An Insult TO Intelligence

"Wo are Informed that ratification
of the treaty containing Article X will
embrcil us in every European quarrel.
That statement is an insult to Ameri-
can intelligence. There is a general
agreement of all members of the lea
que to maintain open and honorable
relations among themselves, there are
provisions for the reduction of costly
armanents, for an inquiry into every
quarrel by the Executive Coun-
Gil, there are provisions for refer-
ence of differences to arbitration, to
the Root Court of international JUS
tfce, and as a last resort there is the
economic boycott which no ration can
permanently ignort."
Article X says: The members of
the league undertake to respect and
as against external aggression
the territorial integrity and existing
political independence of ali members
of the league. These are almost the |
exact words of Ex- President Roose-
welt in the New York Times of Octo- |
ber IS, 1915. He said The nations |
should agree on certain rights which 1
should not be questioned such as terr-
torial integrity All should guarantee
ZACH of their number in possession of
hese rights. They should also agree
lot only to abide by the decision of

ELI R|LEY'S WIDOW
SEEKS INSURANCE

Mrs. Nellie May Riley, widow of
Eli Riley, an octogenarian retired
member of the police force today
filed her answer to the suit Of the
Metropolitan Police Relief Associa-
ton in the matter of the payment OF
81 900 insurance policy to the widow,
which the association claims should
be divided among the seven children
by a former marriage of Riley.
Mrs. Riley. represented by former
she paid out of her own money for
many years the membership and dues
of her husband in the relief associa-
ton and that her husband had no
right to revoke her act in insuring
him. as he was insane and incapable
at the time when his widow took out
the insurance. The widow denies the
right of the seven children in the in
surance money.
Mrs. Riley declares that she married
her husband April II, 1915, and that
they had no children. They lived to-
gcther until February last when her
husband was taken to st. Eliyabeths
for observation as to his sanity. The
widow alleges that Harry and Edward
Riley. sons of her husband by a for
NOR marriage removed the latter
without her consent from the hospital
and over after deprived her OF his
conjugal society until his death Of
which she was not informed but was
shocked into unconscIousness
by learning first thereof from the
daily press the evening of the day
afterwards . that while she was
made i'll by the sad intelligence for
several days, yet she WAS in no wise

Mrs. Riley cmphatically denies
that her husband had transferred his
insurance to his children as was al
legged by the latter and that II they
paid any dues on the insurance OF
their father they had done so with
out her knowledge. Mrs. Riley asks
the court TO order that she be
paid tho full amount of 900 insur.
ance on tho life of her husband

.SMO0T DROPS
BU|LD|NCPLAN
Heavy Legislation Forces Aban-
donment of Schedule to Get
Permanent Structures.

The proposed public buildings
plan, scheduled to be taken up at
this session Of Congress so that
the Government could get under
way a series Of buildings to house
Government departments now using
rented or temporary structures,
will be abandoned.
WOULD RESULT IN FAILURE.
The reason given is that any eff
fort this session would result in fall
ure and probably mitigate against
again, because OF the shortness OF
the session and the fear that the bill
would be lost In the jam.
Senator Smoot OF Utah. chairman
Of the Joint Public Building Commits
sion, who contemplated the enact
ment OF legislation at this session,
has changed his mind about IL. IL Is
said. after estimating the legislative
work OF the session since his return.
Tho commission held meeting
yesterday morning in the Senate
Office Building and went over sew
eral matters which are before 1t, and
the commission was OF the same
mind as Senator Smoot regarding
the starting OF q building plan. 1t
has always been the custom to hold
nothing but memorial services on
the Sabbath, but the urgency of
some OF the measures before the
commission, and the fact that the
Congressional members of the COM
mission are pretty much tied up
with legislative matters during the
week, is said to have been the rea-
son for the Sunday meeting.
LAND OFFICE GIVEN CONCERN.
The Land Office is giving the COM
mission much concern, it was said,
as many of the Government depart
ments have applied for the needed
space. or the applicants, the only
one which coluld be housed with all
its activities in it Is the Civil Service
Commission. but this body Is now oc.
cupying a rented building at what
the commission thinks is very rea-
sonable rental. while bureaus of the
other departments are paying big
rentals for office space. IT is be-
lieved that the commission will finally
decide to give the greater part OF the
building to the Treasury. which has
bureaus scattered all over the city.
The report OF the commission OH it's
activities during the year will be
made to Congress some time this
week.. Senator Smoot said, and Ii will
show that the commission saved the
Government nearly 100000 in allot-
ing space to Government activities
which were paying rent for private
buildings.
