that has arisen thru the collapse of
General Denikine's army in Southern
Russia and Bolsheviki penetration of

of a large copper can. about the size
of a five gallon oil can, to the top of

Award of 500, 900 Made TO Double of
Notorious Forger.

New York, Jan. ia verdict of
100000 damages for malicious prose-
cution was awarded in the supreme
court here today to Alexander P.
Macauley. a mining engineer of To-
ronto, against Theodore B. Starr, a
Fifth avenue jeweler, who mistook
Macauley for Christmas Keough, a
notorious forger, and had him ar
rested as the passer of a fraudulent
check. keough was later arrested in
Altoona. Pa, on other charges, posi-
lively identified as the principal in
the check case and now is serving a
term in state prison at Joliet, III.
The defense was that Keough is a
double of Macauley and photographs
produced in court showed a striking
resemblance. Macauley proved that
he was not in this city when a fraudu-
lent check was passed on the jeweier.
Macauley has suits for $25o,000 each
pending against two other New York
! firms 1t cost him $4,000 to clear
himself, he testified.

The scene in the CLOCK room was
in marked contrast when the first ses-
sion of the league council came to-
gether today to that meeting eleven
months ago when the league was born.
At that time, President Wilson and
the American delegation were the
most dominant and powerful figures.
Today the United States was not even
represented officially. Her name did
not figure either in the ch1rter mem
bers of the league or in the list of
those invited to join.
bourgeois Is Elected.
Its first session convened at 1926
n. m. in the famous "cloak room of
the French foreign office. Leon Bour-
geOis, president of the French society
for League of Nations and president
of the French senate. presided.
Bourgeois delivered the opening ad-
dress, followed by Earl Curzon of
Great Britain, secretary of state for
foreign affairs.
Immediately after the session con
vened, Bourgeois was elected tenn
porary president.
THE League of Nations has been al
Iotted several distinct tasks" President
Bourgeois said in his opening address.
First is practical execution of the
clauses Of the treaty of Versailles.
Then the constitution provides inter-
national organizations for regulation
of economic and social life that will
form the foundations for the new era
now opening. Finally there is the in
ternational regulation of labor condi-
tions to insure welfare of the work
ers and social peace towards which al
ready much has been accomplished"
Five New Members.
The president then took up the
questions which the council must set
tie Immediately under terms of the
peace treaty and the league covenant.
Organization of the league will not
be complete until assembly of all
states comes together" Bourgeois con-
tinued. 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 if the league thus remains in
complete until later date today's
meeting nevertheless bears the char
acter of first solemn act. Today will
go down in history as the date of the
birth of the new world This de-
cision is to be taken today in the name
of the states adhering to- the covenant
of the league. 1t will be the first
