LEAGUE COUNCIL IS
 IN SESSION TODAY
Among Items to be Disposed of Are The Island of Tap Mandate
 And That of Palestine

London, July 17.-(By Associated Press) council of the league of nations which was called to meet in London today for the first time in two years will grapple with a series of world problems instead of dealing with details of establishing the eagues machinery, which was the councils chief work at it's previous meeting in the British capital Ad- vocates point to this as indicating the steady progress which it has made during the two and one half years of it's existence.
 The most important subject on the agenda of the councils 18th meeting is ratificat ton of the A and man. dates, which was delayed by Ameri- cas- claim to be consulted as to the disposal of mandates and that her in terests as one of the allied and asso- ciated powers be safeguarded in the mandatory areas.
 The American agreement with Jap an regarding the island of Tap and the recent approval of the Palestine mandate which settled the points to which the United States took excep- ton enable the present council meet ing to proceed with the work of ap- proving of the mandate. Other sub jects for the councils consideration will be the report on reduction of ornaments, questions of reconstruc- ton, world health refugees and var ious political questions.

"PROXINfAJE CAVSE"

People having what they insist arc
 claims against the city for dana ses
 should understand fully that the law
 demands, in order 10 hold city lia ble
 tand the same rule applies to an in .
 diNiduaD that the wrong on the part
 Of the city must have been the ''prox- Innate cause" of the damages The law does not allow person to recover damages because. far back in the train of events leading up to the dam age, the city might have done some thing wrong which might or might not have brought the in iury.
 Where, as in a recent case where the claims committee refused dam ages, there was loose stone lying on the street, which might have been picked up by the tire of an automo- bile and thrown through a glass win dow. proof must be made in the first place that the city did wrong in allow lHe mat stone 10 be there on the street and secondly that the stone was picked up and thrown through the window in a way that the city might have known it would be picked up and thrown. The stone might have been thrown foot from its original posi- ton and then another foot by another machine. Then some passerby might have thrown it. The law must see that the damage to the claimant was the to- -be-eXpected result of an action of the city, or neglect of the city, either Of which must have been negligent, and that the damage was not the re- suit of unexpected contributing causes. The law will not stand for far fetched reasoning. The negligence must have been the direct cause of the damage, and the negligence must be shown with no contrlbutory negli- gence on the part of the claimant.

GOLF CHAMPIONSHIP

The National Golf championship was won by Gene Sarazen, d former New York caddy who worked on the Bridgeport links as well, because he made a fine, courageous finish in the contest, This American born of Italian parents proved himself the best golf CT over field which included the holding champion, the British cham pion and amateur and professional golfing stars of Great Britain and America.
 The game of golf has taken such hold on men and women of this coln try that the winning of such a tourna- ment is one Of the notable events in the field of sport The fact that it's greatest opponents are people of all ages gives the game character which makes its interest universal. Tn this game, however, as in all where physi- cal strength and courage and stamina are tested youth has an advantage that cannot often be overcome by the ad vantage of increased ability to con centrate which maturer years bring. The victory of Gene Sarazen, but twenty one years old. is an illustration of this point.
 There is reason to find satisfaction in the growing popularity of golf.

PROBATION REPORT

The report of Probation Officer Connolly is an Illuminating document. giving comprehensive information concerning his work, and leading to the conclusion that the amount of good accomplished by that officer is rarely appreciated. Mir Connolly is to be commended for the manner in which he has performed duties which are onerous and exacting, but
 which must bring great satisfaction in
 contemplation of the results ac-
 complished.
 MT. Connolly gives the opinion that the prohibition law may be regarded as a success. MT. Connolly's opinion on this matter is valuable only as the law has affected his work If some good did not come from prohibition, even partially enforced. among those with whom Probation Officers were thrown in contact, prohibition would be dismal failure certainly, for the greatest argument for it--and some believer the only argument-was and is the good it would do people in the position of those a probation officer sees in his work. Whether or not prohibition, as at present enforced, does enough good in that field to counterbalance the harm 1t does or may do in other ways, is matter en- tirely outside the scheme of things of any man limited in his labors to deal ing with one class of individuals.
 Opponents of prohibition argue that its rigid enforcement deprives men of personal liberty, with weakened char acters, or criminal characters as the result, An officer of the court deals with weak characters or criminal characters. An oficer of the court is not in a position to judge as to the effect of prohibition upon that great class of people which is made up, not Of weak and criminal characters. but of strong, upright men and women.

