Says He Was Knitted.


The "old guard" republicans rep
resenting New who are looking for
the cause of the startling defeat of
New stopped their search on turn
ing to James +. Watson, the other
Indiana senator.
Watsons ambition to control the
republica nparty in Indiana and not
divide the control with New, as he
has been doing, caused him to knife
his colleague. News supporters bit
terly claimed.
The New leaders claimed they saw
Watson's hand in the fact that Bev-
eridge carried all but two counties
In the sixth congressional district,
in which Watson lives. Every coun-
ty in the ninth district, home of
John Owens, Watsons political man
ager. went for Beveridge.
Watson's followers Indignantly de-
ny the charge of treachery, saying
they did all possible to assist New.
Old Guard Mourning.
(By The United Press)
Washington, May 4.-The senate
"old guard" mourned today over the
passing of one of its stalwarts,
Harry S. New of Indiana.
Regret-persona and political
over News crushing defeat in the
senatorial primary in Indiana by
former Senator Albert ]. Beveridge,
was mingled with apprehension.
For other old guard senators saw
in News defeat a handwriting upon
the wall, forecasting trouble for
them. This was because senators
believed that, rightly or wrongly,
News defeat would be heralded over
the country as resulting from his
vote to seat Senator Truman New
berry of Michigan.
Newberry Case Blamed.
Senator Jim Watson, News col
league, said the woman vote beat
New. The women and the farmers
post mortems" showed, were influ
ences by the discussion of the New
berry case.
Another contributing factor was
believed to be News vote to recon-
NIT to committee the soldier bonus
bill some months ago.
New, bonus advocate, voted then
as President Harding wished. But
veterans started organizing against
him and have kept it up ever since.
News colleagues will be sorry to
lose him, for he was popular per-
sonally-as popular as any man in
the senate. Politically he has al
ways been regarded as one of the
sachems, sitting in inner councils
for the party.
There were hints today that when
New retires from the senate next
March he will be given cabinet
place, if he wants it.

Paris. May i.-France today
agreed TO Join Lloyd Georges pro.
posed pan-European pact Of non.ag-

that ali Frances rights under the

Opposes Allied Note.
The French. however. maintained
firmly the attitude OF opposition TO
the allied note 10 Russia. which they
adopted yesterday.
Premier poincarc threatened TO
resign. II was authorItatively stated
un.ess his determination TO back
Belgium in this regard was unani.
mously supported.
Poincarc's attitude Is that II was
n case of France choosing between
Belgium and England and he chose
Belgium saying:
France cannot forget what Bel
gium did at the beginning Of the
war"
Belgians object.
The Belgian objection TO the note
was that its clause. relating to resti-
tuition Of foreign property. required
Russia to furnish leaseholds TO
former owners. but not freeholds.
The clause also permitted payment
in other ways where restitution was
not made.
The French press today openly
charged that Lloyd George had the |
note framed in this way in order
that the secret deal of the Shell !
interests with Russia might be facili- |
tated. IL charged that Belgian oil
interests WIN be robbed of former |
possessions In Russia, which will be /,

delegation at Genoa to negotiate inn
with the Belgians and to
lraft proposed changes in the po-
itical commissions memorandum to

Stops Planes Cotton Waste.

Cotton waste, which has long been
used in cleaning all kinds Of machin-
cry. has been banned in the workshops
Of the Canadian air service. When
airplane engines are overhauled and
waste is used. the engines have often
stopped when they were afterward
placed In service.
"These cases have appeared to be
due not to waste being accidentally
left In the engine parts but to m ac-

Flowers Unfold in -Four seriea

A flower Is usually made up OF four
different kinds of parts, arranged in
circles. or whorls, one within the other.
Outermost are the sepals. making up
the cnlyX: they are usually firm and
green. They protect the bud and
steady the opered flower. Next comes
the petals, maxim; up the cOrolla ::
they are usually delicate and colored
often fragrant and often making nee
tar: they thus attract insect visitors
and they are also useful IN protecting
the even more important parts further
in.
The third whorl consists Of the red
like stamens. whose heads or anthers
make the golden yellow fertilizing dust
or pollen. The innermost parts OF the
fourth tier are the carpets. which bear
microscopic egg cells. earh Of which,
II fertillzed. will develop into an EN-.
bryO plant: or. to put IL in another
way. the carpels bear possible seeds or
ovules. which become real seeds when
the fertilizing golden dust penetrates
into them.
