Washington, Jan. Ex-senator
Brandagee's pronouncement that
the United States is not bound by
the foreign policy of the president
or secretary of state without the
consent of the senate is the SEN
sation of the hour. Foreign gov
ernments whose representatives
the constitutional system of the
United States ever since an Ameri-
can president signed a contract
with the senate repudiated, are be
wildered over the new turn of
events.
The truth is a controversy has
been brewing under the surface be
tween President Harding's former
colleagues on the Republican side
of the senate chamber and the sec
retary of state which if carried to
a logical conclusion may mean a
change in the i'm
pOrtance of a secretary of state of
American ambassadors abroad.
Knox Believed Likewise.
Senator Brandege is the leader
of the isolation bloc" But the
views he expressed about the ne
cessity of getting the consent of
the senate before any international
act of the United States govern
ment can be binding is not some
thing of recent origin The late
Philander Knox once secretary
of state himself, became converted
to that doctrine after he became q
member Of the senate and it was
with difficulty that President
Harding coaxed him to eliminate
from his famous peace resolution a
phrase directing" the chief exec
utiye TO negotiate a treaty with
Germany. Besides Senator Bran
degee there are some senators of
the so-called liberal social and
some Democrats of the William
Jennings Bryan philosophy on for
eign Affairs who believe a diplomat
ic note exchanged between govern
ments should not be sent without
the full approval OF the American
senate.
President Harding himself has
recognized the weight of the move
ment which seeks to prevent the
chief executive by a series of notes
from committing the government 10

PLAN new PACT
WITH GERMANY
Expect Harding to Back Proposal
for Treaty Creating Commission
on Private Damage Claims.

Washington, Jan. 25.-President
Harding was expected today to give
early approval on a proposal that
lae United States negotiate a new
treaty with Germany creating a
commission for arbitration of pri-
Vate damage claims growing out of
The World war.
Suggested at a White house din
ner conference last night between
'he president, Secretary Hughes,
and Republican leaders of the SEN
sle and house, the proposed arbi-
uauon treaty, while understood not
10 have been definitely decided
upon, was said to have been favor
eOiy viewed by the president as
providing substitute for arbitra-
lion rights reserved by this coun-
ry under its separate treaty with
Germany.
Agreement was said to have been
reached at the conference also for
renewal of the five million loan
ssfeement with Liberia during the
var.

Chicago, Jan. 25.-A comprehen-
siye survey of business activities
shows an unmistakable trend up
ward in this territory and business
experts now count on the sharpen
ing of the upward curve in April.
There is much to confirm the ac-
curacy of their predictions. The
farmer is only Il potential purchaser
at present but manufac cturers are
working in advance to be ready
against the time when the next crop
puts the farmer in funds. Labor
costs are liquidating slowly but con-
stantly. Many prospective troubles
are vanishing while still far in the
future.
Organized labor has agreed to
fight the LandiS wage awards in the
building trades but the whisper
comes from inside labor circles that
there will be some satisfactory ad-
justment by Feb. Is and that the
workmen are determined to go to
work.
Railroads are buying equipment.
The Chicago & Northwestern has
JUS placed an order for steel pas
senger coaches Car orders for
various roads aggregate 1900 box
cars, 500 passenger cars and 800 re-
frigerator cars. Demand for plates,
shapes and structural steel is in
creasing and the big rail mill of the
Illinois Steel company at Gary will
open next Monday with orders sufti-
cient to assure activity for six
months.

SOMETHING ELSE
FOR THE FARMER
TO WORRY ABOUT

Visalia, Cal, Jan. 25.-An un-
heralded and unknown airplane
swooped down into the pasture
of r. E. Whalley, rancher near
here, and so seriously injured
one of his prize horses that it
was necessary to destroy the
animal. it was learned today.
THE f1ier did not stop TO rem
der first aid to the horse Mr..
Whalley declared. I'm not
seeking damages, but l think
he should have been man
enough to come and tell me
about it.
This is the first time l ever
heard of an airplane coming
down and attacking a horse.
I'm not worrying. however,
that it will be a common oc-
currence within a few years. "

Montreal, Jan. 25.-(By the AS
sociated Press. .)-Thousands of
marriages have been illegally per-
formed in this province during the
last 100 years, because of the ma
tionality of the officiating clergy
men. An act passed in 1929, while
Quebec was the British colony OF
Lower Canada, provided that only
clergymen who were British sub
jects could perform marriage cere-
monies. When, in 1867. Quebec
joined the other provinces to form
the dominion, she retained her civil
law intact
No civil marriages are performed
in the province Since 1929 many
cIergymen have come to Quebec
from other countries, especially the
United States, and they have Off
ciated at marriages without regard
to their nationality. AT the end of
each year they have turned in their
books.

TRIES TO KILL
MAN WHO LOVES
HIS OWN WIFE
Student Fires TlUo
Shots at Mr.. and
Mrs. BorolUSRi.

