GENEVA, Dec. 16.--Whether the whole
mandate scheme of the covenant of
the League of Nations shall be fic-
ton or a fact became a burning issue
among the nations in the closing hours
OF the assembly meeting here to-day.
This has resulted from developments
in the assembly's mandate commits
sion. which show the commission has
practically been flouted by the league
council controlled by the mandatory
Powers in their own interests. their
attitude being virtually that the as
sembly has no power to interfere with
this part of the covenant, despite the
generally held theory by covenant
worshippers that the real authority of
the league rests in the assembly.
The situation existing here tonight
over the spois accruing from the man
dates is, according to competent OBJ
servers, certain to widen the breach
between the Powers holding permanent
membership in the council and those
whose representation is confined to the
assembly and who are now protesting
against being made the silent partners
Of this grand delusion.

The trouble followed an attempt to-
night on the part of Mayor Wadman
and Chief OF Police Hall to disarm a
group Of eight negroes who were
TO make war on the whites.
They refused to disarm and as soon
as the official left them they opened
fire on the whites who had accom-

later was shot deliberately killed young

the situation and The negroes soon DIS
appeared from the streets.
The negroes telephoned to Coffeyvllle

OF circumstantial evidence was woven.
He has been almost positively idenu-

also paid many Of his bills to-day with
money which answers the description OF
that taken from Wharton's cash register.
Late this afternoon tho shotgun used
by the murderer was found hidden in an

Lerroux, the Republican
leader, in an election speech de-
livered to-day declared that the
forthcoming elections would be
most important in that the men
chosen would have to deal with
particularly serious problems.
Among these, Lerroux declared,
was the menace of new world
conf1agration, in which Spain
probably would be unable to re-
main neutral. The speaker
pointed out that Great Britain
was increasing her naval power
and declared that the United
States was pursuing a policy of
building which presaged in the
near future great new interna-
tional troubles.
