HUGHES URGES
RESERVATIONS IN
PEACE TREATY
Declares League Is Needed, but Opposes
Sacrificing Interests of United States;
Frames Resolution For Senate
4Cashington. July 28. -• Charles
Hughes, Republican candidate in the
last Presidential election, has drawn
up a resolution which he offers for
adoption by the United States Sen
ate, consenting to inclusion of the
League of Natiops Covenant in the
Peace Treaty, but suggesting four
reservations to prevent "sacrificing
the essential interests of the United
States."
This became known to-day when
correspondence between Mr. Hughes
and Senator Frederick Hale, Re
publican, of Maine, dealing with
ratification of the Treaty, was made
public.
While finding ambiguities in Arti
cles I and XV, dealing respectively
with withdrawal from the League
and questions of purely a domestic
nature, Mr. Hughes takes chief ex
ception to Articles XXI and X,
which concern the Monroe Doctrine
and the liability of the United States
to provide armed forces to protect
other members ol' the League.
The "descriptive phrase" employed
in connection with the Monroe Doc
trine is said by Mr. Hughes to be
"inaccurate," while Article X is
branded by him as a "trouble breed
er," which if not eliminated, should
be thoroughly interpreted. Any
"reservations," Mr. Hughes added,
should be incorporated in "the in
strument of ratification" to make it
valid, but the fact that such reser
vation are made should not lead to
the assumption that the Treaty
would fail or the Peace Conference
would have to resume operations.
Sees Xced For 'League.
The resolution suggested by Mr.
Hughes is embodied in a letter re
plying to one from Senator Hale re
questing Mr. Hughes' opinion on the
validity of reservations to the pro
posed covenant and also asking Mr.
Hughes "what reservations in your
judgment should be made to safe
guard the interests of our country."
In his letter. Senator Hale asserts
he "wants to see some plan devised
whereby the United States may
safely enter the League of Nations."
In his reply, Mr. Hughes states,
"there is a plain need for a League
of Nations." He added that "there is
also the immediate exigency to be
considered" and that "it is manifest
that every reasonable effort should
be made to establish peace as
pronvply and to bring about a con
dition in which Kurope can resume
its normal industrial activity.
"I sec no reason why these ob
jects cannot be attained without
sacrificing the essential interests of
the United States," Mr. Hughes con
tinues. "There is a middle ground
between aloofness and injurious com
mitments."
Just a Beginning
While regretting that "suitable"
steps have not been taken to formu
late international legal principles
and settlement of disputes by im
partial tribunals, Mr. Hughes de
clares "there is merit enough in the
proposed plan to make it desirable
to secure it, if proper safeguards
can be obtained." "He adds that "it
is just as futile to exaggerate its
value as it is to sec nothing but its
defects." In his opinion the propos
ed covenant should be viewed "as
a mere beginning," "but it is im
portant that a false start should not
be made.
The question as to the validity of
reservations has two aspects, says
Mr. Hughes: "First, with respect to
action on our part which is essen
tial to making of reservations; and,
second, as to the effect of reserva
tions upon other parties to the
Treaty.
"As to the first question, it is
manifest that attempted reserva
tions will be ineffectual unless they
qualify the act of ratification," said
Mr. Hughes, adding that such reser
vations must constitute part of the
instruments of ratification.
Would Play Safe.
If the proposed reservations are
reasonable, responsibility for defeat

American Rancher Pays
Ransom to Bandits For
Return of His Son
By Associated Press.
Washington, July 28.—Acting
upon the advice of the Mexican
government, John West Thompson,
an American ranchman living near
Mexico City, has paid the 1,500
pesos ransom demanded by bandits
for the release of his 14-year-old
son, the State Department was ad
vised to-day. The Mexican authori
ties said they feared the bandits
would murder the boy unless they
received the money.
Secretary Lansing said the Mex
ican Foreign Office had agreed to
refund the amount of the ransom
and to take measures for the cap
ture and punishment of the bandits.
The kidnaping took place last
Thursday at the Thompson ranch,
thirty miles from Mexico City, and
the boy was released on Friday.

