FORGERY IN NEWBERRY SUIT
One Defendant Accused of False
Signature of Hejme Petitions
Grand Rapids, Mich., Feb. 28. (By
A. P.) JTYstlmonv on the allegation
that Richard H. Fletcher, n Newberry
.defendant and' stntci labor commissioner,
forged homes of voters on petitions
nominating James AV. Helmo in oppo
sition to Henry Ford in the 1018 Demo
cratic primary, was completed nt the
elections conspiracy trial here today.
The process took so much time, however,
that the government rase had not been
finished when adjournment wns taken
until Monday.
One more full court dar will be "used
by the prosecution, It was announced
by Frank C. Palley, s'peclal nsslstnnt
attorney general.
The government's effort centered first
in establishing that Fletcher's signature
wns on certain pay roll vduchers which
were brought to tho trial Thursday by
ou attache of the auditor general's
office. That witness could not swear to
their authenticity, so todny Morris D.
Klrby, chief clerk in Fletcher's depart
ment since the defendant's first term In
1008, was nsked about them.
.Tiiilire Sessions exnresseil crave
doubts" on Klrby's testimony when the
witness said that despite his yeurs or
service he did not know Fletchers sig-
tinlnro.
The next witness. Daniel J. Cody, a
linnk official from Fletcher's homo town,
liny City, expressed his opinion thut tho
utato vouchers were signed In Flctch
er's handwriting. Although Cody snld
he did not pretend to be a handwriting
expert, the defense made no objection
to this testimony.
Francis U. Courtney, a Detroit ex
pert, then expressed the opinion that

written by Flotchen

Administration Leader Defends
Wilson Upholds Own Ac
tion on Peace Pact
Hy the Associated Press
Washington. Feb. 28. Another new
elemuit wns brought into the Senate de
bate on the trentv of Versailles today
bv Senator Kellogg, Republican, of
MlniH'otn. one ... the mild reservation
Nts. when lie congratulated Senator
Hitchcock, the ndmlnUtrntton leadert
anil Senator Borah, n leader of the lr
r conellnhles, on "their new alliance"
to defeat the treaty.
Senntrir Kellogg also preclnltated the
first -debate on the Adriatic matter,
when he criticized the President's
course. While the Mlnncontan, who
Iiiih linrn rnrldne fnr ratification of the
treaty, took the lend In he nttack, he
wns joined by the treaty's irreconcn
able foe.
Senators Hitchcock and Borah had
been in consultation on the Kcnnte floor
n short time before Senator Kellogg,
referring to reports thnt they were
workitw together to prevent ratification
of the treaty with Republican reserva
tions declnred he had believed for a
long time that It was the purnoso of
the -enutor from Nebraska to defeat the
treatv, with Republican votes, if he
can, but If not. with Democratic votes.
Asserts Wilson Seeks to Dlctato
In discussing the Adriatic problem,
Senator Kellogg sold the President
without justification had "undertaken
to dictate absolutely" it settlement. He
added that the development wns "dis
couraging" to friends of the pence
.treaty. i
Tlie senator wuu ne iiki noi kihiw
"why Italy should not defend herself."
"My position is that It N none of
our business." he continued. "I do not,
believe the President Is justified In at
tempting to dictate an adjustment. If
we're going to dictate in that wuy be
fore we have any tieuty ut ull, what are
wo going to get into, until we have
an ndequate reservation to Article X,
after the trenty Is ratified?"
Quoting from the President's refer
ences to self-determination in ills re
cent notes to the allied premiers, Sena
tor Kellogg asserted that In many cases
territory was "parceled out" ut Ver
sailles without regard to the desires
of the people interested.
Self-Dcfermlnatton Ignored
"How' much of u part did self-determination
play In the settlement of the
Sanr basin?" he asked. "It played no
more of a part than it did in the set
tlement of 1871 when Germany de
manded and took Alsace-Lorraine from
France. How much of u part did tt
nla.v In determining the Shantung set
tlement? How much of n pnrt did It
play in the cases ot Serbia and Monte
negro? "Self-determination had nothing to
do with the erection of these new na
tions. And are we to pledge ourselves
for all times to maintain the nations
thnt have been thus erected?"
Replying to Senator Kellogg on tho
Adriatic iup. Senator Hitchcock de
clared that the peaco treaty by provid
ing for it plebiscite In the Snor valley
at the end of fifteen years had pre
served the principle of self-determination
for the people of that valley.
Illtrhrork Hits Back at Kellogg
. Senntor Hitchcock, in reply to the
allegations of an alliance with Borah to
defeat the treaty, charged that Senator
Kellogg had "joined in the conspiracy
to stuff the foreign relations committee
with Senators pledged to defeat the
treaty."
While always assuming to be u friend
of the treat-, continued Senator Hitch
cock, he joined hit- colleagues later in
seeking to prevent every effort at com
irnmlaeM. nml then he voted for the very
reservations that were supported by the
treaty's enemies because they thought
It could kill the treaty.
'.'Ah for m.ii-elf.M think the country
will be able to decide whether 1 have
been for this ireuty or against it. There
nro some nenutors whoso position no one
hns'ever been uble to determine."
Senator Brandegee, Republican, of
Connecticut, in joining Iu the debate
on the Adriatic question, said: "The
League of Nations is fulminntlng over
there nnd our ajllcs and their associ
ates have com' to a little difference of
opinion.
"American (ioiernment That's Him"
"And ull the papers," ho continued,

