IDAHO BEATEN BY OREGON
Continued From First Pa se. )
CHICAGO, Oct. 23. Senator Philan
der Knox of Pennsylvania, - ex-secretary
of state, prevented by ill health
from making a western speaking trip
in behalf of Senator Harding, issued
a statement today through Senator
Harry New, chairman of the repub
lican speaKers' bureau, bitterly criti
cising President "Wilson and attacking
the league of nations covenant.
Senator Knox's statement in part
follows:
"On the threshold of the adjust
ment of America's relations to all the
world and to the enemy that had cost
us the lives of our best and bravest
sons and a treasure beyond compre
hension, the egoist of the White
House, when he sallied forth single
handed and alone to recast, in his
"own name,' and by his 'own proper
authority,' the map and the destinies
of the earth, demanded 'uncontrolled
power.'
People Repudiate Sugreeatlon.
"Understanding the possibilities of
the investment of all these mighty
forces in the uncontrolled power of a
single individual, the American peo
ple, with that great good sense which
makes them worthy of their heritage,
promptly repudiated the preposterous
suggestion and gave him a republican
senate and house, whose courage and
patriotism have saved what our
grandsires established and our fathers
preserved.
"Unabashed by this rebuke, and
with an obstinacy of purpose which
had for its end an ambition that
would have aroused jealousy in an
Alexander or a Napoleon, Mr. Wilson
took his way to Paris, undertook to
iput us in a super-federation of the
world by means of what is called a
league of nations, and is now about
to receive the nation's verdict
through a grave and solemn referen
dum in which he is represented by
his proxy, Mr. Cox.-
"The proposed covenant, instead of
abolishing . war, actually sanctions,
breeds and commands it. Moreover,
it absolutely requires that every fu
ture war shall be a potentinl world
war, and that we shall e an active
participant in every such war. We
are thus thrust fully into the terrible
cauldron of Kuropean politics, and
every outbreak in the Balkans, even
domestic, if it threatens international
war, will call for some expenditure
of treasure, for some shedding of
American blood, for some loss of
American life. It is idle to say and
fatuous to hope or believe these out
breaks will not occur, for ambitious
men do not hesitate to waste life in
order to punish an enemy or gain a.
goal." "
Covenant Provision Destruetf ve.
'"The provisions of the proposed
covenant are also destructive of our
sovereignty. Statesmen of Europe
who are keenly anxious to involve
us in this partnership of nations
make no dishonest pretense that it
does not involve the surrender of
sovereignty to a . super-government.
. . . With me, however, it is dif
ferent. Here we will keep the home
fires of patriotism burning and will
refuse to be drawn into an orgy of
unrestrained international free love.
"The soundness of Senator Hard
ing's position lies in his recognition
of the fundamental fact that the
league, as tendered to us, will not
do, as it is not safe for America, and
not being safe for America, it is not
safe for the world. Senator Harding
recognizes that we deeire not spe
cially insured relation to the league
of nations, and, therefore, that the
league, as proposed must be rejected
and the energies of the world, under
the leadership of the United States,
directed to the formation of a . true
league of nations, under which con
troversies may be judicially deter
mined and the curse of war outlawed
and made an international crime.
Article X Bone of Controvery.
"Article X of the covenant seems
to be the bone of controversy and
trhe question is: Are we, under its
terms, obligated to go to war. if war
is necessary, to repel external ag
gression against members of the
league. When we are told as Presi
dent Wilson recently told us, that
thos who do not care to tell you
the truth about the league of na
tions tell you that article X of the
covenant of the league of nations
would make it possible for other
nations to lead us into war,' it may
bo just as well to inquire who told
us so. The person who told me that
under article X we were under 'an
absolutely compelling moral obliga
tion to go to war to repel external
aggression against a member of the
league of nations was President Wil
son, as the following dialogue at
the White House discloses:
"'Senator Knox. Mr. President,
allow me to ask this question. Sup
pose that It is perfectly obvious and
accepted that there is an external
aggression against some power, and
suppose It is perfectly obvious and
accepted that it cannot be repelled
except by force of arms; would we
bo under any legal obligation to participate?"
" -The president. No. sir. But we
would be under an absolutely com
pelling moral obligation.'
"I entirely agree with Mr. Wilson
that we would be under an absolutely
compelling moral obligation to go
to war under the circumstances
named. I can think of nothing more
inexorable than an absolutely com
pelling moral obligation."

