All of the scandals laid bare by committees Investigating the war and other government actlvl ties daring the mar period, and all of the partisan bickerings ever the- main question of the league of nation were put aside today to give political Wash ington an opportunity to discuss' the startling disclosure of the break be tween President Wilson and Senator Gilbert M. Hitchcock of Nebraska. The denial by Secretary Tumulty this after noon made no impression. This sensational development has been freely cited as one more evidence that Wood row Wilson never forgives. However, those who would believe that the cause of the president's displace ment of Hitchcock as the league of na tions leader In the senate dates back to a time before the war. when the Nebraska senator was opposing the fed eral reserve bill and some other admin istration measures, are mistaken. The cause of Mr. Wilson's displeasure is more recent than that. Leak Inquiry Rails WHsob. It was In his sincere seal and his Indefatigable effort to help the presi dent put through the league of nations programme that Senator Hitchcock-- in curred Mr. Wilson's displeasure. Mera bers of the cabinet and other appoin to of the Dresldent mar blunder a much as they like an their Jobs"'Pf In no danger so long as their blunders do not embarrass any of the personal plans of Mr. Wilson. This has been shown conclusively In his attitude toward Postmaster-General Burleson and Sec retary of War Newton D. Baker, con demned many times by the public but retained in office because their blunders were nothing that gave personal of fense to their chief. On the other hand, former Secretary of War Lindley N Garrison got crossed on some of Mr. Wilson's own plans relative to army reorganization and his tenure of office lasted only a few hours thereafter. Senator Hitchcock s mistake appears to have been in forcing an Investigation of the treaty leak sometime ago. President Feels Hamlllatrd. No purpose of the president could be served by such an Investigation. The result of the investigation was to hu miliate the president and the other members of the peace commission by ezposing the fact that the treaty was delivered to New Tork financial inter ests by a member of those same Inter ests who had obtained it from Thomas Liraont. of J. P. Morgan A Co.. one of the chief financial advisers of the American peace commission. The line of communication between Mr. Wilson and Senator Hitchcock is believed to have been cut at about that time, and then the president was further wrought up a few days ago when he read in a newspaper that the Nebraska senator had shown hesitation at approving the separate treaty with Prance. News of the break failed to peach the eara of the newsgatherers with the same rapidity that tips on some of the president's messages and movements have reached the New Tork stock OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington.

PARIS, July 12. (Special Cable.) The council of five today heard repre sentatives of Cxecho-Slovakia, Rou- I mania and Jugo-Slavia concerning the future frontiers and status of Hungary. ' The questions involved are extremely delicate. While allied intervention in Hungary is not officially favored, this contingency was discussed, without a decision. Should the council decide that the attitude of Bela Kun requires inter vention, forces of the united command would be employed for that work. An agreement reached days ago was made public today to the effect that three warships American, British and French are on the way to Flume. It appears that the French had decided 12 LEADING SEATTLE MEN IN LIQUOR NET a I. i .

Mr. Daniels' telegram was in re sponse to an Invitation extended to him by Governor Olcott several days ago, and reads: "I thank you for your in- Itation and will take the matter up with the commander-in-chief of the fleet.

Returning 12 Indictments, the list be ing headed by Judge Clay Allen of the the superior court, and including four deputy sheriffs, the chief of court clerk and a number of prominent physicians and business men, the grand jury called to Investigate the county liquor scandal made its first report today. -After returning the indictments the jury recessed, with the permission of the court, until November 17, when, in accordance with instructions given on . Friday, they will take up the routine Investigations ordinarily made by grand juries and will make Bpecial inquiry into alleged corruption in connection with the importation and sale of large quantities of liquor.

The sudden termination of the In vestigation occasioned as much sur prise as the indictments that were re turned. Every indictment returned per- . tains to unlawful possession or dispo sition of whisky, and is directly con nected with the matter which the Jury was instructed by Presiding Judge Boyd J. Tallman to investigate, the handling and disposal of the Hensgen whisky. The jury submitted a lengthy review of the scandal they had been instructed to investigate, and made recommenda-' tions as to the manner in which liquor shall be handled in the future. It was asserted in the report that county of ficials had been extremely careless in their method of handling whisky. Although the utmost secrecy had been observed In the handling of the in dictment by Judge Tallman and County '" Clerk Percy Thomas, who was en- . trusted with the duty of turning them over to the sheriff Sheriff John String er did not h jsitate to make the contents of all indictments returned known.
