FRIENDS OF LEAGUE CONDEMN ADDRESS OF

HARVEY IN ENGLAND ..WABrlllNUlu,. way fi. iuv address delivered at the Pilgrims dinner in XiOnuon' oj l-oi.. vjcuisc i ia.i cj , American ambassador, -was received with consternation and amazement in some quarters here, and was roundly condemned as presumptuous and untactful - by friends ol the League of Nations.' Typical of their views were those of Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska, leader of the fight in the senate for ratification of the treaty of Versailles. Senator Hitchcock's View. "Col. Harvey evidently forgot that he -was speaking, as the ambassador from the United States." said Senator Hitchcock. "His address was filled with improprieties. His attempt to commit Harding's, administration to his own harrow and extreme views on the League of Nations may succeed. I shall be very much surprised, however, if President Harding gave him the authority to do so. Neither the ambassador to Great Britain nor the ambassador to any other country is the one to announce the foreign policy of the United States." Senator Hitchcock went on to say that "Col. Harvey's flings at ex-President Wilson were indecent," and that "Col. Harvey's analysis of the motives which led the United States to enter the war is a discreditable performance." . 1 "That analysis." he continued, "puts the United States on the lowest possible level and seeks to becloud, if not to besmirch, the great record made by this nation in that crisis of the world's history." "Col. Harvey's description of an Anglo-American alliance, in the vision of Britannia and Columbia hand in hand for mutual benefit, -.hardly expresses the aspirations ofthe American people." s ' '. Lodge Challenges Critic. Senator McKellaf,. Democrat. Ten nessee charged Mr. Harvey with hav ing made "remarkably conflicting statements'Mn declaring that this na-, t.n ,ta Kao onvthino- tn An i tion would -not have anything to do with the.'.League of Nations or its commissions. -while announcing that he would represent this government in consideration of the Silesian question. "The supreme council," said Senator McKellar, " is acting for it (the League of Nations) and ; appointed by it." . Apparently some of those at the dinner did not pay much attention to Mr. Harvey's declarations, he added, and quoted from the address of Premier , Lloyd George, congratulated Amerjca on "coming in" to European councils. "., "And he says he's not going in," said Senator, McKellar, . regarding the American, ambassador. Senator Lodge,- Republican, Massachusetts, interrupted to suggest that Senator McKellar learn the difference between the .League of Nations and the supreme council.

Y., May 21 Trolley service was resumed today after a second night of disorders attendant upon the strike of the employes of the United Traction company, called nearly four months ago. At least ten persons were injured, two of them seriously, in the disorders last night. Trolleys were again partly wrecked, passengers were hit by missiles, police charged the crowds and were them' selves targets for flying stones. The police reported that on Broadway shots were fired from the roofs of buildings. Near the state capital one policeman fired a shot that wounded a man in the leg. Howard W. Slade, a passenger on a car stoned as it was ap proaching the state capital, suffered a fractured skull. The authorities attribute the disor ders to their campaign to drive the motor buses, which have been competing with the street cars, from the thoroughfares. Mexican Radicals Quiet; Obregon Holds Statement (By Associated Press) MEXICO CITY, May 31 Hope is entertained here that the controversy between radicals and members of the Liberal constitutionalist party in the chamber of deputies may be adjusted without an open break. More than a week has passed since alleged Bolsheviki forced their way into the chamber and interrupted deliberations there, and belief is expressed that, with the first bitterness dissipated, the deputies may be able to compose their differences, or at least declare a truce. There was perfunctory debate over a section of the Agrarian bill in the chamber last evening, and the opposing factions did not indulge in any exchange of invectives.' The members apparently were marking time until President Obregon sends an answer to the memorial relative to alleged radicals in the gjvcmment. employ which was sent him early this week by the Liberal-Constitutionalists. The chamber will not meet today, and President Obreson will leave tonight for Cordoba, state of eVra Cruz. Thus it is probable his answer will not be despatched until after his return on Sunday. AUTO DEALERS TO MEET. Members of the Wayne county automotive dealers association will meet Monday evening. Heads of tire and accessory concerns especially are requested to be present.

PROPOSES NEW PLAN IN BRITISH STRIKE (By Associated Press) LONDON, May 21. British mine owners are reported to have brought forward a new plan which may result in a settlement of the miners' strike, which this morning entered upon its fifty-first day. The details of the new plan have not been divulged, but it is declared there is reason to believe that they will suggest that wages should be governed by the cost of living. George Roberts, Laborite member of parlia ment and former food controller, speaking Thursday night, said the strike had been prolonged because of the "cowardice of miners' leaders in not telling the men the trutii."

ADVERSE REPORTS ON WINTER WHEAT CAUSE BETTERMARKET R ATE (By Associated Presa) CHICAGO, May 21. Big upturns in the value of wheat have taken place this week in connection with reports of a precarious outlook for the winter crop. Compared with a week ago. wheat prices this morning were 8c to 16c higher, whereas corn was down

l to z7c, and oats on to ivc. In provisions, the net changes varied from 27c decline to 20c advance. Strength in the wheat market was based largely on advices that the 1921 yield of wheat in Nebraska and the southwest would depend to a large degree on favorable weather during th next week or two. It was also admitted by the majority of traders that the winter crop as a whole bad been damaged to a material extent by unseasonable low temperature at crit ical times, and by recent lack of sufficient rain. Meagerness of the visible supply total and of the 6tock on hand in Chicago, together with prospective speedy enactment of the Emergency tariff bill gave additional force to the upward swing of the market, especially as seaboard interests appeared to be conspicuous in the buying. Forecasts of lower wages for railroad employes had only a temporary bearish influence. Passage of an anti-pit bill through one branch of the Illinois legislature failed likewise to count as a depressing factor except very briefly. NEW YORK. May 21. The stock market was in a state of confusion and irregularity this week. Leaders as well as obscure special Issues forf&itAd t -a r trt olmnst 1A nnints in the last half of the period. General trade conditions as reviewed by competent critics, presented few encouraging aspects, and the foreign situation as reflected in the Silesian controversy tended to unsettle the international markets. Although all the reserve bank branches now are on a lower rediscount basis, the domestic money market remains firm for all forms of accommodation. Conservative opinion inclines to the belief that no easement of rates 13 probable before the midyear. Rails had a brief upward spurt following announcement of the proposed wage reduction, but those stocks reacted when it became evident that thcut would be opposed by organize'! labor and that the farming interests had launched a new campaign for lower freight rates. Bankers reported a better feeling v. the investment market and this wa borne out by the fairly successful offering of several new underwriting--Negotiations for a new French loan approximating $100,000,000 are said to be approaching completion. Indianapolis Company Gets Gravel Loader Contract The Frank E. Ott company, of In dianapolis, was granted the contracr for a gravel loader by the countv commissioners Saturday morning.
