This represented an overnight advance of more than 3 cents bLushel, with all deliveries of wheat and rye here touching a new high- price record for the season. Urgency of foreign demand for breadstuffs ‘was the chief apparent cause. Trading on a big scale was in prog- ress in all the grain pits, but over the tumult of kiddinng scattered cheers were heard when wheat hit the zoal of $1.50. Meanwhile rye had made a sensational leap of 5 cents a bushel in price and was selling $1.32 bushel, May delivery, as compared with $1.27 last night.

THURSDAY, OCTOBER LEAGUE PEACE AND ARBITRATION, PROTOCOL TERMS MADE PUBLIC Resort to War Made More Difficult by Processes of Appeals to Council and World Court—U. S. Might Be Affected. By the Associated Press. GENEVA, October 2.—What is of- ficially known as “the protocol for pacific settlement of _international disputes” is a document containing a preamble and 21 clayse: The preamble sets forth that one of its purposes is the realization of the reduction of national armaments to the lowest point consistent with natfonal safety and the enforcement by common action of intérnational obligations. The most important clauses are those which interpret and strengthen the League of Nations covenant, pro- vide a system for the fihing of an aggressor state, and machinery for the arbitra’ion of all and any dis- putes whicl: may arise, thus paving the way to what former Premier |Briand, in his speech, called “making war on war.” Agreement on War. Article 11 says: “The signatory states agree in ne cfée to resort to war, either with one another, or against a state which, if occasion arises, accepts all the obligations hereafter set out, except in case of resistance to acts of aggression, or when acting in agreement with the council or assembly of the League of Nations, accordance with the pro- visions of the covenant and the pres- ent protocol.” Article HI commits the signatories to the acceptance of the compulsory arbitration clause of the World Cour! sservations are permitted, but cssion must be given within a month after the protocol enters into foree. Article IV on the provisions of Article league covenant as follows pute submitted to the council is not settled by it as provided in para- graph 3, Article XV, the council shall endeavor to persuade the parties to submit the dispute to judicial settle- ment or arbitration. If the parties cannot agreed to do eo, there shall, at the request of at least one of the par- ties, be constituted a committee of arbitrators. This committee shall, so far as possible, be constituted by agreement between the partie: When Council May Aect. “If within the period fixed by the the parties have failed to agree, in whole or in part, upon the number of names and powers of the arbitrators, and upon the procedure, the council shall settle the point re- maining in suspense. It will, with the utmost possible dispatch, sel t, in consultation with the parties, the arbitrators and their president from among persons who, by their nation- ality, their personal character and ex- perience, appear to fur h the high- est guarantee of competence and im- partiality. ‘Atter the claims of the parties have been formulated the committee of arbitrators. upon the request of any party, shall, through the medium of the council, request advisory opin- ion upon any points of law in dispute from the Permanent Court of Inter- e. If none of the par- ties asks for arbitration the council shall again take the dispute under consideration. 1If the council reaches a report which is unanimously agreed XV of the dis- di |10 by the members thereof, other than representatives of any of the parties to the dispute. the signatory states agree to comply with the recommen- dations therein reach a report which is concurred in by all the members other than repre- | sental dispute, arb of any it shall ration of the partie submit the d to the pute to Must Accept Report. “In no case may a solution upon {which there has already been a unani- mous recommendation by the council and which has been accepted by one of the parties concerned be again called into question. The signatory states undertake to carry out in full and in good faith any judicial Sen- tence or arbitral award that may be rendered and will comply with the solutions recommended by the coun- cil. “In the event of a state failing to carry out the above undertakings the council shall exert all influence to ob- tain compliance therewith. If it fails therein it shall propose what sters hould be taken to give effect thereto, in accordance with the prov contained at the end of Article XIII of the covenant. Should a state, in disregard of the above undertakings, resort to war, sanctions provided for by Article XVI of the covenant, and interpreted in the manner indicated by the protocol, shall immediately become applicable to it Clause V, on domestic jurisdiction, which was amended at the request of the Japanese, says: “The provisions of Paragraph VIII, Article XV, of the covenant, shall continue to apply in proceedings before the council. If in the course of arbitration one of the parties claims that the dispute, or a part thereof, arises out of a matter which, by international law, is solely within the domestic jurisdiction of that party, the arbitrators shall on this point take the advice of the Per- manent Court of International Jus- tice, through the medium of the coun- cil. The opinion of the court shall be binding upon the arbitrators, who, if the opinion