ROOTS PLAN
NOW ADOPTED
League of Nations, However,
Makes Vital Amendment
In Hague Court

Geneva. Nov. 20 by The Associated
PrcSS)--Thc committee presided over by
Loon Bourgeois. which has been cunSid-
ering the international court of justice
question, has virtually completed its
work, arriving al tho decision that the
plan prepared at The Hague ~hy Elihu
Root and other .juriStS shall stand as
amended by the League of Nations
Council At Brussels. \ Sub-committo2
of ten members was appointed today TO
draft a report along these lines.
1t will not be p"S%ibl" under the pl"n
for Il complaining nation to cite another
nation before the court, both sides to 4
controversy having - accept the juris-
diction Of the tribunal. Otherwise a
complainant can have recourse only to
the council of the lea que.
Elimination of obligatory jurisdiction
in the plan adopted by tho committee
was dur largely To British influence,
though some members Of lhr committee
who favored obligatory Jurisdiction vOt-
ed against it because they regarded 1t
as contrary To the League Of cations
covenant. The question Is not conSid-
cred as finally settled, however. II will
be pointed out that the action of the
assembly If 1t appears the amended plan
shall not he regarded as final disposition
of the matter that 1t may be rcopened
whenever it may be deemed advisable.
The assembly may decide between or
ganization Of the court under It's own
auspices with election Of judges at the
summer meeting and a request to the
Governments TO join in another confer

Special Dispatch TO The lnreligencer. .,
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, NY. 26-After an intense grling Of Peter D Tread
gy and Marie Phillips. extending intermttenuy over a twentyfour hour
period. the police tonight flashed instructions to all parts of the country TOT
the apprehension of Harry kendrick.
Kendrrk is believed to be the "A Smith" accused by TreadwaY OF
having beaten 70 death Henry T. Perce early Sunday morning at his apart
ment. 2O9 Market street Hendricks original home was in Wheeling. W;
Va. where Trnadway and the Phillips girl were captured. and where IN la
fight OF the four persons implicated lin the murder came to an end with the
breaking down OF Peirces powerful motor car.
So much further confirmation Of the theory that Perce came to his
death when a carefully planned fake "holdup" wen awry, was gained
TODAY. that the theory became an almost established fact.
Treadway and the Phillips girl were definitely connected today with
the other two whom they accuse OF doing the actual killing, when certain
details OF their story were smashed to bits by investigation.
1t has been established that Marie Phillips. or Williams, the pretty 49,
yearold chorus girl, met PIERCE som time prior TO the murder, and she is
believed to have arranged for the drinking party Saturday night when Petrce
a killed.
City Detectives Muldrew and Heanley, who were present at the capture
Of the pair in Wheeling last Wednesday. will proceed to Wheeling immedt-
atly to take up the trail Of the missing mar. The murder car will be
brought back from that city along the identical route taken by the muir
derers in the flight anu a thorough inquiry will be made all along the line
in order to gain a complete Identification OF those in the machine.
If W e get to Wheeling all right W e are safe" the man called Smith
is supposed to have said TO Treadway and the Phillips girl, a. they rushed
from Philadelphia.
Kendnck, also passed under the name, "Al Smith" According to under
world characters he used "Kendrck" or his mUeg enteel occupations, such
Is petty gambling. crap shooting. and pool playing, and assumed the
cognomen Smith" for his more dangerous u work.
