spondent upon the announcement.
1T in nowise follows" the corre-
respondent declares, that all hope of
an international conference on re-
duction of ornaments is necessarily
to be abandoned. The probable de-
mise of league conference on these
lines, as the United States could not
be expected to participate in any
more active shape than that. of OBJ
server, would furnish President
Coolidge an opportunity for himself
convening a conference. in which the
United States would take a leading
part, an opportunity which the
Geneva plan would SO tactlessly have
deprived him, to the prejudice of ac-
tive American collaboration in the
establishment OF world peace"
Action Not Surprisinx.
The writer thinks Great Britain's
action not surprising in view of the
strong objections raised by the do

amended in detail without all the

BERLIN, November 17-"She knew

in that capacity for more than 80

CHARGES WAR Is PLOT.

PEKING, November le.-Ienox
simpson, In signed article in the
Far Eastern Times, alleges that he
has evidence that the Chinese war
was promoted by a coterie Of CHI
nese politicians. The war was start
ed, according to the writer, for the
purpose of creating conditions under
which the central Chinese govern
ment would be compelled to expedite
a settlement of the Sino-French gold
franc controversy and thereby release
to Chinese agencies $4,000, 600 Mex
ico) which would be available out Of
a total OF $4,000. 900 involved.
Supporting his statement, Mr..
Simpson says that after Gen. WI Pei
fu, former military head of the Pc
King government, committed himself
to war he was offered a chance 10
finance the central government forces
through the proposed Sino-French
settlement. When Gen. Wu refused
to agree to the program his destruc-
tion was planned. 1t would have
been accomplished, doubtlessly, with
out the unexpected coup of Feng Yu-
hsiang. the Christian general -
who returned to Peking to overthrow
Gen. Wu's government while WI
thoughy Feng was fighting off the
common enemy, Gen. Chang Tso-Lin,
in the north.
The Sino-French franc settlement
proponents were not concerned with
the actions of the christian" gen
eral In overthrowiny his old chief
but expected 10 control Gen. Feng
eventually and make peace upon their
own terms.
The coup of Gen. Feng disrupted
the plans of the plotters among
whom were two members of the cabi-
net, several minor departmental
chiefs and a few secretaries, the
writer says.
Tsao Kun. president Of the Peking
government under the regime of Gen.
WI Pei-fu, was kept totally ignorant
of the Vaccinations of politicians. 1t
was after discovery of the plot by
Cen Feng that he deemed it neces-
sary to remove the boy emperor
from the imperial palace to another
abode. because of the constant men
ace of the return of the Manchus to
power.

but there was nothing to indicate that
officials had any other information
on the subject than was supplied by
press dispatches.
The first impression undoubtedly
was that the Geneva disarmament
conference project might be imper-
He'd, but later explanatory dispatches
from London seemed to clarity the
situation somewhat in representing
Premier Baldwin as merely desirous
of delay in order that British opinion
could be formulated with greater
care. '-e

GENEVA, October 2S.-A distinct

which may result in an indictment
within the next "a hours.
Several cases are being presented
to grand juries. II was learned at the
Department of Justice, in order to
cover all the phases of the curious
problem which arose from the two
apparently paradoxical provisions of
the revenue law and the diversity of
lectors of internal revenue through
out the country.
At the same time the principle in
volved in publicity of income taxes
reached the Supreme Court OF the
United States in the case of a tax
payer in Wisconsin who has appealed
his case against the State law. which
provides for publicity there. The Su-
preme Court has taken the motion for
an appeal under advisement, and will
shortly announce whether it will per-
nit the case to be brought before it
for review.
Brings State Case.
The appeal from Wisconsin reached
the Supreme Court of the United
States from William ]. Juneau, tax
payer, of Milwaukee County, who
pointed out that the Wisconsin Legis-
publicity statute of which he COM
plained, and asked that the Supreme
Court permit him to bring up on ap-
neal the decision of the State courts
sustaining the law.
He would challenge in the Federal
Court the constitutionality of the
law on the ground that 1t deprived
him Of rights under the Federal Con-
stitution. In that 1t permitted the
dissemination of private informa-
tion by publishing to the world for
the benefit of any inquisitive person
facts contained in his income tax
return which would greatly injure
him in his credit and in the conduct
of his business and would be par
ticularly harmful In the hands of his
competitors.
Such publicity. he asserted, would
abridge the privileges guaranteed him
as citizen of the United States and
would also violate the constitutional
prohibition against any State depriv-
ing a person Of life, liberty or prop
erty, without due process Of law: 1t
would also, he contended, deny him
equal protection of the laws under
the Federal Constitution. The pub
licity in no manner assisted the State
in tho collection of taxes, he main
tained.-
Wisconsin denied that the publicity
was harmful and asserted that 1t
would be helpful in the collection of
taxes.
In the trial court Juneau obtained
an injunction restraining the tax Of
ficials Of the State from making his
income tax returns public, but the
State Supreme Court reversed that
decision and without passing upon the
constitutional question. dismissed the
complaint on tho ground that Juneau
had not shown afflrmatively any
money damages.

Throughout ireland.

BELFAST. November 19.-Cardinal
Logue. primate of Ireland. is dead.
Death occurred at 6 o'clock this
morning.
There had been no previous intima-
tion OF the cardinals illness and the
news of his demise caused a great
shock throughout Ireland.
The primate died at his residence,
Ara Coeli. in Armagh.
Archbishop O'Donnell, the cardi-
nails coadjutor, who lives at Dundalk,
on being advised, left for Armagh.
Admirer OF u. 8. Institutions.
Cardinal Logue was a great admirer
Of American institutions, although he
disliked the republican principle,
which he discussed frankly with the
late Col. Roosevelt on one Of his two
visits to America. 1t was this dis
like which made him welcome the
dominion solution OF the Irish ques-
ton.
The last time he commented on po-
lftcal questions was on the occasion
of the Queenstown affair last March,
In which British soldiers were fred
upon, with nearly q score OF casual
ties. Speaking to the Associated
Press correspondent. he termed the

trated to prejudice the relations be-
tween Great Britain and the Free

Golden Jubilee in 1915.
Cardinal Logue celebrated his
golden jubilee as priest on De
cember 21. 1916. on which occasion
Pope Benedict Nv honored him with
papal letter imparting the papal
benediction. together with the faculty
of comforting the papal blessing on
all who attended the sacred ceIebra-
ton of the jubilee.
Cardinal Logue was known as the
grand old man" of the Roman
Catholic Church In Ireland. He had
tiny frame but unbounded courage.
of which he frequently had need
during the period of strife In Ireland
One thing for which he was noted
was his severe condemnation OF mod
ern dress.
ireland used to be proud of her
women. but the dress, or want of
dress. of women in the present day is
scandal" he declared at one time
There seems to be rivalry among
them as to how little dress they

Cardinal nm "Approachable Man."
Inc cardiNai was the most ap-
proachable of men. He invariably
answered in person any telephone in
quiry received while in Armagh. He
always spent his annual holiday at
Carlingford, a pretty seaside resort
in County Louth, where he had n
private jetty from which he dived
every morning. The civil war in 1929
interrupted his holiday and drove
him to Armagh, his motor car being
seized on the way. Although he
never complained officially, 1t was
known that he greatly resented the
action OF the Ulster special con-
stables who twice held him up on the
journey and searched his car for
arms.
