VOLUME LII NUMBER 18 TITO" 171 1 JtiJMj ROBESONIAN Harding Rejects League of Nations President in Address Before Con- irrsii Ssva Aecentance of Lea cue Would h Rrval of Mandate of Election Urges Declaration of , Peace, and Approves Parts of Treaty That Protects American . Kignta Urces Emergence Tariff. Finil roiwtinn nf tn Versailles 'League of Nations by America was proclaimed to the world luesaay Dy President Harding in a solemn pro nouncement of the foreign Dolicies of his administration, states a Washing ton dispatch of Apr. lz, whicn con timipa " Speaking before the new Congress assembled to write- a program oi eco. nomir and nolitical reconstruction - i the President declared acceptance of tne league would oe notning snon of a betrayal of the mandate of the November elections. Instead, he asked for a congressional declaration of peace and tor ratification of those sprtions of thp Versailles treaty which protect specifically American rights and interests in the war settlement. "In the existing League of Nations, world-governing with its superpow ers, this republic will have no part," he said. "It is only fair to say to the world in general, and to our asso. ciates in the war jn, .articular.- that the league-"vv trail sanction by us. The declaration was answered by a tremendous demonstration io which Republican Senators and Representa tives led, while most of their Demo cratic colleagues sat silent and un smiling. After weighing the words cf the chief executive, the senatorial group of treaty irreconcilables to night waa claiming a complete victory predicting that even the parts of the treaty indorsed by Mr. Harding never would receive Senate approval. In his recommendations for domes, tic legislation, the President gave greatest attention to tariff and tax revision and to the railway situation, though he indorsed a list of lesser measures which congressional leaders declared might prolong the special session until the snow flies. He also took occasion in his address of nearly ah hour tp declare his faith in a maintained merchant marine and in the principle of armament reduc tion without asking for legislation on either subject. An emergency tariff to correcteen ous disorders in American industry was placed at the head of the Presi dent's request, and within an hour after he finished speaking, the House ways and means agreed to report to. morrow, the emergency measure, passed at the last session and vetoed by President Wilson. For the per manent tariff bill that is to be -framed later, Mr. Harding made no specific suggestions except that it follow the principle of protection. Similarly the President refrained from detailed recommendation on tax ation, contenting himself with a gen eral discussion of the situation with an added reminder that his party pledged itself in the last campaign to repeal the excess profits tax. He also recalled the campaign promise to or ganize a separate government depart, ment of public welfare, but made no recommendations whether a cabinet otticUA should be placed at its head. Declaring rates and operating ex penses of the railroads must be low ered, Mr. Harding asked that Con gress investigate the whole transpor. tation problem. He recommended co ordination of all governmental agen cies dealing with former service men, strengthening to the Federal laws af fecting highway construction and maintenance, enactment of budget legislation and a congressional in quiry into lynching and race relations in general. ' Mr. Harding's definite stand against the league covenant was not a surprise to Republican leaders of fthe Senate, although the exact word ing of the declaration was an unset tled question until shortly before the executive left for the capitol to de liver his address. The first draft of the manuscript was completed soon after midnight, and when the prtfof sheets came from the pwblic printer this morning, the President cancelled the regular Tuesday cabinet meeting and summoned Republican members of the foreign relations committee to the White House. In conference with the committee members, the President considered the foreign relations section of the address for more than an hour, hear, ing the advice of mild reservations as well as irreconcilables before finally rutting his manuscript into his pocket for the ride to the capitol.

When he caught sight of John, he testified that John had a copper still, complete, in his hands and was moving at fast speed. He kept after John until he overtook him. John told the officer that he found the still and was only going to make something to drink for his own use and not for sale. Later the officers found the site where the still had been operated, apparently for a, year or more, near John's house. It was a dandy out fit, according to the officers. The still was destroyed. The second still was found near the home of Neill Oxendine, Indian. A gallon' and a half of whiskey was also found in Oxendine's home. This still wa made of two galvanized tubs and Accessories to match. Oxendine was not at home ana nas pot yei ueeu arrested.

