Bent and his associates will hold a re- ception aboard the Danae. In the eve- ning the British officers will be guests of Admiral William V. Pratt, U. 8. N, chief of naval operations, at dinner at his residence in Observatory Circle. ‘The ship’s crew is not to be neglect- ed, for several sightseeing parties for them have been mapped out and thea- ter parties have been arranged. While the British officers are becoming known about several of Washington's clubs that have extenced courtesy member- ships, downtown Washington has caught glimpses of the enlisted personnel of the vessel. Yesterday afternoon unlocked the be- ginning of the social program, for a party of the ship's officers motored to Annapolis, Md., and witnessed the foot ball game in which Navy gave William and Mary a trouncing. Ninety petty officers and other enlisted men also saw the game. The officers lunched at the Officers’ Club. Dinner Is Given. Last evening Sir Ronald Lindsay, the British Ambassador, gave a dinner in honor of Capt. Bent and nine officers of the Danae. Following this introduc- tion to Washington soclety circles, the captain and his officers attended a dance given by Mr. and Mrs. Leander McCormick-Goodhart at their residence, 1785 Massachusetts avenue.

Tighe Held “Probably Accidental” by Norfolk Coroner. Special Dispatch to The Star. NORFOLK, Va., October 4 —Edward J. Tighe, 35, of 2701 Fourteenth street, Washington, was “drowned in the waters of the Elizabeth River when he drove his automobile overboard from & wharf, probably accidentally,” accord- ing to the death certificate signed to- day by Dr. C. D. J. MacDonald, city coroner, who has ordered an inquést for October 14. ‘The body of a man taken by divers from his sedan, sunk 30 feet deep in the harbor waters off the foot of Water street, was positively identified during the afternoon by his wife, Mrs. Adele Tighe, who arrived at Virginia Beach last night to meet her husband, who had been there several days. He drove the 20 miles from the beach into Nor- folk, leaving shortly before she arrived, and after registering at two Norfolk hotels died when his machine plunged overboard early this morning. Mrs. Tighe, driving with friends, left by motor for Washington late today and the body was forwarded by way of the Norfolk” & Washington steamboat to Washington, where funeral services will be held. Tighe, police learned, arrived at Vir- ginia Beach Wednesday and had spent Wednesday as a guest of the Cavalier Hotel, only to check out and register in turn at-three other Virginia hotels. He spent some of his time with friends and last night shortly after 6 o'clock left for Norfolk, expecting to return in time to meet his wife, who was to arrive at about 9 o'clock at night. ‘That, 8o far as police could learn was the last time anyone who knew him saw him. Mrs. Tighe was delayed and did not arrive at the beach until later. Registered at Two Hotels. Meantime, investigations have shown Tighe registered at the Atlantic Hotel shortly after 9 o'clock, only to check out a short time later, receive his money back and register at the Southland Hotel at 10:00 o'clock, according to Detective Mathews, who was assigned to the case. At 1:55 this morning, not half an hour before his car plunged from a dock, Patrolman R. A. James tagged his automobile, which bore District of Columbia license plates on Tazewell street, which is in the non-parking fire Bent, commander of H. M. §.

