By David Lawrence. (Special Correspondent of The Evening World.) WASHINGTON, Joh. 168 (Copy~ right, 1921).—The practical certainty that Charles Evans Hughes will be Secretary of State in the Harding cabinet has led some members of the Senate to take a retrompective glance at the views of the former Associate Justice, not on legal or political ques- tions, but his utterances on foreign policy, which during the campaign had a passing value, but which now will become the basis of American action after March 4, “It should be remembered,” wrote. Mr. Hughes on one occasion, “that the great protection against war for a con- siderable period of years will be found not in any form of words that may now be adopted, but in economic con- ditions which are an assurance that for a considerable time at least wo shall not have a recurrence of world strife, \ “The danger now Ilex not in the men- ace of force employed to further im- Derial designs but in the disorder duo to a breakup and the removal of tra- ditional restraints and the tendency to revolution within states, In making commitments it should be remembered that while it is highly important that at this Ume we should do everything that is practicable to promote poace and to obtain stable conditions, we should pe cautious in making promises which are to be redeemed in unknown contingencies.” Some of the main points in Mr, Hughes's criticlam of the present covenant of the Leaguo of Nations are as follows: Omitting the guaranty in Arti- cle X.

It went cast to Second Avenue, turned south to 26th Street, then west, and dimppeared. * Meanwhile residents along the Block, having heard the shot, ap- Deared at their windows and doors. There wasa chorim of police whistles, Dut some witnesses say It was at least fifteen minutes before a police- man arrived, This may be an ex- agyeration, as nobody claims to have measured the time, and it might @eem longer than it was. Suitable Limitations as to the Meld of the League's Inquiries and action #0 as to leave no doubt that the internal concerns of states, such as immigration and tariff laws, are not embraced, Provision that no foreign power , shall acquire by conquest, pur- chase or in any other way, any possession of the American tinent or the islands adjacent thereto, Provision that the settlement of purely American questions shall be remitted primarily to the American nations, and that Bu- ropean nations shall not intervene unless requested to do so by the AmerinD nations, Wision that no member of th Leaguo shall be constituted a mane datory without its consent, and no European or Asiatic power shall be constituted a mandatory of any American people. Explicit provision that unani- mous agreement or decision is re- quired. Provision that any member of the League may withdraw at its pleasure of a specified notice. The paragraph, however, which makes it possible for Mr, Hughes to approach the Harding campaign view of the League issue and bis own early inelinations toward modificatian of the present covenant of tho League: ‘I think that it is @ fallacy to sup- pose that helpful co-operation in the future will be assured by the attempt. ed compulsion of an inflexible rule. Rather will such co-operation depend upon the fostering of firm friendships springing from @n appreciation of community of ideals, interests and purpese, and such friendships are more Hkely to be promoted by free- dom of conference than by the effort to create hard and fast engagements.” Tho selection of Mr. Hughes as Secretary of State is due largely to the fact that his record ts general enough and his utterances broad enourh to give him a free hand in taking advantage of such machinery for international co-operation as is already in existence or in the setting up of new processes fitted to the campaign pledges of American free. dom of action in ail nternational af- fairs. One thing 4# sure—neither ge reservationists nor the Irrec cilables can claim that Mr. Hughes's words make it impossible for him to accept their point of view and there are plenty of middle of the road Son- ators who think the Hughes mind will produce a compromise. They expect him to lead the party out of the wilderness of dissension and turn the thought and ability of the party to w solution of the acute busi- ness and economic problems of re- construction. the from Enright, action—you will not be disappointed.” It was also generally commented upon that the whole text of Baright's letter to Mr. Swann showed him to be acting, at least, in thorough accord with the attitude assumed by Mayor Hylan when he refused Mr. Swann an interview, -even if he is not proceed- ing undor the direction of his ehief in City Hall, ‘The