| COOLIDGE FRIENDLY (T0 LEAGUE'S CAUSE United States Is Showing In- | terest in Proceedings of L Geneva Conference. ¥ 4 BY DAVID LAWRENCE. SWAMPSCOTT, Mass., July 15.— g"rssldem Coolidge exhibits the friend- iest feeling for the League of Na- tions, even though it is a settled pol- ey with him that the United States Kha)l not become a member. Mr. Coolidge's manifestations of « Sriendship for the cause of interna- tional co-operation as exemplified by the le: particularly with refer- ence to Europe, have come to the sur- face from time to time, but not so yointedly as in the last 24 hour: when asked to comment on the sug- gestions of Nicholas Murray Butler, (president of Columbia University. ‘After a visit to Geneva Dr. Butler e pressed the opinion that the Ameri- can minister at Bern should be au- thorized to attend the sessions of the league, so that America might be kept closely informed. At first it was reported that Dr. Butler had proposed that a special representative be sent to Geneva, but the President thinks this unnecessary Jt appears, however, that Dr. Butler Yyeferred especially to the use of exist- ing diplomatic machinery, so as to en- #ble the United States to be on the in ®ide of conferences at Geneva Visits League Occasionally. The situation at present is that the American Minister to Switzerland stays at the legation at Bern and wnly goes to Geneva, the seat of the Yeague, fonally, and when espe. cially ordered to do so by the Depart ment of State. It is not yet clear wWhether the American Minister could yegard the Geneva institution as a ' part of his regular duties in Switzes Jand and go there even without special instruction from Washington. This is really what it is supposed here that Dr. Butler is recommend ing. President Coolidge is represent- ¢ ©das feeling that this might be a wise course, especially since at present the United States gets its information second and third hand, but he is not prepared to urge a change in policy unles it should become apparent that the interests of the United States @re suffering by the present method. Mr. Coolidge let it be known that Dr. Butler would probably be sur- prised if he could examine the records in Washington and see how much in: formation about the league has really ‘been transmitted there by the Amers can Minister to Switzerland and by the league itself, which keeps up a constant correspondence on all sorts of questions with the various govern- ments of the world, non-members of the league as well as members. Interested in League. a time when, + ©of the hostility in the Department of State plgeonholed many communications from the league for fear of being criticized for ‘‘recog: nizing” the league. That stage passed, however, with the decision of Secretary Hughes to regard the com- munications from the league as worthy of courteous attention, and also with the sending by the United States of delegates to the opfum con- ference and other gatherings called by the League of Nations to discuss humanitarian problems. Slowly the American Government has been getting closer to the wark- ings of the league, a policy which is really the outgrowth of the ‘“‘unof- ficial observer” plan evolved early in the Harding administration. Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler is, in fact, urging a more comprehensive contact between the United States and the league for information and guidance, because in a place where * so many governments are represented an extraordinary picture of what is going on with respect to international co-operation can be obtained. Mr Coolidge feels that the matters of public interest handled by the league will receive the attention of the press and therefore indirectly come to the American Government. Time was when the league officials complained that American news agencies gave Geneva scant attention, but this, too, has changed, with the decision of leading American press associations to keep resident correspondents in Genev. ~ So far as President Coolidge is con- cerned, it is accurate to say that he wants all _the information for the American Government about what is being done in Geneva or elsewhere to promote peace among the nations of the world, and if the United States is not getting enough data on what is being accomplished at Geneva, he will ask the Secretary of State to recom. mend steps that will achieve that ob- jeet There was on account Senate, the yright. 1 MT.

By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, July 15.—Counsel in the million-dollar McClintock will case sat dumbfounded in Probate Court today as James Hamilton Lewis, former United States Senator from Illinois, unexpectedly took a hand in proceed- ings while preserving the anonymity of his client. M:. Lewls, termed by other counsel in the case “counsel for the mysterious Mr. X,” said that as the person he represented was in a peoulfar position and might have to file separate pro- ceedings in another court, he could not file an appearance in Probate Cofirt. Then he urbanely suggested that he be allowed to speak as an asso- clate of lawyers already before the court. Court and counsel remained silent and he proceeded without pause to warn the court against be- coming “an instrument of fraud” by admitting to probate the purported will of William Nelson McClintock offered by William Darling Shepherd, the principal beneficiary. Counsel for the contesting cousins of the deceased said they were taken completely by surprise by Mr. Lewis’ intervention. A decision was not reached. D. C, INSPECT 500 FACTORIES.
