Wilklne was arrested at the Pennsylvania station' here imme dlaiely' arter purchasing a ticket for Mineola. where lie is Wanted. When a. wamnt was issued charging the physician With ittur. dent District Attorney Weeks asserted that a document purporting to be a second Wilt drawn tip at the direction of Mrs.

Wllkina, The estate has been estimated at $65,000. A patrolman off duty, who was waiting at the station for a train, had hla attention called td a man resembling Dr. Wllkins, Who was purchasing ticket for Mlneola. The only apparent difference be tweeh this hiin and published pictures bf the physician was the absence of "mutton chop" whiskers, When Dr. WilklnS approached a telephone booth the patrolman, knowing of the receipt of a tele Igram by District Attorney Weeks OI usttttu couuij Bisneu wun J-r.

Finally the physician decided to go to police headquarters with the patrolman and there his finger prints Were taRef Broyles can only be later developments, Veople began' to swarm into the Vicinity Immediately after the explosion.

They turned east On Fourteenth street "HUNTERS'' SEEN BEFORE. Residents of that section say snail hunters are sometimes seen in the neighborhood. The police, say it is quite possible) that the men were actually snail hunters. Their furtive actions, they say, might easiij be explained by a fear that some of the residents in that neighborhood might object to their hunting for snails. On the other hand, they ay, there la a likelihood that their pretentions that they were hunting for snails might easily be a ruse Whereby suspicion at their presence In tho Vicinity might" be allayed.

Thus, they say, if neighbors did see them in the Greenwood yard, they might tak no particular note of It. 4 Lodge Lowell Debate Is Held T7 Oa, -atja. Crowd Hears League Argued BOSTON', March the leagua ''as asreed upon by the commission of asked if the American people would be willing to send forth "our sons to fight the battles of all th nations of th world." "Vet that I what la demanded," he added. "And tho Amertcaft people should ponder this soberly before accepting a covenant containing any such stipulation." fi Dr. Lowell laflrthe premise for fc argument by asserting that to be effective a league of nations to prevent war must provide for compulsory arbitration.

With penaltle for the offender thnt no hatldn would Ventura to Incur. "The covenant of rarls," he said, "Is very defective In Its draftlnff. It Is easily misunderstood, and has, In fact, been Widely" misunderstood. Let US remember that in Its present shape It Is Intended only as a draft subject to Cor-rtctlon." PROVISIONS SUMMARIZED. He fitimmarised the provision of the covenant and concluded that the obligations assumed by the members of th league wcr "to dd, or abstain from, definite acts, either continuously or en th happening ef events' described; nev er under th orders, or by direction, ot any organ of th league.

Th memhet agree to preserve en another's integrity and Independence absolutely, not because directed -to do so by ths league. "On the other hand," he continued, "the execifUv council IS limited tocOn. auttslion and which tha members of thejeaga are under Obligation to accept Lowell summed up his review of the league In these words: "The strength of Such a league Ilea In the obligations assumed directly by the several members of th league, and thla lb both the most effective and least adventurous method of preventing war." He discussed the various objection that had been raised, saying In parti "An objection brought forward byth opponents of the league is that Aslatlo Immigration, the policy ot a protective tariff, or some other matter of vital domestlo interest may be brought before the executive council for Inquiry and decide against us. It would seem lo be clear that the frametw ot the covenant did not intend to submit to th council the internal affairs ot the members ot the league, end It there 1 any serious doubt on the question, ther will doubtless be no objection to making it perfectly clear." Coming to th Monro Doctrine, Which, he said, ws "th greatest bugbear ot all," Lowell expressed th opinion that th United state would justified In asking for a clause In the covenant that no foreign power should acquire any possession on the American continent or the adjacent Island, i ETg Q(lTV BERKELEY, March a Japanese into Insensibility at Parker street and Shattuck avenue and leaving him lying In the gutter, three youthful bandits' continued their career of crime last hight by boarding a Euclid avenue car In the' Cragmont hills.

According tr Cllhart and Hijtgins the three boys were about seventeen years of afte, and were dressed In shabby clothes.

A. T. Knapp, inspector of the fan Francisco-Oakland Terminal railway declared he saw three boys answering the description of the Bouts train at Hopkins street. The San Francisco, and Oakland police, were notified, but no trace was found of the boys. lAst night's robbery occurred shdrtly after 9 o'clock There were ho passengers on the car at me ume.

Dr. Lowell admitted that the "covenant" heeded clarifications, hut argued that In kulistance, as a plan for the prevention of war.

It was sound. "The question before us," Senator Lodge said, In opening, "th only question of a prtfSfcBff nature. Is whether the league that has been drafted by the commission of the peace conference and laid before It will tend to secure ths peace of tha world as it elands, and whether It Is Jurt and fair to the Cnlted States of America." CHARGES ANSWERED. In answer to the charge that there hsd been no constructive erltlrism of ths lesaus of nations, Senator -Lodge esdaimcd: "My first constructive criticism la that" this covenant ought ta be redrafted." i This Is essential, he edded, because ths sanctity of treaties is vital above all else. As another constructive criticism, he demanded a definite statement tn the covenant of the vote required In the executive council j(or It to "rcm-mend" or "aavlepr "propose," as tha case might be.

Ha also declared tor a "larger reservation of tha Monroe Poctrine," th policy "which stands en two tacts, geography and human nature, that art neither transient nor "It must not be within tlje jurisdiction of ths lesgue of natlqns to, ssy who shall coma Into the United States," he said. "To heveothec nalloiuJi meddle lth eur tariff would run up against our constitution. AMENDMENT OFFERED. "I offer an amendment to exclude questions affecting Immigration and the tariff from the purview of the league aa a fourth constructive criticism." As another constructive criticism, he railed for a provision permitting with draws! from the leagua to make un necessary denunciation or abrogation of th treaty. 1 tn concluding hi opening argument Knstor Lodge referred to the provls Ion for mandatories with Its failure to stat "who will elect them" for tlit nations.

I do not ssy this to transfer sny load from 'my shoulders to his, but It is st the earn time a support to know that my position In this matter Is In agreement with hit expressed conviction." nefcrrlng lo the eharg that the rrlt-IHpini of the covenant were not eon-trucilve, Senator I -ode pointed out a number of ways In which he.

would a me nil the treaty, lsylng specla stress on th need of protection or the Monroe loctrin. "Th hour Is rapidly approaching," said rr. 1Owell, in summing his plea for the covenant, "when wo- must de cide whether our country, shall take It place Ilk a great and generous nation skis by side with others as guaraians of Isw, order and Justlc In th world, or whether It shall turn It foe away from a world In agony." He prefaced -Ills argument with tha statement thst'although he had -always Vga, Inconsistent Republican," and frequently had been in agreement with Henatee li, he could not ogre with his utterance, on the league of nations covenant, snd still less with those of his senatorial colleague.

To meet certsln objection ralstd.
