An attack on the authenticity of the label attached to the Langley fly- ing machine now hanging in the Smithsonian _Institution here was made I <ht by the National Aero- nautic ciation, the organization promoting civil aviation in the United | States, but was met with silence by Dr. Charles D. Walcott, secretary of the institution, and who, about a week ago, engaged in a_controversy over the plane with Orville Wright, the in- ventor. Godfrey L. Cabot, president of the association, declared today the state- ment issued by the aeronautical body embodied his views and those of other officials. He said he could not predict any action against the label, which was “based on conjecture and not on actual performance,” but intimated that the most the: association could do would be to call a meeting of the board of governors and petition the institution to change it. Machine Wrecked Is Claim. The Langley machine, the Aeronau- tic Association declared, was wrecked in launching, and, therefore, the pre: ent model should be labeled *Langley flying machine rebuilt in 1914 after the original design in 1903 and flown with at Hammondsport, Smithsonian Ipstitution is not the ma- chine invented. built and tested over the Potomac River in 1903, and is not the machine successfully flown at Hammondsport, N. Y., June 2, 1914,” the statement continued. ‘“The origi- nal machine was wrecked in launch- ing, therefore, the application of the word ‘man carrying’ to this model is based on conjecture and not on actual performance. It has no skids, nor wheels, nor attachments for throwing it into the air with a catapult, as was done with the original machine in 1903.” Issue Raised by Orville Wright. The controversy over the plane was precipitated by Orville Wright, when he announced he would give the first Wright plane to a British museum because the Langley plane intrusted to the care of the Smithsonian had been “mutilated.” Dr. Walcott Vi orously denied this charge. The as sociation, however, expressed regret that the Wright plane will go to Eng- land. “It will be of interest to the general public_briefly to review cer- tain matters that may have contrib- uted to this decision, but which Mr. Wright's modesty and retiring nature restrain him from fully explaining,” the statement declared. The only interest Dr. Walcott ex- hibited in the statement today Wwas to inquire whom ‘“the people were that got it out.” WORLD COURT DIVORCE FROM LEAGUE IS ASKED BY BORAH FOR SUPPORT (Continued from First Page.) peace, in the interest of order and law in international affairs, that this court function under a body of international law and absolutely free from the dom- ination or direction of international political institutions. It is wholly im- material to me from what source the court comes if it meets in any sense the test of a court.” Calls for Changes. Senator Borah said that the pro- posed reservations by this Govern- ment to accompany America’s adher- ence to the World Court were in- effectual. There must be changes in the statute creating the court, he said. “It is claimed,” the Senator said, “that we are ing the nations which adhere to this court, accepted it, to discard it entirely and assume the task of building a wholly new court. We are doing nothing of the kind. ‘We are asking for certain changes in the statute, changes which can easily be brought about, if an independent judicial tribunal is wanted. We are asking far less, when considered as an exertion of legislative power or of treaty-making power, than Mr. Bal- four asked for and secured when the statute reached him from the hands of Mr. Root and his committee. He did not think a certain section of the statute was well for the British em- pire, and, without leave of or concern about what the United States would do, he took it out, or caused it to be taken out. He was far too shrewd, and, may I say without offense, far too faithful to his country, to be con- tent with a reservation—a Teservation which he perfectly understood the court itself would construe. Explanation Is Disputed. “The fundamental objection to this court as it now exists is the right, or authority, which the League of Na- tiohs is given to call upon the court for advice or counsel and to treat it in a large measure as a department of justice of the league. It is comon- ly asserted that such advice or coun- sel as the league may call for can re- late only and alone to legal questions. If this were true, the objections would still be controlling. But I maintain The language of the covenant of the league is not that of an advisory opinion upon‘a legal question, but the language is to the effect that the council or assem- tly of the league may refer to the court for its opinion ‘any dispute or question.’” This provision in the cov- enant of the league has been incor- porated in effect as the court itself has determined in the statute creating the court. It is now regarded as a part of the statute under which the court operates. Under this language any dispute or any question, legal, po- litical or mixed, may be urged upon the court and upon it the court may be asked for advice or counsel. If you go over the questions already re- ferred to the court, you will see that some of them are far more political than legal. Praise for Attitude. “I want to say here that I think the court thus far has done well in resisting some of the questions put up to it. But another court may seize them for consideration. It is in the nature of courts, as all other govern- mental institutions, to reach for juris- diction and power. And secondly, no court should be called upon to resist such pressure. No political body should be permitted for a single in- stance to be in a_position to call for such action upon the part of the court. It distinctly makes the court a part