Washington, July l8.-(R-The

as the constitution provides" and
that MI. Stimson had taken an atti-
tude Of "superciliousness much more
befitting to Tanmore (his London
residence) than to Woodley CHS
Washington home)."
. "Thus." he said being denied the

be In our possession and being under

tempt to force the senate to do the
executive bidding, and being har-
assed by long hours in the heat Of an
intolerable Washington. I am seek

resistance to forcible feeding In the

Saying the "pitiful thing about this
treaty Is that 50 few people know
anything about It ana that SO many
people care nothing about" Senator
Moses insisted 1t was the United
States which made all the material
concessions" at London.
Says British Rule
"As q consequence" he added, I'VE
now find ourselves 50 limited In our

Members Of the opposition insisted
no filibuster would be attempted.
Senator Watson, the Republican
leader, already has called their tao
tics time killing" There were some
predictions the debate might end
sooner than expected as a result Of
today's developments.
Some even believed a vote on the
pact might be reached late tonight
or tomorrow, although treaty advo-
Gates have only asked that limitation
Of debate be started next Tuesday.
Senator Watson privately notified
the opposition the senate would meet
tonight. He indicated the session
would be carried on until 1880 or II

E L o s NOTORIOUS
SLAYER OF CENTURY

LaPOfte, Ind, july 18.@PeBelle
Guinness, reported found after "a
years In Mississippi, has been called
by the law and the press the most no
torious murderesx Of the century.
Various Porter county prosecutors
have charged her with . mania for
murder. Their investigators said she
lured men to her farm by promises Of
marriage and then killed them.
In 1905, authorities digging on her
farm found q private cemetery" IN
which the bodies o. bones Of Is per-
sons were folnd-all alleged by the
Investigators to be Belle Guinness
victims.
The investigation showed the wom-
IN had inserted Z matrimonial Ad-
vertisement In Scandinavian news
papers and the authorities believe the
men who are said to have been killed
were al Scandfnaviaus. One BY one,
they said, the men came to the Gun
raess farm, just outside Laporte. and
were seen no, more.
Three Of the bodies were identified.
One was OF Z. J. Taeflaud, Minneap-
oils; another was Carl Fttturn, MIN
neapolis; and . third was Oscar
Budsbers Of lola. Wis.
When the home on the murder
farm" burned down, the bodies OF
Mrs. Guinness thre children were
found In the ruins. There was evt-
dnce, too, indicating that Belle Gun
ness herself had been killed Ia the
flames. But the evidence was not
sufficient to discourage the world
wide hunt for the woman.

ton Of wheat acreage to the 1915
level, which means only enough to
meet domestic demands, is the only
thing that will save the grain farmer,
Alexander Legge, chairman Of the
federal farm board, told North d.
kotans at the state fair grounds here
yesterday.
Chairman Legge brought his acre
age-curtailment campaign into the

who welcomed him to North Dakota,
for his 100 per cent cooperation" and
North Dakota farmers for the reduce
ton work they already had done.
After giving q portion Of his pre-
pared talk. Legge departed widely
from his text and devoted consider
able time to q discussion Of the wheat
situation, stressing the dwindling for
eign market, the lessening Of home
consumption and the need to face
this condition squarely with q pro-
gram that would reduce acreage In
the country a. q whole by IS per
cent.
In opening his address, he declared
he was pleased to speak to such .
friendly audience"
Il say friendly, advisedly," he said.
North Dakota always has been
friendly to the farm board and its
program. We have had 100 per cent
cooperation. both from the governor
and the people Of this state"
legge reminded the farmers CO.
operatives that competition and con-
troyersy among cuopeTattves only
serve to create doubt n NE minds d
farmers ana to strengthen thu hand
Of those who are trying to block the
program intended to put agricultural
producers In control Of their own In
