President Burns Daughter’s Fingers Because Nickel Is Missing| By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, October 18.—Mrs. lizabeth Morris was arraigned in a Staten Island Court yesterday on charges of having beaten her step- daughter, Florence, 9 years old, after burning her fingers with matches. Mrs. Morris admitted burning the little girl, but denied that she had beaten her, a police sergeant .testified. “She was always short-changing me,” the mother said, “I sent her to the store with haif a dollar to buy some things, and she should have brought back a nickel. She didn't, and I was trying to break her of the habit.” The hearing was set for two weeks hence, as hospital author- ities said that the girl would be unable to leave the hospital for 10 days. most persons competent to judge, dis- proved” It was not a .question whether the United States subscribed to the doctrine of judicial review, for the Constitution provide dthat. The fauestion, said Mr. Hughes, was whether the Nation should abandon that doctrine, Questions Source of Authority. Vhere could the authority to pass upon constitutional limitations be lodged?" he asked. “Not with the Execu- tive, for that would be to make him supreme over Congress. Not with the Congress, for that would enable Con. gress to escape all the limitations of it powers and would make it supreme over the States. Not with the States, for that would enable the States to override all Federal authority. “Either we must abandon the prin- ciple of duality or maintain the jurisdic- tion of the Supreme Court of the United States, to pass with finality upon the constitutional validity of the legislative act; The Secretary of State declared it “quite clear that the present arrange- ent” for th election of President should be revised.” In particular, the provision for election by the House of Representatives in case no candidate receives a_majority of electoral votes “is seriously defective.”, He also considered “deserving of seri- ous consideration” whether the term of the presidency ehould not be extended to six years, with non-eligibility for elec- tion to a second consecutive term. He compared the presidential system, char- | acterized by historians as “built t"or safety, not speed.” with the prime min- ister parliamentary syetem, affording ‘swiftness in decision and vigor in tio He concluded that the American style was most stable and therefore most desirable. Room for Improvement. “There is, however, the possibility |of improvement without weakening he Executive and the Congress,” Mr. ! | Hughes continued. “It ought to be| {possible for cabinet officers to take part in the debates in both houses on matters touching their departments, and thus to be able to give exact in- formation and to defend themselves against unjust attacks. A vast mount of time is now wasted in the Congress over things that are not and |never wer Referring to criticisms of the pres- ent system of treaty making, with the Senate empowered to pass on the| work of the President, Mr. Hughes said “It is easy to make objections to the {present arrangement, but it would be difficult to devise a better one. It should be remembered that very few treaties have failed of approval in the Senate. In the last three and a alf years this Government has con- cluded 54 treaties, which were re- quired to be submitted to the Of these, 53 have been sent to and 47 have been approved.” The honorary degree of doctor « laws was conferred upon Secretai Hughes and, by proxy, upon In Charles Eliot, president emeritus Harvard University, last night. Dr. Chester H. Lord, chancellor o the university, presided, and the de grees were conferred by Dr. Frank P. Graves, State commissioner of edu- cation. — PRINCE LOSES GOLF MATCH IN CANADA! Beaten by 2 Up by Governor Gen-‘ eral—Attends Young People's Dance in Evening. By the Associated Pres: OTTAWA, October 18.—The Prince of Wales played 18 holes of golf yes- | terday afternoon at the Royal Ottawa | Golf Club and danced last night at| the Government House ball. | “After a closely contestéd struggle, | the governor general was the winner | of the golf match by two up. Both | the prince and the governor general | played excellent golf and a large gal- | lery quickly gathered on the club veranda, but respecting the prince’s | wishes, no one followed the players around the course.” The dance at Rideau Hall was perhaps the most brilllant ever held in the history of the famous old residence of Canada’s governor gen- erals. His royal highness, who re- ceived the guests just inside the ball room with Gov. Gen. Byng and Lady Byng was quick to identify many former friends among the younger set of the capital. It was entirely a young people’s party and limited to the city. About | 450" persons attended. More than 20 dances and encores were given and the prince danced most of them. UNDERWOOD FLAYS G.0.P. Large Audience at Roanoke, Va. Hears Alabama Senator. By the Associated Press. ROANOKE, Va., October 18.—An enthusiastic audience jammed the City Market Auditorium last night to hear Senator Oscar W. Underwood of Ala- bama flay the Republican administra- tion as one of “inaction, inefficiency and silence.” His attack on the ad- ministration and its leader in the White House was no less pronounced than his vindication of the character and ability of John W. Davis, the Democratic nominee. Representative Clifton A. Woodrum, who appeared on the platform with Senator Underwood, flayed the policies of the Republican party, laying espe- cial stress on “dishonest” methods. ORDER REIGNS IN MECCA. Holy City of Moslems Again Tran- quil Following Siege. Jewish Telegraphic Agency. JERUSALEM, October 18.