Misunderstanding, Berlin View
AMSTERDAM, July 8.?The "Tage?
blatt," of Berlin, commenting to-day
on the conference at Spa between rep?
resentatives of the Allied powers and
Germany, says:
"The speech of Gessler [the Ger?
man Minister of Defense] led to the
misunderstanding that he would not
be willing to execute the treaty, while
the speech of Fehrenbach [the Ger?
man Chancellor]?made the impression
upon Premier Lloyd George that the
Chancellor would fill up time with
promises. The British Premier in?
tends to go straight to the point and
the Germans must Accommodate them?
selves to this and work methodically."
The "Freiheit," the organ of the In?
dependent Socialists, says: "The atti?
tude of the German government is
constantly endangering the negotia?
tions."
Premier Grabski of Poland arrived
in Spa to-day. He expressed confi?

nounced by Chairman
CHICAGO.. July 8.?The present pros- i
pect is that the Prohibition party will !
nominate a Presidential ticket in its
national convention at Lincoln* Neb.,
beginning July 21, says Virgil G. Hin
shaw, chairman of.the Prohibition Na?
tional Committee.
"Both the Republican and Demo?
cratic parties, by omitting a plank in?
dorsing trie Eighteenth Amendment,
have dismally failed in living up to the
standards demanded by the American
teoplc in forty-five states," said Mr.
Hinshaw, in a formal statement. "We !
of the Prohibition party consider it in-1
cumbent upon us to maintain a party j
organization to give expression to the ;
millions of dry voters in the country.";
For the iirst time in the history of a !
Prohibition National Convention, one
of the "sessions will be given over to a
law-enforcement mass meeting. An?
other new feature of the 1920 conven?
tion will be the discussion of world
prohibition. "Woman's Hour" is the
theme of a third session. Aaron Wat
kins, of Germantown, Ohio, as tempo?
rary chairman, will make the keynote
address.

sored by Detroit men interested in
aeronautics, has purchased a large
tract of land and is proceeding wiih
construction work on a $2,000,000 club !

uated in Oakland County, about
twenty miles northwest of Detroit.
Cost is reported to have been 8750,000.
Construction work on hangars de?
signed t.o accommodate twenty planes
i.s under way. Landing fields are be?
ing laid out. One of the buildings has
already' been converted into n club?
house. Landing harbors for hydro-|
planes on each of the lakes aro in- ?

Defiant Venireman Is
Given Scathing Rebuke j
A scathing rebuke was given to Irv-1
i?g Maddaus, exporter, of 121 Lincoln i
Place. Brooklyn, when he appeared be- j
fore County judge McDermott yester-1
day and announced that he was willing j
to serve as a juror. Maddaus walked i
out of court Wednesday after announc- j
ing that he would not serve because
he was "too busy" and would pay a fine ?
before ho would sit. Docility replaced ?
the defiance when he appeared yester- j
day.
"You were insulting and insolent," ?
Judge McDermott told Maddaus. "You >?
are a disgrace to the community. You j
are the kind that takes advantage of >
the protection of our laws and reaps
the benefits of our government, but is !
unwilling to render service as a citi- !
zei!. You hove not offended me, but
you have offended the law."
: Maddaus insisted that he had been
under a misapprehension and that he
was willing to serve.
"I do not consider ybu fit to be a
juror." the court rebuked him. "You
cannot serve on any jury before me."
Then the court fined Maddaii3 $50
for contempt of court and $25 for each
of the two days he failed to appear
for examination. !

