Fifth Avenue &37??Street Fine China Plates Minton Cauldon Copeland Crown Derby Doulton William Howard Taft Discusses Wilson As a League Wrecker By William Howard Taft VANCOUVER, B. (.'.. Oct. 11 ?Mr. Cox's statement as to my corrcspond ence with Mr. Wilson suggesting amendments to the league covenant as reported by Mr. Wilson to the Paris conference is doubtless correct, though I have not my tiles to verify it. This is not news. In giving my reason in The New York Tribune for sup? porting Mr. Harding immediately after his acceptance speech, I said 1 had spoken from the same platform with Mr. Wilson in favor of the league as reported, with Article X. and had ther after suggested to him amendments, some of which were adopted on Sep? tember IT, Mr. Foster assistant secre? tary at the White House, telephoned M. Karger, the dean of Washington cor? respondents and known to be an inti? mate friend of mine, saying that the Democratic committee had applied for this correspondence, but that the White House would -not give it out unless it was considered public property. Mr. Karper answered that he did not think it had been published. Mr. Karger wrote to me of the inquiry the same day and I answered that 1 had no ob? jection to the publication. The cor? respondence shows that I was in favor of the league and Article X, as 1 also have been and would be now if rati? fication were possible, and that 1 was anxious to aid Mr. Wilson in having it ratified. It doe? not siiow that Mr. Wilson ever conferred with the Senators who were to ratify tin? ?eapue either before lie reported it or after hi' reported it ..:.'? b? fore ;i was signed. From the time it was submitted to the Senate until the Senate adopted reservations, Mr. Wilson declined to consider-any .substantial reservations proposed in compromise. Ko one was authorized to speak for him in the conferences lasting many months be? tween the Republican and Democratic Senators as to reservations. A com? promise would certainly have been reached but for him. When the Senate voted the reservations in November, 1919, Mr. Wilson was urged by the League to Enforce Peace and leading Democrats to accept them, but he per? emptorily refused then and again in February, 1920, and thus destroyed the league because he would not have Article X amended. Thirty-three Republicans and two Democrats who hold over in the Sen? ate and many others who will be re elected will never accept Article X. Thirty-three can defeat the treaty by refusing to consider any substantial 7 eservations. Mr, Wilson is the wrecker of his own league. He has insisted on attemptinir to make this Article X the issue of the campaign and is thus beaten in ad? vance. Should Mr. Cox, who sustains him and promises to follow his course, be elected, the futile deadlock will con? tinue. Mr. Harding proposes a new as? sociation of nations with the important features of the existing league, ex? cept Article X and the other articles modified in the Republican reservations and centering around an international court of justice with teeth in its con? stitution to decide justiciable ques? tions between nations. I strongly favor Mr. Harding'? elec? tion because I think the only hope of the United States entering any associa? tion of nations at all is through him Mr. Harding will be elected over? whelmingly, not on the league issue but because the people wish to change the Wilson Democratic administration ?f which they are tired. I agree fuHv in the view, and believe that it is ot capital importance that Mr. Harding and a Republican Congress shall bf given power to solve the great domestii problems which press on us.

Wads worth jr., Republican candidate for re? election, spoke at a mass meeting here to-night. "The American people," he said, "are yearning for security, something they have not enjoyed to any great extent i'i recent years. They are yearning for the time to come again when they can entertain a real affection for their government, when they can see it, when their government will be one which will not operate behind n veil of mystery, invisible, intangible, im? possible t" understand. "Franklin D. Roosevelt is going about, as.candidate for the Vice-Presi? dency on the Democratic ticket, as seiting that the extravagance of the government is duo to the Republican Congress. If he said that' with a straight face, I admire his muscular control." Job Hedges, of New Y'ork, who is ac? companying Senator Wadsworth on his tour, also spoke at the meeting.

The start for to-morrow's ride will be made between 6:30 and 6:30, with St. Johnsbury as the day's destination.

From 50,000 to 60,000 people are expected to attend. A barbecue is pretty generally understood, but burgoo is an institution peculiar to Kentucky and southern Ohio.

Harding Adrises Tariff As Policy for Soutli Substitution of Broad Motional Outlook for Sectional View? point Best Spur to Progr?s:; NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 11. Sub titi tion of a "broad national outlook fur the sectional feeling that has to some extent isolated her people and hii d? r< 'heir participation in the march of economic progress" wa re.commended as the necessary viewpoint of every forward looking Southerner by Senator Harding, in a paper read before the opening session here to-day of the Southern Tariff Congress. "The South." said Senator Harding, "should hold fast to the best of its old civilization, mannors and customs, but seek also to unite with them tie best afforded by the examples oi peoples of all the sisterhood of states, "No section of our country needs so much at this time the application of the principle of the protective tariff and if, as '-?-eins from the convention, this fact is coming home to th? people of the South d shall he sincerely ed."

