DEADLOCK Washington, Jan. 13. — Assuranges that democratic and republican sena- tors were united in endeavoring to end the senate treaty deadlock and to avoid carrying the treaty issues into the coming political campaign were given Senators Lodge of Massa- chusetts and Hitchcock of Nebraska, republi and acting democratic leaders, respectively, today to spokes- men of tions claiming 1o rep- resent 20,000,000 people desirous of carly ratification of the treaty. The two leaders were visited sepa- rately at the capitol by more than a score of representatives of various or- | ganizations, includinf societies work ing for ratification of the peace frea- ty, 1aboT Wifons, church and other re- ligious societies, and agricultural and educational bodies. The calls on the senate leaders followed a meeting to urge immegdiate ratification of the treaty with such reservations as may be necessary to secure the requisite two-thirds vote. Senator Lodge told the delegation that he would be “giad” to consider any modifications of the treaty: reser- vations which the democratic minor- ity might present and that there was heing evinced “a general desire” to dispose of the trealy promptly so as to avert its injection into the elec- tions. Republicans and democrats in ing “to reach a common ground” with that end in view. y Calling at the office of Senator Hitcheock, the delegation was told by the acting democratic leader and by Senator Smith, democrat, Georgia, of the efforts being made on the demo- about prompt ratification.

SCHOTT VINDICATED BY JURY OF MURDER CHARGE Louisville, Ky, Jan. 13.—Dr. Cliris- topher G. Schott, Touisville physician, whom the Jefferson county grand jury today refused to indict on the charge of murder, feels that his theory that Elizabeth Griffith, his office girl, shot and killed herself had been vindicated. “Truth will prevail” he is quoted as having said when the grand jury's re- port was read in court. “I have never worried about the case,” he added. “I always thought everything would come out all right. Of course, I'feel grati- fied at this.complete vindication.” The view of Mrs. Jonn Griffith, mother of the dead girl, was that her daughter did not commit ‘suicide. | “There is another and higher court she said, “and as sure as there is a God in heaven the guilty will be pun- ished.” A feature of the case not without interest was the statement of court officials that if the suicide theory, sub- sequently is rejected, the testimony taken at the present inquiry may be submitted to future grand juries, Such action is regarded as remote, however, and the grand jury's action today in returning no bill of indictment ap- parently closes a case which has stir- red Louisville since the body of the girl, with a bullet through the heart, was found in the physician's office three weeks ago, Dr. Schott is 41 years old and unmar- ried. Miss Griffith was 17 and was his office assistant. Testimony at Dr. Schott's” preliminary trial indicated that they had been engaged to be married. Later, it was shown, the en. gagement had been broken and Miss | Griffith had engaged herself to Cap- tain George K. Jordan, an army of- ficer at Camp Zachary Taylor. Df. Schott, it was brought out, advocated a trial marriaze between Miss Grif- fith and Jordan on the theory, as he stated, that she would within a few months be. willing to return to him and make a good wife, FATE OF HARRY NEW IN HANDS OF THE JURY Los Angeles, Calif. Jan. 13—Dis- trict Attorney T. L.

Kahn, New York Banker, Says It is a Great Factor in Present Economic Disturbance. New York, Jan. 13.—Revision of the federal income tax law, to bring the ley 2 “within the bounds of modera- tion” and afford relief “in the present era of economic disturbance,” was urged in an address here tonight by Otto H. Kahn, New York banker. Speaking before the council on for- eign relations, Mr. Kahn declared the three chief factors in upsetting pres- ent-day economics were the world's demand for America’s raw materials and manufactured articles, inflation, and faulty taxation. The world's de- mands for American materials and services will slacken gradually, he said; the cure for inflation is a &low process, “but the remedy for faulty taxation can be secured at once when- ever it pleases congress and the ad- ministration to seek that remedy and apply it Citing an extreme instarice in which a.w.person in the highest taxable class would have to make nearly 17 per cent. with a corporate security or in his business to get the same return he wauld receive by investing in a tax- free municipal, state or federal bond, Mr. Kahn reached these conclusion: No bond—foreizn or domestic- n compete with the attractiveness of tax-exempt bonds to those in posses- sion of incomes of any considerable size. The owners of medium, sized large incomes have gone on &tri far as investing in corporate and concerns. thus great the quantity of funds available for private enterprise JOHNSON WOULD SUBMIT PEACE TREATY TO PEOPLE and e as ies . New York, Jan. 13—Senator Hiram hnson of California declared in an address at Brooklyn tonight that he would accept the challenge of Presi- dent Wilson to take ratification of the peace treaty to the people of the rountry. | “I don’t care whether republican leaders accept this zage of battle or not” he said. “For one; I accent the issue, and, so far as T can, upon it I shall go to the people’ of the United States. A subject which deals so in- timately ‘with the treasure and blood of the average American is a_subject upon which he has the right to ulti- mate decision. Politicians upon one side or the other may seck to avoid this issue, hut I say to you with all solemnity, if the politicians on_ both sides unite with absolute unanimity in hiding this subject and endeavoring. to prevent i scussion. the American people themselves will wrest it from the. politicians and themselves decide it.” After reiterating his advocacy of the treaty with _ reservations Senator Johnson issued a_warning against the suppression of free speech and the K a0 and jright of assemblage. FEvery “infringe- as such punishable by life imprison- | ment of e Taw Shourd o arstically ment or death. The case went to the jury muchs cooner than had been expected large- ly because of the shortening of argu- ment by defense counsel. The ict attorney charged the defense with trickery in that the den change in its procedure left him unprepared. Mr. Woolwine declared there was na foundation for the Gefense contention of insanity. He characterized the de- fense of insanity as a “last ditch de- fense,” employed by cuilty men who have nothing else to advance in their behalf, The prosecutor shortly before he closed placed a picture of Miss Lesser on the attornev’s table close to the Jury and alsa showed it the revolver with which New is alleged to have murdered the girl, and articles of bloody clothing she haq worn. This brought bitter protest from Lecompte Davis, leading defense counsel, MAYFLOWER DESCENDANTS IN NEW YORK CELEBRATE New York, Jan. 13—The twenty-fifth anniversary of the founding of the Society of Mayflower Descendants was observed tonight at a dinner heid in the Waldorf-Astoria, which was at- tended by more than 500 persons.

Your task and mine. indeed, that of the- republican pa is to prevent the consummation of cither wicked design, safely to pro- ceed’ on our way between reaction on the one hand and ultra-radicalism on the_other. “The preacher of wiilence and the public advocate of the bomp and the torch must be drastically dealt with under the law and by the law’s pro- cedure punished for its violation. But the right of any citizen within the law to express his views and beliefs is as sacred as the right of proverty itself, and must be as zealously guarded. The reaction which would prevent legiti- mate free speech, which would make zovernment the mentor of men's Tonest_opinions, spells in itself revo- lution.” CHAIRMAN HAYS ADDRESSES WOMEN IN SAN FRANCISCO San Francisco, Calif, Jan. 13.—Af- ter a day devoted by the men dele- gates to personal conferences with Will H.
