 WASHINGTON, Sept. 4.-By insist ing that the next armament conference be held in Europe, Premier Macdonald has thrown something resembling q monkey wrench, Unto President Cool idge's plan to propose second Wash ington conference.
 In his acceptance speech, Coolidge stated that he expects to call an inter- national armament conference as soon as the Dawes scheme is running smoothly. But now at Geneva, Premier MacDonald-with the support of Her riot-says that the next armament conference must be held in Europe where he and the European statesmen can attend and commute to their respec- tive capitals to keep hand on domestic affairs during the deliberations. Wash ington is too far away for this ki..d of in-and-out attendance. This, at any for opposing another conclave in the United States.
 New Turn Of Affairs
 Acceptance of the Dawes plan clear ing away the old separations row has put an entirely new face on interna- tional affairs. The League of Nations question has popped up like a ja, ':-in- the-box. The question of how and to what extent America shall participate in world politics is more vital now than at any time sincesthe Senate thought it had disposed of the problem by dumping the Versailles treaty back on the White House doorstep. Although the impor- tance of activity now going on at the League of Nations meeting is obscured here by the excitement of presidential campaign, it is being followed closely by officials here, if not by the public.
 At every turn the United States is harassed by the, problem of maintain ing its place in international affairs while remaining out of the league. But Secretary of the, Treasury Mellon, just back from Europe, says that the best way for the United States to help Europe is unofficially and that is the essence of the administration position.

VIOLTNIST HEARD
 N FINE RECITAL
Ellis Levy DDelights His .Au-
 dience At Cable Hall

The Birmingham Conservatory of Music presented Ellis Levy, violinist of St. Louis in recital Thursday evening at Cable hall, as the opening concert of the season in that institution.
 MT. Levy is assistant concert master of the St. Louis Symphony orchestra, and a composer of note, as well as a successful teacher of violin. With that favorite symphony orchestra he has been heard in Birmingham many times, but his splendid abilities as soloist were never revealed here until last night. With a fine command of tech nic he drew a beautiful tone from his violin and won the plaudits of an en- thusiastic audience.
 The program opened with the Sonata in G minor, by Henri Eccles, a number not familiar to Birmingham audiences but affording scope for a violinist's interpretative powers. Two of MT. Levy's own compositions were on the program, Concertino No. 2, and Cariole, both very charmfngly rendered by the composer and the audience responded with very hearty applause.
 Each of his group from modern French composers was a gem, delight fully interpreted.
 Clair de Lune" from Massente's s dramatic lyric, "Werther," was very interesting and rare in its exquisite delicacy. The subtly suycopated move ments, so daintily introduced proved how beautiful that much abused rhythm of modern popular music can be when used for artistic purposes. This was followed by a Ballet of De- Bussy's full of gayety and spiritedly played.
 The closing number of the program was the Caprice Basque, by Sarasatc, a brilliant number that brought forth such applause that MT. Levy had to re- spond with wto encores. One of these was his own "Ghost Dance," rarely beautiful number.
 Mrs. Gussens beautiful accompany ing in such perfect sympathy and ac- cord with the artist, added greatly to the enjoyment of the evening. Mir. Levy deserved much larger audience though the enthusiasm of those present was compensating. Music lovers who did not attend lost the pleasure of an artistic treat

Board Adopts Resolution To March As Unit On Defense Day

The Birmingham Real Estate board will march as a unit in the National Defense Day parade, Sept. F, accept ing the invitation of Col. W. s. Prich- ard and Maj. Lucien Brown of the or- ganized reserves, who addressed the realtors at their luncheon Thursday at the Municipal market.
 Colonel Prichard brought out that the Defense Day program would not be made an annual event by the govern ment, and after the initial test this year, the demonstrations would only oc- cur at longer periods. Major Brown invited the board to sponsor one of the 32 units of the National Guard and Reserve Corps of Birmingham for the parade. A resolution was passed accepting Major Browns offer,

Composer Wins Revenge For
 Remark About Royalty

CABOURG, France, Sept. 4.-Raoul Gunsbourg, composer and director of the Monte Carlo opera, and the Russian Colonel Bezobrazo fought a duel with swords near Varaville yesterday. The composer ran the warrior through the right arm at the outset, wounding him so severely that he was unable to continue.
 The duel resulted from an incident in a cafe at Dives where M. Guns bourg overheard the colonel at an adja- cent table speak slightingly of a per son related to the princely family of a small state near France.

