MINISTER ATTACKS
 ISTH AMENDMENT
Writing It On Our COnstitu- ton Unpardonable Says
 Rev. T. F. Gailor.

Salt Lake City. Sept. ITO me the writing into our constitution of the 18th amendment was unpardon- able" said the Right Rev. Thomas T.. Gallor. Episcopal bishop of Ten nessee on the eve of the fourth synod of the province of the Pacific of the Episcopal church which opened to- day.
 ''I take no part in politics; I am neither republican nor democratic in such questions" declared Bishop Gai- Tor. but politicians of both parties have played politics with the good name and the conscience of this coun- try. Whatever in the league of na- tions was rcpugnant, could have been written out but to refuse to counte- nance any measure for universal peace was nothing but a denial of every principle for which this country went 10 war.
 As to prohibition. that is a deli cate question but l have always as- serted my belief and have never. ovaded a question.

 While in Court.
Especial to The Herald)


 Plainville, Conn, Sept. 7.-wflliam Webber of Whites Crossing, Plain vile. was fined $1 and costs in the Plainyille court this morning for breach of the peace and using abusive language. Justice Edward P Prior heard the case while Grand Juror Will liam ]. Foran prosecuted. Lawyer J. G. Woods appeared for the accused.
 Webber' was accused of using abu- sive language by Miss Persis Cheever, a resident of New Britain, but former ly having lived at the Sunnyledge cottage at Sunset Rock. a short dis tance from the Webber farm. Miss Cheever claimed thac webber had in- suited her while she was walking past the house. The case was a long drawn out ono and during i,s procedure. some interesting facts were developed. It disclosed the fact that Miss Cheever had moved into the Sunnyledge cot tage with her mother and brother, without the knowledge of the owners The cottage is owned by New Britain association. Their presence was dis covered in the cottage and the care taker called to have then: put out, They agreed to pay rent for the time they had lived in it and two rings and a ltvallere were given as security.
 m" argument sihrteu' according 10 the Cheever story, when Webber ac- cused them of stealing his corn and breaking down his fence. However, between the two of them. and Miss Cheevcr's brother, Francis, there ap- pearcd to have been a lively debate and some vile language passed. Wit nesses called to the stand claimed that they had seen many New Britain men coming from the direction of the house at a late hour nights. but could not assert whether or, not they had been in the house. The fact that the Cheevers had moved into the house without authority from the owners. looked black for them. but webber had undoubtedly insulted them. ac. cording to the testimony given and he was given the ahove fine with pay ments of the court

BOLIVIA BROTHERS
 LEAGUE TEST CASE
South American Strength to Show
 in Area Dispute
TACNA-ARICA GIVES TROUBLE
Treaty Btwccn Two Datin-Amcrican Countries May Have to be Revised by Commission and Submitted to Council for Final Action.

Geneva. Sept 7.-(By Associated Press.)-Leading figures in the as ssmbly of the league of nations. in session here. were engaged this morn ing in an effort to reach an under sanding with Bolivian and Chilean delegates relative to the Bolivian de- mand that the Tacna-Arica question be placed upon the agenda of the pres ent meeting of the assembly
 Wants Commission.
 Bolivia has indicated she would re- quest that the league refer to a com I1ission the question as to. whether r was competent to revise the treaty between Bolivia and Chile relative to Tacna and Africa. After last nights conference, Senor Aramayo said that the president of the assem bly, had re fused to give any assurance that the question would be referred to a com mission. President Van, lkarnebeek .old Senor Aramayo the assem- bly could not place itself in the danger ohs position of tacitly going on record as being competent to revise treaties. I1o declared that such a course would establish a precedent for possible re- vision of the Versailles treaty and would cause grave alarm in France and other allied countries. During the conference the president of ths league made an effort to have Bolivia con- sent to an indefinite postponement. but he failed of success.
 French Reports.
 It was reported in French circles that Bolivia had agreed not to bring the question before this meeting of the assembly. This has been denied by Senor Aramayo.
 Today's meeing. therefore, opened with considerable anxiety over the matter, and the proposal to take up the next order of business was said Co depend upon last minute attempts 10 compromise the differences between the two South American republics.
 Angustin Edwards Heads Chileans.
 4Augustin Edwards, head of the Chil- can delegation, took the floor when today's meeting opened. He declared Caile' opposed the proposition that the assembly should take into considera- ton revision of the treaty of 1904 be- tween that country and Bolivia. plead ing that the league was incompetent to do this work.

