OPPOSES
 LEAGUE PROTOCOL
Chamberlain Tells Geneva Con-
 ference the Reasons

Geneva, March lG.-Speaking 10 a chamber so closely packed that there was scarcely breathing space, Austen Chamberlain, British secre- tary for foreign affairs, delivered his long -heralded discourse on the Geneva protocol for security and disarmament before the council of the league of nations today.
 Foreign Minister Benes, Of Czechoslovakia, opened the session by announcing that at the conclu- sion of the discussion he would in troduce a resolution concerning the protocol.
 DOminions Opposed
 One Of the most important tca- lures of Mir. Chamberlain's address, which outlined the British objec- tions to the protocol, was added by him at the last minute. IL was that telegraphic communication, with the British Dominions and India showed that Canada, Australia. New Zealand. the Union Of South Africa and India were also unable 10 accept the protocol. He said he was not yet in possession of the views of the Irish free state.
 After emphasizing the sympathy that existed throughout the British empire with any effort to improve the international machinery for world peace, Mir. Chamberlain said that successive administrations in Great Britain, with the full ap- proval of the self-goyerning do- minions, not only had in theory ia vored arbitration, which was one of the features of the protocol. but had practiced it.
 Practice Disarmament
 They had not only preached dis armament, but had actually dis armed to the limit Of national safety. They had taken a full share in creating and supporting the league of nations and the porma- nent court Of international justice, NIIlS lllC lllliiitlISC SdClJHNto JI'E had made in the cause Of general security were matters of recent his tory.
 f, therefore. continued Nr. Cham berlain, after consulting her domin ions and India, England saw insu- rerabe objections 10 signing and ratifying the protocol in its present shape, this was not because she felt herself out Of harmony with tht purposes the protocol was intended to serve or was opposed in principle to plans for clarifying the meaning Of the League Of Nations covenant or strengthening it's provisions.
 Amendment and interpretation may 'n themselves be desirab ble. : added the British foreign secretary but his majestys government can. not believe that the protocol as fl stands provides a suitable method O attempting that task"
 Special Arrangements After detailing the British objec- tions to the protocol, Mir. Chamber, lain said that since the general pro. visions of the covenant could not be stiffened with advantage, and since the extreme cases with which the league might have 10 deal would I probably affect certain nations oI groups Of nations more than others : the British government believed the best way of dealing with the situa. ton was with cooperation with the League Of Nations 10 supplement the covenant by making special ar i arrangements in order 10 meet specia needs.

.CHOKED VICTIM
WITH SAND,
IS CLAIM
Oklahoma Man Faces Trial
For Life in Curious Form
OF Staying
By international Sow serylce.

BOLEY. Okla, April II. Some
time this month Boiey will have a
murder trial. It probably will be
the most unusual trial in American
criminal history.
For Boley is an unusual town.
So far as it known, it is the only
city of anywhere near 5000 popula-
ton where there is not white
resident. 1t has three first-class
banks and numerous business
houses.
The trial and it's scenes were
forecast recently in the preliminary
hearing of Charles Davis, the ac.
cused man.
Davis is accused of having
choked to death. with sand, a man
named BrownfieId The complaint
stated that Davis forced sand into
Brownfield's mouth and nose until
he died.
Judge McRiley, negro Judge,
conducted the hearing. More than
a thousand negroes jammed the
courtroom.
Four negro doctors testified to
the cause Of death before a jury
consisting OF TOUR bankers, three
merchants and five farmers, all
negroes.
A boy who found the body was
the States chief witness, supported
by the city marshal and the chief
Of police.
There were able colored lawyers
on both sides, for Davis is a pros
porous farmer, and Brownfield,
also, was well to do.
The hearing was conducted with
stern dignity. AS one man, the
negroes rose when the judge en-
tered the court and remained
standing until he was seated.
There was quiet throughout the
hearing, broken only by the con-
tinuous weeping OF the relatives Of
the dead man.
Davis was held, without bond, al
though he offered $40, 900 cash bail.
