matter failing of settlement by dipio-
macy shall be the subject OF investi-
CATION by the impartial commission
provided for in the treaty.
At least ono European diplomat has
notified Mr.. Bryan that IL his gov
eminent consents to sign one of the
treaties IL will Immediately ask that
several matters of dispute with the
United States be turned over to the
proposed commission for investigation.
These matters this European govern
ment has been trying to get settled for
a long time. but has failed to obtain
satisfaction at the hands of the United
states Its officers now see in the
Bryan treaties an opportunity to serve
the interest of that nation and force the
hands of the United States.
This notice, IL is said. was much of
a surprise to the secretary of state.
who has Indicated that he regarded
his treaties as designed more for the
prevention of war than for the purpose
Of settling disputes of a minor char
acter.
The impression has gained ground
In some quarters here that the admin =

ties by the government referred To were

WITH JAIL SENTENCE
Ex-Congressman Littauer and
His Brother Get Six Months
and Heavy Fine for Snug
ling Diamond Tiara.

in the United States District court.
sentenced ex-CongressmRn Lucius n.
Littauer and his brother, William Lit
tauer, to prison terms Of six months
each, as well filming them $1,000 apiece
today The judge announced, however,
that the brothers who had pleaded
guilty to smuggling a diamond tiara
into the country. would be released on
suspended sentence for the period of
five years.
The nominal sentence, however. was
the severest ever handed out in a
smuggling case. in this district. AS to
whether il deprives the Littauers of
their rights of citizenship is yet to be
determined There is a prevailing
opinion among federal authorities that
1T does.
The judge said that he indicted a
Jail sentence with notifications SO that
~ the practice of smuggling continued
undated there would be no opportuni-
~ for further asking the courts not
to infiict Jail penalty ON account of
wealth. social prominence and the high
standing Of those hereafter presented
for similar violations"
r Judge FhumaS mnie 1t clear that he
was allowing the Littauers TO go free
only on the consideration that their
plea OF guilty had saved the govern
ment the expense Of trial: that they
made full restitution OF their civil liza
bility by paying $4,000 to the govern
ment; and that Lucius Littauers. ac-
cording to the statement Of . reputa-
BILE physician, is afiiicted with dia-
