BENES PICKED FOR JOB; FRANCE CARRIES POINT ‘When Powers Sign ‘Convention They Must Pledge Selves to Enter Arms Parley. Br the Associated Press. ;ENEVA, September 13, — Differ- ences of opinion characterized the meeting today of the subcommittee of tho League of Nations assembly des- 4znated to draft a project of security £nd disarmament, either in substitu- tion for or amendmert of the famous pact of mutual assistance, which now as been before the League of Na- *ions for three vears. The question of security is defi- Titely linked in all minds with that «©f arbitration, ard the delegates are pexperiencing considerable difficulty in drawing up any plan of security ‘swithout taking into account the as- =gembly’s view on arbitration Some of the delegates urged today { that entire emphasis should be placed ©n arbitration and security; others s mdvocated that the problem of dis- : armament should be given first place. BLill others believed that the arbitra- ‘ tion and security agreements should become effective only when the dis- armament conference is held. French Carry Point. Tventually the French won the day. That is that any convention relating to arbitration and security would be distinct and separate, though it would ha clearly u rstood that when the rowers sign th convention they nledged themselves to take part in a disarmament conference. Dr. Eduard Benes of Czechoslovakia was appointed to prepare the of the convention as a basis for fur- ther discussions. Great Britain, France, Japan, Sweden, Norway and Czechoslovakia participated in the debate. The_protocol or convention, which 1t is hoped to elaborate, will be an open covenant which states that non- members of the League of Nations may sign or adhere to it condition- ally it the preliminary decisions of the committes today are ratified by the assembly. The general.impres- sion prevailing after adjournment of the session was that Dr. Benes' draft of the new project would be based on the old pact of guarantees. Would Amend Covenant. Arother outstanding feature of to- 4ay’'s deliberations was the lively discussion of France’ proposal to @mend paragraph 7 of Article XV of the covenant. This paragraph pro- when the council of the 7 4 vides that Tweague of Nations fails to reach a unanimous decision concerning a dis- Pute between nations the members of the League reserve the right to .ake such action as may be neces- sary fof the maintenance of right and jusfice. Feeling that this paragraph is dan- gerous, because inconclusive, France, in pursuit of her program to have all conflicts, both judicial and politi- cal. submitted to arbitration, has sug- #ested an amendment of wh the arbitration idea is the essence. If is that the council when failing to at- tain unanimity would appoint arbi- trators for the conflict in question and strive for unanimity later when the judgment of the arbitrators was pronounced. The French proposal was favorably received, but no decision sreached. dramatic incident of the m. the statement by Rene France, honorary president of the Federal Union of Mutilated Former Combatants, that the men who fought in the great war stood solidly as one in" behalf of acceptance of arbitra- tion in all conflicts between nations. Feeling of Optimism. The general atmosphere in Geneva tonight continues optimistic despite the conflicting views which the com- mittee meetings are developing. The delegates say that a strong determi- nation to arrive at definite and pro- sressive conclusion seems to pervade the representatives of all countries. In order to expedite the work, a . special subcommittee will endeavor to ‘ co-ordinate the efforts of the com- mission which is discussing arbitra- tion and the other general commis- sion which is devoting itself to se- curity and_disarmament. Henry Morganthau, the former American Ambassador to Turkey, was highly complimented for “his services to humanity” when, the Greek Refugee Commission, he told the league council today that a million and a quarter refugees were slowly and steadily becoming self- # supporting. He urged the council to approve an international loan of $50,- 000,000 for the refugees, to be floated by England, continental Europe.and the United States after the financial committee of the league has reported on the exact situation of Greece. ting was assin, of Re-states Italy’s Views, signor Schanzer in an interview to- night complained that Italy's position on arbitration was bei: misunder- stood among the delegatds at Geneva. He outlined the Italian viewpoint as being that Italy favored extension of the arbitration idea with a solution of political disputes through the me- dium of the council and on the basis of the covenant. “This is the proper way to handle this questio; he said, “and I believe that our views will eventually be approved.

