RUSH LAi POINT TO DODGE LEAGUE BY ROBERT BENDER (United Press Staff Correspondent.) (Copyright by the United Press) PARIS, Jan. American parti i cipatton in the peace settlement may depend on the decision regarding the f disposition of German colonies. It Is intimated today. President Wilson j believes the league of nations the opted Saturday will be given a death blow if the allien Insist on dividinar like so much loot. The league of nations is one or principal ideas for which tho United States entered the war. Some of the allIes appear to favor carryinir out ine 'woria oia custom 01 aivision 01 the spoils," before the league of na tions begins to function which may account for the unexpected pressure for consideration of territorial prob lems at this time. league First, Baffles Opponents. But the president wants to have the league effective first so It can take t,.,ntroi of lust fruch Questions .as in ternationalization of Germany's cap tured islands and colonies. He would begin to make the league effective. by placing these disputed possessions un der its administration. The problem thus presented is the most serious Which has yet confronted the peace del eg tea. Wilson's firm attitude apparently has confused his opponents, forcing them to play for time in which to de termine thelncourse of action. MUST HtlUlY LEGISliATIOX.

POLICE QUESTION UP AT NEXT MEETING Several Suggested for Suc cessor, Estes urged 1 Roberts. The council last night by a vota of four to three decided "against the re appointing of Al Roberts aa chief of police. , Failing to agree upon a suc cessor the matter was laid over until the next -meeting, and Roberts con tinues in the office until his successor is elected and qualifies. Lieutenant Alger Fee was renamed city attorney, ' Judge FitzGerald as recorder, Dr. H. J. Cavanaugh as city physician' and John Heathman, street commissioner. Roberts was nominated for thA place by J. H. Estes, .chairman of -the police committee. The nomination was seconded by Joseph 11. The po lice committee was unanimous In his support, while the rest of the council was just as strong against him. Those voting for Roberts were: Estes, Ell and Friedly; against, Penland. King. McMonlea and Taylor. Folsom was absent. In recommending the appointing of Roberts, Councilman Estes said that In his former experience as an officer and also recently on the other end as chairman of the police committee he is of the opinion the best man avail able for the place at this time Is Al Roberts. He said he did not think It possible for a man to fill the place and not make enemies. Councilman King stated he could not vote for Roberts, and that his el-' ection would be the cause of . great dissatisfaction. That there would b strong opposition to him for the of fice; that this opposition would come strongly from the churches and from the W. C. T. U. The other councilman speaking in opposition to Roberts was Penland. ' who led a movement during the fall in an attempt to remove him from the office, stated that he iB opposed to Roberts on the standpoint that he is . not qualified for the office, not doing his duty and failing to come up to the requirements of chief of police. Following the vote. Councilman King brought up the name of Tom Gurdane, former chief in the admin istrations of Fee. Murphy and Best. Mention of the name of Gurdane brought forth the ire of Councilman Taylor and his name did not go to a vote. Following this Penland suggested the police committee get together and recommend another name. Chairman Estes did not think it hardly fair to ask the - committee to name another man after so completely sitting on the . recommendation of Roberts. . :; r - . , Vp to the point of naming chief of 3 injiice the business of the meeting pro-;f reeded without a ripple.