of the league. It will in time become in practice a legal department of the league. Indeed, it has already to a marked extent become so. “Since the League of Nations cove- nant was adopted it has been found quite unsatisfactory to the members of the league. It didn’t seem to work. So they have proposed drastic amend- ments to the League of Nations cove- nant. These amendments have al- ready been accepted by forty-odd na- tions. The amendments may, or may not, become permanently a part of the league covenant. But whether they do or not, they disclose plainly how the members of the league regard this court and what they think of its duties and functions. They regard it as distinctly a department of the league to be changed, added to and over- hauled at their discretion. It never seemingly occurs to them that this is an independent judicial body, exempt from political views and opinions, and authorized to pass only and alone upon controverties arising under the law. Subject to Council. “Among other things provided for in these amendments is that the coun- cil of the league may call upon this court to advise each arbitration com- mittee which may be organized, and the amendment expressly provides that when the council calls upon the court, if it is not in session, it ‘shall meet with the utmost possible dis- patch.’ This is the tribunal which is not a league court. Here is a supposedly. great, independent, dignified, international court, subject he call of a political council. to arbitration com- and_if the arbitration com- mittee sees fit to do so, it may wholly reject the advice. These committees may be arbitrating about any possible question of dispute, political or other- wise, arising in Europe. Tt does seem to me that it is a little bit extraordi- nary that a_Permanent Court of In- ternational Justice shall be required to counsel and advise with a tempo- rary arbitration committee. Again, under these amendments the court may be requested to give advice, or an opinion, as to whether or not a particular question is a domestic ques- ti ow this same proposition upon which the court is called upon to give advice may also be determined by the council of the league. The political body, the council of the league, and the judicial body have co-ofdinate jurisdiction in regard to this subject, except that the political council may override the judical council. I assert that the court here becomes nothing but an attorney, and subordinated to political power. Its opinfons are merely taken for what they are worth to be rejected either by the temporary arbitration committee or the council. These amendments also provide that any question as to the power of the league shall be determined by the Court of International Justice. Similarity Is 'Seen. . “I ask you in_all candor: What is the difference. between our - sitting upon the council of the League of Natlons advising and counseling with reference o these matters which come up before the arbitration com- mittees and as to the power of .the league under the covenant. and our sitting upon the court and advising these _arbitration committees and counseling with reference to the pow- ers of the league under the covenant? “If these amendments are accepted and become a permanent part of the league, then 10 men, constituting the council of the league, are given the authority and right to determine ab- solutely ‘the question of peace:or war. This tremendous power of peace or war is delegated to 10 men. These 10 men, as the council, may declare what war is a righteous war and what war is unrighteous, what war is a war of aggression and what war is not a war of aggression. But more suprising still is the authority given to these men to continue the war. The war once begun, under the authority of the league, cannot end until these same 10 men declare that it.may end. Let me quote you the language: ‘“The council shall alone be competent to declare that the application of sanc- tion shall cease and moral conditions be re-established.” This is the most ambitious effort to create a military autocracy of which I have any knowl- edge. But this is the institution, and this is the organization which the court is, at the request of the organi- zation, to counsel and advise, and which we would be counseling and ad- vising as members of thé court. It would bring us as thoroughly and as effectively into all the affairs of Eu- rope and make us as much a part of their turmoil and their strife as if we ‘were members of the league.® Indeed, if we are to be advisers and coun- selors of the league, I would prefer to LS a member in the hope that we iew at the annual baby show of the Florence Crittenton Home, 1220 F street. NEW 0L INGURY 5 STARTEDHER Additional Grand Jury Seeks Facts Regarding Charges Against A. B. Fall. The new grand jury inquiry into the oil scandal gqt under way today when Atlee Pomerene and Owen J. Roberts, special counsel in the oil prosecutions, appeared before the ad- ditional grand jury which was com- pleted and sworn yesterday following the selection by Justice Siddons of Harry C. Stewart, cashier of the Na- tional Capital Bank, as foreman. The court warned the grand jury not to permit the presence of any unauthor- ized counsel or other person in the grand jury room. The special counsel for the Gov- ernment took no chances this time and did not even ask United States Attorney Gordon to assist them in presenting the case to the grand jury. While the opinion of Chief Justice Mc- y sustained the right of the United States attorney to be present in the grand jury room it excluded all per- sons connected with the Department of Justice and threw out the former indictments because of the presence of Oliver Pagan, special assistant Attorney General, in the grand jury room during the taking of evidence.