SHANGHAL September 13.—While the armies of Chekiang and Kiangsu are carrying on their minor war in the areas west and southwest of this city, the greater armies of the lead- ers of the eternal strife in China are massing in their respective provinces forces which will decide the future of the republic. Gen. Chang Tso-Lin of Manchuria. who declared war against Gen. Wu Pei-Fu of Chihll in a proclamation, accused the latter of inciting Kiangsu against Chekiang, is gath- ering his army at Mukden and send- ing it south to the Chihli frontier. These troops have been under the training of former Russian and Japa- nese officers, according to reports, at Kirin and other centers. Wu is sending his forces nortn- ward to meet this move and tighting looked for on the fields where in 1922 Chihli drove back the same in- vaders. The Chihli armies will be headed by the Christian army and Gen. Feng Yu-Hsiang, which in the previous war bore the shock of the fighting. Dr. Sun Moving North. Dr. Sun Yat-Sen, the southern leader, although threatened with icivil war in his own province of Kwangtung, is moving northward with a small army, apparently stike into Fukien province to at- tack Gen. Sun Chuang-Fang, a lieu- tenant of Wu, who recently was re- ported to have gone north with a force to invade Chekiang. Thus it is a war with Chang, Sun and Lu Yung-Hsiang joining forces against Wu and the central govern- ment of Peking, with Kiangsu and any other provinces that the PeKing authorities can induce to support the latter. Fukien is reported between Peking and Chekiang, while other provinces are apparently waiting to see how the fighting goes. The battle near Hwangtu, west of here, was resumed last night, de- spite the rain, but generally there is less activity than there has been.

Johnson's name goes into base ball’s hall of fame along with George Sisler, manager of the St. Louis club, chosen the greatest player of the 1922 season, and Babe Ruth of the Yan- kees, who was awarded the -honor in 1923. Johnson received a total of 55 points out of a possible total of 64 from the expert committee chosen to make the award. . Eddie Collins of Chicago, long time king of second basemen, ran a close second in the balloting, with a total of 49 points, and was the choice of all eight members of the trophy com- mittee as the best player of the White Sox.

DETROIT, September 13—Walter Perry Johnson, dean of major league pitchers, added another line today to the page of base ball history, on which so many notable achievements have been recorded. He held the Tygers at bay while 15 13 his club amassed a score total large | enough to withstand the belated as- saults of Ty Cobb and his sluggers | at Navin Field this afternoon, although withdrawn from the fray in the eighth inning, Johnson was credited with hurling the Nationals to_a 6-to-4 victory. The win was his 11th in succession, giving him the American League 1924 record for consecutive mound tri- umphs. Johnson had equaled the prior rec- ord of 10 straight wins established by Hollis Thurston of the White Sox during midsummer, by trouncing the and | Athletics at Philadelphia last Monday. Today's victory was his 21st of the season in 27 games, for which he is held responsible and probably clinch- ed for him for the campaign the leading pitcher of the circuit crown he now wears. While adding to his laurels, John- son also did much to keep his club | Boing well in the race for the Amer- ican League pennant that now seems to have developed solely into a struggle between Nationals and Yan- kees.