SPA, July 7 (Delayed).?Premier
Millerand, in an interview after the sec?
ond session with the Germans to-day
said that the solidarity of the Alli?e
governments was proving the dominanl
factor in forcing the representatives o?
the Berlin government to accede to de
mands for the enforcement of the treaty
This unity wil/ be reinforced at th<
financial congress to be held at Brusseli
on July 23, the Premier said, by th<
addition of representatives of the Unite?
States government.
"I always considered the attitude o
j the Germans at these conferences of les
? importance than an agreement amonj
| the Allies," he said. "If. the Allies ar
j in accord, the Germans will do what w
i want. If not, we cannot make them re
| spect the treaty.
"My impression by th?3 time is. tha
j they have a pretty good idea that th
? Allies have a concerted plan and propos
? to follow it. On the first day, when th
Question of disarmament was brough
up. the Germans, whether voluntarily o
not, pretended they were not ready. Th
'?Allies replied, 'Very well; we will wai
; until you are ready, and then begin th
conversations.' On that first day th
Germans said thev had absolute nee
for 100,000 men, further stating tha
they were unable to give a date withi
which ''they could disarm. We said w
would' give them twenty-four hours i
which to make proposals.
"The following day Ihey changed thei
tone. They not only brought a plan, bt
they gave dates for the disarmamen
The Germans were again evasive of tr
question of their figures, which did n(
agree with those of the Allies, but the
produced some kind of plan and name
dates of sorts. They did yesterday.whi
they refused to do the day before.
"Their figures differ widely from our
and military experts ave cxaminin
these questions.
"The Germans asked fifteen months i
which to reduce their army to 100,0(
and destroy war material. Wo will coi
suit our experts and. giv% them a rep
to-morrow. What impresses me mo
during the negotiations so far is th;
the Allies have shown themselves to 1
united, and to be continuing along tl
road on which they started. We ha'
every reason to be satisfied.
"The conference now will probab
discuss the question of reparations la
on the agenda, and after the coal que
tion the issue will be the disposition

be admitted to the Danzig discussior
I see no reason now why the Spa ?o

Wants to Quit Scullery
Youth Asks for Part of Inherit?

Moses Aronsou. an eighteen-year-old
pupil at the University of California,
appealed to Surrogate Cohalan yester?
day to save him from the necessities
of walking back to Berkeley, Calif., and
washing dishes to pay his way through
the next college term.
Julius Aronson, father of Moses, died
April 29, lyl9, leaving his son $15,000
on condition that he remain steadfast
in the Jewish faith and ?marry a girl
of his own religion. The youth, in his
application for $300 a year'allowance
during the remainder of his ?scholastic
course, says lie has no intention of dis?
obeying his father's commands, but
that he has no way of telling when he
"will enter the state of matrimony.
He suys it was his father's wish tlAt
he have a good education and vhat last
year he had to get a job washiugdishes
to defray his expenses at Berkeley.
Surrogate Cohalan took the matter
under advisement.

