 A movement of the stick to the left raises the aileron on the right wing and lowers that on the let, thus raising the suction on top of he left wing and decreasing it on the other side. This operation is performed in case the air pressure tends to pull the right side of the plane higher than the left. Moving the stick to the right, obviously has directly opposite result.

 Incidentally, the stick is passing out of the picture in many types of planes.

territorial integrity of Lithuania.
Poland, according to it's ministers
wishes to use its efforts to end "the
state of war, which successive Lith-
uanian governments have pretended
exists between Poland and Lithu-
ania."
Whether the league council, which
endorsed Poland'S seizure of Wilma,
and thereby started the present
enmity between Lithuania and Po-
land, will be able to reconcile the
antagonisms is considered rather
doubtful. There is talk in some Eu-
ropean centers of a project for the
federation of Lithuania with Poland as
possible solution, but such a project
would open up an immense field OF
opposing European interests and is
generally regarded as out Of the
question.
The British under secretary for
foreign affairs, Godfrey Lockner-
Lampson, in the house of commons
today, while not attempting to go
into the particulars of the case, said
that the British government trusted
that q settlement restoring friendly
relations between the two countries
might come about through negotia-

telegraph lines have been engaged in

ed revoltS or attacks in the perenni-
ally troubled Balkan countries. These
alleged outbreaks were staged in the
Ukraine, the Black sea, Kovno, and
on the Danube, where Rumanian
frontier guards are said to have fired
on Bulgarian fishing boats. All the
reports have been recounted with
much circumstantiality but all have
been denied.
In actual fact, as shown by the

REFINERY ! ] ! \ R. I. FAILS | III. J.
TOATTRACT UgVX
James S. Douglas Asserts
Refinery Should Be
Built at Tidewater.

James S. Douglas, head of the Unit
ed Verde Extension Copper company
and Stockholder in various mining
and railroading enterprises, told a Dis
patch reporter lass evening, The
United Verde Extension company
which is a half owner of the Nichols
Copper company, is not interested in
building a copper refinery at Ell Paso,
Texas"
Mr.. Douglas went on to explain that
the difference in the weight of smelted
and refined copper is so slight that
the freighting of the srnelted copper to
a refinery is not a consideration in
building a refinery He said that one
reason why the U. " x. would not be
interested in refinery at El PaSo is
that freight rates are such that they
cannot ship their product over that
route.
Douglas said that freight rates were
the great consideration in copper cues
tions and that transportation by water
was such a great consideration that
any proposed new refinery should be
built at tide water somewhere. Doug
las said that refineries were tremend-
uously costly and should be built where
they would serve vast smelling ter
ritory and where the future would
insure them large business.
The financier said further that this
city was not a likely site for refin-
cry because there is little or no rail-
road competition here. He said that
Ell Paso was better from that point
of view as it has five different rail-
roads thus enabling the copper ship
per to secure some chances of reduced
freight rates. Douglas commented on
the fact that this city in years past
had more railroads than it has at
present and that Ell Paso also had more
than it now has.

establishment Of Shirsky Brothers
on the sixth floor of a downtown
office building late today, held
up clerks and customers and
escaped with diamonds and other

Police, who had a detailed de-
scriptiOn of the trio from the
elevator starter who took them
from the sixth floor to the ground
level tonight, had rounded up
numerous persons.
Police believed the robbery per-
fectIy planned and carried out
with remarkable precision, had
been executed by expert jewelry

The robbery came at time
when Cleveland police were MAX

Lightning Causes Collapse

During Storm.