—Perfect order reigns in Mecca, the holy city of the Moslems, after the siege of the | ‘Wahabis, according to infarmation received here from Mecca. It is stated that the previous reports con- cerning the plundering of houses and the palaces of ex-King Hussein were exaggerated. Not Wahabi soldiers, but traders, entered the city. Ex-King Hussein is still homeless, not knowing where he will find a refyge, . Having left Jeddah, he pro- ceeded to Akaba. There he received an invitation from his son, King Feisul of Mesopotmaila, to come to () THE EVENING § TRAIL OF “REDS” IN AMERICA Commonly Accepted Type of Bewhiskered Russian Bomb Carrier Far From Correct Picture of Leaders of BY JACOB SPOLANSKY. CHAPTER 2. When the word “red” is spoken a picture comes to most persons of a bearded Ruseian of the cartoon va- riety, huge of stature, wearing seven- league boots, with eyes of fire and a bomb in each hand. But the modern “red” is no such animal. He is as crafty as a graduate safeblower and as shrewd as any business man. He is sent here after months of study in Russia, where he has learned the principles of communism. He comes here as a leader and organizer, to train othe to help build an or- ganization which he hopes will con- quer the world by destroying its cap- ital by overthrowing all capi- talistic government through fore: and thus bringing about a world- wide revolution which will leave “the workers” in complete control These organizers are sent direct from Moscow, and every shipload brought in under the Russian quota carries three, four, ten or a dozen| men who have been speciully chosen | for the work of spreading the seed of domestic and industrial discontent throughout America. And they g0 forth as solemnly and with as much earnest intent as did the early Chris- ian crusaders. They believe the doc- es they preach. And they have sworn themselves in solemn conse- cration to ‘“the freedom of the Meeting Decides on Methods. So this little group of mas enthusiasts, gathered tocether the table in a shabby office on Wes Madison street, while the streets be- low were noisy with the blare of horns and the shouts and cheers of Armistice day celebrants, talked all ternoon, solemnly and seriously. and discussed in a most matter-o fact manner the methods to be adopt- ed which would bring about most speedily the overthrow of the United States “capitalistic government” and supersede it by a rule of the pro- letariat. The meeting several times grew heated, but not because of any de- cided difference as to the principles involved—merely because the views of one or two of the group differed from the rest as to the procedure to be adopted. They all were agreed on tossing out the “governing capital- ists” and substituting rulers from their own ranks. In fact, before the meeting had concluded the entire program of the Russian Communist party had been approved. And it had also been decided to follow the plan submitted from Moscow to build an organization in the United States with the idea of eventually bringing about a revolution. It was at this meeting that it was decided to form a league for the pur- pose of spreading propaganda, to be known as the Communist Propaganda League, to further Communist doc- trine. This organization, it was planned, should have its headquarters in New York. Sowing Seeds of Revol This meeting voted complete sup- port of the program adopted by the Russian Communist party, which pro- vided for the overthrow of all capital- tic governments throughout the world by force. This program also expressed the belief that the only way in which a proletarian govern- ment could be substituted for those | now TAR, WASHINGTON, D. €, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 18§ in existence was by “mass ac- tion"—by organizing the masses and Communism. stirring up such discontent that revo- lution would result. In order to spread more thoroughly the doetrines of communism through- out the United States it was decided to obtain and send out over the coun- try speakers who should preach the gospel of mass action by force and who would engender among the working classes the spirit of revolu- tion which, “on a certain day,” should be crystallized into concerted action—which day, it was intended, should mark the downfall of the United States Government. These questions were debated hotly for hours, but the arguments were merely quibblings over certain details of the procedure. When the program had been decided on, they all stood, grasping hands in comradely fashion, while Stoklitzky expressed the feeling of the entire group as they adjourned. “Gentlemen,” said he, “we speak as members of the Sccialist party to other Soctalists, primarily in the in- terests of the party itself. Those of us who have organized this propa- ganda league, in common with like- minded Socialists throughout the country are imbued with thoughts that socialism as it now functions falls short of its possibilities in giv- ing leadership and unity to the revo- lutionary elements of the United States. And by fostering a truly revolutionary movement in this coun- try we hasten the coming of govern- ment by the rightful owners—the proletariat sayi the meeting adjourned. And thu. mmunism was born in the United States. Chicago as “Red” Hendquarters. Nor was this the last meeting held in Chicago at which plans were per- fected for strengthening the organ- ization of the Communists. Chicago developed rapidly into the headquar- city for the radical movement. N in the United States has a more varied collection of radicals and radical societies than Chicago. It is here that all orders concerning spe- cial or general movements of Com- munists have their origin—received direct from Moscow. It is here are found the guiding geniuses of Com- minism who direct their activities all over the country. It is here that all propaganda originates, and it is here that recruiting agents and leaders make their way to meet “in conven- tion,” then to leave again for the sec- tions of the country assigned to them for the spread of the revolutionary doctrine. Organizers, with Chicago as their headquarters, have worked until the ranks of Communism have swollen to almost unbelievable numbers. Sev- eral secret conventions have been held here, and there have been organized complete underground connections whereby activities and directions may be transmitted without detection. All these orders come from Chicago. chools of radicalism have been es tablished here which members are| compelled to attend, and it is here| that elaborate plans and minute in- | structions, issued in Moscow, are re- ceived at stateéll intervals and dis patched with clocklike regularity to other headquarters.
