HOULD ANHLATE JHOLENDS SPRT Itlym:hing and Labor Rows i:Undermine Government. By the Associated Pre CINCINNATI, Ohio, September 2.— Tmpertial annihilation of the “whole pelsonous, pestilential brood” of what gemerally is called the mob spirit, s e only guaranty of national safety, ther Z. Rosser of Atlanta, Ga., told American Bar Association in an address on the illegal enforcement of law this morning. ching, he said, will cease only ‘when negroes stop their attacks on white women and when the white people reach such a stage of self- control that they can restrain them- selves in favor of the law—two things that are too deep-seated to be met by the law alone, but must be met bY an awakening of public conscience and the uplift of the two races. But lynching, he added, was only je phase of the mob spirit that “is Comstantly and industriously laying the ax at the root of government.’ Labor mobs, though different in their inception. and make-up, Wwere de- clared to be just as inimical to the safety of the nation. Is Whisiwind of Passion. » Iynching mob is born in a whirheing of passion and survives but a day.” he said. “In the pres- ence of armed forces it slinks away in the darkness and dissolves in r. T Fhe labor mob too often is born of deliberation and preparation. It often lives long enough to exert its corrupting influence upon legislation and administration and to secure the versal object, of all such mobs. often, in deflance of arms and constables, it continues its work of destruction and murder.” : Lynching But One Evil “Lynching,” he declared, is omly one of the germs. To attack one and feve'the aimer one t osafely thrive —is-government suicide. Annihilation, dallying. is the only guaranty f national safety. The action of Federal Judge Kene- w M. Landis of Chicago, national mmissioner of base ball, in accept- ing “private employment and private 3 olument” while active on the fed- bench. was declared to meet with e “unqualified condgmnation” of the merican Bar Associition in & reso- ution adopted last night. Attack Judge Landis. The resolution was adopted after rmy debate, in which former Sena- or James Hamilton Lewis counseled gainst hasty action and moved that e matter be referred to a commit- e for investigation. He declared at Judge Landis should be accorded proper hearing before being con- emned. The resolution was drawn by the executive committee of the ciation and was presented by mpton L. Carson of Philadelph lormer president of the organization. The administration of federal gov- Tnment in the United States was at- Ecked in an address before the con- ention last night by former Senator harles S. Thomas of Colorado, who leclared this country had turned from “representative republic to a conti- 3 ental democracy States’ Rights Encroached. Encroachment of federal authofity n states’ rights was criticized by the former senator and federal expendi- ures were declared a “riot of waste d profligacy which has long dis- aced the country’s affairs.” Repub- icans and democrats are now meet- "2 upon a common ground, Mr. “Bhomas said, with even “the tariff a for plunder.

Col. Charles W. Kutz, chairman of the Public Utilities Commission, to- day sustained Walter C. Allen, execy: tive secretary, in the ' ruling thAt changes in location of car stops should not be made public by the commission. Asked if he did not think the pablic would be inconvenienced by not re- ceiving notice of proposed changes In stopping : points, the chairman said the car riders affected by the changes would see that the signs had been moved. It is understood that one reason for not revealing action taken regarding the location of stop signs is a belief on the part of the commission that to call attention to any changes that are made would induce others to ask for changes. Would Betler Service. Col. Kutz explained that the com- mission in relocating stop signs con- siders the betterment of the service as a whole and that the wishes of all riders cannot be met It tihe city is to have skip stops. But the chairman of the commission was firm in the decision that those changes which are made from time to time should not be disclosed. The colonel sald the rule against giving notice of changes in stops was adopted about two years ago and has never been dropped. Announcements of proposed changes in car stops have been published in the past, one case occurring in Oc- tober of last year, when the stop signs on H street northwest between 14th and 17th streets were relocated. Received No Complaints. Col. Kutz stated today that to his knowledge no complaint has been re- ceived by the commission of cars run- ning by the stop signs before being brought to a standstill. Commissioner Oyster said he has heard pegsonal complaints of this practice occurring in the suburban sections. He said that not only pas- sengers standing at the signs are in- convenlenced when they are required to run some distance ahead to board the car, but that motorists are also con- fused in bringing their machines to a stop fifteen feet behind the car. Commissioner Oyster expressed the belief that the companies would be willing to instruct their motormen to observe the stop points more closely if the matter was brought to their attention. W. R. & E. SHORT LINES SHOW OPERATING LOSS Washington Interurban, Rhode Island Avenue and Tenleytown Routes Have Deficit. The statement of operations of the Washington Railway and Electric