MAYOR UNSHAKEN
IN STAND AGAINST
DEAL IN COUNCIL
Moore Opposed to Compromise
on Jobs Between Independents
Themselves or Witr Vara Men
HE PLACES RESPONSIBILITY
UPON HIS OWN FOLLOWERS
He May Issue Statement to Jus
tify Position Efforts to Re
tain Morrow Cause Discord
By GEOKGE NOX McCAIN
Mayor Moore will stand unshaken In
his decision to bo a party to no deals.
cither with the Insurgent Independents
or with the Vnro contingent, both of
whom arc holding up thc organization
of Council in thc endeavor to force
compromise. A
Thc Mayor has privately declared this
intention :
First, of placing the responsibility for
tho present situation squarely "upon the
Bhoulders of thc Independents, who arc
making-it impossible for Council to pro
ceed with his plans for thc betterment
of tho city.
Second, If their present attitude is
maintained by tbc filibustering Inde
pendents, tho Mayor,may find it neces
sary to go to the public with a state
ment of a somewhat startling character
in justification, before thc citizenship,
of the correctness of thc position he
has taken.
A new I and surprising phase of the
deadlock in Council ulso has come to
light.
It is said that one of the obstructing
councilmen on the majority side has ex
pressed a desire to have a former em
ploye of the old Council, and a Varp
ally, retained in office on the iw-orc'of
efficiency nnd personal use u'aess to
him. The pfficial is the secretary of
thc finance committee, Arthur It. II.
Morrow.
Burcli May Favor Proposal
"While a councilmanic declaration to
this effect has not been publicly made
yet, Chairman Burch, of the finance
committee, has expressed himself favor
ably to other memberri of the majority
on thc subject. "While administration
leaders recognize tho value of Mr. Mor
row's past services they deam it very
unwise to consider such s. proposition.
This, solely on the score of political ex
pediency. Ah for Councilmen Devclin and
Burch, both aro men whoc personal
.integrity is beyond question. It is u
garded, however, from the standpoint of
safety .first in politics, that their mis
taken zeal for reform lias carried them
beyond the danger line. In addition,
they are being made the tools of de
signing politicians on both sides. They
arc embracing the administration and
are playing directly, at thc sa,me time,
into the hands of the Vare members of
Council.
While basing their present action on
the high ground of principle above all
party consideration, they have been in
dustriously engaged in pullhu chestnuts
out of tho fire for the oppositio.i.
y Mayor for Original Program
Mayor Moore, no matter what action
tho finance committee may take tndnv
at its meeting, will insist that the
original schedule of employes for Coun
cil and their salaries, which he believes
represents the absolutely necessarv
clerical force, be adopted. The list was
carefully prepared. Every factor in
volving work and the economy of time
and money was considered at length.
Said one of the Mayor's advisers:
"The objectors emphasize thc fact
that the working force proposed for
Council as to number and salaries ap
proximates that of thc old bulky, bi
cameral body.
"Why shouldn't it? All the work per
formed by the old body has been taken
over by the new. The entire system
has been transformed. One councilman
is now compelled to undertake the work
and correspondence of about seven
former councilmen, and besides must
devote his whole time to other and in
numerable duties that devolve upon
him.
"ThcseTt specious objectors demand
that tho clerical list be cut down and
the number of messengers reduced. They
forget that these messengers must be
employes of n high grade, who can exe
cute commissions, examine records nnd
gather information. A councilmnn can
not turn himself into an errand boy if
the people expect him to give due care
to lus other duties.
"If one janitor only is permitted, I
do not believe you can find a man for
the job at tho salary offered. He will
have to keep the entire fourth floor,
with " tho corridors on tbe Council's
side, including the rooms on the fifth
floor, in perfect order.
"As for stenographers, even under
thc proposed schedule one will be com-
Continued on Taee Twent -three. Column
through the smoke-filled sthtrway to the
first floor. Meanwhile another son bf
Mrs. Ward had notified the uclghbors.
Mrs. Hannah Ward was taken to thc
home of a neighbor nnd a physician
summoned.
When tho firemen arrived they found
it impossiblo to enter tho houso on tho
first , floor and forced an entrance
through tho third-floor windows.
Iu n closet on tho third floor were
several packs of shotgun shells and
powder, and if the fire had reached them
there may have been serious results.
Ernest Ward is a member of tbo
sophomore class at the I'uiversitv of
Pennsylvania. Although almost totally
blind, ho is noted by his fellow class
mates for his pluck and perseverance.
The boy, who is uot quite twenty years
old, is obliged to sttidy by means of