LEAGUE ADJOURNS ELEVENTH SESSION Assembly Dissatisfied With Results, but Not Discour- " aged by Them. By the Associated Press. GENEVA, October 4—Dissatisfied but not discouraged, the League of Nations | cruiser. WOMEN'S CLUB LEADER DIES AFTER ILLNESS Mrs. Josephine E. Weber Expires at Hospital; Funeral Will Be Held Tomorrow Afternoon. Mrs. Josephine E. Weber, 58 years old, long prominent in several grouj and organizations here, died in Sibley Hospital yesterday afternoon after a short liness. She underwent an opera- tion Wednesday. She was the widow of Henry W. Weber, formerly superintendent of printing at the Government Printing Office. Mr. Weber died in May, 1927. Mrs, Weber was vice president of the board of lady managers of Casualty Hospital, president of the Dahlgren Terrace Circle of the Florence Critten- wn Home, a charter member of the Dorcas Lodge of the Rebekah organiza- tion, Independent Order of Odd Fellows, and a member of Bethlehem Chapter, Order of the Eastern Star. She also was a charter member of the Keller Memorial Luthern Church. She is survived by two sons, William J. and Edward L. Weber, and a daugh- 3. Mrs. Edward C. Walter, all of this y. Funeral services will be conducted at her residence, 1004 Rhode Island ave- nue northeast, tomorrow afternoon at 2 o'clock. Rev. Samuel T. Nicholas, pastos ef the Keller Memorial Lutheran Zhureh, will officiate. Interment will be in Fort Lincoln Cemetery. 4,000 DUELS ARE FOUGHT | ANNUALLY IN VIENNA Austrian Students Have Many Fights at One Time to Save Cost of Hall. VIENNA (#).—The bursar of Vienna University is authority for a statement that 4,000 is the average number of duels fought each year by students of the institution. The duels are not fought out singly, because the swordsmen seldom can af- ford to hire a hall in which to conduct the private strife safe from the eyes and ears of the authorities. Conse- quently the secretaries of the various student groups keep track of the affairs and when a sufficlent number have accumulated there is a long program in_some one hall. The fighters fall into three cate- gories. The first includes those who fight to prove manliness. They chal- lenge without provocation The second category comprises those who fight on trivial grounds, such as walking out with another fellow's girl, or being stared at. The Jast group challenges for insults of a graver nature. It includes Jewish students, but they do not always get satisfaction as a pan-German Christian will not meet a Jew and the Roman Catholic clerical students will not fight at all, as a matter of prineiple. —_— Police Hunt Missing Man. Local police have been asked to par- ticipate in a search that is being con- ducted for M. H. Well, 50 years old, reported mysteriously missing from his home in' Morgantown, W. Va., since Thureday. A reward of $500 has been Assembly comuded its eleventh annual | session today after grappling for three and one-half weeks with obstinate in- ternational problems, ‘There were various reasons why the leaders of 52 nations leaving Geneva tonight were not entirely satisfled with the results of this sitting. Most kunly-‘ felt, perhaps, was the failure to accom plish the amendment of the League covenant so as to close its existing war gaps and thus advance the stage in in- ternational dealing expressed in the Kellogg-Briand anti-war pact. The delegates found, in facing re- vision that some changes suggested might affect the present status of the sanctions in the covenant, some (earlng‘ that these sanctions might be extended | and others wishing that such would | happen. The question, therefore, was relzl;’ed to the governments for further study. Statute Disappointing. Disappointment also was felt that the revised statute of the World Court was not brought into force, since it con- | tained measures purporting to adjust the court’s machinery to new conditiors and guaranteeing & provision that League leaders believe would facilitate the entry of the United States into the tribunal. This provides that no judg- ment may be taken in a case involving an American interest without consent of the United States. Few of the League's directing mem- | bers were fully satisfied with the As- sembly’s disarmament work, but they felt that some progress had been made. The Assembly asked its Preparatory Disarmament Commission to make the November session its last and to com- plete a draft for a general disarmament | treaty. It also requested the Council—its ex- ecutive body—to call a general confer- ence on reduction and limitation of | armaments “as soon as possible.” This| cautious phrase was deplored by some, | notably the Germans, who tried unsuc- cessfully to have the conference date fixed for next year. Financial Provision. Great satisfaction was taken, how- ever, in the conclusion of a convention for financial assistance to a member | state which may be attacked. This is regarded as an addition to a number of | measures discouraging war. The gain in sentiment for compulsory | arbitration also was regarded as a cause | for rejoicing. This feeling was ex- pressed by the president, Nicholas | Tituleseu of Rumania, in his closing | address: | “At this moment nearly all of the members of the League, including Ru- mania, have acceded to the optional clause of the World Court (providing