Chicago, Oct. 15.--Judge Harry
Fisher today sustained the demnrr =
Of the Chicago Tribune 70 the $40
100000 libel suit brought by the city
Of Chicago. lie declared the city had
no cause for action and denied Il the
right 70 amend its petition.
The city brought Identical suits
against the Tribune and the Daily
News, claiming the papers had printed
false statements regarding Chicago's
financial standing. and thereby in-
iured the city's credit.
Judge Fisher declared The portions
Of English common law and statutes
which restricted the liberty Of tho
press had not been Inherited by this
country. This action. he said, 'is
not IN harmony with the genuine
spirit and objects Of our institutions
The decision was Of far-reaching
| importance 20 newspapers as the suit
was the first on record fri which a
municipality sought to restrict the
right TO criticize it's corporate acts.
Judge Fisher said the case In which
the city Of Manchester, England. sued
! In 1891 was Of no value in the present
case because, while the English court
! held that municipal corporation may
sue for libel, the reasons for that find
/ ing were not stated and the decision
Of a foreign tribunal in itself is not
1 a precedent.
He held further that English mu-
inequalities are more in the nature Of
private corporations, and that there
fore the question whether government
al bodies can sue for libel could not
/ have been considered in the Man
chester case.
The couF said that examination
Of the early English law only served
to point out the necessity Of avoiding
it's principles. lie characterized it.

Especial Correspondent OF The Eve.

WASHINGTON. Sept. 10 Copy
right, ls21).--President Harding has
abandoned any idea Of forming an
association of nations as a substi-
tute for the present League OF Ma
tons. The President makes it clear
to those who inquire on the subject
that the United States will associate
with other nations in international
enterprises and the discussion of
ways and means of preserving peace.
but as for a formal body parallel to
the Geneva League no such orsani2a-
ton is contemplated.
This news may come as surprise
to those who have been thinking
either in terms of a rival organiza-
ton to the Geneva League or an as
ISOLATION Of nations in which formal
membership would be required. But
the President has evolved the theory
that in order to be perfectly rec at
all times to approve or disapprove, to
agree or disagree with anything tha'
may be proposed by other nations.
the United States cannot bind itself
in any hard and fast organiza ton.
Mr.. Harding makes a point OF just
how the propositions are used in
speaking of an association of" ma
tons or an association with" ma
tions. He. believes the coming con-
ference on armament is an associa-
ton with other nations and there
fore satisfies, to an extent anyway
his campaign pledge.
II will be recalled that the whole
controversy ranged around two lit
tie words--"the" and "a" M. Har-
ding said he would never Join the
League Of Nations. Men like former
President Taft and other pro-1.eague
Republicans were not discouraged
but insisted that eventually Mr.
Harding would find that IN endeav'
oring to form "a" League OF Nations
he would have to bring the United
States into the existing League.
The President in his messages tc
Congress has turned his back on the
present League. The latest develop
mont however, Is his determination
to turn away from all sorts OF per
manent bodies with hard and fas
rules and play role of informal con.
ference with other powers on vita
matters, without committing Anne erics

As the Cabinet Is already invested

The general belief is that the Dali
will authorize the acceptance OF the
invitation and the continuation of NJ :

The attitude Of the Irish Rcpubli
can Army command toward the ncgo-

culated weekly organ, that "eVery

Office at Washington, that Frank ].
Fitzpatrick. the enforcement officer
who WAS shot to death in the Atlantic
Avenue ferry house, after leading the
raid on the Greek steamer King Al
cxander yesterday, did not kill him
self but was murdered. The Wash

the report that Col. @. j.. Fcrr"N AS
sistant Chief of the division, came TO
New York to-day to take charge OF
this phase of the smuggling case.
Col. Forrer to-day interviewed the
brother and brother-in-laU Of Fitz-
patrick, who came to this city from
their home in Waterbury, Conn. to
claim his body. They told him of
Fitzpatrick's ill-health and de-
PRESTON which they did not regard
as SUFFICIENT to cause him to take
his own life. Col. Forrer also at
tended the inquest in Brooklyn to-
day.
Medical Examiner Wuest declared
after the inquest that he believed
Fitzpatrick had committed suicide
There was only one wound in his
body. The bullet fred from weapon