B
Files Nebraska Petition as Ad
ministration's First Blow
at Commoner
WILSON NOW BELIEVED OUT
i
By CLINTON W. GILBERT
Staff Correspondent of llio EienJnj; rnbllo
Ledger
Washington, Feb. 0. Thc filing of
Senator Hitchcock's petition as u can
didate for the presidency in Nebraska
is thc firsj step by tho administration
in the fight upon William J. Bryan.
Mr. Hitchcock becomes a candidate at
the request of members of the adminis
tration, who, since thc Commoner
raised tho treaty issue and the prohi
bition issuo in tho campaign, are deter
mined to give him a good beating.
Thc filing of Mr. Hitchcock's petition
nt the request of members of thc ad
ministration is highly important. It
means, first, that there is to be war
upon, Bryan if he will accept the chal
lenge, nnd, second, so far as members
of. President Wilson's own administra
tion are concerned, it is almost a taking
out of the race of the President him-
Mr. Hitchcock is thc administration
leader on the floor of thc Senate. Ho
would be almost as much embarrassed
in entering thc race for the presidency
until Mr. Wilson has taken himself out
as is ex -secretary McAdoo.
Mr. Hitchcock is put forwnrd at the
urgency of thc President's closest as
sociates politically.
Expect Bryan to Run
Mr. Brvan has not yet filed petitions
i VohrnsWn either as a candidato for
President or ns a Candidate for delcj
Bate, .He is expected to 'file petitiouft
for the" presidency. But' the-filing rof
Senator Hitchcock's petition may pre
vent his doing so. He mny not wish
to try conclusions with Mr. Hitchcock
nud take the beating that the politicians
bclieviV will be his if ho does so.
If he files only as a candidate for
delegate to thc convention, the inten
tion now is to refuse him thnt honor.
Mr. Hitchcock is rather indifferent as
to whether Mr. Bryan sits iu the na
tional convention or not, but Arthur
Mullin, thc Democratic national com
mitteeman from Nebraska, will insist
upon fighting Bryan for delegate.
This is because Bryan is making a
sharp fight upon Mullin personally.
Brvau has only shown his hand so
far as to put W. II. Thompson, of
Grand Island, once a Bryanito candi
date for senator fiom Nebraska, into
the field for national committeeman
against Mullin. , .
Tlintnnsnn was chairman of thc re
pent Brvau meeting in Omaha when
Bryan made the opening speech of his
campaign. This was the meeting at
which Mullin refused to serve on the
committee of arrangements. Mullin is
the chief lieutenant of Senator Hitch
cock. Commoner Must Fight or Yield
Bryan can only avoid an open fight
in Nebraska by running away from thc
issue, by failing to file petitions for the
presidency, nnd by withdrawing his
man Thompson from the race for na
tional committeeman. Iu that case Mr.
Bryan might be allowed to be a delegate
to San Francisco unopposed.
But if the Commoner wants to fight
the administration will be glad to meet
him, and is pleased to do so on such
favorable ground as Nebraska, where
it has in Sir. Hitchcock a popular' can
didate, in Mr. Mullin an efficient politi
cal manager, and where the primary
comes soon and a defeat of Bryan will
have great moral effect upon the peer
less lender iintionalh.
Administration forces will be likely
to withdraw Governor Edwards from
the race in Nebraska, where enthusias
tic wets have proposed his name. The
fight upon Brynn is a serious fight and
no division of th administration's forces
will bo permitted. GoveYnor Edwards
will probably be ready to withdraw,
Nebraska having now a favorite bon
candidate in tbe person of Mr. Hitch
cock. The selection of Mr. Hitchcock to op
poso Bryan in Nebraska is only the first
step in what the administration has got
to do everywhere. As already pointed
out in this correspondence, primaries

