U.5. WORLD COURT ENTRY EXPECTED U. 5. COURT VIEW Impression That American|Reported Decision of Cool- Senate Is Barring Way Is Denied. BY DAVID LAWRENCE. America’s entry into the World Court app-ars now to be assured. The course of procedure determined | upon by the United States Government | is such that when an exchange of notes has been accomplished the way will be open for the other nations of the world | to accept the reservations made by the | United States Senate. Contrary to general impression, the American Senate is not barring the way to the World Court. The reservations adopted by the Sepate were almost all acceptable to the other countries, but there were one or two ambiguous ghrms on which ether governments ave sought information. The Ameri- can Government now is ready to furnish the necessary explanation and no action by the Senate is necessary. Does the United States, for instance, Insist that advisory opinions shall not be rendered by the World Court without the consent of the United States or merely that this should be required only when America is involved in thz dispute? ‘The answer is that America does not wish to block the machinery of the ‘World Court by exercising a veto on all its operations, but merely wishes to avoid embarrassment by having disputes submitted or discussed which are direct- ly related to purely Amorican questions. | How also should consent be given? ‘The answer again is that an exchange of notes can express the necessary assent, Of Binding Character. Ever since the Kollogg anti-war treaties were negotiated the strength of note exchanges has been impressed on the various governments. Indeed, the correspondence which led up to the signing of the anti-war pacts them- selves now is regarded as having much more of a binding character than the general phrases of the treaties. If the Amercan assurances with reference to the World Court reserva-! tions are not considered by other nations as sufficient and it is desired to have the Senate specifically clarify its own reservations, then it might be argued that the Senate would be justi- fied in attaching reservations to the anti-war treaties, something that all the powers are anxious to avoid, for it might mean the addition of reserva- tior:s on the part of other parliamentary bodies and thus delay ratification. As matters stand now, the President, having conferred first with Secretary | Kellogg and outlined a course of ac- tion, then told the Senators something of his plans. Individual consultations with Senators strengthen Mr. Kellogg's view that the Senate did net intend its reservations to be obstructive and that his note of explanation will re- move all ambiguity on the points rais- ed. By this simple device the other governments will be in a position to accept American entry into the World Court. Hoover Favors Court. Even if the exchanges are not con- cluded under the Coolidge administra- tion, they will be under Herbert Hoo- ver. The latter has always been sym- pathetic with the World Court “idea. In fast, he was one of the early pro- league exponents. Charles Evans Hughes who helped Mr. Hoover on the stump, lected to the World Court and is anxious to have American par- ticipation a reality. It is assumed that he has been instrumental in working out the new formula which will make it possible for other governments to sceept the Senate reservations. The American notes will merely be explanatory of the reservations, and while they will be a significant part of the record, they will be vital only in that they enable the other governments of the world to interpret for themselves the meaning of the Senate reservations. The practical effeet will be that America will be 8 member of the World Court and that, unless the United States ‘becomes involved in a dispute which the Senate by a two-thirds vote agrees to submit to the court, the part the United States will play will be one of moral helpfulness in giving prestige to an international institution. Actually Justice Hughes, sitting as an American, will, like the other judges, represent not any one 3 all countries in endeavoring to decide, on the facts and the prineipals of international law, who is right or wrong in a particular ques- tion submitted to the court for decision. (Copyright, 1928.) LARSON PATENT CASE REVIEW IS REFUSED Supreme Court Ruling on Right to Bacteria Killing Process Sought. | The Supreme Court today declined | to review the case of Dr. Winford P. Larson vs. David Crowther, involving the question whether the former or the latter was entitled to a patent on the process of Kkilling bacteria by means i tic pressure. pears that Mr. Crowther kad been working on a metheod of kiling bacteria in toodstuffs, such as miik, by | subjecting the food to a great amount | of pressure and then reieasing :essure 50 that the bacteria exploded the liquid food and were killed. In that manner the food became sterilized. At the same time Dr. Larson was working on a method of producing vaccines by subjecting the bacteria substances to pressure by means of carbon dioxides. Dr. Larson developed his work at the University of Minnesota, where Mr. Crowther was also cmployed to assist | Dr. Larson on the mechanical side of | the experimentation. It appears that about 1918 Mr. Crowther iniormed Dr. Larson that he had a “master patent” on a machine for sterilization of food products and that unless he received an increase mn salary he would file an application for a patent. Dr. Larson did not accede to Mr. Crowther's de- mand and the latter filed an applica- tion. ‘When Mr. Crother filed his applica- tion Dr. Larson likewise applied for a patent, but it was undersiocod between him and the university that should the pacent be granted it would be free to| the world and all the business andj patent rights aequired by him to the process would be turned over to the National Dental Rescarch Association. The proceedings in th> Patent Office resulted in favor of Crowther. Larson appealed to the Coust of Appeals of the District of Columbia, which re- versed the decision of the Patent Office to Larson. Frowiter then brought suit ir the| United States District Court in Min- nesota to compel the commissioner of patents to issue a patent to him. In this suit Dr. Larson intervened. The District Court in Minnesola and the Circuit Court of App-ais for th: Eighth Circuit decided in favor of Crowther.

