Senator Spencer, republican, Mis
souri, said he thought the senate ought
to approach the leafrue covenant with
a "sympathetic. Interest." but. he said,
no doubt should be left as to the ap
plication of the Monroe doctrine, the
determination of purely domestic ques
tions, the right of withdrawal or the
final authority of congress to deter
mine in future when war should be
declared.
IRISH QUESTION INJECTED
Sexploitation of European Resources
at Expense of United Slates
Charged In Address.
WASHINGTON. June 30. The league
of nations covenant and the influences
at work to secure its acceptance by the
United States furnished the vehicle to
dir for another long debate In the
senate.
Renewing his charge that interna
tional bankers are sponsoring the
leaaue for selfish purposes. Senator
Borah, republican of .Idaho, charged
that Thomas W. Uraont, a partner In
the Morgan banking house, hal pur
chased the New York Evening Post as
tiiirt of a nrooacanda to force senate
acceptance of the covenant. He charged
the league to enforce peace, headed by
former President Taft, also was con
trolled by the bankers.
Senator Hitchcock, democrat of Ne
braska, defending Mr. Taft and his or
ganisation, replied that not only busi
ness men, but organised labor, the
churches, the farmers and the people
generally were demanding: ratification
of the covenant.
Dcaaaerata Rally to Defease.
Every test of popular opinion that
had been taken anywhere, he said, had
shown an overwhelming sentiment for
the league.
The league covenant was defended
also by Senator Gerry, democrat of
KboUe Island, in a speech declaring it
the only hope of Europe during re
construction, and was attacked by Sen
ator Fall, republican, of New Mexico,
who declared he could not vote for Its
ratification without violating his oath
as a senator.
Many others were drawn into the de
bate, which occupied virtually the en
tire day's session.
An argument over Ireland's place In
the league was started by a statement
by Senator Borah that article 10 of the
covenant would enable Great Britain to
call on other nations to help crush any
movement for Irish freedom. The as
sertion was denied by Senators -Walsh,
ili-mocrat, of Montana, and Phelan.
democrat, of California, who declared
article 10 applied only to external ag
gression. Uaot Pabllratkta Quoted.
Senator Poindexter. republican, Wash
ington, suggested that if any outside
nation aided an Irish revolution.
France aided the colonies In 1776. th
act could be construed as external ag
gresslon and all the other league mem
bers called on to help subjugate Ire
land.
Senator Borah declared there was no
consolation In the fact that decision
of the council and assembly must be by
unanimous vote to be binding.
"They had to have a unanimous vote,
he continued. to put the chains of
slavery on 40.000.000 Chinese in Shan
tung. and they got it with the presi
ident of the lnlted States one of those
voting. It'll be no trouble to get
unanimous vote when you're sitting
. behind closed doors at Geneva.
Senator Hitchock declared that, of
course, any representative chosen t
Geneva by the United States "would
be subject to the restriction of con
stress.
"The man who represents us at Ge
neva is unknown to congress and to
the constitution." replied the Idaho Sen
ator. "The constitution now here pro
vides for such representation and the
president could appoint Colonel House
and congress would have nothing to say
about it.
Senator Borah declared that before
the debate on the league closed, he
would show that big financial interests
were in conclave to exploit the natural
resources of Europe and have the
United States underwrite the invest
ment.
"The mask of hypocrisy will be torn
off," he said, "even the sacred name
of an ex-president cannot be used to
protect the men who propose to sell
out this country.
The Idaho senator read from a publi
cation or the league to enforce peace,
a statement that three-fourths of the
contributions to that organization came
from business men and said that while
the name of Kuhn, Loeb & company
was not among the concerns mentioned,
he had evidence that it should have
been there.
SENATOR ASSAILS TREATY
(Declaration of Independence Scrap,
Xcw Mexican Loader.
WASHINGTON, D. C, June 30. By
ratifying the treaty and league- of na
tions covenant, said Senator Fall, re
publican. New Mexico, '"We make a
scrap of paper of Declaration --of In
dependence and brand Its signers as
falsifiers. The adoption of the treaty
with or without the covenant marks an
entire reversal of the policy of this I
country in foreign affairs, to say
nothing of its limitations upon our mu
nicipal law.
"The president. he said, "holds no
commission from the people entitling
him to form or Join in creating or form
ing any other government. Attempt to
ratify such act by the senate would, in
my Judgment, be a violation of the-sen-atorial
sworn duty."
The league of nations was defended
by Senator Gerry, democrat, of Rhode
Island. Mr Gerry, who recently returned
from a tour of European countries, said
the featy represented the appeal of
the millions of Europe for American
co-operation in bringing a new day of
peace.

BRITISH PRESS IS OPTIMISTIC
Hltrheek Defease League.
Reading a letter which he said had
been sent to agents of the league urg
ing that telegrams and representatives
be sent to ashington to aid in in
fluencing senatorial opinion, the
senator said:
"Vet these people are determined
that there shall be no popular vote
upon this proposition while they or
ganixe for the purpose of having cer
tain influential gentlemen corns' here
to confer with senators and create
false impression."
Senator Hitchcock, democrat. Ne
braska, interrupted to say that the
average subscriptions received by the
league to enfore peace, had been $53
and that it mas composed of 6675 mem
bers, lie read a statement which he
said the league had prepared in an
ticipation of an attack against it in
he senate. This statement said tile
largest subscription was 1-15.000 and
the next $50v0. while only l:tit subscrip
tions were for 91000 or more.

