flltl ESTABLISHED I87fr LINCOLNTON. N. C, MONDAY AFTERNOON, MARCH 22, 1920. FIVE CENTS PE1 COPT $2 per year SENATE RETURNS TREATY TO WILSON; ,n vvf niTinriit(s,my general hospital ino. iy IS NOf RA1IFIED -J Oteen. today that Lieut John R Decisive Roll Call Shows 49 for to 35 Against. Senate May Declare A State Of Peace For U. S. Treaty Sent Back To the White House for Action. Wilson May Send It Back Simmons And Overman Stand With President in Final Vote. New Fight Starts Monday. Washington, March 19 The treaty of Versailles failed of ratili cation for the fourth time tonight and then the senate voted to send it back to President Wilson with a notification that it had finally "re fused to advise and consent to its ratification." On the decisive roll-call the vote was 49 for ratification to 35 against, the opposition numbering in its ranks 20 democrats who were unwilling to see the treaty co through with the republican reservations objected to by the President and three democratic and twelve republicans irreconcillable. Twenty-one democrats quit Pie President's lead and voted for ratifi cation, but the defection failed by seven votes of providing the two thirds requisite to ratify. The result was regarded every where in the capital as having put over into the political campaign for decision the long and bitter fight be tween the chief executive and the senate majority. A moe to recon sider the vote and try once more to ratify collapsed in its inception, lead ers on both sides agreeing that further ratification efforts would be a waste of time as long as the senate membership remains as it is. What Will Wilson Do? Whether the President would turn the treaty to the senate mainod undetermined, but the re re re- publicans served notice that if he did it would repose for many weeks to come in a committee pigeon-hole. In the vote of 47 to 37 by which the senate washed its hands of the subject and sent the treaty to the white house, the republican leaders had the support of the mild reser vationists as well as the irrecon cilables of their party, while tho democrat:! voted almost solidly in op position. The next step planned by the senate majority is a declaration of state of Deace to relieve the na tions of the war. status which the democrats maintain can be ended only by the treaty's ratification. A fight on that proposal probably will beein when the senate reconvenes Monday. The roll-call on ratification came four months, almost to the hour, af ter the failure of the three attempts at ratification on November 19. On that occasion the greatest strength developed for ratification with the republican reservations was 41 votes, only seven democrats voting with the republicans in the affirmative. The vote again was 51, made up of 13 republicans and 38 democrats. To night's roll-call follows: Here is the Ljne-Up - For the reservation: F Miublicans Ball, Caldar, tier. Colt.

"SYNDICATE OF MOONSHINERS DESCRIBED BY REVENUERS Atlanta, Ga., March 16. Plans by wVitaVi fonrol ntronfo anxr n "svnilwnte of moonshiners' in Cherokee county, Georgia, sought to obtain immunity from federal raids on payment cf $500 a month were described here at a preliminary hearing before a United States commissioner of John Henry Hardin, who has served a term for op erating an illicit distillery. Hardin, according to the officers, was the man who sought to bribe them Ha ont tn inil in default of $3,000 bond. The agents asserted fhat they pre tended to fall in with the plans they ascribed to Hardin and laid a trap for him in a local hotel with other officers and a dictaphone in an adioining room. They testified he paid E. E. Dixon, a federal prohibition agent, $500 cash and promised him $500 each month on' the "understanding that his coterie of officers would make no raids in Chero kee county and would "tip off" the moonshiners if other federal" aeents sought to invade the north Georgia hills around there.

It was learned i on the very best authority at United I 111 I.UJl,, LVlUlliailUVl V 1 VllVy f'" ' ' and who had charge of the guard the day the alleged riot occurred took place in the mess hall, during which one of the puards struck a patient, has been released from his duties. It is understood that Williams has not been discharged from the army but has been transferred to other work. At the same time there is a rumor here that Colonel Lytter, commander of the hospital has been demoted to major, but this cannot be confirmed at the hospital, as the commander is said to have gone to Washington and probably will not be back for several days. Lieutenant Williams, according to the affidavits of several of the pa tients who were in the mess hall at the time of the riot, several weeks ago, jumped on one of the tables and pull ing a pistol from his pocket yelled that he would shoot and order his men to do the same if the riot did not stop. It stopped, fof mad as the men were, thev still had sense enough to know that the lieutenant had the authority to do as he pleased and would proba bly carry cut his orders.