Hobson Urges
Cox State His
Views on Liquor
?7Cont!nu?d from ptge one)
tho automobile as a kitchen table, the
Presidential nominee proceeded to rub
salt on each chop,' and when he had !
fitted twenty-one of them into the con?
trivance and closed it by pushing an
iron loop down over the handles he
sprinkled both sides with pepper. j
Then with all the solemnity of a,
Druid priest with a living sacrifice,he j
proceeded to the fire and carefully
deposited on the dull embers the |
broiler with its cargo of red chops, j
The Governor by that time had caused
his guests to swear not to quote him
on anything.to say during the pasture
picnic, but it is im breach of faith to
say that he indicated the chop? should
be turned from time to time and that
he purposed to do this, using a kitchen
towel to protect the gubernatorial
hands.
It may be said on unimpeachable
authority that the nominee believed the
potatoes would be done in forty-five
minutes. Sandwicher, of minced ham
that not so many months ago had been
wandering around on four Duroc-Jer
sey legs in this same pasture were \
brought out of the flivver and placed j
on a co.uple of packing cases that were !
there to do duty as a table. These
were wrapped in tissue paper, a touch
supplied by Mrs. Cox Who had made
the sandwiches at Trail's End, the Cox
home, just outside of Dayton.
A black and white Holstein cow
came down to the creek to cool her
hoofs in the muddy water, and it was
learned that she is milked three times
daily and gives six gallons of milk.
The chops were cooked beautifully j
by this time, and a score of noses ac- I
customed to scent news, and this in- ;
eluded the sharp i^ose of the proprietor ?
of ''The Dayton New:%" were used for :
no other purpose than to sniff the !
smoke that sizzled from the chops.
Then the embers were kicked aside !
and Governor Cox proceeded to dig
out his potatoes, which were served
with the sand clinging to their burst?
ing skins.
When all the food had disappeared
some one nominated the Governor for
president of the Pasture Club, but he
declined and accepted a nomination as
club cook, and nominated for president
the only woman in the party, Miss
Marjorie Wilson, a Cleveland news?
paper writer.
After that the Governor displayed
Mollie and Kate, his span of prize bay
mules; also a snortinar Holstein bull
v/ho complained with loud bellows
against being shut up in the largest
barn in Ohio. Abe, the black *nd
brown sheep dop, was in dissrrace for
having waded in the creek and then
shaken himself on the picnic. He had
also received a "bawlin?.: out" from the
Governor for chasing a big red hog
around the pasture.
Works in Wheat Field
On the way back to town the Gov-1
ernor stopped in his wheat field to :
watch the tractor-drawn reaping ma- '?
chine at work, and, becoming inter?
ested, shocked some of the sheaves.
The way back to Dayton lay past
that pool in Elk Creek where fourteen
year-old Jimmy Cox was baptized by
total immersion in the United Brethern
Church about thirty-six years ago. In
the little village of Jacksonburg the
Governor looked again at the site of
the haunted house that he was afraid
to pass, and across the road at the site
of a saloon that his mother wouldn't
let him pass.
The old farmhouse, where the Gov?
ernor spent his boyhood, hating farm
life because of its drudgery, has been
! restored by him, even to the old smoke
blackened crane from which his grand?
mother used to suspend the pot in
which was cooked the day's meat.
It was learned to-day that Governor
Cox has had several long distance tele?
phone conversations with Secretary
! Tumulty at Washington.' The calls
! were put in by the President's secre
| tary. The nominee, feeling that he is
I the titular .head of the Democratic
! party, wants to see President Wilson,
I the actual head.
lie has had many invitations to
j speak, but will make no engagements
until he has conferred with the sub?
committee of the pemocratic National
Committee, which is expected here
soon. He also expects Franklin Koose
? velt, his running mate, to stop in Day
? ton on his way East from the con
? vent i on.
The Governor said to-day that when
I he was about fourteen years old he
| marched in the Blaine Republican pro
: cessions, carrying a torchlight and
? wearing an oilcloth cape. Warren G.
! Harding, the Republican nominee, also
| marched in the Blaine demonstrations
' at Marion. But he was a bit older and
j sported a gray stovepipe hat.

