Delegates of IS Nations
Approve Geneva Treaty

Geneva Delegations representing
4S nations placed the stamp of APP
prevail upon the League of Nations
draft of the protocol instrument and
recommended to their governments
that it be ratified.
Even the most critical Of the OBJ
servers of the four weeks work here
admits that the action marks mo-
mentous step toward world peace.
With the principle of compulsory ar
bitration supported by the most power
full of the European states, which are
ready to fight for this principle under
the terms Of the protocol, the greatest
hope for peace since the league was
founded is widespread here.
Speeches uttered from the rostrum
of the fifth league assembly in it's
closing hours lacked the usual stamp
of oratory but expressed a determina-
ton to carry the protocol through all
of the stages necessary to gather all
of the nations of the world around the
conference table next June in an effort
to consecrate the work begun here
with the completion of the universal
pact against aggression.

DARING STUNTS
AT BIG AIR MEET
Airship Carries Plane Into
Clouds, Drops 1t and
Picks 1t Up.

Dayton Ohio.-For the first time
plane into the clouds, set it free and
picked it up again. The experiment,
conducted over Wilbur Wright field,
was the outstanding event of the Sec
ond days exhibition of the annual
Pulitzer race meet.
The TICS, a giant lighter-than-air
ship from Scott field, Belleville, ILL.,,
commanded by Lieut.. Frank Mckee,
picked up a Sperry messenger airplane
from the field and took IT. to an alti-
tude of $500 feet above the crowd
There the moorings of the airplane
were cut and Lieut.. c. v. Cinter put
the little ship into a dive. The rush
of wind started the motor.
After ten minutes Of frolic flying
Clinter guided his ship beneath the
airship again and contact was made
Maj Gen. Mason M. Patrick, chief
of air service, said that the event gave
another chapter to the book Of avia-
fion. 1t will mean that the Shenan-
doah will be able to carry fighting air
planes to protect it from enemy air.
craft. 1t will mean that the ZTe-3 will
be able to take on and discharge pas
sengers while in flight.
Another chapter of aviation was
written during the day with the first
fiivver airplane race staged in Amer
lea. In this event four planes, made
in America, contested A tiny mono
plane, powered with motorcycle
motor of but 10 horsepower, flew the
25-mile course at the rate of "a miles
an hour and won the race.
This ship was built by Al Johnson
of Dayton. The ship used less than
half gallon of gasoline for the race.
It's tank holds but two gallons Of fuel.
The actual cost of the flight was less
than ten cents And the ship flew
81 miles an hour.
This fiiyver fight rivals that Of
George Barbot, the French aviator,
who caused such a furore in Europe a
year ago. Barbot's ship consumed a
trifie less gasoline, but was much
slower.
In the fivver race q. Dormoy, flying
a ship that was constructed around
another motorcycle side car for fuse
iage, averaged 80 miles an hour and
won second place. The other entrants
were forced down before the finish Of
the contest.
This race will mark the beginning
of livyer plane construction in Amer
lea, AL Johnson says "The fiivver
planes in Europe are fair-weather
ships" he said my ship will fly
in any weather. Look at the heavy
wind in which it flew. Everybody will
use them some day."
Godfrey M. Cabot of Boston was
elected president of the National
Aeronautical association at the annual
banquet of the organization here. He
succeeds Frederick B. Patterson of
Dayton.

N. Y. GIANTS INVOLVED
IN NEW BALL SCANDAL
Lands Suspends O'ConneU
and Dola1 After Bride
Attempt.

New York. COMMISSIONS X. M.
Lands announced that Jimmy O'Con-
nell and Coach "Cozy" Dolan Of the
New York National league baseball
club had been declared ineligible for
the world series after charges of brib-
cry against them had been investi-
gated.
The suspension was based on con-
fession by O'Connell and evidence pro-
vided by Dolan and followed informa-
ton by Heinie Sand of the Philadel-
phia National league club. Sand stated
that on September .21 O'Connell had
offered him $500 to throw the game be-
tween the Giants and the Phillies,
played in New York on that day.
Sand refused the offer and immedi-
ately gave his information to Manager
Fletcher of the Phillies, who brought
it to the attention Of Commissioners
Lands. The investigation, in which
President Heydler of the National
league and officials OF the New York
club also took part, followed.
O'Connell's confession also men,
toned Capt. Frank Frisch, Ross Young
and George Kelly of the Giants, but
Commissioner Lands stated that the
testimony of these men had convinced
the investigating committee they had
no part in the scheme.
The investigation, Commissioner
Lands said, tended to trace the in
stigation of the scheme to Dolan,
whose testimony was of a nature to
indicate that conclusion.

new PRICE FIXING {.
CHARGES PLACED.
Manufacturers of Household
Furnishings Are Hit BY
Federal Report.