investigatgrs have, in fact, been given to understand ‘that Mayor Hylan is responsible for the Commis- sioner’s refusal to aid in the investi- mation by assigning even one pollce- man to serve the purposes of the Im- vestigators. As soon as the Hnright letter was turned over to Mr. Whitman be called a conference of all his assistants and it Was at this that a study ofthe City arter and otber authorities was Mr. Swann did not t in the conference, but left his office after turning the letter over to his special counsel. part Patrolman Hitz, on post at Third Avenue and 28th Street, where the passing of elevated trains over his head might account for his failure to hear the shot or the whistles, was the first to arrive. He commandeered a truck and took Gunther to Bellevue Hos- pital. He was placed on the operating table, where it was found that the bullet had grazed the apex of the heart, took a diagonal course down- ward, penetrating the stomach and lodging at the twelfth rib. One of the eyewitnesses of the rob- bery was Irving Kleinman, fourteen years old, of No. 992 De Kalb Avenue, Brooklyn, an office boy employed at No, 231 East 28th Street. He said ho was just across the street from the paymaster and the guard. He said four men, instead of two, got out of the automobile, leaving only the driver in the car. He said all he bandits wore dark overcoats and caps. He said the car was @ Cadillac, and he was sure of this, for he said he had made it a hobby to learn how to distinguish all makes of automobiles at a glance. The number on the lnense plate, he said, was 248,961. The police, however, sent out a general alarm for a car with the license number 248,678. It was learned that this number belongs to David Greenbaum, No. 1119 East 12th Street, Brooklyn, Mrs. Greenbaum told re- Porters that the car had been stolen a week ago at 28th Street and 5th Avenue, This was a 1920 Chandler. Reporters who tried to question the police about the discrepancy of re- ports on the numbers of the cars were ordered out of the East 36th Street Station Detectives were McDonald and Burns agsigned to the robbery and shooting. At the plant the superin- tendent, who said ‘his name was Smith, declared that neither the pay- master nor the guard carried any weapon, Another report was that Gunther had a revolver and was try- ing to wet it out when he was shot The police records show that an attempt “was made last summer to rob the same paymaster and the same guard, but that attempt was made when there more people on the scene, and the outeries of the intended victims drove the bandits away, Schmimke after his were injuries had You may look for) been dressed, was taken to the East | 35th Street Police Station to be que tioned, EVANGELINE BOOTH ILL.

GLEAVES 1S 10 SIET FACTS IN SHOOTING OF NAVAL OFFICER Admiral Will Take Court of Inquiry to Vladivostok Next Week, He Tells Washington. WASHINGTON, Jan. 15—Despite Japanese assurances of regret and Precautions to prevent a recurrence, a thorough investigation will be made by the United States Government of the killing of Lieut. W. H. Langdon, American naval officer, at Viadivos- tok by a Japanese sentry. | Admiral Gleaves, Commander in Chief of the Asiatic Fleet, reported to the Navy Department from Manila that he had appointed a court of in- quiry “to investigate the circum- stances surrouding the death of Lieut. Langdon.” He added that he, with m rs of the court, would leave Manila next Thursday aboard his Magship, the troop transport Huron, for Vladivostok. Renewed assurances of regret over the affair came from the Japanese Government in a note transmit- ted to the State Department through Baron Shidehara, the Japanese Am- + This note also indicated that the Japanese Government was Gesirous of preventing a recurrence of such a happening, and despatches announced that the Japanese military authorities at Viadivostok had been instracted not to challenge Americans in the future, The note transmitted to Tokio jast night was more comprehensive than @ mere inquiry into the killing of Lieut. Langdon. It is understood that it questioned the right of Japanese soldiers to challenge Americans in Viadivostok and insisted upon such alteration of the Japanese attitude as to make impossible a recurrence of such an Incident, ‘The note js said to have reminded the Foreign Office at Tokio that this was not the first unpleasant entounter between Japanese and Americans, and to have alleged that in a majority of the cases, according to information reaching the State Department, the Japanese appear to have been the aggressors. — COTTON MILLS OPEN, SOME ON FULL TIME Work Is Provided for Nearly 10,000 Hands in Connecticut 7 Factories.
