It was officially announced to-day by
President Hughes that DR.. Youngs
duties. as junior dean will be taken
over by DIR. Edgar Ewing Brandon,
dean of the senior college, and it is
expected that DR.. w. E. Anderson, Of
the department of mathematics, will
take over DIR. Young's classes.
Another point gained by the student
body is their reinstatement Of j. w.
Fetherline, of Greenfield, who was COM

spite the fact that q physician had
certified that the young mans physical
condition would not permit of hi9 TAX

Hugh Smollen, day manager Of the
Chres Billiard Parlor on the second
floor at 1849 Broadway, demonstrated
yesterday afternoon just how billiard
balls can be used to protect ones self
and ones establishment when other
weapons are not at hand. The police
say Smollen feels pretty sure that the
next time Cornelius Brady decides 80
rob somebody's cash register he'll go
somewhere else than to billiard par
lor.
Brady, whose temporary residence
is q police station, and whose per-
manent residence is at 813 Fifty-ffth
Street, Brooklyn, sauntered into Snol-
lens billiard parlor late yesterday
afternoon. 1t was deserted at the
time, save for Smollen.
Brady, according to what Smollen
told the police and what the police told
reporters, made inquiries concerning
the parlor's cash register that Smollen
considered just little too pointed. He
told his visitor as much. Brady, it is
said, then dropped his honeycd words
and spoke rather harshly. With q
hand in his right trousers pocket he
suggested that Smollen step back into
the wash room and intimated that a
number of unpleasant things might
happen IL Smolien didn't move quickly.
Smollen, sulleE but obedient, was
soon out Of sight, and Brady, it Is said,

ALBANY, May 10.-Governor Miller
to-day signed the New York City alder
manic reapportionment bill. Imrnedi-
ately Democrats here announced that
the constitutionality of the law would
be tested in the courts.
"The law, / am certain, will be pro-
nounced unconstitutional" said Assist
ant Corporation Counsel Wallin, of New
York City, "and the New York County
Democratic Committee, which will make
the appeal, will cite as one of the
principal grounds for asking that the
act be held invalid the fact that in
1909 Charles E. Hughes, then Governor,
vetoed bill which had been passed by
the Legislature under similar circum-
stances, then held to be in violation Of
the state constitution by the then At
torney General, Mr.. O'Malley, view
concurred in by Mr.. Hughes"
The law makes the boundary lines of
the Aldermanic districts in New York
City, with the exception Of two dis
trcts IN Brooklyn, coterminous with
the boundaries of the Assembly dis
tricts. The significance of this lies in
the fact that last fall thirty-two Of
the sixty-one Assemblymen from New
york City were straight Republicans.
Under the new reapportionment unless
there is radical change In the vote
on Election Day, Tammany will surely
lose control of the Board of Aldermen.
Republicans from New York City figure
that the best Tammany can hope for is
IN kox fa,,
than the Republicans. In that event
the Socialist minority would have the
balance of power.
Returned by the Mayor
The reapportionment bill was passed
by the Legislature on March 81. The
Endorsement on the bill shows that it
was transmitted TO the Mayor" on
that date. 1t was repassed by the
been returned by the Mayor The
journals of both houses show that the
Legislature adjourned on April 16,
1921.
The bill was returned to Governor
Miller by Assistant Corporation Coun-
sci Wallin without the approval of
Mayor Hylan at 11:45 p. m. April 49,
Officially the Legislature had adjourned
nearly twelve hourse before. The ac-
tual fact was that it did not adjourn
until seven hours after the receipt of
the bill from the Mayor. The fact
also, and admitted to be the fact, is
that the bill was repassed at 2:45
a. m. April II. This fact was duly
recorded by the Democrats at the time,
but Speaker Machold ruled that the
courts had already passed on like
question, and held that the Legislature
was acting within rights when it fixed
the legislative time arbitrarily as is
its custom on adjournment date.

LONDON, May 10.-Colonel George
Harvey, United States Ambassador
to the Court OF st. James's, arrived at
Southampton on TIE Aquitania this aft
ernoon and reached London this eve
ming. He was welcomed at the docks
by representatives. of the Embassy
here, VIII. accompanied him to London.
Officials of the British government
and many Americans were at Water
loo station when his train pulled in.
In Southampton the new Ambassador
was greeted by city officials, who well
coined him to this country. He replied
briefly, assuring them that America
was aware of her responsibilities. In
an interview on his arrival in London
Colonel Harvey said
Il am directed by my government
to extend to you of England the full CO.
operation of America in all good
works.
See New Era at Hand
Official London halls Harvey's COM
ing as marking the beginning of new
era in Anglo-American relations. In
terest in the personality Of the Am
bassador has been completely over
shadowed by Britain's desire to know
what Americas policies are to be and
how they are to be handled through
thls new representative. Profound
satisfaction is expressed on all sides
that Americas counsel has come back
to Europe at this juncture. The news
papers recall George Canning's phrase:
II called the new world into existence
to redress the balance of the old"
Many of the newspapers foresee
America playing much bigger part in
Allied conferences than President Har-
ding has announced. They vizualize
the representatives of the Washington
government as doing much more than
acting as spectators.
Considerable confusion still exists
here over the reasons behind Presi-
dent Harding's decision that America
shall resume her seat on the Supreme
Council and other Allied conference
bodies. The Morning Post reprints
long extract from the Tribune's
Washington dispatch yesterday as rep
resentative of American feeling. The
newspaper goes on to say that there
has been dramatic upheayaI in
Washington officialdom. 1t continues:
"Harding's decision gives cold comfort
to the irreconcilables, who are so be-
wildered that they wander around in a
daze. The men who thought they
knew President Harding best find that
there is new Harding since March
A."

