PLENARY SESSION TAKES Ac.
TIoN MOVED BY PRESIDENT
WILSON
NINE NATIONS START IN PACT
President Announces Englishman
Has Been Named Secretary
General Of League.

The revised covenant of the league
of nations was finally adopted at a
plenary session of the peace confer
ence Monday. Sir Eric Drummond
is to be first secretary-general of the
league, the headquarters of which
viii be Geneva, Switzerland.
Japan's ambition for clause in
the covenant dealing with racial
equality were not satisfied, but the
desires of France for an international
police force and limitation and veri-
fication of ornaments were not full
filed. Both Japan and France with
drew their proposed amendments, and
it is reported the league of nations
itself later will pass upon the merits
of the respective claims.
Incorporated in the peace treaty,
which is shortly to be delivered into
the hands Of German delegates at
Versailles, are two momentous claus
es. These call for the trial of the
former German emperor by an inter-
national tribunal consisting of FIVE
judges, on charge of "a supreme Of
fense against international morality
and the sanctity of treaties" and for
the trial by military courts of Ger
man officers who may be accused of
having violated the laws and Gus
toms of war.
The surrender of William Hohen-
zollern, who now is in Holland, and
of other persons required by the
courts, is to be demanded by the pow
ers.
The only big issue still outstand-
ing is Italy's claim with regard to
Fiume and the Dalmatian coastal
regions. President Ador of Switzer-
land has arrived in Paris and one re-
port is that he has been requested to
become the arbitrator in the dispute.
Another report, however, says his
visit is in connection with the inaug-
uration of the work of the league of
nations.
Considerable fighting has taken
place in Bremen, where Spartacan
forces have made an unsuccessful at
tempt to capture the city
Germany has been notified by the
president of the British Commission
in that country of the withdrawal of
the allies of all blacklists against her
and also the abolition of all trading
/
President Wilson in his speech ex-
the revised covenant of the
league of nations, said that Sir Eric
Drummond of Great Britain has
been named as the first secretary
general of the league.
Regarding the composition of the
council, the President said
hat Belgium, Brazil, Greece and
Spain would be represented on the
.ouncil, in addition to the five great
powers, until a permanent choice had
,een made.
The President said it was not ne
essary to emphasize the signifance
+ the great covenant and the hopes
that conference of the
rec nations of the world would main {
ain justice in their international re- {
ations and peace between the ma {
ions.
The South America representa- q
ives expressed approval at great a
sngth before the covenant was
dopted. q
When the decision was taken, Pres i
lent Wilson was surrounded by del
gates and friends, who congratulate ]
d him on the constitution of the f
,ague, which he had steered past ]
lany quicksands. a

Serious Shooting Affair

Pitran Street, near Broad, was the
scene of a lively and serious shooting
and clubbing affair near midnight on
Wednesday, which resulted in one man
having his head busted open and an
other was shot three times, in the leg,
arm and hand.
The scrap grew oct of a love affair
in which a pretty little girl, Ethel
Come, 16 years old, of Is Picman
Street, was the cause. John De Bris-
coe was visiting Ethel on Wednesday
night and when he came out of the
house to go home several bricks whiz-
zed by his head in close proximity
thereto. Then a crowd doomed up out
of the darkness. 1t was known that
Hugo Traville was jealous of De
Briscoe's attentions to Miss Come
and had made threats of what he
would do if they did not cease.
After the bricks were thrown there
was a general scrimmage in the mid
die of the street and it was there the
shooting took place. 1t is evident the
wrong man was shot. Moroth Licurzs,
one of the crowd, received three bull
cts in his body, one in the leg, another
in his arm and still another in his
hand. He was taken to Cooper Hos
pital, Camden, where it was reported
yesterday that while his condition was
not considered critical as yet, his
wounds were serious and they could
net tell what might develop.
Alfonso Joramano tore a paling
from a fence and began cracking De
Briscoe over the head until he had it
wide open and also a bad cut on the
wrist.
Chief Of Police Houseworth got into
the fracas later with his men and they
arrested Joramano and Hugo Traville.
They took an ugly lookink automatic
revolver away from Traville, and it
was empty. Joramano still had his
club when the police got hm.
At the hearing before Recorder
Duffy on Thursday afternoon, Traville
1dmitted that the gun belonged to him
and that he did the shooting. He was
remanded to the care Of Sheriff Milf
lin who was present to take him to
salem to await the result of the
shooting.
Joramano also admitted clubbing
De. Briscoe over the head but he
claimed it was self protection from the
crowd. He was held in $500 bail fol-
Court.
From the evidence adduced at the
hearing yesterday it seemed pretty
pain hat De Briscoe was the man the
bunch was after and that Traville
who did the shooting, was the insti,
gator of the affair. The girl testified
hat he had tried to entertain her a
different times and when repulseC
thfeatend her and anyone he might
see in her company with sudden death
