LONDON. February 25.-More
than 1000 Jews were victims of

mer anti bolshevik leader. in the
regions of Minsk and Hamel, ac-
cording to n statement issued to-

Character, the statement declares.
women being mistreated and tor
tured and children being muir
dered in cold blood. Hundreds of
children were made orphans.
The possessions of the Jews
were looted. the statement adds,
and great numbers of them were
made homeless.
Reports from Jewish sources in
Warsaw last December told of
pogroms carried out by the troops
OF Gen. Balakovitch in the Minsk
region. where he adopted an in
surgent course and continued
lighting after the Poles and Rus
slams had ceased hostilities The

WILL QUIT BUILDING
If IT T|SFOUNDU UNFIT
Health Officials Will Investi-
gate Hamilton Sch0oI-Use
of a Roof Suggested.

The Hamilton public school for
Observation-Disclosures children will be
closed if investigation by the health
department proves the charges made
relative to the unhealthy conditions
at the institution, school officials
stated today. They contend that al
though conditions at the school are
not ideal 1T should not be condemned
Fowler. District health officer, also
expressed the same opinion.
DR.. Fowler pointed out that health
department authorities already have
made a survey of the school, and as
certained that the conditions are mot
to believe" He stated that after
making the investigation he sent a
communication to Superintendent Of
Schools Ballou. recommending some
improvements that should be made
at the school.
School officials made it clear that
they are not averse to removing the
school from its present loc1tton on
the Bladensburg road to more ac-
cessible place in~the city and In q
modern building. They claim. how
tions cannot be obtained from Con-
gress for new building.
Use Of Roof Suggested.
It has been suggested to school off,
cials by persons seeking the removal
of the Hamilton School that the
thirty-four children enrolled there
could be quartered on the roof of one
of the city schools. They believe that
there are a number Of schools in the
city which could care for the tuber-
cular-infected children IL the roofs
OF the buildings were properly ar
ranged for open-air classes. The
West, John Eaton and Randall High
lands schools were cited as some Of
the schools which could care for the
children now at the Hamilton School.
The roof on one of these three
schools. it is stated. could be arranged
for open-air classes for the tubercular-
infected children. at a slight cost. II
this were done, it is claimed, a new
building would not be necessary, and
the children would not be forced to
travel the distance they now do to
reach the Hamilton School.
Walter 3. Patterson, director Of spe-
cial schools. who has direct control OF
the Hamilton School. is strongly in
favor Of placing this institution under
the jurisdiction of the health depart
ment. Under this arrangement, he
said. children could be placed In a
hospital and classes held for them in
such an institution by school officials.

DISCUSS D|SARM|NG
ATLEAGUE COUNCIL
American Note Temporarily
Dropped by Mandate Board.
Geneva Plans Up.
Dy tie Associated Press.


PARIS. February 25.-The resolu-
tions of the Geneva assembly of the
league Of nations regarding disarma-
ment were taken up by the council
of the league at today's session here
Particular consideration was given
the assembly's recommendation that
the powers limit their armament
budgets for the next two years to
amounts not exceeding those expend-
ed last year.
The councils session today was a
private one, but was not surrounded
with the same degree of secrecy as
yeSterday's session. when the ..Ameri-
can note on mandates presumably was
under consideration. Further consfd-
GRAFTON OF the American communica-

bers of the council from their re-
spective governments.
There have been forecasts that the
whole question raised by the United
States in claiming equal concern and
interest with the other principal al

position OF Germany's overseas posses
sions must go to the supreme council.
the leagues council feeling unable to
take decisive dCtIOn Oh SUCH u QQGS-
tion OF international policy, 1t was
said, without approval by the heads
Of the various governments repre-
sented.
One Theory Advanced.
The secrecy of the proceedings of
the council of the league yesterday
provoked lively speculation as to the
effect Of the American note upon the
different members. 1t became known
when the full text of the note was
in addition to making reservations
with respect to the Island of zap, at
tri buted to Japan as mandatory,
claimed an equal concern and inter-
est with the other principal allied
and associated powers in the dispo-
sition of the overseas possessions of
Germany.
The theory has been advanced that
the only possible friendly solution of the
question again brought to the forefront
BY the United States would be for Japan
TO say that she did not insist upon the
mandate for the Island Of Yap and would
be agreeable to the internationaliZatio ton
OF Yap under Japanese supervision.
Doors Closed Tight.
Thus far the Japanese government has
not committed itself. and the members
Of the council Of the league are unable
in any event to take decided position
on a question of international policy
without approval Of their governments.
The adversaries Of publicity in con-
nection with the proceedings of the
council succeeded in Theoretically closing
both morning and afternoon sessions
yesterday. Very little leaked out through
indiscretions as to details of the discus
sions. and no official communique was
issued.
The agenda yesterday called for the
hearing Of representative of the Swiss
government on its refusal of permission
to contingents Of troops detailed by the
league to keep order in the Wilma plebi-
scite zone 10 cross Switzerland, and
also Polish complaints that Austria was
not only refusing the naturalization of
Galician Jews. who had taken refuge in
Austria from Galician territory detached
by the treaty Of St. Germain, but was
threatening them with expulsion.
Neither of these questions appears to
have been discussed.
