Delegates Speculate as
To Effect of New Treaty
Planls Upon Candidates
Chicago, June 10. News of the agreement of the resolutions
committee of the convention on a League of Nations plank start
ed lively speculation whether the chances of any presidential can
didate would be aided or injured by the adjustment. The gener
ally expressed first impression was that it would affcet none of
them except perhaps Senator Johnson. He immediately hailed it
as a victory for the principles he had advocated but it was point
ed out that it probably would remove the opportunity which many
delegates thought he wanted for impassioned debate on the sub
ject on the convention tioor,
Lowden, Wood, Butler and Harding
headquarters refused to issue any sta
tement at once on the plank.
Senator Crane withheld comment,
but Ogden Mills of New York who has
forked with him, said Mr. Crane was
"perfectly satisfied."
Crane Planw Modified.
Senator Borah, a leader of the Irre
concilables, said his side had secured
omission of many provisions in another
text submitted yesterday by Mr. Mills
the Crane plank.
It Is understood there is io specific
mention of the league of nations, but.
there is Infrential reference to It in a
denunciation of the course of fnt.
preside! in the conduct of foreign at
tains, in which he is blamed for failure
to consult the senate. The senate was
commended for its course with refer
, ence to the general subject without
differentiating in regard to the views
o Mlferent groups of senators.
Johnson Satisfied.
The provision makes specific decla
ration in favor of the support of all
American obligations and announces
the determination of the court which
irould devote Itself to the promotion of
justice among nations wtlhput commlt
. ting the countryto entangling alliances.
Senator Johnson talked with news
papermen while waiting for details of
the reported agreement on a treaty
"plank. He repeated his statement that
as already reported to him the settle
ment was "a tremendous victory for
Americanism, and an overwhelming
defeat for Internationalism and inter
national bankers."
Hnnkdr Control Charged.
"You realize that there are certain
international bankers here determined
not alone to write a platform for the
republican party but also to nominate
Its president," he continued. "They
have been whipped on the first object;
it Is to be hoped they will be defeated
on the second.
"I am told that the matter has been
nettled; that no decision has been
made faovrable to the league of na
tions and that the platform will decare
for American foreign policies In har
mony with those of Washington and
Monroe. I understand there is no men
tion of the league In the plank."
Change In County
Officers' Terms Is
Proposed In Bill
Initiative petitions proposing a
change in the term of county clerks,
sheriffs, coroners and surveys from
two to four years was filed with the
secretary of state's office here this aft
ernoon by Herbert R. Dewart of Port
land and R. J. Greene of La Grande.
The petitions contain more than ten
thousand signatures or approximately
a thousand more than is required to
secure for the measure a place on the
(allot next November.

Plan to Ballot
Tonight Loses;
Wood Opposed
Coliseum, Chicago, June 10. When
the republican convention resumed its
session this afternoon, an agreement
was pending said to have the approval
of the various managers, to dispose of
th9 platform report and then adjourn
until 9 o'clock tomorrow morning with
the understanding that all the nomi
nating speeches and the balloting for
president would be finished before the
convention adjourned again.
There had been a plan to run under
forced draught tonight and besides
disposing of the platform, finish all
the nominating speeches and take one
ballot for president before adjourning
the evening session. Frank H. Hitch
cock, field marshal of the Wood forces
however, objected to that plan be
cause, he snid, he expected General
Wood to poll hla minimum of votes on
the first balolt, and he did not want
the voting stopped at that Juncture.
Four o'clock ,the hour for reconven
ing passed and the conventlpn was not
in order and there was to attempt to
call it to order because word had come
that the resolutions committee was not
ready to report on the platform.

