Sénate Finance Chairman. A Busy Man'These Days U.S.NOT PERMITTE T0 ENTER LEAGUE| Secretary Hughes So Views German Treaty—Special Pact Held Essential. BY DAVID LAWRENCE. Secretary Hughes is of the opinion that the new treaty with Germany doesn’t permit the United States to join the league of nations except by a treaty to which the Senate has given its constitutional consent. He didn’t intend the language of the new pact to be interpreted in any other way and had no desire to use phrases which could in any way sive rise to what he considers an absurd view- point—namely, the joining of the league without the conmsent of the Senate. But there is a divergence of opinion . on this subject. And the interesting thing now is to see whether the allies consider the action of the Harding administration as absolutely final or whether they believe the door is atill open for a future administration to take the vacant chair in the council of the league. Did Not Comsult Semate. 1t is pointed out by those who dif- fer with Mr. Hughes that the present administration did not feel bound to consult the Senate when a represent- ative was sent officially to the su- preme council. and that if the ex- eccutive cared to do so he could send an American diplomat to take Amer- ica’s seat in the council of the league. The allies couldn’t possibly misun- derstand the presence of an Ameri- can representative at the council of the league, for the new treaty spe- cifically says the United States Is not bound by any provisions of the cove- nant or aetion of the council “unless the United States gives its assen The Department of State is author- 3 the view that the words “United States” as used in the ne pact with Germany mean the United States as a constitutional fact, which * implles, of course, that the President and Secretary of State have certal f agreement with other tions which do not require the assent of Congress and certain powers which necessitate ratification by the Senaf It is, therefore, possible for the Pres- ident and Secretary of State to con- cor in certain courses of action taken by the council of the league without Senate ratification. Harvey Prediction Right. Certainly the present administration has no such intention. Ambassador Harvey was right when he predicted that the Harding administration wouldn't have anything to do, direct- 1y or indirectly, with the league, but the significant fact is that if an ad- inistration comes into power which is more friendly to the league than the incumbent authorities it may be possible for the new treaty with Germany to be interpreted as per- mitting an American representative to sit in the council officlally or un- officially and represent the President | of the United States. The allies and the other countries of the world must decide the question. The membership of the couneil is specifically designated to include the Tnited States. The council has the right to’in- crease or diminish its membership, but must have the approval of the assembly. Shall the seat of the Tnited States be filled by some other nation or shall it always remain va- cant as a standing invitation to the American government to send a rep- resentative to the council any time it wants to determine whether to give its assent or not to an action of the council? Tadifferent Over Seat. Since the new treaty with Germany indicates that the United States might conceivably want to concur in some things done by the league, the allies would be denying America an opportunity to get the facts first hand through an official or unofficial observer if they fo?‘"y eliminated i SENATOR PENROSE Of Pennaylvania has so far recovered from his recent ilinews as to devete from tem to twelve hours a day to -g of also finds average of 1,000 letters a y, besides seeing 100 or more vis- itors at his afice.

JOSEPH CASTELBERG DIES Head of Jewelry Firm Passes Away After Accident. ‘Word was received here today of the death of Joseph Castelberg, fifty- five years old, head of the Castelberg Jjewelry firm of Baltimore, Washing- ton and other cities, who was injured yesterday in the elevator of an apart- ment house. where he resided, in Baltimore. Aceording to_messages received by frienda here, Mr. Castelberg so in- jured his leg in a slip between the elevator floor and the casing of the levator frame that amputation was necessary. He died several hours after the accident. . Although Mr. Castelberg has been a Baltimorean for the greater part of his life, he was well known in this city, where he and his brother-in- law, Samuel Heller, are the pro- prietors of one of the jewelry stores of the firm. He was the son of Jacob Castelberg, founder of the firm, who died six years ago. He is survived by his widow, two children, three sisters and a brother, Henry Castelberg, pro- prietor of an independent jewelry concern in Baltimore. Funeral ar- rangements have not yet been com- pleted. SPECIAL ASSIGNMENTS FOR PROHIBITION AGENTS Detailed to Aid New York Office to Demonstrate Effectiveness in That District. Assignment of E. C. Yellowley, chief of the general prohibition agents of the Washington office, and a group of other experts to assist Federal Prohibition Director Hart of New York in the work of that office was announced today by Commissioner Haynes. The assignment, Mr. Haynes said, waa part of his policy to lend every assistance from the headquarters of- fice to the various prohibition di- rectors. “We confidently expect.” he added, “that at a very early date the New York office will have so demon- strated its effectiveness that it will have the support of all patriotic, law- abiding citizens, who will not ‘condone or give aid to any conditions which are not strictly conformable to .the high ideals which are fundamental to American citizenship.” — MIDSHIPMAN HAYES, HURT IN BOXING, DIES First-Year Student Receives Cra- nial Injury Sparring With Classmate at Annapolis.

The police also, in testifying against four fruit venders whom they were obliged to arrest under the present law, state “We don't care to lock them up, for in many cases they are not blocking the traffic at all.” Harry T.

August 30.—Devoting ‘| epare hours ta careful inspeotion of Publio buildings in the hope of find- ing watire in stone has become a fad. It began with the giscovery by a reporter that architeots had carved & dollar sign as & twin motif to the lovers' knot over the entrance to St. Thomas' Church, on Fifth avenue. A fow days later some one leaving the Sunday services observed for the first time that miniature faces of modern men and malds of the avenue had been chissled above the main door of the edifice. A conure?!lon that went to pray remained to laugh. Some of theme caricatures wore monocles, others wore smiles; wome surely tired business men and .fonll h wivea, while others mani- 'estly were flappers and boulevardiers. Everybody conceded that they repre- sented modern Fifth avenue “types.” Ome Face Not So Modera, One face was not so modern, how- ever. It was & year or two behind the times. On its nose was the un . | mistakable bulge of a “rum bjossom." Another had such a bored look ob- Zervers were sure it was a man who just went to church to pleass the wife. Rumors that many well-known buildings in New York had been sub Jected to jocose treatment by the arti- sans who worked upon them moved whole flocks of people to sally forth, some with spy-glusses or lorgnettss. to look for sculptured jokes. Archi tects gave interviews explaining how serious the satire was; that sort eof humor has been practiced since the middle ages, not in a spirit of levity, but with the design of presenting to the people examples of right and wrong in thought and action, they said. _Skeptics persistgl In believing the architects had just Niad their little joke, and none would have been sur- prised in finding a bust of Lenin con- cealed in the decorations of the New York Stock Exchange, or a carving of Falstaff at the headquarters of the Anti-Saloon League.

Among the measures that the organization advocates are the following: “All motor cars have rubber- tired wheels and run without neise. It is too late to blow a horn when @ car has already collided with a pedestrian. A car should have a very small bell attached to one of the front wheels and . this bell should be kept ringing all the time so that when pedestrians hear it they can get out of the way. This bell should be half the size of a bicycle bell. Each car should have a speed limit, but the fire brigade, Joctors' and police motor cars should be exempted. “A chauffeur should wear a brass badge on his breast. The badge should be thgee inches in diameter and should have his name and the number of his license in English and Chirfese inseribed thereon. The badge should be issued by the mu- nicipal council at a few taels each. Then a man not licensed will not dare drive a car. “All mator trucks should have rails or_iron chains around the cars to insure safety. and in case Miniature Faces of Moder; i’len and Maids Chiseled Above Church Door—People Going to Pray Remain to Laugh. .