Company for the month of July shows that the Washington Interurban, run- ning out Bladensburg road, has a net loss of $374.53. This was some Im- provement over June, when the net loss was $667.49. The report was submitted to the Public Utilities Com- mission_today. For the City and Suburban, operat- ing on Rhode Island avenue northeast, a net loss of $13,777.38 for the month was reported. During June the loss on this line_amounted to only $387.79. William F. Ham, president, explained that this large increase in deficit is due to anaintenance expenditures. The Georgetown and Tenleytown line reported a net loss of $1,722.32, about $500 more than the loss for June. The remainder of the Washington Railway and Electric system, com- posed principally of the shorter lines, showed a net income’for July of $51,- 385.53, an increase of $30,000 over the income for June, which was $20,- 799.24. The net income of the Potomac Electric_Power Company for July as $TL52L1L a falling oft of $4.000 rom " the record for June, whiy $75,077.13. s COMMUNICATIONS BUREAU PLANNED BY POST OFFICE Large Savings Seen if Government Telegrams Are Cleared Through One Agency. Plans for a bureau of communica- tions are being considered by the Post Office Department, and a bill au- xhorlz’lngl establishment of such a bu- reau is to be ready for introdu when Congress reconvenes. e Postmaster General Hays, in an- nouncing the plan, said it has been estimated that $250,000 could be saved annually if government telegrams were cleared through one agency. Government control of radios prob- ably will be recommended to Presi- dent Harding by the interdepart- mental committee, which was created to investigate the problems of air control, and representatives of the Post Office Department, War, Navy, Com- merce and Agriculture’ departments. Preliminary to departing for Eu- rope tomOrTow as a representative of the Post Office Department, to study progress_made in use of radio tele. phones, R. B. Howell of Omaha con- | ferred yesterday with Postmaster General Hays. Mr. Howell expects to conduct investigations particularly in Berlin_and Budapest. Mr. Hays hopes that in the near fu- ture radio phones may be utilized to broadcast weather and market re- ports and other informatlon. SCHOOL GROUND BOUGHT.

SCOFF AT TROTSKY PLOT CLAIMS: U. S. WORKERS PUSH FAMINE AID First Kitchen for Feeding Children Opened. 8.000 Tons of Food Near—Mr. Hoover Warns Soviet Leaders to Use Gold. By the Associated Press. RIGA, September 2.—American au- thorities here declare that the charge made in Moscow by Leon Trotsky that the American intelligence service par- ticipated in an alleged plot to assassinate Russian communist leaders is ridiculous They say that the announcement of the plot, together with an evident campaign on the part of the bolshevik press to connect all outside famine relief meas- ures with political aims, has created some apprehensjon. The work of the American Relief Administration in Rus- sla might be affected b{ the situation, it is declared. It is pointed out that the Moscow soviet, during the session at which the alleged plot was discussed, adopted a resolution expressing satis- faction ~over the agreement reached with the Rellef Administration, and another with the German Red Cross. BEGINS FEEDING CHILDREN. Director Brown Reports Rapid Progress in Famine Relief. By the Associated Press. PARIS, September 2.—The Afirst kitchen for the feeding of children was_established in Petrograd today by the American Relief Administra- tion. Walter L. Brown, European di- rector of the administration, said m making this announcement, that an- other kitchen would be opened in Moscow in a few days, and that two! administration steamers had arrived in Petrograd with cargoes of food. Two American Relief Administra- tion representatives left Moscow to- day for the Volga region. They were John Gregg of Portland, Ore. and William _Shaffrath of Denver, Col. Mr. Brown received a telegram this morning from Gregg and Shaffrath, saying the soviet government had turned over excellent offices to the administration in Moscow, and had placed a warehouse having & capacity of 10,000 tons at its disposal. The tele- gram said that M. Kamineff, head of the Russian famine relief, had been appointesl liaison officer between the administration and the soviet gqvern- ment. Mr. Brown said the first re- llef kitchens would be established in Samara and other Volge towns in a week or ten days. Rush Food to Hunger !o-a-“ he American Rellef Administration pfins contemplate work in the famine area throughout next winter and spring with an organization of 100 Americans. and many natives, Mr. i Hoover, Brown explained. About twenty men SAbs Statloned in Moscow under Col. Willlam N. Haskell, whose appoint- ment as director of relief administra- tion work in Russia recently was an- nounced, but the great majority of the work will be done in the Volga region. The first American Relief Ad- ministration train left Riga today, ac- cording to Mr. Brown, who estimated that within ten days there will be 8,000 tons of relief food in Russia. Twenty thousand additional tons have soviet authorities still have some re- sources in gold and other metal. It seems to me fundamental that the world should urge upon them that they should expend these sums at once for the purchase of breadstuffs abroad. They can scarcely expect the rest of the world to make sacrifices until