Disarmament
Leagues Test,
Cecil Declares
Lord Robert Demands That
France and Great Britain
DoSomething or Cease OBJ
structing Other Projects
Question Put to a Vote
Decision Is TO Call Ola Com
mission to Draft Treaty
for Reduction Proposals

GENEVA, Sept. 81 (By The Asso-
ciated Press) The representatives of
France and Great Britain were sum
moned by Lord Robert Cecil, repre-
senting South Africa, to-day either to
present proposals for the reduction of
ornaments, if they had any, or cease
obstructing the projects put forward
by others. The committee on disarma-
ment of the League of Nations was
discussing a resolution proposed bv
Lord Robert and Signor Schanzer, Of
Italy, which read:
The Assembly resolves that the
temporary fixed commission be asked
TO make general proposals for the
reduction of armaments, which, in
order to secure precision, should
be in the form of draft treaty.
or other equally definite plan to be
presented to the Council, if possible,
before the Assembly of next year"
h. A. l.. Fisher, Great Britain, and M.
Reynald, France, opposed this resolu-
tlon because, they said, it was impos-
slble at the present time to enter into
treaty on this subject with the United
States and Russia. The form of a
treaty might eventually be best. but it
would be better, they contended, to
postpone the resolution until next year.
Regional arrangements would possibly
be the first step, developing gradually
into general agreement.
Disarmament the Test
Lord Robert Cecil insisted upon his
motion, saying that it was vital to the
league and vital to peace that some
thing be done. Disarmament was the
test case upon which the league was
to be tried.
Let France and England put for
ward proposals if they have them," he
exclaimed, land not content them
selves with obstructing the proposals
OF others. | ask the committee to de-
eide between US"
Mr.. Fisher said his attitude was not
to be taken as an indication that the
British government does not favor a
reduction of armaments.
On the vote Mr. Fisher abstained.
while all the other members voted for
the motion.
The Assembly reserved decision on
the point as to whether the Council
shall fix the date to apply the economic
blockade as a weapon of the league
against nations breaking the covenant
or merely to recommend the date when
the blockade shall be applied.
Each Must Act for Itself
The Assembly adopted an interpre-
tative resolution of the blockade COM
mittee, which substantially is as
follows:
The unilateral action of defaultin ?
state cannot create state of war 1t
merely entities other members Of the
league to resort to acts of war, or to
declare themselves in state of war
with the breaking state.
1t is the duty OF each member of the
league to decide for itself whether a
breach of the Covenant has been com
mitted.

PatrOln1dn Is Shot to Death:
Body Found in Riuerside Driue
Autoists See Victim Fall Near l6{>th Street; Muir.
derers Escape; Dead Man Had Arrested Party
Near Scene of Staying Few Days Ago

An automobile which had several
we'll known Broadway theatrical figures
as occupants, moving South on River
side Drive at l o'clock this morning,
was rounding Inspiration Point at
losth Street when one of the occu-
pants of the car saw a man at the
roadside fall to the ground.
The auto stopped and John Emerson,
president of the Actors Equity Associa-
ilon, and George MacQuarrie, an
actor. went to investigate. They
found Patrolman Joseph A. Reuschele,
OF the West 177th Street station. He
was lying on his back. his cap pulled
down over his eyes, and clutching a
revolver in his right hand. Four
cartridges from this revolver had been
discharged.
hasty examination showed that the
patrolman was dead, bullet having
entered below the heart and ploughed
through his body.
The discovery of the body was re-
ported to patrolnlan Brennan, of the
West 177th Street station, and an Of
fetal examination of the body was
made short time later. Inspector
Coughlin, in charge of the detective
bureau, was notified and Headquarters
detectives were Immediately assigned
to the case.
Reuschele's life was recently
threatened, the police said, by person
whom he arrested.
Reuschele met his death in a par
ticularly desolate section of the Drive,
and the police are convinced that he
had exchanged shots with his assail-
ants before he was struck.
The occupants of the car in which
Mr.. Emerson and Mr.. MacQuarric were
riding did not hear any shots fired.

