new CONFERENCE
is RECOMMENDED
Legal Fraternity Committee Re-
ports in Favor Of World Session
BY The Associated Press.

Minneapolis, Aug. 30.-Action by
the American Bar Association en-
dorsing the idea of calling a new
conference of nations in continuation
of two former conferences at The
Hague in efforts. to clarity the rules
which concern the principles of in
ternational law, was recommended in
the report of the committee on in
ternational law at today's session of
the American Bar Association.
ut would not seem to be mat
ter of serious doubt that much may
be accomplished in the direction of
creating and preserving harmonious
relations between nations ana toward
the reduction of causes of interna-
tional disagreements, if the princi-
pies of international law should re-
ceive consideration at a new confer
ence of the nations in accordance
with recommendations by the COM
mittee of jurists assembled at The
Hague in 1920" the report read.
The purposes of the suggested new
conference would bes to fHstate the
established rules of International law,
especially in the first instance in the
fields affected by the events of the
world war: to formulate and agree
upon the amendments and additions,
II any, to the rules of international
life and intercourse which have fol-.

For more than three years Saliva
tore Butera of Pennington avenue,
had been laboring under the belief
that, because his house was situated
on the New Britain Pennington town
line. he ate his meals in New Britain,
then, without leaving the dwelling,
went to bed in Pennington; that he
arose on election day in the town of
Pennington, crossed the line into
New Britain and exercised his rights
as a voter, and after casting his bal
lot for the best possible government
in New Britain, went back to Farm
ington and slept soundy.
But, when Mayor Az M. Paonessa
decided to place Butera on the board
of public works, other city officials
and employees raised the question of
Butera's residence, a question which
had been previously discussed.
New Britain herald. [microfilm reel] (New Britain, Conn.) 1890-1976, 1923-08-30

Maps in the assessors office
showed clearly that the dwelling
is in Pennington, though much of
the property adjoining 1t is in New
Britain. Butera produced land rec
ords which described the land as en-
tirely in New Britain and said a
Hartford engineer had made surveys
which verified that claim. He also
pointed out land marks which would
make the town line run through the
middle of his house.
In the absence of proof to the con-
trary, it is likely that the assessors
maps will stand. Butera has agreed
to remain off the public works board.
but announces that he will have a
thorough survey made since he does
not enjoy being in a quandary as to
where he should pay his taxes, where
he should vote and where he should
claim his legal residence.

BETTER" is his message to the mer-
chant of the South, declared James
X. Orr, presid emit of the shoe com
pany of that name in. Atlanta, in
an address here today before the
National Association of Credit
men. The merchant should be
jealous of his credit, Mr.. Orr said.
What our country needs today
is fearless leaders who will preach
more production from the land -
and the head and hand" he said.
This will bring its own own ans
Wer-in more cash and less need
of credit"
certain counties in Georgia, he
asserted, have demonstrated that
crops can be made upon a cash
basis, and he recommended univer-
sal application of this plan to
double the value Of every acre"
Some politicians thrive upon
the popular plausible theory that
all the farmer needs is larger loans
on longer terms-and the worker
less work and more pay; theories
as unsound as they are uneconom-
ic," he asserted.
Mr.. Orr suggested that a new
rule of three"-work, save think,
if applied to world problems
would produce beneficial results.
The speaker told of the begin
nings of the credit system, and
pointed out that always counsel has
been against abuse of credit.

and bazaars at furious rate to pay
back old Simon, who, after the first
glow had cooled. had begun to worry
about his money. We appeased him
somewhat by paying the interest and
$500 in less than year-a colossal
sum for a community as poor as ours.
I was running these things over in
my mind as l trimmed the wicks and
filled the lamps. But, well--if he'd
ever even touched card, it might
be enough to damn him. Men like
Luke Cobb and Job Sanderson were
as rigid as granite shafts; they were
just men, but they were hard men.

