JAPAN APPROVES PACT.
Acceptance From Cxechoslovakia VIII
Complete List.

Complete List.
By the Associated Press.
Japan has informed the Washington
Government of her complete acceptance
of Secretary Kellogg's proposed treaty
for the remuneration of war, leaving
only Czechoslovakia still to indicate
her position.
The Japanese reply to MIR. Kelloggs
note Of June %. which accompanied
the revised draft of the projected cove
nant, was received last night and made
public at once. Meanwhile information
was at hand which led State Depart
ment officials to expect favorable
pronouncement from Czechoslovakia at
any moment.
On behalf of the Toxic government,
Baron Tanaka. the Japanese minister
for foreign affairs, said his country was
proud to be among the first to be as
sociated" with the movement symbolized
by the treaty and expressed the hope
that this simple and magnanimous'
pact might meet with the Endorsement
of the entire world.
Accepted without Change.
No reservations qualified Japan's ac-
ceptance. Nor did the note contain an
ton which the Toxic government places
upon the provisions of the treaty. The
Japanese understanding of the cove
nant was set forth merely as 'tsubstan-
TALLY the same as that entertained by
the Government of the United States.
When the Czechosloyakian acceptance
has found It's place In the State De-
partment files Secretary Kellogg will
be IN position to determine the time
place and circumstances of the actual
signing OF the treaty. This may be
done In informal conversations with
the ID nations involved, but Mr.. KEEL
logg declines to make any specific
statement OF his plans,
Response to Presidents Greeting.
Replying to President Coolidge s
Bastille day message, In which he re-
ferred to Frances acceptance of the
anti-war treaty, President Doumergue
declared In a eabelgram, also made
public last night at the State Depart
ment. that he Joined the American
Executive In the hope OF seeing "a
formal and general agreement shortly
crown the disinterested efforts of our
two countries"
No comment Ia forthcoming at the
state Department on Epaln'G reported
desire to be one Of the original sigma
tories. The department holds, however
that since the preamble of the treaty
provides for signature by ID nations, no
change can be made without consult
ing all the states involved. The treaty

enee OF every nation In the world.

Open Tournaments in Tennis.

Another question which seems para
mount in the minds of the followers
Of the game Is: When and where will
the open tournaments be held this year?
The answer IS simple. Any club that
applies and receives sanction from th2
professional ani amateur lawn tennis
associations can hold an open tourn7-
ment on either clay or grass courts. In
othcr words. with tho passing of the
rule at the last meeting of The United
States Lawn Tennis Association per-
mitting the meeting Of both amateurs
and professionals in omen eronts. pro-
viding sanction Is given BY both mar
ties. the same situation will prevail in

What Defense Now2

Between now and April O. attorneys for Harry F.
Sinclair and Albert 3. Fall must construct a whole
new defense for their clients on the charges of con-
spracy to defraud the Government in the leasing of
the Teapot Dome naval oil reserve.
Testimony of M. T. Everhart Falls son-n-law
has made this necessary. Facts he revealed to the
Senate Public Lands Committee have completely de-
moShed the line of defense indicated at the opening
Of the first trial last October.
At that time. defense counsel said Sinclair had
no financial interest in the Continental Trading Com
pany and had received none of its bonds Even
though the Government able to trace bonds from
the Continental Trading CompanyS hands into the
hands of Albert Fall, there was no evidence they
claimed, to link Harry F. Sinclair with this transac-
ton.
Now Everhart has told that the famous bonds were
handed to him by Sinclair
1t was on April II, 1922 that the Teapot Dome
lease signed.
On April IS and II President Osler of the CONT
mental Trading Company directed New York bank
to purchase 100000 worth of Liberty bonds
On May 8, Osler received the bonds and signed
for them.
On May 90, Everhart deposited $23o5O0 of the
same Liberty bonds to the account Of Fall and his
land and cattle company.
Recitng these significant dates the United States
Supreme Court said last October that "the clandes
tine and unexplained acquisition of these bonds by
Fall confirms the belief generated by other circum-
stances Of the case, that he was faithless public
officer"
The Public Lands Committee and Everhart have
now added to this chronology the fact that in that
same May, these same bonds we're handed to Ever
hart by Sinclair.
Everhart indicated attempt was made to
clothe this transfer of bonds with semblance Of
business regularity, done in the transfer of
money from Edward L. Doheny to Fall. But at the
same time he revealed what casual and unbusiness
like attempt this was.
He was told he said, that Sinclair was giving him
the bonds to purchase third interest in Club" to
be organized with Falls bankrupt ranch properties
But Sinclair never took a stock certificate nor any
other proof of an interest in the property.
1t may be that Sinclair's attorneys will seek to
build defense upon this for the coming retrial,
claiming it was legitimate business transaction.
Edward L. Dohenys lawyer convinced jury that the
long missing, mutiated note made the little black
bag transaction legitimate. But first they had to
build background for Doheny of reckless generosity
and long standing friendship with Fall. The Sin
clair legal staff will have more difficult time.

