JHUNS TO i
THEIR FATE
Peace Treaty Reported Ready
for Submission.
GERMANS STILL OBDURATE
Statement Tbat Teutons Will Decline
to Sign Terms Reiterated by
Foreign Office.
PARIS. May 31. (By the Associated
Perss.) The second plenary session of
the peace conference this afternoon
decided to present the peace treaty to
the Austrian at noon Monday. The
email powers made reservations on the
financial and reparations clauses.
The session was held in the foreign
office and was "largely attended. It
developed a spirited discussion. Premier
Bratiano of Roumania, M. Trumbitch
of Serbia, Premier Venlzelos of Greece
end the Czecho-Siovak delegation pre
sented reservations on the financial and
reparation terms.
M. Clemenceau replied chiefly on the
criticisms regarding lack of time, point
ing out that more time had been grant
ed than was originally assumed.
President Wilson also made a con
ciliatory speech, urging that the great
powers had borne the chief responsi
bilities and had carefully considerd the
Interests of the smaller powers.
Small Powers Reassured.
The rights of minorities on questions
of race, language and religion were
objected to by the small powers, who
.maintained that this was an infringe
ment on their sovereignty. M. Clem
enceau assured them that this would
be considered by the council of four be
fore the treaty was presnted and an
agreement thereupon was reached to
proceed with the presentation of the
treaty Monday, excepting the financial
and reparations sections, and perhaps
the military section, which may be fur
ther revised. '
BERLIN, May 31. (By the Asso
ciated Press.) The German foreign of
fice has reiterated categorically and
emphatically a statement made on be
half of the cabinet on May 20, that
"Germany declines to sign the terms
laid before it."
In the meantime, the statement, which
was given originally to the Associated
Press, has been circulated throughout
Germany by the official Wolff Bureau,
with credit to the Associated Press.
Subject la Long Debated.
The original statement was trans
lated from the German into English
after the German version had been the
subject of a long debate at the foreign
office. It was then sent from the for
eign office to the correspondent by
Special messenger. The English version
was then submitted to the foreign of
fice for approval. It was stamped by
an official with a fluent knowledge of
Knglish.
It has been noted that the preamble
to the German counter-proposals con
tained many phrases similar to those
of the statement of May 20.
PARIS, May 31. Premier Clemenceau
as president of the peace conference
today replied to the last two German
notes. The official statements on the
replies have not yet been issued.
PARIS, May 31. (By the Associated
Press.) The greater part of the ob
jections raised In the German counter
proposals have in the opinion of French
diplomatic and political circles al
ready been sent forth in separate Ger
man notes and duly answered by tne
allies. Consequently, it is said, there
can be no modification of the peace
terms and there is no necessity for
verbal discussions in which the Berlin
government desire3 to involve tho al
lied powers.
Further Votes Unnecessary.
The German peace delegation has
been notified that the period of delay
for presenting observations having ex
pired, no further notes will be accepted.
Tho German counter-proposals were
accompanied by a covering leter' or
ten typewritten pages. The letter ap
parently is the work of Count von
Brockdorff-Rantzau. as it is more con
ciliatory and adroit than the counter
proposals which were elaborated by
the Berlin government. The letter
paints a most giooray picture of the
fate to which the peace terms con
demn Germany. It refers to the sacred
character of treaties, disavows the
treaty made with Russia at Brest-
Lltovsk and concludes with the fol
lowing phrase:
People Jr'lnally to Decide.
"V, e shall only undertake tnose
obligations which we are sure of keep
ing, because It is tho German people
who. In the last resort, will give its
assent to the treaty.
BERNE, May 30. The Swiss federal
council today gave out a statement
In which complaint is made that Swltz
erland had been unable to obtain from
the allies modification of the blockade
of Germany, the maintenance of which
it Is said, is putting Switzerland in
more untenable position."
Tho statement gives the text of
note which has been sent to the allied
governments demanding that the block
ade be raised lnsorar as it concerns
Switzerland and saying, in case the re
quest is not granted, Switzerland "will
find it necessary to recover her liberty
of action.
jThe remainder of the field was pro
portionately bunched.
L.ECOCQ RACLXG SIXCE 1914
Xoted Driver and Mechanician Are
Burned to Death.
LOS ANGELES, May 31. Louis
Lecocq, noted driver, who was burned
to death with his mechanician, Robert
Bandini. when their car caught fire In
the international automobile Tace at
Indianapolis today, was born in Des
Moines, la., 26 years ago and first
began automobile racing in Elgin. 111.,
In 1914.
Lecocq took third place In the 1919
Santa Monica road race and figured
prominently in many other important
races.
Bandini was horn here, II years ago
and began racing March 17, 191S, as
mechanician for Brent Harding. He
later was mechanician for Roscoe
Sarles. He inherited several years ago
one-sixth of the $7,000,000 estate of his
grandmother.
The showing of a number of French
men, made favorites at the start be
cause of their wonderful work in prac
tice, was a disappointment to a crowd
estimated at 125,000. The terrific pace
at the start, however, in which they
were consistently among the leaders,
resulted in many stops.

ask for a thorough going Investigation.
If made fairly and impartially it would
result in clarifying the atmosphere and
save the law from some unpleasant
complications in the future. In some
instances I believe the public confi

tration of the law, through charges
which have been filed, regardless of
whether or not such charges are true.

such Immense Importance to the state

public confidence needed to maintain
successful operation.
"With this end in view I have de
termined to ask for a thorough-going
investigation by a committee consist
ing of three representatives selected
by the State Federation of Labor to
act for the employes, three representa
tives selected by the Industrial Assoc!
ation of Oregon to act for the employ-
era, and three broad-gauged, fair-minded

confidence, to act as representatives of
the citizens of the state at large.
'Will you kindly consider this com
munication as a request upon the part
of this office that you take up with the
State Federation of Labor the proposal
of selecting three men to represent the
employes upon this investigating com
mittee. I will leave it to the federation
to select these men In any way it
deems fit. Can you kindly advise me
at once as to what action will be taken
in the matter, so this investigation may
be placed under way with tho least pos
sible delay."
