FUEL EXPERT IS
BEING TRIED BY
COURT-MARTIAL
Tried to Sell L. S. and Great
Britain Destructive Gases.
1t Is Charged

New York. March 24.-Captain
Edwin G. Weisgerber, engineer corps,
L. S. A., said to be one of the lead
ing gas experts in this country, is
being tried by court-martial at Gov
ernor's Island to-day, charged with
offences committed during war time
against the military services of
Great Britain and the United States.
One charge is that he sought to
sell to the British government a
synthetic fuel, an ingredient of which
is picric acid. Use of this fuel the
War Department charges. would
have resulted in the destruction of
any internal combustion engine in
the operation of which it might be
employed.
Another charge is that he recon-
mended the use of an Interchange
able standardized pipe connection
for oxygen containers. tanks and
regulators. Had it been adopted the
government alleges. dangerous con-
sequences to life and property might
nave lOllONtt.
The charge is made by the gov
ernment that the alleged acts Of
Captain Weisgerber were such as to
demonstrate his disloyalty to the
government of the United States and
his sympathy with its enemies"
Furthermore. Captain Weisgerber
is accused of having threatened to
withhold the use of his fuel inven-
tions from the army and navy of the
United States unless he and officer
friends were promoted to the rank
of colonel.
The last charge is that last June
he spoke disparaSingly of Captain

ly agreed what Germany can and
must pay. but a contention difficult OF
settlement has arisen as to the allot-
ment of damages TO the different allied
nations and over the preferential treat
ment claimed by some countries
The League of Nations commission,
which will resume consideration OF the
covenant article by article today, still
has to dispose of the proposed amend
ments by the French regarding the
maintenance of force TO protect mem
bers of the league from sudden attacks
and by the Japanese for equality OF
treatment of the nationals of all leagues
members.
President Wilson, it is said, intends
himself to propose some amendments,
one of which is supposed 10 relate TO
the Monroe doctrine. 1t was said here
that Senator Henry Cabot Lodge, of
Massachusetts, had declined TO submit
on his own responsibility amendments
on this or any other subject.
The President is said to be relying
on Attorney General Gregory and Lord
Robert Cecil. of the British delegation,
TO frame some amendment TO meet the
demands in America, so far as they can
be interpreted. in Paris. The main diff
ficulty has been to find phrasing which
is likely to be acceptable to the other
delegations.
A subject of smaller Importance that
is taking large place in the minds of
some of the delegates is the location
of the headquarters of the League of
Nations. Sharp rivalry for this honor
has made it necessary to refer the ques-
ton to a special subcommittee.

Gives Life in Burning Home
Trying to Save Brother

Philadelphia, March 24.-Lillian
Weiss, II years old, vainly sacrificed
her life, yesterday. in an attempt to
rescue her brother, Joseph, 20 years
old, from their burning home, at
70S North Front street.
The girl was dead from suffocation
when firemen carried her body from
the fire-swept building. The boy,
who still breathed, died in a police
patrol before Hahnemann Hospital
was reached.
Miss Weiss had gotten safely out
of the burning house, but plunged
again into the flames, when she
learned her brother was missing.
She climbed a fire escape, in the
rear, to the third floor, disregarding
the pleasings of her, mother, Mrs.
Sarah Weiss, to see to her own
safety.