CHICAGO, Nov % P)-Thirty work
men were trapped and at least 10 of
them are thought to have perished
when three walls Of a new three-story
brick garage building on which they
were working collapsed this afternoon
The collapse came in the height of
rain and electrical storm. A bolt of
lightning struck several steel girders
which were being set, in place. Three
of the four brick walls suddenly
buckled and crashed inward carrying
the Worklnen down under tons of
twisted STEEL walls of brick and shat
tered scaffolding
One Of the great girders crashed OUT

ton Shanty where about Is Workmen
had sought shelter from the rain. A
section of it also fell across a half
dozen automobiles parked in the street,
crushing them, and smashing the top
of a passing motor car, injuring two
persons.
Squads of police and 10 ambulances
with several companies of firemen ar
rived shortly afterward They sue
ceeded in removing virtually all of the
injured, but continued a search of the
wreckage Tor any additional victims.
Nine Of the injured were taken to
q nearby hospital, where physicians
said at least one of them had frac-
tured skull and several others were
hurt internally and would probably
die.
Joseph Cottrell, an employe of a
filling station across the street from
the collapsed building at oath and
Prairie avenue, said the first thing he
saw was the flashes of lightning. He
saw several girderS of the building
swaying in the air and lettering toward
his side of the street.

with me-" Cottrell said, land we ran

LONDON, Nov. % H9-Europe S
troubles are to come under the eye
of the council of the league OF ma
tions, which holds it's opening ses-
sion on November 3d. Foremost will
be the controversy with its many
ramifications, between Poland and
Lithuania. The presentation of the
facts in this disturbing case prob
ably will mean the airing of inter-
esting details connected with the
powers supporting the respective
sides.
The Importance of this council
meeting is indicated by the fact, the
heads of the states concerned are
moving to Geneva, Marshal Pilsud-
ski for Poland and Premier Waldo
maras for Lithuania. They will meet
Sir Austen Chamberlain and the for
eign ministers of the other great
powers, and although ovevr-o optimism
is not generally indulged, in some
quarters there appears to be hope
that solution may be found for the
difficulties
While the Lithuanian government
has forwarded to the league OF ma
tions what it considers additional in
formation tending to prove Poland
is seeking overthrow of the Waldo
maras government, the Polish min
lister at London, Constantine Skir-

TAKE EVIDENCE
in DISBARMENT
OF CIV. MANATT
Referee Sits Charges Of
Irregularity Against
Local Attorney.

Hearing in the disbarment proceed
ingS against G.. v. Manatt, widely
known Douglas attorney, was held
Monday morning in the court rooms at
the city hall with Riney B. Salmon,
Bisbee attorney,ia sitting as referee
representing the state supreme court
and Attorney General John w. Muir
ply presenting the case for the state.
witnesses were examined for the
prosecution and their statements and
documentary evidence was taken in
connection with the complaint which
charges embezzlement in three counts.
The original proceedings were taken
against Manatt according to state law,
by the bar association which appointed
a committee of three members, Fred
Sutter, John E. Sanders and John G.
Gung'l, known las a grievance COM
mittee, to hear evidence against
Manatt and any defense which he
might bring before them
Maude G.. Davies and John Grande,
both clients of Manatt, filed the orig
inal complaints against the attorney
charging that money given him by
them and collected by him for them
had not been properly used and had
been appropriated by Manatt to his
own uses.
The first count charged that Manatt
had accepted from John Grande money
with which to pay filing fees in a
case before the state supreme court
and had not paid the fees nor returned
the money to Grande and that Grande
had only by accident discovered the
fact and was forced to secure the
services of other counsel to get his case
before the supreme court.
The committee did not find against
Manatt in the second count. The third
count states that Manatt was employed
by Mike Simon to collect some money
for him and that Manatt did collect
this money to the amount of $145,
and further that he thereupon en-
bezzled this money and appropriated
it to his own use and benefit and has
failed and neglected to pay it to his
client although demand has repeatedly
been made upon him to do SO.
Count number four relates that a
man named Halstead employed Ma

together with the hope of the district
attorny that the hearing be completed

Burns, his son, w. Sherman, founder

the grand jury investigating the gov

the trial jury had not completed its
work.
Douglas also indicated the counsel
for the respondents would ask the

been returned against any of the sex

to have the case heard by the full

however, would be entirely at Justice
