 DEALS WITH MANDATES

Geneva, Nov. 29 (By the A. P).-Re- moval of the mandates commission as far as possible frcm governmental influence was the task undertaken by the council of the league of nations, today, It was decided that the members of this conrais- sion shall be appointed by the council on personal merits and competency ard that they shall not occupy any position in- yolving dependency upon their govern ment
 The mandates question occupied aln1os. the entire session and necessarily post poned the election of a successor to Sir , Reginald Tower as high commissioner al Danzig. M.

 The French government will be invited l to arrange for the transportation and sustenance of the league military expedi- | ton to Wilma.
 The mandates commission will include
 one member named by the international ] labor organization, who will attend all the
 meetings in an advisory capacity only when questions of interest to labor are

opportunities to do good but they are in mems hearts, not in my checkbook. A preacher in the name of Christ said this million should have been turned to good He thinks that Gods work is paid for In dollars. Gods work will never be done until men see that this theory Is untrue"
 MT. Garland's statement was made from his home here, former inn to stagecoach days. The young man, who is 22 years of age. is living at the house with his wife and infant daughter as the guest of his mother, Mrs. Marie Tu- dor Green, who supplies them with maid and keeps their larder full. He plans to go to work eventually, he said, but a year at Harvard college which he left to get married and preparatory schooling in this country and in Eng land fitted him for no work ready at hand, and he said he thought it would be spring before he found anything. Mrs. Garland joined with him in his denunci- alton of the million, Garland says. His mother, although not holding the same views, has told him to do what he thought right.
 In another, house on the estates lives, James A. Garland. Sd, a brother of Charles Garland. who has accepted his share of his fathers estate, made larger by the fact that the mother of the boys abandoned her rights in order to marry Francis Greene after the death of her first husband. At Harvard college is Hamilton Garland, a third son, who lacks several months of reaching his majority. His brother Charles said today that he understood Hamilton also was consid- erlns refusal to take his share when he became of age. Their ideas on the sub
 ject were somewhat similar, he said. although influences of education and en- vironment were not identical
 Garland indicated that his refusal tc
 take the money was not based on any | question attached to the origin of the Garland fortune. saying he did not know l from what source it was derived, but ht believed lt cane down from his grand 1 father.

Buzzards Bay, Mass. Nov. 2s.-l harles Garland the young man who has cnounced his right to a million dollar eracv left him by his father, James A. Garland who was a wealthy clubman and yachtsrnan of Boston. today made formal statement of his reasons TOT rejecting the money. His statement, he said vas due to the fact that the many re- ports of his failure to accept the legacy had failed properly to present his posi- ton.
 T refuse to accept the money because 1t Is not mine." was young Garland's summary of his action. "A system which staryes thousands while hundreds are stuffed condemns itself. system which leaves a sick woman helpless and offers it's services to a healthy man con dernns itself It is such a system that offers me q million dollars, he con tinued.
 -It is blind to the simplest truth known 10 every child. the truth that the hun rry should be fed and the naked cloth ed have had to choose between the loss of private property and the law which is written in every human heart | chose the one which l believe to De true"
 Garland. who has stated that he re- nouncrd his claim to the million dol- lars because he thought Christ would have done the same. continued:
 T believe could do no good with the money. IL is the man who gives food to the hungry who does good, not the dollars given in exchange for the food. would be happy to be the man if l had the food to give. but l cannot lend my self to handling the money that is not mine even though the good that might be done Is possibly great"
 Many people have written to tell him what could be done with the money he said .sThey seem almost proud to point ost the mower that 1 have in my hands hut it is the most pitiful thing they could point to- You cannot serve God and Mammon.' So many people ready tc serve the dollar means so many less ready 10 serve. God. There are greal
