CASES
TO COME UP SOON
U. S. Is Prepared to Proceed
With Those Pending in
Supreme Court.

The government is ready to proceed
with all antitrust cases pending in
the Supreme Court. They will be ar
gued during the term beginning Octo-
ber 6, unless some Of the defendants
obtain a continuance. Rumors that
some cases. held in allegiance during
the war, would be dropped are with
out foundation, it was learned today
authoritatively.
Coal Case Up First.
The anthracite coal cases, against
the Lehigh Valley and Reading COM
panies. will be called first and will
be followed by the case against the
United States Steel Corporation. These
will be submitted to the court in the
first week of the term.
For convenience of counsel, the re-
naming cases will be scattered over
a period Of weeks and the action
against the Quaker Oats Company
probably will not be heard until the
first of the year. because of difficulty
in getting the records printed con-
cerning which stipulation already
has been filed with the court.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
ATLANTIC CITY. N. J., September
20.-"Congress ping ponged" all sum-
mer. Thomas r. Marshall. Vice Prest-
dent Of the United States, delivered
himself OF that indictment Of legisla-
tive deliberation' in the Traymore to-
day, when he received a rush" dis
patch advising him that It was of the
utmost Importance he should forego
the pleasure of the Boardwalk and
return to Washington forthwith.
"It is pity they cannot let mere
Vice President taste some of the joys
of leisure without playing hob with
his vacation plans in this wise,' Mr..
Marshall protested. ut wouldn't be
bad If Congress had not ping ponged
all summer"
"Action Delayed Too Long"
"The utmost changes possible are
mild reservations. embracing the
Presidents explanation of the treaty"
he asserted. Action already has been
delayed too long. The majority Of the
American people now are undoubtedly
for the league Of nations The con-
tenti0ns of the opposition that the
covenant takes from Congress power
to declare war has been proved un-
founded.
"The adoption Of the treaty with
the covenant will act as a needed
-steadying influence throughout the
world. Many countries are in tur-
moil now because of uncertainty. The
provision for so-called self-determin-
alton has had most remarkable ef-
feet in bringing forward demands
from scores Of races and groups of
peoples. The Irish, the Greeks, Lith-
uanians, Let's and many others have
appealed with great fervor for recog-
milton. Some of these appeals are en-
livened with a touch of humor. Re-
Gently I received this telegram: We
rely on you for our freedom Egyptian
ladies'
"It was a matter Of regret that it
was not within my province to COM
ply with this appeal and thus go
down in history as the 'emancipator
| Of the harem.'
Sees League as Forum.
THE league of nations covenant
will provide a forum in which to ad-
| just inequalities and to rectify in
| justices, and 1 have no doubt that
under it's operation abuses hereto
fore practiced against minority races
| will be largely abolished. The early
| adoption of the treaty is bound to
go far toward readjustment and re-
habilitation of commercial relations
among the nations, and that is of
| supreme Importance"

needed more good. old-fashioned

Regarded as Ideal Location.

The hut, it was pointed out, would
be an ideal place for the sale of the
goods, and very desirable in view of
the fact that the War Department
found it impossible to find a vacant
storeroom in the downtown section
large enough for the purposes Of the
sale.
The sale is to include socks, UNDER
wear. blankets. reclaimed .shoes, and
all similar articles used by the Army.
It is probable that all Army food
which the Post Office mas not dis
posed of by the cad of this week also
will be sold at ne same store with
the wearing aana;el.

Calls Objections Trivial.

There may be in the treaty fea-
lures which do not meet universal
approval 1t would be strange if it
were otherwise. But the objections
which have been made to certain pro-
visions are trivial compared with the
imperative need of peace.
I'VE ought to have peace at once.
The treaty should be ratified without
delay and without change.
1T is a narrow-minded statesman
ship which would endanger the going
into effect of the treaty by changing
its provisions and thereby postponine
the return of peace. 1 cannot COM
prehend how any man with a true
appreciation of the situation, much
less one who shares the RESPONSE
bility, can permit any objection less
than the impairment of the national
sovereignty of the United States, to
weigh against the universal prayer of
the nation for ahe restoration of
peace.
Let the treaty be Immediately rati-
fled and let US go forward with the
great task which lies before u.s. The
world demands it; patriotism de-
mands it; common sense demands it.
We have already waited far too long"

LACK A REAL CLUE
TO WOODS SLAYER
H. A. Starr, Held in Cincin-
natl, Expresses Surprise.
Denies Alleged Theft.
JOSEPH SYLVIA SOUGHT

