Rail Wreck Causes Editor
To Miss Harding Trip
Marion Journalist, Invited by
! President, Arrives After
Mayhower Has Sailed

From, The Tribune's Washington Bslrcau
WASHINGTON, Sept. g. Wouldn't it
make you mad if you had been invited
by the President of the United States
to take a three-day cruise on the May
flower and a train wreck caused you
TO miss the Mayfiower?
Briggs never conceived anything half
SO tantalizing, according to George Van
Fleet, Of Marion, Ohio, the managing
editor of the Presidents paper, "Thc
Marion Star" With Mrs. Van Fleet
he was en- route East from Ohio Friday
when serious wreck took place not
far, from Columbus, which delayed his
train by so many hours that when Mr..
and Mrs. Van Fleet arrived here the
Mayflower had sailed. The disappoint-
ment Of the Van Fleets mays well be
imagined.
The President and Mrs. Harding on
their return here to-day did all in their
power to atone for the disappointment.
Mrs. Van Fleet spent the greater part
of the day motoring with Mrs. Harding
and tonight the Van Fleets were the
guests of the President and Mrs. Har-
ding at dinner. They will remain as
house guests at the White House for
severas days.

Sheriff Richardson and his deputy
tried to push Machado into the auto

weighs more than 200 pounds. He is a
F'laborer, and husky one He threw
Sheriff Richardson one way and his

what would happen. The two officials
rashly returned to the attack and
again were sent flying All Bowling

Spectators clogged the street. Ser
geant Brown and Patrolman Brogan
pushed their way through the crowd in
a sidecar motorcycle. Sheriff Richard

tackled Machado. He had no use for
policemen who used motorcycles A

Old Slip police station.
1t took the. reserves ten minutes to
get Machado down and anchor him by
sitting on him. They asked if he'd go
along to the police station nicely now
and Machado said yes he would if
they'd let him walk. Wisely they let
him walk, and Machado was so Modified
by this concession to his wishes that
when the time came to go to Bellevue

Document Calls Attention
to Fact This Government
Retains just Privileges
From The Trsbune's WASHINGTON Bureau

0ETS0u
WASHINGTON, Sept. 6.-Reiterat-
Ing the American policy of the open
door, with equal opportunities for all
the Allies in territory ceded by the
enemy as result of the war, Secretary
of State Hughes has dispatched iden-
tic notes to Great Britain, France, ia
pan and Italy on the general subject
of mandates, it was officially made
known to-day at the State Department.
While the text of the note was with
held, the new communication, which
went forward last week, is known to
have contained a reaffirmaton of the
principle of equality of privileges in
mandatory territory presented to the
Allies in earlier communications sent
by the former Administration and by
Secretary of State Hughes.
The Hughes note deals specifically
with Class A and B mandates as ad-
ministered under the League of Nations
and does not take up Glass C man
dates, under which the former German
islands in the Pacific, including the
Island of Yap, come. Glass A man
dates are those over the Near East
territory, Palestine and Mesopotamia
the natural resources of which, notably
oil, have been the subject OF previous
communications between this govern
ment and the Allied powers because of
the so-called petroleum concessions
agreed upon at the San Reno confer
encc.
America to Demand Rights
In the new communication the Allied
powers are informed that the United
Statesas one of the belligerents in
the war, has surrendered none of it's
rights secured to the principal Allied
and associated powers by the Treaty of
Versailles, Notwithstanding that this
government has not ratified this pact.
This government, the Allies are in
in determining the form all mandates
over ceded territory must take, but to
have these forms SO drawn as to
specifically guaranty that American
nationals shall not be Disseminated
against in the exploitation of the re-
sources of the territories under man
date.
The mandates now before the Assem-
bly, of the League of Nations are drawn
in such form as to give equality of
privileges to all members of the League
OF Nations. in them the United States
is directly Disseminated against and
the new American communication is for
the purpose of calling the attention of
the Allies to this fact in order that
proper provision may be made for the
protection of the United Statessaeainst
monopolistic concessions that may be
granted to nationals of other nations.
Il has never been the desire Of this
government to seek additional terri
tory in the distribution of the fruits

Lockwood Plans Appeal
The meeting of the Mayors commit
tee followed the announcement by SEM
atoY Lockwood last Saturday that he
would convene to-day the Lockwood
Joint Legislative Committee for In
vestigating the Housing Situation with
the purpose of appealing the decision
of the Appellate Term.
Invitations to attend the sitting or
the Lockwood committee have been
sent to Harold G. Aron,. counsel for
the appellants in the case, where the
40 per cent of the market value" de-
cision was rendered; William D. Guth-
rie and julius II. Cohen, counsel for
tho committee when the rent laws
were taken before the Court of APP
peals, and Elmer G. Sammis,, of coun-
sci for the housing committee.
After the meeting of the Mayors
committee Commissioner Hirshfield
declared to newspaper men that the
decision of the Appellate Term gives
to landlords profit of 20 per cent or
more on their investment. In the 5000
tdSeS examined Dy tne COnlmltCee, ne
said, only ten had been found where
the landlord owned the building out
right. In the other cases the build
ings were held with as high mortgages
as possible. Under the Appellate
TERMS decision the landlord is per-
mitted to collect 10 per cent on his
mortgage, upon which he pays but 6
per cent, thus clearing per cent net
profit upon another persons money.
The committee holds that 10 per
cent net profit of the landlords equity
gives him higher rate of interest on
his money than he could realize in> the
highest type of bonds. The interest
on mortgages under their ruling was
charged against expenses, thus leaving
the 10 per cent profit clear.
