(By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, Nov. 27. Attack was renewed in the senate today on the views of ex-Premier Clemenceau, of France, as expressed in his American speeches. Senator Hitchcock, of Nebraska, ranking Democrat on the

foreign relations committee, striking back at the Tigers reply to his recent speech, called attention that Clemenceau said: "Senator Hitchcock has been retired from office by the people." "Let me say," continued the senator, "that if. Clemenoeau was also out of office by the vote of . the people." . Senator Hitchcock challenged the former premier's , denial that France was using black troops in the German zone, and as proof of his contention that Clemenceau's reply was "in line with his record for reckless statements," puts in the record an authori tative statement showing that in Oc tober France had 23,000 black troops on the Rhine. ABOARD CLEMENCEAU'S PRI VATE CAR, Enroute to Chicago, Nov. 27. Deep in a campaign for France that already has brought attacks by Democrats as well as Republicans on the senate floor, and criticism from the British government. Georges Clemenceau, Tiger of France, today declared he would speak his piece out in his own way, no matter whom he offended. The Franco premier of war days, it was learned today, has- received dozens of telegrams from friends and well-wishers of France urging him to tone down- his remarks so that they will not offend any portion of the nation he came to win. One telegram urged him to "say things that America wants to hear, and be expedient" "I did not come here to be expedient," Clemenceau declared when he received this message. "I came to tell the truth. I did not come to say pleasing things, but to say the things that, would be of value; in my judgment, to help preserve (he peace of the world." "I have never been a compromiser. Now that I have one foot in the grav, least of all will t make a sacrifloevto be, expedient. I don't want a success of expediency." ' ' ' Not To Alter Msaq. Besides the telegrams, Clemenceau has had personal suggestions from men of importance as to how he should conduct his self-imposed tak of seeking American co-operation in settling the old" world differences. I To one who suggested plans to him in New York yesterday just before he left for Chicago, where he is to speak Tuesday, the Tiger replied," slapping him on the back: ' That is a good mission for you.. I may be wrong but I must deliver my message in my own way no matter who dislikes it." It was learned today that Clemenceau wns , considering1 some changes in his itinerary. "One place that he is considering adding Is the mining town of Clemenceau, Arizona., . .. . i Mining men of that town have besieged him with please to come, offering to donate the proceeds of the run of the copper mines for the day of his visit to anv charity he names. The sum realized would be about $23,000 he was advised. "I should like to go there," he said. But whether he will i3 still undecided. (By United Press) CHICAGO, Nov. 27. A salute of French "roarin' 75's" will greet Georges Clemenceau when he arrives here this afternoon. ; Guns from the Argonne will fire a salute of welcome when the reception committee headed by General Pershing meets the "Tiger" as he steps off his special train. The veteran statesman will be con ducted through the Loop, where the tri color of France, along with the frtars and Stripes floats from office buildings j en route in honor of his visit to the; city. . Clemenceau will make but one platform appearance during his stay here when he delivers a speech at the Auditorium theatre tomorrow afternoon. Brig. General Charles G. Dawes at this time will present the "Tiger" to Chicago. ' CHICAGO POLICE PROBE BOOTLEG OPERATIONS FOR MURDER CLUE (By Uniteil Press) CHICAGO, Nov. 27. Operations of a gang of bootleggers were probed by police today as a possible clue to the unraveling of the mysterious murder of "Handsome Joe" Ianus, millionaire auto dealer. The wealthy automobile man, who was shot and killed from behind in the rear of his garage, is now believed to have been a victim of the leader of a ring of bootleggers. Lanus. according to authorities, was financing the whisky ring of which the man sought is the head. The bootlegger engaged Lanus in a violent quarrel shortly before the murder, the police said, and disappeared suddenly after the shooting. Lanus is said to have accused tha bootlegger of "double crossing" him in a financial deal, and with threatening to expose him without disclosing his own connection with the ring. $100,000 FIRE DAMAGE (By United Press) DALLAS, Tex- Nov. 27 Damage estimated at $100,000 was caused by fire which partially destroyed the Marvin building, a four-story structure.

