BY PEOPLE OF ITALY
Wilson's Course Looked Upon
By Italians as Unfriendly
And Arbitrary.
KING LAUDS DELEGATES
In a Pergonal Telegram to Premier
Kmmanuol Uikos Diplomats to
Make Xo Concessions In the'
Territorial Dispute.
(By Associated Press.) '
PARIS, April 24. Peace council
diplomats and official Paris were
figuratively thrown on "their beam
ends" today, when it became known
that the Italian government was un
aiinou8 in endorsement of Premier
Orlando's position in holding firm in
demands for territorial concessions
on the Adriatic coast. Captain Poz
zi, of Premier Orlando's staff, stated
authoritatively that Italian military
forces would immediately occupy that
portion of Dalmutia and other Adri
atic coast territory named in the Lon
don treaty. Hundred thousand men
will be sent taere, while a like num
ber of troops will occupy Fiume and
vicinity. Orlando issued a statement
late yesterday replying to President
Wilson's ultimatum positively refus
ing to concede that Italy had any
right in Fiume. explaining to the
diplomats and the public that Italian
representatives -.were compelled to
withdraw from the council following
Wilson's arbiitrary action, 'which is
viewed as unTriendly to Italy's in
terests. That the Italian government
is solidly back of Its delegates In the
peace conference, is indicated by the
fact that King Vict. t Emmanuel, tele
graphed to Orlando personally com
mending the courageous stand taken
hy his premier, and insisting that he
in no degree recede from the position
taken regarding the Adriatic situa
tion. The telegram stated that if the
break became definite Uiat Italy
would attempt l"o make separate
peace with Germany.
After a. conference with Lloyd
George today, it was announced that
Premier Orlando and the Italian de
legation would leave for Rome to
night. Later information stated, that the
delegation would not leave Paris to
day. ;
ITALIAN'S ANGRY.
- PARIS, April' 24 Reuters news
service, limited, learns that the Ital
ian government is taking every meas
ure for protection of the American
embassy at Rome and consulates in
other Italian cities, in event of pub
lic demonstrations denouncing Wil
son's action take place. Owing to the
temper of the people the government
Is believed to fear violence may be
offered.
ORLANDO CHEERED.
ROME, April 24. Imposing de
monstrations took place In Rome to
day in which Premier Orlando was
cheered by thousands upon thousands
of people who paraded the streets.
Frenzied citizens in untold numbers
acclaimed that Flume and Dalmatia
should be held by Italy and the gov
ernment's course was enthusiastically
endorsed.
CONSULTE WITH WILSON.
PARIS, April 24. Peace corner
once affairs and terms to be imposed
upon Germany were sidetracked to
day by delegates, and the league of
nations stock fell to aoout a oeiow
zero with the withdrawal of Orlando
and Sonnino from the council. The
French and British diplomats entered
Jnto consultation with Wilson In an
effort to patch up the diffff lenity, and
will make another attempt to draw
from the Itatlian delegates a further
declaration as to the situation. While
the situation is admitted to be very
grave, hope is still entertained that
a way may be found to determine the
controversy in a manner satisfactory
to all parties.
POLICY BRINGS TROUBLE.
WASHINGTON, April 24. Presi
dent Wilson's ettitude toward Italy
is endorsed by Seuator Johnson, of
California, who expressed hope that
the president will persist In refusal
to recognize Italy's or Japan's secret
bargains. Senator Kenyon, Republi
can, of Iowa, also approved. Senator
Borah, of Idaho, republican, while
agreeing with the attitude toward
secret treaties, said that the situa
tion reveals what It means for this
country to meddle in the European
affairs, norah alleged that In four
months, through Wilson's misplaced
activities, we have secured the ill will
of the people of Japan and Italy, the
suspicion oi cmna ana severe criti
cism of France.
WILSON RETURN DELAYED.
WASHINGTON, April 24. OfB-
clals here believe that the president's
return to America will be delayeu by
upsetting of the planB by Italy's ac
tion. It Is also believed that Italy
will eventually be obliged to recede
from her demands, owing to the fact
that the country is almost entirely
dependent upon the United States for
credit, food and fuel.
FKAR OF RIOTS.
PARIS, April 24.Y. M. C. A. of
flncials are seriously considering the
matter of ordering all American Y.
workers out of Italy to prevent them
becoming Involved In anti-American
demonstrations. There are about 200
American Y. M. C. A. V workers with
the Italian army. ' ' -

