Responsibility for Defeat
! League of Nations Placed
of
on Wilson
WASHINGTON, Oct. 22. (By
Associated Press. ) The league
of nations fight and the compell
ing forces underlying it are de
scribed by one of its chief figures,
the late Henry Cabot Lodge, in a
book entitled "The Senate and the
Lekgue of Nations," to be placed
on! sale tomorrow by Scribners,
who hold the copyright. j
. The manuscript was written by
Senator Lodge a month before his
death and in it he attributes full
responsibility for defeat of the
league to the unbending attitude
of President Wilson, who he says,
was actuated throughout by an
"overwhelming thought of self."
He adds what amounts to a
death bed declaration that al
though he worked and voted for
ratification of the league with res
ervations, he was thankful in the
end that it had been defeated. In
practice, he says, the league thus
fat has proved futile for the pur-
poise for which it ostensibly was
designed.
Several hitherto unpublished in
cidents of the ratification strug
gles are related in the book, al
though In the main the late for
eign relations committee chairman
obviously was striving to set down
for posterity the compact account
of the major developments of that
historic battle.
Many pages of the book are tak
en up with a review of the person
al: relations between Lodge and
Wilson.
The war president i8 presented
in; these pages as a figure who
could not rightly be called "a very
great-man;" lacking the scholarly
attainments often attributed to
him, misinformed on important
subjects; given to hiding behind
twisted phraseology and half
truths; some times timid and weak
and undecisive and always guided
by an exaggerated conception of
his own importance.
The key to all he did was that
.hjeLthought of everything in -terms
of Wilson," Wrote Senator Lodge
"In other words, Mr. Wilson, In
dealing with every great question
thought first of himself. He may
hive thought of the country next
but there was a long interval, and
inj the competition the democratic
party, I will do him the justice to
say, was a poor third. Mr, Wilson
was devoured by the desire for
power."
In terms equally as strong, the
senator disavowed all personal
animosity toward the man whose
name came to be set oyer against
his in a great moment of history.

Worth of Beer in
Chicago I
CHICAGO, Oct. 2 2.4-(By Asso
ciated Press.) Charges involving
scores of Chicago policemen, and
officials, five big beerj syndicates.
five railroads and many of their
officials and several i prohibition
agents will be brought before the
federal grand jury asja result of
six month investigation by pro
hibition officials. ;
Federal agents declared that the
evidence may bring about the
greatest beer running scandal
since the eighteenth (amendment
became law. f
They said the evidence will
show that eastern breweries with
the connivance of the railroads
have been running as much as
$9,000,000 worth of beer into Chi
cago since the prohibition laws
became effective. The investiga
tion followed the seizure of 1,000
barrels of beef at Morton Gfove
a suburb, last month and the ar
rest of a policeman and six other
men. Working back from this
case, the investigators from the
internal revenue bureau and the
federal district attorney's office
found that shipments of beer had.
been coming regularly over five
railroads for years. Some railroad
officials and employes divided a
split of $2 a barrel, policemen and
dry agents got another percentage
out of it and the breweries and
financing syndicate divided the
rest.
The investigators suppressed all
names. Fifty Chicagoans were
named in their report.

Plight of Four Explorers en Ronte
to Pacific Coast Is Not
Known Here -
OMAHA. Neb., Oct. 23. Air
mail officials, and army -air ser
vice men were puzzled early today
aDout tne whereabouts of the four
iiymg explorers who left here at
3:15 p. m., Thursday en route to
the Pacific coast to ship to Dutch
.New Gulna. Ten hours after the
departure no trace of them had
been reported at North Platte, or
cneyenne. They had expected to
reach Cheyenne by dusk;
The four men, S- A. Hedburg,
Chicago; H. H. Hoyte, New York
city, pilot; R. K. Peck, Elgin, 111.,
and A. H. , Hamer, Colfax, Iowa,
re-fueled here at the army and
air mail field and continued their
flight in the. 48-foot Yackey nlane
without Incident.
It was the belief here that they
intended following the air mall
route westward. However, at 1
o'clock this morning none of the
emergency air mail fields had
seen the men, long distance tele
phone communication at the local
field indicated.
The regular eastbound flier from
Cheyenne arrived at North Platte
and departed for . Omaha without
having seen the plane, it was said
communication with North Platte
field revealed.
W.ord of distress to the ship, it
was believed, would be sent to
the army field at Fort Crook. Neb.
However, nothing had been heard
at that post.
The ship has a cruising radius
of 700 miles and the, lighted air
mail route "would be easy for the
pilot to follow, it was pointed out
here. Only a lost course or me
chanical failure could prevent the
ship making the North Platte field
at least, it was believed.

DEFENDANTS ON STAND
little Testimony of Interest Is
Offered; Three Convicts
Recalled for Question

With the defense rapidly bring
ing its case to a conclusion, it was
believed last night that the trial
of James Willos and Ellsworth
KeBey, charged by the state with
murder in the first degree, may
end late today and go to the jury
tonight.' The defense has only a
few witnesses to examine, and
this, together with the rebuttal by
the state, should be concluded dur
ing the morning session today.
The summary of the case by both
sides and instructions to the jury
by the court will probably take
place during the afternoon session.
The district attorney has indicated
that his summary will be brief.
Little testimony of interest was
given yesterday, although both de
fendants were enlled to the wit
ness stand. Kelley was again in
terrogated at length as to particu
lars of the escape, but added little
to tho testimony already on record.
Willo3 followed Kelley on the
stand, his statements closely fol
lowing those of the other defend
ant. Under cross-examination by the
district attorney, Willos admitted
firing three shots during the
break, but docJared ho did not aim
at anyone at the time. "Ifired
three shots in the direction)! the
garage," Willos said, "but the
shooting was unconscious. I didn't.
know what I was doing, and I
didn't see anyone to shoot at."
"How many shells did you have
in your revolver when you reached
the state hospital," Mr. Carson
asked.
- "I had two,
But when you were captured
yott had "your gun fully loaded,
didn't you?"
"Yes." Willos replied. "W
found a box of shells later."
The statement inade by the
three convicts at the Newmas
home in New Era was Introduce,
by the state and Willos was in
terrogated on this subject. 1 didn't
sign the entire statement, the de
fendant declared. "I didn't agree
with everything Murray dictated,
and I told him so. I told him I
didn't know whether or not I shot
Holman, as he said, and that I
didn't know whether or not I shot
anyone."
When asked by the prosecution
whether he saw the questions and
answers making up the statement,
Willos said that he had, and that
be had signed It after it was writ
ten. Under questions asked by his
counsel, WWos said that at one
time h was examined by the pris
on physician, and that at that
time the doctor asked him if he
