DELEGATES AWAIT HOME ADVICES ON SUBMARINE RULES, French, ltalians and lapa- nese Delay Action While Naval Experts Work. ROME HOLDS OLD RULES COVER ROOT RESOLUTION Tokio Expected to Agree to Pro- posels—Early Action Is Hoped For. Assaciated Press. rthur J. Balfcur and Secretary Hughes have been approached by the Chinese arms delegation re- sarding the existing deadlock with the Japanmexe on Shantung, and Bave been asked to mediate, it was learned today on high authority. In conference circles it was con- sidered probable that the Chinese overtures would be accepted by Messrs. Balfour and Hughes, as it was under their auspices that the eonversations first were begun In order, It was understood, to keep the Shantung controversy out of the arms confcremce proper. BY G. GOULD LINCOLN. With the French, Italian and Japa- nese delegations still awaiting in- structions from their home govern- ments in regard to the Root proposal that submarines shall be debarred from destroying merchant vessels In time of war, the Washington confer- ence continued to mark time today the naval experts working upon technical details that must be put in shape for the naval treaty. At the French and Italian head- quarters it was said that the neces- sary instructions from Paris and Rome should be available soon. Sec- cretary Hughes did not call the com- 1ittee on limitation of armament to- gether at all today, as it had been agreed by the delegates that nothing could be done until the instructions had been received. International Law Basis. The Italian delegation last week cabled Rome asking permission to agres to the second Root proposal, whiéh would debar submarines from attack upon merchant vessels in war- | time. A reply was received in which the Italian government took the po- sition that in view of the first Root proposal regarding submarines (that submarines must observe interna tional law regarding merchant ves- sels in the same way that it is ob- served by surface vessels) it was not necessary to adopt the second Root proposal. The Italian delegation, however, Yas again cabled to the home gov- ernment, saying in effect that they consider it advisable to agree to the second Root proposal also. To this cable they are awaiting a reply. Freach Favor Same Position. ‘While the French are maintaining silence regarding the second Root proposal debarring submarines from destroying commercial vessels, it is understood that the French govern- mment has been inclined to take the e position as that taken by the talian government in its first reply the Italian delegation. The supporters of this position maintain that if the first Root pro- sal is lived up to and interna. mnll Jaw is observed It is not neces- sary to put_into eifect the second. %he third Root resolution, which would have an officer of a submarine which destroyed merchant vessels greated as a pirate, has been waliting upen action on the second Root pro- sal. DS Japanese quarters It was sald ¢today that Japan, it was thought. would agree to the Root proposals re- garding submarines. The proceedings of the meeting at Cannes between Lloyd George and ¥Fremier Briand, are being watched in conference circles here with much interest. There is still a beltef in some quarters that something may be done there which will relieve the submarine situation, even to such an extent that the question of subma- rines and other auxillary tonnage muy be taken up again by the Wash- ington conference and limits fixed for them, as in the case of capital ‘ships. But so far this is mere speculation. Three Dsys’ Lull. It is now three days since the major esommittee on limitation of armament had & meeting, and there is a feeling that something should be done as (Continued on Page 3, Column 5.) ADJT. GEN.

The District Court of Appeals, in-an opinion by Justice Van Orsdel, re- Versed the decision of the lower court, and held that as long as Mrs. Mary Walsh, maker of the affidavit in ques- tion, elects to avail herself of the pro- tection which the law affords, the ad- jutant_general, as custodian of the affidavit, cannot be compelled to pro- duce it in court to be used to her| disadvantage.

INTER-RACIAL “JURY” “INDICTS” LIMITATION . OF ARMS CONFERENCE The conference on limitation of armament was “Indicted” today by a grand jury in the Inter-racial league's “court of public ses- sions.”” on the ground that “it has betrayed the people of the world and frustrated .their hopes.” Charles Edward Russell, sociuiist { } author and l:cturer, signed the indictment as foreman of the i grand jury. \lose meibers were i drawn indiscriminately fiom the | audience which had ga.hered to witness the proccedings. The charges asainst the confer- ference were based on its handling of the cases of China, Indiu, Korea, the far eastern republic, Persia, the Phiiippines, the “Republic of Mount Lebanon” and_Haiti, the presentment stated, The confer- ence “has done nothing to lessen by~a fraction of 1 per cent the chances of war,” the indictment asserted, adding that the ~ four- power Pacific treaty would only “insure disturbance after dis- turbance.