MAYOR TO NAME TWO
 FOR INVESTIGATION
Special Committee on Transportation Hits Upon Plan Which is Be-
 .lieved Advisable.

The investigation of the transporta- ton problem, for wn:ch a committee has been appointed by the mayor. will probably be shifted 70 two men, to be delegated by the mayor for that task. a result of a decision reached last night when the transportation committee met.
 Alderman F. R. Gilpatric reported that he had made a trip to Boston and discussed with expert statisticians the best methods of conducting the in vestigation. and was prepared to rec ommend tho plan submitted above. If men of prestige can be secured. the alderman stated, n good case can be framed for presentation to the Public Utilities commission. He had no par ticular men in mind. but felt that the mayor could secure the proper indi- riduals.
 The present committee will continue in existence unless the investigators desire otherwise and will be privileged to keep in touch with the investiga- tion through the mayor. The plan of hiring expert statfsticians was given up on account of the expense entailed.

STONE STILL ON BOARD
Resignation Received by Mayor o. F. Curtis, Makes no Statement Regard ing Membership on Board.

The resignation of E. B. Stone. which is in the hand, of Mayor O. F. Curtis is in the form of quitting only as chairman of the Ire board and not as a commissioner. q perusal of the message indicates. Ih view of the fact. the mayor is not in a position to act on the resignation since the fire com missioners and not the mayor, in theory at least, selected MT. stone as chairman.
 Whether MT. Stone intended to re- tire from the commission or not is question. His letter to the mayor states that he wishes to retire as chair man of the board of fire commission- CTS. however, and the mayor is not in clined to interpret it as meaning the c0mmissionership alsu.

a question Of whether we, belong to some association or not.
 Ut is a question of whether we are loyal citizens of the United States. I am here to say to you that the members of the labor unions were not the only ones who won the war 1t was the citizens who inherited their patriotism from their forefathers who came across in the Mayflower and helped determine and decide the in- dependence of America as well as those who have adopted American in stitutions as their own.

 Alderman Wells ia one of the staunchest supporters of tho two platoon. He was one Of the first council members to advocate adop- ton of this system and has, since it first came boforo the council, con sistently worked for it's approval When it became apparent that n modified plan was favored. he was ono of the first council members to come before the public with such plan.
 Plan As Approved.
 The alderman's recommendation closely resemble those which were to be recommended by the fire board at tho time that Chairman F.. w. Macomber was displaced. Addition al men would be npportioned to the several companies, under the alder mans plan, as follows: No. 1, one man. No. 2. two men: No. 2. two men; No. {. three men; No. s, three men. No. 6. three men. Both hook and ladder companies would be given thrce additional men. This totals 20 men. but go that tho department might not be crippled. Alderman Wells makes provision for thrco ad- , ditionai men. making a total of 23 men.
 Proposed Strength.
 Under this plan. with tho forces of the several companies broken into two shifts. their strength on each platoon. Alderman Wells calculates. would he: No. |. four men; No. .. four men: No. 2. four men: No. 1. four men; No. .. four men: No. c, four men. The hook and ladder companies would have five mon each.
 should IL he found impossible or unwise to attempt to run one or more of the companies with such force, Alderman Wells would draft men from the additional three to mako tho full complement.
 Ancnt Reducing Pay.
 Relative to tho proposed cuts in tho pay of firemen, Alderman Wells .tycla that thero will he no opposition raised by men in the department. since he believes they will sec the justice in teduccd pay in view of tho lesscninE .,f working hours. The time is corping when all city employees must stand a cut in pay and tho inauguration Of the two platoon will afford an opportun- fly to begin tho cutting process, the sdtat ward alderman pointed out in his interview
 Would Cost S17,f6O.
 Roughly estimating tte pay roll of tho firo fighters to average s37 week. Alderman Wells figured on an average rice of s7 week. On 5t men. tho present strength of tho department. tris would effect a saving weekly of s357.
