Leaders Agree to Vote on
Navy Cruiser Bill
First.
BY PAUL R. MALLON


WASHINGTON, Dec. 10. - A
cloakroom truce was negotiated to-
day by senate leaders to end the
deadlock over the Kellogg anti-war
treaty and the naval cruiser build
ing bill which have been struggling
for precedence on the senate cal
endar.
The truce provides that the naval
bill shall be taken up as soon as
pending matters are disposed of on
the senate floor and that consider
alton of the treaty will go over until
after the holidays.
Chairman Borsh of the foreign
relations committee in charge of
the treaty's fortune assented to the
agreement when he became con-
fident, he said, there was nothing
to be gained by taking the treaty
up now."
Borah said neither the treaty nor
the naval bill could be passed before
congress adjourns Saturday for the
holidays. He indicated, however, he
did not intend to let the naval bill
pass and permit the treaty to be in
definitely postponed.
His announcement came after he
had submitted the favorable report
voted by his committee on the treaty,
for the executive calendar of the
senate.
A further consideration which
persuaded Borah to enter the truce
was a secret poll of the senate that

Dead Son Returns

By United Press
MILWAUKEE, Wis, Dec. ia
1V1 middle-aged man was trying
today to re-establish himself in the
hearts of a family who had lived for
twenty years in the belief that he
was dead.
Fred Lederer was reported to
have drowned while swimming at
Chippewa Falls in 1908. The body
was recovered and buried.
Today the Lederer family, includ-
ing the 80-year-old mother, were
questioning a stranger here who
says he is the youth who had been
supposed drowned. He told the
Lederer family that the accident at
the river had taken the life of an
Indian who was swimming with him.
In boyish fear he said he believed
he would be blamed for the death
of his Indian companion and so ran
away. He wandered over most of
the country, he said, before daring
to return to his family.
The family admitted at first sight
that there was striking resemblance,
but there will be close questioning
before the "son" is accepted into the
household. 1t has been suggested
that he may be an imposter trying
to obtain a portion of Mrs. Leder'S
S100 900 fortune.

Impeachment NOW Appears
to Be Inevitable for
Henry S. Johnston.
COALITION IS FORMED
IrreCOnCiIabIe Democrats
Join G. o. P. Minority
in Legislature.
BY GAYLORD p. GOODWIN,
United Press Staff Correspondent


OKLAHOMA CITY, Dec. 19.-
The impeachment of another Okla
homa Governor appeared inevitable
today.
The downfall of the Henry S.
Johnston administration before the
onslaught of the twelfth legislature
seemed certain when nine Demo-
Gratis, irreconcilable to the admin
istration; agreed to join with the
Republican minority and by over
riding the will of the slender Demo-
cratic majority, name the commit
tee that will investigate the gov
ernorS office and all state depart
ments.
Forty-seven Republicans are
pledged to vote as unit in inves-
tigation and impeachment.
The addition of nine Democrats,
therefore, will insure the naming
of a committee of inquiry that will
be strongly anti-administration i'll
sympathy.
A Republican caucus voted TO
back a change in the house rules
by taking from the speaker of the
house the power to designate mem
bership of committees and giving
that power to a committee on
committees selected by the house
The democrats, without the nine

will be outnumbered by a vote of

Spoiled!
Cunning SherIockS
ThWart Master Crime
of Office Boy.

BIZ United Press
CHICAGO, Dec. 19.-Sherlock
~ Holmes and Craig Kennedy al
ways got their man but Robert
Eveler, 18, an office boy whose par
entS live in Washington, D. c., didn't
think Chicago detectives we're as
shrewd.
After two weeks of studying the
weak points of Holmes and Ken
nedy's victims, Robert started a
blackmailing scheme which he
thought would be the perfect
crime"
But, like the crooks of fiction, he
overlooked a detail or two, and to-
day was waiting for his parents to
do something about his beng in jail.
Robert typed a letter to Benjamin
Ritholz, president of the firm for
which he worked, demanding $4,000,
under penalty of exposing some
vague scandals in Ritholz' past The
letter said to entruSt the money to
his faithful Office boy, Robert Eve
Ter. who would see that it was de-
1vered.
Ritholz, never having heard of
Robert and recalling no past scan
dals, consigned the letter to the
waste basket. Robert sat all day in
the outer Office waiting for a sum-
mons to the presidents office that
never came.
He wrote another letter, boosting
the price to $500 and making even
more dire threats.
After several days came the long
looked for invitation. Ritholz called
the youth. Would Robert take this
package Of $4,000 in bills to the
union station and deliver it to the
extortionists? Robert would, and
went to the station.
After loafing around the lobby a
few minutes, smiling to himself
about the stupidity of the local po-
lice, Robert retired to an alley to
count his newly acquired fortune.
The package was filled with wrap
ping paper, cut to currency size.
At the same time Captain William
Shoemaker and Sergeant Robert
Bennett appeared and in lieu of
Sherlock Holmes and Craig Ken
nedy arrested Robert.

O. K. to Smoke on Cars
,THERE is no city ORDINANCE pro

THERE is no city ordinance pro-
j. hibiting smoking in a street car.
Police found that out today, but
only after Robert Miston, 81, of 1888
North Capitol avenue, arrested on
that charge and spent an, hour in
city prison.
Miston was arrested at Market
and Illinois streets this morning on
complaint of F. w. Hessler, who
gave his address as the PettiS Dry
Goods Company.
He lighted cigaret while he was
on the back platform as he was
about to leave the car at that
corner, Miston admitted.
Hessler, standing near, according
to Miston, ordered him:
BLOW that smoke straight up,
don't blow it ahead"
An argument followed and Hess
Ter called Ray GiSh, traffic officer,
and demanded the youths arrest.
William A. Boyce Jr, city clerk,
and Herbert Spencer, deputy prose-
cutor, we're informed of the arrest
and began a search of law books,
but could find no ordinance cover
ing the case.
Miston was released.