SESSION AT CANNES . MAYEND FRIGTION 'Effect on Arms Conference Awaited—America Will “Sit In” at Game. BY N. 0. MESSENGER. In arms conference circles here the belief is growing that the meeting of the allied supreme council at Cannes may have a bearing upon some phases |of the Washington conference; now drifting between dissppointment and doubht. The effect looked for is favor- able In its application to the arms con- | ference, special hope arising in the di- { rection of added naval limitation. i Attention was attracted here to the | statement of Premier Briand yester- {day that an alliance, political and | defensive, between Great Britain and {France is desirable. It is thought iby diplomats that if such an outcome | {follows the it idida kol meeting of Premier Briand and Premler Lloyd George | France would immediately adopt a imore liberal policy as to restriction of submarine construction. Cable dispatches report M. Briand as having issued a statement strongly recommending a pact or alliance be- { tween his country and Great Britain, ! and indicatfng that it would relieve the entire European situation first and have an ‘application to the sub- marine question and also possibly to Pacific affairs, Would Please American: It is believed the American govern- ment would recelve with proféund gratification the recession of France from her present attitude on naval limitation, and would incline to the view that the peace of the world would be enhanced thereby. It is also tbought that the present state of irri- tation against France, engendered by her attitude, would quickly give way among the American people to a happy restoration of the cordial sen- timent existing up to the time t French “spilled the navy bean:‘"‘ b Naturally, it is not contemplated here that an Anglo-French under- standing_of the scope contemplated by M. Briand would include the United States, as the condition of American_political sentiment at this time precludes such a contingency. The United States, for the purposes of the meeting of the supreme council, is merely a looker-on in Cannes—that is, so far as the officlal record will show. It is well understood here, however, that the “out of court” par- ticipation of Ambassador Harvey, designated as an observer, may have far-reaching effect. It is expected that he will take part |in many unofficial conversations with | the British and French premiers and especially with the leading financiers and economists who constitute the outer circles of the Cannes meeting. Keen Interest in Results. - With Europe in debt to the Unifed States to the extent of more than ten billions of dollars, it cannot be dgnied that this country has a keen interest in any developments that will restore- economic conditions in Europe and tend to improve the political rela~ tions of the overseas nations, ‘While one section of political thought in this country s constantly on guard sgainst the United Statés another large element, whi republicans of influende, :.°'£o‘.?fl§'e'3 that the United States cannot escape a certain measure of partjcipation- in events and developments Jver there.

