A BELATED PROBE
OF WORLD COURT

The American Federation of Labor
at its annual session just ended in
Atlantic City pigeon-holed resolu-
ton regarding American adherence
to the World Court until a commit
tee has had time to study it and
make an unbiased report.
Studying the World Court pro-
posal at this late day and awaiting
the report Of committee-perhaps
q year hence, for aught we know
is rather peculiar undertaking. 1t
may be entirely too late for any
practical purpose.
For the Senate is scheduled to
take up the question of American
adherence to the World Court on
December II. The upper house at
y its last session agreed by a vote of
n to to settle the matter on or
after that date.
The action of the senate came as
a result OF pressure from the ad-
niinistration and strong demands
from elsewhere to do something"
!. about the slumbering issue. Adher-
ence to the World Court having
originally been recommended by
President Harding on Feb. "a, 1928,
and by President Coolidge shortly
after his accession to office, 1t was
necessary for the Senate to act one
! way or the other. Irreconcilables
led by Borah. had prevented action
but finally date was fixed for the
eventual showdown because public
opinion no longer could swallow
studied inactivity about it.
So peculiar is the political COM
plcxion in the Senate that the Pres
- idents World Court proposal Is like,
ly to receive more hostility from
some members Of his own party
than from tho Democrats. The reso
luton of ratification 10 be taken VI

States, and a, odds the United States
being bound by an advisory opinion
of the Court in which 1t did no
join in asking.
Polls of the Senate indicated tina
the Swanson resolution, If vote
upon, would have won by a fey

unable to leave her hanger because
Of weather conditions.
The dirigible was scheduled to

Vice President Charles G. Dawes,
great-great grandson Of William
Dawes, followed the .impersonator
Of his ancestor, and General John
j. Pershing followed the cavalry
man representing Revere.
Rattle of musketry from Belfry
Hill and ringing of church bells
ushered in the sesquicentenniaI
ton.
Meanwhile, the crowds which
gathered here awaited the arrival
01 the modern Revere and Dawes.
Carrying his undressing pipe ana
riding in an automobile, Vice Presi-
dent Dawes rode over the route

or Held on Alleged Sales of
Drug Co. Alcohol

Momentary arrest Of number
of men, including some said to
be occupying Government posi-
tions, is expected at the Treas
ury Department today in connec-
ton with the Selling of Colonel
Winfield Jones and his brother,
N. Tong Jones, last Saturday on
charges Of conspiracy to violate
the national prohibition act.
Fearing that premature publ
cation may ruin their carefully
laid plans, officials of the Intel
ligence Division of the depart
ment are shielding their move
ments with the utmost care.
Arrests in Several Cities.
Winfield Jones, we'll known in
this city, was arrested Saturday
night in connection with the opera
lions Of the Maryland Drug and
Chemical Company OF Baltimore,
while his brother, N. T. Jones, was
taken in Atlanta, Ga. The brothers
are the sons of the Reverend
Charles e. Jones, superintendent
of the Anu.Saloon League in
Georgia.
Today's additional arrests are to
be made, 1t Is said, in this city,
Baltimore and other cities.
The investigation which resulted
in the arrests was Initiated by
Galen l.. TAFT, collector of internal
revenue for Baltimore.
The drug firm in Baltimore is
alleged to have withdrawn alchool
under permit to use it in the prepa-
ration of toilet articles and then
diverted it to the manufacture OF
whiskey.
Three Employees Held.
Three employees of the firm have
been arrested and are being held
in Baltimore under bond.
At the time the company was
operated under a permit which al.
lowed 1t to withdraw los barrels or
$3.50 gallons of grain alcohol from
denaturing plants each month.
The Government brought suit,
following the raid. to recover a
100000 bond from a New York
bonding company. The case is
still pending.
Elmer J.. Trey, chief of the in.
te'ligence unit, said today:
This is just the beginning of a
series OF arrests and to discuss the
matter at this time would be
harmful TO the intelligence unit in

REDS MARRYING
FOR CHEAP

Communists Said to Be En-

Agreements
BY international News Service.

MOSCOW, April 21.-Communis.
tic marriage usages are under at
tack. The 'Pravda" complains
that many peasants are showing
"a disposition to abuse the freedom
of communistic marriage laws and
are virtually using these laws to
gain cheap female labor for them
selves.
In substantiation of It's charge,
"Pravda" publishes the following
matrimonial document:
81. 1. Serge Kowalief, pledge my
self, from 1925, to retain Anna
Romananko as a wife.
20. I. the citizen, Anna Roman
anko. declare myself willing to be
the wife of the aforementioned
citizen for three years.
80. I, Kowalief, regard Roman
anko as my wife and pledge myself
to so treat her for three years"
Such marriage, the "Pravda"
charges. are merely temporary
marriages and are based upon the
peasants desire to get cheap f.
male labor for their farms.
