The resolution will be communicated to the German govern- ment. The Athentans have induced former Premier Venizelos of Greece to de- fend before the council of the league the Greek government's interest in the dispute concerning the protection of the Bulgarian minoritles residing n Greece Venizelos took issue with the report on the subject submitted to the council by Austen Chamberlain, the British for- «ign secretary, which rebuked Greece for failing to ratify a protocol its rep- resentatives had made with the council The Greek statesman insisted his coun- try's attitude was justified on broad grounds. Incidentally, he remarked: “A greater protocol than this has just been burled—T trust not forever, for if hu- manity will only follow its principles it will find means of preventing war.” The dispute subsequently was settled amicably by Greece consenting to an- swer a semies of questions designed to make clear whether Greece actually was living up to her obligations toward the minority population Greece Explains Stand. The dispute was really one between Qreece and the council. Greece's re- fusal to ratify the protocol made with the council was on the ground that its provisions were at variance with the neral terms of the general minority ireatles and violated the established principle that do not permit interfer- ence with internal affairs of the state. Mr. Chamberlain's report, strongly rebuking Greece for her attitude, set forth that all minority treaties in- volved a certain restraint of state sovereignty, and that the acceptance of obligations imposed constituted a free and helpful contribut®on to the volicy of international co-operation a contribution no less free and no more derogatory than any great vower has made to such problems as disarmament or arbitration. M. Venizelos declared that former Foreign Minister Bolitis of Greece, “great jurist as he i had com- mitted a political error in signing the protocol. and that the Greek arliament had done the league a Zood service in rejecting It, because It contained stipulations, including a special right of appeal granted to Bulgarians, which Greece never could fulfill without fomenting jealousy and anger among the Gireek population He insisted the eneral minority treaties affecting (ireece: were sufficient to protect the educational and religious rights of the Bulgarians, and he pledged the Hellenic government loyally to execute them LEAGUE HURT IS VIEW. Held Impotent in Important Is- sues by Observers. dio to The Star and Chicago Daily News. GENEVA, March 14—The thirty- third meeting of the Council of the League of Nations, which ends to- Aay, has been a disastrous session for the league, in the opinion of many observers. The league seems to be ¢onfined, they think, to discussing minor differences and is excluded from attempting to settle important disputes. Austen Chamberlain’s declaration of the views of the British government makes it clear than Great Britain's attitude is firmly against the Geneva protocol, firmly against a general agreement for submitting all cases if they do not include Germany. Mr. Chamberlain stated that if the leagus covenant is not enough it should be supplemented and not re- placed. As regards the court, he said, it was impossible to predict the future and therefore impossible to accept in advance judgments to be rendered’ in conflicts between nations of different aditions, interests, civilizations, size, importance and sentiment Split Seems Widened. seems the British are farther ever from offering a special pact with France, as France seems unwilling to accept a settlement that will include German. Mr. Chamberlain s he is ready to participate in a reduction of arma- ments conference on the principle that it adheres to the league covenant. He seems to have a firm intention of re- serving liberty of action, refusing to bind the British government to theo- retical permanent peace by tying its hands to alllances and agreements which would bring British forces to parts of the world where British in- terests were absent The absence of the United States will be used to excuse many with- drawals, both the French and the British intimating that this absence makes economic sanctions meaning- less. Refusal to accept the protocol automatically rejects the proposed re- ductlon of armaments conference, which was slated for May.