URGES CONCERTED PLAN FOR COMBATING CRIME New York Police Head Addresses Convention of Chiefs From 500 Cities. By tho Assoctated Press. NEW YORK, May 12.—Calling for world-wide co-operation in fighting crime, Police Commissioner Richard E. Enright, president of the Interna- tional Police Conference, in an ad- dress today at the opening session of the third biennial convention, urged that nations “forget their mutual rivalries in a fight on a common enemy.” Representatives of the police de- partments of every civilized country in the world and of the larger cities in the United States and Canada were present. They numbered about 500. Tracing the steady growth and in- fluence of the conference, Commis- sioner Enright asserted that the police problems’ no longer are "con- fined to individual cities and coun- tries, but are world-wide in their scope. B — might exercise some influence at the source. With regard to proposed ‘“reserva- tions” to American adherence to the World Court, Senator Borah said: “Reservations always seemed to me like a bit of political expediency—an apology of those who think that it is perhaps unwise to go in and perhaps impolite to stay out. “My friends, we are engaged in building a great international judicial tribunal, which we hope will be of great service in the cause of peace. ‘Why should we hesitate to insist upon those things which will make it effec- tive? Why should we attach condi- tions and reservations? It must be that we are doing so because we think, as the court now stands, it would be unsafe for this country to become a member of it. Let's make it safe, build upon sound principles, so we can go in without any misgivings muit give to it our wholehearted sup- port.” OFFICERS ARE CHOSEN. Rev. J. C.

BOSTON, May 12 (A.P.).—The re- sult of a mail ballot for officers of the Unitarian Ministerial Union was an- nounced at the annual meeting of that body yesterday. Rev. James C. Dun- can of Clifton was re-elected presi- dent. The union also adopted reso- lutions favoring an aggressive preach- ing campaign of Unitarianism through- out the country and advocating active measures to have all Unitarian confer- ences arrange for preaching missions in the Autumn of 1925.

DODGE SALE ERROR ENRICHES NATION $6,000,000 More :Taxes. Due ' Because of Secrecy, Of- ficial Asserts. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, May 12.—An error in business procedure on: the part of the agents who negotiated ‘the re- cent sale of the Dodge: Brothers auto- motive ‘property to a_group of bank- ers headed by Dillon, Read & Co. will result in atditional revenue of $6,000,- 000 in taxes to the Treasury Départ- ment, making a total $12,000,000 in all on the sale of the property, accord- ing to Fred L. Woodworth, United States internal revenue collector at Detroit. =~ Mr. Woodworth i3 in New York on a.visit and made the state- ment when asked what the probable tax on'the Dodge Brothers sale would be, the sale price having been $146,- 000,000. Asked what error could have been made, Mr. Woodworth said that the agents .handling the sale failed to consult their tax attorneys until ne- gotlations had gone too far to enable the proceedings of the sale to be changed. The board of directors of Dodge Brothers should have called a meeting and carried a motion to dl- vide the assets among the stockhold- ers and discontinue the corporation, Mr. Woodworth sald. Then the stockholders could have negotiated the sale of the property themselves, a non-taxable proceeding, leaving the only tax that could have been levied that on the helrs. “This was not done,” Mr. Wood- worth said, “and the corporation sold the assets. The corporation will now have to pay a tax as a corporation, and the Dodge heirs will have to pay. an equal sum as tax, the amount being divided pro-rata between them. The total tax will be about $12,000,000. The tax attorneys were not aware of the nature of the negotiations for the sale until it was too date to make any change, and, as a result, the Treasury Department’ will be $6,000,000 the richer. “The error probably occurred be- cause of an effort to keep the entire transaction a secret, no one being con- sulted until matters had gone so far that they became more or less public property. The nature of the error was known to_those negotiating the sale by them, but too late for them to do anything about it.” Officials of Dillon, Read & Co., who purchased the Dodge property, would not comment on the tax phase of the deal. They sald that the tax prob- iem had been settled at the time of the purchase, and that it involved the old Dodge corporation and the Dodge heirs rather than the new corporation. $40,000,000 A YEAR BOOTLEG BUSINESS SMASHED BY FLEET (Continued from First Page.) in Southern California waters, is hav- ing a difficult time, the Tamaroa re- ports, because it has to dispose of its cargo on a cash basis, and few of the fast launches that bring the liquor ashore carry sufficlent money to buy more than a case at a time through fear of “hijackers.” Coast Guard officers say they cannot hope to cope with the situation until they get more and faster boats. CANADA CO-OPERATES Customs Officials Put One 6,000-Case Boat Out of Game. VICTORIA, British Columbia, May 12.