is affirmative, shall con- fine themselves to so declaring in their award. If the question is held by the court or council to be a mat- ter solely within the domestic juris- diction of the state, this decision shall not prevent a consideration of the situation by the council or assem bly under Article XI of the covenant. Curb on Armaments. By Article VIL if the dispute arises, the states agree that before submitting the same to arbitration or during arbitration they will not increase their armaments as regu- lated by next year's conference. Authority is provided to investigate whether increases occur, and any guilty state will be summoned by the council. If it refuses to obey the summons the council, by a two-thirds majority, may decide upon measures to end the situation threatening pea: Article IX recommends the estab- lishment of demilitarized zones. Article X, defining an aggressor, which was also amended at the re- quest of the Japanese, says: “A state which resorts to war in violation of the undertaking con- tained in the covenant, or in _the present protocol, is an agressor. Vio- lation of the rules laid down in de- militarized . zones shall be held as equivalent to a resort to war. In the event of hostilities hgving brok- en out, any state shall be presumed to be an agressor unless a decision of the council, which must be taken unanimously, shall otherwise declare,’ if it has refused to submit the dis- pute to the procedure of pacific set- tlement provided by Articles XIIT and XV of the covenant, amplified by the present protocol, or comply with the judicial sentence or ar- bitral award, or with the unanimous recommendation of the council, or has disregarded the unanimous re- port of the council, or a judicial sentence or arbitral award recogniz- ing that the dispute between it and the other belligerent state arises out of a matter which, by international law, s solely within the domestic jurisdiction of the latter state.

Any belligerent, which has refusdd to accept the armistice, or has violated its terms shall be deemed an aggressor. ‘I'ne council shall call upon stgnatory states to apply forthwith against the aggressor the sanctions provided by Article XTI of the present protocol, and any signatory state thus called upon shall thereupon be entitied to exer- cise the rights of a belligerent.” Article X1 on sanctions declares that as soon as the council has called upon the signatory states to apply sanctions. the obligations of the states in regard to the sanctions of all kinds mentioned in Articie XV1 of the covenant, will immediately be- come operative for employment. The irticle continuet Loyal Co-operation Required. “Those obligations shall be inter- preted as obliging each of the signa- tory states to co-operate loyally and effectively to support the covenant of the League of Nations, and, in resist- anc to any act of aggression, in degree according to its geographical position and its rticular situation, as regards armaments. In accordance with Paragraph 11I, Article XVI of the covenant, the signatory states agree jointly dertaking t of the state come to the assistance attacked or threatened and to give each other mutual sup- port by means of the facilities of reciprocal exchanges as regards pro- vision of raw materials and supplies of every kind, openings of credits, transport and transit. purpose to take all measures in their power to preserve the safety of com- munication by land and sea of the attacked or threatened state. If both parties to the dispute are aggr ssive within the meaning of Article X, eco- nomic and financial sanctions shall be applied to both of them." Article XIII calls upon the states to inform the council what militar: and naval air forces they would be able to bring into action immediately for fulfililment of the obligations of the covenant and protocol. This ar- ticle also authorizes the operation of special regional military agreements, thereby meeting the French desire for security, provided the agreements are registered and published and are open to the adherence of all the mem- ber states. Affects Non-Members. XVI, which possesses im- to non-members of the league, says: “The signatory states agree that in the event of a dispute between one or more of them and one or more states which have not signed the protocol and are not members of the League of Nations, such non-mem- ber states shall be invited, on condi- tions contemplated in article XVII of the covenant, to submit for the pur- pose of pacific settlement to the obli- gations accepted by states which are signatories to the present protocol. If the state so invited, having refused to accept said conditions and obliga- rts to war againts a signa provisions of article XVI covenant as defined by the present protocol shall be applicable against it" The concluding articles provided for the convocation of a conference for the reduction of armaments at Ge- neva, June 15, 1925, with all the coun- tries invited, and to ask the council to draw up a definite program for the same. If by May 1 the protocol has not been ratified by a majority of the permanent membe: of the council and 10 other league members the council shali decide whether to cancel the invitation or adjourn the confer- ence. 1f sufficiently ratified the protocol will enter into force as soon as the plan for reduction of armaments has been adopted by the council. 1f the plan is not carried out the council may declare the protocol null and void, but the grounds on which the council can so make this declaration must be laid down by the conference itself. 