Switzetland, ~September 16.—The election of judges of the in- ternational court of justice in accord- ance with the system which Elihu Root was instrumental in devising has been conducted much more quickly and successfully than had been fore- seen and thus far has given rise to no de;irooled criticism.

OTTAWA, Ontario, September 16.— It is being proclaimed in Canada that the Washington government has ap- pied the brake to the Fordney tariff blli in its passage through Congress, and reference is made to the siznifi- _cance “that though President Harding has said nothing. his Postmaster Gen- eral has confessed that this is not a £ood vear for the kind of tariff pro- posed by the House of Representa- tives.” Tt is being pointed out in Ottawa and Toronto “that Canada would gain nothing by the delay, as the emergency tariff_biil would remain in force, and By Cable to The Star and Chicago Daily News. | anthorityson Mohammedan law, so the | to this is Sir George Foster, Canada's! fday TED AN EXEMPTION. !: 1 i { Episcopal Church, South. declared the | church are represented by Robert Finley of Britain and John Bassett Moore of the United States * Great Latin statés like France.

The only criticlsm the writer has heard concerns the election of Deputy Judge Negulesco of Rumania, al- though some regret is also expressed that the German race is represented in the tribunal only indirectly through Eugene Huber, who is a German Swiss. ~ Some observers have commented rather caustically on the result of the election because of the various cau- cuses and of the vigorous spirit of electioneering which preceded it but persons of political experience point out that this preparatory activity and agreement have always been found necessary wherever men have tried to confer and co-operate. and is in no wey derogatory to the court. Considerable interest is already being manifested in the election of ithe four non-permanent members of the council which must also be held | before the assembly closes. In view of the unsettled state of the far east- ern question it is considered probable that China will be chosen again if only as a counter-poise to Japan so that both shall enjoy equally the full prestige of international eminence pending the outcome of the Washing- ton conference.

The ~clause originally classed phonographs with “dogs, cats and parrots,” and uroused the ire, not only of talking machine owners in the apdrtment, but of tenants who do not possess phonographs. President Muehleisen, who him- self is a phonograph owner and a record enthusiast, secured the con- sent of the owner in striking out from the leases the objectionable clause. “The spirit of the great Caruso need not fear us,” he smiled. When invited by one tenant to hear his records, Mr. Muehleisen accepted the invitation with thanks, adding, with a smile, “I'll see if you have any records | haven't Several other objectionable clausesincluding one barring the hanging of clothes for sunning on side porches, were revoked.
