VOL I ARE HOME
 IS MENACED NOW

GENEVA, Jan. 16.-Heroic eff forts are being made to preserve the house at Geneva occupied by Voltaire, the great French philoso- pher and historian.
 This house, called "The Delight" (Les Delices) and situated in the heart of old Geneva, was Voltaire's home for many years. The writ CT had lost favor with King Louis XV and had taken refuge in Prus- sia. Dissatisfied there. he came to Geneva, in 1754 seeking, as he said, land of liberty.
 Later Voltaire abandoned The Delight and moved to Ferney, just across the French border, where he lived for 20 years. The famous house is now used for apartments and the owners want to replace it with a modern structure. Voltaire's friends wish to buy it and hand it down to posterity as a historic monument.

MAY OPERATE
 NEW AIR MAIL


 TIMBUCTOO, Jan. 16.-A com mercial airplane service over the Sahara Desert has been postponed by the General Aeropostal Com pany which transports mail from France to South America.
 One of the company's planes made a test flight from Gran to Colomb- -Bechar. Reagan and Tim buctoo with complete success.
 The Aeropostal company has two reasons for establishing such a route. It wants to avoid the pres ent dangerous route over the Rio del Gro region which is in fested with Moorish bandits. Re gently when two of the company's 5 pilots were forced down there they were held several months for ransom by bandits.
 The company also looks ahead to the days when a regular air service across the Sahara from Algiers to the Congo will be a reality. The recent tests were the first time a commercial plane had crossed the central Sahara desert. An automobile service from Reagan to Timbuctoo already exists.

SIX MURDERS LAID

CHICAGO, September IA poem.
one of those maudlin, sobby bits Of bar
room doggerel. was held responsible to-
day for six recent murders.
Frank Vercove, saloon hanger-on. was
the one who recited the verse. He was
the first to die. Clifford Riley. Billy
Clifford. Thomas McElligott, Cy Cawley
and Edward Westcott followed.
1t was last Spring in Madigan's sa-
loon in Cicero. Vercove, with reputa-
ton as an entertainer. had the floor.
He began recitation of the poem-a dra-
matte thing each verse Of which ended
in the accusative line, You coward"
Becomes Theatrical
q. Vercove may have had too much to
drink. Police believe it highly prob
able. He became theatric. Every time
he came to the line, you coward" he
paused and pointed his finger straight
at Billy Clifford.
Time after time vercove did this.
Suddenly Clifford snapped pistol from
under his shoulder and shot the old
man dead.
That was the story police heard to-
day. They learned, TOD, that VercoVe,
while pretty much of a derelict, had
one very good friend-a man powerful
in underworld affairs. This man was
not present when Vercove was shot, but
1t did not take him long to learn what
had happened.
Two Found Shot Dead.
A short time afterward Clifford and
his pal, Riley, were found shot dead
in an automobile behind a Cicero hotel
And not long after that Thomas Nc
Elligott got a bullet through his heart.
He was a close friend of the slain
Clifford.
On Thursday of this week Cy Cawley
and Edward Westcott were put on the
spot. These two, like McElligott, were
aligned with Clifford and were natural
enemies of the big shot" who was
Vercove's friend. .
Six men dead over a poem, police
said; poem that probably wasn't so
swell at that.

WAY IS CLEARED
FOR ROOT PLANO.K
Stimson, in Note, States He
Would Submit Protocol
to Hoover.
BY the Associa ted Press.

By the Associated Press.
GENEVA, September IA note from
Col. Henry L. Stinson, United States
Secretary of State, tc the League of
Nations has paved the way for the
Leagues approval of the protocol OF
Elihu Root and Sir Cecil Hurst which
will permit American adhesion to the
World Court.
The note was delivered last night
through the American legation at
Bern and simply stated that Col. Stim-
son would submit the protocol, drawn
up early last Spring in Geneva, to
President Hoover for signature. 1t was
explained it would then have to be rati-
fed by the United States Senate.
The protocol, as drawn up was de-
signed to meet the objections of court
signatories to reservation of the
United States Senate, this being that
no advisory opinions in which the
United States was interested could be
given by the tribunal, rightly named the
Permanent Court of International
Justice, without American consent.
Way Cleared for Withdrawal.
The protocol declared that the United
States might object to the court giving
such an advisory opinion in negotiations
with the League Council. The court
would not be bound by the protest, but
If the United States still found the
situation Objectionable 1t might with
draw from the court.
Unanimous endorsement of the proto-
col was given three days ago by ~ OF
the Al World Court signatories and ap-
proval of the Assembly OF the League
thereafter was expected as a mere
formality. Sympathetic interest by the
American Government was assumed
from the first, and official information

ment was satisfactory to the Govern
ment.

RENEWED TROUBLE
SEEN IN PALESTINE
Extended Period of Unrest,
Requiring Presence of Big
Army, Expected.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
JERUSALEM, September 7.-Open
admission has been made by persons
closely in touch with the situation in
Palestine that, although the British gov
eminent has matters firmly in hand,
an extended period of unrest requiring
large forces of troops may be expected.
Although the country has grown
noticeably more peaceful the last two
days, there were continued reports today
OF minor disorders and clashes between
British troops and Arabs, and between
Arabs and Jews.
Ten Bedouins were killed in a skir-
mish which followed their discovery
by British troops in the Esdratlon VAL
ley. They and their fellows were said
to have been engaged in looting the
Kear Tabor colony.
GAIA Fight Rumors Persist.
Despite official statements that the
reports we're without confirmation there
persisted rtimors of fights between Brit
ish soldiery and Bedouins near Gaza
Near the colony Kastinia so Arabs, with
two sheikhs. were arrested on suspicion
OF having participated in destruction Of
the colony
Authorities continued their roundup
of those deemed responsible for the re-
cent clashes. Special courts have been
established in accordance with the pro-
clamation of the high commissioner. Sir
John Chancellor. consisting Of British
members Of the administration. not nee
essarily judicial officers or persons with
previous judicial experience.
Battle Changes Form.
In one sense fhe battle has changed
from one of swords and rifles to one Of
words, with Jews and Arabs exchanging
mutual recriminations about each other.
On one point the Arabs and Jews
agree, that is, In holding the govern
ment responsible for lack of foresight
regarding the present emergency. The
Arab leaders argue that Palestine will
never enjoy peace and prosperity with
out the presence of strong military
forces unless some safeguards are given
the Arabs they won'tsbe driven from the
country by the commercial penetration
of the Jews.
Details of atrocities said to have been
committed by the Arabs in their attacks
on Hebron shortly after the trouble
broke out In Palestine were made public
by the Jewish funeral commission.
