The Dutch Government Sjend* Note to Paris MANY LEGAL OBSTACLES

The H»s u ' Government Hold* It I* N«t Bound By Tre*ty And That its Honor Does Not Permit Betrayal Of Refugee. London.—Holland's refusal to per »it extradition of the G»rman ex Kaieer will rot end the effort* of the Allies to brins 'he deposed wir lord to trial. The Allies will net accept me refusal as final and a long series of aecret leaal arguments probably will j

follow.

This opinion of the next step that will t < taken by the Allies was ex- • pressed by authorltatire sonrro* close | to Lo:d Chancellor Barkenbead and Atty.-Gea. Sir Gordon Heivart. At the same lim*. however, the consensus of opinion in England is that Holland will gel the best of the negotiations that are to come, and that It ultimately will be shown that the former Emperor is not to be bad unless be voluntarily snr.enders. This Is regarded as an extremely remote possi-

bility.

Holland's replv refusing to give up the cx-Kai*er will be presented to the Supreme Council as Its next meeMag in London. U is Intimated that the Allied legal expert* are prepared to answer Holland's principal objections, which rest on the following four points: America's defiectioc. Holland's Interpretation if the rights of political refugees the fact that Holland is not amenable to the peace treaty, to which she is not a party, and. final!... Holland's interpretation of the r.ghu ot aoutral*. The Council of Premiers probably will receive the reply officially, alttioagb the Ambassadors of the varlou* countries may direct the exchange of cote* with Holland. It wa* intimated that arrangements already have been made for private conference* between Lord Bcrkcchead, Hewart two Otter representatives of the Allies with Butch legal authorities, in which Holland i objections will be discussed. Inasmuch as the arguments to be advanced by the Allied legal author!- ' tie* will be identical w.ih the evidence ; that later would be presented at the ! trie! of the cx-Knlser. publicity ts de- i dared to be fmpossible. In view of the altitude that ha* been tuken by the German Govern- I meet. ;t Is not believed the Berlin an- J tborit.es would not ask that me Kaiser j be turned over to them, even should | Holland intimate that such a request I

would be granted.

Tht best that the Ailiee may gat out j of their efforts to try the Kaiser her*. Is an opportunity officially to publish I the evidence that has been amassed against him. This would come after the final negotiations with th" Dutcc authorities have been concluded. FOR WORLD'S BIGGEST HOTEL Between 75.000 And 100.000 To Own

Since the World has been the leading metropolitan organ of the Wilson ad ministration this aroused great Interest and same excitement In the Democratic camp. The Important question, o' course, was whether or not It meant that Mr. Hoover was the choice of Mr. Wilson. No ore could answer this officially. Some of the Southern Demiv crats said they would not favor Hoovei because they considered him a Repute Bean; some of the members of the party from the West thought the farmers would oppose t m because he put a fixed price on wheat and let cotton soar. Mr. Hoover himself maintained a dignified silence. The secretary of the Bryan league says Colonel House Is responsible for the Hoover boom. There has l>ecn some talk of Edward 1. Edwards, the wet governor of New Jersey, as the Democratic nominee, and there, too. Mr. Bryan comes to the front. Be says he would oppose any such movement and would not he a delegate to the convention If Nebraska should instruct for Edward*. Furthermore. if Homer b. Cummings favors EJwards he will never again he national ehalrman of the Democratic party If Bryan ran prevent !L So tlK-rc l While the federal prohibition agent* nre seizing nillllotis of dollars* worth of liquors and the hootlegg-.T* on the border* r.nd the moonshiners everywhere :<re making small fortunes, one wisp of hope Is held out to the wets. The Supreme court of the Cnlted States has granted tn Rhode Island permlv slon to Institute In that court original proceedings to test the validity of both tbe prohibition amendment to the Constitution end the VnisK ad enforcement act. The suit Is brought by direction of the Rhode Islmd legislature, which refused to ratify tbe amendment. It is alleged that tbe amendment Is an luterference with the state police powers and a violation of the fifth constitutional amendment, and Is “usurpatory. unconstitutional and void." A generally overlooked ferture of the prohibition law which Is of Immense interest to thousands of property owners wxs brought to public attmtlon last week. This sectl.m Impose* a fine of not more than 32.000 er n prison sentence of not mere than two years on tbe owners of property upon which are displayed signs or jiesters advertising liquors which are Intoxicating.

In Chicago William Brows Lloyd, the millionaire communist. end 34 of his fellows were Indicted for conspiracy to overthrow the government.
