CHANGE FAVORS u. s.
By the Associated Press.

BOSTON, October 1.-THE Perma-
nent Court of International Justice
has laid the groundwork for the pos
sihle entrance of the United States
by making changes in it's rules to
provide procedure that would be
necessary under the American reser-
vations to the court.
The World Peace Foundation.
American agent of the courts publ
cations, has received a copy of the
revised rules showing that 81 of the
Is articles which went into effect on
March "a, 1922, have been revised.
The bulk of the changes are in pro-
cedure. but several of them relate to
advisory opinions and have a bearing
on the fifth American reservation,
which states that the United States
shall not be bound by advisory opin-
ions rendered without her consent.
Under the new rules the court will
sit in private to deliberate on advisory
opinions, a secrecy that has formerly
been imposed only on cases them
selves. The article provides that the
minutes relating TO any advisory
opinion shall record only the sub
ject of debate, votes taken with the
names OF those voting for and
expressly made for insertion in the
minutes
The World Peace Foundation says
that an obvious purpose of this pro.
vision is to prevent the records en-
couraging misuse of temporary
points of view held by the judges. In
the case of votes, the junior judge Is
directed to cast the first ballot.
AT one time there was some doubt
as to whether progress before the
court was to be printed. but this
has been cleared up by paragraph
added to article SIS providing for the
printing and publishing Of the min.
utes of public sittings.
The new rules also provide for
method of procedure to be followed
by any state desiring to intervene in
the rendering of an advisory opinion.
Under the new rules dissenting
judges of an advisory opinion may at
tach to the Opinion of the court either
an exposition Of their individual opin.
ion or a statement of their dissent.
other changes are on minor points
of procedure and were induced
by experience in the 20 matters which
have come before the court since its
first rules were drawn In 1922.

A number of letters found in the room

in the northern part of the city from
o'clock until 6 o'clock yesterday

Suspect Former EmplOye.
Definite clews leading to identified
ton of the bandits were found In
letters in Dankos room. The room
was occupied by Danko since July
The letters are said to identity by
name a former employe of the Some
born Co, who, the police believe, en-
gineered the robbery.
The employe has disappeared, but
the police are confident they will have
him in custody today. They refused
70 give out any information about
the suspect taken into custody Ghls
morning.
He is being closely guarded. lie
is So in height, of swarthy COM
pleXion and wore gray suit ana
light cap, at the time Of the hold-up.
This answered the description of one
of the bandits as given by sevefai
eye witnesses. The hold-up occurred
at Paca and Pratt streets as the
messengers We're entering the COM
pany plant on their return from a
bank with the pay roll.
Whether Dauko was accidentally
shot in reloading his pistol during
the battle with police, or whether
he was killed in Il quarrel is still
a matter OF speculation.
Believes Death Accident.
Detective Capt Burns, who is IN
personal charge of investigation, be-
lieves the man was accidentally
killed. He points out the bandits
had scarcely time to quarrel over
their loot. The interval which
elapsed between the hold up and the
finding of the bandits body in the
abandoned auto, at st. George street,
was but 15 minutes. Furthermore,
Burns declares. the bandits would
hardly leave behind them such q
clew as the body of Il confederate.
The police are confident that the
bandits have not left the city. They
may be within a few blocks Of the
Sonnebor1 plant. Detective Captain
Burns saAa 1t would have been impos-
sible for them to have escaped or gone
far, as, in less than five minutes
after the robbery, dozens of police
and plain clothes men were on the
scene and no suspect wound have
been able to get by them.
The police have been in communi-
cation with New York authorities
about the persons mentioned in the
letters found in Danko's room. They
would not give out any information
about the letters, except to say that

District Government today is bat
thing to clear away the tons Of
snow which have cloaked the CITY

by the police.
Lieut.. Col. J.. Franklin Bell, Engi-
neer Commissioner, said he did not
want to have to arrest delinquent
citizens, but snow must be cleared
away. It is pointed out that the
appropriation of $4,000 made by
Congress for cleaning off pavements
has been spent and only the regular
street cleaning department fund can
be made available for this work.
According to r. l.. Costigan, su-

tween eight and ten inches.