Washington, D. C.-Fresh charges
of price fixing and questionable prac~
tees by manufactures of household
furnishings, are made in a concluding
report on the industry by the federal
trade commission acting in response
to senate resolution.
''The outstanding features of the re-
port" says an announcement by the
commission, "are the control exercised
by patent pools among manufacturers
of washing machines, the shutting out
of new competition in the vacuum
cleaner industry; the questionable
competitive tactics of the leading
manufacturers of aluminium cooking
utensils, which is affiliated with the
Aluminium Company of America, and
the monopolitic position of the latter
company which has apparently en-
gagged in various practices forbidden
by judicial decree under the Sher-
man act.
According to the commissions an
nouncement, its report deals in detail
with all the subjects mentioned, but
deals more at length with the Alumi-
mum Company of America which has
been under various other attacks.
The Aluminium Goods Manufacturing
company, affiliated with the Alumi-
mum Company of America, the report
charges, has been practicing price
discrimination between customers, and
has been active in maintaining resale
prices, while receiving special dis
counts itself from the Aluminium Com
pany of America, which owns 80 per
cent of it's stock and exercises sub
stantial control over its policy"
At the same time, the commissions
report says, independent manufac-
turers of aluminium utensils have
been embarrassed by delays in de-
liveries of materials from the Alumi-
mum company, or by no delivery at
all of some materials, while in other
cases the Aluminium company, the re-
port says, "has dumped embarrass-
ingly large quantities Of metal on inde-
pendent manufacturers to whom ship
ments have been delayed.

WHEAT ADVANCES
TO S1.51 BUSHEL
Highest Price Ever Record
ed at This Season in
Peace Times.

Chicago.-Phenomen advances in
the price Of wheat and rye were reg
istered on Thursday at the Chicago
Board of Trade.
In ore Of the widest sessions the
market has seen in years the price of
wheat for delivery next May scared
43s cents above the closing figure on
Wednesday. The final price in Chi
cago was $151A, an advance of Is
cents a bushel since last week. Thurs
days price is among the highest ever
recorded at this season in peace times.
The advance in rye was no less star
thing. Several months ago May rye
was selling at less than 80 cents a
bushel. Thursday the market had
scared to $1.35, an advance Of 251a
cents since last Saturday. Rye is the
chief bread grain of all the eastern
European countries.
These advances will add millions to
the wealth of American farmers. The
jumps in price are attributed to i'm
mense buying by European countries.
Wet weather at harvest time lessened
the yield of European farms, which
had already suffered severely from a
wet and cold summer.
An additional factor making for
high prices is the material reduction
in Canadian wheat and oats yield from
last years return, grain dealers say.
There is little belief in market circles
that the reports of crop failures
abroad are exaggerated.
Traders were startled by the De
partment of Agriculture's concise an
alysis Of the worlds supply and de-
mand of wheat and rye.
Cables from Germany and other
European countries describing the
acute shortage of food and feed grains
have been factor in the advance.
While the advance in the Chicago
market was almost unprecedented, it
actually is small compared with the
marking up that has been going on
outside the United States. May wheat
closed in Winnipeg Thursday at
$1.531a, 20 cents a bushel above the
low price of Saturday. October wheat
at Liverpool has jumped Ii cents a
bushel in the same time and closed at
$1.70.
The uncertain element in the situa-
ton is the crop of the southern hem
isphere. Unless exporters in Argen-
tina and other lands below the equa-
tor ship enormous quantities to the
European market, Chicago traders be-
lieve prices may advance to So a
bushel for wheat and $1.75 for rye.