brushed. His voice was quiet, and
so were his gray eyes. And yet he
did not give the impression that he
was a meek man or one who could be
imposed on with impunity
He had come to us from the west
when we were sorely in need of a
minister. His hair was iron gray
then-that was ten years aEe--and 1t
had grown white In our service.
1t wasn't much that we did for
Reverend Pendlebury. but It was the
was In a bad hole, financially. Two
years before the building had been
burned to the ground. There had been
no insurance and on Reverend PEN
dlebury's shoulders had fallen the
job of building a new church with
nothing but the ashes Of the old one
to start with. He worked with the
carpenters himself, although his
hands were as delicate a. a woman's
and blistered easily, as II he were
not accustomed to rough work. He
raised the necessary funds for the
material by a species of miracle.
The miracle was this: He per-
suaded Simon Middlemass. octogenarian
president of the First National Bank
and not church member. to loan
from his own private funds $4,000
on a note. OF course, that note
meant that the ladies Of the church

They're mighty strict: you know how
they feel about a gambler. Well"
Cephas drew on his mittens, "this

AS the black Of Cephas' buffalo fur
coat became speck on the vast white
ness of the hills I returned to my
thought of old Mr.. Pendlebury. The
story was q lie, OF course. But lies
can make trouble, can hurt.
The people up here around Willow
ton deem a gambler the most scarlet
of all sinners. We're extremely. al
most unbelievably, careful of our
money. We have to be. We respect
our dollars because they represent
our hard and unremitting toll: they
are the trophies of our unending slug
ging match with tough and stub
born Nature. When we do get hold
of an extra dollar our roughened
fingers close tightly on its green
throat and we bear 1t of to the saw
ings bank or invest it in solid hrst
mortgage. Gambling-the risking OF
money-is a heinous sin. So. II that
story about the Reverend Pendlebury
did prove to have even a vestige of
truth in it--but, of course it couldn't
have.
a N added reason why we around
I \ Willowton particularly hated
gamblers was the presence in our
community of Jesse Hornbeck. We
were a Nittle afraid of Jesse Horn
beck. He was so shrewd. and he had
an inconvenient habit Of foreclosing
mortgages and taking up notes. We
kept out of his clutches il we could
he was a vindictfve man.
Jesse Hornbeck was a gambler. He
owned and operated Bald Eagle Inn.
up on Black Mountain, outside Will
lowton, and 1t was an open secret
what sort of place Bald Eagle Inn
really was. We tried to pretend that
Bald Eagle Inn didn't exist, but we
were unpleasantly aware that 1t did.
Rich summer people motored there at
night, and, obviously, they did not
go there for the view or the bracing
mountain air. In winter the inn adver-
tised winter sports" but that was a
blind; its real winter sport was con-
Quoted indoors.
We felt that the Bald Eagle Inn
was blot and a disgrace. But there
was nothing we could do about 1t.
Jesse Hornbeck, and his lieutenant
and jackal. Roy Siiier, were too
powerful and too canny. But we re-
sented the place, and we resented
Jesse. His fat right hand was
adorned by a remarkable ring made
of an obese gold snake with ruby
eyes in the act Of being choked to
death by a diamond in its mouth the
size of a hazel nut. No one doubted
the rumor that he had won this ring
playing poker with a Chicago travel
ing man who. on an unlucky evening,
had ventured into Bald Eagle Inn.

it's screaming red paint and it's silver
lied trimmings, he had brought back

Jesse Hornbsck's lieutenant Stun
bled out into the snowy night and
the Rev. Pendlebury closed the door
after him. We still stood there in a
group: no one spoke. The Rev. PEN
dlebury was smiling.
II hope you gentlemen will excuse
me-" he said. II am going to bed.
I'm a bit tired. Good night"
Job Sanderson plucked from the
table the sheet Of paper on which the
Rev. Pendlebury had written his
resignation, and moved swiftly to-
ward the fireplace. Then. suddenly,
the room grew very much brighter.
