Philadelphian Speaks at Noonday | | Meeting. Tuberculosis day of Health week was observed today, Prior to the noon- day meeting at Keith's Theater a float representing the health crusade and | carrying children of the Dennison School in costume started from Zero milestone, passed through the busi- Dess centér of the city and then park- ed opposite the theater. Harvey Dee Brown, director of the Philadeiphia health council and tu- berculosis committee, delivered the principal address. Senator Ball pre- sided, Boys and girls from the Denni- son School sang in chorus and a mo- tion picture film, *Jinks,” prepared by the National Tuberculosis Associa- tion, was shown. Many Advances Made. Mr. Brown in his address declared he could speak of the prevention of tuberculosis with great assurance to- t mpared with what would have possible to, say ten years ago. this change of attitude he gave r reasons: First. The actual results obtained from organized voluntary tuberculosis and public health work; the decline of | the death rate in the whole nation from 168 per thousand to ninety-seven per thousand since 1908. Second. The change of public opinion due to educational work of tuber- culosis associations throughout the ! country, and through practical dem- nstration of preventive methods uch as clinics, open air classes in schools, preventoria, camps and occu- pational therapy in hospitals. Third. This change of attitude may be traced to the immense sums of money now available throughout the nation obtained by the almost univer- sal habit of buying Christmas seals, these large funds making possible the above mentioned demonstrations, Fourth. The assurance that tuber- culosis is preventable, which has given the campaign the spirit of a winning fight—and the speaker sald that all that was needed now were moré and better demonstrations of preventive measures all along the line. Tuberculosis day is sponsored by the Washington Tuberculosis Asso- ciation. ASKS SANATORIUM HERE. Tuberculosis Association Cites Orphan Asylum Cases. Presence of seven tuberculous chil- dren in one of the orphan asylums of the city was cited today by the Asso- Ciation for the Prevention of Tuber- culosis as evidence of the need for a sanatorium in Washington for the cure of such cases among boys and girls. Flifealth OMcer William C. Fowler said one of his assistants, Dr. Sprague, was familiar with the case he believes the association referred 10, but his information is that there are only four children and that up to & few days sgo they bad not been definitely dicgnosed. & Dr. Fowler went on record in favor of a separate institution for the treat. ment of such children, but said he did not belleve the number of juve- niles who would be placed in a sana- torium if one existed was large. Tn the case of an orphan asylum, the health officer stated that he did not approve of keeping tuberculous children in an institution with others, but in the absence of any other place 10 send them, they should be isolated as far as possible. He directed Dr. Sprague to make further inquiry ints the situation today to see what could be_deme along that line. - Wrs. Broest R. Grant and Walter S.

Mr. Hines emphasized that the chamber's view of the court did not contemplate it would deal with “mat- ters of international policy or poli- tica.” He agreed with Bishop Brent that the court was entirely separated from the league of nations. Action of Lawyers. Mr. Wickersham presented resolu- tions endorsing the court, adopted by the American Bar Association at its 1923 meeting. “The vote was almost unanimous,” he said, “and represented the best legal thought from all sections of the country.” “The Permanent Oourt is established on the basis of determi- nation of controversies between n: tions by impartial investigation of facts and the application to them of rules of international law,” Mr. Wickersham continued. “By this process, especially famil- iar to all students of Angio-Saxon law, international law will be ascer- tained and developed by the court as it decides cases submitted to its judg- ment. “As Mr. Root said after reviewing the history of the long-continued ef- forts of the United States to bring about the establishment of the judi- cial determination of international disputes: “‘Manifestly the presumption is in favor of the United States supporting the court. Both self-respect and in- terest require that the United States should stand by its own policy. We cannot decently urge the creation of such a court as this upon the rest of the world through a long series of years and then repudiate the court when they consent to it, uniess we offer some adequate reason.’ Mrs. James L. Laidlaw of New York, the next witness, declared there is “mighty wave of public indignation” rising throughout the country because of inaction by the government. All civilization is based on the de- cision_of courts as to man's duty to man, President A. L. Lowell of Ha: vard said in presenting his indorse- ment of American participation. “We have told the world over and over in the last half century,” he said, “that we were for a court.' Now it is established, shall we withhold support?” _ Analyzing the organization of the court, President Lowell said he did not see how the league could have more completely divorced itself from the tribunal. The judges, he said. were no more under lgague control than members of the Supreme Court of the United States are under the control of the President. sssociation, both advocated a chil- dren’s sanitarium for the District. The Commissioners soon will erect a special public school for the edu- cation and care of tuberculous chil- dren, but they would only attend the institution during school hours. Mr. Ufford sald the need is for a sani- tarium, where such children could get treatment twenty-four hours of the day and thus bring about a more rapid restoration of health. | are when | THE _EVENING PEACE WOMEN FIND PASSIVE D. C. FOES World Congress to Be Attended by Committee Fighting In- fiuence in United §'rtes. OPPOSITION IS WELCOMED International League Official Sees Furtherance in Activity. While delegates were gathering in Washington today for the fourth congress of the Woman's Interna- tional League for Peace and Free- dom, to open tonight at the Wash- ington Hotel, a committee of women from patriotic societics, headed by Mrs. Noble Newport Potts, mapped out & vigorous campalgn to counter- act the influence of the fourth In- ternational, not only in Washington, but throughout the nation. __Abandoning plans to block meet- ings of the congress, the committee decided to attend the sessions, upon invitation of officlals in charge. to look for “pacifistic and soclalistic” principles expected to be promulgated and prepare to nullify their influence by arousing patriotic American pub- lic opinion through a definite pro- gram A mass meeting here is under consideration. Not Opposed to Opposition. Miss Amy Woods, secretary of the national headquarters here, was not disturbed over the opposition to the congress. The opposition, she said, only tended to spread further the message of the congress. A lively contest is expected. Whether the women's' committee in- vited to attend sessions of the con- gress will be able to volce any pro- test from the floor of the congress Wwas uncertain today. ‘'We shall do nothing,” said Mre. Potts. “which is not in Keeping with the dignity and decorum of the patri- otic societles represented. But we are planning something vastly larger and more far-reaching than a mere effort to block the congress.” Whether the opposition would be- gin to function at the reception to- night when delegates from many nations will speak had not been de- cided. Mrs. Potts, who, as a member of the Daughters of 1512, called the mass meeting of protest last Sunday, sald today she had received official notices from several patriotic soci- | eties, not only in Washington out in | various parts of the country, that they would join in a fight on the Fourth International Congress. Among the latest protests, she said, communications from Cincinnati and Indianapolis, where delegates of the congress have made plans to curry the message on a spectal car, the “Pax special.” The president of the Daughters of 1812 In the state of 1ilinois wrote Mrs. Potts of the whole-hearted backing the opposition would receive in that state to any efforts to carry the paci- fism message to lilinois. | numbered 2547, POLICE-FIREMEN’S PAY RAISE 0.K.D IN SENATE COMMITTEE (Continued from First Page.) appointed by the President and con- firmed by the Senate.

He said the proserution would seek to show that upon discovery Knutson exclaimed “Oh, my Lord, if we hadn't been drinking _this would never have happened.” Similarly, he #aid, the state would endeavor to show that Hull, getting out, asked if there wasn't some way “we can fix this up.” and that the officers replied emphatically in the negative.

I have only $6 with me. but I'll give you $100 and leave my car as collateral until 1 pay it.” The answer to that, Wise said, was “Nothing doing.” Just before entering the jail, Wise declared, Knutson again said: “This is an awful predicament to be caught in.