Senator Borah, in reply, said of the
statement read by Senator Hitchcock
set forth that only two subscriptions
were for fauoo or more, the error evi
denlly was made intentionally by the
league as the bulletin prepared by it
and read by him undoubtedly was cor

Hope for Speedy Readjustment of
World Affairs Voiced.
LONDON, June 30. Relief, gratifica
tion and hope for a speedy readjust
ment of the world are voiced in the
editorials published by all morning
newspapers on the signing of the treaty
of peace.
President Wilson's telegram to Amer
ica." says the Chronicle, "struck the
right note regarding the treaty."
Several newspapers mingle . thanks
giving with warnings that there must
be no relaxing of efforts to -make the
league of nations affective. The Daily
News mentions apprehension regarding
Japan and the far east, and denounces
elements "on both sides of the Atlan
tic" who, the paper asserts, "are try
ing to stir up discord between Eng
land and America.
The Telegraph does not appear to
fear anything In this direction, saying:
"We made this peace in a co-operation
and friendship with the American
people such as has never hitherto been
approached."
TtRKS IXVITED TO GO HOME
Presence of Ottoman Envoys in Paris

PARIS. June 29. The Turkish dele
gation which now is in Paris has been
sent by the council of four a note ad
vising it that nothing would be gained
by its longer stay in Paris at the
present time, as ths questions which
the Turks have raised touch interna
tional questions that cannot be decided
upon speedily.
The council in the note advises the
Turkish representatives that the Otto
man government will be informed in
due course when the time has arrived
for an exchange of Ideas which will
be likely to prove profitable.
GEORGE J. GOULD OUSTED
FINANCIER NO LONGER TRUSTEE
OF FATHER'S ESTATE.
Failure to Divide Property Accord
ing to Will and Misappropria
tion of Funds Alleged.
NEW YORK. June 30. George J.
Gould was removed by Supreme Court
Justice Whitaker late today as execu
tor and trustee of the estate of the late
Jay Gould, his father. The court based
its action upon the motion made by
Frank Jay Gould, a brother of George.
The charges on which Justice VV hit-
aker based his decision were:
"The failure of the trustees, with
George J. Gould as the dominating
character, to divide the estate into six
separate trusts as directed in Jay
Gould's will.
"The acceptance of a commission on
the sale of 200,028 shares of the
estate's Western Union Telegraph
company stock, said commission
amounting to $620,401.71 and his reten
tion thereof, without the knewledge of
other heirs, for a period of eight years.
The mingling of trust funds with
George J. Gould's own funds and the
use thereof, by him, as if they were his
own individual property."

OREGON CITY. Or., June 30. (Spe
cial.) Duncan McNichols, a well-known
resident of this county, was shot and
instantly killed some time Sunday night
or early Monday morning1 at his home
on the 82d street road at the intersec
tion of Sunnyslde street. No clue to
the murders has been found.
McNichols was 60 years old, and had
lived here for the past 30 years. He had
a small place of eight acres of his own
and cultivated & 100-acre tract nearby,
He was a cattle dealer, and was known
to carry large amounts of money most
of the time. If robbery was the motive
for the murder, the perpetrator over
looked $59, which the coroner found
in his clothes.
McNichols was last eeen Sunday
night about 7 o'clock, and evidently
after this he took a lantern to the barn
and milked, for when the coroner ar
rived at the place this lantern and
lamp were still burning.
Arthur Berner, a neighbor of Mc
Nichols, discovered the body Monday
morning when he called at the man's
home. The body was found just inside
the front door, and a .38 caliber bullet
had pierced the forehead just above the
right eye, coming out at the rear of the
head.
As far as Is known McNichols had no
relatives in this country. He was
native of Scotland. An inquest will be
held Tuesday by Coroner Johnson.

WASHINGTON, D. C, June SO. Con
gress failed today in its aim to enact
the remaining appropriation bills be
fore adjournment and to recess until
Monday.
It is expected house opposition to
the conference agreement on the $766,
000,000 army appropriation bill and oh
struction by house democrats to other
measures forced adjournment of both
the senate and house until tomorrow
after the senate had listened most of
the day to debate on the league of
nations.
With all the appropriation measures
needed July 1 to provide funds for
many government agencies beginning
the new fiscal year, leaders hoped to
clear up all of the bills tomorrow and
then adjourn until July 7. when Presi
dent Wilson is expected to arrive with
the German peace treaty.
Of the five money bills left over
the naval appropriation measure car
rying $616,000,000 and providing a
naval personal of 170,000 men, was the

conferees previously had agreed to
compromise the senate's 65,000,000 ap
propriation for that purpose at $40,
000,000. The senate planned a night session to
carry through the supply bills, but the
handful of senators who returned at 8
o'clock agreed to adjournment upon
learning of the blockade in the house,
where democratic objection to consid
eration of the sundry civil and the
District of Columbia conference reports
forced postponement of final action
until tomorrow.
Two important bills, the $26,000,000
agricultural appropriation measure,
carrying the rider repealing the day
light saving law October 26 and that
ending government control of wires.
expected to be effective July SI, were
sent late today to the White House.
Reductions of appropriations aggre
gating $200,000,000 were made today in
the sundry civil bill by senate and house
conferees. The principal cut was In

compared with $491,000,000 proposed by
the senate, and $276,000,000 by the
house.
The conference agreement on the
measure, subject to ratification by
both branches of congress, carried less
than $600,000,000, compared with more
than $775,000,000 voted by the senate
and $485,000,000 by the house.
War Insurance Fund Large.
For family allowances and compen