Everybody Likes Him,But Sometimes Smile at His “*Persuasion.” BY ROBERT T. SMALL. Not only the leadership of Coolidge, but the leadership of Charles Curtis has been invoMved in the Senate fight over the confirma- tion of Charley Warren as Attworney General of the United States. The nantle of Senate leadership fell upon Charley Curtis last December. He was the choice of his “regular” as- sociates to succeed the late Henry Cabot Lodge. It is odd that the two Republican leaders in Washington to- day should both sign their initials S Charley Curtis has tried a new plan of leadership, but it has been the only plan he could try; the dnly plan he knows. Lodge was an austere leader. He felt that not his service, but his cold intellectuality had gained him the high place among his fellows. He ruled by alooiness. He was the king. Let the other Senators make obeis- anc. . Lodge Leaned on Cwmrtis, Calvin SENATOR CURTIS. would have been better. Certainly it more clearly points his manner of leadership today. These persuasive tactics are all right with the “admin- istration” Senators—the regulurs— because they have minds that go along with the President's and only Of course, this sort of thing, which is known in the later parlance as “high-hatting.” did not always work. Somebody had to do the visiting with the other Senators of the G. O. P. Somebody had to get them in line, to buttonhole them and find out how they were going to vote; to find out if they were going to be present when an important issue arose; to get “pairs”; with the Democrats when Re- publicans were to be away. All of this kitchen police duty fell under the Lodge regime upon the shoulders of Charles Curtls of Kan- sas, descendant of the very first fami- lies of America—the Indians. Sena- tor Curtis was the Republican “whip™ while Lodge sat upon the throne. Today Senator Curtls wears the purple, but somehow or other his colleagues still think of him as the whip. That is because he mingles with them on the floor and In the cloak rooms as of yore. He does not remain aloof and send for them by messenger. Charley Curtis is not that sort. He Is known as one of the very best “fellows” in the Senate. Everybody likes him. He is soft spoken. Somehow, the title “whip” never seemed the one to apply to Charley Curtis The ‘“persuader’” CARTER MAY DENY PLEA OF VETERANS Not Inclined to Grant Hear- ing Prior to Reply to White House. Fublic Printer George H. Carter to- day indicated he would not grant the request of officials of three veterans' organizations for a conference re- garding the alleged illegal discherge of a number of ex-service men from the force of the Government Printing Office. Mr. Carter said he received such are- quest today in the form of a letter from William Homer Carroll, depart- ment commander of the Veterans of Foreign Wars. The letter asked that Carroll. together with Arthur League, department commander of the United Spanish War Veterans, and D, J. Hussey, commander of the Disabled American Veterans, be al- lowed to discuss the matter with the Public Printer at an early date “In view of the fact that Mr. Carroll saw fit to go direct to the President of the United States instead of first taking the mater up with me, as would seem to be the customary pro- cedure, 1 do not feel that I should discuss the matter with him at all have replied to the White House,” Mr. Carter stated Carroll Filed Protest. Carroll sent to the President days ago a formal protest agalnst the alleged irjustices done ex-service men during the recent general dismissal of about 175 em- ployes because of “lack of funds.” This letter was referred to the public printer when it reached the White House. George Seibold, Mr. several secretary of Co- Union, No. 101, today criticized Mr. Carter for erect- ing a large electric sign system on top of the printing office, pointing out that this move was at variance with the announcement that funds for the printing office were depleted. Secretary Selbold said the sign was nothing more than a ‘costly orna- ment.” When Mr. Carter's attention was called to Mr. Seibold's state- ment he denied that the sign was a costly one and refused to enter into an argument about the matter through the press. Referring to the precautions taken to guard the big plant since the re- ceipt of bomb threats over the tele- phone, Mr. Carter declared that he entortained no fears for himself or colleagues. “Our plant is always well guarded. It must be. I'm not worried,” he said. Comdr. Carroll stated today that many representatives of veterans’ organizations have announced their intention of attending the mass meet- ing March 20 at the District Build- ing to discuss the dismissals. SENATE’S VICTORY ON WARREN LOOMS; COOLIDGE ASKS DELAY (Continued from First Page.) those men in whom he personally has confidence, and that, unless the Sen- ate can find some blemish on the man, that body should not