By the Associated Pross. i GENEVA, November 26.—Inasmuch as the League of Nations is about to take up the questior of reorganization of the World Court of Justice, including the problem of advisory opinions, in- | ternational circles regard as exceed- ingly timely the reported decision of | President Coolidge to remew negotia- tions for the adhesion of the United States. It was recalled in official League cir- cles today that the conference of pow- ers which were members of the court in 1928 which accepted all but the fifth American_reservation, touching on ad- visory opinicns. especially invited the United States to pursue the negotia- tions, but that since then no official word has come from Washington. Officials emphasize that the League will welcome an expression of American views and desires. Switzerland has in- augurated a movement to determine whether the Council should ask advisory | op'lzuons by a majority or unanlmousl vote. Establishment of the unanimity rule would facilitate American adhesion, be- | cause the veto privilege. which Wash- | ington wants on the court’s power to | grant these cpinions, could be rendered | effective by giving the United States | the right to vots with the League Council. But many jurists fear that if the Council's rules are definitely clarified, a majority vote of the coun- cil_would be declared to be legally sufficient. They prefer unanimity, be- cause advisory opinions frequently pos- sess great political importance and form the basis of the actual settlement of disputes. They favor allowing pre- cedence gradually to prove the wisdom of that unanimity rule under which the United States would be given com- plete satisfaction. Meantime, however, officials express the hope that the United Statees will be content with the same powers and the same uncertainty accepted by members of the Council. NEEDS OF DISTRICT | ARE BEING DRAFTED Gibson and Gilbert Study Surveys for Presentation at Short Session. Chairman Gibson and Representa- tive Gilbert of Kentucky, the ranking Democrat on the special com- mittee that is making an economy and | efficiency survey of the municipal ad- ministration, are in conference today | looking over the progress of studies made by the Bareau of Efficiency and drafting a program for the subcom- mittee to follow during the coming short session of Congress. Representative Gilbert expressed him- self as ready to co-operate with Chair- | man Gibson during the remainder of | his term in Congress to put through as much 1emedial legislation as possible for the District. He said he was ready to take up this work immediately and devote the major portion of his time to carrying forward the reform program outlined by the subcommittee. Police Quiz Not Dropped. ‘The conference today confirmed the statement previously made by Mr. Gib- son that the first work of the subcom- mittee will be to present to Congress the best available information regard- ing the proposed merger of transporta- tion facilities in the District, the fiscal relations between the Federal Govern- ment and the local taxpayers, improve- ment of the licensing system and rec- ommendations regarding assessment and taxation. It was reiterated that the subcom- mittee has ne intention of dropping the so-called police investigation or any other phase of the local survey already undertaken. It was learned today that @s soon s possible the subcommittee expects to take vigorous action in re- gard to the clean-up of unsatisfactory already shown or that may develop in the Police Department. Chairman Gibson raid he is not tak- ing an active interest in the present drive against gambling housss, but beth _he and Mr. Gilbert are allowing the District officials time to effect sn improvement which was demanded from Maj. Hesse, Commissioner Dougherty and other officials by the subcommittee in the closing days of the previous ses- sion of Congress. Chairman Gibson and Representative Gilbert expect to make a personal in- spection of the reformatory and work- house at Lawton and Occoquan, in com- vany with Herbert D. Brown, chief of the Bureau of Ffficiency, some day this week to see what particular recom- mendations for these fostitutions should be made during the short session of Congress. The report on fiseal relations between trict Governments is expected from the Bureau of Effici-| ency the latter part of this week and is to be given close study by both Mr. Gibson and Mr. Gilbert.

