 garian Border Coming Up

Geneva, Switzerland, Feb, 1 F)- The mysterious arrival of c.ooo ma chine guns on the Hungarian-Aus- trian frontier alleged to have been destined for Hungary. discovery Of which has caused much commotion in political circles in Europe, ap- pears scheduled to come before the League of Nations.
 It was announced today that the machine gun incident will be the subject of notes from the little en- tente powers to the league since shipment of arms into Hungary is in violation of the treaty of Trianon by which peace was established be- tween Hungary and the allied pow CTS.

 The consignment of machine guns. which is alleged to have come from an Italian firm, has been causing some excitement in political circles in Europe especially as reports have been current that Rumania was hesi- tating to join her partners in the little entente. consisting of Jugo- slavia, Czechoslovakia and Rumania, in the protest.

FACULTY FIGHT IS :. NOT SERIOUS ONE
DMaouCe it Connecticut Col.
 ls6s Cleared Up

Hartford. Feb. l F0Dlnerenoes of opinion and of personality be- tween President Benjamin T. Mar shall of Connecticut College for Women at New London and Dr. John Edwin Wells. head of the Eng lish department at the college since ls17. were the fupdamental cause of special meeting of the trustees held in this city January 20.
 The immediate cause was re port from a special committee of three appointed to investigate the merits of a controversy between the two educators regarding freshmen courses in the department of Eng ljSh:
 The meeting wa. III no sense B. secret one. All members Of he board of trustees were present with the exception of Professor Wilbur l.. Gross of New Haven whose wife died on the day of the meeting and one other member who IS in the south.
 President Marshall, an exofflcio member of the board of course vas not present. being one of the parties to the controversy.
 The members of the committee were Harrison B. Freeman Of this city. Professor Cross and Mrs George Maynard Minor of Water ford Professor Crcss Is dean of the graduate school at Yale.
 Ihs other members of the Eng llsh department at Connecticut Col le2e for Women sided with Frcfes- sor Wells ln the dispute which had 10 do with what are called pre-re- auts,te courses Tn English and in- velved nothing more sensaflonal than the teaching of course ,n Enrlish literature and one Tn Shake speare,
 The committee Of three trustees were unanimous in their report 10 the board and sustained the Eng ltsh department in its contention that it should have supervision over it's own courses but condemned the manner in which Professor Wells had conducted himself in his differ enees with President Marshall. These differences have been q mat ter of some concern to the trustees of the college for four or five years. The report of the committee was unanimously accepted by the board
 Prof. Wells has been of the opin- ion that girls coming to the college as freshmen needed more thorough grounding in the principles of Eng lish while President Marshall has held that they were ready for ad- vsnced work. upon entrance at the college.
 Various members of the board of trustees discussed the matter freely today saying that questions of cur riculum were ordinarily considered asr faculty matters but that in the present instance the lack of har- mony between Prof Wells and the president of the college was consid cred important enough for trustee action.
 \ regular meeting of the board ot trustees will be held in Hartford as is customary on February at the Hotel Bond. Secretary Collins Buel Of the board said today that nothing having to do with the issue between Dr. Wells and Pres. Marshall was scheduled to come up at this meet ing and he regards the matter as clo1ed incident.
 It is understood that President Marshall will abide by the decision of the. trustees in the matter of ad- ministratiop of the English depart mspt.

Texas Finishes the K. K. K.
fNew York World.)


 Another step in the fading of the Ku Klux Klan appears in the defeat of Senator Mayfeld in Texas. The run-off primary shows that Rep resentative Tom Conna1y has beaten him by an overwhelming majority. Thus disappears from Washington the Senator who, with tha possible exception of Jim Watson of Indiana has owed most to the Kan. Its Imperial Wizard boasted that in 1922 the Klan put Mayfeld over" His defeat now is logical sequel of the defeat of the Fergusons two years ago, and MT Connally calls it repudiation of the Klan flor all time"
 In this blow against the Klan and all that it represents part of the why the best Democratic elements in many Southern States are insistent this year upon party regularity. In Texas, Louisiana, Georgia and other parts of the South, as in Indiana. Colorado and other Northern States, the decent ctizenry is just struggling free of the Kan menace. The bgotry and intolerance which gave the Klan its strength are the same bigotry and intolerance which keep up the whispering campaign against Gov. Smith, which responsible for three-fourths of the narrow-minded clericalism projected into pol itcs, and which would make the campaign a religious fight if they could. Patriotic Southern CTS are against this. Under other circumstances, men like Gov. Moody with intense dry convic- tions might bolt the Presidential nominee. But Gov. Moody and thousands like him know that this would simply be fighting the battle of in tolerance that they would simply be helping to restore the Klan, or something like it, to power
 The stuggle against bigotry in the South has been going on for years. With the fight so largely won there be no backward step this fall

THE HOUSTON TARIFF PLANK.

Senator Curtis is wrong when he declares that the tariff plank in the Democratic National plat form is repudiation of the Democratic tariff record It is true that it recognizes the principle of protection and, therefore, is different from the old Democratic slogan of tariff for revenue only. But the Democratic tariff record did not justify the old slogan. The Underwood Tariff Bill recognized the principle of protection The Hous- ton platform made party policy of the very prn- ciple that adopted by the makers of the Underwood Bill. It declares for tariff that will ocver the difference in production costs here and abroad, and allow for a continuation of the higher wages that prevail in this country. It opposes the Fordney MeGumber Tariff which in many of it's schedules, in addition to covering the difference in the cost of manufacturing here and in foreign countries allows wide margin for excessive profits. It is true that according to Democratic theory, some Fordney- -McCumber tariff schedules ought to be reduced It may be that scientific investigation would disclose that some of the schedules, if the Houston platform principle were applied, ought to be raised.

"AS GOES MAINE -"

Without any specific information to the political situation in Maine it does not likey that the State election there next week can vote in November The election in Maine will turn State issues and party affiliations of the voters We suppose that it will be conceded that Gov. Smith cannot be elected President without getting Republican votes, for there are certainly Republican voters in the country than Democratic Gov. Smiths supporters expect that he will get Republican votes on account of the things for which he stands-particuarly because he favors the modification of the Pro- hibition laws-and because of his personality Their expectations might have sound basis and yet there would be no reasn why Republicans in Maine would vote against satisfactory members of their party for State offices Democrats are not hopeful of converting Republicans into Democrats they that Republicans, without surrendering party affiliations may vote for Gov Smith for President On the other hand assume Ca very improbaby thing) that the Democrats would carry Maines State election. That would not be any assurance that Maine would vote for Gov. Smith in November. Maine has been a Pro- hibiton State since 1859 She beat the rest of the country to it by sixty years. It is fair to conclude that Maine favors Prohibition If the Republican State candidates were to prove un- satisfactory and the Republican majority next Monday would be smaller than expected that would be indication that Gov. Smith and his issues particulary popular up there
 We fear that Maine is an unreliable baro- meter so far as her State election is concerned at least, for this year.

He has supported the Republican Presidential nominees in the last two elections and the Republican nominee for Governor of New York in the last State election there. In the meantime he has been receptive candidate for most of the high Democratic nominations but has not got one of them Possibly that is the he has not liked the Democratic nominees.