make partisan politics out of appointments to the cabinet. The President is inclined to think that if partisan politics is brought up every time the President makes a cabinet appointment it is going to be difficult and embarrassing for the Executive. He realizes that he must appoint human beings and it is going to be difficult to get one against whom some objection cannot be raised it partisanship is to be fol- lowed. B s Noiseless Airplane Made. Aviation experts have developed a noiseless airplane, it is now known, as a result of work that has been done by the various societies interest- ed in aviation since the war. The ex- haust gases are enabled to escape silently without interfering with the lifting power or speed of the plane, and an ingenious arrangement of gears has made a noiseless propeller possible. Likewise a new idea in bracing has reduced the noise of wind rushing through the wires and planes, | | have to be told the desires of the White House before acting in com- plete accordance therewith. But there are the “hard-bofled” in- dependents, “half-breeds,” mavericks and non-union Senators—about 10 of them all told—and, while Borah and Johnson and Norris and the others are extremely fond of Charley Curtls and call him by his first name, they only smile at some of his efforts of persuasion and go their own sweet way, voices of distress from the White House to the contrary not- wAthstanding Senator Curtis has come into the leadership at a most difficult time. He is confronted by several pretend- ers to the throne. There is the new Senator Butler of Massachusetts, for insance, supposed to be the Presi- dent’s mouthplece, and ohairman of the national committee. There Is Borah. leader of the independents; Brookhart, leader of the insurgents. Charley Curtls was in the House 15 years. He has been in the Senate going on 16. He knows all the rules, he has been the whip, but he won't use the lash. It will be interesting to see how he makes out in the long run. 18 John Tyler’s Fight Recalled in Row QOver Warren Case! Submitted Nominations 3 Times Before Ad- mitting Defeat. About 81 years ago President John Tyler was wrestling with the Senate over his nominations in a manner similar to the struggle now in prog- ress between President Coolidge and the ratifying body. But President Tyler tried it three times before he gave up, whereas President Coolidge so far has tried it only twice. An editorial from the New York Tribune of March 6, 1843, gave that paper’s viewpoint at that time, as fol- lows: “The last an night was signalized by exhibition, the part of Mr. Tyler, of one of those ‘Roman’ char- acteristics which he formerly deemed so culpable in Gen. Jackson. Mr. Tyler had nominated to the Senate: ‘Henry A. Wise, for Minister to France. Caleb Cushing, for Secretary of the Treasury. “Willlam W. Irwin, for charge d'at- faires in Denmark. “Here were three of the six guards- men in Congress—one-half the lot— to be pald off in a lump, directly in the teeth of the cardinal Whig princi- ple, so explicitly and solemnly pro- claimed, that members of Congress ought not to be rewarded with ex- ecutive stations for subserviency to the dispenser of such stations. But these gentlemen found the ‘con- stitutional fact’ of the Senate stand- ing rigidly between them and the goal of their ambitions. Mr. Wise was rejected by 24 to 12, Mr. Cushing, by 27 to 19; Mr. Irwin was allowed to pass, though a call of the yeas and nays would probably have stop- ped him. “The rejection of Cushing and Wise was promptly communicated to the President (who is usually in attend- ance at the Capitol on the last night of the session). In half an hour a message was transmitted to the Sen- ate, renominating both Wise and Cushing, commending their eminent fitness, etc., and hoping the Senate would think better of its decision. They were agaln rejected, by some 30 votes to 8 or 10, and the fact com- municated to the President. Ina few minutes he renominated them again, this time very crustily. They were forthwith again rejected by some 40 votes to 2. The Accidental had by This time discovered that there was at least one other ‘constitutional fact' beside himself, and hauled off to re- pair damages.” KILLS FOUR WITH AX, THEN SEEKS SUICIDE By the Associated Press. KANSAS CITY, Mo, March 14.