SENATORS LEAVE LOOPHOLE TO GET OUT OF PLEDGE Agreement ' Signed by Astute ' Wearers of Toga Favor League but Objects to Present Form. OPPOSITION I S POLITICAL Lawmakers Appear to Be "Spar ring for Time" and Intend to Flop Over at Right Moment Washington, March 29. WASHING TON BUREAU OP THE JOURNAL) After -8S Republican senators have been Hlgrned and delivered in opposition to the .LeagAie of Nations, what next? How much of their - opposition - is - political? How jnuch will they give way under pressure of public opinion? What have "they agreed to do? Thirty-nine senators, standing : to J. gether, are highly important, numbering as they do more than one-third of the senate, when a two-thirds majority is needed to ratify the peace treaty. - It is important to remember, too, that not - less' than three or four Democrats ln- dorse th stand the 39 Republicans have taken, and that of the 10 Republicans who refused to sign, not wre than half ' of them really disagree with those who did. except that they did not think it wise to Join in a "round robin. Careful reading: of what the 29 Re publicans did shows that there is plenty of room in it for graceful retreat and reversal of form. The text of the round robin resolution breathes friendliness for some kind of a league of nations, de claring "sincere desire that the nations of the world should unite to promote peace and general disarmament. Then it says.. Get Reader to Flop "The constitution of the League of Na tions in the form now proposed to the peace conference should not be accepted by the United States." Thfrn Is no utatttment in thin remark able document as to what the signers - will be satisfied with. Beyond question there are going to be changes in the original draft of the League of Nations constitution as a result of the world dis cussion now going on. When these changes are made, without forecasting what they are likely to be, it will be come easy for signers of that docu ment to nay, "These changes make it . better, ana now I can support It."- The Republican declaration, in its in ception and execution, was 90 per cent political.' Lodge and Knox had the pride of their opinions to maintain, a great de sire to show In some form lhat they had strong backing. Penrose and Bran- degee were intent on forcing an early ex tra session. Sherman and other Wilson haters were casting about for anything to discredit the , president. From all these sources came tremen dous pressure, -The witches were brew ing' the broth : "grimalkeft calls, 'tis times" , It was difficult for Republican senators to: withstand the appeals and covert .tnreats tnat were made, in vww . of the loopholes left in the document for suoaequent wriggling out.

The McQuigg brothers, farmers.' saw landis burying something in the woods.' , Landis was then engaged in the real i estate business in Coquille. An inves- 1 tigation proved -that Landis had buried the body of Eudaily, the latter having been shot through the head. .Landis, be fore suspicion , was directed to .him, looked at the body of the dead man after it had. been brought to Coqutlie, then disappeared and had -never been Been since.