TO ORGANIZE SENATE

Republican senators and senator's
session beginning in December Will
elect who are to have a part in the
meet in Washington, November 70, to
choose a floor leader in place OF the
late Senator Lodge. The job Will pc
offered to Warren of Wyoming, with
the understanding that he will re,
fuse it on the ground that he is ~
years old and is chairman OF the ap-
preparations committee. Then Curtis
of Kansas and Wadsworth OF New
York will fight it out, unless Watson
of Indiana or Moses of New Hamp-
shire get into the fight.
If the Coolidge element in the SEN
ate is in earnest in its demand that
La Toilette, Ladd, Frazier and Brook,
hart be read out Of the party and
deprived of their committee places be-
cause of having refused to support
the G. o. P. in the recent campaign,
this conference will offer an oppor-
tunity. Sentiment thus far is against
such action.

ANDERSON LOSES

The New York Court of Appeals
unanimously and without opinion has
affirmed the judgment of conviction
for forgery in the third degree OF
William H. Anderson, former State
Superintendent of the New York An
ti-Saloon League.
The case of Anderson is not re-
ferred to here because of any un-
worthy satisfaction derived from the
misfortune of an Individual proml-
nent in the affairs of the league.
Such misfortunes are to be regretted;
but the case continues to demand at
tention and comment for the reason
that up to the present moment the
league and other influential agencies,
acting under assumed moral sane
tions, have labored to make it appear
that this man was made a martyr
and is suffering unjustly.
The sinister feature of the entire
proceeding was the bitter effort of
the anti-saloon organization to defeat
the ends of justice; neither money
nor effort was spared to accomplish
this purpose. The great influence OF
the church was employed to this end,
prostituting that high agency to the
level of law defiance and seeking to
make it partner with crime.-Cincin-
natl Enquirer.

French Statesmen
Advocate POlygamy

Observation-Disclosures Of poly
gamy in France as means of restor-
ing the birth rate is being advocated
by many of the leading intellectuals
of that country. According to stats
tics there is only one man to every
four marriageable women in France.
Consequently three are doomed to
spinsterhood. The excess of women
over men amounts to fully two mil
lion, while in the whole of Europe
there are 18 million more women than
men.
1t is pointed out that there are sew
eral examples in history when poly
gamy was legally authorized to meet
exigencies. After the Pelponesian war
the senate of Athens introduced plur-
al marriages to save the race. After
the Thirty Years war when the mas
culine population of the German en-
pire had fallen from II to millions
the free Reichstag of Nuremberg
issued a proclamation on February 8,
1850, allowing every man to take a
second wife, but being "obliged to
keep her properly and to suppress all
hostile feeling between the two wom-
en-"
Conventional moralists are facing
an increasing tide of agitation in that
direction. Prof. Charles Richet de-
clares that the birth rate in France
is not only the most important, but
the only question which interests
thinking Frenchmen.

VOlstead Act Don't
Apply to Farmers

Washington-Th decision of Fed
eral Judge Soper, of Baltimore, to-
gether with the verdict of the jury
declaring that homemade "fruit
juices" are exempt from the opera
ton of the Volstead Act will no doubt
have tendancy to boost the price of
next years grape crop.
The whole affair is funny. The
trainers of the Volstead Act were
afraid of the farmer vote and ex-
empted cider. In doing so, the courts
now hold, they exempted all "fruit
juices" which include grape and other
kinds of wines manufactured upon the
premises of the consumer.
This puts the drys 'in hole" If
they are to strengthen the Volstead
Act and prevent the manufacture of
wine, they must also stop the making
of cider. That's something the drys
don't care to monkey with, as the
farmer is strong for regulating the
Getty cellar" but he won't stand for
curtailment of his own liberty. If
the farmers cider is taken away
from him he is liable to smash the
entire dry program.
The city worker, of course, can be
induced to vote any old way, so the
lawmakers, not being afraid of him,
saw to it that malt beverages were
absolutely prohibited. If he tries to
brew bottle of beer the "hooks" will
be thrown into him. But "fruit
juices" are different.
To the uninterested spectator the
whole affair is amusing, it being un-
derstood the winnings of the game
consist of votes. Long ago the moral
feature was forgotten. Every move
nowadays has political meaning all
it's own.