— Maurice L. Gibson of Prather HII, Mo., killed his four children with an ax early today, while his wife was in another part of the house, and then hacked himself with the ax and later slashed his wrist. He is expected to live. No reason has been assigned for the killing. The children were Maurice, jr., and Marjorie, twins, 7 years old; Hazel, 5, and Helen, 1% years. After the slaying Gibson ran to the home of his sister-in-law 100 yards away, where he hacked him- self with the ax. When search was belng made for him he went to another part.of the house and slashed his wrist. on Gloves Good After 39 Years. Tom Mercer, a deputy shefiff in Cottonwood Falls, Kans., still uses a pair of gloves bought 39 years ago to use in driving when courting the young women of his neighborhood. He uses them now for a slightly dif- ferent purpose, as his principal work is in making long drives to appre- hend bootleggers. The gloves were bought from Ben Graham of Flor- ence, Kans, now president. of the Florence State Bank. E EVENING STAR, . WASHINGTON, D. C, CHANGED QUTLOOK | ONTRUSTS SHOWN; SURGEONS' PRAISE Warren Case Det;ate Re- veals How Public Mind Has Altered in Attitude. BY DAVID LAWRENCE. Entirely apart from the merits of the question of whether President Coolidge should have sent to the Sen- ate a second time the name of Charles B. Warren to be Attorney General, the debate has revealed some significant changes in tne way “trusts” were viewed nearly two decades ago. and how the combinations and co-opera- tive organizations of today have been accepted as a matter of course. Many people who have not taken the time to study the intricate record that has been built up in the debate over Mr. Warren's nomination would be surprised to learn from the letters exchanged between Mr. Warren and the so-called sugar trust is what the practice was in 1906 and thereabouts and what it Is today. Mr. Warren, as a lawyer of note, had been interested in Michigan sugar companies from 1902. During the period thereafter, lasting until 1906, he was counsel for H. 0. Havemeyer, head of the Sugar Refining Co., frequently called a trust, and finally ordered by decree of the Federal courts to refrain from entanglements with other companies which would bring about a monopoly In restraint of trade. Charge Agalnst Warren, The charge directly laid against Mr. Warren 1s that he quietly bought stock In the beet sugar companies fh Michigan and that while he was dolng it and obtaining control of them the prices for sugar were being fixed by the “trust” 8o as to force the smaller companies into the bosom of the trust. Mr. Warren admits he was buying up the stock, but says a number of people knew {t, Including other stock- holders. His opponents deny this. Mr. Warren Insists that the Michigan companies went to the “trust” for aid and rescue. The opposition says the vlan was devised by Mr. Havemeyer. In any event, when control of the Michigan companies was obtained, a central board was instituted at which prices and methods of operation were arranged in accordance with the wishes of Mr. Havemeyer, and fre- quently Mr. Warren was revealed in letters to have been & spokesman for the American Sugar Refining Co. Then came the famous Northern Securities decision by the Supreme Court of the United States on the Sherman anti-trust law and Mr. War- ren admitted, as do other lawyers, that the evolution of the court's de- ciston indicated that it was unwise for a company like the American Sugar Refining Co. to appear to have control in certain other companles. Accordingly on Mr. Warren's advice, the “trust” reduced its holdings in the Michigan companies which had beer grouped under the name of Michigan Sugar Co. and of which Mr. Warren wus president It reduced them to about one-third of the stock. Mr. Warren contends that from 1906 on he was simply president of his sugar company and had no connection with the American Sugar Refining Co. Senator Cummins, who made the principal defense for Mr. Warren, in- sisted that Mr. Warren did what any lawyer would do in acting either as business agent or adviser in the acquisition of stock and tha reorgani- zation of companies. The opposing Senators declared that he went be- yond the bounds of a lawyer and actually aided the trust in a husiness way. Senator Cummins, &t the con- clusion of his address, of his own accord conceded that the only mis- take he thought Mr. Warren made was in allowing his stock to remain on the books of the American Sugar Refining Co. until as late as 1911, even though they were indorsed in blank to the so-called “trust.” Point Against Warren. The Senators fighting Mr. Warren made quite a point of this and Sen- ator Reed of Missouri sald he was afrald Mr. Warren, if confirmed as Attorney General, might forget to do other things and think he was still the counsel for the sugar trust, sev- eral years after he was supposed to have severed connections Senator Cummins pointed to the way co-operation by the farmers and consolidations of rallroads was being urged nowadays as revealing a dif- terence in the public attitude toward combinations, and sald that he be- lleved Mr. Warren an honest man and that was enough. The opposing Sen- ators said they were not questioning Mr. Warren's integrity, but his al- leged prejudices in favor of corpora- tions, and that Mr. Coolidge ought not name a man who had to make a de- fense of his connections with a “trust” which had been the subject of & successful suit by the Federal Government itself.

