Blames U. S. Senate.
Mr Whyte is a very earnest advo
cate of the league of nations and dls-
. rnased that at some length II.' -aid
that there Is a very general and strong
sentiment In England for the league
and that the Ideals enunciated on this
question by President Wilson are In
-,. popular favor The British public,
though not as fully informed as It might
be on the matter, Is inclined to put the
burden of blame for the row over the
peace treaty In America upon Ihe sen-
k ate. They realise that I lie conflict Is
us much over the treatv-making pre
rogallves of the president and his op
ponents, as over the league of nations
covenant Britain and the other allied
nations are Inclined to accept reason
able reservations and Interpretations
made bv Ihe United States senate, he
said.
"The friends of the league of nations
In Kurope.'1 he said, "reallie thut the
present covenant Is an Imperfect docu
ment hut they hold that It contains
within It the promise of Its own Im
provement The welcome the attempt
made by the American people to get n
clear Idea of what the league means
Anv Intrpretatlons which the senate
writes In the margin of the covenant of
league will be rend In r.uronc as
an indication of the obligations which
America Is prepared to undertake. No
one wishes any member of the league
to enter It with his eves shut.
"The pace treaty is a compromise be
tween the forces of the old world and
the spirit of Ihe new world order pro
claimed by President Wilson The
American president was Velcomod In
Europe as the spokesman of modem
democracy and without his effective In
tervention In Purls, we should not now
have the opportunity of trying the prin
ciples on which the league is baaed.
Denio'Tatlc opinion In Europe and es
pecially In Great Britain Is grateful to
Mr. Wilson for making the league a
prominent Issue in Paris The future
of the league largely depends on co
operation between Great Britain nml
America. It Is an Instrument which
will Improve in proportion as It Is issued
for the right purposes and If the Kng
lish speaking peoples resolve to make it
an Instrument of freedom and justice
there Is no power In the world which
can prevail against them."
HAYSSAYSG.O.P.
BY HUGE MARGIN
W5NVKU, Col.. Jan. 9 Will II Hays,
chairman of the national Republican
committee, addressing the Colorado
slate central committee, declared that
the Republican party would win the
t ext presidential election by a hlg mar
gin. He said this conclusion was baaed
upon observation covering a period of 18
months.
Mr Hays was unsparing In his cnti
cism of the administration. He de
clared thai government employes were
yet "so thick in Washington i havi
to kick them out of your was II
utld thai the name of every buyer of
Liberty bonds in the United States
was on the Democratic mailing list
nnd that government records at Wash
ington had been searched by the Demo
cm tie party for names to add to the
mailing lists.
"We were shut out of the war Jobs
III the main." said Hays, "and now we
are excluded from nil these record h
which are available to the opposition."
He declared Postmaster-General
Burleson had ordi red a rural free de
livery census of all adults and predict
ed that this list would be used bv the
liemoerats to "flood the country with
campaign literature"
Hays referred to the Republican or
ganisatinn as "the real war party after
all," lauding the party for its patriotic
endeavor during the period when clv
lllgatluu was on trial."
"We stood beside the president when
lie needed aid and no man will ever
accuse the patty of failure In the ori
els. The sjreaker warned of "the menace
we face in America as a result of the
wave of Bolshevism which sweeps on
ward with a rush " He sold that noth
ing would stop this danger but u
change of policy throughout Ihe na
tion, u change which a Republican vic
tory would bring about.
Hays predicted that the newly en
franchised women voters of America
hold the balance of power. He pleaded
for an organisation to "which they
would be prflud to own."

Moore's confession to Detectives
Hojle and Peters named the various
places he robbed, gave the names of
hi c npsnlons on the various Jobs,
nnd stated what loot Ihey got.
Robbed Own Sister.
Probably the. most striking feature of
Ihe confession Is his statement that he
stole a $250 fur coat from his own sis
ter, and sold 11 to "a man" for $40
The detectives now are working on a
lead that Misire stole the coat original
ly and gave It to his sister, but they
are not prepared to suy that this is
the case.
The Peabody hotel and the Peabody
poolroom. Ihe Fransioll hotel, the Pas
lime pool and billiard hall, Ihe Hex bil
liard hall, soft drinks stands, restaur
ants and downtown rooms all were
robbed, the confession says.
0Veft)Of,tS were the favorite loot
Moore recalled about :'0 overcoats that
he and his companions had "made"
since he started his career of sneak

wrlters. an adding machine, three pis
tols, various suit .ases, an electric fan,
electric heater and mlscelleanous arti
cles of wearing apparel fell Into the
hands of the gang, according to Moore.
Moore was the main Instrument In
the thievery, according to his own
statement. He rarely left a clew, and
only on one occasion did he pawn a
stlen overcoat -that for $1-. The
ol tier goods be disposed i f to some
perrms fll elastic conscience, many of
whom, the police believe, knew the
articles were stolen when they bought
ti m.
Sought Cigarets.
Crawley Is held on Moore's statement
that he disposed f several slolen art1
ciaa; Frederick Is accused by Moore of
having purchased three Ivory cue balls
which he stole; while the negro, Wal
lace, Is said to have secreted some of
the loot at his room on Gayoso avenue.
From Information the sleuths gleaned
Thursday night, wh n they worked un
til 3:30 a in . and Friday morning, they
learned that when Moore sold a stolen
article he usuilly represented himself
as being from New Orleans. Few of his
"customers" knew anything about him.
Wilson, the chauffeur. Is accused of
having driven Ihe youthful thieves to
St vera! places where they pulled off
robberies.
Moore, wh seems to be the rlnglead
er of Ihe gang, was sought for two
weeks by Jack Kllnck before he was
let out as a detective In the recent po
lice shakeup. Hoyle and Peters coti
tinuid the search, having lines tftat
pointed to him as having pulled a few
jobs
Cigars and clgarets which were stolen
from Various soft drink establishments
Were sold here and there, and Moore

WASHINGTON. Jan. 9 - The govern
ment has definitely decided to render
aid to the dependents of alien radicals
whom 11 deports. Assistant Attorney
General Garvan announced today. Ac
tion In this direction will be taken
purely as a humanitarian measure and
not because of any obligations to the
families of the aliens, he added.
Federal agents base been Instructed
to investigate the circumstances of all
families from which the government
has deported the breadwinner, but Mr.
Garvan warned that "no false sympa
thies would enter Into the govern
ment's decision In extending assist
ance." It has not yet been determined
through what channels provision will
Ik" made for the care or the persons
left alone through the "follies of their
family heads" It was Indicated, how
ever, that eventually. If the persons
concerned so chose, they would be sent
to Join the deportees overseas. Legis
lation may be necessary to accomplish
this, but officials felt that by sending
those issiple away the nation would he
free from further trouble breeding bv
those particular strains of blood and
thought.
Officials also said much of the
ground for possible reprisals would be
removed If the families were finally
stent to join their leaders.
While the government makes no pro
vision for the families of persons sent
to federal prisons, u was explained
that deportation was a different mat
ter and that because of its possible et
fect In Russia and Other foreign coun
tries It was worth while for the gov
ernment to care for persona left here
unprovided for as a result of deporta
tions proceedings