Chicago, Jan. 25.-Raymoud
Oberndorff, said to be a promising
young musician, is held by the po-
lice today pending investigation of
his activities last night when he at
tempted to shoot Felix Borowski,
composer and president of the Chi
cago Musical college.
The young man, believed by the
police, to have become demented
last night, told the patrolman VINO
arrested him that Mr. Borowski
should die because of his devotion
to his young wife, a devotion,
Oberndorf insisted, which had
caused Mr. Borowski to neglect his
musical composition and to slight
him.
Beaten With Pistol.
Oberndorff, the police say, called
at the Borowski home, where he
was cordially received. After a
brief conversation, he suddenly
fired two shots, narrowly missing
beat the composer over the head
with the pistol during a desperate
struggle.
Borowski's wife was formerly
Miss Elsa Kanne of Peoria, Illinois.
Mrs. Borowski is the daughter
of DR.. A. j. Kanne of Peoria, and
married the composer in 1920.
Oberndorff had been Borowski's sec
retary for three years.
Attacker Is HyStericaI.
"Mr. Borowski exerted a hypnot-
ic influence over me-" Oberndorff
declared in his cell today, where
he talked and sobbed Historically.
Until Elsa Kanne came into his
life, l was his favorite pupil. My
art was to be known throughout
the world. Then she came. Mr..
Borowski lost his genius. No soul
No fire. His art was nothing. She
was everything. Besides he had
killed in me the fire that produced
my great music. What 1 am now?
A cheap piano player in a movie
I'll have his life if l ever get out"
The police regard Oberndorff as
unbalanced and the charge on
which he will be arraigned has not
yet been determined.
Wife Was Peoria Girl
Peoria, ILL.,, Jan. 25.-Mrs. Elsa
Borowski is the daughter of DIR.
and Mrs. A. ]. Kanne, one of Peo-
ria's oldest families. She met her
husband when she went to Chicago
to study in the Chicago Conserva-
tory of Music. 1t was a case of
love at first sight, it is said, and
they were married a year ago last
summer. Miss kanne was a popu-
lar member of Peoria's social set
before her marriage.
Mrs. Borowskis mother is in
Chicago in answer to a long dis
tance call from her daughter last
night after the attempted shooting.

THURSDAY
Pilgrims Arrive From ALI
Parts of Italy to View
Body of Pontiff.

Rome, Jan. 25.-(By the Asso-
ciated Press. )-The funeral of Pope
Benedict will be held at o'clock
tomorrow afternoon, it was an
nounced at the vatican today.
Pilgrims today continued to ar
rive from all parts of Italy, camp
ing in the open air before st. Peters
in the hope of getting a glimpse of
the body. More than half a mil
lion persons have filed past the
catafalque in the two days on which
the body has been exposed, the
crowds, though orderly, taxing the
gendarmes charged with keeping
them in line.
Foreign Cardinals Come.
Meanwhile the foreign cardinals
continue to arrive for the concIave
of the sacred college at which the
new pontiff will be elected. Car
dinal Mercier, of Belgium, who is
looked upon as somewhat of a
dark horse" in the election, is ex-
peCted in time for the funeral
1t is acknowledged on all sides
that he is certain to poll more votes
on the first ballot than any other
foreign cardinal.
Interest in the election centers
greatly upon its possible effect on
the relations between the vatican
and the Italian government. Car
diEal Maff is represented as being
supported by the group favoring a
rapprochement, while Cardinal
Gasparri, now acting head of the
church, favors continuance of
Benedict's policies of tolerance
without recognition. Cardinal
Merry del Val, also mentioned as a
possible choice, is supported by the
faction favoring absolute separa-
tion. .---.--. -..-.
Deny Humbert Visit.
The statement has appeared in
several newspapers that Crown
Prince Humbert visited the ca
thedral yesterday to view the body.
This is semi-C ficialIy denied
through the Stefani News agency.
The college of cardinals further
decided that the funeral ceremony
should be attended only by cardin-
ais, members of the diplomatic
corps, and representatives of Ro-
man aristocracy.

BOARDS URGED
Proposes That Boards
and Agencies Be Cut
From 16 to Four

Des Moines, Ia, May 22.-Reduc-
ton Of the sixteen existing boards and
agencies of the Presbyterian church
in the United States of America to
four and the creation of a general
council, was unanimously recon-
mended here today to the 134th gem
eral assembly Of the denomination by
the committee on reorganization, Of
which Rev. DR.. John Timothy Stone
Of Chicago Is chairman.
For nearly a quarter of a CEN
tury," the report asserted, the Pres
byterian church has been struggling
with the problem of cooperation and
coordination and greater efficiency.
A former committee OF administra-
tive agencies sought to work out the
problems involved, but was inttmidat-
ed by the fear of legal complications
in the administration Of the large
trust funds.
The present committee appointed
at Philadelphia in 1920 was instructed
at Winona Lake in 1921 to proceed ia
a general consolidation of boards and
agencies. and now brings in a report
substantially in accordance with the
definite instructions given by the Wi
mona assembly. 4
Would Change work.
The committee also recommended
that certain work hitherto performed
by committees be assigned to the Of

Hue Was Leader OF
+, Miners And Iron
Workers In Germany

Essen, Germany-Otto Hue, whose
death occurred here recently, was the
|recognized leader Of the coal miners
and ironworkers' trade unions, whose
membership runs into millions.
Lean and active, with his dropping
Heds mustache and his SLOUGH hat he
hooked more like a Sunday school in
spector than the leader of a great
party. He was a Social Democratic
tmember Of tho reichstag, the Prussian
diet n the economic parliament.
He represented labor on the Ger
mar delegation to the Spa conference,
and It was mainly through his instru-
mentality that the stipulated coal de-
!liveries to the entente were upheld.
He showed his breadth of mind on
this occasion by taking his stand
side by side with SHINES. the great
coal magnate, to whom he was on
almost every other point mortAly OPP
posed, but as he himself said. fire and
water were for M working toward
the same end.
Liked BY People.
Hue always remained the man OF
the people. He preferred to speak
