TWO ISSUES CALLED "ABYSS"
General in Reply Refuses to
Let Senator "Dig Pit."
HIGH PATRIOTISM URGED
Strolls foreign Policy Is Wanted
and Protection of Americans
Everywhere Demanded.
PIERRE, S. T., March 20. The
labor situation and the league of na
tions were the chief problems dis
cussed by Major-General Leonard
Wood and Senator Miles Poindcxter of
AVashington, republican candidates for
president, in the opening: speeches of
iheir joint debate here tonight
Senator Poindcxter, who opened the
debate, declared that "an abyss ex
isted" between General Wood and
himself on these two issues. He
argued that he supported rejection of
the league of nations covenant and
that General Wood was on record as
favoring ratification of the covenant
with reservations.
Senator Poindcxter also declared
that his "open shop" labor policy was
contrary to General Wood's views.
Abyaa Denied hjr Wood.
General Wood declared "he could
not permit Senator Poindcxter to dig
mi uhvss between them because no
abyss existed." General Wood did
not directly state whether he favored
an open shop or not. but he said: "No
man should be compelled to work
and no man should be prevented from
working if he wants to work."
Touching upon his attitude toward
the league of nations, the genera! de
clared: ".My letter to Senator Borah
leaves America free and untrammeled
lo accept the mandate she ought to
accept the mandate of American
public opinion. Wlieit we turn our
people to war, it is going to be done
under the mandate of the American
people and not under the mandate of
any group of foreign nations.-
Primary o Be Held Turadoy.
A state-wide primary for presi
dential indorsement will take plact
Tuesday. At the republican conven
tion here last Pccember General Wood
was indorsed for the nomination. The
convention, under the state law, was
obliged to decide on a paramount ls
fue and it chose "Americanism."
In the debate. General Wood said
in part:
"The platform of America is Amer
ica first, first through justice and fair
dealing: government under the con
stitution with each department func
tioning within Its own limits; no
autocracy of. wealth; no autocracy of
labor, but a real democracy for both;
no claFS domination of legislation,
and untrammeled and fearless ju
diciary. Courts free from any taint
of political influence or control.
"An Intense spirit of national solid
arity Is needed, avoiding loose-flbered
internationalism as we would death,
for it means national death."
Strong Policy I'rvrrd.
Other points outlined by General
Wood included:
"A strong but not quarrelsome for
eign policy; tolerant, seeking peace,
but protecting the interests of Amer
icans wherever they are residing.
"A sound public school system. An
adequate wage for our teaching force.
"A careful regulation of immigra
tion with a view of keeping out un
desirable and dangerous elements. Un
qualified indorsement of woman's suf-

Brotherand 15 Campaign Mana
gers Share in Fate of Convicted
Michigan Lawmaker.
GRAND RAPIDS', Mich., March 10.
Truman H. Newberry, junior United
States senator from Michigan, was to
day convicted by a Jury of having
conspired criminally in 1918 to violate
the election laws. He was sentenced
by Judge Clarence W. Sessions to two
years' Imprisonment and fined J10.000.
Released on bond pending an appeal,
he at once issued a statement de
claring his intention to retain his
seat In the senate unless that Jaody
decides otherwise, or the supreme
court upholds his conviction.
Sharing the fate of the senator
were his brother, John S. Newberry,
and 15 campaign managers. Including
Frederick Cody, New York, and Paul
H. King, Detroit. Both these men
received the limit sentence with their
chief.
Brother Fined (IO.UOO.
Charles A. Floyd, Detroit, also was
sentenced to two years in the peni
tentiary, but he was' fined only half
as much as Newberry. The brother
was fined J10.000 and was one of
four who were not sentenced to
Leavenworth. The lightest sentence
went to George S. Ladd of Sturbridge,
Mass., who was fined J1000.
Other sentences were:
William J. Mickel, two years.
Allen A. Templeton, one year and
six months.
Roger M. Andrews, one year and
six months.
Milton Oakman, one year and six
months.