BERLIN IS A BARREL OF GUN POWDER London, March 19. All Germany with the exception of the sout'.icirn states is rebellious, and Berlin is a "barrel of gunpowde; which may be ignited at any time." says a Berlin despatch to the Exchange Teiegrapii Company, filed at Berlin yesterday. The despatch describes the with drawal from Berlin of the Iron divi sion and naval brigades.which march ed down Unter-Den-Linden at 4:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon in the midst of a pouring rain. Crowds, the majority of which were extremist radical workers, looked on as com pany after company filed down the street in the direction of the Branden burg gate on their way to Docberitz. The soldiers marched to the accom paniment of drums and with Prussian banners flying," the message says. "They were armed, carrying their rifles ready to fire and with their fin gers on the triggers. Their behavior could not have been more provocative. The workers-standing on the sidewalks seemed boiling with excitement and none could understand why the troops hart been permitted to withdraw without giving up their arms. Few believed they would keep their promise to disarm at Doeberitz. "Many soldiers smiled mockinely af the crowd, as though saying: "Wait a while; we shall return.' This increas ed the antagonism of the spectators, many of whom shouted, whistled and cat-called, while others hurled such epithets as Scandrels,' 'Beat' and 'Swain', at the soldiers, who responded with contemptuous looks as thev han dled their grenades menacingly. "From the Hotel Adlon, elegantly dressed women 'waved their handker chiefs at the soldiers, this raising to a white heat the rage of the workers. They suddenly made a rush toward the hotel and some- actually invaded the vestibule before beinr repulsed by a strong detachment of security troops 1: li:.i i .1 guniuuig nie aurai missions at, in hostelry. "Hardly had the last soldier passed tne Brandenburg gate when the rear guard turned and fired a volley into the crowd standing in the street. Those near the middle of theroadway had no recourse but to fling themselves on the pavement. Along Unter-Den-Linden, Sommerstrasse and Budapesterasse men started to run away. Many of these were killed or wounded during the firing, which lasted for half a min ute. Four dead and ten wounded were carried into the hotel Adlon. "Members of the security guards sta tioned at the Brandenburg gate did not interfere during the firing, being few in number. "A little later, near the parliament building, a crowd of workers rushed a detachment of Baltic troops who were passing, and the latter began firing, I the sounds of the rifle mingled with the I J""'1 crles a groan of the wounded, For a time all was chaos and pandemo- nium and it appears that in the con fusion the soldiers here shot a number of their own men.

PRISON SENTENCES FOR NEWBERRY AND CAMPAIGN LEADERS Michigan Senator is Declared Guilty and 16 Others Convicted Two Years and $10,000 Are Assessed. Grand Rapids, Mich., March 20. Truman H. Newberry, junior United States senator from Michigan, was today convicted by a jury of having conspired criminally in 1918 to vio late the election laws. We was sentenced by Judge Clar ence W. Sessions to two years im prisonment and fined $10,000, and at once issued a statement declaring his intention to retain his seat in the up per house unless that body decides Otherwise, or the Supreme court up holds his conviction. Sharing the fate of the Senator were his brother, John S. Newberry, and 15 campaign managers, including Fredrick Cody, New York, and Paul H. King, Detroit. Both these men re ceived the limit sentence with their chief. Charles A. Flovd, Detroit, was also sentenced to two years in the peniten tiary, but he was fined only half as much as Newbcrrv. The brother was fined $10,000 and was one of the four men who were not sentenced to Leav enworth. The lightest sentence went to George S. Ladd, of Sturbridge Mass., and he was fined $1,000. The jury was ready with its ver dict at 11:12 a. m. Less than half an hour later they had been discharged by the court after freeing 68 of the 85 defendants. There was a brief respite for luncheon then the senator and his 16 assistants were brought into court again. News of the con victions had been spread around the city and his room was jammed. Ordered to stand before the bar, the men ranged themselves in a cre scent, the senator on the left and his brother next. The stir of ranging the men before the bar died away to absolute still ness. In quiet tones Judge Sessions asked if any of the men wished to say anything before sentence wa3 pro nounced. They stood mute. Then the court, in even voice, read the time honored formula of sentence. "Truman H. Newberrv, in your case it is the judgment of the court that you be confined in the penitentitary at Leavenworth for the full time and period of two years and be fined $10, 000." said the judge. No one stirred as the audience caught :he words that showed the judge had addressed against the prin cinal defendant the haviest sentence allowed by law. Each succeeding sen tence to prison or heavy fine was re ceived in stoical silence. Immediately after tho sentences had been passed Frank C. Daily, of Indiananolis, special assistant attor ney general and chief prosecutor, wip ed the state clean by moving the dis missal of 10 of the one hundred and 35 respondents to the indictment who had pleaded "no contest." He also moved the discharge of Elmer E. White, of Traverse City, who was given a severance because of illness land of James Daily, a Muskegon contractor, wno went to boutn Aremi ca on business before government officials could serve him with a war rant. Ninety days were grated the attor neys for the convicted men in which to perfect an appeal. Then court ad journed. SENTENCES IMPOSED IN NEW BERRY TRIAL.

