LDWDEN FOR TREATY
IN REPLY TO BORAH
Pact, With Senate Reserva
tions, Advocated.
REALIZED IDEAL VISIONED
Covenant Not Altogether Wliat Gov
ernor Could Wish, but Ratifica
tion Held Advisable.
CHICAGO, Jan. 5. "While the
league of nations, even as modified
by the reservations adopted, does not
take the form which I believe It
should, namely. Judicial rather than
political, I think it is the part of
wisdom now to ratify It with such
reservations as have been adopted by
the senate," said Governor Lowden
In a letter today, replying to United
States Senator Borah of Idaho, who
had requested Governor Lowden's
position on the league of nations.
Governor Lowden's letter follows:
"When the armistice was signed I
felt that the time was opportune for
taking up the subject of better inter
national relations where the second
The Hague conference had left off.
It seemed to me that the world was
ready to adopt the high American
Ideals of international friendship
there expressed. A permanent arbitral
court to adjust all Justiciable differ
ences, a court of arbitration to which
the nations might, at their option,
submit vital differences, the ma
chinery for mediation and for com
missions of Inquiry as in all other
cases and a start toward modifica
tion of international law would be
welcomed, I thought, by all nations.
Chicago Speech Recalled.
"It was not so much a political
international structure I had in mind
as it was a Judicial structure. Later,
and on April 25, 1919, in a speech I
made before the sixth national foreign
trades convention at Chicago, among
other things I said:
" 'We want friends everywhere, but
we are not looking for partnership
with any other nation on the face of
the globe.
" "W'a want our flag going into
every port on terms of amity with
every nation on the earth, but na
tionalism and not internationalism
must still be our dominant note.
" 'America too has done more to
develop the idea of arbitration and
of close international relations than
any other country.
"'The Hague conference made great
progress and we would be recreant
to the cause of humanity if now we
failed to take advantage of this op
portunity to extend the work of those
conferences toward a more definite
international law and a better Inter
national understandng.
Realised Ideal Vlnloned.
""All our people have believed In
that ideal and we hope now that this
ideal is to be realized, but our peo
ple are not for transferring the
sovereignty of America from Wash
ington to any other place. We are
also going to cling to our Monroe
doctrine and we are going to keep our
flag floating above the dome of the
capitol."
'To a great many people in these
days there seems to be a new flag
coming out of the sky, a flag so re
mote that It hardly can be seen. To
me It seems the white flag of peace;
to others it seems the red flag of
carnage and anarchy. Whichever it
may be, it is not going to take the
place in America of that other flag,
that flag under which "we have made
all our progress toward the reaiiza
tion of our national ideals.'
"The league of nations, as submit
ted to the senate, seemed to me to be
subject to grave objections. These ob.
jections in the main, I think, have
been removed by the reservations
adopted by the senate. The instru
merit as so modified, as I understand
it, does not bind the United States to
participate in the 'racial and dynastic
battles of the old world.' nor "does it
Involve 'entangling alliances or part
nerships with foreign powers," nor
does it authorize 'interference by for
eign powers in American affairs.'
America Can Be Trusted.
"I do not believe 'the time has come
when we should abandon the policy of
no entangling alliances.- it may be
that America again will deem it her
duty to participate in some foreign
war as sue participated in the last
but I think she can be depended upon.
when that time does come, to decide
for herself, through constitutional
means, where her duty lies. Just as she
aid oeTore.
. "While the league of nations, even
as modified by the reservations adopt
ed, does not take the form which I be
lieved it should, namely, judicial rath
er than political, I think it is the part
oi wisdom now to ratify it with such
reservations. Our sovereignty is safe
guarded, the Monroe doctrine is se
cure, the constitutional powers of con
gress are not impaired and our right
of withdrawal has been made clear
and explicit.
"I do not see how permanent harm
can come from it. and I do see the
- possibility of great good. It at least
provides for a common meeting Dlace
at stated intervals for the nations of
the world which are parties to it. This
in Itself Is a decided gain. The mere
THOUSANDS HAVEKIONEY
TROUBLE AND NEVER
SUSPECT IT
Applicants for Insurance
Often Rejected.
Judging from reports from rin.o-
gists who are constantly in direct
touch with the public, there is one
preparation that has been very suc
cessful in overcoming these condi
tions, ine mna ana healing influence
of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root In nn
realized. It stands the highest for
its remarkable record of success.
An examining physician for one of
me prominent i,ire insurance Compa
nies, in an interview of the suhiont
made the astonishing statement that
one reason why so many applicants
for insurance are rejected is because
kidney trouble is so common to the
American people, and the large ma
jority of those whose applications are
declined do not even suspect that they
have the disease. Dr. Kilmer's Swamn-
Root is on sale at all drug store in
bottles of two sizes, medium and
large.
However, if yen wish first to test
this great preparation send ten cents
to Dr. Kilmer & Co., Blnghamton,
N. Y., for a sample bottle. When

