Wilson Says All Claims for
| Self-DeterminatiOn Could
Be Taken Up
NO JURISDICTION
IN IRELAND'S CASE
That Was Why It Was Not Allowed a
Hearing at Peace Conference.-The
clares His Attitude on Irish Question
Is Expressed In Article IL.

ON BOARD PRESIDENT WILSON'S
TRAIN, Sept. l7.-Setting forth his in
depreciation of the league of nations
covenant as it affects Ireland, President
Wilson said in a statement today that
the league would constitute a forum be-
fore which could be brought all claims
for self determination which are likely
to affect the peace of the world
THE covenant would not bind the
United States to assist in putting down
rebellion in any foreign country" he
asserted, nor would it limit the power
of this country to recognize the indie
pendenee OF any people who seek to Sc
cure freedom"
He said Ireland's case was not heard
at Versailles because it did not come
under the jurisdiction of the peace con
ference. The statement was in reply
to series of questions sent to him by
the San Francisco labor council
Replying directly TO question as tC
his attitude toward self determination
for Ireland he says his position was ex
pressed in article IL of the covenant un
der which it is declared that any nation
can call the attention of the league t,
any circumstance whatever affecting in
ternational relations which threatens t,
disturb international peace or the gooC
understanding between nations upol
which peace depends.

of welcome to the first division and Gen
eral Pershing.

CHANCELLOR DAY
ATTACKED WILSON
Declares the President is Trying to
Start Strike Against the Senate
Should Return to His Work.

SYRACUSE, Sept l7-Chancellor
James R. Day opened the fall term at
Syracuse university yesterday with an
address to the students which he took
up entirely with an attack on Presi-
dent Wilson s tour for the league of
nations He bitterly assailed the Presi-
dent as an advocate of "blind, unthink
ing socialism, in attempting to bring
about the internationalism which he
construed to be necessary under the
league covenant The chancellor made
an earnest appeal for loyalty to the gov
ernment of the United States as rep
resented by the senate, and said that
the best thing the President could do
would be to take the first train back
to Washington and ''attend TO bust
ness +"
= We have the spectacle of the Presi-
dent of the United States making a con-
tinuous tour across the country with an
appeal to all who care to come to bear
him that the people of these United
States strike against the United States
government. said Chancellor Day
Why does he make this appeal? Be
cause the senate does not agree Will
him.
| .'It NAV be that | am not thinking
correctly, but if ! am, the great ISSUE
| before us is not the covenant of tn,
| league of nations, or the treaty, but
whether the senate shall be permitted
to do its work without the violent epi
| thets that have been hurled at it. Il
the people forget that, we shall drift
! into anarchy.

SENATE TO PUBLISH
MEXICO DOCUMENTS
Fall Asks State Department for Full
File of Correspondence as Might
Serve to Clarity Situation.

WASHINGTON, Sept. I.-Practical-
ly the entire file of correspondence be-
tween the Mexican and American gov
ernments, it is expected, will become
part of the records of the senate for
eign relations ub-committee investi-
eating the Mexican situation.
Chairman Fall On. NJ of the sub
committee disclosed yesterday in the
course of his examination of Frederick
Watrous, an attorney representing oil
and land interests III Mexico, that the
committee had. asked the state depart
ment to produce protests made by the
United States to Mexico, Mexico s
answers and such other correspondence
and documents as might serve to clarity
the situation.
Senator Fall added that he knew of
no reason why the department would
withhold any information at its dis
posal, but that a part of it. especially
that relating to certain claims, might
be read in executive session.
Witnesses heard yesterday were
Charles II. Boynton, executive director
of the Society for the Protection o1
American Rights in Mexico; George L
! Edmunds, a newspaper man once con
nected with Carranza s publicity or
ganization, and Mr. Watrous.
Mr.. Boynton denied his organization
was engaged in effort to bring abou
intervention in Mexico and Mr.. Wat
rous defended the association of OF
producers, insisting that it was at
tempted only to gain for the owners 0
oil lands in Mexico the rights to whic1
their titles entitled them

BOSTON, Sept. 17.-Striking police
men viii not be re-instated under any
conditions This was reiterated today
at police headquarters when attention
was directed to the construction placed
in some quarters ON an amendment, to
the department rules announced last
night. 1t had been pointed out that the
danger which would permit suspension
as q penalty for violation of regulations
might be construed as leaving a loop
hole by which some of the older men of
the department who previous to the
strike had served the city long and
faithfully might regain their positions
Commissioner Curtis declared, however
that the change was made TO meet new
conditions and had no bearing whatever
ton the present situation.
In support of the commissioner 5 at
titude James II. Devlin, jr., his secre
tary and counsel said "there is ne
chance for those who abandoned theil
positions to return to the department
at any time. They are through. Th
force will be rebuilt from new men,"

who were on vacations or sick leav

Jury Impaneled in County
COurt-Case Starts
at 2 Today
ESTATE AMOUNTS
TO ABOUT $4,000
Case of Pixley Against Mrs. Bullock
for Damages for Horsewhipping Set
tled-Defendant Thinks Some Good
Has Been Accomplished.

In county court at Newfane yester-
day afternoon the Is talesmen sum-
moned Saturday by Sheriff Frank L.
Wellman were given the oath as jurors
and recess was taken to this morning,
when the contest over the will of the
late John Nesbitt was taken up. 1t is
expected that the case will last a week
The jury was inpaneled this forenoon,
and the trial of the case was begun at
2 o'clock this afternoon.
The estate amounts TO about $4,000.
FL. G. and +. E. Barber of Barber, Bar
Der & Miller and c. S. Chase of Chase &
Hughes appear for the contestants, and
j. n. Harvey and NJ P. Maurice of Har-
vey, Maurice & Whitney appear for the
bank.
Mr.. Nesbitt, who was a Brattleboro
farmer, died in February of this year.
His viii, which named the Peoples Ma
tional bank as executor, was allowed by
the probate court, there being no con-
test then.
The will gave two of the sons 81 each,
and the balance was given to four other
sons and daughters and the two chill
dren of a deceased son, the principal to
be held in trust and the income only TO
be given TO the heirs, except in case of
| actual necessity.
Julius Nesbitt and John j. Nesbitt, jr.
| appealed from the allowance of the will.
| and all the other heirs have since joined
! in contesting it.
1t is alleged by the contestants that
| the will was not properly executed, that
| Mr.. Nesbitt was mentally incompetent
| to make viii and that undue influence
was used upon him.
The case of George Fl. Pixley of Brat
tleboro against Mrs. Mary c. Burrloek
of Guilford, which was to have been
| tried yesterday, was settled, the defen-
dant paying the plaintiff a small sum.
| This was suit growing out of horse
| whipping which Mrs. Bullock admins
tered to Pixley in Brattleboro las,
| March because of his failure to pay for
wood bought of her and because of re.
marks which he made when she asked
him for the money.
| Mrs. Bullock says she was too busy on
the farm to go up to Newfane TO try the
case and besides was not feeling well
but she feels that the incident has beer
of benefit to others and she got some
satisfaction out of it herself

LONDON. Sept. H.-Fiume has been
isolated from the world by the Italian
government which is apparently taking
steps to meet the situation that has
arisen through the action of Captain
d'Annunzio in forcibly taking posses

was drawn yesterday and since that
time little has been learned of events in
the city.