Reservations
Urged by Hughes
SUMMARIZED, these are Mr.
Hughes' four reservations to
be made in including the
League of Nations covenant in
the Peace Treaty:
First, that on giving notice of
its intention to withdraw from
the League, a power shall cease
to be a member or subject to
obligations of the covenant at
the time specified in the notice,
but that such withdrawal shall
not release that power from debt
or liability theretofore incurred.
Second, that questions such as
immigration or import duties,
which are solely within domestic
jurisdiction, shall not be submitt
ed for consideration or action by
the League.
Third, that the United States
shall not relinquish its traditional
attitude toward purely American
questions, which shall not be sub
ject to jurisdiction of the Lea
gue, leaving this country free to
oppose acquisition by any non-
American country of territory in
the Western Hemisphere.
Fourth, that under Article X
the United States shall assume no
obligation to undertake any mili
tary expedition or employ its
armed forces on land or sea un
less such action is authorized by
Congress.
FLASHY WOMEN
ESCAPE POLICE
DURING RAID
Make Way Through Muddy
Fields in Heavy Down
pour of Rain
By Associated Press.
Mhicoln, N. Y., July 28.—Nearly
forty handsomely gowned women
rushed panic-stricken from a resi
dence in Cedarhurst near here yes
terday following a raid on the house
where gambling is said to have been
in progress. Despite a heavy down
pour, the women succeeded in forc
ing their way past the guards and
escaping over muddy fields.
The raid was made by members
of the State Constabulary and sev
eral special policemen, although it
is said to have been inspired by the
Nassau Association, composed of
wealthy Nassau county residents
who for some time have been arous
ed by numerous reports of society
gambling in their midst.
The raiders entered the house with
drawn revolvers. It was the sight
of these weapons that created panic
among the women, according to
members of the raiding party, and
put vim in their flight through the
soggy fields.
Three men and a truckload of
gambling paraphernalia were taken
by tbe raiders, who said that some
of the poker chips were marked ?s
high as SI,OOO. The men refused to
give their names, and were booked
at police headquarters as "John Su
perintendent," "John Bookkeeper"
and "John Doorkeeper."

Year in Jail For
Shooting Her Son
By Associated Press.
Pittsfleld, Mass., July 28.—Mrs.
Gladys C. Dunn, on trial in the Su
perior Court here for second de
gree murder for the shooting of her
son, Joseph Allan Dunn, Jr., on Au
gust 11, 1918, pleaded guilty to
manslaughter shortly after the
opening of court this morning. Mi\>.
Dunn withdrew her plea of not
guilty to the indictment at the so
licitation of her husband, J. Allan
Dunn, her attorneys and friends,
who feared a jury verdict of "not
guilty by reason of insanity," re
quiring her incarceration in a State
hospital for the criminally insaim
might prove fatal to her in a short
time because of her nervous tem
perament.
It is expected that the District
Attorney recommended a slioit
sentence to the Berkshire county
jail. Mrs. Dunn was sentenced to
one year in jail.
Mrs. Dunn, who is the wife of J.
t\,i a 1 P unn - of New York, an author,
killed her son at their summer home

peared in evidence, and the wife in
anger, said she would kill the child
and herself. She rushed to her hoom

cording to her counsel in his opening
address, held it to her head. When
her husband called to her she turn
ed and discharged the revolver The
child was killed. Mrs. Dunn said she
intended to shoot herself. She i s 35

THEFT OF AUTO
Court Hands Out Stiff Pun
ishment on Fourth
Offense
Pleading guilty to a charge of
breaking into a garage and stealing
an automobile owned by J. P. Mc-
Cullough, Arthur Davies was given
a penitentiary sentence of not more
than five years and not less than
two years and six months, by Presi
dent Judge George Kunkel to-day.
Assistant District Attorney Robert
T. Fox produced in evidence Davies'
former record showing that in three
previous cases he was charged
with burglary and had been sen
tenced. Davies was caught at
Atlantic City, where he had taken
the automobile and was using it.
Albert, alias Mooney Campbell,
charged with assault and battery by
M. H. McFarland, was given a fine
of SSO and one month in jail. Camp
bell had been in court on four other
charges, first in juvenile court in
1911.

garage of J. W. M. Bowman, at Mid
dletown, Glen Billet, of Bowmans
dale, was given an eight-month sen
tence. Victor Shanabroolc and Al.

