Called Most Arbitrary

Ffcns ne TztunSS washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, Sept. 21.-The ex-
pulsion from Germany of the Rev. DR..
Charles P. Fagnani. professor in Union
Theological Seminary, New York City,
with his wife, will be investigated. by
the American State Department if anv
action is desired of the government
by the American travellers, it was in
dicated to-day by officials who read
the Paris cabled report of the incident.
Upon receipt of any protest from
DR.. Fagnani American Commissioner
Ellis Dresel, in Berlin, will be asked
to institute an investigation to ascer-
tain the grounds for the deportation of
the American travellers. Whether any
protest could be laid before the Ger
man Foreign Office over the action of
the German police who escorted DR..
Fagnani and Mrs, Fagnani into French
territory depends upon the results of
Commissioner Dresel's inquiries.
Officials declared to-day that the &C
ton of the German authorities in ex-
polling the New York travellers be-
cause Of DR.. Fagnani's anti German
activities appeared to be most
arbitrary proceeding. They pointed
out that this government could not
deport undesirables without giving
them an opportunity to be heard be-
fore immigration auth critics or the
courts, and that it was to be expected
from other nations that similar
privilege to defend themselves be ac-
corded Americans whose presence was
not desired

3 Treaties Sent
To Senate for
Speedy Action
While Opposition to German
and Other Pacts Is Elk

Sure of Early Notifications
Borah Is Ready for Battle
Belief Is Senator Will Con-

Keep Its Troops ON Rhine

From Tho Tribunes Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, Sept. 21.-President
Harding to-day submitted the German.
Austrian and Hungarian peace treaties
to the Senate. Indications tonight are
that the treaties will arouse sharp dis
cussion, but that this controversy will
not be protracted and that the pacts
will be ratified. President Harding has
advised leaders he is anxious for quick
ratifcations.
Senator Lodge, chairman Of the For
eign Relations Committee, called a
meeting Of the committee, to which the
treaties were referred, for tomorrow
morning. The committee probably will
vote to report the treaties tomorrow
or soon afterward. Senator Lodge made
it plain he did not expect the commit
tee would decide to have hearings.
1t will be the purpose of the leaders
on the committee to carry out the
wishes of the President as to quick
action. Senator Lodge said last night
sessions of the Senate might be held in
order to consider the treaties. IL this
plan is followed i will be easily pos
sible to consider the tax bill on the
afternoons, and treaties and tax re-
vision can run along side by side.
1t has been informally decided to
hold open sessions for the considera-
ton of the treaties. Opponents Of the
treaties are insisting on open sessions
and cite the fact that the Versailles
Treaty was considered in the open.
Senator Borah is preparing to lead
the fight against ratification The strup.
gle will center about the German
treaty.
Senator Borah to-day reaffirmed that
he was opposed to this agreement. He
contended that, apart from the League
of Nations the German treaty will in
volve this country with those parts of
the Versailles Treaty which are most
open to objection.
One of the points which will be
argued by Senator Borah against the
treaty is that under it, as a matter

Chief Deskaheh, confident that the

Chief Deskaheh is one Of forty-eight
chiefs Of the Six Nation clans of
Grand River, which comprise about
5000 members, engaged principally in
farming. The chiefs, he explained,
we're selected by the women, who also
have the word in land matters.
When it comes to suffrage, the wom-
en- of our people havesenjoyed this right
longer than any other" said Chief Des-
kaheh. 1--WE always abide by their de-
cision in the selection of chiefs. This
custom of permitting the women to rule
in politics began hundreds of years ago,
when the men were away fighting or
hunting"

best sailors on the Olympic.

Swims Back to Hospital
While Police Drag River

Stephen Nixon, sixty-hve years old,
an inmate in the Metropolitan Hospital
on Blackwell's Island, who disappeared
from his ward early yesterday morn
ing, swan ashore at the island last
night. While the police were search
ing the river for his body, Nixon de-
clared that he swan over to the Man
haitian shore and back.
Nixon, clad in his pajamas, jumped
from the island into the East River
approximately opposite Seventy-ninth
Street. He told the. authorities that
he swan to Manhattan against strong
current. The trip took him almost an
hour, and when he reached the pier
at the foot of Seventy ninth Street, he
was unable to pull himself out.
Nixon said that he was afraid to
call for help, and so decided that the
best thing was to swim back to the
island. He was almost exhausted when
he attracted the attention of an at
tendant walking on Blackwell bank, He
was returned to the hospital and ap-
peared to have suffered little from his
swim.

GENEVA, Sept. 81 (By The Associ-

the United States will waive priority
of payment of PREPARATIONS and other
credits to permit the application of
the plan for the economic restoration
Of the country, Count Mensdorff. head
Of the Austrian delegation, informed
the financial committee Of the League
Assembly to-day.
Ut seems most unlikely" he said,
that the great Republic whose people
came forward when our distress was
at the worst and when famine was
threatening in Vienna, and in a mag
nlficent movement of philanthropy for
more than two years provided food for
hundreds of thousands Of children,
should stand back when other coun-
tries already have released u.s."
The discussion Of the situation be-
fore the committee developed that the
restoration plan is ready for execution
whenever the United States government
joins with the other countries.
Leagues Sessions Tiresome
The Assembly resumed it's sessions
to-day and heard reports Of the humani-
tartan committee. There was much talk
among the delegates that the method
Of procedure Of the Assembly should
be changed, as interest is entirely lack
ing in the sessions, where defegates
read lengthy reports which are already
printed and in the hands of every
body.
AT to-morrow's session Latvia, Es-
thonia and Lithuania will be admitted
to membership. Immediately afterward
the Wilma dispute will come before che
Assembly, with both Polish and Lithu-
anian delegates present to state their
cases.
Count Apponyi arrived to-day to
present Hungary's claim for admission.
He declared that the report that Hun
garian troops were in Burgenland was
absolutely untrue and that all the
trouble there was caused by local
armed bands, for which the Hungarian
government was not responsible.
The admission of Hungary will be
opposed by the Little Entente" Ru-
maria, Jugo-Slavia and Czecho-Slovakia,
with the probable support of Poland.
To Hear Albania's Complaint
The Council decided to-day to take
up Albania's complaint Of Serbian ae-
gression on the Drina. M. Spalaiko-
witch, the Jugo- Slav delegate, was de-

whereby the members Of the Six Ma

GAS DECLARED USELESS
 AGAINST BOIL WEEVlL
Bx Associnted Press

Washington, February Sits mis- take. The boil weevil is not to be sassed out of the cotton belt as sug- gested by army folk recently. No plans for such an enterprise are in contemplation, according to J. L.. Webb. in charge of the anti-insect crusading in southern fields for the department of agriculture.
 One thing. Mir. Webbs statement to- day said it can't be done Apparently boil weevils arc equipped with gas masks. Observations have indicated they can stand more poison gas than any human. and to- try and gas them out of, their dugouts in cotton bolls would menace the lives of humans and animals in the vicinity. Instead, Mir. Webb said, the government experts will stick to the safe and effective method of dusting a little arsenate of lime discourager on cotton plants as T m easure of control
 "Eradication of the weevil,v he added, lis impossible. It is possible. however. by this poison to keep down the number of weevils to such an .ex- tent that good crop of cotton can be raised"
