BUENOS AIRES, Feb. 15.-Defnite
announcement from the government
as to Argentina's status relative to the
League of Nations is expected in the
near future. Although it's delegation
withdrew from the assembly of the
League there never has been, so far as
known, any official notification of the
country's withdrawal from the league
itself.
There are intimations that Argen-
tina never has considered herself an
original member of the organization
She is said to have merely sent a
delegate to the first meeting of the
assembly for the purpose of assisting
in it's establishment
Point Not Clarified.
This point has not yet been clarf-
fed by the government President
Yrigoyen in a recent interview with
a representative of a local German
newspaper, said he could not discuss
this subject until the return of foreign
minister Puerredon who reached this
city from Europe yesterday.
Admirers of the foreign minister
claim that during his visit in Europe
he gained more prestige than any Ar
gentine diplomat who had ever gone
abroad, and that by his stand before

10 YEAR OLD YOUTH
ADMITS PERJURY IN
DIVORCE PROCEEDINGS

William NJ Wilson, 19 years old,
pleaded guilty to a charge of perjury
in Wayne circuit court Tuesday morn
ing and in a sworn statement to Pros
ecutor Paul Beckett is said to have
incriminated Paul First for suborna-
tion or perjury.
Wilson was a material witness in
the divorce case of Paul First VS..
Anabelle First, which was tried in
Wayne corcuit court before Judge w.
A. Bond last Saturday. Mr. First was
given a divorce from his wife and Gus
tody of their three year old daughter
on a statutory charge. Frank Lam
caster was named as correspondent.
Wilson's Testimony.
According to the testimony Of Will
son which he gave in court last Sat
urday, Frank Lancaster paid him $50
not to testify at the trial. He stated,
according to the affidavit, that he
spent two days in Indianapolis as the
guest of Lancaster, as an inducement
not to testify at the trial.
Wilson admitted that this was un-
true when questioned by Attorney
Beckett He stated further that First
had promised him a check when the
trial was over as payment for his tes-
timony Wilson said he had not re-
ceived this check.
Frist to Appear.
An affidavit for Paul First, charging
subordination, who now lives at New
Paris, O., has been filed and his at
torney, Henry U. Johnson, states that
ne will have First appear and give
bond Tuesday afternoon.
Judge Bond took the case Of Wilson
under advisement, the youth and char
acter of the boy, and recommendation
of the prosecutor for leniency probably
will have influence in the decision.
The case of perjury now before the
local courts is the first of its kind for
several years, local officials state.

AIR MONOPOLY PLEA
IS Sent BY DANIELS
TO HOUSE COMMITTEE
(By Associated Press)

WASHINGTON. Feb. 15.-In a plea
for federal ownership of all high pow
er radio stations, Secretary Daniels in
a letter to Chairman Fage OF the SEN
ate naval committee today declared
that 'if there is one thing in which
there should be monopoly it is mon
opoly of the air, and this monopoly
should not be given over to private
interests"
Mr.. Daniels letter was in answer to
request from Senator Page for-an
opinion on the resolution introduced
by Senator Poindexter, Republican,
Washington, to regulate the operation
of and foster the development of radio
communication.
Asserting that he was fully aware
of the opposition that existed to gov
ernment ownership of public utilities,
Mr.. Daniels declared experiences be-
fore and during the war demonstrated
that radio stations within the United
States were being used for the trans
mission of "unneutrar' messages.
Danger Confronts Us.
81 feel that it is unnecessary for me
to point out to you the consequences
which might arise from such practice, ~
the letter said. 'One grave danger
that confronts u.s." it continued, "is the
possibility, might even say the prob
ability, of combination through in
terlocking directorates, of the private
cable interests with the private radio
interests, for it is not inconceivable
that the interests that own and con.
troll the cables might also be interest

Against Federal Judge Re-
main at Status Quo Pending
Announcement by judiciary
THROWN OUT, IS BELIEF

