IMPLORES LEAGUE

South African Member Says
Immediate Aid of Great

By the Associated Press.

by the Associated Press.
GENEVA, September 22.-An appeal
to the league of nations to act on the
'reparation problem was made today
by George Murray, representative of
the Union of South Africa, in an elo-
quent address to the assembly.
The kingdom of the Hedjaz, other
wise Arabia. has applied for member
ship in the league.
. Mr.. Murray painted a picture of
Germany in agony-a great populous
nation being gradually destroyed and
it's national life slowly ground down.
Germany and all Europe clearly were
headed for new despair and calamity,
he said, unless a solution was found.
Referring TO the appeal for quick
reparation settlement recently re-
ceived by the league from the Inter-
national Federation of Trades Unions,
the speaker said this appeal from the
workers of the world could not be
lightly put aside.
Fenrs For Europe.
Mr.. Murray emphasized that it was
impossible for the German workers
to continue living on a pittance while
the workmen of the neighboring
countries received wages eight times
greater. This lowering of the stand
ard of the German national life was
morally destructive for Europe and
the whole world, he declared, adding
Before the Judgment of God, be-
fore our own conscience and in the
name of common humanity, let us ask
the interested governments either
swiftly to find a settlement or to
hand this settlement over to the
league of nations"
Upon the conclusion of his address
there was loud applause both from
the delegates benches ana from the
crowded galleries.
The charge that great quantities of
harmful drugs are being manufac-
tured in Switzerland and clandes stine-
ly imported to the United States and

DESTROYER WRECK
PROBE RESUMED
Officers of Seven Vessels

SAN DIEGO, Calf, September 22-
The naval court of inquiry investigat-
ing the wrecking of seven destroyers
off Honda, Calf, September s, plan
ned to hold a brief session here today
at which additional witnesses from
the U. S. S. Delphy, flagship of the
wrecked squadron, were expected to
testify.
Dispatches received here identifying
j. r. Stapler, asserted author of a
telegram identified at yesterday s
session criticizing radio compass sig
nails received from Point Arguello, as
first officer of the steamer Arizonan,
led naval authorities to express the
belief that Stapler would be asked to
testify before the close of the inquiry.
Meanwhile commanding officers, ex-
ecutive officers and navigators of the
seven wrecked vessels will not be
permitted to resume active duty until
the naval court ends its sessions, ac-
cording to orders received from the
Secretary of the Navy by Rear Ad-
miral Sumner Kittelle, chief of the
destroyer force.
Surviving members of the crews are
preparing to take up the task of fit
ting out and commissioning seven
ships which will take the place of
those lost. and other officers and en-
listed men of the Navy are making
ready for memorial services tomor-
row in honor of the twenty y-three who
perished in the wreck.
Radio Men GrilIed.
At yesterdays session of the court
four men responsible for the opera
tion of a radio compass on Point
ArguellH came in for grilling cross
fire of due\Iions from counsel for
thirteen naval officers, the defendants
in connection with the disaster in
vestigation.
The radio station itself received a
direct thrust in the form of tele-
gram produced by counsel for Capt.
Edward H. Watson, chief of the de-
Stroyer squadron which ran aground,
who said he knew nothing of the
sender, except that he signed his
name ~. r. Stapler, 152 Riverside
drive, New York.
Why MeSSaEe Was Disregarded.
Stapler's telegram said he could
produce records of radio bearings re-
ceived August % from Point Ar
guello. which, had we not diSre-
garded them, would have put us
ashore on San Miguel Island"
1t has been brought out that sig
mails telling the navigators of the de-
stroyer squadron that they were still
too far north of Point ArguelIo to
turn east were disregarded and one
OF these navigators has testified that
the signals were disregarded because
radio compass bearings from Point
Arguello were 50 inaccurate in the
hours preceding the disaster that
little weight was attached to them.''

COLD CAUSED !
FIRST DANCE
MARATHON
OAN FRANCISCO.-The first
~ maathon dance was one Of

necessity.
And, instead of being a product
of the present-day jazz period of
unrest, it was a frontier idea to-
prolong life.
"Snowshoe" Thompson was the
originator of the marathon dance,
if historical records are correct.
Thompson, Norwegian by
birth, was a mail carrier over the
Sierras of California when Califor-
MIA was an outpost of Western
civilization.
SnoWstorms meant little to the
hardy "Snowshoe," who, when
winter and snow shut off all hui
man migration, thought nothing
of hitching his dispatch pouch on
his back and "shoeing" through
the drifts to carry his precious
mail.
On one of these trips he was
caught in an unusually severe
mountain blizzard. Despite his
e"-ot strength he found it impos-
sible to go on. To lie down meant
T.. oDaUIC ueath.
"Snowshoe" laid aside his pack
and, clad only in his hiking pants,
wooden shirt and socks, found
flat rock and started a night'long
marathon dance to keep himself
from freezing to death.
There were no rest periods for
"SnoWshoe." He kept up his
da nee against death and, when the
storm abated in the morning, put
on his snowshoes and mail-pack
and continued his journey, with
little thought he had made rec
ord for posterity to shoot at sixty
years later.
His famous snowshoes are
part of a pioneer exhibition OF
relics at Fort Suffer, Sacramento.
