DECISION AGAINST
PLAN OF PACKERS
REPORT ON PROPOSAL OF BIG
FIVE TO DISPOSE OF STOCK
YARDS.
Claim That Plan Now Presented to
Court viii Result In Greater
MonopolizatIon OF the stockyard
Service of the Country.

Washington. plan proposed by
the big five packers to dispose of their
stockyard interests to f. II. Prince &
Co. Of Boston will not result in the
separation of the stockyards from
packer interests, the federal trade
commission declared on Friday in re-
port to Attorney General Palmer
The commission gave two reasons
for its conclusion as follows:
"The longtime stockyards relations
OF II. III. Prince with the packers have
been such that the plan will moi re-
suit, in the opinion Of the commits
sion, In enforcement of the stock
yards from packer interest.
"The plan as outlined will result,
in the opinion of the commission, in
an infraction of the monopoly law of
of the land greater and more serious
than the existing infraction."
The packers plan to dispose OF the
stockyard interests was drawn up after
the filing of consent dissolution de-
cree In federal courts here, agreed
upon by the packers and the depart
ment of justice as result of anti
trust suits brought against the pack
ers at Chicago.
The commission recommended that
the proposed sale be not approved by
the attorney general.
THAT the plan now presented to the
court" said the commission, will re-
suit in greater monopolization of the
stockyard service of the country than
now exists is shown by the fact that
1t will amalgamate into one holding
company fifteen of the principal stock
yards In which the different packers
now hold varying interests. A single
holding company will own all fifteen
yards. This will be more extensive
stockyard monopoly. The fifteen yards
handle 70 per cent of the animals re-
ceiyed at all stockyard markets in the
country" a..

LEAGUE OF NATIONS
HAS PRACTICAL TASK
WILL ADJUST THE CONTROVERSY.
BETWEEN SWEDEN AND FIN
LAND OVER ALAND ISLANDS.
Action OF TWO Nations Places In the
Hands Of League an international
Dispute That Might Have Led
TO War

" VI a. b .
Paris Finland and Sweden have
agreed to accept the Intervention of
the league of nations for the settle
tnent of the dispute between them as
TO the possession Of the Aland Islands,
dying at the mouth OF the Gulf of Both
mia, between the two countries. A
commission win be appointed by the
executive council of the league TO in
vestigate the question and reach an
early decision
The acceptance OF the council as ar
bltrator is regarded by the members of
the council as long step toward the
recognition of the league by the ma
aions Of the world as medium for
the prevention of future wars.
The decision of Finland and Sweden
TO accept the intervention of the
league was taken at Saturdays meet
ing Of the council, which was attended
by Hjalmar Branting, the Swedish
premier, and M. Enckell, the Finnish
foreign minister. The council adopted
the report Of the committee of interna-
fional jurists, which had been appoint
ed to determine If the league had iurls-
diction In the case.
The action Of the two nations places
In the hands of the league an interna-
tional dispute which at one time was
thought might lead to war, and the
members of the council do not dis
guise their satisfaction over the de-
cision, which is pointed to as one of
the strongest expressions of support
and confidence the league has yet re-
ceived.
A commission of three has been Sc
lected to furnish the league In the
shortest possible time a report which
VIII enable 1t to frame either a final
or provisional settlement.
Premier Branting and Foreign Min
lister Enckeli both expressed their ap-
prevail Of the course of the council and
said they felt confident that solu-
ton acceptable to both Finland and
Sweden would soon be reached by that
body.
Sweden's claim to ownership of the
Aland Islands dates back more than
century. They belonged to her I'D
TO 1909, when they were taken by
Russia and attached to the province
of Finland Separated from Russia
as a consequence of the war and the
Russian revolution, Finland now
claims she is entitled to the continued
ownership of the group. Sweden is
setting up her previous ownership, to-
gether with the large preponderance
of Swedish population of the islands,
as reasons why they should now re-
vert to her.
In the spring of 1918, when warfare
between the White Guards and Bolshe-
Vik forces broke out in Finland, and
1t was reported the Germans planned
to make use Of the islands in connec-
ton with their operations In Finland
Sweden sent troops to, occupy the
islands.

BOMB PLOS|ON IN
HEART OF NEW YORK
TWENTY-flINE KILLED AND HUN
DREDS INJURED IN FINAN-
clAL CENTER.
Banking House of J. p. Morgan G. Co.,
the Subtreasury and Assay office
Partially Wrecked at Noon Hour
by Deafening Blast.