Blow to Tygers. And the defeat of the Tygers was a severe blow to their pennant pros- pects. They now are six full games behind the Natinals with but 13 more to play. Should the latter win but seven of their remaining 15 games, the Cobbmen would have to take all 13 of their tilts to nose out the ag- gregation piloted by Stanley Harris. And if the Tygers continue to play as poorly afleld as they did today, they are not likely to finish their season anywhere near the Nationals. They contributed to thefr own down- fall by committing four errors in the infleld and playing sluggishly in the outer gardens. They were none too good at bat, the greater part of the way either, and not once during the engagement did they appear to be of championship class. However, there is a great deal of potential hitting power within the Tyger fold and enough of it was re- vealed to keep the Bucks gn their toes in the opening battle of this im- portant invasion of the West. With Johnson pitching remarkably well and the Bucks showing surprising batting ability against Earl White- hill, young southpaw, the game threatened to result in an utter riot for the Tygers, who had 'been held to four hits ‘including a homer by Top- per Rigney. Secare for Nats. But in the eighth inning, the Jungle Cats arose in their wrath and clawed the veteran moundsman so severely that he had to leave the con- flict. So hardy was the Tyger at- tack that a comfortable three-run National lead was reduced to two runs and possible tallies in the form of Tygers base runners were perched on the first and third stations after only four batters had faced Walter. Manager Harris lost no time in removing Johnson from the siab, ot it was apparent he had lost his-cun- ning for the while. The pliof order- ed to the box Fred Marberry, who has become one of i most employ- ed pinch pitchers in the American League this season, and Fred paci- fled the -Junglé horde, though not beforé it had garnered another run and crawled to within a point of the Harrismen. But in the ninth the Nationals got to Kenneth Holloway, a right-hander rushed into the breach after the peeriess Ty had withdrawn White- hill in favor of a pinch batter during the eighth inning Tyger rally, and procured a run without knocking the ball beyond the infield. That sixth National tally seemed to take the pepper out of the Jungle Cats_ for they were quite docile in the ninth after the first to come to the plate scratched a single. The Nationals played a remarkably smooth game. Their fielding was faultless and in many respects sen- sational. Sam Rice played particutar- ly well in and about the right gar- den. He had plenty to do, but took care of his six fly chances in splendid style and followed the last one with a throw to Mule Shirley at first base to complete.a double play and end the contest. Goose Goslin in left had but one chance. That, however, was a liner off Cobb's bat that offered plenty of trouble. Earl McNeely, in center, was a busy boy, with five chances, a couple of them quite dif- ficult to handle. Almost all of the Nationals partook in the attack upon Whitehill, with Roger Peckinpaugh celebrating an emergence from a protracted batting slump in fine fashion. He went to bat five times and hit eafely in the first four, three singles and a double representing his efforts. Peck drove inVtwo tallies and scored another. Ossie Bluege and Harris each got three wallops, and were the only Bucks to nick Holloway in tne ninth. The thirteen blows off Whitehill and Holloway were spread through seven [ frames, and in all but two of them the Nationals tallied. Both sides went out in order in the first round, but both drew blood in the second. Goslin opened for the Bucks with a eingle to left fleld: then Ruel tapped to Rigney. The shortstop, though, with a double-play in sight, failed to grab the ball firmly, ahd’ there were Nationals on first and second bases.

TOPEKA, Kans., September 13.— | With an apparently mounting confi- | ence, John W. Davis carried his fight for the presidency across the western plaing toda, through Ne- braska and Kansas, in a series of addresses beginning before break- | tast at’ Kearney, Nebr, in a driving rain, and ending tonight here in the capital of the Sunflower State. When the Democratic standard bearer began his drive through this territory a week ago he was content to make his promises on the basis of “if’ or “should” he become Presi- dent, but today he told his auditors that “after” he became Chief Execu- | tive next March he would use every endeavor of heart and mind to fur- nish a government of honesty, of courage, of justice. There also was another change tactics by Mr. Davis. Heretofore had confined his assault wholly to the record of the administration of government by the Republican party, but now he is naming the independ- ent party and appealing to the inde- pendent voters desiring a ‘“govern- ment of progress” to vote the Demo- cratic ticket, because, as he put it, no one could contend that the pro- gressive party could hope to capture the presidency and a majority of the two houses of Congress. Assails La Follette. Moreover, in his talk at Grand Is- land, Nebr., where he was jomed by and introduced by his running mate, Gov. Charles W. Bryan, Mr. Davis vigorously assailed the proposal of Senator La Follette, the Independ- ent party’s standard bearer, that Con- | gress and the Legislatures of the sev- ‘o‘ral States be given the power of veto over the Supreme Court on the- question of constitutionality of legfs- lative acts. 2 b Declaring that he”had -eaught, as he had gone up and d6Wn the west- ern plains, some of the breath of frecedom and-independence that blows across tHem, Mr. Davis said he re- alizgd- that no matter what might happen elsewhere, never from the people of this section “shall one fraction of their liberties be filched.” Defining those liberties as freedom of speech, freedom of the press, freedom of assembly, trial by jury, the right of religious worship according to the dictates of conscience, freedom from search and seizure and freedom from conviction by bill of attainder at the hands of any legislature,®the Demoeratic presidential candidate declared they never should be surrendered. “Shall we surrender them at the will of a| majority of the .people?” he asked. “Not so long as one individual re- mains to claim them. “Shall we surrender them at the demand of any legislature, or a ma- jority of the legislators? Never! “Shall we surrender them at the demand of a majority of Congress? Never.” Sees Protection in Courts. * Mr. Davis said that if the Amer- ican people were not disposed te sur- render these liberties, their gudran- tee and their protection for .their preservation were the courts,* “That is the American theéry,” he declared. “And so long. as that power remains in an impgrtial court, so long our liberties are safe. And whenever the power is taken from the court and vested,in a mere ma- jority, some day a Bust of passion will rise and sweep/us from the pos- session of the things we hold most dear.” In his last rear platform speech of the day at Onaga, Kans,, Mr. Davis made an appeal against the voters permitting their parties to become their masters instead of their ser- vants. X “No free-born Amerlcan citizen,” Mr. Dayls said, “ought to say to him- selt, ‘my party, right or wrong, but, nevertheless, my party’. “iy party when it is right, and some other party when it is wrong.’ That is the motto that Americans ought to follow.” “In several of his addresses, par- fcularly here in Kansas, Mr. Davis Put forward a new definition of the difference between his own and the Republican parties. He said there always had been in this country two ideas about government. of he S | Washington and Other Society. “There is the idea,” he said, “of those who think in the language of Alexander Hamllton, that govern- ment i8 the province of the rich and the well born and the able, and that (Continued on Page 6, Column 7.) | SUNDAY, MORNING, SEPTEMBER 14, 1924—110 PAGES.