fact that great nations meet from
time to time, in friendly council would
in itself cause any nation outside the
league which was meditating crime
against civilization to pause and re
flect upon the consequence. Then, too,
when nations or men sit at a common
table and discuss differences between
themselves those differences are like
ly to disappear.
Opportunity for United State Seen.
"For more than half a century the
United States has been the distinctive
champion of the plan of settling in
ternational differences without resort
to arms. She cannot afford now to
neglect any means which give any
promise, however slight, of preventing
future wars.
"In addition. If the treaty be rati
fied and America becomes a party to
the league of nations, she will have
an opportunity to so influence Its
activities and so help to modify its
forms that it may in time realize the
noble aspirations for world peace of
the great men who participated in
The Hague conferences.
"If it should fall to accomplish these
results or operate to the disadvantage
of America, the way Is clear by which
we can withdraw.
"I therefore hope that the treaty
may be ratified promptly with the
reservations, in substance, already
adopted by the senate."
INDIAN'S CLAIM UPHELD
UNIQUE FEDERAL CASE SET
TLED IX SAN FRANCISCO.
Judge Bean's Decision That 160
Acres of Land Belongs to Son of
Dead Woman Will Stand.
SAN FRANCISCO. Jan. 5. Decision
of the lower court in the case of T-Koot-Sa
and A-Llp-Ma, Indian women
who claimed title to 80 acres of land
in the Umatilla Indian reservation in
Oregon, which claims were contested
by James Peters, another Indian, was
upheld today by the United States
circuit court of appeals here. The
court refused to set aside the Judg
ment by which the land was awarded
to Peters.
Ta-M-A-Was original owner of the
property, died in Walla Walla in 1901.
Ya-Koot-Sa and A-Llp-Ma claimed
title as sisters, but Peters secured the
land on proof that he was a son by
a former marriage.
United States Attorney Bert Haney
and Assistant United States Attorney
Bamett Goldstein were attorneys for
Peters, a ward of the federal govern
ment. By the ruling handed down yester
day by the United States court of ap
peals at San Francisco, James Peters,
son of Pete Eah-teen, remains the
legal legatee of 160 acres of land val
ued at 116,000.
The case Is unique In federal court
procedure and the annals of the
Indian department, for in it two sis
ters, A-Lip-Ma and Ya-Koot-Sa, of the
L, matlllas. brought suit to declare
themselves the heirs of their dead
sister, Tam-a-was. to whose estate
the land belonged.
Tam-a-was was survived by her
husband and' stepson, Pete Eah-teen
and James Peters, but the husband
followed his squaw to the happy hunt
ing grounds within a brief period
after her death. The Indian depart-
ent held that he was heir to the
rich acres owned by Tam-a-was, and
that his son, James Peters, was in
turn the heir of the father.
Ya-Koot-Sa and A-Llp-Ma, however.
maintained that their sister had been
divorced from Eah-teen by a tribal
rite or custom and that at her death
they were the natural heirs, on which
assumption they brought suit. Fed
eral Judge Bean of this city held that
the decision of the Indian office was
final and in this opinion the court
of appeals has now concurred.
BEAR STATE AFTER MEET
SAN FRAN CISCO OCT TO GET
DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION.
Members of National Committee
Reported Favoring Seal Rocks
City for Gathering.
NEW TORK, Jan. 5. (Special.)
According to members of the demo
cratic national committee who have
been passing through this city on
their way to Washington to attend
the meeting of the committee on
Thursday, . San Francisco is quite
likely to be chosen as the place for
the democratic national convention
These men assert that from the
talks they have had with other mem
bers of the committee it appears that
the choice is likely to lie between
San Francisco and St. Louis, with
the California city having consider
ably the better of it. Kansas City
mentioned after St. Louis, then
Chicago and then Cleveland.
It became known some time ago
that San Franciscans "were out" to
get the convention. To committee
members it is clearly intimated that
San Francisco stands ready to "come
across with a check or considerable
size and to offer other inducements.
As in the case of Baltimore, the size
of the check offered sometimes de
termines the selection of the conven
tion city.
To the argument that San Francisco
is too far, away, the answer is that
westerners have to come east to con
ventions and now have the right to
consideration. Democratic leaders
recall that California actually re
elected Mr. Wilson. They contend
that the west must be carried by the
democrats this year or the election
will be lost.
It seems certain from what these
members of the committee say that
the convention will be held after the
republican convention in ' Chicago,
June 8. June 22 and 23 have been
suggested as possible dates.
CHINESE DOUBTS OATH
Objection to Proceedings in Court
Is Overruled.
"Me no believe officer when he
take oath like that," challenged Lee
King, a wily Chinese as he appeared
in municipal court yesterday charged
with selling opiates.
The arresting officer had Just taken
the oath before going on the witness
stand to give his testimony..
"Make him go out in street and
raise hand where it can be seen - in
sunlight." protested King. "Me no
like oath like that here in room."
Judge Rossman, however, was well
satisfied with the usual method of
prescribing the oath to a witness and
the Chinese was found guilty forth
with. He was sent to . jail for 20
days.

