SARDING RIDDL OF THE L S PROVISIONS AGUE OF NATIONS Marlon, 0., Sept. 20.—Warning that the caghie of nations is “full of known am- viguities” and that it was an ambiguity u our own constitution that led to the Jivil war, Senator Harding today asked 1 délegation of Civil war veterans and a ielegation of Kentucky and Tennessee s.tizens “How we ever can consent to snter into a new world compact with a tozen ambiguities in it.” The senator asserted that Article X of he league of nations is a “reciprocal sledge on our part to help preserve the ndependence and national integrity of ‘orty-four 1 #.ons,” and that the article ind s correlaries “clearly contemplate war, if need Le, to make this preservation sosilbte.” Ageerting that President Wilson had dlacéd the “purport of an obsolete Clay- «on-Bulwar treaty” above our constitu- donkl rights, in requiring tolls from Américan vessels passing through the anfima canal, Ser ator Harding exclaim- «d: “Who cares to gay that this same tort 6t logic will not some day He used to plage uan unwillmg Amcrica into for~ sign war if we unreservedly subscribe to Amx. the constitution (o the contrary » standing.” to a misunderstanding, the Ken- tucky and Tennessce delegation came to- y, fhstead of tomorrow and the presi- #enblhl candidate sddressed them along willh 4 delegation of G.

Other interesting developments of the day included: : Announcement by the. district attor- ney's office that Edwin P, Fischer, law- yer and former employe of the French high commission, who sent postcard warnings of the disaster from Toronto, had virtually eliminated himself - from any direct knowledge or complieity in the case after eight hours of question- American in Lincoln’s time tould be simultaneously for emancipation and for, slavery. “Let me say right here in passing that I am a fairly sympathetic human being and I wouldn't break the heart of any- body knowingly, but I would rather break the heart of the world than destroy the soul of the United States of America. NINTH SESSION OF COUNCIL OF LEAGUE OF NATIONS| Receipt of a warning by Wigm I Edwards, collector of internal ..venue, that an attempt would be made to de- stroy the customs house-at 2 p. m. to- morrow. This is regarded by the po- lice as a hoax. Identification of the hitherto uniden- tified body, previously believed as prob- ably tha tof the driver of the explosive- laden wagon, as that of Elmer W. Keh- rer, an unemployed chauffeur and lack of any evidence connecting him with the crime. Release of Aléxander Brailovsky, a Russian journalist, who was arrested on a technical charge of being an undesira- ble alien after he admitted having been seen in the vicinity of Broad and Wall Streets shortly after the explosion took place. Search by federal agents for a re- ported cache of explosives on Plum Beach Isiand, a government reservation off Sheepshead Bay, where a quantity of trinitrotoloul was found in an abandoned vessel several months ago. Joseph “N:de, an agent of the society for the prevention of cruelty to animals, is the man who claims to have seen the “déath wagon” in Wall street at 10.30 Thursday morning. He said that he had been sent to Manhattan from a Brook- Iyn court to serve a summons and: while walking up Broad street noticed an oid red delivery wagon in front of the assay office around the corner. The horse ap- peared broken-down, he said, and he went over to make an examination of it, finding a bad sore under the collar. He looked at his watch and noticed it Paris, Sept. 20.—The ninth session of the couricil of the League of Nations ad- journed today after having smoothed out difficulties between four nations in con- troversies which at one time threatened to result in war. Through its action in the Polish-Lithuanian crisis the council succeeded in getting the two countries to agree to an immediate suspension of hostilities pending a settlement of their: dispute which both sides agreed to ac- cept. _ The Aland Islands question likewise is considered in a fair way for settlement. A Finnish reservation, which at first ap- peared seriously to cloud the issue, was explained as not offering an insurmount- able difficulty and as having been made largely for cethnical reasons. League officials explained that although neither Finland nor Sweden was legally bound to accept the league’s decision they were morally bound to accept it. It was further pointed out that a settlement “if backed by public opinion would Vir- tuafiy compel acceptance.” COLBY TALKS OF RELATIONS WITH THE ISLAND OF HAITI Washington, Sept. ‘20, — Announcing that the “benevolent purpose” of this country's occupation of the Island of Haiti was “nearing” attainment, Secre- tary Colby declared in a statement to- night that the United States ‘“hopes” to withdraw and leave the island's admin- istration fo the “unaided effdrts of the Haitien people” when that purpose has been fully achieved. The relations of the United States with Haiti, the secre- tary added, should not be “misrepresent- ed even under the temptations that a po- litical campaign presents to irresponsible utterance and conscious unveracity.” While not replying directly to recent charges by Senator Harding, the republi- can presidential nominee, that the ad- ministration was conducting ‘unconstitu- tional warfare” against Haiti and San Domingo, Secretary Colby recited at length the history of American occupation of those countries and .defended it was being guided by ‘no thought except to help” their peoples. GRAND OPERA SEASON IN N. Y. OPENED WITH “CARMEN" ed beside the wagon umtil 11.30 with the intention of serving a summons on the driver, when he was forced to leave in order to serve his Brooklyn sum- mons, which was for a morning session | of the court. He did not examine. closely the contents of. the :wagon, but described it as “an ordinary - dilapidated express wagon.” B L R A polies the - collar Meade also told the worn by the horse was. of the “K" type and this is the kind of -2 collar that was found in the street after.the explosion. He also noticed that al Ithe ernamental knobs and o'her markings had - been stripped from ‘the harness and in this, 0o, his description tallies with that of the material actually found. - He algo stated the horse had bgen but recently clipped and that the wagon _bore no name but had some numcrais on the side. s Police attach much importance to Meade's statement and are using the material he furnished in their investiga- tion into the identity of the wagon and its_driver. Information that three suspicious- | looking men were seen running from the scene was furnished by Samuel B. Wel-| lington, president of the West Indies Trading Company. He declared he left a lawyer's office in Wall street a few minutes before noon Thursday and as he did he heard voices calling: “Hurry! Beat-it! Get out of this!” He looked across the street and saw two middle 2ged men, who looked to him like “Bast .Side peddlers,” beckoning and calling to a third man who was on the other side of the street nearer thel assay office and across the street fromi the Morgan bank. The third man, be- lieved to be about 60 years old and ae- scribed as ‘“greasy” loking, was then peering into the ramshackle wagon at the curb. In response to the call of the others, the third man, Mr. Wellington said, started to run after them toward Wil- liam street. He took them for bond fhieves, he added, and expected to see them chased by a policeman. When he reached the corner of Xassau street he 'was knocked. unconscious by the explo- wion.
