his campaign for ratification of the
peace treaty.
His. plans called for a speech at
Tacoma this morning, leaving Ta

addresses. He had the people upon
laelr chairs cheering when he raado
his appeal that the League of Nations
Issue be placed on a.' nonpartisan
basis. He said Republicans first sug
gested the league; that Repubicans
should be for it because they belong
to that party, and flatly asked that the
1920 Presidential campaign be put out
of mind when the league Is -under
consideration.
That the President deeply appre

ceived in Spokane was shown in his
smile, which was more in evidence
than It ha been during the two or
three preceding days, and in his man

other Germans he is beginhing- to
tertaln real hope of a, Separate peace
witn America, according to a copy
right dispatch to the New York World
from Berlin.
"Apparently, Senator Lodge is the
soul of the opposition," he said. "The
Senator Is no German hater. He
hates all non-Americans equally, and
he is absolutely a just man, of almost
Quaker-like moral strength. When
he and other important Senators fight
the peace treaty, their course means
that the treaty displeases them be
cause in the excessive enslavement of
Germany, for which America would
be forever co-responsible, they see
grave danger of future complications.
That course Is thus to be hailed like
the morning red of a new dawn. There
is promise of a still better realization
of conditions in the prospect that
America in all seriousness may ex
press the wish for a scparato peace
with the central powers.
"Wo, Germans, can only wish that
the action of the Senate may reflect a
mighty change of opinion that has
been misguided, and that the Ameri
can people may come to favor the con
clusion of a separate peace. If that
shall not result, all thought of revision
of the peace terms must die.
"At all events, the Senate can edu
cate the public toward a league -of
nations, based on the strength and
purity of the original project for a
league such a? will be capable of in
augurating a new and happy epoch In
history.
LOSES HER JEWELS
TRYING TO SAVE ?EM
Countess Removes $20,000 In
Baubles Before Leaving
Home; They Are Stolen
NEW YORK, Sept. 13. Jewels
valued at $20,000 were stolen from
the apartment of Alviso Brajradin. an
Italian count, while he and the count
ess were watching the Pershing pa
rade on Wednesday morning. The
gems, consisting of several diamond
necklaces, lavalliers and ringa with
diamonds and rare stones as Bettings,
belonged to the countess.
Count Bragadin. who ha been in
America for about four years, said
yesterday that he did not care to dis
cuss the robbery, but from a reliable
source was learned the following tale
of the theft:
The countess had been in the habit
of wearing her Jewels the gifts of
the count wherever she went, and
when she was about to set out with
her husband to see the parade she
had them on as usual. The count
advised her not to war them, how
ever, and before hurrying to the pa
rade he left them on a table In one
of the rooms of their home.
Upon her return from the parade
with her husband the countess looked
on the table for the gems but they
were gone.
Then it was discovered that the
butler, who had been employed by
the family a comparatively short
time, was missing. When lie failed
to return later in the day. the loss
was reported to the police and a gen
eral alarm was sent out for his ar
rest. TAKE BKIX-ANS REFOBE MEAM and

W.R.& E. Valuation Too
Low, Unfair, and Illegal,
In Opinion of Gardiner
Gardiner's Dissenting Opinion
Physical valuation of Washington -Railway and , iHectric Com
pany should have been made "as of present 'date, inifther light of
cost developments since 1914, the arbitrary .date fixeliljy the two
Commbissioners. - -;' .''
Recognition should have been given to franchise yalues in
volved in the consolidation of the various units now 'composing the
W. R. and E., and all decisions of. the United; States Supreme Court
specifically recognize this. . t
Congress recognized that franchises have value in directing the
purchase of some of the roads involved. "
Boldly questions the constitutionality of the jrablie utilities act
if Congress intended to confer power Upon the Utilities Commis
sion to undo or abrogate the very thing wbicn Congress authorized
in passing the law censolidating the. various companies composing
the W. R. and E. system. ,
, Supplies no figures of additional valuations that should go upon
railway properties, merely handling the question in a general way.
(If sustained in the courts, his views would probably -add about
$7,000,000 more to the valuation of flfcOODOO).

Thinks Values Too Low.
While not fixing a valuation of his
own Mr. Gardiner conclude, in a gen
era! way. that the properties are of
considerably greater physical value
than found by Colonel i-Cutz and Com
missioner Brownlow. He gives. his
reasons for these conclusions, and
fortifies them by ample quotations
from decisions of the United States
Supreme Court in valuation cases
passed upon by it. Not only does
ho go Into these decisions very fully
relying upon them to sustain his
conclusions, but virtually questions
the constitutionality of the Public
Utilities act if Congress intended the
Commission to undo or abrogate the
authority it had given to consolidate
the various lines now composing the
V. R. & E. system.
Authorized by Conirreas.
Congress, he finds, specifically au
thorized this consolidation, after
painstaking investigation in which
the capital stock was fixed at ?15,
000.000, the same as now. He says
Congress must have concluded that
there was value behind this capital
ization as well as behind the bonds
Pershing Spends 59th
Birthday in Room Where
He Got Orders to Sail
General Pershing today returned to the room from
which, nearly two and a half years ago, he started away
as leader of America's crusade to Europe.
Comes Back Smiling.
He went away
grim and silent to J
help beat the foe that had set out to
cru3h the world. Today Pershing's
fifty-ninth birthday he came back
smiling, and it took him five minutes
to go the last five yards through the
crowd that clustered around the door
of Secretary of War Baker's ante
room, cheering and shaking hands
with the A. E. F. commander.
When Pershing appeared In the
doorway of the solid gray stone State,
War and Navy building, the long cor
ridors generally dignified and silent
with their paintings of dignitaries of
the pat on the walls echoed with a
cheer from men and women clerks
who crowded into them.
Members of Pershing's staff who
preceded him were unable to clear a
path, and the general progressed
slowly down the corridor shaking
hands and smiling.

He thinks Congress could not legal

condemn what it did in passing upon
valuations at that time.
The Commissioner's opinion
breathes the greatest confidence that
his position, based wholly upon his
interpretation of Supreme Court de
cisions, will be upheld by the courts.
The opinion of the Commissioner
will unquestionably .become one of the
bulwarks In the appeals which both
the Capital Traction and Washington
Railway and Electric Companies will

Court from the valuations of these

ity of the Commission.
Goes Into Railway History.
Mr. Gardiner goes carefully into
the history of street railway develop
ment in Washington, showing that
originally there were eight or ten
different lines running into different
sections of the District; that these

Torshing was taken directly to see
Baker, but the welcome had forced
him to violate one of the fln mili
tary rules punctuality. He was sev

from the hotel this morning, a pro

was arranged by members of his
staff. Because of the fact that to
day Is Pershing's birthday, it was
planned that the general should
spend the day quietly.
