Opposes BumptiousSpirit
Brooklyn Audience Hears
Proposed Changes Dis
cussed and Explained

Replying to President Wilson's enc
compromise" declaration. William How
ard Taft told an audience which filed
the Brooklyn Academy Of Music yester-
day that he had studied the proposed
reservations to the league Of nations
and had found that compromise was
possible. The address on "The League
OF Nations Up to Date" was given un-
der the auspices Of the Brooklyn Insti-
tute of Arts and Sciences.
I'm in favor of the league as it ia,
without any reservations at ALL" said
the former President. "But I'm also in
favor Of it with the fourteen reserva-
tions. I want the league, reservations
or no reservations. and do not want it
obstructed by remediable differences. Z"
Mr.. Taft made his greatest objection
against the reservations on tho ground
OF OF form. he said that they were too
bumptious in spirit, although the sub
stance Of many of them was Of value
and Importance. He recommended that
they be .recast in more diplomatic
language, leaving out personal and polit-
lcal bias. when they would be accept
able to ALL He said that, above all,
the reservations should omit their
present Offensive assumption Of power
on the part Of the United States.b
Explains Fourteen Reservations
Taking up the fourteen reservations
one by one, Mr.. Taft said that six Of
them were interpretative, six others
qualifying, and, therefore, not actual
changes in the league covenant, but
means of clarifying it. He criticized
the preamble because it demanded the
ratitications Of three big nations.
whats the point Of rubbing this
ratification in. unless there's the hope
that the other side won't accept the
reservations? 2" he said. Recognition of
the American representatives, he said :,
should be sufficient, without further
ratification.

alist party has almost disappeared from
the scene and the Sim Fein has taken
its place.
Formerly the members Of the local
bodies went out Of office in patches,
one-third being elected yearly. Now a
clean sweep is to be made Of all-from
the administrators Of q whole county
to the administrators Of the smallest
district.
For the first time the voting will be
on q system Of proportional represen-
vote. This plan was adopted after a
successful experiment in the town of
Sligo. 1t gives a chance for the repre-
sentation Of minorities. Although the
Sinn Feiners had large majority in
Sligo all the parties got look in. The
object OF the change was to prevent
the Sim F6in from capturing local
bodies Wholesale, but it's chief oppo-
nents were Sir Edward Carson and the
Ulster Unionists, who have the same
superiority in the northeast corner
that the Sim F6in holds in the rest
Of Ireland.
Despite the advantages Of the plan
tor securing minority representation
the fact remains that voting organiza-
tlon Is telling factor even under this
system. 1t can prevent the waste Of
majority votes and spread its first pref
erences carefully over the whole ticket.
In this connection Sim Fein support
ers point to the organization Of that
body as being highly scientific, far
more effective and more ably conduct
ed, mostly by volunteer workers, than
any. other Organization in Ireland, now
or In the past.
There has not been the rush that
was expected Of candidates Of conced-
edly minority groups, who have pre-
tunity for representation. The demon
strated supremacy of the Sim Feiners
appears to have exercised a sort Of hyp-
motto effect, and neither the Unionists
nor tho Nationalists. some observers
predict, will be represented in proper
ton to their real numbers and infu-
ence.

Pole-Cat Finds Victory
In Death; Is Killed By
Automobile, But Ah, My!

People who reside in the neighbor-
hood Of North Eleventh and A streets
are firmly convinced that there should
be some effective legislation to pre-
vent polecats from wandering into the
city.
Sunday evening a polecat, which
was unwise to city ways, came to
Richmond and paid the price for his
adventure by giving UP his life under
the wheels of an automobile at North
Eleventh and A streets.
No one witnessed the tragedy, but
the residents of the neighborhood
soon realized that something awful
had happened.
Windows of houses for blocks
around were closed tightly and there
was a brisk dema nd for smelling salts
and camphor. Some people even
found it impossible to eat their break
fast Monday morning.
A poleoat was killed in College ave
nue. about two weeks ago by an auto
mobile, and the motorist was so over
come by the tragedy that he did not
use his machine again for several
days.

"IrnproDe Dance, Don't Ban
H." Appeal TO Methodists
BY Dance Masters Meeting
(By Associated Press)


NEW YORK, Aug. 23.-An appeal to
the Methodist church to help improve
the dance rather than maintain ban
which few church members obey" was
made in resolution adopted by the
American National Association Of
Master of Dancing at the four day con-
vention here today. The resolution, in
troduced by Benton T. Bott, OF Dayton,
O., president of the association, denied
that dances as taught were obviously
misleading in tendency" as character
ized in the ban.
After charging the Methodist church
with hampering dancing masters in
elevating the dance the resolution said
the American Red Cross and other
agencies paid deserved tribute to the
dance as educational entertainment
ard exercise.
Composers, music publishers, actors,
and others were urged to help improve
the rhythm Of dance music.
Dancing in many restaurants needs
more supervision, Mr.. Bott declared in
his opening address. 1t is the public
dances, poorly conducted, which re-
ceive and merit most public criticism.

ANTS Think ACTION
WILL stop SUFFRAGE
FOR 18 MONTHS more
(By Associated Press)

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Aug. 23.-Anu.
suffrage forces have taken additional
steps to prevent certification of the
federal suffrage amendment by the
Tennessee legislature.
Under an amended bill in court here
Saturday, Chief Clerks w. M. Carter
and John Green, of the senate and
house, respectively, were made par.
ties to the temporary injunction re
straining the governor and secretary
of state from taking any steps toward
certifying the ratification to Secre'
tary Colby.
Before this action was taken the
resolution ratifying the amendment
as adopted by the house had been
transmitted to the senate, but the
clerk must report receipt of the reso-
luton after which it is necessary for
the measure to be entered in the
journal.
Then it would be signed by the
engrossing clerk and transmitted to
the governor for his approval.
Opponents of Suffrage
Opponents of Suffrage declare their
action in amending the temporary In
junction will serve to prevent final
legislative action on the ratification,
at least until after the hearing on the
Injunction.
No date has been fixed for the hear
ing. It was believed by some of the
principals, however, that the case
might be heard late today or tomor
row.
The writ is returnable within five
days or agreement of the parties to
the action.
Says Legislature Had No Right
The Tennessee Constitutional league
which brought the suit on the ground:
that the legislature under the state
constitution had no right to ratify the
suffrage amendment, has announced
it will carry its fight, if necessary. te
United States Supreme Court.
: Officials of the league predict the in
junction will prevent women of the
| nation from voting for at least Is
| months. Suffragists today expressed
| the belief that litigation would be
protracted, and that ratification by
| Tennessee would be upheld by court:
| in time for women to vote in Novem
| ber.
