General Dawes only recognition of the senator's demands and charges was a smile. "Charles G. Dawes lias wrecked tlie republican campaign In the north west,' Senator Ilrookhart declared. "Ho started out like a boldfaced 'plutogog, but his discourtesy and un gentlemanly language quickly reduced him in his own vocabularly tr a 'mere peewit plutogog.' "His 'sulphuretted hydrogen' bank record, as established by the supreme court of Illinois the day he was nom Inted, renders him unfit for the public service and he should be removed as the candidate for his party as Denby and Daugherty were removed from of fice." : Then the senator cbargerl that the general had "under the false pretense ot loyaltyi organized a disloyal group to conduct an Illegal defense of the constitution of the United States with the secret purpose of destroying the constitutional rights) of union labor."

"It is time," he said, "for the re j publican) stato central committee to get busy on the process of purifying the republican ballot." Mr. Brewer's statement continues: "Can any republican now delude himself Into the belief that Brook hart Is supporting or intends to support the republican candidates? His letter doubtless is the prelim inary to an announcement by him of his own support of the LaFol lette ticket Yet he will be found so politically dishonest as to in sist upon his name being printed in the republican column."

"Our nation has developed as the great defender of tho rights of tho individual, private property is the cornerstone of our industrial struc ture.

If the railroads aro taken over by tho government we must face. the fact that the big step in reversing our: old sottled . policy will be taken, and there will be no stopping tho force onco we have let it loose. If there Is no particular reason why the government should not own and run tho railroads, Is thero any reason why it should not take over also the banks, stores, fac tories, farms, until all of us aro gov ernment employes and the ideal of the soviet is attained? "Tho acquisition of tho railroads would add more than $20,000,000,000 to our national debt, already tho largest carried by any nation no longeY in existence than ours." "If government railroads In this country were no more successful than they aro elsewhere in the world, the Interest on that twenty billions of purchns price would bo the cause for additional burdens on tho taxpayers left to carry It. "It would be hard to keep politics from Influencing promotion on gov ernment rnilroads and it would be hard to have expenditures directed I without thought of political expedi ency.

"You won because you deserved to win,' Mr. Coolldge declared. "You bring the laurels from one of the hard est fought contests In all the history ot the nation's game. You have made the national capital more truly the center ot worthy and honorable na tional aspirations." Turning to Manager "Bucky" Harris, the president tendered him on behalf of the citizens of Washington a loving cup with congratulations "on the vic tory already won and every wish for your success in the contest which is still ahead of you."

BASEBALL SCORES NEW PACT FOR PEACE PRESENTED League of. Nations Finishes Protocol Designed to Make War Impossible Marked Concessions Made to Japan Nations Urged to Drop Extreme Nationalism. C.KNKVA. Oct. 1. (liy Associated Press.) The amended draft protocol on arbitration and security was pro senled to tho assembly of the League of Nations for its approval today ac companied by a general report, his torical and analytic in nature, by M. Pout is of u recce, and Dr. 1 tenet of Czecho-Sluvakia, official reporters for the two commissions which Jointly framed tho document. The special chapters aro devoted to condemnation of aggressive war, com pulsory jurisdiction of the world court of justice, strengthening of pacific methods of procedure, the domestic jurisdiction of states, all features of the protocol. The conclusion of the report which fills twenty printed pages, contains observations of a gen eral nature. "Our purpose." says the report, "was to make war impossible to kill it to annihilate It. The plan drawn up leaves no loophole; it prohibits wars of every description nnd lays down tho rule that all disputes shall be settled by pacific means.' If the smallest opening wero left for any measure of force the whole system would collapse, it adds, and to this end arbitration is provided for every kind of depute nnd agression Is defined in such a way as to give no cause for hesitation when tho council of the league has to take a decision. No tKscniM Allowed Tho reporters declare that these reasons led the trainers of tho proto- (cal to fill in the gaps in the definite sanctions in such a way that no pos sible means could be found for evad ing them and thnt thero would bo a sound, definite basis for a feeling of security. "Tho pence of tho world Is at stake," continues the re pin t. "Tho fifth asfembly has undertaken a work of win Id-wide importance, which, if it succeeds, is destined profoundly to modify present po litical conditions. If wo succeed tho League of Nations wifT have rendered inestimable service to tho whole modern world," Tho report ends by begging tho as sembly to examine the proposals with care and to recommend them to the vurlous governments for acceptance. Tho problem of tho dmncstin Juris diction of states raised by tho Jap anese delegation is treated at great length. Insistance is made that the protocol in no way derogates tho rule of articlo XV of the covenant, which protects national sovereignty hut that "in order that no doubt may exlHt it appoars ndvhmblc to say so expressly." Nevertheless while tho principle of articlo XV of tho covenant is main tained, M. Politis and Dr. llcnes ox plain that it has boon found necessary in order to make its application more flexible to call in aid the rule of ar ticle XI of the covenant which makes it the league's duty In event of war to take any action deemed wise and effective to safeguard peace and obli gates tho secretary general to sum mon a meeting of the council at the request of any league member. Thus, the reporters say. when It has been recognized that a dispute arises out of a matter solely within tho do mestic Jurisdiction of one of the par ties, that party or its opponent will he fully entitled to call upun the council or assembly to act. Kointrtllng Immigration The report then makes a point deemed by tho jurists to bo of great importance: "Article XI of tho covennnt does not deal with situations which are covered by rulOH of law capable of application by a Judge; it applies only tn cases which aro not yet regulated by international law. Consequently it demon states tho possibilities of loop holes. As an Inducement to sci ence,, to clear the ground for tho work which the League of Na tions will have to undertake with a view to bringing about through development of the rules of Inter national law, a closer reconcilia tion between the individual Inter ests of its members and tho uni versal interests whic hit is de signed to serve." This Is deemed to bo another way of saying that many problems now claimed to be domestic In nature are really international and that this cato- gory might Include social problems like immigration, equitable treatment for foreigners and other matters al luded to though not specifically men tioned, not only by the Japanese, but alRo by the Italians. In a sense it Is regn riled as reiteration of the Idea that the tlnie is arriving when stntes must be willing to curb state' sover eignty In the common Interest of all countries.