THE CAR SHORTAGE

The wealth Of economic informa. ton contained in Roger Babson's arti- cles is we'll illustrated in his letter of last Saturday The probable freight car shortage, predicted here some months ago, Is dwealt upon and the results it will bring mentioned. Mir Babsons statement that freight con- gestion, which will probably result from the acute car shortage predict ed, brings great earnings 10 railroads even thought they may be but temporary, is significant. There can be no question but that the roads have been trying to repair cars this past winter. But it is possible that their efforts might have been bit more successful their attempts to have plenty of cars on hand a little more strenuous were if not for this lact car shortage means freight congestion and freight congestion means high profits to the roads. al- ready showing very good earnings.
 MT. Babson reiterates, in this last statement, that there are reasons for believing that manufacturing will be more active this fall than it has been at any time this year, touching on this 
 fact IS another reason for the car shortage to be expected. It has been obvious for some time that the coal situation further complcates matters.
 The discussion of the freight car shortagesleads Mir Babson to a state ment the truth of which is apparent when considered, but which is striking when first mentioned. The price of

THE BRIGHT SIDE

II Is reported that the assessors
 expect the entries for 'merchandise
 on hand" and goods in course of
 manufacture" to be small for the past
 year. The condition of affairs, while
 reducing the grand list, has bright
 side that speaks plainly of increased prosperity,
 The smaller the total stock on
 hand" granted that trade will con- tinue with an upward trend if there is any charge at all-and a few there are SO pessimistic as 10 declare that trade will be worse than it has been in the last year-the greater must be the amount Of stock purchased in the year 10 come. There will not be as much unloading of stock carried over; there will be greater pur- chasing of new goods to meet the de- mand even thought it Is not greater than last year as the year starts with l'SV VI liN s'pNh iilhN lS Dlu' I ilN Nolli- paratively small quantity of goods in the process of manufacture means that more raw material will be moved. Thus the manufacturer will be the eainer in the increased number of articles purchased the producer of raw materials will be the gainer in the greater amount of those raw materials purchased by the manufacturer, the will be the gainer in the more advantageous contracts of pur- chase he is able to make now, and-the consumer, prohting by the lower prices the merchant Is charging, and the worker ngaged in manufacturing and producing both will gain because of the increased activity Of restocking which will be necessary according to the expectations of the assessors IS shown by their estimates of the small CT grand list.

UPWARD TREND TO
 PROSPERITY STILL
Steel Output Is Checked However,
 Less Coal Produced

New York, July l7-tBy Associat- major labor disputes stii contributing their elements of uncertainty, business and financial news during the past week suggest that the trend toward improvement is uninterrupted,
 Fear Car Shortage
 At present steel output Is eXrcrienc- ing mild check on account of the railroad strika, the stcci corporation s rate of operations having been reduc- Meanwhile the trade has developed certain amount of anNiet.' ofer a possible car shortage this fall, point ing out that the increase in new lusi- ness which would accDmpany termin- alton of the strike wou,d coincide with the active period Of crop move ment.
 Coal production for the week end ind July shows a marked decrease The falling off hardly reflects the gen era! trend Of things. however, as aside from the coal strike. the output was affected by tho July holiday. The loss of about 1.500,0 tons from the low production of recent weeks nevertheless served to intensity the drain on existing stocks Quick set tleement of the strike still seems un- likely, both operators and miners showing little disposition to agree to 2 temporary resumption of mining at the old wage scale.
 Crop Prospect Unchanged
 Crop prospects are practically un- changed. The department of agricul- ture grain estimate as of July in- dicates a fair yield. The winter wheat crop is placed at 69,O00,n00 bushels, or 1s,ooO,ooo bushels below last years crop, but the spring wheat outlook is enough better to bring the total of both crops up to 817,o00.Oo0 bushels This total is 21,o00,oO0 bushels more than last years. It is smaller than n four of the past eight years and arger than in the other four. A fair ,rop of corn is also in prospect. With prices little changed the present grain ,rop promises to be sufficiently good o insure the continuation of a revivel n general business.
 The weeks developments in the money market were quite consistent with expectation.