LIBRARY IS APPROVED
Unanimously Voted to Establish Tax

Needed Institution. Check
Oi-dcrcd Placed in Fund.
At a call meeting of the city coun-'
cil last night, a very heated discus
sion took place in regard to the at
tempt of the Wacer and Light Com
pany to force a higher rate upon the
city by a new contract and refusal
to sign the old agreement. During
the evening 1b was brought out that
if any attempt is made on the part
of the corporation to increase its lo
cal rates, that the city council will
act for the populace and will attempt
to1 force a reduction. An application
for a hearing for an increase in rates
has already been requested of. the
Public Service Commission- by the
Water and Light Company and It is
their plan to present reasons for a
decided ralse in local charges. This
hearing will be atended by represent
atives of the city and every effort
will be made to defeat a ralse and if
possible to lower existing rates. The
city recorder was Instructed to write
the manager of the company and
notify him that the city expects the
corporation to renew the old contract.
The recorder was also instructed to
write to other cities and obtain in
formation in regard to rates, amount
of investment, Sinking fund and etc.
The city is preparing for a fight,
which, it Is stated, by one of the
councjlmen, . will probably end In a
municipal establishment.
The ordinance, establishing a tax
of 8-10 mill for the support of a
public library, was passed unanim
ously upon its third reading. The
councitmen all look upon the public
library as a vital necessity to the
community and are willing to pledge
the city to Its support.
The ordinance prohibiting the
staking of cattle on the streets of the
city was laid on the table for further
consideration, and will probnhly be
slightly amended and adopted at a
later meeting.
Berger, the Junk man, submitted
an offer of $25 for the Junk accumul
ated by the city during the clean-up
and his proposition was accepted, and
the money ordered turned over to the
library fund. '.
During the past few years the city

WILL PUBLISH
PEACE TREATY
Covenant Will Be . Given to
American Public Before
Signed by Germans.
IS A LENGTHY AFFAIR
Complete Text Will Contain Nearly
One Hundroil Tliousand Words
Which Will bo Required at Least
4 Hours t Transmit via Cable.
PARIS, April 24. (By Tho Asso
ciated Press.) The counci. of four
of the peace conference In the inter
val before the peace treaty Is handed
to' tile German delegates, will take up
the question of making the document
'julillc. Ray Stanard Bukor, repres
)nting the American .delegation, In
igreement with the press advisers of
'.he delegations of other countries,
!ias recommended to the council the
publication of the treaty immediately
ifter Its delivery to the Germans.
Othorwlse, it is pointed out, the first
version of the important provisions
of the treaty would be issued by the
Germans and might be loaded up
with German propaganda.
The plan proposed on behalf of the
United Stntos is for the American de
legates to cable for simultaneous
distribution on the American contin
ent, first a 260 word official sum
mary of the treaty; second, a 5000
word official summary and third, the
text of the treaty. The two sum
maries would be given to tho Ameri
can press nt about the same time
and tho treaty a day or two lotor,
the text possibly to be distributed by
Installments, as ft was received.
The text of the covenant of the
league of nations has already been
cabled to the stato department at
Washington for release when author
ized by President Wilson. Other
parts of the treaty are likely to be
cabled during tho present week. Tho
final dispatch, which may count up
to nearly 100,000 words, can bo
cabled In four or five hours if all the
cable lines are cleared for tho pur
pose. The capacity for tho cables is
000,000 words a dny and tho asso
ciated governments could order tho
text of tho penco t.oaty given first
official priority, so that the enormous
task of trasmlsslon could be ac
complished with less delay than a
press message ordlnnrily sustains.
On the dny tho peace treaty Is sign
ed the American correspondents will
hnve their telephones In tho Louis
XIV. bathroom In the Versailles pal
ace. The entrance will bo by a secret
door not 20 yardB from thb pence