JJichard H. Fletcher, one year and
three months.
James F. McGregor, one year and
three months.
rreu Menry, one year and three
months.
Hannibal Hopkins, one year and
one day.
E. V. Chilson, one year and
day.
Harry O. Turner, fined $2000.
B. Frank Emery, fined $2000.
Court Procedure Speedr
The trial passed into hiBtory with
great velocity. The jury was ready
with its verdict at 11:12 A. M- Less
than half an hour later the jurors
had been discharged by the court
alter freeing G8 of the S5 defendants
There was a brief respite for lunch
eon and then the senator and his 16
associates were brought into court
again. The room was crowded.
Ordered to stand before the bar,,
the men ranged themselves in a
crescent, the senator on the left and
his brother next.
The stir of arranging the men be
fore the bar died away to absolute
stillness. In quiet tones Judge Ses
sions asked if any of the men wished
to say anything before sentence was
pronounced. They stood mute. Then
the court. In even tones, read the
time-honored formula of sentence.
Prison Term Decreed.
"Truman H. Newberry, in your case,
it is the judgment of the court that
you be confined in the penitentiary
at Leavenworth for the'full time and
period of two years and be fined
$ln,000,"- said the judge.
No one stirred as the audience
caught the words that showed the
judge had addressed against the
principal defendant the heaviest sen
tence allowed by the law.
There was a deep breath or two
audible as the same measure of
justice was rrieted out to King and
Cody. One or two of the defendants
stirred a bit when Floyd was given
a slightly less severe penalty, but
each succeeding sentence to prison or
heavy fine was received in stoical
silence.
Other Cases Dismissed.
Immediately after the sentence had
been passed Franck C. Dailey, of
Indiapanolis, special assistant attorney-general
and chief prosecutor of
the famous case, wiped the slate
clean by moving the dismissal of 10
of 135 respondents to the indictment
who had pleaded "no contest." He
also moved the discharge of Elmer
E. White of Traverse City, who was
given a severance because of illness,
and of James Dailey, a Muskegon

President's Desire.
SENATE OVERTURES UNLIKELY
Versailles Pact Reposes
in
White House Now.
FOES ARE SATISFIED
Republicans, Unconcerned, Flan
to Take Initiative in Putting
Document Into Elections.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU,
Washington, March 20. The treaty
of Versailles now reposes in the
executive offices of the White House
and it is not likely to be returned
to the senate again unless some re
pentant democrat Monday moves to
have It sent back for a reconsidera
tion of the vote by which it was
rejected last night.
Should this be done, which ap
peared Improbable today, there doubt
less would be enough votes to adopt
the motion, there being no objection
among the republican senators, ex
cept possibly the irreconcilables, to
allow a few wavering democrats to
waver to the other side of the ques
tion if it is their desire
Wilson Opposes Revival.
T was said todav. however, that if
such a motion be made the 23 demo
crats who stood by the president yes
terday, voting with the battalion of
death against, ratification, would have
orders from their chief in the White
House to oppose reconsideration. The
action of Senator Hitchcock in the
last moments of yesterday in causing
Senator Robinson of Arkansas to
withdraw a motion to reconsider,
gives color to th rumor that Mr.
Wilson would not permit his follow
ers to revive the document.
The main discussion of the treaty
oda was directed to its effect 00
Iho campaign. Republicans were
wholly unconcerner". about it as a cam
paign issue. If they felt any emo
tions at all it was that ol pleasant
anticipation. .
Campaign Material Found.
In the debates of yesterday there
were so iftany democratic speeches de
livered which either defended the res
ervations or said that they worked
no harm to the pact that it would not
be necessary to look to republican
sources for campaign material.
All of Mr. Wilson's mainstays in the
early months of the treaty fight had
faded away long before the pact was
killed in the senate yesterday. The
president stood practically alone.
Taft, President Lowell of Harvard,
Oscar Strauss, Herbert Hoover and
more than 100 others who gave much
of their time in the early stages of
the fight to supporting the president.
had either deserted him or were call
ing upon the senate to ratify with
the Lodge reservations.