After two days Of vigorous investi-
cation, the police were still without
definite information last night to
show who killed twenty-year-old En-
NETT E. Wood, whose body was found
Friday morning in the basement un-
der Liggett's. drug store at 14th and
F streets, where he was employed as
a soda clerk.
Desectives have not given up hope,
however, and are confident the next
fcrty-eight hours will bring develop
ments. They spent yesterday ques-
tioning several employees Of the drug
store, in an effort to uncover some
clue that would lead them to the man
or men who struck Wood the fatal
blow on the head with piece of iron
pipe in the basement.
Starr Expresses Surprise.
Henry A. Starr, suspended police
man, who was arrested in Cincinnati
late Thursday in connection with the
investigation of the murder, expressed
surprise in Cincinnati last night when
told of the crime. He declared he had
never before heard Of the murder.
He denied having run away with the
$5327S he IS alleged to have taken
from the Liggett store at 41S 7th street,
where he was employed.
Would Locate Joseph Sylvia.
Mai. Raymond w. Pullman, super
intendent of pole. and Inspector Cliff
ford L. Grant, chief of detectives, are.
anxious to locate Joseph Sylvia, for
mer superintendent of the soda busi-
ness in the Ligget store. 1t was due
to the receipt of a message from
Parkersburg, w. Va, bearing a sig
nature similar to that of Sylvia. it
is stated, that Starr was apprehend-
ed in Cincinnati.
Satisfied that Sylvia was on the
train on which Starr went to Cincin-
natl, Inspector Grant wired the st.
Louis police to arrest Sylvia should
he arrive there.
SyIvia's conduct in advising his for
mer employer of the whereabouts of
Starr is taken by the police to indi-
cate a desire on his part to assist or
to indicate that he and Starr were
not on the best Of terms.
Sylvia was not found by the police
of Cincinnati when they captured
Starr.
1t was said at police headquarters
that Sylvia is wanted because of his
acquaintance with Wood. 1t was for
the purpose of presenting him gold
ring that Wood took up a collection
among the soda fountain employees
Police feel reasonably certain that
the ring was not purchased, and. it
is stated. have been told of remarks
Sylvia is said to have made because
of his disappointment.

PREPARE FOR SESSION
Provisional Secretary General De.
clares Britain Cannot Produce
Food She Needs.

Out of the international labor con-
ference, which will be held in WASH
ington beginning October %. may
come a stabilization of international
economic conditions. At least there Is
hope that it will help. If an agree
ment can be reached on hours of work
done weekly. say a -eight-hour
or fifty-hour work week in each coun-
try. a difficult phase of the problem
will have been solved.
That is about the way Harold B.
Butler of England, provisional secre-
tary-general of the conference. re-
piled to a question regarding the pos
on the muddled state of affairs preva-
lent in practically every nation-the
puzzle of living costs, wages. produc-
ton. trade, and SO forth. Mr.. Butler
and two secretaries are staying at the
Willard Hotel. He has been in Amer
lea a week, arriving in Washington
Friday night from Ottawa. Canada.
where he looked in upon the Dominion
Industrial conference. He will assist
Department of Labor officials in pre-
pairing for the conference here.
Comes Ahead of Others. -
Mr.. Butler has come to Washington
somewhat in advance of the organizing
committee of the international body,
which is composed of Arthur Fontaines
chairman, who is director in the
French ministry Of labor; DR.. G. Dt
Palma of the Italian immigration serv-
ice, Sir Malcolm Delevingne, an as
sistant under secretary of state in the
British home office; Prof. w. Z. Rap
pard of Switzerland, Minoru Okla Of
Japan, Prof. Ernest Mahaim of Bel
gium and Samuel Gompers, president
of the American Federation of Labor.
The provisional secretary general Of
the conference would not venture an
opinion regarding probable political
conditions hinging on an acute eco-
nomic situation in the British Isles
and in Europe proper during the COM
ing winter. Questions covering these
matters-drawn from fresh reports by
American observers that grave danger
of revolution irppends unless America
can furnish Europe with an abundance
of food and fuel-were submitted to
Mr.. Butler.

town, erected by the government to

contenting himself with saying that
the treaty as it is should be ratified.
I'VE are approaching a new era," he
said; IAN era of peace. and, as / con-
fidently believe, an era of national
prosperity unsurpassed in our his
tory. The people of the earth ardently
long to enter upon this era, SO that
they may begin to rebuild that which
has been destroyed. This cannot be
done until normal commercial and in
dustrial conditions are restored, and
they can only be restored in one way,
and that is by ratifying the treaty of
peace which now lies on the table
in the United States Senate The eco
nomic life of the world will continue

Of uncertainty until the Senate con-