Would Let In Many
Excluded Immigrants
(By Federated Press)

L
New York-Louis Marshall of the
emergency committee on Jewish ref
ugees broadcasted by radio graphic
story of the sufferings Of $4,000 pros
pective immigrants to the United
States who are held up in European
and Cuban ports by the quota law.
MarshalPs committee is raising
money and endeavoring to get the
government to act ON behalf of the
5000 in European ports and 5000 in
Cuban who have secured visas from
American consuls. The visas were
properly secured before the quota law
took effect.
The barracks in which the immi-
grants in Cuba live can be compared
only to the Black Hole of Calcutta,
says Marshall. The steamship com
panies lured the immigrants to Cuba
and now the people are stranded there
in an alien land, strange climate, with
no friends or advisers and no way of
earning their living. Conditions in
Southampton, Cherbourg, Antwerp,
Hamburg, Danzif, Libau, Reval, and
other European ports are equally bad.
Marshall's organization is attempt
ing to have the immigrants taken to
friendly countries where they will be
able to make a living if the United
States will not honor its visas.
The National Council of Jewish
Women will petition congress to let
immigrants possessing visas to enter.

Woop Up Campaign
For Evolution Theory
(By Federated Press)

San Francisco-Before an audience
that flooded the hall, the Science
League of America held it's first pub
lie meeting in San Francisco. The
campaign to "keep evolution in the
schools and keep intolerance out"
started with bang.
Luther Burbank, speaking in pub
lie for the first time since 1915, rous-
ed the audience by his statement that
one might as well oppose gravity or
the unreasonable speed of light as
combat evolution. "Useless waste
and unnecessary parasitism take at
least nine-tenths of the productive ca
pacity of the United States," he re-
marked. David Starr Jordan spoke
on "The Freedom of knowledge" re-
ferring to Bill Bryan as "a man who
has never read a bound volume"
Maynard Shipley, founder of the
league brought down the house by
saying: "We say to Mr.. Bryan: You
shall not cruify mankind upon your
cross of bigotry; you shall not place
your crown of ignorance upon the
brow of children"

Big Bakery Trust
Is Being Organized

New York-Rumors of a super bak-
cry trust have been verified by the
announcement that the Continental
baking corporation, with a capitaliza-
ton of $5O0,O00,O0O. has been charter
ed by the state of Maryland. In the
merger are believed to be the United
Bakeries corporation, Ward baking
company, General baking company,
American bakery company, Grennan
bakeries, Inc, and the Loose-Wiles
biscuit company. Most of these cor
porations are the result of other COM
binations. One of the largest units
of the new trust is the United bak-
cries corporation, whose sales last
year totaled $40,000,000. Net prof
its were one-tenth of that amount.

BORAH OR PUBLIC OPINION

"Why is the Eighteenth Amend
ment flouted by whole communities
In the best of homes there is per-
sistent violation of it. Simply be-
cause public opinion is not back OF
these constitutional provisions. Why
were $500 murders in the United
States in the year 1922, and why did
very large portion of their perpe-
traitors escape punishment, other than
because we are loose in our respect
for law? Back of our Constitution
and our laws and our courts must be
the will and wish of the people, the
educated public sentiment of the
masses.
"Every free government rests in
the last analysis upon public opinion;
it is public opinion which builds free
government, it is public opinion which
maintains 1.-THE Independent.

ACTRESS AS A BLIND

The discovery that Helen Gamer, in
whose name the action to overthrow
the women'se minimum wage law of
California was instituted, is motion
picture actress, employed for this
purpose by a group of wealthy man
ufacturers, has aroused labor as few
recent moves against the workers
have done.
"It is the most fragrant example on
record of an attempt to keep women
in industry without legal protection" :"
says Mary Anderson, of the federal
department of labor. Miss Gamer in
her suit posed as a factory employe
who desired the liberty" of working
for less than the minimum wage. The
case is still before the state supreme
court.

age of equipment, congestion of traf-
fic or other emergency exists in any
section of the country. The decision
also indicates the Capitalization of