47 NATIONS ADOPT RESOLUTION URGING WAR-BAN PROTOCOL Article portance (Continued from First Page.) laborate in our work, animated by that highest form of idealism which she so amply demonstrated during the great war.” Raoul Dandurand of Canada said that the Dominion would be loyal to the covenant and would vote for the protocol resolution, but he remarked that Canada, when she subscribed to the covenant, was far from the thought that she would have the en- tire burden of representing North America when an appeal came for assistance in maintaining peace In Europe. “The falling away of the United States,” he said, “has increased in her eyes the risks we have assumed, and the history of Europe during the last five years has not been such as to lessen that apprehension.” The other speakers included rep- resentatives of Sweden, Brazil, Po- land, Persia, Chile and Uruguay. . French Position Stated. M. Briand painted a picture of France prostrated by a war which had been forced upon her and as a land yvearning for eternal peace, and attacked “perfidious propagandists Wwho have represented France as a na- tion bristling with bayonets and en- deavoring to dominate the world and realize an abominable dream of su- premacy.” No country, he said, more ardently desired to get rid of the burden of armaments than France, and France stood ready as soon as her security was assured to run in the vanguard and help in the solution of the prob- lems for the reduction of armaments. He was convinced that the protocol meant a new era ard he believed that the man in the sireet would hail it, rejoicing that the statesmen had at last made war secmingly impossible. English to Ald Pact. England, through Lord Parmoor, lord president of the council, did not go as far as France, merely announc- ing her acceptance of the resolution transmitting the protocol to the gov- ernments, but promising to exert all the influence of the British govern- ment and parliament to ratify ft. The Japanese delegation has col- laborated sincerely and loyally with 11 in the elaboration of the protocol of arbitration and security, Viscount Ishii declared at the night session of the league assembly. Viscount Ishii concluded with the statement that the Japanese delegation gave its entire approval “with lively satis- faction” to the resolution which transmits the protocol to the home governments.

Every world series has had its quota of compldining fans who felt' they had been unjustly treated by the busi- ness management of their favorite club in the matter of tickef distribu- tion, and the present series promises to rival preceding ones in that re- spect. Fans are charging the Washington management with favoring certain prominent folk and ignoring the mass of regular supporters of the club. There may be some instances in which complaints are justified, but generally it appears the great task of putting out the tickets for the base ball classic betweerl Natioghls and Giants due to open here Saturday has been well handled. “All applications for world series tickets filed with the Washington base ball club have been taken care of as well as humanly possible” declared President Clark Griffith of the Na- tionals at his office today. Started Work at Once. “You must remember that we could not act upon applications until we were assured of the pennant. When the office force knew Monday evening that part of the serics would be held here, it immediately set about for- warding reservation cards and has been hard at work since “We received applications for tick- ets as far back as June, when the Nationals first became prominent pennant contenders, and betore an other month passed they were pour- ing into the office until within the past few weeks we were averaging as many as 5000 a day. More than 150,000 were received “Our ball park will seat only 37.000, and as no reserved seat single game tickets are sold you can understand what we were up ugainst. Every ap- plication was recorded on specially prepared cards and filed in chrono- logical order. requests, but wanted to give as many applications as possible considera- tion and in many instances were com- pelled to reduce the total of tickets asked. “We gave the grandstand applica- tions first consideration and when they took up all available seats of that class, we sent to the remainder of grandstand applicants pavilion tickets. Naturally that soon exhaust ed the pavilion reservations and re- maining applications that could he considered were filled with tickets for seats in the outficld stands “But in handling this ticket propo- ion, we have first given considera- n to Washington fans. After them, took up the applications of nearby Maryland and Virginia supporters of the Nationals. And no other prefer- ence has been shown. So-cailed ‘pull’ does not figure in the distribution.” Charges of favoritism are rife among the Washington fans, but there seems to be no real basis for them. There were a number of men prominent in civic organizations pre ent at the testimonial dinner given the Washington team at the Oc dental last night and many of them had received only pavilion while others had gotten none at all Some of them complained. too, that they had filed applications weeks ag: and among them were personal friends of the president of the Na- tionals, but it developed that many applications had preceded theirs and they had to be content with v'hat they drew.

