* FRATERNITY OPENS NEW FIGHT ON BAN Sigma Delta to File Another Suit to Test Board’s Right to Interfere. Another suit to test the legality of the rule of the Board of Education prohibiting membership of high school students in organizations it refuses to recognize will be filed in the District Supreme Court by Sigma Delta Fra- ternity, it was announced today b; sxecutive council of the society. Laskey, former United Stat torney for the District of Columb has been retained by the fraternity. ‘The impending legal battle over the board’s rule, the second this year, rep resentatives of Sigma Delta declare, will be carried, if necessary, to the United States Supreme Court. The first case taken into the courts in the Spring and Sigma Delta resulted in a decision that the hoard’s rule had nev- er been legally passed. Fight to Go On. Mr. Laskey represented several of the members of Sigma Dalta who sought last Spring to obtain writy of mandamus against the school hoard to reinstate them in the positions of hon- or in school activities, of which they had been deprived and which they had earned by virtue of their scholas- tic attainments and good records in deportment. The writs were refused on technical grounds. A special committee of Sigma Delta appointed at a meeting of the execu. tive council Monday and empowered with full authority to take all neces- sary steps for the purpose of thor- oughly testing the legality of the board’s rule in the courts, conferred vesterday with Mr. and de- cided to file another suit. Every pos- sible point which might be involved v the enactment of the board’s rule September 16 will be covered in the suit, it was said. Compromise Sought. Announcement of the contemplated action came as a prelude to the ference between Supt. of Schools “ ank W, Ballou and representatives of secret ‘socleties seeking recognition f the board, tonight, at the Franklin Lambda Sigma, a Central hool fraternity, which did not Sigma Delta in the first court is one of the organiza- tions which will send representatives to the conference. Hope had been voiced by school authorities that the fraternity row would be settled amicably at this meeting. A statement outlining Sigma Delta’s position regarding the board's rule was Isswed today by a member of the or- {zation's special committee, in con- nection with the announcement of the proposed legal action. It follows: Board’s Authority Denied. “The Sigma Delta F and never has been, school fraternity, as, while its membership comprises some high school students, yet many of its members are also stu- dents at private schools, and in some instances such members have never ended the public schools of this ty. In view of this the Sigma Delta ¥Fraternity has never sought, and will 2ever agree, to confer with the Board -aternity is not, ch could possibl trued as an admission on its part of the right of the Board of Education Qdire€ly or indirectly to interfere with lhe corduct of its affairs. “The traternity is convinced by the opinfon of its own counsel and that of the corperation counsel given to the Board of Iducation several years #g0, that there is no color of right in the sc’ ol authorities to assume any jurisdi ‘on over it “The neetings of this fr: held o1 Friday or Saturday nights at the homes of its members, and the rents of any members are welcome at any of its meetings. It has the slightest objection to inviting to eetin any of the administra- tive or teaching fore of the public Achool system, but it denles the right of any one to attend its meetings s its invited gues rnity are Continuing Plan. nination of the 1 f the Board of d on September 16, 19. Deita Fraternity is simply carry- ing out its original plans, and had it not been for the fact that those members who sought writs of manda- mus last Spring were advised by their counsel that it would be unwise to take an appeal from the decision denying them rellef on technicai grounds hecause by the time the ap- peal was heard the question would be a moot one, inasmuch as the school term, during which the petitioners had sought relief, had been termin- ated, such appeals would have been taken and the present contemplated litlgation would have been unneces- ary. “In the attempt of the Board of Education and of certain publle schbol officials to abolish high school fratern- ities, for reason never vet made pub- lic, a dragnet had been thrown out whereby the public school authorities are endeavoring to ascertain the names of all social organizations in which any high school student might be a member, or in which in the future he might become a member. That In its attempt to ascertain all social affiliation of high school stu- dents, the Board of Education has by its rules endeavored to place in the hands of the superintendent of schools authority to approve or dis- approve such organizations as the Boy Scouts of America, Camp Fire sirls, the Children of the American Revolution, the Junior Red Cross, the Hi-Y Club, the Order of the DeMolay, the Order of the Eastern Star, Job's Daughters and many other organiza- of milar character, which de in their ranks hundreds, pos- v even thousands, of high school students, ' Pledge Cards Hit. “In furtherance of this plan it has now included in the rules claimed to have been passed in June, 1921, a pledge card to be signed by the stu- dent, whereby any student who does not first notify the principal of the school which he or she attends of his or her intention to Join any assocla- tion, not already listed by such s*u- dents with the principal of the school; that even though a student should joln an ‘approved’ orgamization or soclety, such as the Boy Scouts, the Camp Fire Girls, etc., after signing such pledge, without first notifying the principal of his or her institution of his or her intention to join such organization, he or she would be in & position of violating the pledge given and would be subjected to any dls- cipline, no