FOR CONTEMPT
Of COURT

NEW YORK CITY. Oct. 8.-Mar-
Gus Carney, head of the Universal Ne
gro Improvement Assn, president OF

danger OF being held in contempt Of
court as result of failure to comply
with an order OF Supreme Court Jus
ticc Burr directing him to present him
self for examination before trial in the
suit OF the Pan Union Company
against him for $3,856.3S. Edward d.
Smith Green, secretary OF the steam
ship line, also was directed to appear.
Neither appeared and both were mar
lscted in default.
Anton Gronich. of No 305 Broad
way. attorney for the Pan Union Cea-
pany, announced that he would take
steps to have the two officials de-
clared In contempt Of court.
The suit centers around the efforts
OF George ]. Naiy and Colin {. Brown
constituting the Pan Union Company
TO export $4,500.000 worth OF wines
and whiskey To the West Indies before
the Nolstead act prohibiting sQch eX-
portation went into effect in Jdnuary
1920. The two plaintiffs allegc thai
Marcus Garyey and his associates took
advantage OF their position to import
and collect an overcharge OF $3.50,
which they paid under protest.
The same day it accepted the cargo
and placed in on board the Yarmouth
the steamship company notified the
plaintiffs, the latter assert, that the
Yarmouth would not be permitted to
all unless the owners OF the whiskey
paid freight charges totaling $l3,l62
The plaintiffs point out that because
OF the restriction placed upon the cx-
port OF whiskey after midnight. Janu-
AIRY 10, 1920, they had no recourse bui
10. pay the amount demanded. They
paid it under protest and with notice
that they would demand refund Of
the overcharge.
The cargo was released when il was
shown that the Yarmouth had actually
sailed few hours before the law went
into effect

BRITAIN ACCEPTS

TNHE traditional elasticity of the phrase

from the hcartcniug Importance of British
acqrIcecrncc in the naval holiday program
proposed by Secretary lIughc>.
Details Of the problem arc exceedingly
numerous and the process Of working them
out will nccc~Sitatc study and careful speCt"
adjustments. I'm principle" will cover
this later stage of the proceedings. II does
NOT in the least imply disingonuousness or
false Drctense.
The temptation to rejoice over the an
nouucemcnt by the British delegation that
Arthur Balfour A. spokesman for the En-
n.r". will formally accept the American offer
today. need not be resisted. The COnstruc.
tive drive Of the Limitation Of Arms Con-
ference has already far surpassed the pace
Of optimistic speculation. ldcaIists arc
hard pressed to keep mp with the stride of
actualitics.
The scheduled action by Great Britain
renders inevitable and immediate a similar
stop by Japan. Indeed high honors in co.
operation have already been Garncrcd by
Baron Kato. who expressed unqualified ap-
proyal Of the American peace insurance
policy almost as soon as il was disclosed
The triumph or American candOr is un-
questionable Suddenly. problems which the
Governments of tho world have heretofore
been afraid TO touch. questions which the
two International conventions of The Hague
relcgatcd t" tho background under dcugc
"f riouS and Ineffective phrases. are re-
duccd 10 a practical basis upon which real
iStic reckoning can be made.
Under such treatment the nature Of the
Far Eastern difficulties undCrgocS most
cheering change. Nations armed to the
teeth are prone to debate their alleged
'rights" and "prcroEativoS" with pcrious
punctilo. Pledged % procedure protcc-
tive of peace Governments arc virtually
certain to experience marked alteration of
dominant motives.
It would BE- unreasonable to expect that
the whole Of the Washington session will be
characterized by the smoothncss which has
distinguished it, most auspiciouS opening.
But it is obviously quite possible for op-
pOncntS TO come to terms when their
shoulders have been cleared Of chips.
The in principle" reservation hardly
warrants anxious thought. Had the posi-
tious been reversed. with Great Britain the
host and the United States the guest at the
Conferences it * more than likely that n
similar stipulation would have been made
BY our representatives.