Investigators Exonerate
Todd of Blame for Frauds
Perpetrated by Byron
Notwithstanding the fact that the
timber location v contracts made by
various Salenl people with Carlos L.
Byron expired May 27, the timber land
has not been delivered, nor has the
money been refunded and there Is lit
tle prospect of the 138 Salem victims
receiving the J60.000 or $70,000 ad
vanced or realizing their dreams of be
coming timber barons. Byron, the
"party of the first part" is serving two
sentences at McNeil's island federal
penitentiary for using the malls to de
fraud and sentence is yet to be im
posed upon a third conviction, while
numerous Indictments are pending on
various counts. Inasmuch as the Sa
lem operations were not negotiated
through the malls, Byron may escape
federal prosecution, though it is re
ported an attorney has been retained
to bring suit to recover the money ad
vanced by certain victims.
There Is Just one chance of thi Sa
lem victims receiving baok something
of their Investment regarded by
many as a hundred to one shot. Byron
has deeded to the committee on re
covery, headed by John W. Todo,
copper mining claim in the Okanogan
country Thlg prospect has been par-
tlally deevloped and there Is a chance
to bond the same. It adjoins a prom
ising mine, and If the latter proves a
profitable property; there will be a
market for the Byron claim. If the
claim Is bonded and theensulng devel
opment proves It a real mine, there If
un excellent chance of recovering the
money advanced Byron. -
At a meeting of the Rotary club yes
terday,. a report was made by a com
mittee which Investigated the transac
tion. The commute was headed by T.
E. McCroskey, who examined the mine
and secured Rn abstract of the proper
ty. Tho report exonerated Mr. Todd,
who proved to have been victimized
along with other investors, but who
has exerted every energy to recover
the money Invested with Byron, whom
he had introduced to Salem, ignorant
of his record, and acting in good faith.
Th oiglnal contracts given by Byron
stipulated definite location of timber
claims, which he represented were
open to entry, the original entries hav
ing been cancelled for fraud. He rep
resented that he had sub-rosa connec
tions with the general land office,
whereby the locations he placed would
be rushed to paent. His location fee

locations he charged 11000 half being
paid in advance, the balance when
patent was Isnued.
At a meeting of Investors held Jan
uary 2" then contracts which ran a
year, were surrendered to Byron, in
exchange for a four months' contract
expiring May 27. HpMily action was
the bait offered to secure exchange,
though no definite land was stipu
lated, as in the original agreement,
merely a promise to fumUh Informa
tion, under which Itjs hard to se how
recovery of money could be secured or
damages recovered. These contracts
read as follows:

