NAL notification that the United

The conference was called for the
purpose Of considering the reserva-

Secretary Kellogg and President Cool
idge, it was decided that American
adherence could be made effective
only through correspondence between
the state department with the "a
signatorics to the court protocol.
Regrets Councils Action
In his note, Secretary Kellogg re-
called that the league asked the
signatory governments to indicate ia
this country the difficulty of treat
ing the American reservations by the
direct exchange of notes.
ut would seem to me. to be a mat
ter Of regret if the council of the
league should do anything to create
the impression that there are sub.
stantial difficulties in the way OF
such direct communication" Mr.
Kellogg said.
"This government does not consid.
er that any new agreement is neces
sary to give effect to the conditions
and reservations on which the Unit
ed States is prepared to adhere tC

TODAY
THAT WORLD COURT, NOW.
REPUBLICANS KNOW MORE.
soLD-ouT BULLS.
BETTER THAN STEAM.
by ARTHUR BRISBANE.

Copyright, 1926, by The Star Coz
The people Of the United States,
with several million plurality that
elected President Harding and then
elected President Coolidge, do not
want the world court.
1t has been said in this column re-
: peatcdly that adherence to the world
court, had it been suggested in 1924
or in 1920. would have been rejected
by the voters by vote as great as
that against the League of Nations
itself, in those years.
Now, in Illinois, the voters defeat
the world court proposition and Sena-
tor Mckinley by 10000 votes.
The people are content with United
States courts and do not want ques-
tions affecting this nation submitted
to hostile judges. They do not want
to send one judge to SIT with ten
European judges and be outvoted 10 to
I by representative Of nations that
hate this country and despise it.
If President Coolidge and the rest
of the administration were in any
doubt about the world court and the
attitude Of the people toward it, they
know more now than they did week
or two ago.
Senator Mckinley, rs he says in his
pathetic farewell, has been sent to the
by the people Of Illinois. What he
doesn't say is that he consulted .
few sentimentalists Of his own in
clination, instead Of consulting public
opinion, when he decided to favor the
world court. The vote that retires
him to private life was not q vote
against him personally. He is an es-
Unable gentleman. It was vote
against his world court attitude.
If you do not need to "keep track
Of the market" that is, if you are
not "ticker watcher" consider your
self fortunate.
IL you are one whose heart goes up
and down with the Wall Street prices,
do not be frightened by individuals
known in Wall Street as "sold-out
bulls"
The "sold-out bull' bought stocks
lower, sold when he thought they had
gone to the top, then. groaned in
anguish when they went still higher.
He wants his stocks back ct lower
prices, and tails the world that panic
IS coming, and everything is going to
the dogs.
Don't believe him. We shall have
trouble some day perhaps, but as yet.

FAITH OLSEN
OF JAMESTOWN
is THE VICTIM
Machine Tips Over When Ra.
dius Rod Drops and Runs
Into the Ground
GIRLS SKULL CRUSHED
Other Occupants OF Machine
Only Slightly Injured in
the Accident
GIRLS SKULL CRUSHED

Miss Faith Olsen, II, daughter OF
Rev. and Mrs. r. A. Olsen of James,
town. was instantly killed here yes
terday afternoon ut 3 o'clock when
the radius rod Of an automobile in
which she and four other young peo-
pie were riding dropped to the
ground. causing the car to buckle and
tip over.
Miss Olsen was thrown out Of the
ear but landed in such Il manner that
the entire weight of the machine fell
on her head, crushing her skull.
John Mooney Of jamestown, driver Of
the car, was pinned beneath the ma
chine under the steering wheel, but
was quickly released. He is still in
u somewhat daZed condition as the
result of the shock of the accident
and the tragedy, but is not believed
seriously injured.
The other occupants Of the machine,
Miss Shirley Penner, Lester Diehl and
Ronald Mcintyre, all Of bismarck,
were thrown clear Of the machine and
aside from scratches and bruises
were not hurt.
Burr Comes Off
Testimony given at the coroner's
inquest this morning showed that
the car was travelling between 25 and
30 miles an hour and was going down
Il small incline when the burr came
off of the radius rod, letting the rod
drop to the ground. The rod caught
on snag, stopping the machine so
quickly that the rear end of the car
went into the air and the machine
turned over cndwise. The fact that
the top of the car had been lower
ed before the trip was started is be-
lievcd to have saved the other occu-
pants from more serious injury, as
had the top been up they probably
would not have been thrown clear
of the machine. The accident occur
red on a road one and quarter
miles northeast Of the city. After
the accident the burr from the. radius
rod was found at the top of the hill.
Miss Olsen was the accompanies