sufficient for her and their nine
year old boy.Judge Kunkel told him

FLETCHER WILL
TAKE WARNING
TO MEXICANS
Failure to Protect Lives Will
Leave Stern Alternative
e For United States
NEW POLICY BUDDING
Program Is Mapped Out and
Moving Along Well-
Dcfined Lines
Washington, July 28.—Ambassa
dor Fletcher, upon his return to
Mexico, will bear an important com
munication to President Carranza. It
is understood it will be of a nature
so direct and to the point that the
Mexican chief cannot fail to realize
that his policy of evasion and equiv
ocation must terminate and propci
protection given foreign citizens, as
well as full amends for past out
rages.
In event the Carranza government
does not meet its international obli
gations it is expected the Mexican
Executive will be given to under
stand clear./ the consequences and
the duty entailed upon the United
States under those circumstances.
New Policy May Be Budding
Demands from members of Con
gress that the United States with
draw its recognition of the Carranza
government and go into Mexico to
straighten out a tangled situation
and to afford protection to the citi
zens and interests of foreign nations
seem to he having little effect upon
the White House in tne State De
partment, though the President's
proclamation hanning shipments of
arms into was indicative of
E iwing belief that sooner or later
intervention yvill be necessary and
that the traffic in arms should -be
stopped in the interest of those who
must later cope with that crisis.
Such action is more indirect than
is asked by many who are now plac
ing their claims against Mexico be
fore Congress, but the President has
mapped out his Mexican program
and is moving along well-determined
lines. Since his return from Paris
he has conferred on several occa
sions with State Department offi
cials upon the subject and the Mex
ican situation was also thoroughly
gone into at Versailles before U
was agreed that Mexico should not
he invited to join the League of
Nations.
Those close to, the administration
do not anticipate any action in
Mexico until the fate of the League
of Nations is settled and the Peace
Treaty with Germany ratified. If
an international tribunal is created
for the adjustment of disputes, and
this is assured in some form, almost
the first matter to he laid before
it will be the Mexican question
which is of vital importance not
only to the United tSates, but to
England, France and other Euro
pean countries whose cit'zens have
invested vast capital in the Mexican
Republic and who have been un
able to extend aid and defense be
cause of the European struggle.
Startling Developments
There were many startling devel
opments In the Mexican situation
here.
In the House an attack on the
farranza government was made by
Representative Hudspeth, of Texas,
who advocated the adoption of the
Emerson resolution authorizing the
sending of American troops into
Mexico to protect American lives
and property until a responsible
government could be established.
His fiery utterances were cheered
by members of both the Republican
and Democratic sides.
The State Department, on the
other hand, tetalned a calm de
meanor and deprecated reports that
there had been a change in policy
by the executive branch of the gov
ernment toward Mexico. It did,
however, make announcement that
another kidnaping had been report
ed and that the Mexican authori
ties had ben asked to investigate.
Ambassador Fletcher, who has
been on special duty here at the
State Department several months,
made public communications he had
sent to the Mexican Senate aud
Lower House in reply to messages
sent by members thanking him for
the fair attitude he assumed when
testifying before the rules commit
tee of the House a week ago.
The Fletcher letter expressed the
hope that conditions would prevail
that would assure friendly relations
between the United States and Mex
ico. He urged patriotic co-operation
"toward securing more efficient ana
adequate protection for the lives of
Americans in Mexico."
By some this was taken as in
dicating that the government wouid
insist that better conditions must
be brought about in Mexico if rela
tions were- to continue as at pres
ent and this government was to em
ploy no more vigorous measures to
protect its citizens and their inter
ests in Mexico.
Forestalled Grab Up
Foodstuffs on Bridges
Incidental to the passage of the
forestalling ordnance by City Coun
cil to-morrow the Telegraph is ad- j
vised that interested consumers may j

City Health Officer, Who
Advises Moderation
I How to be YOUNG at 60!
Dr. J. M. J. Kaunick, city health
officer, in a statement issued to
day lays down a number of rules
showing how Harrisburg men and
women may not only reach that age,
but what is more important, have
| sound, healthy bodies after three
| score years of work and play.
Many hundred Harrisburgers are
seriously ill and thousands of others
more or less frequently are ailing
because of their neglecting to follow
the simplest rules, the city health
officer believes.
llis Own Guardian
This same view is held by virtu
ally every physician in the city, it
was learned to-day. Much stress
was laid upon the necessity of peri
odical examination. Such examin
ations it was said would show at the
development stages the small list of
disease which kill large numbers of
men and women in the prime of
life.
"Every man is the guardian of
his own health," said Dr. Raunick
when asked to lay out a chart show
ing how to lead a healthy life. "Most
of our troubles are due to our own
negligence in properly caring for our
bodies.
Moderation in Diet
"Be in the open air and sunshine
as much as possible, and avoid over
heated and poorly ventilated places.
"Take plenty of exercise and
breathe regularly and deeply.
"Live on a diet of meat (once
daily) eggs, cereals, green vegetables,
fruit and milk. Avoid cold drinks
especially at meals; chew food
slowly and thoroughly, and use the
toothbrush regularly.
"Take a daily bath and, if the
heart can stand it. take a sweat
bath once every week or two.
"Secure a daily action of the
bowels and take a purgative once
a week if constipation exists.
Wear Sensible Clothes
"Wear porous clothing, loose col
lars, light shoes and hats and dress
in keeping with the weather.
"Retire early and rise early. Sleep
in a dark, quiet room with open win
dows and sleep from 6 to 8 hours.
"Rest for a whole day each week
without even reading or writing.
He Temperate
"Avoid fatigue and excitement and
don't worry about things that have
happened or may happen. Never
say unpleasant things and don't lis
ten too much.
"Be temperate in all things, espe
cially in the use of alcohol, tobacco,
coffee, tea and also the new drinks
now being exploited.
"Get married and have a happy
home.
"Consult your physician and have
regular periodical examinations
made by him to determine disease
changes; take no medicine except by
your physician's advice."

against • profiteering by retailers.
A grocer in the poor quarter of
Montmartro seeing the rush of
purchasers for chicken and rabbit
at three francs 75 centimes a
pound, marked up the price in
front of customers to four francs.
The crowd resented this action
and sacked the shop, a few min
utes sufficing to clear out the
grocer's stock of chickens, rabbits,
melons and other eatables. The
shutters of the shop were lowered
with the aid of four policemen and
the crowd was driven to the street.