they have exhausted their every resource. “While the situation in Russi: terrible, indeed.” he continued, difficulties are not as great as those we confronted and overcame in Eu- rope during the armistice winter. “On the other hand, at that time the United States still had the economic resources with which to meet the greatest famine of history. In our present economic situation and in the face of great unemployment we can- not summon the volume of sacrifices we then made. At that time our gov- ernment, assisted by American spri vate charity, carried almost- unaided n; Whole burden of European short- Burden Too Big for U. S. Alon Secretary Hoover added that Ameri- can charitable organizations could find resources to aid 1,000,000 children and additional material aid in medi- cal supplies, but that the whole prob- lem, even that of the children, was beyond American resources. Col. Haskell was instructed to re- move on his own initiative any relief worker who showed discrimination as to politics, race or creed. REDS SEEK RUMANIAN AID. Trotsky Hopes for Normal Rela- ' tions—Claskes in Ukraine. By the Associated Press. RIGA, September 2.—Leon Trotsky, the bolshevik minister of war, in an address to the Moscow soviet on Tues- day, lald emphasis on the desire of the soviet to establish normal rela- tions with Rumania. Riga newspapers carry Moscow dis- patches reporting the first clashes in the Ukraine between soviet troops and the entire White Guard Corps, which is understood to have been formed in Rusi The bolsheviki, the newspa- pers assert, contend that France and Rumania are promoting aid for the white_guard movement. PRESIDENT TO TAKE TRIP ABOARD THE MAYFLOWER Contemplates Week End Cruise Unless Strike War in West Vir- ginia Demands Attention. President and Mrs. Harding will leave the city tomorrow afternoon for a cruise on the presidential yacht Mayflower, to extend over Labor day, unless conditions In West Virginia make it advisable for the executive been ordered in New York for de- livery in Riga in six weeks. The provisions of the agreement en- tered into by Dr. Fridtjof Nansen, giving the bolsheviki a certain meas- ure of control of the distribution of food supplies, and the promise of Dr. Nansen to urge a £10,000,000 loan for relief work In Russia, are regarded by Mr., Brown as directly opposed to the policy of the American Rellef Ad ministration, and the latter organiza- tion will work independently of the International Red Cross or the League of Red Cross Societies. The relief ad- ministration’s attitude toward these organizations probably will be the same as that recently announced in the case of the international relief commission, namely, that the admin- istration is willing to co-operate only in the famine districts and then must be free from centralized control. RUSSIAN HELP EXPECTED. Mr. Hoover Says People Must Ex- haust Every Resource. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, September 2—The so- viet authorities still have resources at their disposal and should be urged to use them to provide food for adult relief, declared Secretary of Commerce chairman of the American Relief Administration, in a telegram yesterday to Col.

Relief Administration in Europe; Premier Melrovits in the Lettish foreigm office in Riga, discussing COURTS DECISION AIDS RECOGNITION Ruling Declaring Article 27 Non-retroactive Clears Way for Negotiations. BY DAVID LAWRENCE. Mexico's chances of recognition are better today as a result of her su- preme court's decision on the famous article 27 of the Mexican constitu- tion. The TUnited States had proposed that a treaty be signed by Mexico ab- solutely safeguarding American oil rights. President Obregon felt that to concede America’s request would glvo the impression that he was yielding to foreign influence. Never- theless, the American government in- sisted that either article 27 was re troactive or it was not and that Mexi co should say formally and irrevoc ably which was the case. America suggested a treaty because it would always be binding. Mexico, Rowever, has found another way—namely, a isupreme court decision. Courts Now Independent. Heretofore oil men have not had much faith in the decisions of Mex- ico’s supreme court, because of the frequent reverses of judgment. Now, however, the Mexicans claim their judiciary is independent. It no longer is appointed by the exccutive, but all the judges are elected by congress and only one-third is elected at one time, s0 that the court maintains a certain independence of political changes. This method of election was provided under the new constituti. and the decision just handed down really the first of its kind. It will have an importast bearing on the fu- ture, because if the supreme court does not reverse itself, there will be much more faith in its integrity. Article 27 Not Retroactive. i, It is true that America asked that the oil question be adjusted in a treaty which had to be signed before rec. ognition would be extended. The American government will not stand on technicalities. It is interested in the substance rather than the form. In effect, the contention of the United States that article ought not to be retroactive has been abso- |1utely upheld. The supreme court of Mexico agrees entirely with the United States in pointing out that lands obtained prior to the making of the constitution are safe from confis- cation. Willing to Adfust