The more than 1,800 visiting physi- cians and surgeons who have been attending the convention of the American Congress of Internal Medi- cine In Washington this week were on the way back to their homes today, after what they agreed was one of the most instructive clinical meetings of the congress ever held. More than 500 clinfcs were held at varlous Washington hospitals during the five days of the convention, at which all phases of medical work were discussed. Several operations were performed, among them a rar operation, that for angina pectoris, {0 which Dr. Charles H. Franzoni, a Washington druggist and physician, submitted himself. The visiting doc- tors were shown the medical facili-| ties of the Capital and attended most of the clinics held in Washington hos- pitals Among the outstanding develop- ments of the last two years in surg- ery, and of particular adaptation to surgery in cancer cases, the radio knife is now regarded by many of the surgeons who attended the con- gress as having possibilities in & cure for that dread disease. Research into the possibilities of extensive use of the radio knife have not gone far enough to establish it @s an adjunct to positive cure of cancer. Indeed, it is at present declared to be but oné of several instruments which may as- sist in atopping cancerous growths But its demonstrations are said to have been convincing to many of the surgeons who attended the clinics. Uses Radio Tubes. The radio knife is an instrument actuated electrically through a cabi- net which bears the appearance of an ordinary radio set, and, in fact, uses ordinary radio tubes. In applying the knife, the surgeon merely draws it across the spot where the inclsion fs to be made, and by electrolysis, the tissue and skin fall apart and are automatically cauterized. Surgeons do not claim that cancer can be stopped by its use, but that cauteriza- tion of the area surrounding the in- cision takes place. Cancer may spread through the body back of the incision by the radio knife, but the cauterization feature is looked upon as an important step forward Some persons now in hospitals for mental observation are suffering from advanced cases of what medical pri titioners have called post-encephalitis, commonly called sleeping sickness, Dr. Samuel A.

Commissioner Macgonald not only holds an eminent position in this city becaflse of the manner in which he has conducted his office here, but be- cause of his active interest in local affairs. He let it be known several weeks ago that he would like to re- linquish the United States commis- slonership if the President saw fit to appoint him to one of the two new Po- lice Court judgeships There were a score or more aspir- ants, among local attorneys, for these two judgeships, several among them being colored men and two among them being women. The matter of considering these candidates was turned over to the Department of Justice by the White House, and after carefully considering the papers in the case of each candidate Hitt and Macdonald were the ones recommend- ed to the President by the depart- ment as being best qualified for the judgeships.

Roper, commis- sloner of .Internal Revenue in 1919, showing that the bureau had fixed the valuation of the stock as of March 1, 1913, at $9,89 per share.

COUNTESS FELICIA GIZYCKA WEDS AFTER ROMANTIC COURTSHIP Local Society Girl Met Husband at Party in Her Honor. News Sent to Her Mother at Home Here Causes No Surprise. A romance of a year culminated Thursday in the marriage in San Diego, Calif, of Countess Felicia Gizycka of this city and Drew Pear- son of Swarthmore, Pa. The news, but without detail, was wired to Countess Eleanor Gizycka, at 15 Du- pont circle, yesterday and She at once telegraphed felicitations, The wed.

She was born in Poland, her father it- oung that being Count Joseph Gizycki, and her | mother was married at 15 Dupont cir- cle, the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Robert W. Patterson. Before the death of her grandfather, Mr. Patter- son, he joined his daughter and her baby in Russia and brought them back to Washington with him.

Devised Financial Plan. While he did his share in represent- ing Yale on various athletic teams during his undergraduate days, Mr. Camp's greatest service to the uni- versity was performed afterward in his capacity as athletic adviser, which embraced a number of activ ties. He had been a member of the university athletic committee for 20 years and for a similar period was treasurer of the Yale Financial Union, which he founded Up to the time of the formation of the financial union each of the major sports was regarded as a sepa- rate organization, and the funds of each were kept separately. And in- variably there were annual deficits. Under Mr. Camp’s plan there was but a single financial sheet for the entire athletic body, which was brought under complete control of the uni- versity. Deficits of non-supporting teams began to decrease and the sur- pluses of productive athletics grew larger, with the result that there came an annual surplus in the general athletic fund. Tn 1900 Mr. Camp was eiected treasurer of the Yale Field Corpora- tion and as such was credited with having accumulated the money which formed the nucleus of the fund for the building of the Yale bowl. Selection Was Feature. Since 1889 a feature of each foot ball season has been Mr. Camp’s se- lection of All-American foot ball teams, the players thus selected for the mythical teams being regarded by him a3 the best of the season in their respective positions. While he was more interested in foot ball than any other sport, Mr. Camp was an all-round athlete at Yale. Mr. Camp was born at New Haven, Conn., April 17, 1859, the son of Leverett L. Camp and Ellen Cornwell Camp, He prepared for college at Hopkins Grammar School and was graduated from Yale in 1880. He then entered the Medical School, but resigned after two years to enter business with a clock concern in New York. After a year he went to the New Haven Clock Co. He was made treasurer and general manager of the concern in 1902, and a vear later be- came president and treasurer. After several years he relinquished the duties of those positions to become chairman of the board. Had Written Extensively.
