LONDON, May 19.-Crown Prince
Hirohito of Japan, who is now in
England, wants to visit the United
States and will probably do so within
the next eighteen months. Announce
ment to this effect was made here
today by Viscount Chinda, who has

Princes present tour.
EAGER TO SEE AMERICA.
THE Crown Prince hoped to visit
the United States on this trip into the
western world. but will not be able
to do so. as he must return to Japan
by September" said Viscount Chinda.
He is very anxious to see America
and is satisfied that he will get
good reception in that country. As
America and Japan are next door
neighbors in a manner OF speaking, IL
would be an easy matter for him to
cross the Pacific.
'The present visit of the Crown
Prince has no political Significance.
IL Is purely educational and friendly.
The main object was to allow the
Crown Prince to view the European
battlehelds before they are built over
and to cement the bonds OF friendship
existing between Japan and European
nations.
II was appointed to oversee the
tour because of my knowledge Of
European affairs and customs. Poll
tics will not be touched In any manner
during the trip"
DIDN'T DISCUSS YAP.
viscount Chinda visited Premier
Lloyd George at his country home on
Monday. but said that he did not dis
cuss the Yap Island issue nor any
thing else involved in the peace
treaty.
II understand that the zap Island
matter will be brought before the Su-
preme Council at an early meeting.
I am satisfied. that II will be settled
to the satisfaction OF all the inter-
ested parties.
1.-The question OF renewing the An
gio-Japanese treaty is matter for
the British dominion premiers, and,
| therefore, Japan will not be repre-
sented at the conference in London
next month when IL will be taken up.
We will receive the result through
| the regular diplomatic channels. |
| believe that the matters in dispute
will be adjusted anicably.".

COVENANT CHANGE
 MADE EASIER BY
 LEAGUE ASSEMBLY
By Associated Press

Geneva. October 3.--The assembly of the League of Nations made amendment of the covenant easier by adopting today under the old unanimity rule change in Article 26 requiring unanimity for amend ments, and immediately began con- sideration of the proposed alterations in the covenant under the new rule. Article 26 now reads:
 Amendments to the present cove nant, the text of which shall have been voted by the assembly on q three-fourths majority in which there shall be included the votes of all the members of the council repre- sented at the meeting, will take ef- feet when ratified by the members of the league whose representatives composed the council when the vote was taken and by majority of those whose representatives formed the as sembly"
 The first amendment debated un- der the new rule was modification of Article 16, proposed by the Greek delegation, providing that no state shall proceed to blockade a country breaking the covenant before the date fixed by the council The small CT state, including Holland and Po- land, however. opposed any action .n fixing the blockade resolutions. They pointed out that countries, moved either by interest or animosity, might anticipate the action of the council and blockade on their own account before the question had been suffi- ciently studied.
 M K. DeMarees Van Swinderen or The Netherlands, raised parliament ary question entirely new to the as- sembly by moving suspension of all @ction on Article Is until the next as- sembly. Lord Robert Cecil said that something must remain in full vigor and that the effect of the motion would be to tear up Article 16, ieaV- ing the league without any economic arm whatever.
 The Albanian Greco Jugo Slav problem broke out again unexpecteu- ly, but finally was disposed of so far as this assembly is concerned by the declaration of the Albanian delega- tion that it would accept the decision of the ambassadors council.
 Lord Robert Cecil took occasion 10 score the ambassadors for their de- lays, saying:
 We have heard that the ambassa- dors are about to give their decision. I hope and trust if is so, because if I may venture, very respectfu1iy' to say so to such an august body, de- lays in such matter are crimihai to the peace of the world.

nALM FOR THE nEJEcTrD

From The Point of View in serb
 ner's,
 The cruel business of sending re- jection slips to hopeful authors gives very little time or place for the eN '. crcise of the humanities" Indeed. the reader often enough wishes fer an opportunity to express some ssEt4- ment besides stereotyped disapproval or lack of interest, for he fs generally wholly devoid of harsh feelings, and not in the least bored by the floods unavailable manuscripts that must go back whence they came Contrary 10 public opinion, 1t is no fearful tast to read and pass upon manuscripts. Instead. 1t is one of the most roman tie of pastimes. Ones fingers clutch strands from the far ends of the earth. and stow away into one place each day such collection of the great and the lowly as would put an ordinlary city street to shame. Here East meets West and all nations gather striving in friendly fashion for that seemingly unattainable thing. editorial favor.
 And to the magazine reader, who merely picks the sheep from the goats. one great interest must always be the personality of the contribu- tor.
 How many strange people one meets and how very well one learns to know them! Particularly is this true of the unpublished, for they have not yet learned to hide all things under the cloak of art, or to serve aip startling reality with the grace and inevitability of fiction. Their work is replete with life in the rough; they deal but rarely with pure fancy, and even then sometimes the alchemy falls somewhere the art wears thin and the gilt of romance rubs off and re- veals the reality beneath.

 b. ?. Wilcox, assistant . freight traffic manager of the Seaboard Air Line railroad, told the commission the railroad cannot stand any re- duction in it's revenue at this time. His statement was made in answer to the commissions citation calling on the Seaboard to show why it should not be required to place the new penitentiary at Camp Kilby within the switching limits of Mont gomery.
 Mir Wilcox declared S3 per cent of the ears of his railroad are in bad order and unusable and are in sid ings and yards, that the Seaboard has no funds to pay for repairs and that the shops have been suspended for eight months of this year due to the lack of funds. to continue the work.
 We need money not only for re- pairs to equipment, and new equip ment, but also for maintenance of railway purposes" said Mir Wilcox. Should Camp Kilby be placed in the MontgonFery switching limits it would further reduce the meazer revenue of the road and further cripple it in meeting it's necessary operations"

