The world court issue finally was brought before the senate today with im mediate indications that the long and bitter league of nations fight is to be renewed. The chief point of -controversy whether adhesion to the court means affiliation with the league and the forces in the senate are arrayed in much the same fashion they were during the months of struggle; over the covenant. leadership of the forces for adhesion again has fallen to a democrat. Senator Swanson of Virginia, the author of the resolu tion of ratification with the reser vations recommended by Presi dent Harding when he submitted th court proposal in February, 1923, and since approved by Pres ident Coolidge, who also has urged senate action. . Standing in the forefront those opposing the court is Senator Borah, republican of Idaho, chair man o ftlie foreign relations com mittee, who was prominent among the league irreconcilables. Sup porting him are the remnant of that group and a number of new senators on the republican side. Debate was opened today by Senator Swanson with a prepared address reqniring nearly three hours for delivery; He reviewed the genesis of the court and con tended that it was wholly inde pendent of the league, operating under its own statute.

FPI'LKY STORK IS 1!KLI n AT O'CLOCK Between 875 ami 880 Is Taken When Bandit Forces Girl lo Open Register A lone, unmasked bandit held up the C. M. Eppley store at Nine teenth and State streets Thursday evening at 6 o'cloek and escaped with betweeiyJTS and $80 in cash after havntsraubdued two clerks, a bookkeeper and a woman cus tomer by flourishing a revolver and threatening them. sAiter gathering up all the money in, one drawer iJhe cash register.ttae robber ran dom the State street entrance around the corner, 6f NMneteenth and is thought to havi escaped in a waiting automobile. Police have been unable to find any trace of him. The bandit, described as 25 years old, medium build, blue eyes and light complexioned, evi dently waited, for a lull in bnsi ness and entered when only one customer was in the store and when one of the clerks and the delivery driver had left. He en tered the State street door where he encountered -A. . M. Heed, a clerk. Pushing Reed ahead of him with the muzzle of the gunj the robber made his way to tie cash register where Wilber Me Cune, another clerk, and Bernice Mulvey. bookkeeper, were stand ing. Ordering the two men not to move, the bandit forced Miss Mulvey to .open the tills one by one. As each drawer was opened the man sejected what he, wanted from it, not disturbing the checks. Holding his revolver on the two clerks, he scooped the money into hfS ; overcoat pocket, backed, out through the door and turned and ran around the corner. I Little was said by the robber during the holdup, but what he did say was concise and to the point, according to , 'witnesses. Mrs. King, the only custodier in the store, was near the door when the bandit entered. Seeing the revolver prominently displayed, Mrs. King held up her hands. "Keep 'em down; keep 'em down", the bandit ordered Bharp ly. "I don't want any fuss in here." The robbery took only a few seconds and had evidently been planned beforehand. Charles E. Eppley, manager of the store, was not in the building at the time, but believes the same man enter ed the store earlier in the after noon, purchased a package of cigarettes and then walked over. to the cash register where he re ceived his change. In this manner it is thought details of the work ing of the tills were obtained, en abling a swift performance when the holdup took place.