WASHINGTON, Feb. 15-Impeach-
ment proceedings instituted in the
house by Representative Welty, Demo
crat, of Ohio, against Federal Judge
Kenesaw Mountain Lands, Of Chica-
go, remained at status quo today pend
ing the fixing of a date by the judi
ciary committee for hearing on the
charges preferred against the jurlst
by the Ohio representative.
Chairman Volstead announced that
Representative Welty and such other
witnesses as he may desire to call
would be asked to appear before the
committee probably within a week
Reading his charges against Judge
Lands on the floor of the house yes
terday, Representative Welty moved
his impeachment because of his ac-
ceptance of the office of supreme arbi-
traitor of baseball while still serving
on the bench.
Charges Neglect
Chief among the five specific
charges presented was the allegation
that Judge Lands acceptance Of the
duties of baseball arbitrator meant ne
glect of his official duties for another
gainful occupation not connected
herewith"
Representative Welty further de-
| clared that if Judge Lands, whose
record on the bench he commended,
wanted to retain the respect and con-
fidence as a Judge 'he must divorce
himself from the flesh-pots of illegal
com binations."
Thrown Out, Belief
/ Without comment by members or a
rising vc.e, Representative Welty's in
dictment was referred to the judiciary
committee. which is vested with full
authority either to discuss the charges
or go ahead with the case. In the lat
ter case. if the house should indict on
the evidence submitted by the com.
mittee, it's findings would be trans
mitted to the senate as the trial court
! Many members expressed the be.
| lief, however, that the case would be
! thrown out by the committee in view
of the attorney generals opinion that
Judge Lands was within the law in
accepting the outside duties in ques
ton.

paign ma nager, Will H. Hays, chair
man of the Republican national COM
mittee, got down to brass tacks today
in a final pre-inauguration conference
on the makeup of the cabinet and the
first steps of the coming administra-
ton.
Mr.. Hays, generally considered by
those close to the president-elect as a
likely choice for place in the cabi-
net and his position as the titular
head of the party was conceded as
giving him an influential voice in the
determination of many questions in
volving both patronage and policies.
The conference was expected to last
the greater part of the day. Although
no definite announcement was made.
it was indicated that the most seri-
Gus problems ahead of the new admin
istration were under consideration.
Daugherty Expected Soon
Harry M. Daugherty of Ohio, head
Of the Harding pre-convention cam
paign and generally rega rded as the
next attorney general, is to reach here
Wednesday for a like season of con-
sultation with the president-elect. 1t
is with these two that Mr. Harding
talks most in regard to the patronage
of his administration and the CONVEX
sationS with them this week are ex-
pected to relate to many prospective
appointments from the cabinet down.
1t is also likely that such questions
as the inaugural address and plans
for the special session of congress will
be considered. In describing the pur-
poses of the visit of his two mana G.
ers, Mr.. Harding said he would talk
with them about general business for
the good of the order"
Yesterday the president-elect dis
posed of a miscellaneous batch of ap-
pointments and found time to do con-
siderable work on spondence.

noon golf game wa Charles G.. Dawes.

Spring is Here, According
to Richmond Citizens

Bluebirds, killdeer, black birds and
robin or two combined today to show
Richmondites that spring has arrived,
dates on the calendar indicating colder
weather Notwithstanding.
you needn't quote me but I saw a
flock Of about 20 bluebirds near town
this morning." said a Richmond citi-
zen over the phone Tuesday. His tes-
timony was substantiated by that of
number of persons who had seen
robins and other birds which migrate
during the colder months.
But the final link in the chain of
evidence came when a visitor in the
office told of seeing two boys going
down the street with marbles in their
hands. There is no debut of it, spring
is here.

NEW YORK, Feb. 15-One hundreds
thousand dollars a year is not a mean
salary for a man, even if he is an ex-
pert in his line, but it is rather re-
markable for a woman, and according
to most mere men you might ask cas-
ually there are not 80 many women
getting more than five thousand a
year. Here is right where Mr.. Mere
Man is very much mistaken, for there
are goodly number of women, and
young, good-looking women they are,
too, who earn five-figure incomes
There are two young women, at
least, who are making 100000 a year,
and 1T is significant fact that they
are both in the motion picture busi-
ness. A pay envelope of $25 900 is al
most common, and $4,000 stipend is
often attained. Scenario writing and
cinema directing are the highest paid
vocations, while the invasion of bank

almost as profitable to the experts re-

man in one of the local clubs
Tuesday.
81 have Travelled over the mid

ness in many of the middle west

able to do as well as in Rich

ness in Richmond and does the
right thing by the people, they
will patronize him; but if he
doesn't, he might as well quit.

on going in such manner that