New York:-An explosion in Wall
street, near Broad, believed by trained
department of justice and police in
TeStigatOrS to have been caused by an
Internal machine, rocked the heart of
New YOrk'S financial district at noon
Thursday, leaving death and destruc-
ton in it's wake.
Twenty-nine persons were killed,
more than 200 were injured, the
banking house of J. p. Morgan 4 Co,
the subtreasury and the assay office
were partially wrecked and property
damage estimated in excess of 81 ,OOO,-
600 was caused.
Thomas w. Lamont, of the J. p.
Morgan firm, expressed the belief,
however, that the explosion was pure
ly an accident, caused by a collision
between an explOsive-laden wagon and
another vehicle. The firm had re-
ceiyed no threats of any kind, he said,
and there was no real reason for the
planting of bomb outside the firms
office.
The noon hour had struck and an
endless stream of office workers had
inst started pouring into the streets
from buildings in the neighbOrhood.
Suddenly, cloud of yellowish-black
smoke and a piercing jet of flame
leaped from the street outside the Nor
gan office.
Then came deafening blast. A
moment later scores of men, women
and children were lying PROSTATE on
the ground and the streets were COW
erGd with debris from thousands of
broken windows and the torn facades
of adjacent buildings.
Two minutes later the stock and
curb exchanges, the financial pulse of
the world, had closed. Panic and con-
fusion reigned in the heart of New
'York's financial district.
Evidence tending to confirm the the
DRY that the explosion was caused by
bomb or some other Internal ma
chine came from several sources.

Heavily In conflagration.
Filler, Ida.-Damage estimated at
more than 100000 resulted here Sep
TENDER II, when practically the entire
business district was wiped out by fire.
Cause of the blaze has not been deter
mined, but 1t started in the basement
of the Filler Mercantile company. Be
fore any effort to combat the flames
could be made it had spread to sur
rounding buildings and the entire
town seemed to be burning.
Efforts to combat the flames were
not effective on account of the low
pressure of the water system, and the
main buildings that were on fire be-
fore efforts to stop the blaze could be
started were doomed from the first.
Many are of the opinion that it was
of incendiary origin.

LEAGUE TRIBUNAL
IS GIVEN APPROVAL
WORLD COURT OF JUSTICE PLAN
MADE PUBLIC AT LEAGUE
HEADQUARTERS.
Projects Failure Would Be Regarded
as international Misfortune, in opin-
ion of Council; Governments Asked
to Express Individual Views.

LondOn.-The headquarters of the
league of nations on September IA
made public the text of the project
for permanent court of international
justice as adopted by The Hague COM
mittee of justice, of which Elihu Root
was member, together with a letter
from the council of the league to all
governments which have entered the
league. j.
The letter says: "rhe council do
not propose to express any opinion on
the merits of the scheme until they
have had full opportunity of consid-
ering It,"
1t states, however, that the project
was prepared by most competent tri-
bunal representing widely different
national points of view, and adds:
1.-THE council would regard as ire
concilable difference of opinion on the
merits of the scheme as an interna-
tional misfortune of the gravest kind.
1t would mean that the league was
publicly compelled to admit it's inca
pacity to carry out one of the most
important of the tasks which it was
invited to perform. The failure would
be great and probably irreparable for,
If agreement proves impossible under
circumstances apparently so favor
able, it is hard to see how and when
the task of securing 1t will be sue
cessfully resumed"
The council states it will later
submit it's recommendations to the
assembly of the league of nations.
The draft of the proposed world
court given out consists of sixty
two artivles, divided into three chap
tiers on organization, competence of
court and procedure. A preamble
states the general purposes of the
court as follows:
"a permanent court of information
al justice, to which all parties shall
have direct access, is hereby estab-
lished, in accordance with article
fourteen of the 'Cvenant of the league
of nations. This court shall be, in adj
ditiOn to the court of arbitration Or
ganized by The Hague convention of
1899 and 1907 and to the special tri-
bunals of arbitration to which states
are always at liberty to submit their
disputes for settlement"
Membership of Court.
Articles two and three give the
membership of the court as follows:
The permanent court of interna-
tional justice shall be composed of Il
body Of independent judges, elected
regardless of their nationality from
amongst persons of high moral char
acter who possess the qualifications
required in their respective countries,
for appointment to the highest judicial
offices, or are juSisconsultS of recog-
nized competence in international
law.
THE court shall consist of fifteen
members: Eleven judges and four
deputy Judges. The number of judges
and deputy judges may be hereafter
Increased by the assemblage upon the
proposal of the council Of the league
of nations, to total of fifteen judges
and six deputy judges"
