PASSPORT PROBLEMS
TAKEN UP BY LEAGUE
Commission on Transit to Recon-
mend Wide Inquiry on OBJ
servance of Convention.
Ry thu Asaociafed PrAsa

By the Associated Press.
GENEVA. November 27-The pass
port problem was discussed yesterday
by the Permanent League Commission
on Transit. The members decided in
principle to recommend an inquiry of
all governments as to what they in
tended to do by way of observing
more generally and effectively the
passport convention Of 1920.
This convention, which was signed
by few states, provides for the sup
preston of the visa system, II not of
the passport itself. and calls upon
the governments to reduce the pass
port delivery charges to francs SO
confines in gold and the visa charges
to franc.
The investigation by the league in
dicates that passport technicalities
are burdensome and bothersone. At
todays meeting the transit commits
sion agreed that the delays and con-
fusion in international train connec-
tions at the frontiers were due either
to passport examinations or customs
formalities.
The prevailing opinion is that with
the war over. since 1918, the time has
come to relax the passport complica-
lions. Another opinion Is that the
issuance Of passports should not be
made the source Of revenue.

DE VALERA TO BE RELEASED

Irish Officials Plan to Ciue Hin, His Liberty to

Dublin.

City and the joint constituency of
Leitrim and Sligo. two members must
be elected. This brings in the COM
plication of proportional representa-
ton, voters having to mark their
first and second preferences.
Represent Old Nationaiists.
1t is thought that it may also in
troduce candidates who approve nei-
Their Cosgrave nor De Valera, but
represent the old Constitutional Ma
tionalists. Hitherto in the elections
they have either voted for the Free
State or abstained from the polling.
Though they are a considerable sec
ton OF the community, except for
Capt Redmond they have not been
represented IN the Dali or In public
office.
1t is regarded as probable now that
In the Dublin contest some moderate
candidate, whether old Nationalist or
business man, will afford doubtful
voters an opportunity of polling. AS
only so per cent OF the register has
been polled in previous elections, this
would make the result more inter-
esting.

GIRLS MIND STILL DARK.
Pretty "Mystery" Maid Fails to
Respond to Remedy.

CHICAGO, November 27-Active
preparations for a big Thanksgiving
dinner at the hospital where the
mystery girl" who was found on the
floor of the Union Station a week ago,
her mind blank. is patient, failed
yesterday to recall to the 19-year-old
pretty brunette memories of home
and parents.
Complete isolation will be the next
move to be resorted to in an effort
to stir her memory. Visitors have
come to the hospital by the hundreds
to see her. 1t was explained, many of
them with missing relatives whom
the description of the girl fitted, they
believed. DR.. Clarence Neyman,
psychiatrist, who had tried hypnosis
and other means to restore the girls
memory, said he had given up the
case, having become convinced that
the girl is taking her condition.

CHINA WINS POINT
IN OPIUM FARLEY
Proposal for Rigorous Law in
Foreign Courts Is Placed
on Agenda.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press
GENEVA, November 27.-China made
determined stand at the interna-
tional opium conference yesterday on
the question of extra territoriality
as related to opium, and finally in
ouced the business committee TO place
China's proposal in the conference
agenda.
The proposal is in effect that foreign
courts in China. which do not follow
Chinese law on opium suppression
shall have a law as drastic as that
Of China and will agree to apply the
same drastic punishments to foreign
ers. including deportation, upon con-
viction of infringement of the law
Another point is that the Chinese
government shall be permitted to
nave Chinese assessors sit in the
foreign courts when foreigners are
tried.
India Fights Proposal.
India today actively combated at
tempts to bring in so-called new ques-
tlons which India and some other
countries feel do not fall within the
scope Of the agenda II the Indian
move proves successful 1t would have
the effect of shutting out two OF
three important features of the
American proposals, including the one
stipulating that opium smoking should
come to an end in the Far East
within ten years.
Yesterdays debate touching on the
competency of the present confer
ence occurred at a private meeting
OF the business committee of the
conference, which was so lengthy
owing to the difficulty of reaching
an accord, that the schedule of the
plenary session of the conference had
to be altogether abandoned Stephen
q. Porter the American representa-
tive, got into action imm ediately
when the Indian plenipctentary OBJ
jected to some Of the American pro-
posals. Mr.. Porter reserved the right
to bring them up at the plenary con-
ference.
Porter Makes Reservations.
Heroin, like the question Of sup.
preston Of opium smoking IN the
Far East, was the matter ON which
Mr.. Porter made reservations.
Interest was created by the an.
nouncement by the League of Nations
that Sir Herbert Ames, financial di.
rector OF the league, had received G
letter from Mr.. Porter asking what
would be a proper contribution OF
the United States toward the ex-
penses of the present opium confer
ence. This letter constitutes a prece.
dent and fulfills the idea of many
Americans visiting Geneva that tbs
United States should contribute its
share in the costs of the leagues
activities in which it participates and
by which 1t profits. Sir Herbert now
is figuring that the American share
probably will be the same as Grea,
Britain's-that is 10 per cent, OF
$500.