Root Plank
Summarized
The Root plank was summar
ized by a member of the sub
committee as follows:
"The plank is a condemna
tion of the action of the presi
dent, both in his negotiation of
the treaty of peace and the
league and in his insistence up
on Its acceptance without
change by the senate.
"It Is a complete ratification
of the action of the republican
senators, without distinguish
ing between either group. It
pledges the country to a con
tinuation of the policies of
Washington, Madison and Mon
roe, and also to a fulfillment of
all its International obligations
by the establishment of Interna
tional courts for the promulga
tion of rules of lnternatiopal
law and conduct, and suggests
that future wars be made im
possible by the establishment of
laws and agreements whereby
all International controversies
may be settled by International
agreements.
"The plank makes no men
tion of disarmament. The lea
gue of nations Is not specifical
ly mentioned."
Plank Leaves
United States
Free Says Borah
Chicago, June fO. The compro
mise plank was described by Senator
nnrnh as establishing these three prht
ciples for which the irreooncilables
had contended:
Omission of any pledge for ratlfl -
cation.
Commendation of the senate for re-
fusing to ratify.
A statement that any future league
must be in. accord with American
Ideals and with the principle of
Washington.
Chairman Watson said in his opin
ion the treaty plank would not aid
nor Injure any of the candidates.
-The final problem of the sub-committee
was that regarding prohibition
the question being revived.
The Mexican plank, It was stated,
was agreed upon with little difficul
ty. Members of the sub-commlttee
said It was a strong declaration for
protection of American life and prop
erty In Mexico, but more moderate
than the plank proposed by Senator
Fall of New Mexico.
The sub-ocmmittee's action today
regarding prohibition, members said,
was refusal to Incorporate the plank
proposed by William Allen 'White,
Jasper M. Gulliford. a pioneer o
Lane county, ta dead at the age of 7S
years. He settled In the Mohawk val
ley In 152.
Settlement Acceptable to Everybody
Removes Threat of Split; Senate Is
Supported In Anti-Treaty Positio:
Chicago, June 10. A League of Nations plank declared by
leaders to be "acceptable to everybody" was unanimously adopted
today by the republican resolutions sub-committee apparently
ending all threat of a party spli$ over the league issue.
The plank upholds the senate in re
fusing to ratify the treaty of Versailles,
declares that any future International
Plank Adopted.
' Chicago, June 10 The trea
ty plank was adopted by the
resolutions committe with only
one vote against it
peace understanding must square with
American traditions and omits the af
firmation declaration for a league
which had been urged by the mild res
ervatlonlsts. Root Drafted Plunk.
Originally drafted weks ago by Ell
hu Root, the plank was revised at an
all-night series of conferences and was
adopted by the sub-committee after
Senator Lodge of Massachusetts, re
publican senate leader, had appeared
In the 'committee room and declared
if the mild reservation proposal were
accepted he would go on the conven
tion floor and fight It.
The plank was said by the sub-committee
members to be wholly accept
able tp former Senator Crane of Mas
sachuetts, loader for the mild reserva
tion group, and Its acceptance remov
ed the only obstacle to speeding to a
conclusion the work of the national
convention. The completed platform
was to be taken to the convention floor
late In the afternoon and It was said a
night session n.tght be called to begin
the hearing of nominating speeches.
Johnson Rr juices.
Shortly before noon the work of the
sub-committee was completed and
members said they thought there
would be no barrier to a prompt ao
ceptance of tls platform draft by the
full resolutions committee.
. Senator Johnson declared today
thnt in the contest over the plntform
section on the lengue of nations the
"first assault of Internationism and In
ternational bankers on the republcan
party had been met ftM defeated." It
t..id been charged by the. Johnson
Borah group that the Crane, plnnk
"had Its birth In Wall street."
Nlirlit Scwdon Llkifly.
There would be a "seoond assault"
by the same forces. Senator Johnson
asserted with the object of nominating
a candidate, which he "hoped would
be met and defeated" but he addeu
! that If the reports on the platform de
cision reaching him were correct It
would not be necessary to take his
league fight to the convention floor.
Although the sub-committee also ap
proved today the Mexican and Armen
ian planks, they decided to spend the
day in putting the platform Into final
shape and to submit it to the full com
mittee at 4 p. m. It also was suggest
ed that the convention might hold
night session to approve the platform
and poslbly begin work on nomina
tions. Agreement Sudden
The agreement came as sudder'y
today as .ltd yesterday's crlsU, when
the irreconcilable made an open
threat to leave the party if the plank
offered by Senator Crane indorsing
the league with rjtjrv.itlons were
adopted.
Mr. 'Mills and Senato HmoJt tmifht
Senator Bonn 1ut us hi was i'.i:r
ing the sub-committee room, ana the
throe mat down on a couch outside
and put their heads together over the
Root proposition. Mr. Mills took the
lead In urging the Idaho senator to
accept. '
At first Senator Borah was obdur
ate, though he said the principle was
acceptable. Pressed for an accept
ance, he protested that none was
more anxious than he for harmony,
reminding his conferees that an agree
ment would mean as much to him
personally as to any man in the con
vention. Conference Sliort
Encouraged, Senator Bmoot and
Mr. Mills took Senator Borah to a
nearby room where they were Joined
bv Senator Lodge and Senator Mc-
Cormlck of Illinois, another irrecon-
cllable mernber of the suo-commiuee.
In fifteen minutes the agreement had
; been reached within the half hour
the Root plank had been given unan-
; imous approval by the sub-commtttee
It Is understood that in touching Up
the literary polish of the plank, Col
onel Oearge Harvey helped the sub
committee members. Senator Lodge

The tentative draft also condemned
