Of welcomers outside the Prague rail-
road station. He declared the prin-
ciples of a new Czechoslovakian politi-
cal party. He hired some halls. He
harangued some audiences. He sum-
moned his supporters to the polling
places. He was voted for. He was
elected. In two weeks from his arrival
at the railroad station he was a mem
Der of the Czechoslovakian Chamber Of
Deputies.
"And what is the name of your new
party?" inquired this writer.
''The National League" replied Mr..
Pergler.
"And your principles?" this writer
pursued.
THE correction Of Mr.. Benes' err
fors," replied Mr. Pergler, land the cor
rection of the Czechoslovakian electoral
system. Our new party will endeavor
to give to Czechoslovakian voters some
| Of the privileges and opportunities of
American voters. In Czechoslovakia
the voter cannot scratch the ticket.
He cannot criss-crosS on the ballot from
one party to another, He decides only
between rival lists Of candidates named
by the party arrangements. He must
vote for the whole of one list or for
the whole of another list. He cannot
choose between individuals He chooses
only between parties. Moreover, after
he has elected set of party candidates
to the Chamber of Deputies, the party
management, by expelling any given
| successful candidate from party mem
bership. can in practice deprive him of
his seat in the Chamber. That is a
| government not by the people but by
parties. Our new party is determined
| to try to democratize the political basis
of Czechoslovakian governmental life,
and we have no doubt of our ultimate
success"
Thus Czechoslovakia incurs the con-
sequences Of the principles of Cresco
Iowa.

GOLF COURSE ROW
 FLARES UP AGAIN
Park Board Refuses to Sign
 Contract for Construction
CLAIMS MORE MONEY DUE
Checks For Sl4,2OO Mailed By Chamber of Commerce Committee But Berg Claims Total Amount Should Be $14,7CO.

A new controversy developed to- day when the Chamber of Con- merce and the board of park com missioners clashed over the amount of money to be turned over to the city in connection with the building of a municipal golf course.
 At the meeting last Thursday when the Chamber of Commerce and the park board split over the resolution introduced by President Pardon c. Hickey of the Chamber of Commerce attempting to take control of the construction of the course cut of the hands of the park board, it was voted by the committee to turn over to the park board S14,70O. This was to include the sum of s14,20O, the bid of the w. H. Hall Co.,, contractors. an ad- ditional sS60 for the extension of a water main to the golf grounds and the balance to help defray the eX- 2, house which will be used as a clubhouse.
 A brief argument over the diff ference between the $14,200 and the remaining $500 ensued at that time but was settled when MT. Hickey announced that it was included in the motion, which finally was pass ed. Saturday Walter M. Bassford treasurer of the Chamber of Con- merce golf fund, sent three cheeks totalling S14,500 to the bank, which were credited to the account of the park department.
 In the absence of Chairman Will liam F. Mangan from the city other park commissioners today re- fused to sign the contract for the construction of the course, stating that they would not do so until the full amount of the money approved coming. Arthur E. Berg, clerk of the board, had a conference with MT Hickey today, but did not get the additional s200, it is said.
 Although stating that he still hoped to hear from MT. Hickey in regard to the remainder of the money, MT. Berg had no additional information when the bank closed this afternoon.
 That the Chamber has no inten- tion of paying the remaining $2Oo without fight was indicated by

MANY ARRESTS MADE IN SALT REBELLION
Gandhi Followers Held = British Take Strong
 Steps in Trouble

Bombay, India, April 14 (P) - Striking hard in defense of it's sov- creignty in India, the British gov ernment today took into custody leaders in the Indian nationalist 'civil disobedience' movement head ed by Mahatma Gandhi. Gandhi himself was not molested.
 Of importance, however, almost tantamount to arrest of Gandhi was order a few hours later for the in- carceration of Jawaharlal Nehru, president of the all-India national congress. Nehru was sentenced to prison for six months after having been convicted on a charge of vio- lation of the salt act last Friday
 He was arrested at Cheoki sta ton and temporarily detained in Naini provincial jail, both places near Allahabad.
 News of his arrest spread like wild fire throughout Bombay, and within a few minutes the common, bullion, seeds and share markets suspended business.
 Sixteen persons were arrested at Lucknow, United Provinces, for of- lenses against the salt laws. They included Mohanlal Saxena, chief executive officer of the national congress, and Initial Ahmed, presi- dent of the local congress commit tee, and several other congress off, cials.
 The correspondent of the London Daily Mail here cabled his paper that arrest of Gandhi was immi- nent, and that the government, alarmed at the rapid spread of his movement and the growing animosi- ty of Hindus toward the British, had determined to take a more vigorous action with reference to him.
 Gandhi himself was at Dandi for today and tomorrow. Today is his day of silence during which he

Johnson of the fourth ward are the active candidates with" Alderman William H. Judd of the third ward standing in the offing ready to ac- ccpt the position if a compromise candidate is desired.
 Alderman Nair and Johnson have canvasscd the council membership seeking support. Nair bases his claim for the position on the fact that he has filled the job on a previous occasion and has been the acting mayor at times. while John son is endeavoring to turn Nair's argument to his own advantage by asserting it is his turn to have the honor and because it has not previ- ously been accorded him it is his right and that of his constituents to have the office given to Q fourth warder.
 Both have served in the council for several years, and each has been the chairman of important committees.

American and English Sportsmen Adopt Lloyd's Construction Speci- fications for Yacht Classic Which Will Start September IS.

Bristol R. l., April 14 P)-Tha Enterprise, the first of four prospec- tive defenders of the Americas Cup to be completed, was launched here today shortly after a similar event had disturbed the other side of the Atlantic at Gosport, England where Sir Thomas Lipton's challenger th4 Shamrock V, slid down the ways.
 The Enterprise bore the name Of a famous little navy schooner, "'The Lucky Little Enterprise which helped bring the Barbary Pirates to terms a century ago. She was de- signed by w. Starling Burgess for a yachtsmen and built by Herreshoff
 She is smaller than the other three prospective defenders and slightly smaller than Sir Thomas Challenger. The Enterprise is oi bronze construction and the Sham rock of wood.
 Only one of the American yachts is of wood, the Whirlwind, now nearing completion at the Lawley yard in Boston. There, also Bos- tons contender the Yankee, is al most ready for launching. The fourth contender, the Weetamoe built for the Morgan-Nichols syndi- cate, is nearing completion in the building from which the Enterprise was launched today.

 The Enterprise and the other prospective defenders furnish a marked contrast to defenders of other years. They are sturdy, able vessels, little resembling the racing machines which turned back the doughy Irish sportsman on four previous invasions. The reason for this is the international racing rules agreed upon which calls for Lloyd s specifications in construction.

 Senator Capper reiterated that the senate would examine the treaty very closely and expressed the opin- ion that final action may not reas- onably be looked for until next win ter"
