BAR BODY ENDORSES
ALL BUT MANCUSO
Other Judicial Candidates Of
ficiaiiy Approved.

| All OF the judicial candidates from
the Court of General Sessions up to the
Court OF Appeals were indorsed last
night by the Association of the Bar of
the City of New York with the excep-
tion of Magistrate Francis X. Mancuso.
Democratic candidate for Judge of Gen.
eral Sessions. The association did not
ADOPT a resolution disapproving the can
didacy OF Magistrate Mancuso. but sim.
ply failed to indorse him. The Judiciary
committees report had this to say of
him.
He seems to be a man of excellent
character, of whom IL may reasonably
be hoped and expected that his career
but after most careful investigation and
protracted consideration your committee
has reached the reluctant conclusion that
Magistrate Mancuso has not as yet
demonstrated fitness or capacity for so
important an office as that of Judge of
the Court of General Sessions. and for
that reason 1t is unable at this time to
recommend that his candidacy be in
dorsed by the association"
The association. adopting the report
of the Committee on Court of Inferior
Jurisdiction. disapproved of the candi-
dacy Of Justice William II. Morris, nonii-
mated for reelection on the Democratic
ticket, but approved the candidacy of
his Republican opponent, Owen s. NJ.
Tierney. In rejecting Justice Morris the
committees report said:
Justice William Y. Morris. after SER
vice of a full term. has been renoni-
mated. The committee is of the opinion
that his conduct on the bench and his
temperament, as shown during his in
cumbency. demonstrate his unftness for
judicial Office"

Funds to Conduct Campaign
Will Be Raised.

The Republican Coalition Campaign
Committee is badly in need of funds.
Campaign plans are suffering because
there is no money with which to carry
them out.
This to great measure Is due to the
fact that not until yesterday was def
mite step taken to organize for the cam
paign. H. b. Rosen, a vice-president of
the Hartman National Bank. was
named as treasurer. Henry w. Taft.
who as chairman Of the original COM
mittee of forty-seven. which is the nu-
cleus of the campaign committee. Is to
be chairman of the new committee, was
authorized to name a budget committee
and a finance committee.
These names were suggested by sub
committee of seven on organization, OF
which Joseph NJ. Price is chairman and
the other members are c. d. Hilles,
Senator Calder, Henry w. Taft. Henry
Fletcher. Mrs. II. Edward Dreier and
Mrs. Charles l.. Tiffany.
The platform committee got together
last night to draft the platform In tenta-
tive form.

as many as 100000 children are IN

New York to the mills and factories 1t

tion that they have n right to expect"
Mr.. Lockwood. in his speech before the
committee, declared that the yarn which
tells of the Mayor vetoeing the Mullan
bill Is wholly manufactured because the
Mulian bill was not a city bill, and'never
passed the Legislature, so that 1t could
not have come before the Mayor for
consideration. All OF the teachers salary
bills, Mr.. Lockwood said. were non-par-
tisan in the Legislature. the most of the
important ones were opposed by the
Mayor, although they were signed by
Gov. Smith.
Besides Mr.. Curran and Mr.. Lock-
wood speeches were made before the
committee by several local candidates,
including George w. Baker. for Borough

Considers Question
Purely European

PARIS, August 12.- by Associat-

Britain have decided to refer the Up
per Silesian question to the League
of Nations, it was announced here
today The question threatened yes
terday to bring about a break in the
meeting of, the Allied Supreme Coun-
ell.
AMBASSADOR Harvey told the coun-
ell this morning that the United
States government had thought from
the beginning that the Upper Silesian
question was purely an European one
and as it now was to be referred to
the League of Nations on which the
United States was not represented,
he thought he would be interpreting
the view of his government by@not
participating in the decision to refer
the question to the League.

THE PLACE

While the official announcement
has not been made, there is no doubt
that President Harding will name
Washington as the meeting place of
the disarmament conference. This
will be disappointing to the several
cites, including Chicago ana Cleve-
land, which have asked for TIE con-
ference. But when everything that
can be said has been said in favor
of the other cities, the advantages of
Washington are overwhelming
Climatically, Washington ap-
proaches perfection in November,
and the. Pan-American building, in
which the conference will probably
be held, is unequaled by any build
ing in America, for its beauty and the
nicety of its appointments.
In addition to this is the still more
important fact that the archives of
the American government IS we'll

tons represented at the conference

RECORDER FORT
TELLS TO
STOP .SPEEDERS
Only Way Is To Give Po-
lice Motorcycle Or
Car, He Says

That speeding on the streets of
Americus can not be broken up until
the city administration provides the
ways and means, and that the police
/ department IS doing its best under
the circumstances, were sentiments
expressed today by City Recorder
Hollis Fort, Chief Bragg and other
members of the department, follow
ing suggestion adopted by the Ro-
tary Club at it's luncheon Thursday
that. the traffic laws be more rigidly
enforced here.
st is an impossibility for the po-
lice department to catch the most of
the speeders,' said Recorder Fort.
Everybody who is familiar with
Lee street knows that most of the
speeding is done between sundown
and II O'Clock p. m. The police
or any other persons may try to
their limit to get the evidence on the
speeders and they will fail, for it is
only in rare cases that identification
can be positive, and numbers can not
be distinguished after dusk.

because have watched them myself
and tried it, too. And ! want to say
that am not going to find anybody
guilty in this court unless there is
proper Identification. | want a po-
lice officer to be sure he has the
right person before bringing any ore
into court.
Only One Way.
"There is only one way to stop
speeding in Americus, or anywhere
else, and that is to provide the de-
partment with a motorcycle or a
small runabout car. With it the
speeders could be chased and arrest
ed, eases made and prosecutions OBJ
tanned. / feel certain that the extra
fines resulting in six months would
pay for such a car, besides breaking
up the speeding nuisance. | have
talked this suggestion until am

now and then we have an accident
and then there is the criticism of the
police department.

'SHanSSsnle is9as handsome does?'
'sTheg Say she didn't even want
