alone would make it the highest priced

Wilson Tells Senate
Washington, Juno 10. (By A. I'.)e
President Wilson, responding to the
Senate resolution, asking for the
complete text of the peace treaty, ad
vised the Senate through the State
Department today that he did not
consider it in the public interest to
transmit the treaty text tot this time
because It was incomplete and many
delicate points were under negotia
tion. T
AS DETECTIVE HEAD
Rotan, Under Reorganization,
Offers Post of Bureau Chief
to Postal Inspector
ASKS SECRET SERVICE PLAN
James T. Cortclyou, former chief
postal inspector in this city, has been
askedto accept the post of chief of
detectives in the reorganization of the
district attorney, Rotnn's, office. An
nouncement'of Jtr. Cortclyou's decision
will be made later today.
DistrlctxAttorney Rotan appeared be
fore the finance commltte, of Councils,
this afternoon and announced that the
organization of his new special force of
detectives will be started immejllately.
Movestpbloelc the reorganization at
this time' verc"sidc-Bte'pped byJIr. Bo
tan, although hcagrecd fa delay the
appointment! of th four assistant attor
neys nowr'allowed him by law, T
The Daix bill, recently passed by the
Legislature, provided for sixteen de
tectives and the four assistants in the
district attorney's office.
With Banking Concern
Mr. Cortelyou is now engaged with
a banking concern nt a salary which Is
said to,be more thnn double that sched
uled for the chief of the District At
torneys' new force. It is thc'plan to paj
the detective chief $4000 a jear, and
Mr. Cortelyou has been asked to accept
the position merely as an organizer. He
resigned his post of chief inspector here,
several months ago, and is in business
in New York.
Mr. Botan nnd Mr. Cortelyou are now
in conference nt City Hall.
When the 'district attorney appeared
before the finance committee, Joseph
P. Gaffncy, chairman, first suggested
that he delay the organization until
nfetr the summer mqnths, in view of the
fact that only once court sits du!ng
that time. In answer to tlilsjTthe dis
trict attorney said he would delay for .n
time the appointment of his assistants.
A suggestion that some of the present
employes of thfc district attorney's of
fice bo "promoted" in the re-organization,
also made by Chairman Gaffney,
will be considered, Mr.'Botan said.
"I desire to pattern my new force
after the secret service," tho district
attorney said. "Many of my present
wen ore more like clerks."
Two of the men in the district at
torney's office are Varc men. So is
Mr. Gaffncy.
Ask for $30,000
The district attorney left councils'
chamber to confer in his office "with n
man selected as chief of detectives at a
salary of $4000."

APPRECIATION FROM PARIS
Senators Walsh and Robinson
Are Thanked for Defend
ing Covenant
By the Associated Press ' '
. Washington, June 10. President
Wilson on his return home will tour
the country, speaking in support of' the
league of nations. Secretary' Tu
multy lias completed a tentative itin
erary for the trip.
Announcement that the President
would tour the country Served to to
vivc rumors nt the' capital- that oppo
nents of Hhe league of nations might
forced the Senate iptb three-day re
iesse's so "they could go to tlie country
at the same tlu the President U
speaking. It was said tho subject
might be' considered formally at a conn
fcrence after 'Vnator Lodge, of Mas
sachu$ettsi.the Republican leader, re
turns to Washington late this week.
Regardless of whether Jtlie recess
plan is adopted, opp-jneuts expect to
send out speakers to answer the PreU
dent. Senators Borah, Republican, of
Idaho, and Johnson, Republican, of
California, were among those mentioned
as likely to be selected. ,
The President today cabled his ap
preciation of recent addresses of Sen
ators Walsh, of Montana, and Robin
son, of Arkansas, supporting the league
of nations. His message, sent to Secre
tary Tumulty, safd :
"Please say- to Senators Walsh, of
Montana, and Robinson, of Arkansas,
how much I appreciate their recent
speeches and how firmly I believe that
they have rendered the country n great
service in supporting the policies which
are absolutely necessary to givp the
United Stntes its proper standing nnd
Influence In the world."
Nnmes of the cities Jo be isitcd by
the President in his "swing nround the
circle" were not made public. Many
cities have invited him to speak on
July 4, it was said at the White House
today, and a particularly pressing in
vitation came from St. Louis.
Replying to an invitation from Sen
ator Swanson that he attend a cele
bration at Richmond on July 30, Presi
dent Wilson cabled his thanks and said
he did not know how this would coin
cide with the itinerary nrranged by
Secretary Tumulty, but that his visit
there should not interfere with the
country's understanding of the peace
treaty and the league covennnt.
BUGS WERE NOT INVITED

