IMMIGRANTS
SAVINGS
Aged Swiss, in Country Two
Weeks, Was on Way to
Coast to See Son.

A trembling old man today
scanned in vain the pictures in the
rogues' gallery in an attempt to
identify the two men who last night
took from him his life savings Of
$1,000.
He is Robert Tanner, a Swiss
peasant, who arrived in this coun-
try only two weeks ago.
Tanner came here to visit a son
who lives in San Francisco. He
had saved all his life so that in his
old age he would be able to pro-
vide for himself.
A few minutes after Tanner
reached Union Station last night
he was met by two men. The two
swindlers suggested that Tanner
go for walk with them. Down
somewhere in the southwest they
pulled the age old handkerchief
game and Tanner, guilless and
unwary, fell easily for it.

THROUGH still contending that the
Il French policy in the Ruhr~is bad,
the British government forces in par
lament prevented the adoption of the
amendment to the address on the
kings speech, calling for action by the
council of the League OF Nations to
submit the whole matter to confer
ence Of experts in which America, 1t
was hoped, would participate. A vote
sustaining the amendment would have
meant the downfall of the ministry.
Instead. the house voted 305 to 100 to
sustain Prime Minister Bonar Laws
policy of "hands off in the Ruhr." The
premier said that intervention at the
present time was impossible without
destroying the entente; that to refer
the matter of reparations to the league

7 TIJUANA and Poland have start
- ed another little war of their
own, which might conceivably disturb
the so-called peace of much of Eu-
rope. Already the condition is so Sc
rious that members of the council Of
the League Of Nations believe the
league will be compelled to intervene.
The council on February 2 defined the
frontier between the two countries,
and in so doing 1t awarded to Poland
a strip Of territory that includes Wilma
and the very important Kovno-Vilna
railway. Lithuania was counting on
possession Of this rail line to provide
connection between Russia and
East Prussia whereby she could create
a lot of commercial business for her
self and especially for the port Of
Memel, which had been given her after
she seized 1t a few weeks ago. More
over, the Lithuanians were determined
not to relinquish their claim to Wilma.
Therefore, when the Poles undertook
to take possession of the strip in con-
troversy, the Lithuanians Immediately
started hostilities, at first with '.ir-
regulars" and then with their regular
army, the claim being made that the
Poles were attempting to occupy ter
ritory that was incontestably Lithu-
anian. Proceeding from skirmishes
to real battles the conflicts have re-
suited in many casualties already, and
by the middle of the week heavy ar
tillery had been brought into action.
Russia is much disturbed by the af-
fair, and Foreign Minister Tchitcherin
sent to both Poland and Lithuania a
note stating it was Russia's opinion
that Lithuania was right in the contro-
versy and offering Moscow's friendly
assistance in settling the dispute.
France is so tied up to Poland, tinan-
cially and otherwise, that her sympa-
thies and perhaps material assistance
cannot but go to the Poles.
On Monday the British and French
warships left the harbor Of Memel,
carrying the French troops that had
garrisoned the district for two
years. The award of Memel and the
adjacent district to Lithuania is re-
garded as a diplomatic victory for
Russia over the allies. The L1th-
uanians have announced their inten-
ton of building a new railroad which
will unite Russia and Germany. They
also expect a great deal of trade with
America to pass through the port of
Meme,.

WISCONSIN Socialists came to the
w front rather startlingly last week.
In the lower house of the state assem-
bly, they, in combination with the ad-
ministration forces, put through bill
to abolish the Wisconsin National
Guard. The measure was passed bF
acclamation, the opposition being negli-
gible in numbers 1t was taken for
granted that the bill would be killed
by the senate or vetoed by Governor
Blaine, but this did not materially
lessen the frantic Joy of the Socialists,
who felt they had put over something
on the so-called progressives and justi-
fed their claim that the Wisconsin as
sembly is the most radical Of all the
state legislatures. The radicals are
threatening to pass so many bills that
would hamper capital that the Wiscon-

CONVENTIONS Of organized labor
~ and the position taken by the fed
eral railway labor board were sus-
tanned by the Supreme court in a deci-
sion in the company union" case in
volving the Pennsylvania railroad. The
opinion, delivered by Chief Justice
Taft, held that the labor board did not
exceed it's powers when it condemned
the methods adopted by the Pennsyl-
vania railroad to establish employee
representation In dealing with Ques-
tions Of wages and working conditiops.
Chairman Ben Hooper of the board
said the decision was a long step to-
ward industrial peace on the railroads.
"The contention of the employees was
in harmony with the spirit Of our re-
publican institutions" he said. "Up-
holding the principle of majority rule
in organized labor will greatly conduce
to the supremacy of law over force in
the adjustment of industrial contro-
versies."

THEOPHILE DELCASSE, one of
the most eminent French statesmen
Of this generation, died last week in
Nice. He became minister Of foreign
affairs in 1898 and held the post eleven
years in five successive cabinets.
Among his great achievements was the
creation of the entente cordiale be-
tween France and Great Britain. Ap-
parently foreseeing the World war, he
succeeded in forcing Italy and the cen
trail empires apart and in conciliating
the opposing interests of Russia and
England, thus preparing the ground
for the quadruple entente.
Another notable figure passed away
last week in the death of Mrs. John A.
Logan, widow of the famous cavalry
general Of the Civil war, in her home
in Washington. She succumbed to IN
f1uenza. Mrs Logan, who was eighty
six years old, never lost her active in

Knitting Contest Winner
Is of Noted Naval Family

Though the winner of the national
championship for knitting-then
Mrs. Elizabeth Craven Wyman. but
since married to Prof. Allon West
colt Of Annapolis-is constantly de-
scribed as New England woman,
she cannot be so classed and, in fact,
presents that cosmopolitan aspect so
frequently found in the hereditary
naval family. For she is the daugh-
ter of the late Lieut.. Commander
John Eccleston Craven and the
granddaughter Of Rear Admiral
Thomas Tingley Craven. who came
from northern New York. For sew
eral generations the Cravens have
been affiliated with the sea defense.
Mrs. WestCott was born in Sitka,
Alaska. and passed some of her child
hood there. She also lived for some
time in Washington and when she
reached the debut age her father was
stationed in Annapolis and she re-
ceived much attention here. Her
cousin. Miss Ann Craven. daughter
of Commander Thomas Tingley
Craven, was presented the same sea-
son and the two shared MANY honors
together Her marriage to Lieut..
Robert Wvman occurred the same
year as her debut and before she
had passed her twentieth birthday.
Mrs. John Eccleston Craven was
formerly Miss Emily Barnard of
Rochester. y. Y. and since the death
of her husband she purchased a hand
some home in Annapolis, where she
pleasant summer residence in James
town. which her daughter and her
two children shared with her and
from which Mrs. Wyman was mar
ried week ago.
Prof. Allen Westcott is teacher
of English in the Naval Academy
and already he is established in a
pleasant home within the campus.