Osborne, special prosecutor, stated the case It expects to prove against Ho laml Pothler, on trial In federal tils-,-trlct court here for tho murder of Major Alexander Cronkhite. "Major Cronkhite died from a bul let wound," Mr. Osborne declared in Ids opening statement. "Wo will show that it would have been physically Impossible for this wound to have been solf-lnfllcted, either by accident or design. Thero wero only two men present at tho time, Pothler and Hub ert Hosenbluth. One of the two, Pothler has slnco confessed ho fired the fatal shot at tho Instigation of tho other. 'On theso grounds we will ask tho Jury to convict tho defendant, Pothior, of murder in, the first degree," Mr. Osborne told of the assignment of Pothler and Captain Holiort Hosen bluth to the 213th engineers, Cronk hlte's regiment, and of the order given tho organisation for a prautico march on October 25, liIS. Borrowed Kovolver "Pothler left the camp with Cronk hite, before leaving he borrowed a revolver frofn Sergeant Cook," ho stated. "When Major Cronkhite Joined tho regiment he assumed com mand from Captain Hosenbluth. They followed a very narrow trail through a dense forest to tho place of Major Oronkhite's death." Interost in the court room bocamo intense as Mr. Osborne reached. this point in his story. Spectators and at torneys leaned forward in tholr seats, trying not to miss a word, oven Po thler looked up and shifted his posi tion slightly, tho only time he moved during tho long recital. "Tho place of Major Crnnkhlte's death," resumed Mr. OHbornc, "was close to an abandoned farm. When a short distance from this farm. Cap tain Hosenbluth halted the company, or had it halted by Pothior. Major Cronkhite, Pothler and perhaps Hosenbluth turned Into the driveway leading to this farm. Immediately they were lost to sight of tho main body of troops. They had been out of sight from ono to five minutes, when four shots wore heard by tho company. In a moment or two Cap tain HosculUuth, who was certainly with the oilier two by this time, camo to tho trail and called for n doctor.

Tho sergeant nlso discovered tho bullet wound, lie will testify that tho bullet holo In tho shirt was clean and that no blood showed nn the outside of the clothing. At tho time this wound was made thero wero only two persona present, Po thler and Hosenbluth. "After this various things hap pened," ho continued. 'Theso caused Major General Adalbert Cronkhito, on his roturn from franco to make an Invostlgatfon on his own account. Ilo had a post-mortem examination made of his son's body. Tho doctors who mado this and an expert on .small arms will tostify hero that tho wound could not possibly have boen self inflicted cither by accident or design." Pothler and Hosenbluth had testi fied, at tho first Inquiry, that Major Cronkhite, In violation of every mili tary rule, had decided to engsgo in a little prlvato target practice, that ho used a tobacco can for a target, fired at It thrco times, hitting It once and that on raising his pistol for a fourth shot it was accidentally discharged causing tho wound from which ho died. stock and bond sales In th state.
