Because of the sudden Illness Of John
Dampier. former dry bar owner, who
was scheduled to go to trial today in
the Criminal Court on a charge of-re-
ceiving stolen automobiles, the case was
continued before Special Judge James
Leathers. Several days ago q jury In the
Crir i nal Court failed to agree on YER
die and after being out nearly twenty
four hours. the Jury was excused.
Judge feathers did not continue the
case until DR.. Emmett Earl Rhoder, the
attending physician, appeared in court
and testified that Dampier's condition
was such that it was impossible for him
TO appear in court today.
During the last trial, the State intro
duced evidence tending to show that
Dampier had received at least eight
stolen machines and had entered into an
agreement with two young men to steal
cars. This Dampier denied.
A venire of one hundred was sum-
moned to appear this morning TO answer
questions pertaining to their qualifica-
tons to sit as jurors. The yenire was
excused by the court.
The doctor testified that he was called
to Dampier's home at o'clock this morn

SUBMITS PLANS
FOR TRIBUNAL
EXPLANATIONS
Committee Draft Provides for
u. S. Entry Into Court Sug-
gested for The Hague.

GENEVA, Dec. 13.-The German gov
eminent today presented a new note to
the assembly of the League of Nations
refusing to recognize the decision Of the
council of the league regarding the award
Of Eupen and Malmedy, formerly Ger
man territory. to Belgium.
The districts Of Uupen and Malmedy.
small parts Of west Prussia, were taken
away from Germany under the treaty Of
Versailles.
GENEVA, Dec. 1S.-The League Of
Nations assembly today began consid-
Grafton Of plans for an international
tribunal submitted by a committee OF
three members.
NJ Leon Bourgeois, French delegate,
presented the commissions report. The
hall Of reformation was filed with an
unusual crowd Of visitors who occupied
the balconies looking down On the rows
OF delegates at their scholastic looking
benches
Acknowledgement was made OF the
part played in drafting the tribunal plan
by Elihu Root
MediI Mccormick, Republican Senator
frsm the United States and widely
credited here with being an unofficial
observer for President-elect Harding was
one Of the assembIy's guests when BOur-
geois began reading his report
Bourgeois outlined the commission
plans for establishments of a tribunal
with headquarters at The Hague. He
said the court viii comprise eleven
judges, with four deputies. 10 meet In
annual session there. The sessions will
begin June Is Of each year and terminate
when the docket IS cleared.
Labor cases, he explained, will be
heard by a special chamber Of five
judges, to be appointed by the court.
Similar provisions were made for the
hearing Of transportation and commu-
nfcation disputes.
AS provided under the Versailles treaty,
Bourgeois said. the official languages Of
the tribunal will be French and English
Participation in the tribunal by the
United States is provided for in the
draft read by Bourgeois. 1t expressly
admitted TO the court nations which are
not members Of the league
A majority vote Of the judges Will de
eide all cases, according to the draft
presented to the league. In case of a
tie the president Of the tribunal will
cast the deciding vote. II it is desirable
the number Of judges may be increased
later from eleven TO fifteen. The num-
bers are selected for a term OF nine
years and may be reelected. Eleven
judges must sit IN every case, the rules
provide, and there must be AT least one
judge from each OF the nations repre-
scented in the dispute coming before the
tribunal
In opening debate on the tribunal
recommendations, Senator La Fontaine,
Belgium, strongly urged that the court
Jurisdiction be compulsory. Provision
fer participation in the tribunal by non-
ma bers was announced by Hagerup,
Norway, to be intended especially for
America, which was prominent in draft
ing the plan. The clause permitting this
participation assures nations outside the
league full equality before the tribunal.

RICH WIDOWS
DEATH SIFTED
Lafayette Man Expected to
Aid in Clearing Chicago
Mystery.

CHICAGO, Dec. 13.-H. C. May of La
fayette, Ind, general superintendent OF
the Monon railroad, and his wife, were
both present at the inquest today over
the body of Mrs. Minnie Viola Reyonlds,
rich widow. who was found dead in her
luxurious north side apartment.
Mays was ordered to testify at the in
quest when Coroner Hoffman learned that
the police had decided not to call him.
Nays took the stand. He declared he
had known Mrs. Reynolds for two years.
We were just good friends he said,
"and I acted as sort Of adviser to her.
She had several little financial transac-
ti0nS which failed and she brooded over
these. I loaned her some money and it
never went farther than that"
Mays was followed by Mrs. Jane Par
ker Of Maquoketa, Iowa, sister of Mrs.
Reynolds She corroborated Mays testi-
mony.
Mays testimony, authorities believe,
Will aid them IN clearing the mystery
surrounding Mrs. Reyonlds's death.
May, it is said, was the prlr cipal figure
in the dual existence Of Mrs. Reynolds,
who was also known as Mrs II. c.
May Various papers and articles Of
wearing apparel bearing the name of III.
{. May were FOUND In the apartment
occupied by Mrs. Reynolds.
Mrs. May, who lives in Lafayette, told
the police that she spent Saturday in
Chicago with her husband and that May
had told her Of Mrs. Reynolds's death
and Of the association Of his name with
the affair. She refused to reveal the
nature Of any statements made to her by
her husband.
Although the room in which Mrs Rey-
noldss body was found by an icemap
was filled with gas, circumstances sur
rounding the affair and the condition OF
the woman's body lead the police TO be-
lieve that It was not gas that caused her
death.