Vote in Georgia
Lowden Campaign Manager
Tells Senate Committee
His Own Expenditures in
the State Were $20,000
Fund Gave Him $9,000
Conditions in the South
Were Controlled by Ad?
ministration, He Asserts
CHICAGO, July 8.--The Senate com?
mittee . investigating campaign ex?
penditures completed its work in Chi-,
cago to-day by examining Henry Lin?
coln Johnson, negro Republican Na?
tional Committeeman from Georgia
and manager of the Lowden campaign
in that'state.
The committee,departed to-night for
St. Louis, where it will resumo its
hearings. ?
Expenditures in behalf of Attorney
Gential A. Mitchell Palmer, who was a
candidate for the Democratic nomina?
tion fox President, are scheduled for
investigation at to-morrow's session,
and nearly a score of witnesses, includ?
ing Edward Goltra, Democratic Na?
tional Committeeman, and Joseph T.
Davis, both of St. Louis, have been
subpoenaed.
Reports that Goltra paid $3,000 to
delegates for expenses to the State Con?
vention, which was responsible for the
oustirig of Senator Reed from his Na?
tional Convention seat, were said by
committee members to be one subject
which will be investigated.
Press dispatches from San Francisco
to-day showed that Goltra and Davis
are. still there, but Senator Kenyon
said the committee would begin its in?
quiry into Mr. Palmer's campaign re?
gardless of whether Goltra and Davis
are present.
Johnson Says He Got $9,000
Johnson, in his testimony to-day. con?
firmed the statement of the Lowden
treasurer that he had received $9,000
from the Illinois Governors campaign
chest. He set his own expenditures in
Georgia at $20,000, charged the Wood
supporters had spent $00,000, and also
accused the Democrats of spending
large sums, and buying votes at from
$5 to $5,000 each in local elections.
The committee questioned Johnson
about lynchings in the South end elicit?
ed the statement that negroes who voted
the Republican ticket have "disap?
peared" and never had been heard from
airain.
In Dublin, Ga., during the pre-con
! ven.tion campaign there was "wild use
of money," the witness asserted. "I
spent only $*tJ0 there," he explained,
"but the other fellows spent more than
$2,000.
"The other fellows," he explained,
"were the representatives of Major
General Leonard Wood, while 1 was
working for my national committee
man."
Asked if Wood supporters "bought
delegates," Johnson said he didn't
know, but "they passed out plenty of
jack to the boys. '
Clark L. Grier, fomer postmaster at
Augusta, Ga., was the "pay-off man"
for the Wood people, he said, adding
that Crier worked under direct orders
from Frank Hitchcock, former Post?
master General in the Roosevelt Cabi^'
net.
Paid $5,000 for Votes
Democrats paid from $5 to $5,000 for
??otes in Georgia this year, and "gen?
erally spent more money than,the Re?
publicans," Johnson told the commit?
tee.
"Not one cent given to me was given
to any delegate to the Republican Na?
tional Convention," the witness de?
clared. He said the $9,000 he received
from Illinois was "not from Governor
Lowden himself." He spent $7,000 or
SS.000 of his own money, he added, and
S.a. nnn wn? raised from other sources.
When the witness charged the Demo- ;
crat3 had spent more money than he '
did and had bought votes in local j
elections, Senator Reed, Democrat, in?
terrupted to ask:
"You don't care where you get $9,000,
do you?"
"Not a bit," the witness replied, "but
I would need about $50,000 to combat
some Democratic conditions there."
Senator Kenyon suddenly turned to
the Palmer campaign in Georgia, ask?
ing Johnson if officials of the Depart
mcn of Justice took part in the Attor
General's campaign there.
"Hooper L. Alexander, of Atlanta,
was the leader," Johnson said.
The steam roller in the Republican
National Convention was an "institu?
tion of benevolence" compared with
th? Democratic steam roller in Georgia,
Johnson said, adding that, conditions
there were controlled by the Adminis?
tration.
Lynching? Arc Discussed
Going back to the Wood campaign,
Johnson said National Committeeman
George Bean, of Florida; Captain
Henry Blum, of Savannah, and D. C.
Cole, former postmaster of Atlanta,
"cared nothing about Wood," but were
ordered to "prepar? ? d?l?gation for
Mr. Hitchcock to boss."
Johnson charged that offers of post?
masterships were made openly by Wood
backers to men of influence to set
Wood votes. "Many of the men back?
ing Wood were former postmasters,"
he said.
The committee strayed from the field
of campaign expenditures while ques?
tioning Johnson and discussed subjects
ranging from the percentage of negroes
allowed to vote in Southern States to
lynchings and their causes.
Johnson told the committee that 85
per cent of these negroes were pre?
vented from voting ''by brutal force
and suppression." He said the situa?
tion was summed up in the -following
words, which he attributed to a speech
by Senator Hoke Smith:
"In Georgia no negro is fortunat^
enough to vote, while no white man is
too unfortunate to vote."
Asked about lynchlrtgs in trre South,
Johnson asserted the great trouble was
that white men were allowed to attack
negro girls without punishment.