Dolan, he said, asked him ‘if he was well acquainted with Sand. O'Connell said he told him he was, saying they were both Califor- nians and had known each other for a long time. Dolan then said, according to O’Connell: “If you can get Sand to let down in today's game, tell him there's $500 in it for him." Accuses All Giants. “1 asked Dolan where the money was to come from,” continued O'Connell, “and he sald, ‘Well, the Giants are all going to chip in and make up the purse.’ I agreed and said I would see Sand before the game.” , Asked If he did not ‘consider it strange that such an offer should be made by a fellow team member, O'Connell replie “No, I didn’t. Dolan said all other players on the team were on it and I sald to myself, ‘If the fellows are in on this there nothing strange about It and all_right for me, too.

Sand said, ‘We're not for anybody— we are finishing out the season.” I then told Sand that if he would not ‘bear down’ in that day's game it would be worth $500 to him and he said he wouldn't do it and walked away. ‘Nothing doing.’ Sand said.” O’Connell then said he reported to Dolan in the dugout the result of his colloquy with Sand. whereupon the coach told him to “forget it.” Tale Brings Inquiry.

The newest blow to base ball has landed most heavily on the Pa Coast, where Jimmy O'Connell, 5.- 000 beauty,” purchased by New York in 1921, but who did not report until the end of 1922, occupied the same relative position in public esteem that jabe Ruth now holds in the national field. Commissioner Landis’ statement on the matter follows: “Player O'Connell and Coach Dolan the New York National League base ball club have today been placed on the ineligible list. This action was taken by the commissioner on evidence furnished by the confession of O'Connell and the testimony of Dolan. “It appeared that on Saturday. Sep- tember 27, O'Connell and of the Philadelphia Nationals 3500 to throw the ball game, Sand refused and prompyy reported to Manager Fletcher. This was fol- lowed by the commissioner's investi- gation in co-operation with the offi- cials of the New York club which re- sulted in O'Connell's confession, which placed the responsibility of instigating the scheme on Dolan, whose testimony in his own behalf was of such a character as to be un- acceptable, “O'Connell’s confession sought implicate Players Frisch, Young and Kelly of the New York club, but their testimony, in the commissioner's opinion, Was a clear refutation of the charge, which, standing alone, was exceedingly unreasonable, “The commissioner desires to ex- press his heartiest commendation of the action of Player Sand.” FIND BUT TWO GUILTY. implication finger, has Landis and Heydler Name 0’Con- nell, Dolan. Investigation of the charges of at- tempted bribery involving the New York Giants, National League cham- plons, has been completed, and base ball officials apparently are convinced that the expulsion of Jimmy O'Con- nell, young outfield substitute, and Cozy Dolan, veteran coach, has brought the case officially to a close. This was the attitude reflected to- day by Commissioner Landis, who an- nounced in New York last night that Dolan and O'Connell had been placed on the ineligible list, and John A. Heydler, president of the National League. No Developments Expected. Both officials arrived here early today from New York and after a conference indicated that no further steps were contemplated unless some new angle arises in a situation which has been subject to the most search- ing investigation.