Cuyler Confirms Report
of Conference; Says Dis
cussion Will Be General

Managers of the nations principa)
railroads will meet soon to discuss q
general reduction Of freight rates, it
was reported yesterday.
ihe Tribune last night asked Thomas
Gle witt Cuylcr, chairman of the Asso-
citation Of Railway Executives, the ma
tlonal mouthpiece of railroad manage
ment, about the reported meeting. Mr.
Cuyler was reached by telephone at
Bar Harbor, Me.
"A meeting of the association" Mr.
Cuyler said, "has been called for Octo-
Der ID at Chicago to discuss railroad
matters generally, not specifically to
discuss rates"
"Will the question of rates be dis
cussed?' he was asked
Mr.. Cuyler repeated that the con-
ference was called to discuss the rail
road situation generally, and not spe-
clhcally to consider ratcs
Rates Must Come Down
The calling of the meeting was in
terpreted by close observers of the
transportation system TO mean that
executives are sensitive to the fact
that railroad rates cannot remain up
indefinitely while commodity prices
fall. During the first six months of the
present year. when the carriers, as a
whole, failed to earn the per cent
on their property intended under the
terms OF the transportation act of 1920,
there was no sentiment among rail
road executives to correct the situa-
tion by further rate increases. as there
was fairly general feeling that rates
were as high as the traffic could bear.
There has been . difference Of opin-
ion among railroad men as to whether
high rates have been responsible to an
important degree for the heavy slump
in traffic which is phase of the gen
eral business depression. Since July
railroad earnings have shown marked
improvement.
To decrease rates the railroads
would have to go through almost the
same formality as to raise them. The
approve adjustments in either direction,
it was pointed out.
Means Wage Reduction
Although railroad executives are loath
to talk for publication about rate and
wage changes. many believe that a
downward revision of freight rates
would involve a further reduction of
wages. There have been indications in
the house organs of the railroad broth
erhoods and in the remarks of the
leaders that further wage reductions
would lead to a strike.
The members of the railroad brother
hoods are now voting on the question
Of strike over the 25 per cent wage
decrease as of July 1, ordered by the
Railway Labor Board at Chicago, and
the changes in rules and working con-
ditions, and the returns will be known
early next month. The enginemen and
firemen have already voted for strike
but Warren S. Stone, grand chief Of
the Brotherhood of Locomotive En-
gineers, in an interview in The Trb-
unc predicted that SO per cent of the
members Of his organization would
veto strike vote and seek compro-
mise with individual roads or groups

BOSTON, Sept. 27-Colonel A. Piatt
Andrew. of Gloucester, Republican, was
elected to Congress in to-day,s special
election in the 9th District by majority
of 15.757. He received more than three

While tc-days total vote was less
than 80 per cent of that cast in the dis
trict last fall. Andrews total of 22,54s
was more than 76 per cent Of the total
while Lufkin's 47,231 last November was
just 75 per cent of the total.
The Republicans, therefore, are en-
titled to more than the satisfaction
from Andrews victory, which has been
conceded from the start. They have
been able to maintain the lines estab,
lished in last November's record vote
in the face of vigorous campaign by
the Democrats to create dissatisfaction
with what has been done by the Re
publicsns since they came into powe,

Loses Only One District
Andrew carried every city and town
in the district except Amesbury. his
opponents home, which went fox the
Democratic candidate by 81 votes
Gloucester, home city of the Republi-
can candidate, which gave him the un-
precedented ratio Of 18 to l in the
primary election, was almost d, i'm
pressive in to-day's return, Andrew
carrying the city by 1864 votes, or g
ratio of Is to 1.
The small total vote indicated that
the electorate regarded the election
as an anti-clmax to the strenuous
campaign for the Republican nomina-
tion. for the total received by both
candidates to-day was less than that
cast in the Republican primary alone
two weeks ago.
Primary Scars Healed
The Andrew vote showed that the
acrimonious primary campaign had
left no scars, for he ran particularly
strong in places which we're friendly to

while Pettingell's vote there was less

O'Connell, the Democratic candidate
against Lufkin.
Pettingells strength appeared only
in the communities adjacent to Ames-
bury, such as Salisbury, West Newbury
and Merrimack, all of which cast very
small votes, however. His campaign
apparently made little headway in the
southern end of the district, in spite

PARIS, Sept. 27.-Unless the Wash
ington conference in November can
find way to give France the moral
support of the Allies in the event of a
new German-made war, to take the
place of the military aid promised at
Versailles, but still unapproved by
Great Britain and the United States,
the French delegates will not discuss
the reduction of land armament. No
matter how long the parley lasts,
France will block progress on this
phase of armament limitation until
her safety is guaranteed by other ma
tions.
The French delegation which goes to
America will carry the necessary argu-
ments and data to convince the ma
jority of the distinguished men who
will sit at the conference table that
German adherence to the terms of the
Versailles treaty so far is mainly the
result of the maintenance Of a French
army large and powerful enough to
enforce the treaty.
France Must Watch Germany
There are few Frenchmen in and out
of the government who arc convinced
that Germany has at any moment
ceased to be menace or that the pres

Skeleton Of Diplodocus
Found by Road w orkers

FORT SCOTT, Kan. Sent. What
is believed to be the skeleton of pre-
historic diplodocus was dug up to-day
by workmen employed on the Jefferson
Highway, ten miles south of here. En-
gineers have requested representatives
of the Kansas State University to take
and preserve it.
The fossil was identified from the
large, ribs and pelvic bones and the
vertebrae.
The d plodocus is the best known of
the dinosaurs. The first skeleton of
this type of browsing land reptile with
aquatic habits was dug up in 1872 in
Canon City. Col 1t measured eighty
four feet lone, twelve feet nine inches
high, and had brain cavity the size of
walnut.

SEATTLE, March 5-Fed eral Judge Jeremiah Neterer has denied motion for an injuinction against the Alaskan Engineering commission, sought by the Puget Sound Machin cry Deport, in an effort to prevent the commission from awarding d contract for a coal washing machine to another and higher bidder. The amount involved is $67,OOO.
 The court held that the fact that the plaintiff had submitted a lower bid did not give him a vested right.