matter however severe, which the school officials might see fit to inflict. In several cases in tHe past such discipline has been inflicted in a very drastic manner. “When the right of the Board of Education to enforce its rules by re- quiring a pupil to give a list of the organizations to which he belonged and to sign the pledge which had been printed on the back of the card was questioned by a parent of one of the students in the Autumn of 1923, with an intimation that the card would not e signed, the Bowrd of Education, ap- parently anaticipating litigation, re- ferred the matter to the corporation counsel for an opinion. “This opinion was rendered on No- vember 6, 1923, and, among other things, unequivocally stated that while the Board of Education might under certain_conditions regulate activities of students in certain high school organizations, etc., vet that it could not legally control the membership of high school pupils in any organization, club or soclety whose membership was not directly connected with the attend- ance of the pupil upon the school, and suggested to the Board of Education that it might be well to advise pupils who were requested to sign the blanks containing the list of the organizations of which they were members and the pledge cards on the back thereof, that it was the purpose of the Board of Ed- ucation only to inquire into the mem- bership of the pupils in ‘school’ or- ganizations, associations, etc., and did not concern the membership of the pupll in any ‘non-school' organization or association, “Further, that the opinion in ques- ton distinctly warns the Board of > fon that there are dozens of anizatlons or assoclations, such as, ance, the Children’ of the 'n Ravolution, the Boy Scouts, the Camp Fire Girls, the membership of which is largely made up of public school pupils, and the activities of which are in nowise incidental to the attendance upon the schools of their members or in any matter con- cern the scholarship of their pupil members, and that the Board of Ldu- cation, of course, have no jurisdic- tlon whatever over any such club, sociation or organization. Rule Disregarded. “In the face of this opinion, ren- dered in November of 1923, the Board of Education has continued to as- ume control, not only over the or- ganizations specifically mentioned, but over similar organizations, and that, so far as I have been able to learn, no instructions have been civen to the principal of any high school, or by the pringipal of any high school to any pupil, as to exactly what juris- diction the Board of Education claimed. In other words, the pupils wnd their parents have for practicall two years been called upon to sizn cards and pledges which the Board of Education had been advised by its own counsel it had no right to exact. “I am of the opinion and firm con- viction that this rule is simply an entering wedge for the nationalization of school children, and that if the pupils and parents were fully advised as to what the real intent, purpose and result of the rule were, not 10 per cent of them would sign the cards until the powers of the board have been legally determined by the court of last resort, based upon cases in- volving the merits of the case, so far as they relate to the powers of the Board of Education, and not any technicalitles. Will Abide By Decisfon. “Should the court of last resort to which the Sigma Delta Fraternity can appeal finally decide that the Board of Education has the authority to assume the posgion of parents and control the life of the high school student, not only while in attendance upon the school but in his own home, the Sigma Delta Fraternity will, of course, abide by the law as finally latd down, and frame its future poli- cles accordingly. “If the courts finally detefmine that such right exists in the Board of Education, it then certainly behooves the parents of students of the public school system of the District of Co- lumbia to secure legislation from Congress which will prohibit any of its creatures from establishing in the Capital of the Nation a form of pa- rnalism which cannot fall to have effect throughout the whole coun- try If allowed to exist. “It is not only for the purpose of protecting the members of the Sigma Delta Fraternity against the infring. ment of any of their rights that these suits will be brought, as only a few persons. comparatively speaking, will be affected thereby, but it is also and primarily for the purpose of prevent- ing the usurpation of the rights of all high school students and their parents. BRAINSTORM PLEA OFFERED BY COLE Cotton Mill Man Killed Daughter’s Ex-Suitor While Insane, Attorneys Say. By the Associated Press. ROCKINGHAM, N. C,, October 1.— Self-defense and transitory insanity is the plea of W. B. Cole, wealthy cotton manufacturer, who last Au- gust 15 shot and killed W. W. Or- mond, formerly a suitor for his daughter’s hand. A. L. Brooks announced the plans of the defense after the State rested its case against Cole at 11:24 o'clock. Four witnesses had been called. The State immediately entered re- sistance to the plea of insanity and the jury was excused while the court heard arguments of counsel. 45,845 DELINQUENT. Number of Non-Payers of Special and Income Taxes. August operations of internal reve- nue collectors throughout the coun- try resulted in the discovery of 45, 845 tax delinquencles, it was an- nounced today by the Internal Reve- nue Bureau, which reported that of the total more than 23,000 never had paid taxes before. It segregated them as 14,142 who had falled to pay some of the many special taxes, while the remainder were delinquent in income taxes. Commissioner Blair stated, however, that the work thus done was not the result of any special drive, but a con- tinuing function of the bureau and that he anticipated further returns to the Treasury, which have been averaging about $4,500,000 a month from this source.

