DIPHTKERIA GRIPS
N0ME;N0 ANT|TOxIN
TO CHECK EPIDEMIC

Nome, Alaska. Jan. 81 (By A. P)-
Nome has a diptheria epidemic, and
no anti-toxin. The nearest known
supply of anti-toXin is at Anchorage
600 miles away and must come by
dog team. Several deaths have oc-
cured.
There is only one physician here
and new cases are appearing daily.
The United States Public Health
Service, in response to request re-
layed by radio, cable and by land
telegraph. has ordered 100000 anti
toxin units dispatched from Seattle.
This must come by way of Seward
and the Alaskan Railroad to Nenaina
400 miles away and thence by dog
team. This would take so days.
Dan Sutherland. delegate in con-
gress from Alaska, has sent word
that he is trying to get an airplane
to fly from Fairbanks. Alaska. and
pick up the anti-toxin at Nenaina
BY this means it would take about a
week to bring the life saving agent
from Seattle.
The schools have been closed and
Nome has been quarantined.
A large percentage of those are
Eskimos, who in previous epidemics
have proved very susceptible to di-
seases that have scourged the white
race.

GERMANY PROTESTS
INNOCENCE BREACH
PACT; BEGS DETAILS

Paris. Jan. o1.-(By A. P)-Ger-
many's reply TO the recent note Of the
allied ambassadors which was handed
to Lord D'Abernos, the British am
bassador, by Foreign Minister Strese-
mann in Berlin today. again protests
against the refusal of the allies to
give Immediately bill of particulars
on Germans alleged violations of the
disarmament clauses in the treaty of
Versailles. 1t also reasserts that Ger
many has really disarmed and is fully
entitled to the evacuation of the Co.
logne area.
The Berlin communication reviews
the note of the council of amba ssadors
which was handed to Chancellor Luz
Their yesterday. and which declined to
examine the question Of the nom
evacuation with Germany or 20 into
further details regarding the reasons
for maintaining the allied forces in
the Cologne zone.
The Stresemann communication
then says: 1.-THE allied governments
continue to keep the government as
well as public opinion. in ignorance of
the material facts on which they seek
TO base the decisions they took several
weeks ago. The German people again
lind themselves accused of not having
executed the treaty wit hout being
given the possibility of defending
themselves against these accusations.
The note adds that Germany cannot
understand why she is reproached
with misunderstanding articles 4oS and
429 of the Versailles treaty. In this
connection it says: 'She has not con-
tested and does not contest that these
articles make the evacuation of the
northern zone of the Rhineland on
January 10. 1920. depend upon certain
conditions. Her affirmation bears only
on the point that these preliminary
conditions have been executed. The
fact of Gcrmany'S disarmament is too
evident for the allied governments to
justify non-fulflment of the evacua-
ton clasuses by the present state Of
German disarmament"
In conclusion the note states: Cen
eral interest in fruitful political col
alteration does not permit an indefi-
mite continuance of the present Stua-
ton which leaves in uncertainty the
fate of a great German territory and
it's population. The German govern
ment. therefore. assumes that the al
lied governments will. with the brief
est delay communicate the promised
specifications. thereby establishing a
condition necessary for an agreement
designed to dispel the controversy
that has arisen"

SENATE INSISTS ON
EXECUTIVE SESSIONS
IN CASE OF Stone

Washington. Jan. disqualification
or Attorney General Stone for appoint
ment to the supreme court occupied
the Senate in open session for more
than two hours today before it reaf-
firmed it's opinion that the subject
was one which the rules required
should be considered in executive ses-
sion.
Taking advantage Of President
Cummins' reversal of former ruling
TO permit him to answer published
statements about his position on the
nomination. Senator Hefin, Democrat,
Alabama. went at length into Mr.
stone s activities as counsel for the
estate of J. Pierpont Morgan in a suit
against James A. Ownbey of Colorado,
the outcome of which he characterized
as IAN act of judicial tyranny"
While the debate was in progre IS
the Senate judiciary committee COM
pleted arrangements for special ees-
sion tomorrow at which it will renew
consideration of the nomination., re-
committed to it yesterday by the Sem
ate. 1t was the expectation of most
members that the attorney general
would be invited to appear tomorrow
and give his version Of the Ownbey
case and of the steps being taken by
the department to seek q second nj
dictment of Senator Wheeler. Demo-
crat. Montana, in the District of Co.
lumbia.
Reports were current at the Capitol
today that Mr.. Stone would not be
averse to appearing at an open ses-
sion il the committee decided to hold
one. provided his appearance would
not prejudice consideration of the
Wheeler case by the district grand
jury. Because of the latter factor,
however. it was considered improb-
able that such q situation would be
held or that any action would be an.
nounced by the committee before the
grand jury had completed its work.
Declaring the action obtained by the
Morgan estate against Ownbey in a
supreme court decision sustaining
Delaware courts in an action brought
there subsequent to the institution of
receivership proceedings in Colorado
violated the fundamental principles
OF justice" Senator Hefin said he
would judge Mr.. stones conception
of the intent of the constitution" by
his arguments in that case.
mo attorneys duty to his client re-
quires him to do anything\in the trial
Of the case which denies to the person
proceeded against due process of
law" the Alabama senator asserted.
"No attorney is justified in taking
advantage of. or solemnly invoking a
technicality which. if sustained, would
deprive the humblest citizen of the
right to appear in court and be heard
in reply to the complaint filed against
him."
