PRESIDENT
DEFUSES 10
SURRENDER
For First Time in History of
Country, President Returns
Name to Senate After De-
. feat Old Guard Appalled
Senator Butler Declared
Cause of New Strategy.
WASHINGTON, 'Mar. ' 12. Presi
dent Coolldge threw down the gaunt
let to his opponents 'in the senate to
day by again submitting the nomina
tion of Charles H. Warren to be attor
ney general.
Without a word of comment, the
president sent the nomination back
Just in time to have it waiting on the
senate doorstep when the day's ses
sion began at noon.
The decision of the chief executive
astonished most of the "senators, in
cluding the ranking republican lead
ers who had advised the White House
that If returned the nomination of
Wairen would fare no better than
when the senate rejected it on Tues
day by a lie vote. u
Some old timers in the senate
could recall no precedent for the re
turn of a cabinet nomination that al
ready had failed to command a ma
jority. Such a failure itself has not
occurred since the days of Andrew
Johnson and all told there have been
but five previous occasions on which
the senate withheld its approval of
any man chosen by the president to
sit In his officlul family.
Butler Advises Action
It was Senator Butler of Massachu
setts the president's close friend, ele
vated by him to the chairmanship of
the republican national' committee
and recently appointed to the seat
formerly held by Henry Ctibqt Lodge,
who told Mr. Coolldge that the senate
leaders had glvn up too easily. At a
.breakfast conference with the execu
tive and Mr. Warren and himself M.
Butler insisted that the votes for con
firmation could be obtained and
should be obtained.
Mr. Coolldge and the nominee lis
tened attentively to the new presenta
tion of the case. Then the president
turned to Mr. Warren and left it to
him to decide whether the Issue
should bo fought out to a finish or
considered closed.
Mr. Warren decided in favor of a
fight. No sooner had news of the
decision reached the cupltol than the
enemies of the Warren appointment
began preparations to open a battle
they thought they already had won.
Senutors Walsh of Montuna and Heed
of Missouri declared they would make
a resistance even more stubborn than
that which mustered forty votes on
Tuesday's roll call to offset and nulli
fy the forty commanded by the ad
ministration leaders.
. for their part most of the republi
can organization leaders declined to
comment. They said they would
again go through the motions of re
ferring the nomination to committee
and then bring it to the senate floor.
The outcome, they said, could only be
determined by the roll call Itself.
. WASHINGTON, March 12. The
nomination of Charles needier War
ren, to be attorney general will ho
re-submitted to the senate today by
president Coolldge.
I opposition Organizes.
Meantime, the opposition, which
Includes almost the whole democratic
tTnemnershlp of the senate, and a
group of republican insurgents, also
set out to re-orgnnize in such a
way as to again block' senate ap
proval. dent's decision might result In tne
lengthening of tne special session m
the senate, which the leaders had
hoped to end on Saturday.
Upon Its re-submission, the War-
ren: nomination will have to travel
the regular course through the Ju
diciary , committee, which Includes
among Its members some of the
leading opponents of confirmation.
There will be many opportunities to
Interpose delays, should the oppoel
f' tlon decide that sort of strategy od-

GENEVA, March 12. (By the As
sociated Press) No political oration
since the founding of the League
of Nations has stirred opinion in
Jongue circles as the address deliver
ed today by Austen Chamberlain,
the BritUm foreign secretary, utterly
rejecting the Geneva peace proto
col. He not only flayed the protocol,
which he described ns asking for
war rather than peace, but discard
ed the Idea of compulsory arbitra
tion. Mr. Chamberlain affirmed, In ef
fect, that the only "Way of obtain
ing security for nations was conclu
sion of special defensive arrange
ments framed in the spirit of the
covenant and operating under league
guidance.
The comment most often heard
after the speech was that it sets
back the movement for Interna
tional co-operation, and will be
liable, to influence Europe to re
turn to 'the . old. system o dangerous
alliances. '
GENEVA, March 12. (By the As
sociated Press.) Speaking to a cham
ber so closely packed that there was
scarcely breathing space. Austen
Chamberlain, British secretary for for
eign affairs, delivered his long-heralded
discourse on the Geneva protocol
for security and disarmament before
the council of the League of Nations
today.
The most Important feature of Mr.
Chamberlain's address which out
lined the British objections to the
protocol, was added by him at the last
minute. It was that telegraphic com
munication with the British dominions
and India showed that Canada, Aus
tralia. New Zealand, the Union of
South Africa and Indian were also un
nble to accept tho protocol. He said
that he was not yet In possession of the
views of the Irish free state, Mr.
Chamberlain said that successive ad
ministrations in Great Britain, with
tho full approval of the self govern
ing dominions not only had In theory
favored arbitration wlthrh was one of
the features of the protocol, but had
practiced it. They had oot only
preached disarmament, but had ac
tually disarmed to the limit of na
tional -safety. They hnd taken a full
share In creating and supporting the
League of Nations nnd the permanent
court of international Justice.
If, therefore, continued Mr. Cham
berlain, England sny insuperable ob
jections to signing and ratifying the
protocnl In its present shape, this was
not because sho felt herself out of
harmony with the purposes the pro
tocol was Intended to serve.
"Amendment and Interpretation may
I nthemselves be destrnble," he udded,
"but his majesty's government cannot
believe that the protocnl as It stands
provides a suitable method of attempt
ing that task.'

