TIIE SUNDAY OREGOXIAX, PORTLAND, MARCH 16,- 1919. REV S O R OF LEAGUE COVEiflTDElffi Senator Wadsworth Afraid of Present Document. ALLEGED DANGER IS NOTED Senator-Elect McCormick Declares Wilson Is Attempting Coup d'Etat Jn Defiance of Common People. NEW TORK. March 15. Discussing 1:.e league of nations in a speech be fore the Brooklyn chamber of com merce here today. Senator James W. tVadsworth. Jr.. declared that "if the present covenant were in effect in 1898. hen we went to the rescue of Cuba. would, under the terms, have been attacked by ail other countries." "The most important questions that "have ever confronted the people of the V'orld is the peace conference." he con tinued. "Jt is not American only; it is international, but as we shall decide, so shall the destiny of other countries be settled. No one man and no small body of men should decide such a momentous question. There is no reason for par t sanship. S Revised Ceveaaat Favored. "I am not opposed to the leastue of Vations." he said, "but I believe the Jeaders of the world should get to gether and prepare a covenant to which 1 could !hrr1be. nnd that will not be regarded in the present or hereafter as a "scrap of paper. Article X of the present covenant, he said, would allow dissatisfied members to break away from the league, and it was impossible to discern from the doc ument what were the powers of the ei ecutive council. Senator William M. Calder. who pre sided, declared congress should be in session during the absence of President V ilson. WASHINGTON. March 15. Medill McCormick. republican senator-elect from Illinois, issued a statement today asserting that any censorship upon news from America to Great Britain and France eould have been imposed only to prevent publication of the opln ion of the American people and the at titude of senators toward the constitu tion of the league of nations. Early Peace Wanted. ' "Kurope must come to understand that Mr. Wilson is attempting a coup d'etat in defiance of the decision of the common people of America uttered at the last election, the statement said. Mr. McCormick said the peace conferees should first make peace with German v. and then the president "ought to put aside his pride and invite Senators Lrfdge and Knox, republicans, and Sen ator Hitchcock, democrat, to the peace conference, to draft a league of nations plan which the American people and the senate could approve.

Born in Pennsylvania, Young Man's Education Procured In Public Schools by -'Odd-Job" Route. SALEM, Or., -March 15. (Special.) With the circumstances making Ben W.

Kozer, deputy secre tary of state. Mr. Kozer Is rounding but his twen tieth year in the service of Oregon, the greater share of that time being given in connection with the secretary of state's office, although for more than two and one-half years he acted as in surance commissioner. Mr. Kozer is a native of Pennsyl vania, where he was born October 19, 1S71. After his graduation from the public schools, which was accomplished with the assistance of selling papers and doing "odd Jobs," he was employed for a time by the Pennsylvania Steel company at Steelton, his native town. He disliked the grime and the smoke, however, and made his way west, ar riving in Oregon In June, 1890, doing his first work on a farm at Gearhart. and assisting in construction of the Gearhart hotel. He secured his first clerical position in the state under F. L Dunbar, then county recorder of Clatsop county, but later secretary of state. For six years he was employed In various county of fices, as well as In an Astoria abstract company, and in 1897 he became book keeper for Ross Higgins & Co., at As toria, where he remained until he went to Salem to become auditing clerk In the office of the secretary of state. Since that time he has been in the employ of the state, becoming chief clerk in that office under Frank W. Benson, who In 1909 appointed hfcm as Insurance commissioner. Early under the administration of Secretary Olcott he was returned to the office of chief deputy and has retained that post ever since. He was the first Insurance commissioner for Oregon and the first deputy secretary o" state as well, that office'being created iw 1911, and the post of insurance commissioner In 1909. It is doubtful if anyone at the state capitol enjoys such a wide personal ac quaintanceship over the state as "Sam" Kozer. He has been in close personal contact with legislators for 20 years, as well as - with numerous citizens through the various ramifications of the office. - - 300.49 damages against the Meier & Frank company in the circuit court yesterday, as the result of alleged phys ical and mental suffering endured, it is charged, following- a wrongful ar rest.
