Cecil Advises
Probation for
Enemy Nations
Admission to League To
Be Denied Until They
Prove They Are Worthy

PARIS, Jan. 20 by The Associated
Press) s).-Germany, Austria, Bulgaria
and Turkey cannot be admitted to the
League of Nations at present, but they
should be allowed to join as soon as
the league is satisfied that they are en-
titled to be ranked among the trust
worth g4s ssasasf .sss4s.s.,.
This is the opinion expressed by
Lord Robert Cecil, who has just turned
over to the printer the British plan~for
the League of Nations which will be
submitted to the peace congress.
PARIS, Jan. 20.-The Committee of
Foreign Affairs of the Chamber Of
Deputies is considering a project pre-
sented by several members to make
Versailles the permanent seat of the
League of Nations
The British plan for the League of
has been completed. 1t was sent tc the
printer tonight
The decision that the league will be
outlined and organized by the beliger-
cnts alone is understood to be the
cause of some dissatisfaction among
the neutrals, who already are informal
ly discussing the matter among them
selves. Whether any formal action
will be taken by neutrals to voice their
protest is not yet known, but among
some of them there is said to be a
feeling that it would be neither fair
nor dignifed that they be afterward
asked to subscribe to covenant in the
making Of which they had no part.
The neutrals, it is understood, do not
claim participation in the discussion
of peace terms, because they took no
part in the war, but they contend that
league of nations is an international
institution independent of the war, and
that therefore no distinction should
be made between belligerents and non
belligerents.
1t also is contended that among the
neutrals there were several countries
whose anti-German feelings we're as
strong as among the Allies, but owing
to geographical positions and other
factors, they were forced to remain
neutral.

BurlesOn's New
'PhOneRates Go
In Effect Here
Schedule Is Operative Ex-
cept in States Which Have
Issued Restraining Orders

WASHINGTON, Jan. 20.-Nw toll and
long distance telephone rates approved
by Postmaster General Burleson will
become effective at midnight tonight,
except in those states where temporary
restraining orders against the COM
panles have been issued by the courts.
This announcement was made tonight
by W. H. Lamar, Solicitor of the Post
ofi1ce Department and member of the
Federal Wire Control Committee.
Mr.. Lamar had said during the day
thta the rates would become effective,
despite efforts of the state regulatory
bodies to suspend or modify them. So
Tar as the Postoffice Department had
been advised tonight, he said, restrain
ing orders have been issued in only two
states-lndiana and Mississippi. He
then had not been informed that courts
IN Illinois had taken similar action.
The Federal Court at Pensacola, Fla,
IS the only one in the United States
that has held full hearings and rem
dered decision on an application for
an injunction, Mr.. Lamar said, and its
decision to-day denied the restraining
order. He added that the court at Lin
coin, Neb., also has held hearing, but
ha snot yet rendered a decision.
Under the new rates as announced d
by Mr.. Burleson there will be a basic
charge CT GA mills mile airline mile
age, with half the day rate for night
service up to midnight and fourth
OF the day rate between that hour and
4:3O O'Clock in the morning
The new charges were recommended
IN thestirst report of the Committee on
Rate Standardization, and Mr.. Burleson
said their effect would be to eoualize
the toll and long distance charges over
the country IN many instances rates
az n ~
and this facJ led to efforts Ct some
state regulatory bodies to prevent the
new schedule from being put into effect,
Generally, however, there will be re-
duction in rates, according to the Post
master General.

Double Murder
Makes Seven in
City Unsolved
South Ozone Park Hotel
Man and Wife Shot by 4
Early Morning Customers

