SENATE HALTS
TREATY ACTION
Missouri Senator Blocks
Plan to Report Bill Out.

By United Press
WASHINGTON, Dec. 11.-Ac-
ton on the Kellogg anti-war treaty
was postponed again by the senate
foreign relations committee today at
the request of Senator James A.
Reed of Missouri, leader of the lit
tie group of reservationistS.
Chairman Borah announced the
committee would meet again Friday
and that he was hopeful a vote
could be taken them so the treaty
might be reported to the senate
for ratification before the Christ
mas holidays. Secretary of State
Kellogg concluded his testimony be-
fore the committee in a brief exec
utive session. He denied that Rus
sia's signature to the pact could be
interpreted as recognition contend
ing in multilateral treaty nations
only adhered to the document, not
to each other.
Kellogg also asserted it could have
no effect upon the Monroe Doctrine
because that doctrine is considered
an essential part of this country's
national defense. Correspondence
prior to signing of the treaty re-
served national defense rights to
each nation, he pointed out.
Reed sought the delay so that he
might look into some matters" He
is expected to present minority
report from the committee on the
Monroe Doctrine.

4-STATE RACE
Eager to Give Land for
Summer White House.

B1 Times Special
WASHINGTON, Dec. II. - A
struggle impends among three
states, and possibly four, if Presi-
dent Coolidge's recommendations for
a summer White House for the Pres
ident are followed by congress.
Coolidge suggested a place within
200 miles, where the President might
go for a few days at time and es-
cape Washington'S heat. This
would limit the choice to Virginia,
West Virginia, Maryland, and posi-
bly, Pennsylvania. Senators from all
these states today expressed them
selves in favor of the project, and,
of course, in favor of the location in
their states.
j. Wilson Leakin, Baltimore law
yer, some years ago left bequest
of 100000 for the purpose, but this
proposal was not taken up, and the
bequest has reverted to his estate
under terms of his will.
Senator Swanson of Virginia sug-
gested possibility of the Shenandoah
national park, in the Shenandoah
m atainS of Virginia. Virginia is
ceding 100000 acres of "the most
beautiful scenery in the country" to
the United States as part of this
big park, he said, and a summer

amazing and enviable by all such
bunglers as myself. I have read
much that he has written, and
usually with enjoyment. But
1.-THE thing that matters, when
Conrad is mentioned, has little to
do with the mans practical wisdom
or lack of it; not even with his tech

there; and you feel it or you don't.

PrejudiCeS

A. LII of us can give explanations
N for our whims and epthusiasms
and prejudices, but for the most part
these reasons have only the slight
est relation to the fundamental
causes.
If a man is afflicted with race
prejudice he will begin by arguing
with all the sincerity that he can
master that it isn't a prejudice at
all. He will talk of oriental and
occidental civilization and condemn
the business methods of the par
ticular race concerning which he is
bigoted.
But if you know the man long
enough and we'll enough it will
eventually develop that none OF the
reasons which he assigns for his
prejudices is valid. The thing will
be rooted deeper and earlier.
As a child, some nursema1d spoke
to him slightingly about the Jews,
or some playmate on the block
handed him an epithet with which
to plague a Jewish companion. This
is the seed out of which in the
course of years full-blown and
idiotic prejudice can spring and
flourish.

REMUS AGAIN
TO STAR HERE
IN U. S. court
Dethroned Bootleg King to
Play Prominent Part in
Squibb Booze Trial.
JAN. 20 DATE is SET
Former Liquor Gar May
Lose Collateral in Suit
by Government.

