Session Held at Marion.
ASSOCIATION OF NATIONS

of His Experiences Abroad

ASSOCIATION OF NATIONS
By The Associated Press.

BY The Associated Press.
MARION, o., Dec. 13-Advice
on the plan for an association of ma
tions was sought by President-elect
Harding today from Elihu Root, for
mer secretary of state and more re-
Gently a conferee with leading Euro
pean statesmen, in the formation of
a world court under the Versailles
league covenant.
A conference. regarded as one of
the most important to be held by
Mr.. Harding. in his meeting of
minds" here, is understood to have
concerned chiefly the question of
how far the machinery of the pres
ent league may be used in building
n world peace concert acceptable to
the United States.
Throughout the leagues fight,
Mr.. Root advocated acceptance of
the Versailles covenant with reser-
vations, and during his world court
conferences abroad he expressed
much faith in some portions of the
covenant. Details of his talk with
Mr.. Harding were not revealed,
both he and the President-elect
saying his recommendations were
entirely confidential.
In asking Mr.. Roots advice Mr..
Harding is understood to have
sought in particular information
about the practical working of the
league as observed by the former
secretary of state during his visit to
Europe. Questions on the same
subject were put to Herbert Hoo
yer yesterday by Mr.. Harding, who
recommended that changes be used
I'm rearing the proposed association
of nations.
The visit of Mr.. Root again
brought his name into prominence
IN gossip about cabinet selections
OF the incoming administrations. 1t
has been suggested that Mr.. Hard
ing might ask him to again become
head of the state department. but
their meeting furnished no outward
evidence to support or discredit
that report.
DIR. John Wesley Hill, of New
York. also had an appointment with
Mr.. Harding today to discuss the
league and various other subjects.

1y Stan Correspondent.
NEW BRUNSWICK. Dec. 13. -
Otto Schuck. proprietor of saloon
at 412 George street, and Alfred
Johnson, colored. and employe of
Schuck, were arrested Saturday
night at different times by Rounds
man Heorge Cox and Patrolman
William Savage charged with SELL
ing liquor without license. Both
men were arraigned before Recorder
Tindell. pleaded not guilty yester-
day morning and were held in $500
bail each for the grand jury.
About 10 o'clock Saturday night
the two police officers went to
Schuck's saloon with a warrant for
Johnson's arrest on a charge of hav-
ing illegally sold liquor without a
license. AS the officers entered the
saloon they noticed that it was al
most filled with customers and they
heard buzzer in the back room
evidently a signal sent by the man
behind behind the bar to those in
the back room that the officers had
arrived.
Roundsman Cox and Patrolman
Savage rushed through the main
part of the saloon into the back room
Just in time to find Schuck pouring
out drinks for several men from q
bottle which was on the shelf of a
dumbwaiter. Before the men had an
opportunity to dispose of the drinks
which were whiskey, according to
the officers-the police had grabbed
them as evidence, and the bottle as
well.
Schuck. who lvies above the sa-
loon. is said to have kept a private
supply in his rooms and lowered it on
the dumbwaiter as it was sold to cer-
tain customers. Schuck was taken
to police headquarters. While there
the officers received tip that john
son, the man they wanted on the
first trip to Schuck's. was at that
time serving drinks in the saloon.
Officers Cox and Savage retraced
their steps to Schuck's saloon.
When they entered the front door.
the familiar buzz" again resounded
from the back room. The officers
again made a dash for the rear
room and there they found John
son standing near the dumbwaiter,
as had Schuck a short time before,
pouring ou. drinks.
Neither man would admit his
guilt when arraigned before the re-
corder yesterday morning despite
the fact the officers secured the
liquor as evidence in the case. They
said that as many persons as could
get into the back room. where the
"hot suff'' was being disposed of,
were found there. In the main por-
tion of the saloon 'near-beer" only
was being sold, it was said.

PRESIDENT URGES AID
FOR STARVING CHILDREN
By The Associated Press.

By The Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 13 - Presi-
dent Wilson today called upon his
fellow countrymen" to contribute
funds to save three and one-half
million children who ARE facing
starvation in central Europe" The
president announced that he would
adopt twenty children as his tem-
porary wards. and that SO contrib
uted through the European relief
council would save the life of one
child.
Three and a half million are fac
ing starvation in Central Europe"
said the presidents statement. 1T
is estimated that they can be tided
over until the next harvest by money
and service equivalent to $50 per
child. The countries involved can
furnish two thirds of this course in
the personnel and machinery for dis
tribution. but for the other one-third
they must look abroad and they are
looking to us.
Il suggest to my countrymen that
the circles around their Christmas
trees will be incomplete unless, min
gled with their own expcctant CHI
dren. they shall visualize some of the
waits of Central Europe stretching
out their thin hands to clutch from
the boughs of the trees. food. not
birds. without which they mast
perish"
