DECKwITH CALLED ERRATIC.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Col. April a
Prof Holmes Beckwith was a member
of the Colorado College faculty from the
fall of 1919 to the spring of 1920. He
was considered erratic here and he was
not popular either with his fellow pro-
fessors and instructors or the students
Under him. He had penchant for tell
ing stories that were considered risque
for Christian college. When he an
nounced that he was offered a position
at Syracuse he was advised to accept 1t,
as 1t was not the intention of the dean
here to recommend his appointment.

MEDICAL MAN WHO
 SPOKE MIND FIRED
Had Medical Capacity But No Executive Ability, Says
 Bureau Head
By As.oelat.d ,.r.ss

Washington, September 1s.-The summary dismissalp of pr. Haven Emerson, medical adviser of the United States veterans bureau, whc was quoted as having said in a speech as Columbus, O., yesterday that the bureau was being made the foot ball of politics." was announced to- night by Director Leon Fraser.
 Col C. B. Forbes, director of the bureau, who Is on an inspection trip to the Pacific coast. declared in statement sent to the bureau for publication that Dr. Emerson's charge that s500,000 was being used for political patronage. is unquali- fiedly false" "I expected some such silly statement from a disgruntled employe whose services have proved unsatisfactory" the statement ss i'd.
 The facts are that I found, the medical division under his direction. in chaotic condition little short of a public scandal. He had 65,000 cases awaiting action and was logfng ground every day while sick and destitute men clamored for aid. Dr. Emerson, though of high profession al medical capacity, demonstrated such complete absence Of executive aoihty or administrative common sense that I was forced to place a medical executive officer, Lieut. Col. R. U. Patterson in charge of the d. vision and to indicate to pr. Elmer son that his services were no longer desired"

THIRTY WANT REPRESENTATION IN COURT OF JUSTICE
Competition Among Members Brings Life to Sessions of League - Siam l.
 In the Race

Geneva, September 13.-The compe- tition among about 35 out of 4S states, members of the League of Ma tions, for the II seats on the bench of the international court of justice and for the four seats In the council of the league gave more life to the sessions of the assembly today than has been shown all through the dragging debate on the work of the league.
 The aims of the league leaders to have represented on the bench of the international court all the principal geographical divisions of the world, as well as all races, have been some what complicated by the ambitions of most states to be represented. Siam wants member both on the court and in the council, while South America announces that it will be content with ohe member in the council. but desires not less than three on the court.
 Eighty Are Nominated
 1IOIS iCuldil oO AdIuSS Oii NhC Ai9N of nominations, including that ot Elihu Root, who is not regarded as having officially declined. Only about 35 of them, however, are expected to receive votes. Six of these are re- garded tonight as practically certain of election. They are Viscount Fin lay, Great Britain; Dr. Andre Weiss, France; Yorozu Oda, Japan; Com mendatore Dionise Anzilotti. Italy; Dr. Ruy Barbosa. Brazil, and Dr. E, r. c. Loder, of Holland.
 John Bassett Moore of the United states is regarded as a strong prob ability. Competition for the four remaining seats & very likely between South and Central America, Scandi- navia, the Slavs, the Czechs and the British dominlons
 Antonio $. DeBustamente of Cuba, is much favored as well as Dr. Ale jandro Alvarez of Chile. 1t is impos- sible to figure how the South and Central Americans can elect more than one judge, so strong IS the pres sure of other countries. which other wise would be left unrepresented., Dr. Max Huber, of Switzerland was most prominently elected this evening as d German speaking candidate. Judge Didril1 Nyholm of Denmark, and Judge H. Jalmar Harramsk joid of sweden are favored by the Scandina- vians: Michailo JonancVo by the Slavs and Czechs while Sir Robert L., Borden of Canada is the leading can didate of the dominions.
 Chile After Seat
 It is thought likely that Chile will succeed Brazil as one of the fodr nonpermanent members of the coun- cil. Czecho Slovakia is strongly sup ported to succeed Spain, while Clina under the resolution adopted under a resolution last year, providing that one of the nonpermansnt seats should go to Asia would be entitled to a seat again. But the point has been raised that this was mere, statement of sentiment by the last assembly and was not adopted as a part of the procedure.
 sweden is strong candidate for the seat Occupied by Belgium
