Mr.. Logan wrote to the president
of the commission, NJ. Barthou. last

thanks for the honor offered him. and
the confidence shown in him by his
associates. He believed, however.
that his duty was to retain the office

server with the commission, in which
position he thought his usefulness to
his country would be greater
Mr.. Logan Immediately cabled the
State Department of his decision. He
had long been regarded by the COM
mission as the ideal man for the
post and political circles welcomed
the idea, because the Transformation
of an American official into a repara-
tion commissioner, even though he no
longer represented the Government,
would, to European minds, indicate
a closer relationship of the United
States to reparation problems.

.LEATHERMAN HELD
GUILTY IN TARR|NC
MyersviIIe Man, Who Denied
Aiding Attack on Girl, First
of 19 to Be Tried.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
FREDERICK, Md, October "A
verdict of guilty was returned by the
jury today in the case of Harry
Leatherman, indicted for tarring and
1eathering Dorothy Grandon of Mar
tinsburg, w. Va, at Myersville, near
here, last July.
Leatherman was convicted of aid
ing and abetting in the attack on the
Grandon girl. He was admitted to
bail pending sentence.
Leatherman, who is one of 10 men
indicted in the case, has been on trial
in Circuit Court here since last Mon
day.
States Attorney Storm said the
next tar and feathering case would
be called for trial next Wednesday,
Witnesses for the State testified
that Leatherman was the organizer
and leader of the mob, although Mrs
Mary Shank had pleaded guilty to
the actual tarring and is awaiting &
sentence. The defense endeavored to
show that Leathsrman was merely
an onlooker, took no part in the af-
fair and did not coerce Mrs. Shank
by threats to tar the girl. Mrs. Shank
charged that her husband and the
girl were too intimate, and that this
was the cause of the episode.
Jury Many Hours Out.
Given the case at 8 o'clock yester-
day afternoon the jury was still
locked up at midnight.
Three hours were consumed by both
sides in summing up the case. Attor-
neys for the defense pleaded with the
jury to be merciful and send Leather
man back to his home and his job
Mercy should be reserved for the
merciful," States Attorney Storm de-
clared, in reply. Did the mob have
mercy on that girl when she presented
such a pitiful spectacle while stand
ing there in the road crying and
pleading for clotheS?" he asked. THE
crime is a black spot on the history
of the county and must be removed.
In charging the jury, Chief Judge
Urner said its only concern was to
decide whether Leatherman was gull
ty of tarring and feathering, or of
aiding and abetting in tarring and
feathering. The penalty in either
event is, from Is months to 10 years in
the penitentiary.
Miss Grandon was attacked by a
mob along the State road near Myers
Vile last July "a. Mrs. Mary Shank
at the opening of the trial pleaded
guilty to a charge of applying the tar
and feathers to the girls body. The
reason for the attack, Mrs. Shank
said, was that the girl was too init
mate with Lloyd Shank, her husband.
"Leathermnn Handled Tar"
Testifying, as State witness in
LeathermanS case, however, Mrs.
Shank said her intention had been
merely to beat the>girl. Leatherman,
she alleged, handed her the tar and
feathers and forced her by threats of
worse than tarring and featherlns
to apply them.
Defense witnesses declared that
Leatherman was present mercy
through curiosity and took no part
in the affair.

ARMAMENT REDUCTION UP.
League Council Announces Special
Meeting to Elaborate Plans
By the .Associa ted Pres

BS the .tSSotld L if>S-
GENEVA, October 3.-The council
of the League of Nations decided to-
day to hold a special meeting No
vember Is. probably in Geneva. to
elaborate plans for the international
conference on reduction of armaments
provided for in the protocol on arbi-
tration and security, which 1t is plan
ned to hold next year.
The council as it is at present con-
stituted probably will not meet in
November, but each of the 10 states
represented in it will designate rep
resentatives qualified to discuss the
technical matters involved in the pro-
gram for the conference.
The opinion seems to be growing
here that it will not be possible to
carry out the original intention to
convoke the conference June 10, as
the questionnaire concerning the
agenda will hardly reach the vari-
Gus governments before the end of ths
wear at about which time the various
parliaments will be considering the
protocol itself. A French spokesman
expressed the opinion today that the
conference could not be convened be-
fore the Autumn of 1925. Such a de-
Law it is pointed out, would afford
more time for the necessary ratitica-
tions.
Concern Over British Politics.
The internal political situa ton in
Great Britain is causing concern
among the delegates, as they realize
that the fate of the conference de-
pends on whether the British Parlia-
ment ratifies the protocol. The atti-
tude of former Premier Asquith. the
Liberal leader, toward the British
agreement with Soviet Russia is re-
garded here as likely to force a gen.
eral election in England and Eng
lishmen here fear that a conservative
victory would imperil the protocol.
The delegates are also OF the

By the Associated Press.


TOXIC, October 3.-Adoption of the
protocol of compulsory arbitration
and security by the League of Nations
assembled now in session at Geneva
does not conclude the question as far
as Japan is concerned.
Although Japan is gratified to learn
of the acceptance by the league of
Baron Adachfs views, the govern
ment reserves a final decision on rati-
fication until 4 thorough study has
been given the subject, il was stated
in highest official quarters today.
There was reason 10 believe today
that Japanese interest in China. not