SLEEPS IN HORSE STALL
Wakefield, Mass. Man Accepts Judges Ruling to Escape Jail For Cruelty to His Horse.

Boston, July 17-Raynond w. Put nam. Wakefelds hard working ash collector went to bed in the horse stall of his barn at II Bennett street at l1:15 Saturday night, thereby car ryine out the first chapter of the or Ter of Judge Riley of Maiden District Court to spend two nights there or go to iaii for seven days, after he had been found guilty of neglecting his horses. Putnam completed the sec cnd chapter of drama in real life last night. -
 I'm doing this to prevent any more trouble" declared Putnam, as he shook up the hay in his stable bou- loir. kicked the battered old trunk that served as a dressing table and placed thereon lantern with a feebly nickering light.
 Early in the evening Chief Pollard of the Wakefield police force had in structed his men to visit the Putnam barn every hour to see if it's owner was complying with the order of the structed his men to keep away and to have nothing to do with the case.
 Any legal order of the court will be carried out. This order is illegal, he stated.
 At 11;15 Putnam appeared and be- gan his preparations for passing the night in the horse stall. Whether he slept or not is uncertain but the glow of the lantern through the hours of the night seemed to indicate that Put nam was still there.

THE MINERS REFTSAL

THE MINERS REFUSAL
 Tn regard to the hituminous held the miners refused the President arbitration plan because there woulc be no stipulation that the contention of the miners in regard to wage' would not be decided in their favor a rather ridiculous position to take They would not arbitrate about wages unless the wages would be left at the old scale. Moreover they would not arbitrate unless the commission was limited to reporting on the facts. They would not allow any interpretations to be made from those facts. no rec ommendaiions brought forward, The second reason for their refusal was that commented upon Saturday in these columns, They wanted to have all coal fields included. They did not want any non-union fields 10 be allow ed to continue their practices. This is what their refusal amounts to.
 In the anthracite fields the miners refused the Presidents plan because they had demanded certain things be done before any arbitration be ar ranged for Settle our claims they say and then we will arbitrate. It would seem that anyone would be wiling to arbitrate provided the demands made were met before the matters were arbiteted The stand of the miners IS illogical in this regard. If there is to be arbitration all things should be arbitrated; one side should not be granted favors as a bribe to obtain ar bitration of matters of less import ance.
 Reduced thus to cold facts the re- fusal of the miners to allow their de- mands to be considered by a commits sion according to the plan of the President, seems based on no sound reason. But the facts stated are plain. Their two demands in regard to the bituminous fields were first that the proposed commission be limited to findings of facts before anything else was done, and second, they interpret ed what the result of the commissions findings would be, namely that they would not extend to all the coal fields affected by the strike, In the anthra- cite fields the miners asked that, be fore arbitration be considered. the eight hour day be established, the unions recognized and the wages ad- justed upward. If these things had been offered, they say in effect, they might have accepted the Presidents plan to arbitrate.
 The operators are in a good posi- ton, now, to agree to the Presidents plan. The miners have refused it. The operators can lose little by accepting But little will begained. Lack of good faith in such acceptance would be charged and probably justifiably.
 The government has a chance to take over the mines and operate them temporarily. The government proba- bly, will not do this. The present ad ministration is not that sort. But it is believed that were a firm stand to be taken by the government; if it should begin honest steps to do that thing. the end of the strike would come i'm mediately Halfway measures will be slow to accomplish anything But the operators do not want the mines oper- ated by government any more than the Germans want France in the Ruhr district, The moment there seemed to be danger of such an event the opera tors would see to it that the strike was settled.