Silence la Significant.
There was not one person even on
the democratic side who appeared
anxious yesterday to defend the treaty
as brought home from Europe. Not
even Senator Hitchcock seemed to have
his heart in it. The silence vl the 23
democrats who voted against ratifi
cation with reservation yesterday be
cause the president ordered to do it
was significant.
' Some of these when the roll was
called hardly answered to their names
above a whisper. It was so notice
able that several times the remark
was heard in the galleries that they
responded as though they were
ashamed of themselves.

Designers Retain Xarrow Sleeves
as Compromise to Males Who
Prefer "Clinging Styles." .
NEW YORK, March 20. New de
signs for men's spring and summer at
tire to be displayed at the- annual
fashion show and dinner of the New
York Custom Cutters' club Monday
night virtually eliminate the tight
fitting suit of war days. Instead, a
natural-fitting coat, not so narrow
and just a fraction longer, has been
decreed by fashion arbiters as its
substitute. The toothpick lapel also
has been discarded and in Its place
a more modest half-peak has been
decided upon.
Experts agree that the American
man prefers three buttons on his coat
instead of two. As a solace for any
disappointment that might be felt
through the loss of the "clinging
styles, "f the narrow sleeves will be
retained. The correctly dressed man
also will have a ten-inch opening in
the back of his coat. Slash pockets
have gone, but those in the waist
coat and coat will have a slight
curve.
Trousers will have little change.
The average man, a statement said,
likes his covering for the lower limbs
narrow and with cuffs, and that is
the way he will get it.
Only slight changes have been
made in evening dress and in the
cutaway for the promenader. The
very modish will get a snappy
"short sack suit" with wide belt and
two pleats, which the designers have
stamped as "correctly blase." The
solons further decree there will be
no orgy of color schemes.
The light spring overcoat will be
"shapely in front with full box back
and no vent." it will have the popu
lar circular patch pockets. Light
colors will predominate.

Party of Two Men and Two Women,
- Chased Amid Fusillade of . j
Bullets, Go Free.-
ABERDEEN, Wash.. March 20.
(Special.) J. H. Washington, police
judge of Elma, has resigned at the
demand of Mayor Crook, following the
acquittal of Mr. and Mrs. Pete Her
mans and Mrs. is. A, KODinson or
Aberdeen and a Mr. Miller on a dry
law violation ojiafge in Judge Wash
ington's court. In the opinion of city
officials and citizens familiar with the
circumstances of the case the acquit
tal was unjustifiable, and Mayor
Crook at once asked the resignation,
which was given and accepted.
The party of four brought up for
trial left Elma by automobile for
Oakville Thursday night Town of
ficers, acting on tip that the motor
ists had gone to Oakville for liquor,
stationed themselves on the south
side of the river at the edge of town
and awaited the return of the party.
When the car came, in sight the of
ficers flashed a light on its occupants
and ordered them to stop. Instead of
complying with the order, the driver,
it is alleged, put on all power and
drove past. They then opened up on
the car with revolvers, three shots
going through different parts of the
machine.
One bullet punctured the gasoline
tank. Officers took up the chase
and assert they saw something thrown
from the speeding car. On Young
street in Elma the car's gasoline sup
ply became exhausted and all four
occupants were arrested. A search of
the roadside following the -arrest
brought to light a cask containing a
small amount of liquor. This, the
prosecution at the trial yesterday al
lege, was the object thrown from the
car during the pursuit by the officers.

MONEY BADLY WANTED
Provision of Funds to Put Wash
ington's Common Schools on an
Efficient Basis Demanded.
OLYMPIA, Wash., March 20. (Spe
cial.) Lnte this evening: it was de
cided that democrats and rcpu-blieans
will meet in a general caucus follow
ing separate caucuses in each house
of the state legislature, and the ques
tion of increasing; the state and coun
ty contributions to the school funds
will be decided In the (reneral caucus.