CONGRESS
RESUMES
WORK AFTER RECESS
Formality Is Absent Few
Minor Bills Are Passed.
LITTLE TALK ON TREATY
House Plans to Deny. Seat to Ber
ger Representative Mann to
Support His Claim.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 5. Congress
went ' to work Immediately today
upon reconvening after its fortnight
holiday recess.
Without formality, both senate and
house began disposition of bills on
their calendars and within an hour or
so both bodies resumed their normal
appearance of scant attendance dur
ing speechmaking. Miscellaneous bills
only were considered and a few of
the less important passed. The sen
ate late In the day started debate on
the waterpower development bill,
consideration of which promised to
continue into next week. The Sterl
ing sedition bill went over until to
morrow. There was only perfunctory discus
sion of the peace treaty in the sen
ate. Senator King, democrat, Utah,
presented formally his set of com
promise reservations and many sen
ators were engaged in 'private con
ferences on the treaty situation but
nothing tangible resulted.
Victor Berger, the Wisconsin so
cialist, re-elected after being refused
a seat by the house, did not arrive
today, but tomorrow, or immediately
on his presentation of re-election
credentials, house leaders planned to
refuse again to grant him a seat.
Representative Mann of Illinois, for
merly republican leader, surprised
house members by announcing he
would support Bergers claim.
Many committees of both senate
and house got into action today and
prepared to grind out the endless
procession of bills and resolutions
which are expected to hold congress
here for the next nine or 10 months.

ternationale, which was issued last
spring from Moscow, Russia, is prom
inent in pamphlet form for the guid
ance of American neophytes who Join
the communist labor party.
"Civil war is forced upon the labor
ing classes by their arch-enemies,"
declares the manifesto. "The working
class must answer blow for blow, if
it will not renounce its own object
and Its -own future, which is at the
same time the future of humanity."
Appeal Made For Revolt.
It is upon the reiteration of this
principle, plainly an appeal for revo
lution by force, and upon a number
of. printed and spoken assertions in
similar vein, that the state will base
its allegations that the syndicalism
act has been thoroughly fractured by
the budding communist party. The
Oregon act defining criminal syndi
calism and prescribing penalty, is
comprehensive. .
Any person who " organizes, or
helps to organize, or becomes a mem
ber of, or voluntarily assembles,"
reads the act, with any society or
assemblage which teaches, advocates,
or affirmatively suggests the doc
trine of criminal syndicalism, sabo
tage, or the necessity, propriety or
expediency of doing any act of phys
ical violence or the commission of
any crime or unlawful act as a means
of accomplishing or effecting any in
dustrial or political ends, change or
revolution, orjfor profit, is guilty of
a lelony."
Maximum Term 10 Year.
Penalty for violation of the state
syndicalism act is fixed at a pen!
tentiary term of not less than one
year nor more than 10 years, or by a
fine of not more than $1000, or by
both such fine and imprisonment.
Only one arrest rewarded the drag
net yesterday, that of Robert E. Rice,
taken into federal custody as a radi
cal and member of the communist
party. His claim that he is an Amer
ican citizen is flow under investiga
tion. Rice gave his address as 1111
East Washington street, and said
that he was born in Ohio.
Formal hearings for the radicals
who are held for deportation, will be
gin today, according to W. F. Wat-
kins of the United States immigration
bureau. The defendants have been
allowed to engage counsel and call
witnesses for the closed hearings
which will be held, and the evidence
obtained will be forwarded to Wash
Ington for decision.