CHALL we listen, for a while, to a
~ Roman play? Note how the the
alter differs from those of the
Greeks; there is no more chorus; the
orchestra" where once the chorus
danced is filled with seats for the
more fortunate spectators; and here
a curtain rises and falls upon the
play to mark those divisions Of act
and scene which once were made by
the choral song.
The chorus has died a natural
death by easy stages in the new
comedy of Menander and the later
Greeks; all that is left of it here is
the occasional singing of part by a
boy at the side, while the actor
makes the gestures in the fashion
of LIE Cog dor"
1t is a simple thing, this Roman
drama; it is nearly all comedy, for
the people deprecate unhappy end
ings, and are inclined to forbid
them, if not by law like the Hindus,
by taking the tragedianS off the
stage and pummeling them into a
better humor.
The aristocracy Of Rome does not
care for the stage, and the populace
has its way. At first the plays are
mere Saturai-medleyS of primitive
farce; then they are mines and
fables" in which the conversation
is left to be improvised by the
player.
1t is. from these old farces that
italian and modern comedy will
rise; and from these crude figures
the stock characters of comedy will
take form: the glutton always edg-
ing towards a meal, the obstructive
father, who has more wealth than
brains the clever slave Qater a
servant) who, having more brains
than wealth, concocts and untangleS
the intrigue, the extravagant youth
who wishes to marry a chamber
maid always a princess in disguised i.
and the rollicking clown with the
gaily colored patches, long and
baggy trousers, doublet of mighty
sleeves, and shaven head: the
Romans called him Sannio (zany) !;
we call him, in his later avatarS,
Pulcinello, or Polichinelle.
The audience is of a piece with
the play, rough and simple and
dull; comic lines and situations
must be repeated frequently to reach
their comprehension.
Terence tries to be subtle, and
the audience walks out, calling for
more violent humor.

Backbone of Romance

The urge that drives us into I'M
known places, whether based OH
vanity, ambition, greed or curiosity,
that produces a dozen failures
where it leads to one success, that
makes 100 fools where 1t develops
one wise man, is the backbone of
romance and achievement.
The illusionment that "the grass
is greener over the HILL" that it is
better to buy Scent mining stock
in project 1000 miles from home
than to put money in the village
savings bank; that rowing is desir-
able even though "a rolling stone
gathers no moss" and that the man
who finds something new deserves
to be cheered though it is worth
less, has not only inspired the hui
man race to spread over all the
world, but to improve it's original
condition.
This is the illuSionment that sent
Columbus toward the setting sun,
while millions shivcred with empty
fear; that formed those great COM
mercial enterprises and expeditions.
without which the new world could
never have been settled and devel-
oped; that made New York pirate
center 230 years ago. and created
the background for clever liars to
paint an erroneous picture Of Cap

The willingness of the State
Board of Accounts to close it's eyes
to a transgression of the law in
it's strict Interpretation is satisfy
ing to the people who have the
welfare of the Madison County
tuberculosis hospital at heart.
With the State boards consent,
Mrs. Ella B. Kehrer will be con-
tinued as superintendent Of the
institution, which stands as a
monument to her personal Sacri-
flee for others.
It is of second Importance that
there will be no expenditure of
money to pay the salary of a
licensed physician as head of the
hospital. The law, as it is writ
ten, requires a graduate Of med
ical school for the place, but so
long as Madison County is salts
fed with the management of its
own institutions, and regular re-
ports are made, there will be no
objection by the State Board of
Accounts. With no salary to pay,
all the money that is raised by
taxation will go toward the care
C4 tuberculosis patients.
The new board of trustees has
been interested above everything
else in retaining Mrs. Kehrer. Its
members had previously said as
much, and had promised that If
they were compelled to name a
physician superintendent it would
be with the understanding that
the appointee would act only in
a nominal capacity, leaving Mrs.
Kehrer to go ahead with her work.
Even that is unnecessary, the
State board has said.
The State Board Of Accounts
has always taken the fair attitude
toward the tuberculosis hospital.
