DEMOCRATS TRYING
TO REVIVE CORPSE
vention in Milwaukee Saturday and
Start Plans to Reorganize.
(By Associated Press Leased wirel


Administrations fifty prominent
Democrat of Wisconsin in a get
together banquet Saturday night adopt
ed resolutions urging the chaifmen of
the Democratic county committees in
every county of Wisconsin promptly to
call their local committeeman and all
others affiliated with the party together
for the purpose Of discussing party af-
fairs and perfecting party organization,
Thomas NJ. Kearney, Racine: Judge
Martin L. Lueck, Juneau; Joseph Mar
tin, Green Bay. and H. A. Moeh1enpah,
Milwaukee, and John F. Doherty of
Lacrosse were among those prominent
in the gathering. Mr.. Kearnay said the
meeting was for the purpose of renew
ing devotion to Democratic principles
and to indicate in them in a return to
them lies the only hope of this country
in the future. Judge Lueck denounced
the condition of state affairs as re-
suit of the work Of the Republican
administration.
"The question is not whether we can
re-organize the Democratic party" said
John F. Doherty of Lacrosse. sit is
whether we can restore representative
government to Wisconsin. There is
only one thing for the Democratic party
to do in this crisis, and that is to
demand the repeal Of the primary law. .
Mr.. Doherty asserted that the pri-
mary law disorganizes parties, breeds
factions and is responsible for the po-
litical evils which exist in this state.
It should be attacked upon the funda-
mental principle, he said, that the state
has no more right to interfere with the
individuals in the exercise Of his poll
teal belief than it has to interfere
with his religious belief. His denunci-
alton of the primary law was applaud
ed. He declared that it had "chloro-
formed parties" and that until it is
repealed, the state will never have the
"strong and vigorous parties it once
had"

people of the United States on the
question of war before any declaration
by Congress becomes effective, is ask
ed in resolution introduced into the
upper house of the Wisconsin legisla-
ture today by Senator A. E. Carey,
Edgerton. The resolution carries out
a platform pledge of the Wisconsin

lature memorializes Congress to sub
NIT to the people an amendment to the
constitution to provide shat no
declaration Of war shall become ef-

the recurrence of war"
The resolution therefore asks that
the people be given the right to vote

committee when an amendment was
attached and recommended, calling for
bi-weekly payment of wages as at
present, but including individuals and
firms having employees, as well as
corporations.
Senator Werden, Ashland, attached
an amendment hat would exclude
numbering and logging companies from
provision of the bill The amendment
was adopted, and then the commit

bill in practically the same form as the
present law and the proposal was killed

ss Request This Week. 4

fBy Associated Press Leased wire)

Washington.-Pos tponement of .ac-
ton until the next session of congress
upon President Hardings request fol-
court set up by the League of Nations
was virtually decided upon today by
the senate foreign relations committee
No vote was taken, but senators repre-
senting all views said the consensus OF
opinion was that the matter could not
be brought before the senate in time
remaining before the present session
ends. The committee decided however
to ask for further information. Sena-
tor Lodge of Massachusetts,, chairman,
said he expected to confer tomorrow
with President Harding.
Information deemed necessary by the
committee relates especially to tEr
powers and jurisdiction Of the interna-
tional court and the form of adhesion
Of other nations to it, including what
reservations they had adopted. The
extent to which the labor section Of the
treaty Of Versailles may be associated
with the court is another point upor
which information will be sought.
Ask Harding for Information.
Senator Borah of Idaho, Republican,
presented the committee resolution
calling upon the president for further
information. 1t was adopted without ;
record vote, but with Senator Kellogg
of Minnesota, Republican, expressing
his disapproyal. It says:
"That the president be requested to
advise the committee whether he favors
an agreement obligating all powers, OF
governments, who are signers of the
protocol creating the court, to submit
all questions about which there is dis
pute and which cannot be settled oJ
diplomatic, efforts relative to: a-The
Interpretation of treaties; b-Any
question Of international law; tins
existence of any fact, If established,
would constitute breach of inter
national obligation; <d--The nature Tor
extent of reparation to be made for the
breach of an international obligation;
e-The Interpretation Of a sentence
passed by the court.
Secondly, if the secretary Of state
favors such an agreement, does he deem
it advisable to communicate with the
powers to ascertain whether they are
willing to obligate themselves as afore.
SIN other words, are those who are
signers of the protocol creating the
court willing to obligate themselves by
agreement to submit such questions as
aforesaid, or are they to insist that
such questions shall only be subml5tc !.
in case both, or all, parties interested
agree to the submission after the con-
troversy arises 2"

