Newspaper Page TextTHURSDAY, OCTOBER 21, ; 120. THE OREGON .DAILY JOURNAL, PORTLAND, OREGON. , HE GUIDE ALSO BORAH JOHNSON? By David Lawrence (Coprricht. 120. by Th. Jounul) Chicago, HI., Oct, 21. Elihu Root's epeech In New York favoring the modification of the present League of Nations covenant to meet American objections, Is now the bis topic of dlscuHHion at political head quarters of both parties. The im portance of Mr. Root's pronounce ment is that everybody in Republi can circles expects him to be secre tary of state In the adminis tration or the head of another Amer ican peace com.minalon which will negotiate with European govern ments concerning reservations or Changes in the covenant of the league. Mr. Root's expresnprt friendliness to the present league did not come. as a shock to the Irreconcilahles.-' but it has caused them some anxiety, for It is be lieved he would never have made such a statement without letting Senator Harding know Komethinu about it in al vance. Here la the portion of Mr. Root's speech which Is accepted now as the cardinal principle of the next admin istration If Mr. Harding should be elected. CHANGE Sl'ITS HIM 'The question is whether the agree ment creating the league shall be ac cepted absolutely unchanged or shall be modified to meet the American objec tions. I would be glad to have the pro visions of the agreement so changed as to obviate these-the ( American X objec tions. Then would follow an ordinary commonsense negotiation as to the best way to obviate the objections. I think the American objections can be met and obviated wjthout Interfering with the Hcheme of the league or impairing Its usefulness." It will be noted that Mr. Hoot makes no reference to the "Wilson league" as the Republican campnlgp orators have been uniformly calling the present league. Moreover, Mr. Root'clears away the notion that Senator Harding would attempt to establish a new league. He Interprets Senator Harding's promise of "a new relationship" with Europe to mean revision of the existing league and um of the present machinery. To the Irreconcllables this means a departure from their suppositions about Mr. Hard ing's having "scrapped" the league. Sen ator Borah announced recently that he wants tio league at all. but the for eign relation plank In the Republican national platform at Chicago, written by Mr. Root, pledges the party to an agreement with the other nations of the world to preserve peace. Both Senators Johnson and Borah formally approved that plank. TVOCI.D HALT WII.80X To the Democrats, hereabouts, the Root speech brings confirmation of their charge that the only purpose the Repub licans have had from, the start was to prevent Woodrow Wilson from aehiev- Utratlon, should offer the Lodge reaer vatlona again, then it will b evident that partisanship had nothing to do with fc If Elihu Root should follow the lead of certain Republicans In the Chicago convention, who Apposed a flat footed ap proval of the Lodge reservations because they were considered cumbersome and in some respects destructive, it wfll be ap parent that the Democrats had some foundation for their charge. Meanwhile the speech of Elihu Root is considered the big gun of the campaign fired in the last two weeks of October, not only to keep In line those Republi cans who had begun to think a vote for Harding was a repudiation of the present league altogether, but to pave the way for the future overthrow of the Borah Johnson group In the American senate. Guitar Player to Be Special Feature, Sunday Afternoon One of the best programs of the sea son is promised by city officials at the third popular Sunday afternoon concert to be held Sunday afternoon at The Aud itorium. - Charles Dlmond, noted Hawaiian steel guitar player. Is the special attraction at this concert. Mr. Dlmond has long played on "big time" vaudeville and the city was only able to procure his services because he was making a short stay in Portland before taking up his stage work again. Mr. Dlmond will play Hawaiian melo dies as well as popular selections. Thirty-five voices from the Portland Oratorio society will be another fea ture. This chorus Is under the direction of Joseph A. FInley, with Miss Dan Llvesay as accompanist. In addition Lucien E. Becker will play a number of selections on The Audito rium pipe organ. .The concert will begin at 3 o'clock Sunday afternoon and a nominal admission fee will be charged to defray Incidental expenses. Car Shortage Due To Wreck in Tunnel Is Improving Daily Wrecking of a car of lime In Tehateh apl tunnel on the Southern Pacific rail way system, September 6, caused a loss of lOOOrcars to Oregon shippers because blocked tracks did not permit free move ment of traffic. But this condition changed October 6 and since that time 124 empty cars have been received from the California territory by the Ashland division as a dally average. Today 180 empty cars were received. F'redlcting that the car shortage con ditions would receive rapid relief from now on, K. L. Burckhalter, assistant general manager of the Southern Pacific, in charge of-the northern district, made this statement this morning. He ia at his Portland desk for a few days. TANGLED ROMANG E UNWOUND IN KASTE she . claimed, when ehe sent persons to look after her property. ' tion of American membership in a league of nations, the creation of which had been so lagely his Inspiration and work. The Democrats pointed to the Hitchcock reservations offered In the senate as early as November, 1919, In which prac " tlcally every- objection recited today by Kllhu Root was covered even to the limitation of Article X. The Democrats naturally see behind It all only a parti san flKht against Wilson with an attempt tn hold him responsible for the failure to accept the Lodge reservations when, as a matter of fact, according to the Demo cratic viewpoint, the Republicans refused to accept the Hitchcock reservations. Indeed, the Democrats recalled today the agreement reached in the bipartisan con ference of senators whereby reservations one every subject were agreed upon ex cept Article X, and then Senator John- son threatened Senator Lodge with a re volt In the party and the Massachusetts leader declined to continue the blpar tisan conference unless Johnson's views on Article X were accepted. MAY HAVE FOf Jf RATIOS' That's what the Democrats think and say. but just how much validity their view has will hardly be proved until after the election is over and the United States actually negotiates for reserva tions to the present League of Nations.

DANNELLS Trial of the milt of John W, Kaste against John Dannells, manager of the United States laundry, 180 Grand avenue, was begun before Circuit Judge Gatens this morning. Most of the day was taken in statements of the case to prospective jurymen and impanelling the jury. In these statements sensational charges were made on both Bides. Kaste is suing for $800 'alleged to be due from Dannells on a note for $2000. given, it is claimed, as payment to Kaste for services as attorney for Ruby Caldwell, tn trying to get a settlement for her with Dannells of difficulties ex tending over a series of years, says Kaste. Chester Sheppard, attorney for Dannells, made the direct charge that the attempt to get money from his client was "blackmail." The statements brought out a sordid story. It is alleged that Dannells. who Is a married man with a grown family, met Miss Caldwell, who was a profes sional nurse, about six years ago and that after many detailed experiences and rebuffs she went to Kaste's office and told her story. He then took up her case and sent for Dannells. Finally agreements were signed, it was alleged, whereby Dannells was to make provision for Miss Caldwell and pay Kaste $2000 for his services. Of this sum 1800 re mains unpaid, he said. Sheppard told the prospective jurymen that proof would be produced to the effect that Miss Caldwell had continued to visit Dannells repeatedly after he had tried to break away from her, that Dannells had made financial provision for her from time to time, that she had deceived him as to her actual condition. He declared ijhe agreement eventually signed by Dannells in Kaste's office was obtained under duress and threat. The agreement, which was read, showed that Dannqlls had undertaken to buy a bungalow home and furnish it for Miss Caldwell at a cost of approxi mately $10,000; that he was to pur chase for her a new automobile ; was to deposit $1500 in a bank In her name ; was to pay all hospital expenses during 1919 ; was to pay her $150 a month for 30 months and thereafter $lf0 a month for the remainder of her life, or until she married, and was to leave her $10,- 000 in his will.