It was said at the department that
Berger was permitted his liberty un

tence for espionage act violations on
promise to cease his alleged disloyal
agitation. Every time he has spoken
In public the department is said to
have protested to the court that his

The Berger appeal from the convic
tion and 20-year sentence of the
United States district court at Chi
cago is pending in the United States
circuit court of appeals at Chicago,
and much to the displeasure of the
department of Just.ce, his counsel has
been able to secure one postponement
after another.
" Cinllt Held Fully Proved.
"Those people who are protesting
to congress against the unseating of

members 'of congress would violate
their oaths of office if they voted to

McAdoo Report Starts) Talk.
The New York Sun set political cir
cles to talking this morning with the
announcement that William Glbbs
McAdoo will not seek the democratic
presidential nomination. This was
said to be one of the reasons why he
is not to participate In the Jackson
day dinner here Thursday night.
There was a general disposition to
accept the report (as true, because
there has been much going on re
cently to disturb the plans of the
former secretary of the treasury and
director-general of railroads. While
he has been able to advise labor in
directly that he Is not In complete
sympathy with all of the moves of
the attorney-general against radical
labor. It is reasoned that he sees no
way completely of dissociating him
self with the administration, which
must take the responsibility. While
he left the government payroll a year
ago he Is still married to the admin
istration, and happily so, thereby
making his escape from all respon
sibility rather difficult. The Sun said:
"William G. McAdoo will not enter
the democratic primary for the presi
dential nomination. He is not even
in a receptive mood and will shun the
party mantle if he sees it falling his
way.
Ko More Politics Perhaps.
"Though the position of the former
secretary of the treasury and director-general
of railroads has been
causing much speculation In demo
cratic ranks and much concern to
democratic aspirants, it was learned
today that he has determined to stay
out of politics.
"Mr. McAdoo made his decision sev
eral weeks ago, however, and he
might allay their fears if he would,
but he is one of the keenest and most
Interested spectators and will do noth
ing that would take spice from the
game. Consequently he will make no
formal announcement.
"The former secretary of the treas
ury Is not out of politics for good.
He has his eye on 1924. By that time
perhaps he will step out, but not now.
"So far as the other aspirants are
concerned the old-time Wilson man
agers he proposes to stand aiooi. He
has not announced his decision be
cause he does not want to be besieged
with appeals for support and is not
ready to declare himself for any of
those who have entered the field. He
proposes to be a. spectator only as
long as he can be."
KIDNAPING IS CHARGED
Aberdeen Man Arrested on North
Carolina Complaint.
ABERDEEN, Wash., Jan. 5. (Spe
cial.) W. A. Gunter. an employe of
the Western mill, was arrested here
upon receipt of a warrant issued at
Roninsville. N. C, charging him with
kidnaping his two children. Gunter,
who has been married twice and
whose first wife has been living in
North Carolina, went south recently
and returned to the west with his
small children. As soon as his first
wife learned his whereabouts she
swore to the kidnaping charge. Gun
ter asserts that in the decree of di
vorce which was granted him no
court award was made of the children
and that this fact makes the kidnap
ing charge absurd. He is held In the
city Jail pending further word from
the North Carolina authorities.