SYOSSET, N. Y., September 13.—The ! Prince of Wales was an excited spec- tator at the international polo match today at Meadowbrook. Leaning for- ward, his elbow on the rail of his box, cigarette In his mouth, gray felt hat turned down, he followed every play intently. Sometimes he ap: plauded, but more often he simply smiled the appreciation of a fellow player when a good shot was made. While he showed his interest by shifting his position, now toying with | his cigarette holder between his teeth, now clenching his fist against his cheek and blinking excitedly, he was far less demonstrative than the rest | of the 40,000 persons who filled the grandstand,, Applauds With Vigor. When the British rally began in the seventh period, instead of clap- ping his hands as he had done before, he stoBd up, pulled off his hat, grin- ned broadly and applauded with vigor for half a minute.

Kirk wood then scored another, followed by Lacey's:twof*bringing the British score 10 5. Thé prince laughed with satisfac- | tion, gripped the rail and let himself g0 like a base ball fan. When Stevenson fell in the eighth period there was a commotion in the prince’s box. The prince expressed concern and remarked: “It's like in hunting. When you pony falls you go down and sometimes you get knocked out.” Frowns at Cameramen. Leaving his motor car at the pub- lic gate instead of the club gate, the prince, accompanied by Maj. Met- calfe, his equerry; Maj. O. Solbert, his aide, and four secret service men, walked through the gate and half the length of the ficld in full view of the graudstand. The band in the center of the fleld played “God Save the King” as he entered his box. Then it played “The Star Spangled Ban- ner.” The prince. who had been fol- lowed by photographers, stood dur- ing the music, frowning a little while the cameramen snapped him. At the end of the,fourth period he strolled to the opposite end of the field to greet the British players. As he passed the entire western stand had a good look at him and ap- plauded. Then the 64 ponies of the twi teams, one led by the British flag. the other by the American, paraded around the fleld. On the way out the prince walked across the fleld to the clubhouse, while the band plaved a medley of Scottish airs, including “Auld Lang Syne” As he passed the eastern grandstand a large crowd surround- ed him, and secret service men and Ppolice had to make a path for him. Before leaving for Meadowbrook the prince played polo himself, more skillfully than at any other time in his almost daily games since his ar- rival. He entertained Lorg Island friends at dinner tonight and afterward went to a dance. ZR-3 ATLANTIC.FLIGHT POSTPONED AFTER TEST Cruise Reveals Defect. in Motor.