Pay and Repay There is probably no advertiser in America with an appropriation adequate to the national opportunity. The adequacy or inadequacy of an advertising appropriation has nothing to do with the financial resources of the would-be advertiser. Wrigley spends a large amount for producing ?ales, and last year, after taxes, this gum company made more than four million dollars profit. John Doe, who may wish to compete with Wrigley, should reckon first on what should be appropriated for advertising, and second, on what he can appropriate. Perhaps he can choose a limited sales terri? tory and use some intensive methods?perhaps he may have more clever sales plans or perhaps he may be willing to wait longer for his returns. Whatever the necessities, start right by think? ing right in terms not of your ability to pay, but of the public's ability to repay for an adequate appropriation.

Court Order Prohibits Picketing by Furriers Justice Newb.urger Says Strik? ers Seek to Compel Employ? ers to Hire .More Men While acknowledging the lawfulness of picketing by labor unions under certain conditions, Justice Newburger resterday rendered a decision denying that right to the members of the Fur Workers' Union. The justice issued an injunction prohibiting the union from picketing the shops of members of t'ii Retail Fur Dealers' Association. Justice Newburger held that the ?trike in the fur industry and the cons? quent placing of pickets before the shops of the furriers was done not for the purpose of obtaining an in? crease in wages or for better working conditions, bul tc obtain work for all members of the union when the con? ditions of the trade had become such that the manufacturers were com? pelled i.i reduce their forces. The contracts between the employ and employees expired last May. The union demanded a five-day week in their new contract. This demand, it was alleged, was made to give em? ployment, to a larger number of work? ers. The manufacturers rejected this demand, whereupon a strike was de? clared, shops were picketed and many ; on-striking employees were assaulted The union men are also enjoined front making threats or interfering in an\ way with the men who continue a; work. Fire Routs 14 Families Policemen and Taxicab Drivers Rescue Many Persons In a tenement house fire, at 49 North Fourth Avenue, Mount Vernon, early yesterday morning, fourteen families were routed out of bed and two police? men and two taxicab drivers rescued several persons.

With the , ?sistance of James Ambrose and Louis hluels, taxicab drivers, the policemen carried the two children of Tony Ge rillo from the third story of the burn? ing building and later rescued the two children of V. Zarrelli, who were trapped on the third floor. Mrs. Rocco Conticchio and an infant also were rescued. Gorman in Court Again Brooklyn Alderman Held for Trial on Intoxication Charge Alderman Arthur V. Gorman, of 237 Bergen Street, Brooklyn, was held for trial yesterday in the police court at inmaica, Queens, on a charge of driving an automobile while intoxicated. Patrolman Fudzinski, who made the arrest, said that he saw the alderman's car first in front of a house in Ridge wood, Queens, and waited for the owner ?o come out to warn him to light his tail lamp. Alderman Gorman's reply to the warning was to threaten to "break" him, the patrolman said. He said that he cave the alderman two minutes to light his lamp and get out and the a"?ierman o after swearing at him. The next time he saw the car, he said, the .alderman was at the wheel and the cours of the vehicle was so erratic that the patrolman jumped to the running hoard and seized the wheel, fearing an accident.

Mills outlined the position of the Republican party on the League of Nations at a meeting of Republican women yesterday afternoon at the headquarters of the Women's State Ex? ecutive Gommittee at the Hotel Van derbilt. "It is not a question of a league or no league," he said. "It is a question of Mr. Wilson's league, unamended, or a league conceived in accordance with the declarations of the. Republican party platform. "I have not discussed the League of Nations before to-day," he said, ''be? cause I believed most people understood the situation very clearly.

We believe, v.-e said at Chi? cago, in an association of nations tc prevent war, an association built upoi international law, and requiring immediate conference of the greal world powers whenever the ?ere the world is threatened.

The council of the league is not a perma? nent court of justice, bound to decid? cases according to internation-.

I we undertake to guarantee the terri? torial integrity of members of th: league under Article X we are bound to Bend armed forces to protect that terri? torial integrity whenever it is threat? ened. The trouble is, then, that cir? cumstances may be such that the United States would have no interest in the quarrels of Eur<>pean nations, and we would really serve the cause of justice better by staying out.
