IN
Lodges Plan Submitted To-
day Was to Take Place of
That of Brandegee.

Washington, Feb. "a modified
blanket reservation to the four-power
Pacific pact treaty laid before the
senate foreign relations committee to-
day by Chairman Lodge, after a con-
ference with President Harding, met
with immediate opposition from Re-
publican members as we'll as Demo
cratic members.
The new reservation, intended as a
substitute for that proposed several
days ago by Senator Brandegee, Re-
publican, Connecticut, provides that
nothing in the treaty shall be consid-
cred without the consent of congress.
After a lengthy debate which failed
to win over to the proposal any of
the senators who had supported the
Brandegee reservation, the commit
tee adjourned until tomorrow without
acting

appear on page of this issue.
(By Staff Correspondent }

Valley City, n. D.. Feb. 2S.-State's
Attorney VIM. Green of Cass county

Marie Wick of Grygla, MINI. in the
Hotel Prescott at Fargo last june
He concluded by asking the jury to
convict him Of first degree murder.
Uses Exhibits.
In summing up Mr. Green went in-
to the testimony in great detail using
exhibits introduced in evidence to ex-
plain his theories of the crime. He
began by eliminating all Hotel Pres
colt inmates the night of the murder
with the exception of GUNNER who
he said was present at the scene OF
the crime and was the only person up
and around the hotel. The defendant
was the only one who had an oppor-
tunity to commit the crime without
detection, he said.
In pointing to GUNNER as the only
possible murderer. Mr.. Green called
attention to the following:
Gummer's actions between IL
and 1 o'clock on the night of the
murder in which he violated
number of the usual customs of
the hotel as to lights
His failure to meet the train
and his failure to account for not
doing so.
The fact that no one was in the
lobby of the hotel when o Brien
went by and conflicting stories
told by him and Andy Brown.
The fact that he was in the vi =
cinity of Miss Wick's room at 4
o'clock in the morning as he stat
ed in the examination by officials
r. l.
he has no recollection as to
whether or not he was near the
room at that hour.
His actions at the time he
claimed he discovered the body
when he didn't report his grue-
some find until some time after
although he claimed on the stand
/. that he did not know Miss Wick
>was dead and he didn't see any
blood.
His creation of the fictitious
character Of James Farrell.''
The fact that no one else was in
the, hotel that night with posi-
ble'exception of Andy Brown cre-
ated such fictitious characters