OCTOBER 1. 192 TURKEY MOBILIZES, BRITAIN ALSD AGTS Augmenting of English Fleet in East Explained as Coincidence. By the Associated Pres CONSTANTINOF October 1.— Four classes of recrults, ranging fro the ages of 22 to 25 years, have been called to the colors. The officers of the first and second reserves are to undergo medical examination. The reason for the mobllization of the Turkish recruits s problematic. So far as is known Turkey is at peace with all her adjacent neighbors. The country’s outstanding dispute at the present {s with Great Britain over the Mosul reglon at Mesopotamia. Great Britain claims that the terri- | tory should be given to the Kingdom of Irak. Turkey protested this, and the question recently was submitted to The Hague Court for adjudication. Fear that the tense situation might result in a clash at arms between Turkey and Great Britain frequently has been volced both in London and Geneva, and especially since the coun- cil of the League of Nations on Sep- tember 9 passed certaln points involved in the dispute to The Hague Court, thereby delaying a settlement for at least three months. BRITISH FLEET GATHER: Strong Force to Be Kept in.Near East for Few Weeks. LONDON, October 1 (#).—Strong British naval forces will be malin- tained in Near Eastern waters during the next few weeks, under amended orders Issued by the admiralty to the Mediterranean fleet. Under the new Instructions the third battle squadron, the third cruiser squadron and the first and third de- stroyer flotillas will concentrate in Suda Bay. Crete, on October 8, to re- main o week. After their departure for Malta the battleship Queen Elizabeth will arrive at Suda Bay, and she in turn will leave for Malta October 20. The report from Constantinople that the Turks are calling further troops to the colors and the announcement in London that the British will main- tain a strong fleet in Near Eastern waters for the next few weeks are explained in British officlal quarters as being merely a coincidence and as having no significance. As far as the fleet is concerned it is only engaging in maneuvers, the officials say. ——————y FRENCH MISCONSTRUED REMARK BY MELLON; THOUGHT OFFER TAKEN (Continued from First Page.) graduated that they will mean more in present-day values. If M. Caillaux | offered $40,000,000 for five years and $60,000.000 ‘for seven years and then amortized the $580,000,000 deferred payment by paying off $12,000,000 an- nually, thus making the average an- nual payments by the French a total of $112,000,000 his proposition would be more acceptable. Differences of Opinion. To understand the situation clearly it must be first stated positively that the American commission has been unanimous on the rejection of French offers thus far, but there have been differences of opinion on what ulti- mately should be accepted. Senator Smoot of Utah has been notified by Senator Borah, chairman of the Senate’s foreign relations committee, just how far the latter thinks Amer- ica should go, and Mr. Smoot has told his colleagues on the commission just what his difficulties are going to ‘be In Congress if the proposed settle ment involves too many concessions. The expectation today was that both sides would state their position in a statement to the public and retire to consider further modifications at the | Angelo Snyder of ! Bpot quietly ran forward and gave a later date, especially since the French Parliament must act before the proposal can be considered adopted from the French viewpolnt. Safeguard for France. Two things are calculated to allay French criticlsm. One 18 the safe- guard clause, whereby it is agreed that if French capacity to pay is al- tered, the Americans agree to a re- consideration of the payments to be made. No specific mention in the text is made of German reparations or any other factor in France's ca- pacity to pay. Putting this in writ- ing promises no more than the Ameri- can Government would be obliged to do if there were no definite agreement to that effect. If France couldn’t pay, America would know it and give her debtor easier terms of payment. Can Defer Payments. The other clause which pleases the French is that referring to a mora. torlum on any' payments after the first five years have passed. The French can defer any annual payment for three years, but they must pay interest thereon. The rate probably wlll be the same as that in the Belgian ‘| agreement, though the Belgians were given only two years within which to pay deferred payments. The French had hoped to clear up the negotlations by tonight so as to have an opportunity to confer with private bankers in New York tomor- row_prior to salling early Saturday for France.