WOODMAN, RAE AND JAMES ANSWER REASONS GIVEN FOR NON-ATTENDANCE AT CHURCH

Reasons given for not attending church were answered by Rev. Charles M. Woodman, J. J. Rae and- H. S. James in sermons Sunday. One hundred and two persons were interviewed recently and reasons for non-attendance at church were compiled into a pamphlet, copies ot which were sent to all the local ministers. "The meeting is the dynamic for every kind of propaganda," declared Rev. Charles M. Woodman, pastor of the West Richmond Friends church, in the first of a series of sermons on the "Value of Church Attendance," which he delivered to his congregation at the church Sunday morning. "Students,, teachers, politicians, citizens; laborers, churchmen, get together, for Inspiration and power. By meeting .together they become a force in the community. Every" educator knows that a mind develops better with other minds than when it seeks development by ' Itself or "with a tutor. " If we would have a broad, deep grasp on spiritual ity, we must do it with others," 6aid the' pastor. Flat denial was made of the fre quent assertion that a man can wor ship God as well, in the field and the forest as in the meeting for worship This excuse for non-church-going is uusally offered by those who never really worship in this way, Rev. Wood man explained, and these persons have no comprehension of the mighty pro gram of the Almighty in its world TIERNAN BACK HOME; MAY PRACTICE WITH RALPH OBENCHAIN (By United Press) SOUTH BEND, Ind., Nov. 27. Professor John P. Tiernan jilted his "mail order bride" today and went back to his first and legal wife, Augusta Tiernan. ' X Tiernatfs second wife, Mrs. Blanche Brimme -whose marriage to the professor was declared illegal a few hours after .they were wedded in Crown Point Saturday, returned to her home in Iowa,. admittedly disillusioned. The professor, who wooed and won his second wife by correspondence and married her two. days after divorcing his first wife, forsook the widow for his first love when he-learned she had been the central figure of. at least two former marriages ,. and divorce - entanglements. "That" woman deceived me," Tiernan said., "She told me Brimmer was dead and I understand he still lives." Start Life Over Again The Tiemans in their little home here prepared to start life all over again. Mrs. Tiernan-, who - accused Harry Poulin,, local haberdasher, of the pater. nity of her baby in a recent sensa tional legal suit here, made no effort to conceal ' her jealousy of "Wife No. 2." V . "You left me for that Blanche," she screamed at her husband. "How could you? You used to fling those letters in front of my face, you even showed me her picture, but I never thought you would marry her." - "That woman I hate her," , she sobbed. . , Tiernan, cold, speculative, regarded it all as an interesting "case." Profsor of law, he laid plane for opening up a practice in Chicago, specializing on what he tered "family cases." "I have never met Ralph Obenchain,'" said Tiercan. "But I understand he is a good lawyer and a fine fellow and I think we ought to get together and talk things over." Tiernan and Obenchain, it was said, had planned to establish a law partnership in Chicago. SOUTH BEND, Ind., Nov. 27. Judge Chester Montgomery of the St Joseph superior court, stated that the Tiernan divorce case would not be in court today. So far as he knew, the Tiernans had taken no actionto bring about the disposition of the case, previous to Dec. 11. the date on which it is docketed. George Sands, attorney for the former Notre Dame professor, ha3 not heard from Tiernan since he left the courtroom last Thursday.

LOUIS, Nov. 27 Ix)cal astronomers were seeking an explanation today for the earth tremors that shook southern Illinois last nizbt. Seismic disturbances were reported in Eldorado and Benton, 111., in the heart of the Illinois coal fields. The shocks lasted only - several minutes but were of sufficient strength to shake houses and barns. Chimneys of residences at Eldorado tumbled to the ground. The tremors, which were recorded on the seiamograph at St. Louis university, were said to have been of moderate intensify and confined to a southeasterly direction from St. Louis. - None of the shocks lasted more than two or three minutes. The entire series of vibrations occurred between 9:31 and 9:39 p. m. Quakes too slight to be noticed by human senses, are frequently recorded in southern Illinois and parts of Mis souri, it was said at the astronomical department of St. Louis university. No definite explanation for the disturbances has yet been found, but it is believed the abundance of bituminous coal, lying dorment under the surface, is sometimes igntied by combustible gases,' causing the slight shocks. - SANTIAGO, Chile, Nov. 27. Property of the American Refining and Smelting company and small coastal boats were destroyed, and larger ships . damaged, in Sunday's earthquake and tidal wave north of Coquimbo, according to dispatches here today. The latest tremors shook the northern coast of Chile for miles. No loss of life was reported. Carrizal and Bajo bore the brunt of a wave which swept over the Smelting company's branch property in th-j two towns. Vessels in the harbors were dashed against waterfront structures or ewept ashore. 20 HURT, 4 ARRESTED AS RESULT OF IRISH RIOTING IN GOTHAM (By United Press) NEW YORK, Nov. 27. Twenty persons are injured and four under arrest today as the result of rioting wherein 5,000 Irish Republican sympathizers routed firemen and police reserves here last night. An effigy of King George was burned at the height of fighting which was precipitated when the police tried to prevent an overflow meeting outside the Earl Carroll theatre held to denounce execution of Erskine Childers and "murder" of Mary MacSwiney. The rioting raged for hours. Women led the Irish "rebels" clawing faces of policemen and tearing their uniforms from them. The officers were finally forced to withdraw and watch the disturbance die out shortly after midnight. Peter MacSwiney. brother of Mary MacSwiney and Mrs. Muriel MacSwiney, widow of the lord mayor of Cork, were among the speakers inside the theatre. When the 5.000 outside failed to get in after the theatre was packed, part jof the overflow started a parade.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 27. Without a record vote, the house today elimin ated from the administration shipping bill a section which would have permitted the shipping board to sell any vessels of the government's merchant fleet without advertising or competitive bidding.

