Still Hope to Settle
Dispute Over MOsuI

Geneva, Dec. y Pl-Some hope
was expressed today that the con-
troversy surrounding the dispute be-
tween Turkey and Great Britain
over the Mosul boundary In Irak
might be satisfactorily liquiddted,
Notwithstanding the fact that the
chief Turkish delegate has stated
that the Turks have withdrawn
from the discussions before the
league council.
Direct negotiations between Tur-
key and Great Britain were thought
to be possible owing to the strenu-
Gus efforts the council Is making TO
solve the problem agreeably to both
sides. One of the rumors IS that
Mosul might be placed under the
direct control of the league of ma
tons and given a certain form OF
autonomy and without according to
the mandate to Great Britain.

Suggestion Made to Board by
Principal Slade

recommendations from Principal
L, P. slade OF the Senior High school
that no athletic contests be held In
the future In New Britain when the
anticipated attendance Is greater
than the playing field accommoda-
tons, that attendance be limited at
future games, and that portable
"bleachers' be procured by the city,
were considered at yesterdays meet
ing OF the school board.
His recommendations were tabled
after some discussion. The princi.
pals communication to the school
committee was the result of a dis
agreement that arose last month
when temporary bleachers at the
Hartford-New Britain game colaps-
ed. The heacher question was again
brought up with a discussion Of let
ters from Vice Principal ]. C. Moody,
director of High school athletics,
Building Inspectors Hennessy and
Rutherford, and Principal Slade.
Chairman King opened the dis
cussion with the statement that in
his opinion the school authorities did
everything reasonably possible to
provide for the convenience and
safety of the spectators.
1t was brought out that Mayor A,
NJ. Paonessa had written the school
board enclosing letters from the
building inspectors, but making no
recommendations. The inspectors
had claimed the bleachers were I'M
safe and were used in spite of their
objections.
Slade Compliments Moody
Principal Slade complimented Mr..
Moody for the way he handled ar
rangementS for the game and said if
there was any reprimand he (Slade)
was willing to accept it,
Mr.. Moody, the official at which
the building departments criticism
was directed, said the temporary
bleachers were procured late. that
he had asked the w. H. Allen Co.,
to send eight men and superin-
tondent to erect them and he sup.
posed they were safe.