He also emitted a little bark for emphasis, Mr. Turner ran to his doctor and ascertained that his wound was not serious. However, he swore out a warrant accusing Sergt. Snyder of having “a vicious dog at large.” In Police Court today Sergt. Snyder defended his dog, saying that the dog was always friendly and affectionate, Jexcept when teased. His counsel, Harry Whalen, then told the court that the dog could not be classed as “at large” when, he was in his own tront yard.

A determination to proceed with this program under the authority of the Board as an independent office of the Government was voted by Com- missioners Plummer, Benson, Haney and Thompson Tuesday in_directing the letter to be sent the President.

There had been intimations vester- day that the security clause demanded | by the French had practically been | conceded by the Americans, but after the swiftly moving events of late yes- terday and the White House call this | morning by the Americans there was {no doubt but that the security clause, at least as embodled in the last French | proposal, had been thrown Into the | discard. There was much running in and out of the meetings yesterday between the subcommittees of the French and American bodies. The sessions ves- terday started with the meeting of the American commission as a whole about 10 o'clock. Promptly at noon a sub- committee of the American commis- sion, consisting of Secretaries Mellon and Hoover, 8enator Smoot and Repre- sentative Crisp, met a committee of similar size from the French commis- sion, headed by M. Calllaux. After about an hour in conference they ad- Journed for lunch. Security Is Discussed. At 3:12 o'clock the two subcommit- tees reconvened. At 3:30 the French Jeft the conference rooms and went by way of Secretary Mellon's waiting room to Secretary Mellon's private of- fice nearby. Several minutes later they went back with the Americans again, and at 4 minutes after 4 o'clock they departed for the afternoon. It was some time later before the Americans adjourned. Exactly what happened during these sessions has not come to light, but it was intimated that the security clause had been seriously discussed and that there had been much talk over the whole French offer. ‘When the Americans finally emerged one member of the commission an- nounced that the subcommittee had been authorized to call on President Coolidge this morning, but when pressed for an explanation from an observer who thought at that time that perhaps the agreement had been tentatively reached and was to be sub- mitted to the President for his ap- proval, there was no definite enlight- enment forthcoming. Hopeful Impression Given. The cryptic answer was given that this would be in accordance with gen- eral procedure for the group to call on the President. This was inter- preted at the time in the absence of any information to the contrary that perhaps the agreement to all intents and purposes had been closed. Later in the evening, at the French em- bassy, a spokesman for the French, who was not M. Caillaux, gave out a hopeful impression which was inter- preted by various attendants at the conference. The terms of the French offer were revealed by this spokesman. The position taken by the American commission rejecting France's offer was interpreted as having the entire approval of President Coolidge, as the Americans had seen him but a few. minutes before it was iasued. What the President said to the com- missioners was guarded by all ap- proached, but it is known that the Chief Executive has not only been in conference with his debt commis- sion, but with members of Congress outside the commission who have been giving him their views in no uncer- tain terms. The active interest of Senator Borah, chairman of the Sen- ate committee on foreign relations, in the French debt parley looms over the negotiations as an indicator of the power of Congress, which is constant- ly being kept in mind by the Amer- ican commission.

His commission, fairly representa tive of all phases of French political thought, is entirely advisory. On the other hand, however, the American commission’ is constituted by Congress, under special legisla- tion, and acts as a body, with power resting upon the whole group. M. Calllaux, an able public leader, had brought these various elements of his natlon’s political life to Wash- ington with what has been described as evidence of sound judgment, as he has on the spot here spokesmen for the group he must face on his return to Paris. He i{s known to have kept in close touch with all these elements in his commission. Both an astute and fearless leader in French political life, it was believed today that M. Calllaux was casting about to the best of his ability as a statesman of years of experience to decide which course he best could follow for the meeting this afternoon at 3 o’clock. There was much conjecture as to whether he would have the courage to go further than his offer of yes- terday and risk repudiation at the hands of his compatriots. Americans Determined. The American commission seems as convinced, on the other hand, that France can and should pay more than Calllaux has offered. Personally, al- thodgh the American commissioners were able to smile this morning, there was very apparent a spirit of grim determination. Whether the Amer- icans will continue this spirit to the point of falling to negotiate was a moot question today. Calllaux, it is known, is earnestly intent upon reaching a successful con- clusion if possible, but there have been enough indications to show that Caillaux could break off negotiations here and go back home without an agreement, and recelve more praise than blame from his people.
