Not to Hurry Decision

Paris, April 9 OBy "A. P)-Plenty
of time will be taken by the repara-
ton commission to review and digest
the reports of the experts committee.
headed by General Dawes and Reg
inald Mckenna, which were handed
to that body today. The commission
is not likely to act before the end of
next week in view of the necessity of
the members consulting their res
pective governments, according to
allied circles.
However, an inklinC of how the
commission may dispose of the re-
ports may be CLEANED by the end of
this week, and it, is considered pos
sible that Premier Poincare, Prem
Ter Ramsay Macdonald and Premier
Theunis may instruct their repara-
tions representatives to hand over
the experts documents to the gov
ernments without previous delibera-
ton. If such action were taken it
would be for the purpose of speeding
up the settlement or semblanco
thereof before the German and
French elections.
1.-THE Dawes report is unanimous;
yet it does not represent anybody's
particular views" was one succinct
comment proffered in nom French
circles today. Nevertheless, every
body wants as much of it as possi-
bic accepted as a basis of settlement.

that the combined efforts of General
Dawes and Owen d. Young have

NO CONTRIBUTIONS
THROUGH SCHOOLS
JEFFERSON FUND

Declining to open the schools Of the
State for general contributions in the
Thomas Jefferson memorial fund cam
paign. DR.. Augustus o. Thomas, State
commissioner Of education, in a letter
to Stuart G. Gibboney, president of the
jefferson Memorial Foundation, New
York City, declares that he deems 1t
unwise to call upon the teachers of
the State to take up a collection among
the school children for any cause,
however worthy.
In reply to the communication from
President Gibboney asking for cooper
alton in having the children of Maine
join in the movement with their penny
contributions to the fund establishing
Monticello, the famous home of the
great American, as a national shrine,
DR.. Thomas asserts that while he is In
accord with the purpose to establish
a national shrine at Monticello dedicat-
ed to American principles of law and
government he regretted that he must
decline to open the schools for general
contributions.
Perhaps you know that scores of
organizations are seeking to get their
movements into the schools" said DR..
Thomas in a letter to Mr.. Gibboney.
MANY Of these, in fact practically all,
are worthy and should be encouraged
in themselves, but it is the school that
is public and not the child.
The children of today remember the
great war drives which in the extreme
emergency were put on through the
schools. Many of the children gave
more literally than they were able and
as consequence We have children in
Maine who will grow up and start into
life insolvent-a bad start for anyone.
Already this year we have had urg-
ent requests to open the schools for
the Near East and German Relief; for
the Juare-Lincoln monument to COM
memorate peace between the United
States and Mexico; the rebuilding of
schools in devastated areas and the
building of the Louvain library togeth-
or with many other worthy causes.
There have been sufficient movements
of this kind. if accepted, to take up
collections at least once each month
since school opened in Septemb0. AS
1 said in my telegram, the children
should have chance to contribute in
the same manner as their parents and
friends and through the same channels.
II am pleased to call upon the
teachers of Maine to devote an hour on
Friday. April II. to the study of Thorn
as jefferson and the principles for
which he stood. The schools are not
neglecting the study of American prin-
ciples nor of Americas great men and
women and the necessity of govern
ment by law and through law. l am
constrained to believe the school chill
dren of today do not lack in patriotism
so much as their elders.
even though / must decline the
item of contribution, i am pleased to
wish you success in the undertaking,
and trust that the people of this coun-
try will aid literally in establishing
this shrine to Americanism and dedi-
cate themselves anew to the cause for
which our fathers and our sons have
given their lives"

Denies Statement
Washington Wettest
City in Country

Portland, Me-, Apr. S.-The truth
of published statements, purporting
to be from high government officials
to the effect that Washington is the
"wettest" city in the country, was
denied today before the Maine Meth
odist Conference by Rev. Raymond
Il. johnson, d. D.. of Washington,
member of the board of temperance,
prohibition and PUBLIC morals OF. the
Methodist Episcopal church.
He declared such stories to be
propaganda issued by the wet" in
terests for the purpose of destroying
public faith in prohibition and in
the government, and called for a re-
vival of the old-time temperance
rallies in Methodist churches.
Lets show the vets that we
haven't varied one jot from our SOL
i'd stand for prohibition, by making
little noise ourselves" he said.
''Since prohibition began we have
been keeping quiet and letting the
opposition make all the clamor."
A resolution was adopted, request
ing the retention of Bishop Edwin
H. Hughes as bishop of the Boston
area by the General conference.
Bishop Hughes is presiding at the
conference, which opened today.
Rev. Samuel Chadwick, ID. D.,
principal of Cliff College Training
Home and Mission in England, was
greeted as a fraternal delegate from
the Wesleyan Methodist church to
the General conference at Spring
field Mass next month.
Another resolution adopted urged
Congress to pass the Johnson I'M
migration bill.
Bishop Hughes was chosen presi-
dent Of the conference and Kew. AL
bert I. oliver of Auburn, secretary.
DIR. Robert Watson, pastor OF the
First PRESBYTERIAN church or BOSTON,
and president of the international Re-
form Bureau, declared tonight that the
"great trouble with the men In WASH
ington is that they are lying with their
ears to the ground. listening to eaten
yox populi. If they would listen to the
voice of God instead, they would be
more likely to carry on the work sue
cessfully."
Another thing of great importance
IN this country is the motion picture
industry. We must control the motion
mixtures. There is no other place where
tho marriage vows are ridiculed as they
a re in the movies. Until all states have
one marriage and one divorce law. we
can never expect to lessen the divorce
evil.
"In spite of all that is said against
prohibition, it is successful. If not, why
was the three-mile limit extended to

gone from America, never to return.
The afternoon session was marked

Indicted Montana Senator's
ImpassiOned Address is Fol-
lowed by Senate Order to
Probe Charges He Accepted
Money to use His Influence
in Oil Land Permits

Washington, April s-Immediate
investigation Of the charges which
led to the indictment Of Senator
Wheeler, Democrat, Montana, by a
federal grand jury in his own state
yesterday was ordered today by the
senate.
Action came after an imprisoned
address by the prosecutor of the
Daugherty committee, delivered be-
fore a crowded chamber and galleries
and expressions of confidence by his
colleagues.
Senator Wheeler denounced the
charges brought against him as false
and the indictment as a deliberate
frame up" He assured the senate
there was not a scintilla of evidence
to support them and def1ed his en-
emies to produce such evidence.
Then striking vigorously at his ac-
cusers, the Montana senator declared
he was not to be iLtimidated: that
he had fought corruption during q
stormy political career in his own
state. and would continue to fight 1T
in Washington regardless of his own
personal fortunes.
Announcing that he sought no
sympathy from his colleagues. and
was perfectly able to make his own
fight, Senator Wheeler pleaded with
the senate to put an end to what he
characterized as Spy" system de-
signed to intimidate United States
senators.
"They are not going to intimidate
me" he reiterated. Il am going to
do my duty as 1 see it. l am not
going to be stopped by threats or by
clamor. 1 sincerely hope you believe
me when tell you this charge has
no foundation"
But they have not stopped with
their attack upon me-" he added in a
choking voice. They have tried to
injure my wife and my babies"
AS the first of a dozen senators ap-
preached to congratulate him, Sem
ator Wheeler brushed tears from his
eyes.