Adoption While Problem

With Allies Is Unsolved
No Strife With Congress

No Present Intention of
Re-Sul1n,itting the Treaty

WASHINGTON May 1o.-President
Harding is not asking for delay in the
adoption by the House of peace reso-
luton, it was said to-day in high Ad-
ministration quarters, but because Of
the situation in Europe growing out of
the reparations settlement ne ia moi
Insisting that there should be any
haste in putting the measure through.
1t was said that at the time of the
enactment of the resolution by the Sem
ate the President was asked whether
there was any reason for delay in the
adoption of the legislation there, and
the Senate WAS informed that there
was none. To emphasize that there was
no conflict between the President and
Congress. however, it was stated that
it was thought advisable not to inject
a possible complication in the repara-
tlons settlement between the Allies and
Germany by the passage of the resolu-
tion by the House at this time.
1t was not indicated whether any
pressure one way or another would be
brought by the Executive to obtain
adoption of the resolution in the
House after the present reparations
crisis has passed.
After the Cabinet meeting to-day
Senator Lodge, of Massachusetts,, the
Republican leader, called on President
Harding to discuss foreign affairs. He
said afterward that there was nothing
new with regard to the status of the
Knox peace resolution.
Asked what about the Treaty of Yer-
sailles, the Senator said:
well, things can't be done in a min
ute"
Other Senate leaders said it was
their understanding that President
Harding had no present intention of
returning the treaty to the Senate.
Reports of development in the Euro
pean situation were received at the
State Department to-day from Ambas-
sador Wallace, the unofficial repre-
sentative of the American government
sitting with the Conference of Ambas-
sadors, and from Roland w. Boyden,
who is sitting unoficiaIly with the
Reparations Commission. Officials gem
orally expressed satisfaction with the
first results from what was character
lied as the governments system of
diplomatic listening posts.

BERLIN, May 10. - Serious differ
ences have arisen within the Inter-Al-
lied Plebiscite Commission in Upper
Silesia, resulting in a break in the
bod ! personnel, according to German
dispatches from Breslau.
1t is reported that the Italian and
British members Of the commission
have protested against the alleged pro-
troops are in the great majority, to
stamp out the Polish insurrection.
The break between members of the
commission is said to have assumed q
personal character. The Italian Com
missioner Passagli is said to have re-
signed, as have two British and one
Italian district commissioners, because
of the failure of the French in Op-
peln TO supply them with enough
troops 80 maintain order in other parts
Of the district.
Terrific Battles On
Terrific fighting has been going on
IN different parts of the country. The
Poles in storming attacks on the har-
Dor positions at Kosel lost SEQ killed
and many wounded, according to re-
ports received here. In battle near
Czerwionka thirty Italians were killed,
fifty wounded and fifteen taken pris-
oner. More than seventy were Killed
in running fight beyond Kosel when
German police troops, aiding the Allied
River as far as Jakobswalde.
A battle for possession of the rail-
road junction of Kandrzin was waged
all day to-day, with the Poles finally
occupying the city with the aid of ar
mored cars and artillery. The Ital-
ians and Germans offered heavy resist
ance and gave ground slowly, but were
so completely outnumbered that they
were forced to retreat from their po-
.sitions. The Poles were in the city
for q time this morning, but the Allied
and German forces elected them in q
counter assault, only to be driven out
in turn at nightfall.
In the Rybnik and Pless districts the
Poles repeatedly have been hurled
back by the italian field artillery. The
Allied gunboats in the harbor at Kosel
have played a part in actions along the
river. At Nikolai the Italians have in
trenched themselves in preparation for
a threatening Polish attack.
Poles Are Reinforced
The Poles are occupying part of
Koenigshuette, but the railroad station,
the business district and the harbor
are still in the hands of the inter-
Allied troops. Police reinforcements,
consisting of troops from General Hal
ler's army, in full uniform and equip
ment are being brought up steadily,
despite the denial of the Warsaw gov
eminent that troops are leaving that
country. Dispatches from Kattowitz
assert that more than thousand Hal
Ter troops, equipped with heavy artil-
lery, are in that district.
Extensive preparations For resist
ance by the Germans are being or
ganized in Silesia. In one place 1000
volunteers are said to have been en-
listed in one hour in a German defense
corps.