He left here for Portland this morn

Tacoma Officer in New York
Wants Affidavits.
BABE'S RETURN RECITED
ecuted forward pass, Rinehart to
Brown, brought the touchdown. The
bail settled fairly into Brown's hands
as he crossed the goal line. For
the second time this young Oregon
end 'had brought home the bacon for
his cheering college.
Rinehart Kicks Goal.
Rinehart- this time kicked goal and
the score stood Oregon 13, Idaho 0.
The first half closed with Idaho In
possession of the ball on Oregon's
35-yard line.
Idaho's score came in the fourth
quarter after Coach Kelley's men had
uncovered a series of forward passes
and fake plays, starting from a
spread formation. This quarter
opened with Idaho holding the ball
on Oregon's 30-yard line. A 12-yard
forward pass, Irving to B. Brashears,
netted a first down. B. Brashears
repeated with another pass for eight
yards." Two fake plays from the
"Idaho epread" gained nothing, but
then Irving, on a fake forward pass,
wiggled his way for 15 yards through
most of the Oregon team to the Ore
gon ten-yard mark.
Twice Idaho backs plunged against
the Oregon front ranks. Twice they
were thrown back as from a wall of
stone. But on . the third try the
speedy Irving shot outside left tackle
to the one-yard line. Thence B.
Brashears rammed through for the
remaining yard. Irving kicked goal.
Score, Oregon 13, Idaho 7.
That was the exent of the scoring,
though Francis Jacobberger came
near sending a dropkick over the bar
for Oregon shortly before the final
whistle. Idaho was penalized for off
side play. Oregon received forward
passes at this juncture, but was more
successful on smashing cross-bucks
outside tackle by Meade, a second
string, half, who replaced Steers in
the last period. Meade tore off sev
eral rushes of eight to 12 yards.
Two Oregon fumbles in succession
spoiled chances for a touchdown just
before the whistle blew, with Oregon
the aggressor on Idaho's 23-yard line.
Both elevens showed lots of fight
and both were ragged and brilliant
in succession. Both showed decided
weakness in sustained offensive, their
work being spotty. In the first half
Idaho gained 69 yards from scrim
mage to 54 yards for Oregon. In the
second half Idaho gained 50 yards to
66 yards for Oregon, making the total
yardage from scrimmage by - each
team, not including forward passes,
Idaho 119 yards to 120 for Oregon.
Idaho Has Edge.
In the first part of the game, Idaho
had an edge in offensive scrimmaging.
The Idaho backs plowed through for
48 yards in this quarter to only 13
yards for Oregon. In the third quarter
again. Idaho made 20 yards and Ore
gon only four.
The longest forward pass of the
game was that of 20 yards that gave
Oregon its second touchdown. Oregon
made first down three times in the
first half and six-times in the second,
a total of nine, and Idaho made first
down four times in the first half to
only three in the second, a total of
seven. Oregon averaged 171 pounds
to 167 for Idaho.
Bill Steers, whose return to Oregon
a week ago strengthened . the team
vastly, played through most of
three quarters. He started at half.
but shifted to quarter when Rinehart
was carried from the field in the
second half with an injured ankle.
Francis Jacobberger replaced Steers
at half and later when he left the
game and went to quarter, while
Meade took up the burden creditably
at half.
Condition of Kidnaped Youngster
Improved; He and Mother
' Go Out Riding.
SEATTLE. Wash., Oct. 23. (Spe
cial.) When Captain of Detectives
Strickland today telegraphed from
New York to his superior. Chief of
Police Smith of Tacoma, for a tele
graphic copy of an affidavit detailing
every incident of the return of kid
naped Bobby Stagg. Strickland's as
sociates declared this document would
be the winning card he would play in
his fight for extradition of Betty
Brainard to this state. He would use
it. it was pointed out, to convince
Governor Smith of New York of Miss
Brainerd's alleged complicity in the
kidnaping.
"In affidavit set forth every detail
and names of persons who partici
pated in restoration of the child," said
the message.
Newspaper Woman Is Named.
Commenting on what would be in
eluded in that affidavit, the officers
remarked that it would be shown
that Miss Marinobel Smith, agent of
the New York American, brought the
child back to Vancouver, B. C, acting
on the directions of her employer,
the publisher of The American.
' It will show, according to the of
ficers, that Miss Brainerd's counsel,
I. Kresel, enlisted the support of Mr.
Shaw in the restoration of the Stagg
baby after Mr. Shaw's interest and
sympathy, according to Miss Smith,
had been aroused by friends of Miss
Brainerd, who were acquaintances of
Mr. Shaw's.
The affidavit, it is said, will show
that Miss Smith met Miss Brainerd at
the home of Sigmund Saks, where she
has found refuge during her detention
as a fugitive from justice, and there,
from Miss Brainerd's own lips, learned
that she. Miss Brainerd, established
Nurse Edith Nickelson and Bobby
Stagg in an apartment at West 123d
street and Morningside avenue.
And, in the same connection, the af
fidavit will relate, said the officers,
how Miss Brainerd and her counsel,'
Attorney Kresel, arranged for Nurse
Nickelson to turn the child over to
Miss Smith, who was accompanied by
her mother, Mrs. Thomas Smith, for
delivery to Tacoma newspaper people
at Vancouver, B. C.
Strickland to Meet Smith. .
According to aavices from Captain
Strickland, Governor Smith had prom
ised to meet him at the Biltmore
hotel. New York City, next Wednes
day, at which time he would conduct
a hearing on the Brainerd extradition.
At that time Captain' Strickland will
present the telegraph copy of the af
fidavit regarding the restoration of
the child, which, his brother officers
ciaim, will convince Governor Smith
that Miss Brainerd "has done some
things which we're best explained in
the superior court of Pierce county,
Washington." - ;
And while all the affidavits and as
sertions were being assembled by
Chief of Police Smith at Tacoma to
day, Bobby Stagg went motoring. ,.-
Much improved over his condition
when he was brought home Thursday
evening, the attending ' physician
granted permission for friends to take
Bobby and his mother, Mrs., Edith
Cunningham Stagg, out for. a ride this
morning.

ning Farmer to Earth. .
ALBANY, Or., Oct. 23. (Special.)
Frank . Clingrman, 52, a farmer who
lives two miles southeast of Peoria,
was killed last night when his tractor
fell upon . him. Apparently the ma
chine had tipped over slightly into a
ditch and Clingrnan had detached the
plow and .was trying" to drive it out
when it tumbled backward and
crushed him beneath it.
No one saw the accident. Clingrnan
had been in the habit of plowing un
til about 7 o'clock or later and when
he did not return at 9 o'clock his-sis
ter started out to "hunt him. She
