The provision to authorize the al
lowance of living quarters and other
household expenses of DR.. William A.
White, superintendent of st. Elizabeth

required to reside at the hospital, was
expected to be put back in the Interior

that measure was taken up in the Sem

from the bill in the House on a point
of order
A clause in the measure definitely
covering these allowances is being
fought as result of the opinion rem
dered early in the year by Controller
General McCarl that these allowances
should be charged against the salaries
of the employees.
Testifyir.g before the Senate appro-
priationS committee, DR.. White explain
ed that the employees who receive these
allowances do not live at the hospital
through choice, but because they are
required to reside there. It was further
stated before the committee that when

its representatives were advised anc

of the employees had quarters and main

Clyde B. Aitchison Of oregon, who
has been renominated as a member of
the Interstate Commerce Commission,
appearing as a witness today before the
Senate interstate commerce committee,
was told by Senator Wheeler, Demo-
crat. Montana, that complaints made
to him charged the commissioner with
neglect of valuation cases assigned to
him.
The commissioner, called at the re-
quest of Wheeler, was asked what the
commission had done about telephone
company valuation authorized by Con-
gress in 1915, when Aitchison replied
that the commission had been too busy
with other important cases, Wheeler
said:
nIaints have been made that valuation
cases assigned to you have been ne
elected for an unreasonable time.
Not Conscious Of Delay.
"All that I can say is that have
not been conscious Of that" the COM
missioner replied. 1T believe that the
opinion of the commission Is that my
work has been kept up"
Aitchison told the committee that ne
had been assigned to revise the COM
missions statutes, but that he had not
been relieved of his other work. Ihe
revision, he said, was long and ardu.
GUS task on which he had spent nan
his time during the last year, mcluo-
ing many nights and Sundays.

the commissioner agreed to submit
data giving a list of cases assigned to
him personally when hearings were
assigned when they were held and

League Rejoices When b.

BY the Associated Press.

PARIS. December 20-Foreign Min
ister BRAND, after receiving official
messages announcing that Bolivia and
Paraguay had submitted their differ
ences to the Pan-American Conference,
in his capacity as president of the
Council of the League of Nations, sent
this cable today to the two gov
ernments:
''The Council, and all whose efforts
were bent toward preventing aggrava-
ton of the dispute and toward facili-
tating peaceful settlement by any
method, can only rejoice at the halting
of the conflict between members of the
League united by race and common
traditions, and that the generous offer
of pan-American arbitration has been
favorably received.
THE Council also can only hope that,
thanks to the procedure which Clese
two parties have now adopted, there
will follow as rapidly as possible set
tlement of their differences which will
re-establish between them good under
SF~~S~N~~~"'
League RejOiceS.
Bolivia's acceptance of the good off,
ces of the Pan-American Conference
caused much rejoicing in League of
Nations circle and there was particular
pleasure in Bolivia's declaration that she
had accepted in pursuance OF the
minded suggestions OF the Coun-
ell of the League Of Nations.
The attitude of the two Latin
American states in recognizing and
bowling to the peace prayers OF the
League and Pan-American Conference
is felt to have established perma-
nent link between the League and the
Pan-American Union auguring well Tor
future collaboration.
lie Temps calls the result a moral
victory for the League and another
great personal victory for Foreign
Minister BRAND as president OF the
Council.
The work of Sir Eric Drummond,
secretary general of the League, in
supporting M. BRAND also was praised
highly.
AS he read that portion of the Boliv-
ian note mentioning the League CoUn-
Gil, Sir Eric said:
"I am happy. I shall eat my Christ
mas dinner in England feeling we have
done something worth while"
To Congratulate Kellogg.
When M. BRAND received the Minis
ters of Paraguay and Bolivia during the
discussion of the past few days he
voiced his belief that the dispute might
well be settled by such regional organ
isrns as the Pan-American Conference,
but added "If you don't succeed come
back to us and if you wish we will con-
woke a special session of the council"
It is likely that M. BRAND will ask
Norman H. Armour, American charge
d'affaires, to convey to Secretary Of
State Kellogg the Leagues congratula-
tions on the success of the Pan-Amer-
ican mediation.