tification, visited the headqua/ters to j
complete arrangements for the notifi- :
cation ceremonies at Marion July 22. !
Harry M. Daugherty, pre-primary,
campaign manager for Senator Hard?
ing, has invited all the members of the. ;
National Committee, the notification
committee and the executive commit?
tee to dinner with him in the Columbus ;
Athletic Club, Columbus, the night be?
fore the notification. From there the
guests will go by special train to
Marion next morning.
Mr. Daugherty, when asked to-day
about Senator Harding's campaign
plans and what the latter probably will
make the main issues, said such mat?
ters rested solely with the candidate, j
Belief was expressed that the Sena- ;
tor's front porch campaign would prob
ably be abandoned for a few weeks j
when the campaigning become.-? more '?
intense. Mr. Daugherty told of having j
received no fewer 'han 300 insistent '
demands thvouerhout the nation askinsr i
that Senator Harding take a "swing
around the circle/' Mr. Hays is also a
recipient of as many more requests
that Senator Harding take the stump.
"When the iront porch campaign was
decided upon,'' said Mr. Daugherty,
"we didn't bind ourselves to it. We
will make it a home campaign as much
as possible, but we stand ready to meet
conditions as they arise. Requests pile
in daily asking that Senator Harding
appear in person in many states."
Elmer Dover. Mark Hanna's rigkt
hand man and Western adviser for the
committee, declared that Harding's per?
sonality would win the hearts of the
voters of the Western states if he
would go the rounds.
Jacob L. Babler, national commit- !
teeman from Missouri, was in confer- j
ence with Mr. Hays and members of I
the advisory committee this afternoon, j
It is reported Babler may resign in an j
effort to win Missouri for the Repub- |
lican party. Babler's resignation has j

The President told me that he natu?

! In which he is not restricted. I asked

ment, "That lady haa written a story
which breathes of a patriotism so pure

Taft Predicts
League Passage
Under Harding
Confident of Republican
Success; Says Covenant
< Will Be Adopted With
Per oper Reservations
Blames Wilson for Delay
Holds Republican Senate
Will Not Accept Article
X, as It Was Presented
Special Dispatch to The Tribune
OTTAWA, Ont., July 8.?"I have
absolute confidence that the approach?
ing Presidential election in the United
States will result in success for the Re?
publican ticket and that we shall have
the league with the reservations nec?
essary for the guidance and protection
of our country."
In these words former President Wil?
liam H. Taft, who arrived in Mon?
treal to-day, expressed his opinion on
the political situation across the
border.
"In the first place," said Mr. Taft,
"both the candidates are from the State
of Ohio, a state ordinarily Republican,
but which went Democratic in the last
Presidential election. Harding was
elected as Senator in 1914. On the
part of the Republican party, I have
great confidence that the* Harding
ticket will be elected. My confidence
in such a result is due greatly to the
general unpopularity in the states of
the Democratic Administration under
Mr. Wilson.
Decries Wilson Partisanship
"The Wilson Administration was par?
ticularly partisan during the period of
war?at a time when the exigency
would naturally lead a President to
open his arms to both parties. In most
of the other countries coalition govern?
ments were the order of the day. But
nothing of this, nature was ever, sug?
gested by Mr. Wilson. In 1918, im?
mediately after the war, Wilson asked
for a Democratic Congress, although
the Remibiiwin party had been stronger
in holding up his hands than the Demo?
crat?, The trend of the feelinrr against
the Wilson Democratic Administration
i-j shown by the election of a Republi?
can majoritv in the House and Senate
in 19*18.
"It is somewhat difficult to forecast
the specific issues at stake," Mr. Taft
continued. "Personally, I am much
more hopeful that the United States
will enter the league under Republican
success than a Democratic success.
"If Mr. Wilson had been willing to
accept the reservations which Lord
Grey stated that Great Britain was per?
fectly willing to accept, we would have
been iVi the league now. But Mr. Wil?
son refused on the grounds that Article.:
X must be unimpaired.
Cause of Deadlock
"Mark you, the Republican Senators
| in the .Senate will -2?fivhf consent to
[Article X in its present-form without
j reservation. Wilson, on the other
] hand, insists upon the article being ac?
cepted without reservation. And there
you have the deadlock?the keynote of
the whole situation.
"If the Republican party comes in
there is nothing for it to do, having
the treaty on hand, but to adopt the
treaty with reservations to Article X.
A Republican^ President, Mr. Harding, ?
who voted for the league with reser?
vations, would undoubtedly submit it to
the powers."
