BRANDEGEE IN FIGHT
 ON VALUE OF LEAGUE
(Continued from First Page)


 whether we ought to have ratified the dition of the world would have been if we had done so. Those who believe that if we had ratified the treaty of Versailles the Austrians would have loved the Italians, the Bolshevists would have loved the Poles, the Brit ish would have loved the French, and the Turks would have loved the Ar menians are welcome to their opinion, but it can never be established be- yond peradventure. xx The truth of the matter is although we may have, as certain senators believe, lost what they call our moral and spirit ual leadership of the universe, that the influence of the United States to- day. whether it is wise or beneficial or not. is paramount in the world and everybody knows it. In my opinion, if we had been in the league of na- tiobs, where we would not have a policy except by the unanimous con sent. of the other members Of the league and would have been fettered | by that unanimous consent, we would | bc utterly powerless a compared to the position of supreme influence which we occupy today"

BLAME: FOR ARSON
/ PLACED ON BANKS
New York Fire Chief Says
-
Accepting Policies for Loans
l. Leads to IncendiariSm.
Nv the Assnciatehp Press

Dy the Associated Press
NEW YORK, October 10 The
"pernicious practice" of certain banks
engaging in the fire insurance bust
srss amounts almost to a national
scandal, Fire Chief John Kenlon of
New York told the International Fire
Prevention Congress.
Contending that the action of banks
making loans on merchandise by ac-
cepting fire insurance policies as COL
lateral, frequently drove the borrower
to burn his stock in order to pay
off the loan, the veteran fire fighter
asserted.
"An the millions spent on correc-
tive fire prevention orders. the enor
nous amount expended for salaries
of fire prevention engineers and in
spectors, have been renered practical
~ nil. because of the growth of
arson, fostered by over-insurance and
wildcat pernicious banking. 1t is
time to call halt.
1T has been customary in the past
TO lay most of the responsibility for
companies and their lax methods of
Insurance" said Chief Kenlon. There
is another phase of this matter, how
ever. That is. the pernicious practice
OF bankers througout the country
engaging in the fire insurance bust
ness.
For a number of years banks other
than savings institutions have been
strenuously endeavoring to capture
fire insurance business. The prac-
tice amounts almost to scandal. 1t
is one of the causes of our enormos
fire losses. and Il is so insidious in
ITS operation that few persons are
aware of II.
THE placing of insurance by banks.
trust companies and other financial
organizations, other than savings
banks, is the cause of very large
amount of over insurance. and this
influence creates moral hazard
which engenders incendiarism."
8 Chief Kenlon quoted John NJ. Scott.
insurance commissioner of Texas, as
denopncin- banks or bankers agents
for engaging in the insurance bust
ness.
In the state of Kansas most of
the fire insurance is written by the
bankers" kenlon continued. "A bill
was recently introduced In the legis-
1ature to put stop to this question
able practice.
Conditions in the state of Penn
sylvania resulting from bankers writ
ing insurance became so evil that

missioner of that state, in May. 1922

"WOLF" BACK IN U. S.
Lamar, in Ell ?asc Jail, to Be Re-
turned to New York.

Ell PASO, Tex. October 10.-David
Lamar, widely known as the wolf
Of Wall street" slept in the El Paso
county jail last night after chase
that lasted eight months and covered
u large portion of Canada. the United
States and Mexico.
Lamar forfeited $4,000 bail bond
when he fled from New York after
being convicted of conspiring to in
terfere with foreign commerce In
war time. Twice the case was car
ried to the Supreme Court of the
United States and as often upheld.
When the case was finally affirmed
but before the mandate of the court
reached New York. Lamar disap-
peared.
Lamar was arraigned before the
United States commissioner here ard
an order for his removal to New
York was issued.

FIRE LOSS, $500, 900.
$50 Battle Providence Blaze for
Three Hours.

PROVIDENCE, r. l., October g.
Property loss Of 100000 was caused
here today by a spectacular fire
which was brought under control
only after a force of $50 men. includ-
ing hremen from other towns, had
battled the flames for three hours.
The fire. which is said to have origi-
mated in the Office of the Providence
Coal Company, spread rapidly to the
hay and grain warehouse of John
d. Peck. Inc. adjoining.
A dozen fire fighters were saved
from probably death by the action of
Patrolman IT. F. Sammon, who upon
seeing a brick wall about to buckle,
blew his police whistle and signaied
to the firemen to run back. AS they
ran the wall fell close behind them.
A few firemen suffered slight burns
and other injuries.

administered by the Secretary of the
Treasury. but added that any change
in the organization would endanger
the success of the primary aim of the
budget. which is economy in govern
ment expenditure.
Touching on the proposal to make
Congress instead of the Supreme
Court the judge of whether a statute
conforms to the Constitution, Senator
Pepper said the Constitution was the
body OF good resolutions for national
living, solemnly adopted by the ia
thers. If Congress, now so respons-
i've to popular sentiment" he added
Is to be permitted to decide what our
good resolutions mean and whether
or not they shall be applied in partic-
ular cases. how long, think you, will
the good resolution stand? Would 1t,
or would it not. be like authorizing
very thirsty man to interpret the Vol
stead act for himself?"
Taking up industrial problems, Sem
ator Pepper said. with regard to COM
pulsory railroad consultations, that
the prevailing opinion was that unless
the science of eugenics could be ap-
piled to railroads the government
might easily bring together a lot of
ill-aSsorted couples and that fruits of
such unions might become a formida-
Bile charge upon the public. Volun-
tary consolidation under the super
vision of the Interstate Commerce
Commission was more in favor at
present, he said.

Party Issue.
By the Associated Press.


CHICAGO. November 2.-Senator
George Wharton Pepper of Pennsyl-
vania in an address last night before
the Illinois Womens Republican Club
declared all opposition to prohibition
will not last the decade.
In ten years time. he said, those
who now break the Volstead law will
have either changed their point of
view, or died, or become unpopular"
He declared himself for rigid enforce
ment of the eighteenth amendment.
Although prohibition enforcement
at the present is the greatest national
question, in his opinion, he said he
could not see how 1t would be party
issue. 1T is to be expected" he said,
that state officers will blame their
enforcement deficiencies upon the
nation and that the. nation will re-
gurgitate upon the states"
Senator Pepper declared in favor
of the International High Court. with
members elected by an electoral COL
lege instead of by the league of ma

policy, whereby the United States
