Declaring that the nations the % worlé do not “see eve to eye” with 3 America, being unable to understand her “abandonment of the infant League ©of Nations on the European doorstep.” 1t we fail to take the parity and other ratios for which we strove at ® Tondon, they will not understand that. | _ They will not credit it to our desire for | 2 peace and America will go to the next 3 limitation_conference in 1935 with less + influence than she has ever had in such gathering.” America’s only weight in world coun- 2 cils on questions of armament lies in 3 her wealth and her ability to indulge ¢ herself in any degree of armament that sppeals to her, he declared. Admiral Sir Herbert Richmond, K. C. B., former president of the Royal Naval War College, discussing the ques- tion of abolishment of the blockade, said that blockade is an accepted prin- | ciple in time of war, and has never been disputed amol tions. $ _ Commenting on the question of con- % fidence in the sanctity of treatles, Sir £ Herbert said: 3 “We have all signed great treaty % rencuncing_war itself; yet we do not appear ready to place an abiding trust in it for our security. There is a treaty % —the Clayton-Bulwer treaty—which provides for the immunity of the Pan- ama Canal in war, yet it is deemed nec- essary further to safeguard it by heavy $ fortification.” ] Urges New Treaty. 8 Prof. Jesse Reeves of the University 3 of Michigan, addressing the round ta- £ble on “Pan-American Problems,” of 'whlch he is leader, advocated negotia- 3 tion of a treaty with each of the Ci ribbean countries, setting forth the ex- tent to which special interests are to 1 be_recognized.

NATIONAL BAR OPENS SESSIONS Colored Attorneys Start Fifth Convention at Howard University. The National Bar Association, com- posed of colored attorneys throughout vention this morning at the Howard University School of Law with nearly 200 members registered. The lawyers are guests of the Washington Bar Assoclation. The sessions will end tomorrow evening. Secretary of Labor Davis, Dr. Luther H. Reichelderfer, District Commissioner, and William L. Houston of the Wash. ington Bar Association, formally wel- comed the convention this morning. In delivering his annual address, Raymond Pace_Alexander of Philadel- phia, president of the association, re- viewed the pi ess of the organization since its inception in 1925 to the pres- ent convention, larly stressing recent legislation beneficial to the colored race. - Karl F. Phillips, conciliator of labor, United States Labor Department, dis- cussed the history of the colored laborer with organized labor in the United States. At present, .he said, colored labor, which is almost wholly unskilled, is menaced by the machine. ‘The only effective counter-check for this condition, he said, is a vastly high- er percentage of - educated colored people. The final address of the morning session was delivered by Judge James A. Cobb of the Municipal Court, who discussed legislation that peculiarly af- fects the colored people.

TARVER, Btaff Correspondent! of The Star. ROCKVILLE, Md., August 7.—Alleg- ing violation of trust and illega] dis- bursement of public funds, Walter W. Mobley, g taxpayer, of Derwood, Md., filed suit ¥n Equity Court here today to recover all monies paid the Maryland Publishing Co. on order of the commis- sioners for Montgomery County since August, 1927. The bill requests an ac- counting and seeks to hold the county commissioners individually liable. This action followed a démand Sat- urday on the commissioners in a letter from Mr. Mobley that money paid the Maryland Publishing Co. for public be returned to the county treasury. ened a taxpayer's sult if no acceptable answer was received by August 6. The commissioners made no reply to the de- mand. The letter sets the probably sum paid the publishing company at $25,000. First Raised in Equity Sult, The bill filed today contalned a prayer that the defendants be enjoined from including in the tax levy for 1930 any sum due or alleged to be due from Montgomery County to the Maryland Publishing Co. The question of the legality of con- tracts entered into by the board of commissioners with the Maryland Pub- lishing Co. first was raised July 7, when Mr. Mobley filed a bill in equity seek- e letter threat- | Willl ing to enjoin the commissioners from any further dealings with the concern. The action today took the form of an amendment to the original injunction STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, THURSDAY, AUGUST 7, 1930 the 28 as the last day the defend- ants may appear in court to answer the action. Process must be served on them ugust 14. o by At Both the prayer for an injunction and the nt suit were on the fact that four of the county commis- sioners were stockholders in the Mary- land Publishing Co. up to July 16, last, and that the Maryland Code prohibits any county commissioner from contract- ing with a firm in which he is finan- cially interested. The section covering the matter makes any violation an in- dictable offense and renders the offend- ing commissioner liable to removal from office. Peter Denies Injunction. Judge Robert B. Peter signed an order denying the injunction Monday after he had been informed that the commis- sloners had cancelled their stock in the publishing company and the three of them who had been directors had re- signed their directorships. The formal answer also embodied the statement that the publishing firm had cancelled al] debts owed it by the county. The proceedings for an aceounting and recovery name Dr. Benjamin C. Perry, Lacy Shaw, Clagett C. Hilton and Robert L. Hickerson as the former stockholders in.the Maryland Publish- ing Co. and the first three as directors. Recovery, however also is sought against the l.flnh colmissioner, Downey M. ms, It is urged that the interest of the commissioners in the Maryland Pub- lishing Co. renders all contracts with it illegal and consequently vold. Accuse Officials of Failing to Act. The bill sets out that Mr. Mobley's attorneys, Vivian Simpson and Harold C. Smith, made demands on State’s At- torney Robert B. Peter, jr., and Capt. Joseph C. Cissel, attorney for the coun- ty commissioners, to recover the money for the county, but that both officials refused to act. Fraud and violation of trust is al- leged in what is set out as a refusal by the county commissioners to permit county advertising in & certain ne paper on the grounds that the new: paper in ?ueuhn opposed the commis- sioners politically. Itiis stated that the Maryland News, publication of the Maryland Publishing Co. Mhmmdfiu' county advertising and that it support. ;dthe political program of the de- fendants. Unless the court takes jurisdiction in the matter, a to the bill, the plaintiff and “many other taxpayers similarly situated will suffer irreparable loss in this, that money collected from taxes will have been paid out upon an fllegal and void contract to the injury of your orator and all other taxpayers similarly situated.” BOY SCOUTS OF DISTRICT PLAN MIDSUMMER RALLY Program to Be Held Tomorrow Evening at SBylvan Theater on Monument Grounds.
