j. 6. FREED
Of WORLD
COURT

Polite rejection by the world
powers, led by Great Britain,
of America s request for mem
bership, with reservations, in
the World Court today found
the Senate irreconcilables
nightly elated.
By declining the reserva-
tions with which America
seeks to enter the Court, foes
Of the world tribunal point
out England and the other
powers have played into the
hands Of those Senators who
fought the World Court for
years ii Congress.
It is generally conceded that
the United States will not modify
the reservations, and this, in all
probability, will mean its exclu-
sion from the court.
The particular reservation to
which the other powers object, it
was tacitly admitted today at the
State Department, would permit
the United States to withdraw
from the tribunal at any time.
A CLOSED Incident"
President Coolidge in spite Of
his long sponsorship OF the World
Court, recently publicly stated that
the rejection of Americas reserva-
tion.; by the other court members
would incline him to look upon
the United States application for
membership as 'closed incident.
Senators today held to their re-
dictionary expressions Of yesterday
over the final outcome of the issue.
Senator Moses of New Hamp-
shire: Three lustry cheers for
John Bull, the Savior Of America"
Senator Watson of Indiana: Let
all the earth be glad and rejoice
with exceeding joy"
Blease Is Pleased
Senator Blease OF South Carolina:
THANK God for THAR
Supporters of the World Court
were less expressive, finding con-
ISOLATION in tho fact that America
at least had offered to become q
member.

Light Kept For Pipe
Causes Death OF
William L. Fox

The desire of William L. Fox,
So years old, I'll Tenth st. N.
E., to always have a light to
ignite his pipe, resulted in his
death last night from gas.
Fox was found unconscious
In a rear room Of his home by
Thomas NJ. Rothery, of the
same address. The rocxf was
filled with gas and Fox was
pronounced dead on the arrival
of the Casualty Hospital ambu-
lance.
Members of the household
told police that Fox had been
in the habit Of turning the gas
low so that he might be able
to frequently light his pipe
without striking match.
Last night he turned it too
low and it went out while he
slept. Coroner j. Ramsey
hewitt issued a certificate of
accidental death.

which Al actors, producers and
managers were arrested last
midnight, will be repeated if

There were forty-one stage folk in
all, and Broadway-the thousands

To most of the Rialto folk IT.

To impress this on the theatrical
folk who crammed every nook and

THE GOVERNORS MESSAGE

THE GOVERNORS MESSAGE
 The message of Governor Parks to the Legislature is notable for it's and clarity The Governor does not branch off the main road to the highways and byways of verbosty but adheres strictly to logical se quences when he against threatened increase III taxation and experiments in government such have been proposed In this respect he is supported by back ground of Legislative mudding which should be clarified before undertaking further adventures into the realm of political economy.
 broader scope of the plans presented by Senator Steel and former Judge Wickersham combine al most unlimited powers in the hands of three men, which in itself would require several sessions of the Legislature to remedy once this power was arbitrarily applied such as being used to build up political machine through ap pointve power. As will be noted in the Steel plan and that proposed by Mr. Wickersham practically all offices aside from that of Comptroller Treasurer and Attorney General appontve including such as the territorial board of road commissioners, trustees of the Pioneer Home etc., carrying with them broad discretionary pow CTS as well as control of large sums of money.
