SPRINGFIELD, 111., July 22. Warrants, issued by the Sangamon County Circuit Court for the arrest of Governor Small, remained unserved this afternoon, when Judge Smith recessed the court until 2 o'clock, after listening to the arguments of three lawyers, who entered “as friends of the court'' to offer advice. The judge, in remarks following the oral presentation of an opinion advising the Governor not to submit to arrest, thanked the lawyers for their advice and said he would take their arguments under advisement. The case against the Governor, however. remains status quo, the judge still retaining the warrants on the bench. When asked as to what effect the proceedings had on the statue of the case. Judge Smith merely said: "Nothing has transpired here this morning to change the status of the case.” * His remarks were generally taken as an Indication that the warrants will be held In court to allow counsel for the Governor to appear and tile bond for his appearance. He Intimated that a reasonable time would be allowed the Governor, in case the warrants are not withdrawn, to submit to the court's original decision.

SPRINGFIELD, 111., July 22.—“ The king can do no wrong'' was the basis of he piea made by attorneys for Len Stead. Governor of Illinois. In Sangamon County Circuit Court today. Their argument was made in an effort to convince the court that the chief executive did not bave to submit t<> arrest and trial on indictments charging him with stealing millions of dollars of State money while serving as State treasurer. The Governor's attorneys In their argu ment to the court, cited a hypothetical case wherein they outlined the situation which would result if a Governor was accused of a crime, the sheriff's forces attempted to arrest him, the Governor, al commander in chief of the military forces, called on the troops to resist and an anned clash followed. "Aaarchy will follow," the attorneys told the court. "The house of government Is divided against itself.” CKABI.E TO GET A FAIR TRIAL. Legal advisers of the executive Informed the court that the constitution forbids that he submit to arrest. To do so they pointed out, would be a surrender of the sovereignty of the executive branch of the Government. The attorneys declared it would be ridiculous to try the Governor for a crime, and convict him, when he would have power to pardon himself. According to the Governor's friends, he la willing to have a “fair and Impartial trial'* but they declare he could not get It In Sangamon county. The county offl elals are bitter political enemies of the Governor. Juat as his attorneys appeared before Jndge Smith to demand that the court declare the executive immune from irMt Governor Small issued a statement to the citizens of Illinois. With the Governor at all times, is Adjt. Gen. Frank S. Dickson, active commander of State troops. The Governor's statement, after naming his attorneys, who included former Governor Joseph W. Fifer, declared: “My counsel advises me that to sutmit myself to the court and stand trial In the ordinary course of the administration of criminal law would amount to a practical surrender of the sovereignty of the State in violation of my oath of office. "They declare that It is my duty under the constitution to decline to waive the Independence of the executive department, that it would be a violation of my oath of office and would necessarily result in embarrasment to tbe State government. "They point out, with unanswerable authority, that the exemption of a Governor from arrest and trial upon criminal charges during his terra of office is not a personal privilege but an exemption in the Interest of the public welfare and to perpetuate the independence of the executive department. “I accept these conclusions as irrevocably by thpir very force, pointing out to me the course I should pursue, and 1 shall therefore not attempt to waive the constitutional exemption.” The statement was signed by the Governor. - Soldiers are already guarding and protecting the Governor. Small detachments of troops were seen, unostentatiously around the capltol grounds and through the state house and about the Governor's mansion. CHICAGO. July 22.—Attorney General Brundage today expressed the opinion that Governor Len Small would not be prosecuted on tbe interest charges until his term ended should Judge Smith of Sangamon County, declare him “immune” from arrest. The Attorney General declared the State could not appeal from such a decision. “If the court rules in favor of Governor Small the State's hands would be tied The case so far as the Governor Is concerned would remain in statu quo and tile prosecution of the others would be tEken up at once,” said Brundage. •The idea that a Governor cannot be Vroeeruied apparently Is an Inheritance from the English common law theory, ‘the king can do no wrong.' But we are a long way from kings In this country.” WEATHER Forecast for Indianapolis and viclnltv for the twenty-four hours ending 7 p. m., July 23: Fair tonight and probably Sat’ arday: nut much change in temperature.