—Customs officers here declared to- day that their seizure of the schooner Lirio de Agua indicated that rum-run- ning by boat from British Columbia to American points had ended. The Lirio departed from Vancouver January 22, with 6,000 cases of whis- ky. The liquor was manifested to San Jose, Costa Rica. The seizure when the boat reached Victoria on her re- turri was reported for “contravention of the customs regulations and in- fringement of the customs act.” NORFOLK “IMPASSABLE.” Officials Assert Rum Can’t Be Landed In Virginia Waters. NORFOLK, May Coast Guard “an impassable blockade” off the Vir- ginia Capes, it was declared in official circles here, to prevent the entrance of any rum-aden ship into Virginia waters. The Norfolk Coast Guard division for three months has maintained a blockade off the capes, but since the rum fleet was driven from New Jersey shores the Government fleet operating off the coast has been more than doubled. As a result it is practically impossible for any craft to enter the Virginia Capes without passing un- der the watchful eye of lookouts. Coast Guard officials here denied re- ports that whisky is being landed on the Virginia shores. TO BUILD BIGGER CHASERS. 12.—Twenty-six Coast Guard Prepares for Construc- tion of 72-foot Craft.

I’comar. Wheeler on Flagship of Rum’ Row Enemy. Comdr. ' W. J. Wheeler of this city, sandy-haired, medium height, season- éd veteran of the World War, has been named fleet commander;of the Gov- ernment’s dry armada blockading the rnm fleet, and is now aboard the flag- snip Mojave, off New York, directiag maneuvers. This was revealed at Coast Guard headquartets in an officlal - bul- letin, which also disclosed Govern- ment plans for enlarging the dry fleet by at least three new 100-foot all- steel patrol boats, not before, under contemplation. These developments came as the ‘war between smugglers and the Coast Guard settled down ito an even more bitter slege, with the well known'rum fleet desperately making efforts to contact with shore off New York, with some of the ships scudding off either to sea or to new points of -vantage and with reports from Chesapeake Bay that every effort was being made fo put a complete stop to the opera- tions of a few liquor schooners there. Comdr. Wheeler sat in the original conference at Coast Guard headquar- ters here with Rear Admiral Billard, the admiral’s aide; Lieut. Comdr. S. S.| Yeandle and Capt. W, E. V. Jacobs, commandant of the New York dis- trict, when it was decided to lay slege t% rum row with the “pacific block- ade.” The fleet, under /Comdr.’ Wheeler, according to the official bulletin to- day, is designated a “special patrol force” and consists of the cutters Mo- jave, the flagship; Acushnet, Gresham, Manhattan, Ossipee, Redwing, Semi- nole, Senaca, Tallapoosa and Yama- craw. About 50 additional smaller boats, under command of Capt. Jacobs, have been sent out to co-operate with the larger ships. Comdr. Wheeler during the World War was in command of the Senaca, on patrol duty in European waters, and was commended in officlal dis- patches from the British admiralty for the gallant manner in which he handled a convoy after attack by Ger- man submarines. The three additional 100-foot, all-steel patrol boats which are to be added to the dry forces, it was revealed today, are being buflt from money which has been saved out of the lump sum which Congress appropriated for the Coast Guard to -build boats. It was at first thought that only about 10 Lettuce, sweet pickle, pimento. of the largest-100-foot, all-steel Diesel engines patrol boats could be con- structed under the ‘money at hand, but so efficlently was thy Jump sum handled, it was said today the Coast Guard today advertised for bids to be opened May' 19, for the:construction of “not more than' three” of these boat: Ten of them are now under construction,somewhere in the United States, and may beidlipped into the water against the “enemy” at almost any time, sl e UNIQUE_OFFICIAL DIES.