By some Senators, the words of the President were taken to mean that his mind still was open on the question of reserved ratification, and that he merely suggested that course as pre ferrable to a separate peace. The point stressed by him in that connec tion and emDhasized recently in other administration quarters was that the United States most find some way to diplomatic agreement with both Germany and the allies which would fully protect such advantages as this goverment gained under the unratified pactj of Versailles. In his indorsement of the peace dec laration, the President expressed dis approval of the proposal of someSen ators to attach to the declaratory re solution, a general expression of the American govenment s policy towara future European wars. This proposal has taken various form, but the amendment most favored in recent discussion declared that if European peace and civilization again w.ere threatened, the United States would regardit a menace to its .own safety and would take steps to prevent a world catastrophe. Mr. Harding gave no light on his views on the formation of association oi nations, merely giving his pledge to advocate such, an association. Fewer Cases In Recorder's Court There Has Been a Dropping Off in Cases Recently Dennis Spirey Will Assist Officers in Rounding Up Men Who Sold Him Monkey Rom. There has been a "dropping off" in the number of cases in recorder's court here of .late. Very few cases have been aired this weak. Dennis Spivey, young white man, was up yesterday on two charges-; disturbing a religious meeting and carrying concealed weapons. Prayer j for judgment was continued in each I'itJ 11F1IIFI IlMVmPMI 111 I I IN 1 llHIfllll- J ' ant to appear in court the first Mon. day in each month for 12 months and show good behavior.

LOAN OF 2 MILLIONS FOR FI- NANCLXOTTOM P0RTS Export of 30,000 Bales of Cotton is Involved in the Transaction. Approval of an application for a loan of $2,000,000 for financing cot ton exports was announced yesterday by the Wari Finance corporation, states a Washington dispatch. Export of 30,000 bales of cotton to England, France. Italy, Portugal, Japan and Germany is involved in the transaction, according to Eugene Meyer, director of the corporation. The application, Mr. Meyer added, was a direct result of a recent con ference in New Orleans with Southern bankers. Application for .the loan, he said, was made by an expert financing corporation. Discussing the recent, conferences in Washington, Atlanta and New Orleans with exporters, manufacturers and bankers, Mr. Meyer declared the results "were con sidered satisfactory by all concerned." The most important result, he said, was that the bankers are going to approach the problems of exporting cotton and other Southern products from a new point of view and in a more energetic manner. MESSAGE FAILS TO IMPRESS. President is Not Clear on Important Questions Follows Wilson's Lead in Addressing Congress Plan for Peace Considered Weak and Absurd President Harding's message did not make much of an impression here today, states a Washington dispatch of -ApriVlSUf pr it is not clear on im portant; questions. Democrats were interested in the fact that Mr. Hard ing followed the lead of Wilson and read what he had to say. appearing in person. Wilson was called "king" by G. O. P. leaders. Democrats are preparing to give the Harding recommendations fair consideration, but they see no good in the emergency tariff, and will fight it to a finish. Representative Kitch in, if he is able, will lead, the assault in the House and Senator Simmons in the Senate. The plan for peace is considered weak and absurd. Senator Simmons, discussing the message said: "I was very much pleased with much of the President's address, but the Democrats will dissent from his views on the tariff, and taxation. Especially do I disagree with his views on internal taxes. His foreign policy must be very startling to the allies and confusing to his party. I had expected that he would scrap the League of Nations, but thought he would offer in its stead something more than mere platitudes." Superior Court It is Expected That Court Will Ad journ This Afternoon or Tomorrow Only One Jury Trial This Week. It is expected that Superior court for trie trial of civil cases will ad journ this afternoon or tomorrow. Only one jury trial has been heard this week. This was J. H. McAm vs. P. P.