HELD INQUISITION RATHER THAN JUDICIAL INQUIRY Rates Fixed Held Confiscatory and Are Declared Void—Court Re- gards Aci@nn Unfair. In reversin the decision of the rent commission and dirceting a re- hearing of the Monmouth apartment Louse case, Justice Van Orsdel, speak- ing for the District Court of Appeals [ today declared that the proceedings before the rent commission were conducted “more in the nature of an inquisition than A judiclal inves- tigation in which ti commission was called upon to judicially determine valuable property rights.” The appellate court finds that James L. Karrick, owner of the property, did not have a fair and im- | partial hearing beforc the rent com- i mission. The court points out that i parts of the proceedings were con- ducted in the absence of counsel. the | commission “acting in the double ca- pacity of judges and counsel and in instances counsel were not al- of defend- | some lowed to be heard in defense ant’s rights.” Six Per Cent Allowed. The Court of Appeals holds that if the commission sets the rental figure {at an amount whfch makes the net inéome fall below 6 per cent of tie value of the property it should be treated as “confiscatory.” This rate, however, the court .finds, must be clear of the ordinary expenses. In arriving at this 6 per cent standard, the court says, it considered the haz- ards of the business, the value of | money at the present time and the | prevailing rates of interest here. { " wWhile_the Ball act undertakcs to | limit thé sppellate court lo a review {of questions of law, the court de- {cides that if it is suggested that the | rental rates fixed are such that tney | will result in confiscation. it then be- {comes the duty of the court, for the proper determination of that issue, to review the proceedings before the commisslon both as to law and fact. Comslderation Pointed Out. In ascertaining a reasonable rate in any cast, the-court ddclares, the com~| qu‘i{onmhw!d.flut determine the fair market value of the . In do- ! ing this it may consi ofiginul cost as well as cost of reproduction; also | rental value. These are elements to | be_considercd, none of which or all combined Is necessarily conclusive. The second step is to determine the { gross rentals demanded by the land- i | i !lord, and then to compute the oper- ating expenses and deduct the gross ! expense from the gross rental. This | will give the net rental from which a | percentage of Income can be com- {Puted on the fair market value of the property. ; The weight of the testimony in the Monmouth apartment case, the court finds, shows that the cost of the build- ing should be placed at 45 cents per cubic foot, or $435,840.40, which with the furniture and the cost of the land makes a total of $582,815.40. Taking two-thirds of this as a basis upon which to compute the value of the seventy-six apartments affected by jthe ruling, we have $368,543.20. Two- i thirds of the operating expenses being deducted leaves the percentage of re- turn, the court finds, at 2.62 per cent. Held Confiscatory. It is apparent, concludes Justice Van Orsdel, that this result is so un- fair and unrcasonable that it amounts to deprivation of property without due process of law within the inhibi- tion of the fifth amendment The rates fixed are held to be confisca- tory and therefore vold. Justice Hitz of the District Supreme Court sat as a member of the court in_the absence of Chief Justice Smyth. The Court of Appeals, in an opin- fon by Justice Van Orsdel, upheld the decision of the rent commission, which had’ found James L. Karrick guilty of refusing to furnish William A. Colman, a tenant in the Monmouth apartment house, with electric current for a_ period of twelve days, and agreed with the commission’s action in fixing 3150 as reasonable compen- sation. The tenant attacked the va- lidity of ‘the Ball act, but the ap- llate court points out that the United = States Supreme Court has made this no longer an open question, and- as the record does not contain the evidence offered before the com- mission, the court “presumes that the finding of the commission fs sup- ported by the tesfimony.

President J. H. Bartlett of the Civil Service Commission, ex-officio chair- man of the federal personnel board, announced today that the meetings of the board will be “open,” and that the first meeting will be held as soon as possible. There is no disposition on the part of officials to make any se- | cret of the activities of the new | board, but all feel that great things may be expected from its work. The commission has received pledges of support from the National Federation of Federal Employes and other or- ganizations. Pointing out that the President has made himself a sort of business head of {the government, President Bartlett to- day €ald that the new personnel board ‘will merely attempt to do for the people in government service what the admin- istration already has done with material things, through the functioning of the budget bureau. Alms Are Explained. “The Civil Service Commission, for the better accomplishment of its own distinct work, very much needs the ad- vice and co-operation which can come through the meeting together of a board oom:gl«l of representatives of each de- ment and independent establishment of the government,” Mr. Bartlett told a committee of organized employes which waited upon ‘him recently to offer co-} operetlon. | “It can_through this sgency better| understand_their needs, meet thelr de-} mands, and secure mutual understand-| ing and co-operation. It can also. when | once a policy of mutual understanding | is attained, have behind it the moral} support of this board thus composed, which means the entire administration. No Conmflict Seen. “The personnel problems other than the strictly civil service problems are so linked together and follow so alosely upon the problems which the Civil Bervice Commission already has that it is conceded y can best be handled all together under the same head, and hence the new personnel board was placed under the supervi- sion of this commission. “There is no purpose in this execu- tive order to conflict, but rather a purpose to occupy Whatever terri- tory is left unoccupied by statute and to do unitedly and systematically the things which sre now done sep- arately and without co-ordination or {not done at all” the Wilson administration. of the Pennsylvania delegation.
