WILCOX PROMISES
FIGHT TO F|N|SH''
Wisconsin Senate Candidate
to Run as Independent,
If Necessary.
BY the Associated Press.

LAKE GENEVA. Wis, August IS
Roy P. Wilcox opened his campaign
for the Republican nomination for
United States Senator here last night
with a promise that he would fight to
the finish.
Some question has arisen, he said
as to whether the contest to fill the
uneXpired term of the late Senator La
Toilette can be fought through al
the special election, regardless of the
result of the primary.
IAN unofficial opinion of the at
torney general, however. which coin
cides with legal opinions elsewhere. is
to the effect that a candidate running
in the primary may at the same time
file as an independent candidate in the
election. Therefore such arrange
ments will be made in order that the
fight may be fought to a finish.''
Pledge Support to Coolidge.
Wilcox set forth his platform dec
larationS and then attacked what he
termed "the Madison ring" and the
State administration. He closed with
a pledge of support to President Cool
idge.
He said the ring had grown so
powerful that they even forced the
governor TO remain out OF TINS contest
in. order that their chosen one shall
have free field in his primary ap-
peal"
Wilcox attacked the repeal in the
last Legislature of the personal prop
erty offset on income tax returns. de-
claring that money from the pockets
of the people was piling up in the
State treasury.
IF we wish our representatives to
stand for good government in Wash

CUBAN TREATY
GIVEN 0KEH
Senate Calendar Cleared
of Pacts With O. K. of
Isle of Pines Paper
(Rv The Associated PressN

WASHINGTON, d. c.. March 14.-The
senate calendar stood cleared of all
foreign treaties today but only by a de-
cision to return to committee the
Lausanne pact to re-establish diplomatic
and commercial relations with Turkey.
with action thus going over until the
next session.
Pr.or to its decision late yesterday
on the Lausanne treaty, after the ad-
mlnlstration had redoubed its efforts
to obtain ratification at this session,
the senate ratified the treaty recogniz-
ing Cuban sovereignty over the Isle of
Pines. As approved by vote of 63 to
Ia. the Cuban treaty carried only
minor reservations
The world court question also has
been definitely put over until the next
session under an agreement of yester-
day to make it special order for next
December l.
The action of Chairman Borah Of the
foreign relations committee in moving
for the return to his committee of the
Lausanne treaty. resulting from a
canvass of the senate situation which
convinced him that the necessary two
thirds majority for ratification could
not be had followed conference for
which President Coolidge had called the
Idaho senator to the White House earl,
ier in the day.
After the pact was recommitted, Sec
fetary Kellogg went to the senate for
conference with Chairman Borah on the
subject, but the senator was understood
today to still hold the view that the
virtual solid opposition of the dem
ocrats would result only in rejection of
the treaty if pressed. The dministra.
ton has stressed that with action de-
ferred on the treaty until the Decem-
ber session the situation might prove
embarrassing both to American resi-,
dents in Turkey and those trading with
that country.

COOLIDGE PLANS
CONFERENCE ON
ARMAMENT CUT
Failure of Security Pact
at League Meet Seen
as an Opportunity to
Seek Nations Stand
(By The Associated Press.)

WASHINGTON, d. G., March H.
While awaiting more complete and
authentic advices concerning the dis
armament situation abroad, President
Coolidge believes recent developments
there as already indicated have opened
the way to more definite approach to
the project of another arms limitation
conference to be called by the United
States.
AS soon as more definite advices
are in hand as to the effect of recent
developments at Geneva concerning the
league Of nations disarmament and Sc
curlty protocol, the president proposes
to give close attention to the matter in
conference with Secretary Kellogg.
Any step approaching formal presen-
tation to of the conference idea to the
rations Introduced however, will await
a survey of the situation on the basis
of more authentic advices to be received
through official channels.
AS yet there has been no actual APP
proach to any Of the powers on the
subject and conferences planned by the
president with his secretary Of state
will in fact be the initial move in get
ting the many preliminaries attending
the project under way.
While it will be for these discussions
to determine the plan of procedure Mr..
Coolidge at this time favors a stimuli
taneous approach to the various powers.
Under such plan it would remain for
Secretary Kellogg to lay the project
before the governments at London,
Paris Rome and Toxic through the Am
erican ambassadors there, with the re-
action of each to be reported to Wash.
ington. While hopeful, that it would be
favorable received by each of the gov
ernments it is the present intention of
President Coolidge that in the event
of contrary development, the Wash
ington government shall 60 forward
with the project with such governments
as are agreeable.

AVERSION TO SELLING OF
LIQUOR STARTED 3CAL'S'
TRIP TO WHITE HOUSE

NEW YORK, n. Y, March 1.-THE
aversion of Calvin Coolidge to sell
ing liquor now is revealed as one
thing that possibly started him on the
road TO the White House.
The story came from Col. Coolidge
while bound to Washington with Olds
for the Harding Inauguration. AS
Mr.. Olds told it:
Colonel Coolidge warmed up and
told me that when Calvin was Is
years old it was a serious question
whether or not he should be sent to
college.
"Colonel Coolidge said he was not
sure his son was the right type and
that he finally decided he had better
apprentice him to a pharmacist. At
that time all drug stores had liquor
in stock and after the colonel told
Calvin of his decision his son thought
for a minute or so and then said
Father, sell rum That ended it..
Calvin Coolidge was graduated
from Amherst in 1895.

Nomination
fBv The Associated Press.)

WASHINGTON, ID. c., March IA
Lines were drawn in the senate today
for another battle between administra-
ton forces and the opposition with the
calling up in open session of the once
rejected nomination of Charles B. War
rem to be attorney general.
With the personal influence of Presi-
dent Coolidge actively thrown into the
equation, administration leaders, urged
in conference with the executive to
put up q fight for consideration of his
cabinet appointee, were bending every
effort to pick up the votes necessary
to accomplish it. The president in fur
ther conferences with senate leaders
last night, urged particularly that Mr..
Warren's qualification be vigorously
presented before another vote on CON
firmation. While hopeful of different
result this time, republican leaders
still were unable to see where the added
strength necessary to put the nomina-
tion through would come from. In the
face Of the latest canvasses which indi-
Gated, in fact that they are more apt
to lose strength, they were trying to
improve the situation by pairing off
some of their absentees against the
presence of several opponents who were
absent when the tie vote was taken
Tuesday.
They also faced the disadvantage OF
the adverse committee report giving op
ponents the upper hand in any strategic
moves

Claims Descent From
Christopher Columbus

NEUTRA. Hungary, March 14.-Ru-
dolf Columbus, piano player employed
at local restaurant bar, claims to be
direct descendant of Christopher Col
umbus.
Rudolf's father in 1919 read in a
Vienna paper that the heirs of the great
explorer were called upon by the Span
ish government to make known any
claims upon certain estates left by
Christopher. Convinced from the tradl-
tions of his family that he was direct
lneal descendant, he began to trace the
family tree This required much money,
however, and searching of official rec
ords in Portugal, Spain. and Austria
Hungary, and he died without accom-
plishing his purpose.
Rudolf has now announced that he
will continue where his father left off,
and will lay claim to the fortunes OF
the House of Columbus-Veragna in
Spain.