| Four gunmen yesterday shot and
killed Joseph Holbach, proprietor of
Holbach's Hall, at South Ozone Park,
Queens, and his wife, Helen, who had
come to his aid when the attack start
ed, while a dozen detectives we're
searching the same neighborhood for
the man who killed Mary Elizabeth
Rddel last Wednesday.
With the Holbachs the list of murder
mysteries in the greater city during
the past two weeks, for which the
police have found no solution, has been
increased to seven. Four were in the
Queens district.
Finger prints on beer glasses and
a new black velour hat bearing the
were all the clews the police had last
night to the four men who committed
the latest murder.
Holbach Tries to Fight
What aid the police might have ex-
pected from Holbach, who had started
to tell what he knew, was lost when he
died in st. Mary's Hospital, Jamaica,
yesterday afternoon.
The Holbach place is at Lahey Ave-
nue. and Rockaway Boulevard, not more
than mile from where Miss Riddell
was killed. and IS used largely as a
dance hall and meeting place for the
entire district. Holbach and his wife
were in the barroom early in the morn
ing when four young men, apparently
foreigners, entered and ordered DRINKS
They sat at q table an hour. Mrs.
Holbach retired to the living rooms
on the floor above.
The men became noisy, and Holbach
told them to have their final drink.
They protested, and the proprietor
asked them to leave. Then without
warning all four drew revolvers and
ordered Holbach to throw up his hands
The proprietor had 81 1000 in the cash
register behind the bar. Instead Of
nearest of the gunmen d blow in the
face.
Then the shooting began. Holbach
dropped with two bullets in his body
His wife, rushing in to aid him, fell
dead with bullet in her right breast
The men emptied their revolvers, then
ran out the side door.
Holbach dragged himself to the door
Of a neighbor and asked for aid. The
police were notified and soon reached
the hotel. They were given vague
description OF one OF the murders by
Holbach before he became unconscious.
Every detective in Queens County
| was ordered on the murder and addi-
tionaI men were sent from Manhattan
and Brooklyn. A Gordon was thrown
about the neighborhood, and police
dogs were put on the trail, but with
no rcsuslt so far
O'DonnelI's Story Still Doubted
Doubt Of the truth Of the story told
by Patrick O'DonncI, who Confessed"
on Saturday that he had killed Miss
Riddeil, has caused the police to re-
double their efforts to round up the
real murderer.
Assistant District Attorney Ryan Of
Queens came TO Manhattan Police
Headquarters yesterday to clear up
some Of the points in oDonnejl's story.
Two new $40 bills we're found in his
pocket when arrested. Miss Riddel was
paid that sum by her employers on the
night Of the murder. O'Donncll Is said
10 have received a similar amount from
the Waterman Pen Company, where he
worked. An effort is being made to
identity the bilIa.

Always Hostile
To Entente Nations
Caused Collapse of Rus
sia and Sent Food TO
Germany During War

PARIS, Jan. 30 (By The Associated
Press The two notable events of the
day were the meeting of the supreme
council TO consider the Russian sit
uation and the gala luncheon to Presi-
dent Wilson at Luxembourg Palace.
The meeting of the Supreme Coun-
ell was attended by President Wilson,
Secretary Lansing and representatives
of the other four great powers. An
hour was given over to hearing NJ
Noulens, the French Ambassador who
has just returned from Russia where
he personally witnessed the various
changes which have been taking place
in te government and conditions
there.
What he told the council was not
disclosed. but an authorized state
ment from NJ. Noulens sums up his
views thus:
"The Bolshevik power is the enemy
of the Entente. 1t is responsible for
the Russian detection from the En-
tente. 1t furnished Germany with
food during the war. It protested
against the terms Of the German armi-
stice. These acts show an uncom-
promising attitude of hostility against
the Entente.
Greatest Obstacle to Peace
Tyranny and terror, which are in
areasing daily, should place the bloody
chiefs at Moscow and Petrograd out
side the pale of humanity. No So
ciety of nations could deal with such
a regime, which constitutes to-day the
most serious obstacle to a general
peace. Until the regime is over
thrown. which / hope to see the AL
lies actively undertake, Europe will
continue to be exposed tc the severest
risks Of agitation and war"
NJ. Noulens will be followed to-mor-
row by the Danish Minister, II. Sea-
VENUS, along the same lines.
Official Statement Issued
The text of the official communique
covering to-day's session is as follows:
The President of the United States
of America and the Prime Ministers
and Foreign Ministers of the Allied
governments, assisted by Baron Ma
kino and the Japanese Ambassador
in Paris, met at the uai dOrsay
this morning between 1920 and 12
O'Clock. NJ. Noulens, the French
Ambassador to Russia, who returned
few days ago from Archangel, ad-
dressed the meeting and gave par
ticulars Of the situation in Russia
The next meeting Will take place
on Tuesday at 1920 o'clock in the
morning to hear the remarks of NJ.

that in the election to the National AS

Twenty-four of the S31 election dis

the Democratic party is surprising to
the politicians in view Of the fact that
Berlin always has been overwhelming

The day passed without any serious
disturbances in Berlin, but rumors
that the Spartacides intended to inter

resulted in all polling places being
occupied by soldiers when the voting
ended. There was some shooting
around the "Vorwarts" and other

Disturbances in Hamburg
Serious disturbances are reported to
have taken place in Hamburg, where
the Spartacides succeeded in prevent

Indications are that heavy vote
was cast. In some districts in Berlin

had cast their ballots before o'clock
in the afternoon
In the Ruhleben precinct the Ma
jority Socialists polled 1923 votes and
the Independent Socialists seven.