Denied A Restriction By State Supreme Court Justice Brown Writes the Opinion. Raleigh, March 17. The case of the North Carolina Public Service cor poration against the Southern Power company before the Supreme court on a petition of the Southern Power to re hear, was today dismissed. Justice Brown wrote the opinion, which he said was merely an elaboration of the concurring opinion he wrote at the time the cause was first' decided against the Southern Power. He signed the petition to rehear in order to make a more thorough study of the ease than he was enabled to do when it first came up. The justice holds that the Southern Power company and the plaintiff in this action are not competitors in the ordinary sense of the word, since one sells for wholesale consumption and the other for retail. As a rule a mib- lic service coroporation should not be forced to sell to another public service corporation but this case is an excep tion to the general rule, the court believes. "In my opinion the defendant had the right originally to confine its sale and contracts to those desiring elec tricity for direct personal consumption and thereby retain control of the num ber of its customers limited them to that number it could adequately serve," the opinion states. "But when the defendant voluntarily entered thi field of supplying current to a per son or corporation which does not de sire it for consumption but to sell and distribute to others for their consump tion the case is changed. It becomes subject to the provisional law that it must extend the same treatment to all persons and corporations who stand in like case. It cannot sell to one and arbitrary refuse to sell to another. One corporation desiring current from it for distribution pur poses "rima facie has precisely the same right to obtain it as another. A public service corporation cannot arbitrarily refuse to supply one of a class which it has undertaken to serve. It must justify its refusal by a gdud reason. "If the defendant in the beginning had elected to supply only the individ ual consumer I am satisfied it could not have been compelled to supply smaller corporations engaged in re tailing the electric current, but when defendant commenced and continued to sell its current to such smaller cor porations for purposes of resale and distribution every such corporation has an equal right and it must not discriminate. That does not mean it must sell them all at the same price. The circumstances surrounding each distributing corporations, cost, etc., must be taken into consideration. The only other case of general im portance handed down today was the reversal ol the decision of Judge Con nor granting a mandamus requiring the building inspector of Raeford to issue permits to .he Gulf Refining company to place gasoline and o storage tanks in restricted districts The court held that a town has the1 right to regulate such matters.

WAR RECORDS OF THE TWO PARTIES ARE CONTRASTED $2,000,000 Wasted by G. O. P. "Smell ing Committees" So Cummings Charges Louisvilie, March 18. Wasteful ex- penditure of two million dollars for j "smelling committees" was charged against the republican majority in con- gress by Homer S. Cummings, chair man of the democratic national com mittee, in an address here tonight at a dinner attended by democratic lea der of Kentucky. The committe, Chairman Cum mings said, were appointed to as certain whether there had been any graft in the conduct of the world war but instead "demonstrated that this was the cleanest war ever fought in the history of civilization." "The finger of scorn does not point to one single - democratic official in all of broad America," added M. Cummings. "I want to remind you that it does not lie in the mouths of those who conducted the Spanish American war to indulge in the lux ury of criticism . What is there in this war to compare with the ty phoid infested camps of the war of 1898! What is there in this war to compare to the paper sole shoe con troversy of 1898? What is there in this war to compare to the embalm ed beef scandal of the Spanish American" war ? "We have fought a great war for a great cause and we have had a leadership which has carried Amer ica to greater heights of glory and power and splendor and honor than she has ever known in her history. "The republkr. s have now been in control of the senate and the house for eight months," the chair man continued. "They went in un der false pretenses. They outlined an elaborate program of reconstruc tion that looked very well in the newspapers. They have not only de layed and indefinitely postponed the neace of the world, interferred with American commerce and brought the rate of exchange tumbling down to a point hitherto unknown; but aside from railroad legislation of doubtful value, they have not passed one single constructive act. "Had a democratic Congress been elected, or a Congress in sympathy with the President, the treaty of peace would long ago have been rat ified. Innumerable avenues of trade and commerce would have been opened to An American enterprise, and halted industry would have taken on new and hopeful life." Mr. Cummings characterized the republican platform committee as "a most unusual conglomeration of political misfits." "On that committee," he asserted, "thev have reactionaries and pro gressives, they have Taftites, and Rooseveltians, they have economists and apnropriationists, they have res ervationists, they have bitter-enders, they have capitalists, and pa cificts and militarists and former chairman of the republican national committee, and 17 women, all to go on a vovage of discovery for the PrPose of ascertaining what repub licans principles are. Referring to the presence of a number of women at the dinner, Mr. Cummings said the democratic par ty "possessed an appeal to the wo men of America because of the so cial aspects of the program which has been outlined by its great leader and which has been carried to such a suc cessful elimination." State, central and executive com mittees of the democratic party, meeting here this afternoon, decided to hold the democratic state conven tion in Louisville, Mav 4. Two delegates to the national con vention in San Francisco from each of the 11 Kentucky congressional districts and four delegates from the state at- large will be elected at the meeting. Members of the committees to night attended a dinner with more than 600 democrats leaders of Ken tucky at; which plans were discusse 1 for opening the political campaign in Kentucky at an early date.
