STILL HOPE FOR LEAGUE
Mr.. Wilson's Confidence Unshaken,
He Tells Impromptu Throng.

Washington, Jan. I5.-Declaring
anew his confidence in the vitality
of the League of Nations" former
President Wilson today warned an
impromptu gathering at his home on
S street that those who opposed the
league would have to look out for
themselves"
A motion made by man in the
audience at meeting of the Wood
row Wilson foundation that those
present pay their respects to the for
mer chief executive, led to spon-
taneous pilgrimage of several thou-
sand admirers and friends of Mr..
Wilson to his residence. There the
crowd increased and swiftly resolved
itself into an enthusiastic demon
stration.
MIR. Wilson's remarks were in re-
ply to Samuel Gompers, president OF
the American Federation of Labor,
who. acting as spokesman for the
crowd. had declared that its presence
offered proof that the League of Ma
tions was not dead.
II need hardly tell you how such
demonstration of friendship and con-
fideice makes me feel" Mr.. Wilson
replied. There can be no doubt of
the vitality of the League of Nations.
1t will take care of itself and those
who do not regard it will have to
look out for themselves. I have no
anxiety for it, My only anxiety is
to see our great people turn their
faces in the right direction and move
with all their force thank you for
all this. ! don't deserve it, but en-
JOY it, nevertheless"
The ex-President was assisted to
the door by Mrs. Wilson, who shared
with him the plaudits OF the crowd.
MIR. Wilson's, voice, while lacking
the volume Of his more vigorous
davs. was stronp enough TO carry to
most those who Jampoed the street in
front Of his home AT one point,
when the cheers became especially
vociferous. Mr.. Wilson made mo-
tion as though he intended to walk
down the steps and shake hands with
those nearest, but he was restrained
by Mrs. Wilson.
The marching throng was led by
Senators Walsh of Montana, Fletcher
Of Florida and Harris of Georgia.

The Republicans. despite an effort

Of such sums for an office paying
only $500 a year, have placed them
selves in the unenviable position of

The vote of approval did not come
unntil an organized movement had
been started to defend it throughout
the country.
Republican papers throughout the

That~indignation of voters through

Of office those who upheld Newberry
was predicted freely Friday.
Much of the criticism was being
directed toward Sen. Selden P. Spen-
Ger of Missouri. Senator Spencer
was chairman of the senate commit
tee which investigated the Newberry
case and gave him a clean bill OF
health. Spencer did more than that.
He took charge of and directed the
defense of Newberry on the senate
floor.
So far as the present senate is CON
cerned, the case was settled Thursday
night when on four roll calls. each
resulting 46 to al, Republican leaders
repelled all assaults on Senator New
berry's title to his seat.
That record will be carried into
the senatorial primaries and the gen
eral elections in every state.

for the alleged non-delivery by the
Rock Island railroad of ga cases of
corn beef during the war. The suit
was filed yesterday about the time
of the wedding Of Princess Mary,
the Kings daughter.

roads for a period during the war:
King George was the only plaintiff
named in the suit.
According to the suit the corned
beef, which was to be shipped from
here to Hoboken. N. j., never was