There must be nn effective opposi

Committee Instructed to Report
Pact Back With G. O. P.
Reservations
By tho Associated Press
Washington, Feb. 0. Consideration
of. tho treaty of Versailles was re
sumed iu tbc open Senate today, .Re
publican and Democratic lenders joining
forces to brine it back for debate.
The decision wns reached without
debate, the Senate adopting overwhelm -inHv
it motion bv Senator Lodee. the
Republican lender, to reconsider the
vote by which the treaty was laid aside
ln.t. Nnvpmhpr.
Unanimous consent for thc reconsid
eration had been refused by Senator
Nbrris, Republican, of Nebraska, one
of tho irreconcilables opposing ratifica
tion, and on thc rollcall the irreconcil
able group nneu up in tne negative.
Vote 03 to 0 to Suspend Rules
Tho voto on Senator Lodge's motion
to suspend the rules so the treaty again
could be considered was 03 to 0.
Those voting nguiust the Lodge mo
tion, all Republicans, were: Borah,
Idaho; Braudegee, Connecticut; France,
Mnrvlnml : Gronna. North Dakota;
Knox, Pennsylvania: McCormick and
Sherman, Illinois; rvorris, .eDrasKa,
and Polndetter, Washington.
As soon as tho rules had beeu sus
pended a parliamentary fight developed,
Senator Noiris making a point of or
der against Senator Lodge's motion to
leconsider the vote by which ratifica
tion failed in .November. The objection
was overruled by Vice President Mar
shall, whose decision was upheld by
the Senate by a vote of 02 to 10.
On this roll-call the irreconcilables
again voted in the negative, strength
being augtrentcd by the vote of Sen
ator Sutherland, Republican, West Vir
ginia. Tho Senate by acclamation then
adopted Senator Lodge's motion of re
consideratidn,' and with the treaty for
mally before the Senate, Vice President
Marshall ruled that it had brought back
with if the cloture imposed before the
November vote.
Fight to Remove Cloture
To get rid of the clottlrn restrlpMnn
Senator Lodge moved to recommit the
treaty to the foreia-n rplntlnna onm.
roltt'ee, but Incorporated instructions
that it UevreportcdM)ack"wlth the Re
publican reservations adopted last ses
sion. Senator Hitchcock, of Nebraska,
the Democratic leader, asking modifica
tion of the motion, proposed that the
treaty be referred to the committee with
the ratification resolution only and
without tho reservations.
Senator Lodge replied that his sole
purpose wns to bring the treaty back
before the Senate in the quickest pos
sible way. He declared emphatically
that the reservations had been adopted
in the Senate, the ratification resolu
tion only having been defeated.
Senator Underwood, Democrat, Ala
bama, declared there was no question
but thnt tho Democratic members
wanted the treaty taken up in the
Senate nnd suggested that an effort first
be made to cud the cloture rule by
unanimous consent.
After a half hour's discussion, rinr.
fng which several expedients were pro
posed for uutangling the parliamentary
mix-up about tho treaty, Senator
Hitchcock withdrew his proposal to
amend the motion, which was then car
ried by a viva voce vote.
That put the trcat technically out
of thc Senate- and into the committee,
and ended for the time being discus
sion of the subject ou the floor. Tho
committee is to meet tomorrow, and
membeie expect a report to be made
immediately.

requested as it was feared that the
300 militiamen could not handle the

The mob formed near the courthouse
during the trial, and suddenly made a