compulsory arbitration). We can all re- | member the excitement which used to| run through the Assembly when we| heard of the accession of a single coun- try. Now compulsory arbitration reigns in the world.” Following are some of the more im- | portant other matters dealt with: The Briand scheme for an European union was turned over to a committee of the European member states for study.. This group will meet in Janu- ary for a report. ‘The Assembly authorized a world- wide scientific study of the prevailing economic depression. Elected 15 Justices. Fifteen justices were elected to the World Court by the Council. They in- cluded Frank B. Kellogg, former Ameri. can Secretary of State. Dates for two oplum conferences were set—one of manufacturing states in London, October 27, and another on offered for information leading to his whereabouts. Weil left home in an automobile, police were informed. N France expects its wheat crop this fi to total more than 240,000,000 limitation of manufacture, in Geneva May 27. The United States was invited to both. * “The Council ordered the withdrawal | years, SUPREME GOURT BEGINS NEW TERM Increased Docket Shows Varied Types of Cases for Consideration. By the Associated Press. The Supreme Court will begin a new | term tomorrow, with all its nine mem- | bers present, including Justice Holmes, | who will be 80 next March, and Justice | Roberts, who went on the bench in the closing session of last term. ‘The justices have returned to Wash- ington much benefited by the rest they obtained between working on cases which poured into the court during the recess, Chief Justice Hughes and Justices McReynolds, Sutherland and Stone made short trips abroad. Increase in Cases. ‘There was a slight increase in the average of cases filed during the Sum- mer. While no outstanding case at- tracting wide national interest con- fronts the court, there are many of major importance. Three hundred peti- tions asking reviews of lower court and 50 appeals have accumulated. Many of these have already been studied by the Justices, who will devote the first two weeks of the new term to decide in con- ferences which cases present questions to be disposed of with written decisions and which must be dismissed without further consideration because the ques- tions presented are not within jurisdic- tion of the court. Oral arguments of counsel in cases pending will not begin until Monday, October 20. The court at its last s sion disposed of all cases awaiting de- cision, setting a new record for recent ‘When the court meets, however, there will be approximately 500 cases on its appellate docket, compared with 432 last October, ‘There are by far more tax contro- versies than any other class. An ava- lanche has poured in as corporations, companies and the public have found grounds for demanding refunds of por- tions of paid Federal and State taxes. Among the cases of prime importance are two challenging Federal jurisdic- tion over radio communication,” attack- ing the control of Congress through a Federal commission to regulate broad- casting stations. ‘The motion picture industry is vitally interestec in the in- terpretation which the highest court may place upon contracts, leases and regulations used by some of the largest distributors. Candy manufacturers in Chicago and a bill posters’ organization in New York are asking the court to reverse anti-trust decisions against them. Rallroads Interested. Rallroads are watching the outcome of a number of controversies involving a determination of methods to be usec by the Interstate Commerce Commis- sion in fixing their investment values, whether a State or the Federal Govern- ment controls in the construction of union passenger stations and & number of other questions. Although the court has steadfastly sustained national prohibition against all attacks, it has not freed itself of such controversies, and is being asked to set aside the Jones 5 and 10 law, to pass again on the validity of the eight- eenth amendment and the Volstead enforcement act, and to decide whether a number of persons convicted of pro- hibition violations were legally con- victed or were subjected to unlawful search and seizure. Some owners of brewery property would have the Federal Government refund some of the taxes they paic on the ground that national prohibition decreased the value of their property. Also there are pending 18 cases in which States are parties mostly present- ing boundary disputes. ‘The docket contains many human in- terest cases in addition to those - senting profound legal problems. Out. standing among these are two in which the court is asked to decide whether death from blood poisoning following the removal of a hair from the nose and death from sunstroke were accidental, of the Franco-Belgian defense force from the Saar district, thus removing the last .