WHY
PACTIS0PP0SED
OREGON STARTS
ARGUMENT IN
SCHOOL ISSUE
Ex-Senator Geo. Chamber
lain Presents , Brief to Su
preme Court On Compul
sory' School Bill Leopold
Case Used As Plea.
WASHINGTON, Mar. 1 2. Tho
states have supreme control over tho
education of children residing within
iholr borders, the state of Oregon said
today in a supplemental reply brief
field In tho United States supremo
court in Its action to sustain Its com
pulsory public school law, by ex
Senator Chamberlain.
The brief said that tho lower court
should have dismissed the action
filed against tho law by the Sisters of
the Holy Names of Jcrus and Mary
and the Hill Military Academy.
"The question of the wisdom of the
Oregon school law is not before this
court," the brief said. It asserted
also that the opposition was devoted
'to arguments which related to the
wisdom of and not the constitutional
ity of the law." Not a decision of the
supreme court has been cited by the
opposition to sustain its contention
that the law Is unconstitutional, the
brief .said.
The brief pays particular attention
to the contention of prlvntte and
charters that they have a property
parochial schools operating under
right which cannot be taken away. It
said in this particular:
"The supreme court has laid down
the doctrine, which it has not aban
doned that the obligation of the char
ter of a corporation was not impaired
by any loss, however serious, which a
corporation might suffer as the Indi
rect result of the exercise of a proper
governmental function by the state
which chartered it.
"No person can claim protection of
the federal constitution on the plea
thnt he is being deprived of his pro J
perty without due process of law be
cause of uny loss which may be suf
fered as an indirect result -of the exer
cise of a proper governmental func
tion by a state, regardless of how cer
tain op how serious this loss may be."
The cry of bolshevism that has been
raised, according to the brief, was
held to be "absurd und unjustifiable."
The killing of Robert Frank, a
Chicago schoolboy by two youths, Na
than Leopold and Richard Loeb,
which was ' brought into the school
controversy by the sisters as illustrat
ing the need of religious and moral
training, brought from the state the
reply that the two culprits had been
educated in private schools.
The supreme court today granted
permission to the North Pacific Union
conference of Seventh Day Adventutts
to file a brief as a friend of the court
in the Oregon school case with the
consent of both sides. The Advent is ts
are conducting thirty-three church
schools within the state, and huve
Jaoined the Episcopal church, also ap
pearing as a friend of the court In at
tacking tho 'law. 1
The churches contend that tho new
statute would deprive private schools
of their natural rights, holding that
parents have a common law right to
direct the education of their children.
The Adventists asserted that Oregon
hnd no right to abrogate the vested
rights of private schools nnd could not
dismiss the' contractural rights of
Kchools incorporated under the laws of
the state. Tho . schdol law was de
nounced as "tho encroachment of
misguided powers upon natural and
innllnenable rights."
WASHINGTON, Mar. 12. "An
alarming increase In the criminality
of the young,' was attributed today In
a brief filed In the supreme court by
the Episcopal church domestic and
foreign missionary society, to the "ex
clusion" of religious influencve in the
public schools of the nation.
The society appeared as a friend of
the court in the suit brought by pri
vate and purocial schools to test the
validity of the compulsory education
laws of Oregon. Should they be sus
tained the brief asserted, there was
danger other states would adopt sim
ilar legislation.

Dr. Hun's experience as a surgeon

noCHEHTKH, N. Y., Mar. 12.
How Dr. Samuel W, Beaven, pastor
emeritus of tho Ijike Avenue Baptist
church here awoke to life after his
family believed him dend and for days
thereafter before death actually oc
curred on Kehruary 2t. "lived In nn-.
other world," was revealed today by
his son. the Itev. Dr. Albert W.
Beaven.
Moved to a wo by the pro f o und
spiritual experiences which he com
municated to them, his wife nnd sons
preserved a written record of all Dr)
Beaven said during the time the con
viction that ho was in another world
remained with him.
J The nccount of tho beauties nnd
jnode of life In "the other world."
that Dr. Beaven Is said to have told
i his family gathered about his bedsido
was not divulged by relatives.
Whether denth In the physical
sense had occurred a week before Is a
question puzzling his relatives today.
"We do not believe that he did
actually die at that time," said his
son today. "But we knew thnt he
hnd a firm conviction thnt he was
going fo die, nnd that he fell Into a
sleep nftor what appeared to be a
period of suspended animation, from
which ho awoke in the belief that he
was In another world.
"The fact that death occurred - or
did not occur, as I see it, did 'hot
alter the' profound spiritual experi
ence that he undoubtedly underwent,
nor does It lessen the spiritual slgnlfl-.
cance of the message he conveyed to
us."
