Protest Proposed
Priest Execution
Convicted on Charges of
Opposing Soviet Gov

By United Press)

London, March 28-Possibility
of the execution of condemned
Catholic prelate by the Russian
soviet government today aroused
all England and caused debate
ON the subject in the house of
commons and scores of kilograms
of protest.
This nation may take some ac-
ton if the Archbishop Zepliak is
sent to his death on charges of
opposing the soviet system for
which he was condemned TO die
by a soviet court.
Poland already has sent pro,
test against the proposed eXecu-
tion, it is said, and the situa-
tion is causing the utmost Co
Germ throughout Europe.
A temporary stay of eXecu-
tion granted by the all-Russian
central executive committee has
not allayed the fears of those
who condemn religious persecu.
ton.

Liberty Bell to Stay !

nv United PrcssD

Philadelphia, March 2S.-"The
Liberty Bell shall forever hereaf-
ter remain on its pedestal; a fix
ture immovable by the will or po-
wer of men from Independence
Hall"
This phrase is the gist of a res
olution introduced in the Phila-
delphia Council at the request OF
patriotic societies throughout the
United States, particularly the
Sons of the Revolution.
The patriotic orders argue that
it will save the city embarrass-
ment and diplomacy when re-
quests are made from other cities
for the loan of the Liberty Bell,
if a flat rule is established that
the bell shall never again be
moved
1t is more than likely the coun-
Gil will adopt the resolution.

Washington, March 2S.-Ger-
many has officially suggested to
the United States that an inter-
national business conference, to
be participated in by America,
be called for the purpose of set
ting the Ruhr and reparatlons
problems, it was learned here
today
This was contained in the me-
morandum recently laid before
Secretary of State Hughes by
the German Government, which
set forth the complete position
of Germany in the occupation OF
the Ruhr and indicating how far
the Cuno Government was ready
to go in bringing about settle
ment. The same document was
also presented to Great Britain.
The United Press herewith
can reveal the nature and de-
tails of this presentation Of Ger

which have been kept as a close
IL guarded secret.
The German suggestion for an
international business conference
was in The nature of an adj
vocacy of the proposal by Secre-
tary Hughes to Europe last De-
cember that the reparatlons ques-
ton he turned over to COM
mission of financial and economic
experts, Including American rep-

capacity to pay.
The Hughes proposal was block
ed by a rebuff from France. The

ready and willing OF accept the
Hughes plan, and elaborates on
the proposal.
Should France and all. the,
other nations concerned accept
the proposal for such an inter

derstood Germany would seek to
a great international loan, part
or all of which would be turned
over to the Allies on the repara-
tons account. First, however,
Germany would insist that the
French and Belgian troops be
withdrawn from the Ruhr.

row Wilson, whose political ac-
tivity is quietly increasing day

prominent part in the selection

Democratic leaders here admit
that battle royal for the nomi-

chances that a dark horse might
have to carry off the honor. The
sharp divergence of views among
the Democratic chieftains is in

With Difficulty

Philadelphia, March 28-Mrs.
J. Kearsray Mitchell has accepted
her millionaire husbands explain
alton of his relations with Dor
othy King, broadway Butterfly"
according to indications today.
Husband and wife are believed
to have spent the night under the
same roof-in Mitchell's Ritten-
house Square mansion--following
family conference at White
marsh, th1 cou.itry residence of
f. T. Stotesbury, wealthy father
in-law of Mitchell.
Servants said this morning that
both their master and mistress
were in the house. The place was
alive with activity. Flunkeys
were hurrying about, a janitor
was polishing 4 brass rail at the
front steps, and fresh flowers in
vases were placed in the Win
dows.
The key to the reunion Of the
Mitchells is their two children, IA
year old Frances and Little Jack
it. Their love Tor their father will
probably assist greatly in draw
ing together any breach that may
have been opened by revelation
of the millionaire's friendship for
Miss King who authorities believe
was eholoformed by blackmailers
when she refused to assist a plot
against Mitchell.

and maeuverirgS Of detectives.
SO far as can be ascertaihed

ally boarded the private car and
met his wife in the Philadelphia
railroad yards. The car was un-
coupled from the train and rush
ed by a switch engine to another
station where the principals en-
tered a limousine and drove to
White marsh. Detectives guard
ed every entrance to the estate.
Later a machine with drawn cur
tains left the estate and dashed
to the Mitchell home in Ritten-
hous Square Police were on
watch in front of the house, hold
ing back crowd. A man and

Wilson to Play Prominent
Part In Elections of 1924;
Health Continues to Improve
Thought Probable That He May "Trot Out" DARK
Horse" on Eve of Convention-Keeps in
Close Touch With Politics

late Senator Nicholson's success
or. 1t is believed here that this
does not indicate a political break
between the two. but at the same
time it is believed indicative of
the situation resulting from the
efforts of the various groups to
gain control of the party.
With his health continuing to
improve, Mr.. Wilson is taking Il
much more active interest in the
party's affairs. During the last
few weeks he was said to have
held conferences with various po-
litical leaders at his home on
S street.
His great hope still is that the
United States will join the League
of Nations and for that reason
he desires to have candidate
pledged to American participation
in the League nominated by his
party in 1924.
Through a large volume OF
mail. Mr.. Wilson is keeping in
close touch with the political
situation throughout the coun-
try. His predictions as to the
resuls of the last election We're
almost uncanny in their accu:
acy, particularly when the ex-
presidents isolation in S street
home is considered.

Whisky Smugglers Play
Trick on Coast Guard

Norfolk, March 2S Coast
Guard cutters today were patrol

al agents are of the opinion the
willy smugglers have already elud
ed the Governments sleauths and
have landed large quantities of
liquor within the last 10 days,
Sunday a wireless report was
received at Coast Guard head

willing to take no chances i'll the

Guard cutters to the scene of the

1t developed, however, that the
message was merely a ruse on
the part of rum runners to dis
pose of the rather troublesome Ii
quor operations off the coast. As
soon as the cutters were out OF
sight, hurrying to the relief OF
the supposed stricken ship, the
rum ships put off their little
boats and they scurried to shore
through the numerous inlets and
small waterways and landed their
cargoeS.
As a consequence Coast Guaro
officials today are taking extra
ordinary precautions to check up
on strange vessels which have
paused on the outskirts of the
dead line. Coast Guardsmen be-
lieve that the bulk of the cargoes