It. is announced, also, that an attempt
will be made in the general caucus
J to extend the programme agreed irpon
by the appropriation committee to the
extent of amending the primary elec
tion law.
Tonight a strong sentiment pre
vails that the -20-20" plan proposed
by the public school forces is gaining
ground with members of the legisla
ture. Scheme Determined 1 pon.
It was decided today at the close
of the first session of the conference
of county superintendents of the state
that, unless the special session pro
vides an adequate remedy for the
school situation, a plan of providing
funds to restore the common schools
to an efficient basis would bo sub
mitted to the people at the general
election this fall in the form of .an
initiative measure.
It is obvious such a course will in- '
ject into the campaign issues which
will not he welcomed by the majority
'f the legislature and other leaders
and the movement may be headed off
by an agreement to. p-ihs the legis
lation supported by the public school
authorft icn.
Whether the educational forces will
be able to hold the advantage that is
theirs this evening can bo determined
only by events as they develup.
lfw Kleraettt K titers,
A new element entered the fight
today in support of the schools in
their demand for adequate financial
assistance when representatives of the
state parent-teacher organization ap
peared at the conference to enlist in
the legislative battle. They represent
the largest and strongest woman's or
ganization in the state.
Mrs. V. J l. Miller of Tacoma.' chair
man of the legislative committee of
the Parent-Teacher association, told
the conference this afternoon that
she was there to speak for 10.000,
mothers who had children in the pub-!
lie schools of Washington and urged!
immediate relief for the educational
system. Referring to the objection
that it would increase taxes, Mrs.
Miller declared: "It is a false economy
that seeks to save money at the ex
pense of the children of the state."
Governor Louis F. Hart was to have
appeared at the conference this aft
ernoon, but failed to attend. How
ever, he sent his secretary to say
that he had been called to Chehalis
and would be unable to be present
A committee was appointed to wait
upon the governor in an effort to
arrange a meeting with the educators
tomorrow.
2O-20' Plan Favored.
Sentiment at the conference seemed
practically unanimous with the county
superintendents and other educational
workers for the "20-20" plan by which

Producers Pnclarc Vndrr Xcu
Rate Dealers Could Reduce From
15 to 13 Outs Quart.
By fixing a net price to Portland
dealers of $3.50 for 100 pounds of milk
delivered and declaring almost unani
mously for the proposed reorganiza
tion of its present association, based
purely on co-operation, members ot
the Oregon Dairymen' league, meet
ing in central library hall, yesterday
took a step which may lead either to
the lowering; of retail prices or the
fiercest war thus city has even seen
in the business.
The producers contend that at this
rate the retailers could reduce the
price of milk to consumers from 15
to 13 cents a quart. The dealers yes
terday were not ready to say that such
a reduction would be' made, even
should an agreement be signed as
outlined by the league.
A virtual ultimatum has been given
the dealers, more familiarly known as
distributors to the city population,
both by the action taken at the meet
ing of producers yesterday afternoon
and by means of a proposed contract
submitted to the dealers a few days
ago by the authority of the board of
directors of the league.
DUtrlhutors t ha rice Monopoly.
This is said to provide for a virtual
maximum supply of league members'
product for distribution for all dis
tributors, to which the distributors
assert their emphatic displeasure on
the allegation that it is monopolistic j
and is unfair to producers not af- i
filiated with the league, but who do- j
sire to sell to Portland distributors.
Right now, there Is no one in Port- j
land who can say with any certainty
whether an adjustment bet ween the (
producers, as represented through
membehip In the. Oregon Paliymen's
league and the distributors, who are
also organized, wil'l eventuate or
whether Portland will witness the
spectacle of a milk war of vat pro
portions, with the present distribu
tors pitted against the league as an
organization not at present primarily
a distributing agency, but augmented
to sufficient proportions to do so for
this purpose if the occasion demands.
Fight U Promised.
Outright declarations that if a fight
is necessary to "get our- rights, we
will fight to a finish, not by means
of a strike, but by giving lo the pco-
j pie of Port land our produc t gratis
