uled for s o'clock tomorrow MORN

Patrolman Aaron Franzblau re-
ported on the alleged attack In his
police record for last night, saying
that at 1920, Mrs. Mary e. Morgan,
midwife of East avenue and Broad
street, asked him to escort her
home. The officer says the woman
rode in her automobile and he fol-
lowed along on foot. Mrs. Morgan
drove her automobile In the rear of
a building on Broad street where
she has her garage and she was
attacked, according to the police
officer. by Mrs. Frank Geneski, of
271 Maple street. The officer sep
arated the two and Mrs. Morgan
went into a nearby building. Mrs.
Geneski told officer Franzblau of
an occurrence of last night relating
to their recent troubles.
At 1880 o'clock Lieutenant Cal
vim received a telephone call from
217 Washington street, the home of
Mrs. Morgan, asking for a police
man. Chauffeur Emil Koyen and
Patrolman Hugh Steed were detail
ed to the scene.
officer Steed relates that he was
picked up by Chauffeur Koyen at
11:45 o'clock and went to the Nor
gan home on Washington street.
where they were told by Mrs. Nor
gan that a woman was hanging
around. The officers could not To-
cate any woman.
Mrs. Morgan came to court this
morning and swore out warrant
for the attack, alleged to have been
witnessed by officer Franzblau.
Asked what was used by the woman
making the attack, Mrs. Morgan re-
piled, "a stick, and I believe she also
had a hammer"
The Morgap-Geneski troubles
have been occupying the attention
of the local police and recorder for
some time, and only recently Mr..
and Mrs. Morgan decided to try liv-
ing together aagin after a short

MANY YATTEND|NG
PUBLIC SCHOOLS
Indications on Second Day of
School Point to Increase
Over Last Year

1t will probably be Monday be-
fore regular class work will be be-
gun in the schools of this city, Su-
perintendent of Schools S. E. Shull
said today. The delay in the be-
ginning of regular school work IS
due to the unsettled conditions In
the various buildings at the present
time, which is brought about by the
transfer of pupils from one school
TO another, including the new school
in Hall avenue.
Although it will be impossible to
obtain the number of children on
roll until late this afternoon, Mr..
Shull said there is evidence of a
considera BILE increase over last year.
A principals meeting has been
called by the superintendent for TINS
afternoon and it Is believed that
after this has been held. and re-
ports are received from all schools
in the city, 1t will be possible to ar
range the scholars in the building
they will attend for the balance OF
the year.
The rooms in some of the schools
were overcrowded yesterday, but TINS
Is only temporary, and these condi-
tions will be remedied as soon as
the classes have been arranged.
There are forty more scholars
in the high school today than there
were on September A last year. 1t
is evident from the number OF
scholars which have applied for ad-
mittance in the various schools that
the number that in past years went
to work rather than attend school
for another year has been materially
reduced.
A meeting of the Board of Educa-
tion is being held in the high school
this afternoon. 1t Is understood that
Mr.. Shull will make report of the
conditions at this meeting.
Continuation school pupils who do
not report to their teachers on the
day called for by their assignments
will make up their time in consecu-
tive days of attendance.

SAYS GERMANY
CANNOT REMAIN
OUT OF LEAGUE
Premier Macdonald Ad-
dresses Fifth Assembly of
League at Geneva Today
FOR ARBITRATION COURT
Does Not Believe Military AL
Iiances Can Bring Security
to the World

GENEVA. Sept. (By The Asso-
ciated Press ).-Prime Minister Mac
Donald of Great Britain, speaking
with notable feeling and forcefulness,
declared to the assembly of the
League of Nations today that Great
Britain saw the only hope of future
peace in the extension of the policy
of arbitration and the development
of the League of Nations.
The British statesman warned the
world against regarding national Sc
curity as merely a military problem
based on the predominance of force,
and he urged the convocation OF a
disarmament conference in Europe
attended by representatives of all
including the United States
and Germany.
Premier Macdonald paid a great
compliment to what America had
done to, help Europe and he voiced
the opinion that some day America
would enter the league, not because
she had been appealed to or SUBJ
jected to pressure but because
Europe had been wise enough to
make peaceful efforts successful,
thereby causing Americas "own
heart to incline her to the step.
The best way of handling the
problem of aggression, he said, was
to set up q court or courts of arbi-
tration.
Before he began his speech. which
was delivered before a crowded hall,
he conferred with the representa-
tives of the British dominions, out
lining to them the main issues he
would follow.
Insisting that Great Britain was
intensely interested in the problem
of security, Mr.. Macdonald added:
But we do not believe that military
alliances can bring security"
Such alliances, like mustard seeds
which finally produce a tree, would
bring the world back to the situa-
ton which existed before 1914.
Pacts based on military alliances
would break up the league, and cer-
tainly cause great secessions.
In his reference to Germany's
place in the league the British pre-
mier said:
I'VE cannot sit endlessly with a
vacant chair in our midst. The
London conference created a new
relationship between the rest of
Europe and Germany. She should
have a seat here"
He asked for action along this
line at the present session of the
assembly.
The British prime minister urged
that the time had come to arrange a
new disarmament conference, with
all powers, including Germany, pres
ent. All plans for security, including
the American plan, should be turned
over to a special commission which
would study them all and seek a
basis for the conference. he added.
He referred also to Russias atti-
tude toward the league. The agree
ment reached in London between the
Soviet and Great Britain. he said,
was the first indication that Russia
was returning to the affairs of
Europe and was headed toward CO.
operative work at Geneva.
In another part of his address he
remarked:
Europe for the last few years has
not offered America very attractive
campanionship. Yet we have never
asked America to do an important
thing but what she has always ac-
cepted to do it."

the automobile, now held in SmithN
garage to Galligan's deputies without
a question.
Galligan had gone to obtain the
car, armed with a writ of replevin
when the fighting began.
The truce comes as a relief to To-
cal citizens, who yesterday waited
Aaxiously fearing an outbreak when
klan and anti-klan were to meet at
the occasion of the coroner's inquest
into the six mems deaths.
The inquest, however. proceeded
without untoward events with the
presentation of testimony.