George RemuS. former bootleg
king, who has been in obscurity
several months, will resume his
place in the spotlight, Jan. %, when
the governments suit to collect
more than $25O,O0o as liquor taxes,
is tried here.
Trial date for the six-year-o old
suit was announced today by Al
bert Ward. This is the last big
case remaining on the federal court
docket, Ward said.
Remus is not defendant in the
case, defendants being w. P. Squibb
& Co., Lawrenceburg, and the
American Surety Company of New
York.
Remus' connection with the suit IS
his ownership and alleged illegal
removal of nearly 10000 gallons of
whisky from the distillery, and the
collateral he gave the surety COM
pany which provided the distillery
bonds.
May Lose Collateral
If the government wins it's suit,
Remus loses his collateral. Remus
is expected to participate in the
trial.
The government charges nearly
ninety thousand gallons of whisky
was withdrawn from the distillery
warehouse by Remus between April,
1919, and April, 1922. The tax paid
was at the nonbeverage rate of
1920 a gallon, it is alleged, when
the liquor was intended for bever-
age purposes, the tax for which
was $40. 1t is the difference the
government seeks to collect.
The suit asks that the govern
ment recover on six bonds issued
by the company to guarantee that
all liquor distilled between the peri
DDS covered by the bonds would be
handled in compliance with the law.
Defense attorneys are expected to
contend the bonds we're given I'M
der an act of congress of Aug. q,
1894, providing tax of $1.10, al
though 1920 tax actually was paid,
under the prohibition act of 1919.
One Bond Not Covered
This objection does not cover one
$4,000 bond given for a permit is
sued June 90. 1921.
Since he purchased the Squibb
company corporate stock and ware
house certificates, RemuS has had an
eventful career.
He is alleged to have removed the
nearly 10000 gallons of whisky from
the warehouse, his gang of liquor
runners smuggling it in armored
motor trucks, protected by gunner,
to his Death Valley" farm near
Dayton, O., whence it was boot
legged to thirsty connoisseurs in
stead of going into the proper chan
nels as medicinal whisky.
The whisky was withdrawn from
the warehouse by use of permits,
alleged to have been stolen from the
prohibition administrators office in
New York City. Withdrawal OF
1900 cases for nonbeverage pur-
poses was authorized by each per-
nit.
Served Prison Term
Remus was defendant and wit
ness here in several cases when his
alleged bootleg ring collapsed. He
also served a sentence in the fed
eral penitentiary at Atlanta.
Last June he was released from

Finds in Ancient City Show
How CanaaniteS and

CHARIOT MODEL Barred
Biblical Passage Recalled
by Discoveries in Jordan
Valley.

By Science SerUice
PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 11.-How
Egyptian and Canaanite soldiers
fought and worshipped within the
walls of Beth-shen, in the valley of
the Jordan, $500 years ago, is shown
today by a report on the newest
finds made by the University of
Pennsylvania museums expedition
to Palestine, by Director Alan Rowe.
This is the seventh season that the
expedition has excavated at this
famous biblical city now known as
BeiSan.
A great fort-tower, with thick
walls of brick, is one of the inn
portant finds from the period be-
fore the coming of the Children of
Israel, when Palestine was a con-
quered province of Egypt and was
occupied by the Canaanites. This
fort-tower must have served as
last refuge for troops in time of
siege, Rowe concludes.
Adjoining it are the foundations
of building which he believes may
well have been the residence of the
Egyptian commandant of the fort
in the time of RameSes II, the
Pharaoh of the Oppression.
Scribes Lived in Fort
Egyptian ScribeS and craftsmen
also must have been quartered in
the fort" Rowe reports, "for we
actually have found the handiwork
of one of these very Scribes on a
potsherd in the corridor west of the
commandments residence"
The inscription on the fragment
is part of a religious text translated
as: THE fiend in the house of the
ruddy beings" The fend is the god
Set and the ruddy beings are his
associates, which included the hip
popotamus, pig, crocodile, and SER
pent.
The inscription is of particular
Importance, since it is the first evil
dence at Beisan of the hieratic writ
ing, used by the Egyptians instead
of hieroglyphicS for ordinary bust
ness documents.
Among the objects discovered in
the fort-tower were small figurine
of king, wearing a false beard, a
small jar in the form of a squat
ting man, and fragments of pot
terry model of a two-horsed war
chariot, representing the horses, the
pole, and the yokeS.
Recalls Biblical Passage
Discovery of the chariot model
recalls the Biblical message in the
sixteenth verse of the seventeenth
chapter of joshua" Rowe states,
"in which it is written, And the
Children of Joseph said, The hill
is not enough for us; and all the
Canaanites that dwell in the land
Of the valley have chariotS of iron,
both they who are of Beth-Shean
and her towns, and they who are
of the valley of Jezreel.'"
In the courtyard of the residence
was discovered an enormous cylin-
der-shaped silo built of bricks,
which has a present content Of
9,270 modern gallons.
A temple dating back to Thotmes
III, who reigned about 1900 B. c.,
has been excavated, revealing the
plans of the structure, and also a
great circular fireplace which must
have been used for roasting the sac
rificial animals, and a Canaanite
we'll, associated with the temple and
pronounced the oldest well of it's
kind discovered in Palestine.