Set rumors flylng thick and fast, but among leaders gathering here for the diamond classic. There was a disposition to close the ranks and go ahead with series plans. President Heydler was quick to deny a report that the charges against the Giants might go so far a8 to cause cancellation of the title natter will | | of the offered Player | which | series with the here Saturday. “There is not the remotest chance of this affair interfering with the series,” the National League execu- tive declared. “Judge Landis’ findings and his decision, announced last night, have disposed of the case so far as we can anticipate. The guilt has been put where it belongs. It does not invelve any other member of the Giants and the series will go_on.” The dispatch with which the entire O'Connel’ affair was handled was stressed by President Heydler. It was Just prior to last Saturday's game at New York with the Phillies, during bat- ting practice, that O'Connell, it is charged, approached Heinie Sand, Philly shortstop, with a $500 offer to *“throw” the contest, which was won by the Giants, clinching the pennant. Sand, refusing the offer, immediately report- ed the incident to his manager, Arthur Fletcher, for many years a Giaht star, and Fletcher laid the case before Presi- dent Heydler the following day, during the second game of the series at the Polo Grounds.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa., October Heinic Sand, Philadelphia National League shortstop, who reported to the base ball authorities an attempt to bribe him to throw last day's game to the New York still declined today to go details of the transaction He said he had wired President Heydler of the National League for advice as to whether he should remain silent make a public statement. The Phillies, who are on a barn-storming trip, played here yesterday and appear in Wilkes-Barre this afternoon. Sand said the attempted bride was made on the field before the game. Jimmy O'Connell, the Giants' bsti- tute outfielder, who made the attempt, was a long time getting down to the point, Sand said. No mention was made of how the game was to be thrown. nor did O'Connell y how the bribe was to be paid, or where it was from As soon he turned 8and added, he reported the to Manager Art Fletcher of the Phillies, who informed Prgsident Heydler. Sand said he made a state- ment to Mr. Heydler. who informed him that Commissioner Landis was on the way from the West and that he would immediately tuke it up with him Sand said he a full statement to Judge Landis. The commissiol Sand declared, said he would “run this thing to the bo tom.” Sand said Giants into the to come matter at which he made he sorry that O'Connell made the offer. He did not know why he had picked him out, he added. but thought it was because he and O'Connell were good personal friends.

October off of the world series would too far to g0 to get the right result of base ball's latest scandal, it wa declared today by Barney Dreyfuss, owner of the Pittsburgh Pirates, who issued a statement. declaring Jimn O'Connell and Coach Cozy Dolan the New York Giants, accused of offering a bribe to have a game with Philadelphia thrown last Saturday. were “only the goats.’ Dreyfuss. whose team for a time threatened to win the pennant in the National League, declared that Dolan last vear approached Pie Traynor, stellar third baseman of the Pirates, and, he was informed, “advised Traynor to hold me up for $15,000 salary for 1924." Dreyfuss said when he learned of Traynor being approached he pected that Manager McGraw had put Dolan up to the trick, his object probably being to get Travnor di satistied and make trouble on our club or force us to trade the third baseman.” At the hearing before Commissioner Landis, the statement said. Dolan said he had merely “told Pie he ought to get more money in 1924 and denied any one has prompted him. Dreyfuss said he made charges against Dolan before Commissioner Landis after the world series in New Calling not be “sus- | York last Fall. “Traynor repeated his story and there was clear evidence of tampering,” said Dreyfuss' state- ment, which declared that both John McGraw, manager of the Giants, and Dolan, “were warned at the time to keep away from other clubs.” Referring to the scope of the pres- ent investigation, Drevfuss declared the full duty of Commissioner Landis would not be done until he had probed the case much further. Thinks Story Just Starting. “I think it is only the beginning,” said the statement, “and that we have merely been given the first chapter of what is likely to prove a long story. It is my opinion that O'Connell and Dolan are only the goats, and that the guilt goes much further. It is insult to the intelli- gence of the public to ask people to believe that two rather obscure mem- bers of a champion club, like O'Con- nell and Dolan, would go and offer to pay somebody $500, solely of their own money, to have something crook- ed done that would benefit many other persons besides themselves. “It is safe to say that the two named would never consent to stand all the expense. Others were to profi and I feel sure that if_the investiga tion is carried far enough others will be found guilt “Commissioner Landis should go a great deal further with his probe. The case must not be dropped here, for I am convinced in my own mind that there are other guilty parties in the background and that if the case is pushed far enough there will be developments that will warrant other expulsions. The matter should not be allowed to drop wiith the punishment of a couple of goats. * * '+ Base ball cannot stand for any thing like this. Even if it is nece: sary to abolish the world series, the good name of the sport must be pro- tected. Calling off of the world se- ries would not be too far to go to get the right results.” - Drops Dead on Street Car.