GRAVE ADRIATIC ISSUE
IS FAST DISAPPEARING
Powers Satisfied to Delay Set
tlement Until U. S. Execu
tive's Term Ends
By CLINTON W. GILBERT
Stair Corrmpondrnt nf tlin Ktrnlnr: PuMte
Ilr
Washington, Feb. 28. The latest
note of the allied premiers, of which
the substance Is made public in Lon
don, is calculated to take awiiy from
Mr. Wilson the excuse to withdraw the
treaty from the Senute and nt the same
time remove him ns a factor from tho
Adriatic situutlon. It is n menus of
"stnlllng" along during what is left of
Mr. Wilson's term In office, whu
Kurope settles Its own nffnirs In n Eu
ropean way. since It will take mouths
of negotiation for Itnly and Jugo
slavia to reach njagreement.
On the face omt, the allied premiers
yield by withdrawing their proposals
of January 20. which nroused Mr.
Wilson's indignntlon. But they attach
conditions to thnt withdrawal. They
nsk Mr. Wilson nlso to agree to the
withdrawal of the joint Anglo-American-French
proposals of December 0,
and they remind Mr. Wilson that the
treaty of London regarding the frontiers
of Italy is still in existence. t
Allies Remain Factors
Thus, If Mr. Wilson agrees to the
latest miggcstion of the Allies, they re
main factors to n practical extent in
the Adriatic dispute, us guarantors of
Italy's territorial rights under th
trenty of Iondon, while the United
States ceases to be anything but
moral factor.
They secure delay, during which the
position of Jiigo-Sluvia will be weak
ened by the sense thnt the United States
ih committed to nothing definite nnd Is
llkelv soon to change her policy, nnd the
position of Italy has a certain strength
by reason of the existence of the treaty
of London.
This treaty does uot satisfy Italy now,
but after all, it wus the bargain made
when Italy entered the war and it Is In-)
finitely more favorable to Italy than' to ,
Jugo-Slavln. which was not consulted'
in its formation.
Once Mrf Wilson agrees to the ltfU
allied proposition it will ie u mo inwr-.j'-,
csts of Jugo-Slnvia. as, well ns Italy, to 5
delav negotiations neyonu mc umir oi
Mr. Wilson's term. , .fr$jj
In the correspondence just ptlblfsqea,
it is plain thnt the allied powers and.
.Tugo-SIavia ore loouitig to a soiuuou
of their difficulties nt the expense of
Albania. Jugo-Slavla enn only be paid
for surrendering its claims to Flume as
a seaport by receiving whut will be
enlled in the polite language of the
recent peace conference, a ''mandate
for part of Albania. Mr. Wilson boa
refused his consent to dividing the Al
banian mandate between two or three ,
powers, which amounts to the virtual , .
partitioning of Albania.
Want Slice of Albania
Thus, if Jugo-Slavln becomes satis-

interests of everybody except Mr.
It is difficult to see how the President
enn prevent delay. He cannot refuse
to let Ituly and Jugo-Sluviu negotiate
their own boundaries. It is not yield
ing for him to do that, for he never
could huve taken the position thnt two
free peoples, not at war with the I uited
States, could not agree upon their own
territorial limits. Self-determination
requires that right.
it spenm llkelv. therefore, that Mr.
Wilson, who has not yet hml time to
completely study the lntest note, will
accept the Allies' proposal with certa n
reservations. Ho may decline to with-