He never made any attempt to repeat the
motions which he had seen.
There is abundant evidence, however. that
these Investigators are mistaken. Visitors to
the Philadelphia Zoo have seen the monkeys
there pick up stick to use in reaching
outside of their cages to get peanut that
has been thrown to them. They used the
same kind of intelligence that a boy would
display in the same circumstances. DR..
Furncss. of Wallingford, demonstrated to
his satisfaction not that n monkey could
talk. but that il could be taught'to do many
things that required the exercise of some
degree of intelligence.
And now comes the news from the Bronx
Zoo that an oranS -utan in captivity there
has been tearing the bar from his trapcze
and using it lever TO attempt to pry
himself out of his cage. Thcr3 would be
nothing strange in his tearing the bar loose
from the chains on which it was suspended
nor in his attempting to tear the Stats out
of his cage with his hands. But the use OF
bar rs lover to pry with puts him
among the tool using creatures.

HUMANISMS
BY WILLIAM ATHERTON DU PUY

DANE COOLIDGE is naturalist and !
- novelist He has spent a good deal Of
his life going about the country. especially
the Southwest, collecting little animals for
the Smithsonian Institution.
Once he came in from a trip and struck
the railroad at a water tank down near
Tucson. While be waited for train he
went out and trapped one Of those queer
little kangaroo rats of that region. so called
because they have pouches in which to carry
food.
He put the rat into shoe box. and car.
ried it into the station and sat there talk.
ing to the telegraph operator. The conver.
sntion wore down and they both dozed
Presently there came n tapity -tap-tap and
the tclcgrapher sprang 10 his key. The call
was, repeated and he realized that it ema.
mated from the shoe box and not his n.
strumcnt
That darn thing is tapping the call tor
Tucson " he explained.
SO they named the kangaroo rat
''Tucson."
And Dane Coolidge brought him back to
Washington and he lived for six months at
the Smithsonian Institution and languishel
because Of the severity of the climate and
it looked as though he would die.
And about that time Coolidge had to sol
on a trip to California and he took TucsOn
with him. And he induced the conducts,
or the cann0nball to stop at the water tanil
in Arizona, and he got off and met th'l
telegraph operator, and told him that h|
had brought Tucson back, and the two Of,
them went out on the desert back Of th'I
station and turned him loose in the ver|
hole from which he had been trapped.
Miss Temple Bailey, whose "TrumpetsI
Swan the fifth of her novels. appeared
last year with its great appeal for tb,|
drcamers Of the world. tells Of an interest
ing occurrence in connection with the publ
lcation of that book.
The idea of the story came to Miss Bailsr|
when she was shown a stuffed trumpetef|
swan, one of a private collection. the bir
having long been alleged to be extinct. ant
was told its history, the story of how th.|
iocks used to fly low over the northland|
and send forth their trumpet calls so dis'|
tinctly that they could be heard at a great
distance with a charming effect.
Almost simultaneously with the appear'I
Ancc Of "rhC Trumpcter Swan" however. Al
flock Of the birds for which it was named
was reported from the North, flying low al
of old, the sound of the trumpet cOminI|
clearly TO those who listened.

CONFERENCE SlDELlGHTS

Broke News-lntimate Giimpses
Of the inside-ouiek Getaway
BY GEORGE NOX Mccain

TT IS one thing TO write a story in the
l. present tense with the episodes of n
worlds history breaking all around you,
and to review the same scenes from the un-
disturbed quiet of a hotel room hours after.
The Conference on the Limitation of Ar
mampnt will hold its second session today
at the same place--but not under the same
circumstances.
The world has moved forward long stride
since Saturday morning.
TO the plenipotentiarics of the nine par
ticipatng nations the outlook was more or
less Indefinite undecided and misty before
that first session.
Washington correspondents of newspapers
in PCkin, Toxic. London, Paris and Rome
had informed the world that the United
States Government. which called the Con-
ference, had no definite plan to offer for
consideration.
II would be the duty Of he Conference
itself to Suggest a plan.
In other words. il was TO be the old, old
story over again.
There would be plattudinous expressions
Of hope and a unanimity of sentiment that
something ought TO be done to curb the rage
for armnmPntS.
This would be followed by long drawn out
debates conferences and opinions from OK
pCrts.
The sum Of it all would bc a lot of in
definite conclusions indihcrently arrived at .
In the inclcgant but expressive argot Of
the pave it was to be q sublimatPd case of
