GENEVA, August 29. — Solution - of the Silesian question, which has puzzled the ablest diplomats of the allied na- tions for many months, was taken up here today by the council of the league of nations. Viscount Ishii, A. J. Balfour of Eng- land, Leon Bourgeois of France, Paul Hymans of Belgium, Marquis Imperiali of Italy, Wellington Koo of China; Count Quinones de Leon of Spain and Gastona da Cunha of Brazil, all members of the council, were present. The fact that they were ready for today's session, and were not represented by substitutes in any case, was taken as an indication of & y d 06 ! the importance the council attached o |jce, the Silesian question. Viscount Ishii, president of the council, had prepared a formal report on Silesia, and was ready to present the documentary evidence placed hands by the supreme allied council. In some quarters it was believed today that the council of the league, after hearing the report, would decide to refer the question to one of its members for more detailed treatment. There was little e: pectation that a decision would be an- nounced for same considerable fime. It was anticipated that the assembly of the league of nations, which will meet here next Monday, might be able to finish its work in three weeks. It was -indicated that Paul Hymans of Belgium would again be elected presi- dent of the assembly 1.500 VAGANT LOTS IND.C. HAVE WEEDS List Compiled by Police Re- ferred to Health Depart- ment” for Action. A list of more than 1,500 pieces of vacant land in the thickly settled sed- tions of the District on which weeds have been permitted to grow has been compiled by the police department and was referred to the health depart- ment today for action. An act of Congress, which Commis- sioner Oyster has set out to enforce, makes it unlawful for the owner of vacant ‘land to allow weeds to grow higher than four inches. The small corps ¢f -sanitary in- spectors of the health department will trace the land records to ascer- tain the present owners of all of this property in order ot serve the seven- day notice, to remove the weeds, as provided for in the law. Dificult Task. This task of ascertaining the names of the owners and then finding the persons is a difficult one, in view of the fact that much of the undeveloped property in the city is owned by peo- ple who do not live in Washington. The anti-weed law authorizes the Commissioners to cut the weeds when the gwner cannot be found or'fails to dé so, the cost of the cutting to be assessed against the property, The health department, however, has no specific appropriation for en- forcement of the weed law, and it is doubtful if the appropriation for the abatement of nuisances in general wouid be ample to cover all of the violations of the weed law that have been reported by the police. Public Land Being Cleared. ‘While the health department is en- deavoring to enforce the law on pri- vate property, Clifford Lanham, super- intendent of trees and parkings, has a gang of twenty men clearing publi¢ space of weeds. Commissioner Oyster does not be- lieve the District should require citi- zens to live up to the anti-weed law unless the city)s own property also i8 kept clear. APPROVE HIGHER RATE _ FOR POSTAL SAVINGS Increase From 2 to 3 Per Cent and Greater Individual Total Urged After Conference. Recommendation that the interest rate on postal savings be incrased from 2 to 3 per cent was agreed upon by the bankers, Federal Reserve Board members and government officials who joined with the Post Office De- partment to investigate the postal savings policy, Postmaster General Hays said today. The maximum al- lowed a depositor is to be raised to $3,000. % Other changes, he said, which were agreed upon and which were incor- porated ip a bill introduced in the closing days of Congress by Repre- sentative Steenerson, republican, Minnesota, would have the govern: ment accept trust and joint deposits: increase the number of depositary post offices; which are now but 6,300 of 53,000 post offices; issue circulars and notices in foreign languages to immigrant depositors and pay inter- est on: deposits held for less than one \ year. A finger-print system of identifica- tlon for illiterate depositors also would be established. The object of the enlarged deposit Mr. Hays reiterated, was not to put government in competition with pri- vate savings banks, but to create new depositors among groups of the pop- ulation not yet educated to trust of private financial establishments. \ EEASE OF FLOOR SPACE. Masonic Life Insurance Company Takes Over 10,000 Square Feet. Execution of a lease for 10,000 square feet of office space in the Homer building, corner of 13th and F streets northwest, by the Masonic Mutual Life Association of this city, has been announced. The lease was arranged through the office of Stone & Fairfax. e ¢ ‘The\association will take over the ‘whole of the south half of the second floor of the building, and has obtained an option to the remainder of the second floor, comprising about 9,000 square feet additional. The remainder will be taken over at the expiration of the present leases. It is the intention of the lessee to move & part of its office force into the new quarters at once. CONVICT IS EXECUTED. Frank Motto Had Part in Cleve- land ‘Murder and Hold-Up. COLUMBUS, Ohio, August 29.—Frank Motto, twenty-five, Cleveland Italian, ‘was executed at the Ohio penitentiary early this morning for -his part in the murder and hold-up of C. W. Sly and George Fanner, Cleveland manu- facturer, in Cleveland December 31 last. In an eleventh-hour confession Motto implicated a Cleveland policeman as the instigator of the hold-up, who, he said. recelved 10 per cent of the money ob- tained. He declared he was in a down- poolroom when the subsequent murder occurred. Gov.

Owing to press of business on the President, members of the Association of Retired Government Employes to- day decided to defer until later a con- templated call upon him in the in- terest of increased annuities. It is expected, however, that some time later a committee of the asso- ciation will call unon President, Hard- ing to inform him personally 'of the need for Increasing the amount of the Individual annuities. It wae pointed out at the meeting held at 1423 New York avenue that the annuities are in no sense ‘*‘pen- slons.” but ansuities, because gov- crnment emploves are paying 2% per cont of their salaries into the retire- ment fund. There are at present 908 retired government workers in the District, | and between 8,000 and 9,000 through- out the country. The increases de- sired are from a present maximum of $720 a year, the higheet annuity granted, to a maximum of between $1,300 and $1,400, with a minimum an- nuity of $360 a vear instead of the present minimum of $180.