DUFFIN ASKS CLOSE ALLIANCE OF PASTORS AND HEALTH OFFICERS Close relationship between the Min isterial Alliance and the city health authorities was stressed by Dr. Charles E. Duffin, city health officer, Monday. Dr. Duffin emphasized the function and necessity of the city health department. Dr. Duffin said: "There is no professional man who can reach any nearer the sacred confines of the hearts and homes of humanity than a minister of the gospel or a physician and in the degree of closeness should come their co-operative and helpful assistance and counsel to each other in their fight for material as well as spiritual education of humanity." The degree of consideration for the young manhood and the young womanhood of the city shows that the boys in this community have a decided advantage over the girls, said Mr. Duffin. He made reference to the boys' work now being carried forward by the .Y. M. C. A: and the boy's camp at Camp Kl-Ro, and the father and son meetings. . Asks' Question. " "But do we hav a T. nr. C. A.?

"What' could be done for the young girls of our city In the way of pleasure consideration, protective measures socially and morally, the development of a personal protective pride?" "Why not place an additional de partment, much needed by the Social service bureau for the comfort, protection and education of our young girls, since we have no Y. W. C. A.? "With a nominal amount of expense an addition could be put to the Social Service headquarters to supply rooms for rental purposes sufficient in number to accommodate all young girls who come into Richmond for factory work and business college training. Make it a young women's headquarters, with a reading room, rest room, study room, and a lunch room, if necessary.

INDIANA CONGRESSMEN PLAN FOR SAVING U.

LAUSANNE, Nov. 27. Lord Curaon, the British foreign secretary today authorized an official statement to the press that England supports the American "open door" policy in Turkev and regards the San Remo agreement for division of the Mosul oil district as null and void. LAUSANNE, Nov. 27. Turkish del egates of the Near East conference today prepared the way for Turkish fights for abandonment ot the extra territorial privileges enjoyed by foreigners by distributing copies of the famous "national" pact . This convention adopted by the Turkish National assembly embodies the Ottoman demands at Lausanne, Article Six of this pact, Insists that Turkish complete independence is necessary for the country's natural devel opment and that every jurisdical and financial restriction opposed from without will be opposed. . Demand Recognition. The Lausanne conference Is proving a good second to Versailles in the large number of petitions received from the people and nations demand ing recognition and independence. A committee of the secret Revolution organization of Macedonia has come -forward to Insist upon a free Macedonia under protection of the League of Na tions or some mandatory. The petitioners in pointing out that the country is now divided among Greece Jugo-Slavio, and Bulgaria, alleged that mistreatment by "torture and assassination" has arisen from the hatred that exists between the govern ing states and the governed people. The latter includes, Bulgarians, Turks, Greece, Elbania, Wallachians and Hun garians. The arrival of the advance guard of Russians headed by M. Rakowski, president of the Ukraine republic has given new zest to the con ference deliberation. On his arrival last night M. Kokoweki said that the Russians stood "cleanly behind Turkey in all she may ask for In open or neutral waterways which means bo much to southern Russia." LONDON, Nov. 27. The statement of Ambassador Child at Lausanne last Saturday, In which he declared that the United States government has the support of the American public in its opposition to all secrets and agre ments, particularly those designated to create zones of economic and commercial Influence, such as the San Reno tripartite agreement of 1920, which apportioned the Mesopotamia oil field among three big powers, is the outstanding feature of the London morning newspapers, which, having no Sunday issues, take the first opportunity today to discuss what some term "dramatic intervention" and "the American bombshell." -Although some regard the ambassa. dor's pronouncement as intended to give notice of an American determination to have a share in the Mosul oil fields, this view is not universally put forth and several influential papers treat Mr. Child's declaration as timely and welcome. ; 1 . The Times says: "The statement. Is of wider importance than anything yet settled at Lausanne. It contains no new doctrine, but re-affirms an old doctrine at a moment which has been carefully chosen." It, suggests that Americans do not Intend to allow anything to happen without protest at Lausanne which would make more difficult the maintenance of American rights when they come to make their own treaty witii Turkey. The Daily Mail believes there Is -no difference between the views of the British and American governments respecting the quality of opportunities in the near east The Daily Telegraph's diplomatic expert declares that the assumption that Ambassador Child referred especially to countries under British mandates is a misrepresentation. This newspaper asserts that provision has always been made for American participation with Great Britain and France in the Mosul oil fields. The Daily Chronicle apparently sunposes that Mr. Child was hitting ai Great Britain: - " "Nothing is further from British diplomacy," this newspaper says, "than to steal marches upon the United States, and if the latter had been willing to accept the mandates in Mesopotamia and Palestine, we should have been delighted. But she has not and now it is scarcely possible to effect a blind' divorce between responsibility and economic status." - - Mr. Child's speech is welcomed by the Westminster Gazette "as at least the beginning of a recognition that the -United States can not wholly disinterest herself from European problems." $10 A MONTH BONUS FOR INDIANA VETS WILL BE PROPOSED (By United Press) ' INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 27.
