FIGHT CROWS
MORE BITTER

WASHINGTON, Jan. %. U.P)-
The bitter World Court fight neared
a climax today as the senate pre-
pared to vote again on the 10-year-
cid issue, probably tomorrow.

virtually showed under by deluge

Outstanding among those who
entered the laSt-minute debate
were Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt,
speaking in favor of adherence, and
Father Charles E. Coughlin, Detroit
radio priest, World Court oppon-
ent.
Administration leaders believed
their lines would hold fast in the
final test and that American en-
trance into the court would be fin
ally voted by the necessary two
thirds majority.
Opponents, led by the veteran
court antagonist, Sen. Hiram John
son (Rep) California, were making
stubborn fight. Johnson planned
to open the last stage of the de-
bate with a vigorous speech today.
The Coughlin-Mrs. Roosevelt de-
bate added fresh interest to the
controversy. Coughlin warned con-
gress not to "tie the Gordian knot
of the World Court around the neck
of America IS people. - He called
On his listeners to telegraph their
senators of their opposition to the

A few hours after he had spoken,

to the court. She, too, urged her
audience to express its sentiment to
the senate.

till the President IS birthday.
This year someone has conceiv-
ed a fine idea to keep the fine
cause going, and also allow every
community to be able to do
something for its very own in
the home town. Seventy per
cent of all funds raised stays
right among the ones that raised
it. There is SO much gaiety, SO
much dancing and fun going on
that it's a fine tribue to try and
raise all they can to help this
marvellous cause. Any illness is
terrible, but there is something
about this particular affliction
that makes you just a little more
sympathetic. To do all in his
power to help the victims of in

be a dissenting vote.

Capitalization of power in the state,

resolution that if the state takes
over the assessment of the taxes,
the assessors favor the return of the
tax proceeds to the respective coun-
ties. This tax is at present COL
lected by the counties and used by
them, each school district getting
its pro-rata share. West states
that the assessors declared the
present handling of the tax was
most satisfactory.
Proposed legislation was discussed

REPORT
Of ATTACK ON
FORMERKA|SER

DOORN, Holland, Jan. %. U.H-
A report, published in London, that
a chef in the establishment of for
mer Kaiser Wilhelm of Germany
made an attempt on his life, was
denied today as guests of the Kali
ser dispersed after a celebration of
his 10th birthday. r.-.s
The report was from the Doom
correspondent of the London Daily
Mail. Cautiously worded, it said that
some quarters" asserted the chef
made an attempt on Wilhelm's life,
apparently at least 10 days ago. The
rurnors, the correspondent said.
were due to an alleged statement
by Princess Hermine, the former
Kaiser's wife, that the chef ought
to be liable to capital punishment.
According co The Official version.
the Daily Mail correspondent said,
the chef showed signs of disease,
probably contracted in the trenches
in the war, and was sent to an in
stitution in Germany.
n VI OlAS lilCl rAdlSCl
household emphatically denied to
the United Press that there was
any truth in the Daily Mail report.
A chef did leave the household 10
days ago, the spokesman said, on
account of illness, but that was all.
Wilhelm's birthday was the occa-
sion of perhaps the largest gac.ier-
ing of Hohenzollerns since he went
into exile in 1918.
Former Crown Prince Wilhelm,
his wife and four children, Prince
Eitel Friedrich, Prince Oscar and the
former Duchess of Brunswick, Will
helms children by his first wife,
were present.
Wilhelm wore a uniform. He ate
Sparingly and drank little.
Wilhelm's birthday celebration
began last Thursday, when he and
Princess Hermine received 10 needy
villagers and handed them gifts of
food, clothing, wine and wood which
the former Kaiser had chopped. AT
76, he still saws and chops wood for
two hours each day for exercise.

o'clock this morning of injuries re-

According to the report of the
state traffic patrolman who inves-
tigated the accident Morris was
coming from Brawley to Imperial.
AT 9:45 o'clock he had reached a
point half mile north of the 10l

cording to the report, was attempt
ing to overtake another car direct

over to the left to pass tnis car when
he met truck coming towards
Brawley. There was no room to pass
between the two vehicles and no
time to drop back into his former
position and the car he was driving
was sideswiped by the truck.
The report states that Morris car
was almost completely demolished