In view of the city ordinance which
provides for the elimination of nuisances
nnd also for the preservation of public
health, Harry Wolf,. JJ711 North Sixth

step.
They come, uninvited, evqry night ahd

front of a nearby tailor shop. Mr.
Wolf applied to Magistrate Carson to
day to see what he could do about it.
He was advised to see a lawyer. He
will.
BEEF PRICES DROP
Six and Eight Cents Lower Today,
Vegetables, Too, Decline
There was a drop pf.8,ix to eight cents
a pound In tlie price or beef today. A
decrease in the price""of other meats
is expected to follow (later.
Pgt roast was twenty-two Instead of
twen,ty-elght cents a pounih Tan roasts
were twenty-seven cents instead of
thirty-five niuLMher kinds of heef were
similarly nnectea.
The reduction; is due to .many causes.
A representative of RJttenhouse Broth
ers, who conducts a chain of pjore? in
West Philadelphia Und In the suburbs,
Raid he drop in beef prices was due
to the fact that less beef was being
sept to the soldiers in camp. These
men, he said; are now using large quan
tities tf smoked meats,
There; wasA also a decrease, in the cost
of vegetables. New potatoes dropped
from thirty to tycnjy, ccnttj a quarter

this afternoon.
This Is a postponement from 4 o'clock,
the hour originally set. Tho revised

The provision for civil control of the
territory on the left bank of the Rhine
which had been tentatively agreed upon
was eliminated from the third draft of
the terms.
The German, plenipotentiaries will

Paul Dutasta, secretary of the Peace

The Allies have promised Germnnv

The delivery, however, it developed

It is expected generally thut the Ger

the two men (lew 1000 miles, or 1080
nautical miles, in sixteen hours nnd
twelve minutes, from St. Johns, New

Ireland, has been completed by aero'
club officials, who found the seals intact
ou the mnrkid parts of the airplane,
thus officially establishing the authen
ticity of t the flight.
Meanwhile the niators, tired but
happy, are on their way to London
and may reach here tomorrow. Both
are. well, but Lieutenant Brown, the
navigator of the piano, suffered bruises
on the no'-e nnd" face when the ma
chine landed in a bog. The biplane
was badly damaged and may hae to
be dismantled. i
Dog nnd Cat Were Passengers
Features of. fltc trip were the carry-
ing of the first aerial mail across the
Atlantic; nnd the transportation of two
mascots, n dog and a cat.
Enthusiasm oer tho success of the
trip, it is commented, has not been ac
companied by any minimizing of the
great dangers the niators encountered.
Once tho airmen said they they barel
escaped being plunged into the. setiwhen
the machine went into a flat tpln.
Early in the flight tho half gale iu
which they took off from St. John's tore
oft the propeller that drove the wire

Lieutenant Brown said, a stay wire had
broken, but 'of this he did not speak to

Bad weather, accompanied by fog,
permitted only three observations for

would send hereafter would bo handled
by union men or strike-breakers? He
said ho was disinclined to trust the
word of Mr, Burleson In labor matters,
Mr, McCarthy objected to being held
responsible for the telegraphers' strike,
as the special committee had been sent
to Washington to discuss only "order
No. 0," Issued by the postmaster gen
eral, which forbids strike, under
penalty of dismissal after twenty-four
hours. , ,
Thomas 1 TJaherty,-president of
the postal emploea' organization,
moved to lay the report of the commit
tee 'on the table until Mr. Burleson
gave assurance of the extent pt the
application of his order.
Burleson's Eleventh-Hour Conversion
Charging that the granting of col
lective bargaining to the. wlremen and
neglecting to do the same for the postal
employes was suspicious discrimination,
and an eleventh -hour conversion.
