Two Denied Right to EvictI Tenants Despite Pact Ban- ning Discrimination. BY PAUL SCOTT MOWRER. By Cable to The Star and Chicago Daily News. Copyright. 1926. PARIS, November 27.—Two recent decisions of French courts discrim- inating against American property owners in France contravene Ameri- can treaty rights, in the opinion of American representatives here. By the consular convention of 1853, France and the United States agreed not to discriminate in the wmatter of property between their own nationals and nationals of the other. J ‘“the French Parliament recently adopted a law giving French proprie- tors the right to evict tenants when they desire themselves to inhabi¢ a house or flat which they own, but re- fusing this right to foreigners. Under this law a foreigner in France, who buys a house cannot put the tenant out under any circumstances until the tenant is willing to go, and cannot increase the present rent. According to the American view- point, this law contravenes the treaty and does not apply to Americans. Nevertheless, in two cases, the French courts have held the treaty inapplica- ble and rejected the pleas of Ameri- can owners for authority to occupy their houses. The tenants’ lawyers in both cases made violent anti-American speeches. Even the court’s decislons mention france’s post-war plight and the fact that the franc has depreciated, whereas the dollar is at par—consid- erations which obviously have noth- ing_to do with law. The Ame n State Department notified the French government some time ago that it could mot accept de- cisions contravening the treaty. The embassy here has informed Washing- on of the recent decisions. It is said, however, that nothing can be done to protect American rights until the cases have been appealed and a decision has beea reached by he highest French courts. At the present rate of procedure this may { take years. . |EMULATE ELEPHANT’S POISE, SAYS LECTURER Declares Longevity Is Due to Slow Breathing and Urges “Whole- some Indifference.” By the Associated Press.

DETROIT, November 27.—Federal prohibition agents, seeking to stem the flow of liquor across the border into Detroit, are swapping lead with rum runners and are anticipating livelier skirmishes as colder weather takes pleasure craft from the river. Discussing activities of his men and rum runners on the river, Col. A. J. Hanlon, in charge of the border patrol, said today: “‘Some of the shooting by our men has been in the nature of signals to their comrades; etimes they have shot across the of a rum runner to bring him to a stop. Sometimes they have rhot in self-defense. We have the right to shoot only in self- defense, but also to enforce the law.” Members of the border patrol force, he said, are directed to identify them- selves as Federal agents before shoot- ing. This procedure, he said, usually has brought vicious taunts from the rum runners. On three occasions during the last week shots have been exchanged be- tween the patrol and suspected rum runners. In one instance, Col. Han- lon said, the agemts withdrew under fire from shore without retaliating because of the danger of hitting wom- en and children near the bootleggers. Charges that agents were firing in- discriminately early last Summer brought protests from citizens on the river in pleasure craft. With these craft off the river, Col. Hanlon pointed out, there will be few if any mis- '61kes in shooting by the Federal of- cers, - REHABILITATION BOARD 70 TOUR LAND IN SOUTH Advisory Committee Will Visit Several States in Survey of Neglected Areas.

Open for Inspection Walter Vaughn BUILDER—OWNER N. 5431 PROFESSOR URGES ALPHABET CHANGE Holds Saving of $1,000,000,- 000 Yearly Would Follow Simplification of Spelling. By the Associated Press. PHILADELPHIA, November 27.— Revision of the alphabét would save the Nation $1,000,000,000 a year, Dr. Godfrey Dewey, Harvard University professor, told delegates to the English Language Congress today. Dr. Dewey followed his announce- ment of the saving to be effected by a new gystem of letters with a concrete scheme for putting it into effect. The new system, considerably in excess of 26 letters, would include 24 conson- ants, 13 vowels, four diphthongs and & sign for the word “the,” which in it- self takes up 7 per cent of all the words in the printed page, he sald. Under the new system lone words would be spelled with as few letters such as “through” being expressed in three symbols. Millions of tons less of print paper would be needed, it was saild, and huge sums would be saved in type composition. Plans for phonetic spelling, de- signed to shorten words, had been of- fered earlier in the meeting. Dr. Dewey's plan provided for no change in spelling with the present letters, but suggested that the type designers be called in to remodel the entire alphabet. Another plan for making the lan- guage more understandable, offered by Dr. Hahn Kurath of Northwestern University, recognized’ the difference of pronunciation in the Eastern, Western and Southern sections of the country and provided for dictionaries with different phonetic marking for these sections. g KAROLYIS TO RETURN.