U. S. Assures Small Nations Their Rights Will Be Guarded

WASHINGTON, July 22.—The United States has given small nations assurance that their rights will be guarded and protected during the discussion of Far Eastern policies in President Harding's disarmament conference. It was learned at the State Department today. The United States has sent communications to Belgium, the Netherlands and Portugal which state decisively that this Nation has no disposition to disregard the interests of these smaller nations in the Far East during the discussions which will be taken up at the parley of the larger powers. Informing these governments of the attitude of the United States, the Administration has taken care to make it plain the connection of Belgium and the other powers with the conferen e would not be such as to justify the inference that the original plan of limiting tbe discussions to the principal allied and associated powers had been abandoned. It Is recognized, however, that Belgium. The Netherlands and Portugal have large Interests in the Pacific and the Far East and the administration believes these countries should have an opportunity to be heard. The suggestions forwarded to Belgium, Holland and Portugal with regard to their representation In the conference are understood to have been purely tentative the Administration taking the attitude It would not be warranted in laying down definite rules or regulations for the conference. Emphasis was laid on the desire of President Harding and Secretary Hughes to keep the conference within the original limitations however, as It is felt any departure from thla

LONDON, July 22—“ President” De Valera carried Great Britain's peace offer to Ireland today. “The immediate future is uncertain,’’ he told a cheering crowd which bade him farewell at a railway station here. "We have perfect confidence in the ultimate success of our cause.” Dp Valera's train left at 7 :30 a. in., but the early hour did not deter hundreds of Irish enthusiasts from crowding the platform at which the train stood. Ibe smoky aisles were massed with men and women under a forest of Sinn Fein flags and self determination banners. De Valera obviously was touched by tbe demonstration. Speaking in a low voice, he talked first iu Gaelic, then repeated the speech In English. "You show genuine sympathy for the Irish cause by coming down here at this eardly hour.” he said. rOlM* ENTHUSIASM IN AMERICA. “Everywhere I go I find the same enthusiasm. It was so In America. N<> cause but a Just cause can inspire such enthusiasm. "A just cause is bound to win. It may take some time to achieve our ends, but success certainly will be ours In the end."

If the offer is the maximum. It was learned authorltively the conference will end without the waste of much time. The Sinn Feiners. however, do not believe the government will refuse to 'clarify the proposals. Likewise because 'of the government's preparedness, tbe Irish believe n breaking off of the ! negotiations now would be more to Lloyd George's advantage than to the Sinn Fein's. Lloyd George's offer which was not specific, left De Valera and his aides Ignorant of the degree of home rule that will be offered Ireland. They hold that the most vital of all questions.

With the acquiescence of Samuel Lewis Shank, Republican candidate for mayor, Irving Lomaux, In a!i probability, will remain the eh airman of the Republican city committee throughout the city cam palgu. All plans for the calling of the committee and the election of anew chairman were called off today, after long negotiations for an uwteubie settlement of the chairmanship question had failed to produce a candidate on which the two factions in the Republican ranks could agree. Mr. Shank continued to hold out for Dr. E. E. Hodgln us his choice for the chairmanship. Mr. Lemaux refused to call a meeting of the committee and submit his resignation until It was definitely determined who would be elected to succeed him. The followers of Dr. liodgln could not obtain tbe chairmanship for him and Mr. Shank expressed a desire to see Lemaux remain chairman rather than have a fight on the floor of the committee meeting. CHAIRMAN TO AID CANDIDATE. It Is understood that the differences between Mr. I.amtix and Mr. Shank have been practically Ironed out nnd that the chairman hns agreed to give his best cf forts for the election of the nominee. The original cause of friction between the two was a report which reached Shank to the effect that Lcmaux was planning to send his resignation to the committee with a letter declining to assist in any way in the election of Shank The nominee wrote a letter demanding Lemeux's resignation for the avowed purpose of preventing Lemaux from injuring him by declining to serve as chairman of the committee that Is presumed to elect the party nominee.

Whisky Fleet Operates Off 3-Mile Limits Ships Sellinv Liquor Outside New York Are Not Subject to Seizure. WASHINGTON, July 22.—Mystery ships that have been reported off tho Atlantic seaboard recently wers undoubtedly part of a whisky "fleet,” according to Government officials. The bureau of navigation of the Department of Commerce in view of apparently well-founded reports of a "floating bar” off Long Island is proceeding In its investigation of the reports of a pirate craft on the theory the mystery lias liquor at its bottom, uifleiula of the bureau stated today they found it easier to believe one or more mysterious ships are engaged in running liquor from the Bahamas to the United Status than to tHke stock in the theory of crews of pirates bold operating off the American shores. Prohibition Commissioner Haynes was blocked In his proposed search of tho sen* by advices from the customs service that revenue cutters aire not available at tills time for deep sea duty nnd will be able to conduct the Search only within the three milo limit.