TOLD BY
 MINERS ID PUT
 HOUSE IN ORDER
Other Resolutions Adopted Favor Mine and Railroad NationaliZation-Prohi-
 bition Side Stepped
By Associated Press

Indianapolis, october 3.--Although refusing to condemn the American Legion because of alleged strike- members, the convention of the United Mine Workers of America today adopted resolutions committee re- port calling on legion officials to "put their house in order" The ac- tion cane after several delegates had appealed vehemently for the conveu- tion to go on record in unqualified condemnation of the legion.
 The committee report was among those made on more than 100 reso- lutions sent to the convention for consideration by local unions through out the country and which had been before the committee for considera7 ton since the opening of the con vention Most of the resolutions went into the discard, and debate was per mitted on only q few, with most of the comment being exacted by the legion resolution.
 Aside. from the work on resolutions the convention voted overwhelmingly not to change the lnion's present system of appointing organizers. Sup porters of an election plan com plained that the appointive system permitted officers to build up pc ltical machine but no evidence to support this charge was found by committee appointed at the 1919 con ale nf ganizers was impracticable.
 Among the resolutions adopted were those favoring immediate na- tionalization of coal mines and rail- roads; the repeal of the espionage laws and amnesty for all political prisoners" and self determination for Ireland.
 The convention side stepped taking stand on prohibition when the is- sue was brought up by resolutions favorlng light wines and beer. No action was taken on these resolu- ticns the committee avoiding such a course with statement that the prohibition question "is purely so- cfa1 question:" on which each c1ti- zen has his own views.
 The committee report dealing with the American Legion cited the le- gions constitution as proof that the World war veterans organization shall be a force of law and order adding that acts of individual mem- bers had justly brought condemna- tion of the legion, and that the ''ty- ranny practiced by legion members through force is in direct violation" of the federal constitution as well as that of their order
 "We, therefore, call upon the proper officials of the American le- zion" said the report, Ito put their household in order by adopting some proper and effective punishment of it's members who violate the consti- tuition and weaken the force of the legion and tend to bring it into dis grace. The American legion is or ganized for good purpose, but has been used for bad practice and being an Infant organization, we feel 1t unwise at this time to condemn or eulogize the American Legion as an organization until they can have the opportunity to put their house in or der"

JEAN PAIGE AT ALCAZAR
 NOW IN "BLACk BEAUTY"

The horse Black Beauty in that sy mpa tbetic story of horse from view point of horse. did not know the half of all that was transpiring inside the walls of "Birtwick Hall. Though he told his story of these happenings from occasional glimpses from meadow or stable or other times where a horse would partici- pate, he could only tell the outside, the result, after the things had really happened up in Birtwick Hall.
 But the picture Black Beauty at the Aicazar has filled in all of the happenings that Black Beauty only surmsed in his simple way and the result Is a really thrilling drama or human beings and the part horse took in setting tangled lives straight. Anna Sewell the writer of the original Black Beauty" made the horse hero of her story living, thinking horse possessed of many quaint opinions of people and things about him.
 Black Beauty in the picture pro- duction is shown with all of the book sharm and as magnificentiy spirited and handsome horse. The way he figures in the excellent story of human beings where villalnous man almost marries his mistress by. threats at the town Inn one night IS most natural. The climax where Black Beauty enters the story Tn all exciting race with train 10 save his mistress from this same man IS one that included daring as well as speed.
 The quaint old English homes, dress and manners are conscientiousiy nroduced,~ Birtwick Hall has the at rnpsnhere of quaintness that Is asso- c;ated with those times. The caste is very fine and Jeanne Paige pretty and appealing.

'HIGHER-UPS" IN
 LIQUOR TRAFFIC
 SCORED BY JUDGE
Man Who Buys Moonshine Takes Stand With Outlaws, Hobbs Says in Charge
 to Grand Jury

Selma, October (Special) )-In one of the most fervent and force- full charges ever delivered from the bench of the circuit court of Dallas county Judge S. F. Hobbs this morn ing presented to the grand jury the subject of the illicit liquor traffic in the county, declaring that the makers of the stuff were running night and day, and that home brew" was being brewed to such an extent the conditions had become alarming. He said there was an element of young men who consid- cred 1t smart" to violate the pro- hibition laws, and that they were being aided and abetted by their elders, and that a general slacken- ing up of the restraints which the laws imposed was noticeable.
 Judge Hobbs pointed out that a weakening of law enforcement in the matter of intoxicating liquors would be followed by a weakening of all other laws and that a return of the conditions of lawlessness and debauchery that once were rampant in the county would not be impos- sible. Be referred to the time dur ing the reign of John Barleycorn when there were as many as 2S capital cases on the docket of the circuit court and declared that since the coming of prohibition he had known the docket not to show a single crime of the Nrst rank.
 Since the passage of the eight eenth amendment he sa!d.' the people had taken prohibition too much for granted and reaction had come which was threatening to undermine the whole fabric of the law. Judge Hobbs called on the grand jury to go after the "higher-ups" in the liquor trafsic and not to be content with punishing the hirelings or go-be- tweens. He said the man who buys quart of white lightning" takes his stand with the outlaws, no mat ter what his prestige was as citi- zen
