PARIS, Jan. 16.--The league of ma
tions became a reality today.
It's first session convened at 10:15
a. m in the famous CLOCK room" of
the French foreign office. Leon
Bourgeois. president of the French
Society for the League Of Nations
and president OF the French senate,
presided.
Bourgeois delivered the opening
address, followed by Earl Curzon, OF
Great Britain secretary for foreign
/ affairs.
Immediately after the session con-
vened, Bourgeois was elected tempo
rary president.
"The league of nations has been
allotted several distinct tasks" Presi-
isdent Bourgeois said In his opening
! address First is the practical
execution OF the clauses OF the treaty
Of Versailles. Then the constitution
provides international organizations
for regulation of economic and social
life that will form the foundations
for the new era now opening. Finally
there is the international regulation
Of labor conditions to insure the well
fare of the workers and social peace,
towards which already much has
been accomplished"
The president then took up the
questions which the council must
settle Immediately under the terms
of the peace treaty and the league
covenant.
"Organization of the league will
not be complete until an assembly OF
all states comes together" Bourgeois
continued. Among the states invited
to join within two months after the
treaty Of peace became effective,
Spain. Argentina. Paraguay, Chile
and Persia already have accepted.
Even IL the league thus remains
incomplete until a later date today's
meeting, nevertheless, bears the
character Of first solemn act. To
day will go down in history as the
date Of the birth of the new world.
This decision is to be taken today IN
the name of the states adhering toi
the covenant Of the league. 1t vii!
be the first decree OF all free nations
lea yujng themselves together for the
first time in the history OF the world
to substitute right for might"
Referring to the failure OF the
United States to accept the league,
Bourgeois said:
"The task Of presiding at this
meeting and Inauguration OF the
greatest Of international institutions
should have fallen to President Will
son.
I'VE respect the reasons which still
delay the decision Of our Washington
friends, but we express hope these

ROBERT MILLER, As, farmer, re-
siding three miles from Amory.
LEONARD MILLER, 16 his son.
Is, his daughter.
AN EIGHT HT-MONTHS-OLD BABY.
The baby is alleged to have been
the child Of Charles Marshall, the
accused man, and his desire to pre-
vent the Miller girl from testifying
against him in a criminal assault Is
given by the authorities as the mo-
tive for the crime.
Marshall was under bond on a
charge of assaulting the Miller girl
about eighteen months ago. Follow
ing the assault, Miss MillePs baby
was born. Marshall was to have
gone to trial next month and Miss
Miller would have been the states
chief witness against him. Authori-
ties allege that he deliberately set
out to murder the whole Miller fami-
ly in order to prevent the -prosecu-
ton of the assault case.
Pearl Miller, 13, was the only men,
Der of the family to escape. She saw
the tragedy and her story resulted
in Marshall's arrest.
About Z o'clock last night, she
says, several dogs in the yard started
barking heonard Miller opened the

ed up a shotgun and followed. They
circled the house, but found nothing
suspicious. ...4
The father and son had just en-
tered the front hall when two shots
were fired in quick succession. Both
men fell dead on the floor of the
hall. A second later dynamite ex-
plosion rocked the house, tearing
away a large part of the kitchen.
Pearl Miller, terrified, ran to the
attic. Her sister, Fannie Green
Miller, ran into the hall, ciasping the
baby. A third shot was fired and
the sister fell dead near the bodies
OF her father and brother. The baby
crawled from her arms and began
creeping around the floor and over
the bodies.
Then Marshall entered, according
to Parl Miller, and saw the baby
crawling on the floor. He dubbed 1t
to death with the butt end OF his
rifle, she alleged. Pearl Miller was
looking down from the attic and
watched him, too terrified to make a
sound, she said.
She said that the murderer care.