Claima. President Obregon's speech saying he would not sign a treaty is taken to mean that he refers to the points cleared up by the supreme court de- cision. The Mexican president, however, had previously indicated his willing- ness to adjust by treaty a number of pending questions, suck as claims growing out of the revolutions in Mexico. An agreement on these points wHI not be difficult to accomplish, and it may be that some broad ref- erence to the protection of lives and property in the future may be urged as a means of satisfying public opin- fon on this side of the Rio Grande, for while .the United States govern- ment wants to be as considerate as possible in making it easy for Presi- dent Obregon to handle his own po- litical situation there is also a prob- lem in Washington. For Inside the republican adminis- tration are men like Secretary Fall, who reflects an extreme attitude to- ward Mexico, men like Secretary Hughes, who is interested in seeing legal questions adjusted on a sound basis and President Harding, who is eager that America’s relation to Mex- ico shall be friendly, 8o that complica- tions with European countries may be avoided. The situation is in such shape that a standing on forms and pride may drive the two nations apart, whereas a spirit of recociliation and compro- mise will bring them together. There is no evidence here of the rattling of sabers, but a desire to get a definite agreement in black and white on a number of vexatious points, so that the extension of recognition by the United States government, followed, as it will be by similar action from the European powers, will not be the basis for political attack in the United States.

CANADA MAY VOT ON TARIFF POLICY Premier to Advocate Early Parliament Dissolution and Election. By the Associated Press. LONDON, Ontarlo, September 2. Dissolution of the Canadian parlia ment at an early date and an election before the end of the year to settle the Dominion's tariff policy was the program enunciated last night by Premier Meighen. The premier an- nounced he would make such a recom- mendation within the next few days. Difficulties _over the tariff have sprung up since the war through the growth of a strong farmers’ party, which demands free trade. The pre- mier declared he was certain this policy was wrong, and predicted it would. be rejected at the election. Business Awaits Verdict. “To decide the principle of tariff,” he said, “is the big, imperative ques- tion before the people of Canada to- day. Until they do decide it we can- not have business stability or full employment in this country.” The present parliament of Canada —the thirtecenth—was elected in De- cember, 1917, when Sir Robert Bor- den’s unionist government was re- s majority. The issue of the campaign was the con- scription measure introduced and passed under cloture at the session of 1917. In order to administer the compul sory military service act in a_satis- factory manner, Sir Robert Borden, then heading a conservative adminis- tration, invited the heads of the lib- eral (opposition) party to form a coalition, and it was this combina- tion that assumed office following the “war-time clections” of 1917, backed by an overwhelming majority in the house of commons. Majority Reduced. Tpon the retirement of Sir Robert Borden as prime minister a year ago, Arthur Meighen, who had held a cab- inet position in the conservative and unfonist administrations, was called upon to lead the government. The unionist major: has shrunk con- siderably through the growth of the third or agrarian party in parliament, made up largely of western farmers whose v agree with those of the government. With the decline of the govern- ment’s strength the libera led by W. L. MacKenzie King, has been calling on the Meighen adminis- tration for the past year to appeal to the people, claiming that the unionist government, elected to carry on Can- ada’s war program, ceased to have a mandate when peace was declared. The parliament would expire by con- stitutional limitation in 1922, making an election at that time necessary. Marriage Licenses. Marriage licenses have been issued to the following Frank B.

TURKS ARE DRIVEN - absolute independence and a few oth- ers declared themselves satisfied with the present government. also received petitions from many non- Christian tribes and groups of Fili- pino business men, asking that Amer- ican sovereignty be continued. In the islands of Mindanao and Sulu, which are inhabited by Moros, who are Mohammendans, and by Christian Fii- ippinos and pagan hill tribes, there was found a wide difference of opin- fon on the question of independence. Virtually all tribesmen, represented by their datos or chiefs, opposed independence, a forglng to speakers at public meet- ngs. On the other hand, the Filipinos in these provinces favored independence. Petitions were presented by the Moros asking that the islands of Mindanao and Sulu be made American territory, and some of the more radical datos openly stated that they could not be responsible for the consequences if their people were placed under Fili- pino rule. The chief grievance of the Moros was against the present school sys- tem, which they feared would alien- ate ‘their childr medan faith. Forbes assured them however, that religion lic schools in any form and advised them to educate their children as the duickest way to progress and happi- es8s. On various occasions Gen.
