It is reported that his lawyer has advised an immediate disappearance until it is possible to prepare the prop CT regal maneuSer to meet the tactics of the militant Canon. If Firpo is not on his way to Albany it has been suggest ed that he is speeding to some nearby and isolated hamlet where he could re- main under cover and maintain teIe- phonic communication with New York for further orders.
 Great secrecy surrounded the move ments of the fighters automobile when the sudden leave-taking occurred.

LODGE OFFERS PLAN
FOR WORLD COURT
In Resolution Presented to SEN
ate, He Proposes to Cut Court
From League of Nations.

Westinghouse Lodge. Chair
man of the Committee on Foreign
Relations and leader of the Republi-
can majority in the Senate, intro
duced a resolution submitting a plan
for new world court and requesting
President Coolidge to call an inter
national conference for the consider
alton of the project The Lodge reso-
luton was ordered referred to the
Foreign Relations Committee and will
be the subject of hearings.
The Lodge plan is embraced in a
joint resolution, which will have to
pass both the Senate and House, and
be submitted to the President for sig
nature or disapprovaL before it can
become effective
The Lodge resolution embodied
complete plan for the proposed trib-
unaI, which Senator Lodge describes
as intended to be World Court of
Justice" the object of which would
be to achieve and preserve peace. ;"
His idea is that since the United
States has definitely refused to enter
the League and it is now too late to
expect" the nations which are mem
bers of the League to join with us in
establishing an additional Court of
projected of the existing organization
under the Hague convention of 1907,
in these circumstances the best solu-
ton would be to separate the exist
ing Court from the control of the
League and to establish it independ-
emily by new international conven-
ton without destroying its identity,
but making the changes required by
it's new status. In other words, the
Lodge plan in reality would call for
the transformation of what he styles
the League Court" into World
Court of Justice"
