OREGONIAN SEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington. July 12. 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

The council of five today heard repre

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

Secretary of Xavjr Telegraphs He
Hopes to Come to Portland.
SALEM. Or.. July 12. (Special.)
Governor Olcott today received a tele
gram from Secretary of the Navy Dan-
els, in which the latter expressed hope
that he would be able to visit Portland
at the time of the arrival of the Pa
cific fleet.
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. I hope to come to Portland and
will let you know when."

that I am justified in saying that it
would constitute something more than
an inconvenience. It would involve a
serious economic loss. The act of

suited not only from a careful study of
industrial conditions by competent men
familiar with the business operations
of the country, but also from observa

countries, where legislation of this

operation, and where It has resulted,
as the act of March 19. 1918. has result

economies.

Surprise All Around.
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.
"There is not a man on the list that