Engineer and Fireman Found Scalded Almost Beyond Recognition. Washington Man Is Cited asj Outstanding Hero in Work of Rescue. O. E. Everett of Washington, fire-/| man and George W.

Va. The boiler burst when the engin2 turned over and the engineer and fireman were scalded almost beyond recognition. Robert Carey of Washington, barber on tke train, was the outstanding hero of the wreck, according to reports re- ceived by railroad officials. Al h his arm was crushed and a | bone broken when ths impact hurled him against the side of the club car, Carey, who lives at 3021 Bunker Hill | road, called encouragement to the frightened passengers who were left in darkness, and, despite his injury, smashed several windows and assiste & number of the passengers to crawl,/ to safety.

After all of the passengers were out. of the car, Carey crawled through a window and with the assistance of a, eolored maid, went up and down ther tracks administering first ‘aid to thoser Possengers suffering from cuts and uises. Later Carey was removed to) a Lospital in Hagerstown, Md. The more seriously injured are David Thomas and Gerald Willett, colored.| cooks on the train, both badly scalded; ‘William Hubbs of Hagerstown, fractured wrist and several broken ribs; J. W.

Taylor, city editor of the Columbia Record, the chances for publication of a suicide note “in one or two towns where a certain young lady may be.” Yesterday he was found dead in his rooming house, with a bullet wound in his body and the gas in his room turned on, Taylor identified Wood as the man who called on him to inquire the possi- bilities of publication of the suicide note. The city editor said Wood told him he was “not speaking for myself, but for a friend.” Stranger Takes Life After Asking Editor Suicide Note to Girl A reporter was assigned to follow ‘Wood, but lost the man in a store. Wood left three notes. One was ad- dressed to his landlady, to whom he apologized for taking his life in her house. Another was a letter to a girl whose name he did not give, but” who he said lived either in Atlanta, Ga., or Jacksonville, Fla. The third was ad- dressed to business associates, wishing them success. Officials believe a love affair may have caused the act. Little is known of Wood here, but one of the notes indicated he had a sister in Cincinnati. V-4 OFF FOR HOME PORT AFTER FIVE DAYS’ VISIT Chill Winds Braved by Hundreds Yesterday to Pass Through Submersible. The fleet submarine V-4, largest of the American Navy's undersea eraft, and the only minelayer of its type, left the Washington Navy Yard early today for her home port at Provincetown, Mass. The vessel has been here for 5 days, curing which she was overhauled and equipped with 60 deep sea mines, manu- factured at the local naval gun factory. Scores of naval officials inspected the craft during her stay here and yester- day hundreds of eivillans braved the chill winds on the Anacostia River waterfront, awaiting their turn to pass through the submersible. En route to Provincetown, it is planned to put the vessel 300 feet below the ocean's surface, the extreme depth which she was built to withstand. Up to the time of her arrival here, the V-4 had only been idown to the 200-foot depth. BLUEJACKETS QUIT NICARAGUAN POSTS Battalion Is Second Unit to Be Withdrawn Since Election in Republic.

In awarc ng the fellowships the trus- tees will not single out any particular branch of study, but will endeavor to give them to women of high intellec- tual achievement. who possess the qual- ities most ntial for research and creative work. At present there is a lack of oute standing scholars in this country. Dean Virginia Gildersleeve of Barnard, chair- man of the advisory committee of the $1.000,000 fund, has pointed out that this is due to a scarcity of funds for | research rather than to any scarcity of | ability. Every year several hundred brilliant woman °students are forced, through economic reasons, to give up their ambition of doing creative work. In 1927 there were 166 applicants, all of them highly qualified women, for the 12 fellowships which the Amer- ican Association of University Women has in its power to award. The fleld: in which the applicants wished to pursue advanced study included art, archeology, classics, economics, educa- tion, English literature, foreign lan- guages, mathematics, music, medicine, philosophy, pyschology, public health, science, sociology and theology. The association was forced, through lack of funds, to deny the opportunity for further advanced study of 15¢ women. Homor Members Listed. The first woman to receive the Ph.
