Commemoration of the sixth cen- | Fion e ovle of George ELIHU ROOT DEFINITELY DECLINES TO BE CANDIDATE FOR WORLD COURT By the Associated Press. GENEVA, September 12.—Elihu _ Root has definitely declined to be considered for election as judge of the international court of justice. In a cablegram to Dr. Manley O. Hudson, who is here in the capacity of American observer, Mr. Root declares he will be unable to serve on the court, because of his age. The refusal of Mr. Root is said to increase the chance of either John Bassett Moore or Prof. Roscoe Pound, two other Americans nomi- * nated for the court, to be elected. Mr. Root's cablegram was in re- play to a personal message of in- quiry. He said he deeply regretted he could not serve. as it was too great a responsibility for one to assume at the age of seventy-six. Some delegates to the assembly. notably Gastoa Da Cunha of Brazil cablegram, as an honor. The contents of the cable from Mr. Root were made known in- formally to the delegates before today's session of the assembly opened, and there were many ex- pressions of keen regret. A num- ber -of delegations indicated they would _substitute the name of John_Bassett Moore for that of Mr. Root when. the election takes place on Wednesday. It was stated later by officlals of the league that Mr. Root’s mes- sage definitely disposed of his can- didacy. They expressed belief that it was certain the names of both Mr. Moore and Prof. Pound would be placed in nomination and that the one developing the greatest strength after the first or second ballot would be elected. The league has been informed that either would accept election, was added. it declared today they favored the election of, Mr. Root, despite his “AMERICAN INVASION” OF DEAUVILLE OUTNUMBERS ALL OTHER VISITORS DEAUVILLE. France, August 25. —Americans in Deauville this year outnumber all other foreign nationalities represented and have given to this famous French sea- side resort a distinctly American atmosphere. Many of the best known jazz bands of the continent have been concentrated here for the August season and the cock- tail has competed with afternoon tea at most of the fashionable cafes. Despite the “American invasion,” Deauville retains its reputation as the smartest international gather ing place on the continent. En lish visitors are second in a tendance and every other nation of consequence has its tourist delegation here. Gambling Attracts. The casino, where one may lose or win a fortune on the roll of a ball or the flash of a card, is the magnet for all. Each night and weil toward the breakfast time of the average American visitors crowd the tables. Most of them play for reasonable stakes, but & Yew plungers have developed. English-speaking_attendants have been placed at most of the tables to “encourage” Americans to try their luck. While Deauville boasts of its international atmosphere, it is not proud of the large number of “in- ‘ternational characters” who-gather there each season for purposes of plunder. To handle this light- fingered gentry the Paris police department has sent some of its bes-_detectives and policemen to SHIPMEN BLAMED INHARDING LETTER Immigrant Hardships Put Up assist the local force. The result has been that fewer pieces of jew- elry have disappeared from hotel rooms than in previous years. Exorbitant Prices. except the wealthiest of French people have contented themselves with one-day visits to Deauville this vear. The reason is the excessive prices charged by hotels and restaurants. One thousand francs is only a “meal ticket” at Deauville. This All few rooms at less than 150 francs a day and suites of two small rooms ccst anywhere from 500 to 1,000 francs. “But the Americans are rich and do not mind, and the others—well, they can go to other resorts,” say Deauville proprietors, and, judg- ing from the number of Americans gle{:. the proprietors seem to be zht.

In his reply, Mr. Harding said: “I haven't any doubt in the world but the enforcement of the immigration laws is working many a hardship. My own distress has been very great over some of the specific instances which have been reported to me. “If I have the situation correctly presented, the difficulty must be charged to the dishonest steamship agents, who have brought to this country innocent immigrants in spite of our continued warnings during a period of very great leniency. ¥ know how very persistent have been the im- positions which have been made on the government agents, who have been : disposed to be sympathetic and more than generous in carrying out the law.
