@. How is the League OF. Ma
tions organized?
A. It's direction consists Of tive
bodies:
(1) The council.
(2) The assembly.
OF these, the smaller, more ac-.
tive, and therefore, more import
antant, will be the council. 1t Will
have---if we ratify the covenant
nine members, representing Great
Britain. France, Italy, Japan, the.
United States, and four smaller ma
tions. The five great powers, un-
less the covenant is amended, VIII
be Represented permanently. The
identity Of the four smaller ma
tions will be changed from time TO
time. At present these are Bel
GUM, Greece, Spain, and Bra
zil (?).
The larger. less active, and less
important brapach will be the as
sembly, comprising not more than
three representatives of each ma
ton having membership in the
!
/ league.
/ There will also be a permanent
| seeretariat, composed of experts,
attached to the council and as
sembly.
@. What are the relative func-
tions of the council and the as
sembly?
A. In theory, their functions are
the same; in practice the council
will do the most work. 1t Wall meet
freouently, while the assembly Will
meet al longer intervals (?). In
case of a sudden crisis threatening
war it would be more difficult 10
convene a prompt meeting or the
assembly than of the councu.
If you think of the council as q
hoard of directors and. of the as
sembly as meeting of stockhoid-
ers. YOU will have a helpful COM
, parison.
O. What, then, is the use OF the
assembly?
A. The most important use O.
tbe assembly will be to give TN

MANSFIELD ADVISES
SPRING 90 OF CAR

There's economy and also satisfac-
tion in giving your car the once-over
ir the spring, then If it needs replace
ments or anything else to bring 1t back
to perfect form, have it done as quick
" as possible" advises John d. Mans
field, general sales manager of the
bort Motor Car Company.
Naturally winters toll is most
severe and generally there is re-
minder or two. This is where the old
stitch in time principle works out.
When the car is restored to its best
shape, almost as good as the day it
was bought riding in it is far more
enjoyable, also it will fetch much
better price if you care to sell, or ex-
pect to trade it in on new car.
Letting a car run down is false
economy. Eventually it costs you
more and in the interim you are hap
piest when rolling along the high
ways.
Even little things you may think
OF no especial consequence develop
into big items in repair bills if allowed
to run on without interruption. Don't
overlook anything, particularly after
a winter such as we have had. Busy
as the repair men are now they will
be over their heads in work in a few
weeks.

WISCONSIN BOOZE DEALERS
III VICTIM OF FEDERAL RAID
(By Associated Press.)

Hurley, Wis, Dec. 29.-One of the
biggest hauls of bootleggers ever
pulled off in Wisconsin was conducted
here yesterday by special force OF
prohibition officers from Chicago.
Forty saloons were raided. Seventy
persons were arrested. Three big
loads of liquor were confiscated. The
prisoners and exhibits were taken
FIRST to Ironwood and thence to Ash
land, Wis, where the men were today
brought before a United States COM

GRADY HAMESOF
DAYTONA VICTIM
OF MOB VIOLENCE

Daytona, Dec. 29.-Arthur Hames,
who was kidnapped and badly beaten
Sunday night, testified yesterday af-
ternoon at the inquest into the death
of his son, Grady, killed by his as
sailants, that one of the men who at
tackled him said that his name was
Anderson" and that he was Federal
district attorney at Jacksonville.
Hames testified that he could iden-
tify this man and one other, both of
whom were unmasked. The other six
were masked he said. No arrests
have been made. The inquest was ad-
journed until Saturday, following
Hames' testimony.
Grady Hames, who died Monday,
was shot three times. 1t is said there
were eight men in the mob that went
to the Hames home. The younger man
was shot down while defending his
father.
The elder Hames was taken to the
woods and given a severe beating with
straps. He was tied to log before
the beating was administered.
The trouble grew out of stories to
the effect that Hames was intimate
with his own daughter. Also remarks
alleged to have been made by Hames
about other women of this section are
said to have caused trouble to pile
up for him.
Some ten days ago, it is said, a
group of men visited Hames' home
and warned him that if he did not
mend his ways he would be summar-
lily dealt with.
Sunday night about 10 o'clock the
men went to the apartments of the
Hames. The younger man was not at
home but arrived in time to take part
, in the struggle. Guns were drawn
ard the young Hames was shot three
times. The elder man was subdued
and carried out Of the house and
placed in an automobile and taken
several miles into the woods, where
he was tied to a log and severely
beaten. Then he was taken into an
automobile again and carried to a
point near DeLeon Springs, where he
was released. Later he made his way
back here and complained to the Of
fcers.
No arrests have been made.

NEGRO MURDERER
MAKES CONFESSION
BEFORE OFFICERS

Tampa, Dec. 29.-Tom Brown, the
Snegro arrested for the murder of AL
bert Chambers, the 7S-years old gro
Ger at Lutz, has made full confes
sion of his crime.
He told Detective Fred Thomas OF
the Thomas National Detective agen.
cy, that his real name was Tom
Bryant, that he lived at Mariana, and
was rs years old. Working at a camp
near Lutz he conceived the notion of
numbering and robbing Chambers.
Another negro, whose name he did
not divulge, was to help him, but this
negro backed out. He went to the
house where Chambers slept, made an
entrance into the bed room, and when
the aged grocer arose and asked who
was there, the negro struck him three
or four times with an axe.
He then rifled the premises, secur-
ing only a small sum, and went away.
Subsequently, dissatisfied with his
haul he returned, but got no money.
He said that Chambers was still alive
when he returned, snoring" as if
asleep.
The negro confessed his crime with
perfect stoicism, not seeming to real
ize the extent of his own guilt, or the
consequences it entailed. He was
warned by the officers that no immun-
ity or clemency was offered in return
for his confession.