‘.i’f’" occupation troops from entitling beneficiaries to collect on ac- claenz insurance carried by the de- ceased, zone area after 1 pm. A few minutes later he met a man, he said, who, ap- parently rather bewildered, asked the officer if he had seen his automobile. James said he told the man, whom he later identified as Tighe, that his ma- le was on Tazewell street with a tag on it. The man, he said, explained | he was a stranger in Norfolk and had misplaced the street on which he left his automobile. A short time after that Patrolman Cooper saw a large sedan crulsing around in the warehouse section of the water front, deserted at that hour, but paid little attention to it. Then, in- vestigations disclosed, S. J. Britt, a rail- road watchman, saw a similar machine drive up to the dock on Matthews street and t just in time to avoid running the dock into a barge that was tled up there. Watchman Makes Investigation. Britt, some distance away, saw the machine back up and turn into Water street, proceeding through the gates that led to the dock and disappear. He heard no crash, but walked on up to investagate and found scars on the dock timbers where the fenders of the car had scraped in going over, and another rusty streak evidently made when the muffler scraped, and still another place that was smeared with grease as if the drip pan had struck. Sounding with a rock tied on the end of a line, the car was soon located, but police were unable to procure a diver | for the work of lifting it until the Nor- | folk Navy Yard opened at 8 am. The time of the accident was placed at be- tween 2 and 2:30 am. Two watches on the body of Tighe had stopped, a wrist watch at 2:18 and a pocket watch, which was better protected from the water, at 2:33. The car, bearing the body of the driver, remained sub- merged until 10 o'clock when it was brought to the surface by W. H. Clarke, a civillan diver, attached to the Nor- folk Navy Yard. Tentative identifica- tion was made through an allwmobfle“ registration that he carried on an in- side pocket. He had on his body $102 besides some silver, the money being | one $100 bill and two $1 bills. These were all the effects he had except a few golf tees. ‘The car was brought to the surface about noon and was found to be badly scarred, but not materially damaged mehcanically by the dive. The dock at the place is some 8 feet above the ‘water e, and the water is about 30 feet deep. Car in Upright Position. The diver reported that the car was sitting upright on the bottom sunk down in the silt almost wheel deep. He found the body in a driving posi- tion, but huddled against the top. The glass was down about 5 inches in the front door beside the driver's seat. Tigl is an automobile salesman. . MacDonald signed the death cer- tificate, allowing the body to be taken to Washington, after a brief investiga- tion, saying that additional facts, 1if any, could be brought out at tlhe in- quest, which has been delayed a week Jonger than usua® because Detactive Leon Nowitzky, coroner's investigator, is on furlough. Nowitzky, however, is at_work on the case. It was entirely possible, they said, for the driver to have mistaken the dock entrance for a street leading out of the city and to have driven overboard before he realized his error. Gates that guard the dock were open. Bright lights were on the building just inside the dock and it was possible that a car if being driven rapidly might go over before a driver realized his plight. | FIRST SMOKER HELD BY KAPPA ALPHA PHI Dr. William F.

CHICAGO, October 4—The Judicial Council of the American Medical Asso- ciation was charged with neglect of duty in a formal statement issued to- day by Dr. Louis E. Schmidt, noted physician and philanthropist, whoce ex- pulsion from the Chicago Medical So- ciety was upheld by the council yes- terday. Dr. Schmidt declared that in pass- ing on his case the councli had con- cerned itself solely with whether his expulsion had been according to the “rote of medical by-laws” and had falled to go into the question of whether the Public Health Institute, with which he was indirectly connected, was in fact unethical. Cause of Expulsion. Dr. Schmidt's expulsion resulted from the fact that he is president of the Tllinois Social Hygiene League, a chari- table organization receiving funds from the Health Institute. The Health In- stitute, which uses advertising to warn of the perils of social disease, has been declared unethical by the Chicago Medi- cal Society. The case was appealed first to the Illinols Medical Society then to the American Medical Society Judicial Council. Belief that had the council “fulfilled | its duty and gone deeply into the whole structure of the case” it would have decided in his favor is expressed by Dr. Schmidt, who added: Political Methods Alleged. “It is no secret that the leaders in charge of the affairs of the Chicago Medical Society have campaigned in a political way against me and it appears to me that the failure of the council to pass upon the facts and the com- placency of the council in deciding this case upon a mere outline of tech- nical procedure may be taken as an admission that the council seized upon this to achieve a result acceptable to the medical politicians and at the same time one which would not directly af- front progressive thinkers in the medi- cal profession and out of it.” Describing the Public Health Institute as “a philanthropic organization, profit- ing no one but the men and women and patients who receive its efficient, thorough treatment at fees which are so low that few sufferers cannot af-| ford to pay,” Dr. Schmidt pointed out that seven prominent Chicago physi- clans are serving the institute in an advisory capacity despite opposition of the Chicago Medical Society.