VACATION 10 MINERS
WILL PESTER FRENCH
Ruhr Miners to Get Vacation With
Full Pay During the Month
- r. of March. ~.
(By Associated Press Leased Wire


Essen-Firty per cent of the miners
in the Ruhr valley are to be given a
vacation on full pay during March,
and the others are to be granted April
on the same terms, according to infor-
nation received by the French.
BY this means the German mine
directors will further their campaign
of obstruction to the Franco Belgian
occupational authorities, as it is con-
coded that such vacations would re-
duce the present production of the
Ruhr mines approximately one-half, or
to about one-fourth of normal.
There are 100000 miners in the Ruhr.
French officials estimates place the
reduction in the output already at
from fifty to sixty per cent of normal,
as the miners have been working
seven hours a day, instead of eight,
as formerly, and many are employed
in repair work and odd jobs around
the mines instead of in the actual
production of coal.
According to. French estimates there
aref rom 100000 to 100000 tons of
coal above the ground at the pit-heads.

CHANGE I'M CABINET
ANNOUNCED TODAY
Postmaster-General Work to Interior
and Harry s. New for POST
master-General.
(By Associated Press Leased wire)


Washington, D. c. Selection Of
Postmaster-General Work to succeed
Albert Fall as secretary of the In
terror and Of Senator Harry S. New
of Indiana to become postmaster-gen-
eral was announced today at the
White House.
The selection of Mr.. Work to take
the interior portfolio has been fore
cast ever since President Harding be-
gan to turn over in his mind the
names of amiable candidates. A resi-
dent of Colorado and a man of dem
onstrated ability in governmental or
ganization, Mr.. Work is regarded by
the president as fulfilling all the quail
ihcations for an interior secretary.
The change in the cabinet lineup
is to take place on March 4th, when
Mr.. Fall retires after two years serv-
ice, and the nominations of Mr.. Work
and Senator New were sent to the
senate today TO permit their confirma-
ton before the present session of
congress comes to an end.
Senator New had been offered a
place in the original Harding cabinet
but declined because he thought he
could render the administration a
greater service by remaining in the
senate. In last years primaries he
was defeated for denomination, how
ever, and when it became known that
he was under consideration for the
cabinet, an element of the Indiana
Republican organization began a de-
termined but losing fight to prevent
the appointment

FELDSCHAU CASE
GOES OVER WEEK
Preliminary Hearing Set
for Today Continued
by Consent. s
TOO i'll To- APPEAR
EiiglIM@ EI7si.:;; |.

The case against Louis Feldschau,
Jr., set for preliminary hearing this
morning on a statutory charge, has
been continued until March LIST, by
agreement between District Attorney
Barnett, Roy Stephenson, representing
Feldschau, and James e. Tully, counsel
for the family of the young girl who
is named in the complaint.
The sixteen year old girl was
said to be in no, condition to ap-
pear at the hearing, although it is be-
lieved that she will recover her health
in time. At the time of the arraign-
ment of Feldschau her condition was
said to be grave, but later develop
ments showed a marked improvement.
When the continuance was made until
March /, it was expected that she
would at that time be able to be
present in court.
Family Up In Arms.
The unfortunate affair which brought
Feldschau into court was said by those
who had observed the young couple,
to have had its origin in love affair,
which was complicated by the youth
of both and especially the tender age
of the girl. Feldschau was twenty
one at the time and the young lady
fifteen. Parental opposition added to
the difficulties of their courtship, and
the mother of the young girl forbade
the sutton the house.
Secret meetings continued, however,
under the fear Of the disapproval OF
the father and mother. Marriage was
impossible because of the known OPP
position of the girls parents, who
wisely held that the daughter was too
young to entertain serious courtship.
The final step in the girls young
tragedy came when she was taken to
Waukegan by the youth for an alleged
illegal operation, and the condition Of
her health awakened her parents to
the developments in the situation.
The girl, who was sixteen years of
age on st. Valentines Day, February
IA, was not in public school at the time
Of the affair, as was first stated. She
has been employed in nurse girl capa-
city, attending continuation school
one day week.
