BASEL is CHOSEN
WORLD.BANK SITE
City of Northwest SWitzer-

ton of Committee.
a. the Associated Press.

BY the Associated fteSS.
BADEN-BADEN, Germany, Novem-
Der e-Basel, city of Northwest Swift
zerland, was chosen as the site for the
new Bank for international Settle
nents by the organizing committee here
today.
The choice was made after debate
and discussion that began to be acri-
monious at The Hague reparations con-
ference in August. The delegates then
found the problem of the banks site
so thorny that they turned 1t over to
subcommittee of bankers, who have
been meeting in Baden-Baden since
October 3 to form the statutes and
charter and choose the site.
The Belgian delegation left the con-
ference for home when Brussels was
rejected. France and Belgium both sup
ported the choice of the Belgian cap
ital, but DR.. Schacht of Germany was
said to be strongly opposed to it.
Basel is a compromise choice. Sew
eral countries, including Great Britain
and Germany, had previously been in
favor of London, but France vas firm
against it. AS a substitute France
favored Basel and Germany Zurich.
The bank was provided for py the
Young plan conference to handle Ger
man reperations payments to the allies
Some of the organizers hope that 1t
will come to play an important part in
the financial affairs of The world, even
enviSaging a kind of Super-bank.

Also Agree to Inquire
Whether His Conduct at
Trial Influenced Verdict.
ATTORNEYS FEAR ATTACK
ON PRATT HAD INFLUENCE
Contend Defendant Had Equal
Right at Hearing With
His Accusers.

The District Commissioners today
voted to entertain the appeal of Police
man Robert j. Allen from the findings
of the Police Trial Board, which con-
victed him on charge of insubordina-
ton and sentenced him to dismissal
from the force, and at the same time
agreed to give careful" consideration
to his request that an investigation be
made to determine whether his con-
duct at the trial Wednesday had any
influence on the verdict.
The action of the Commissioners was
taken an hour after the receipt of the
formal notice of the appeal, to which
was coupled letter urging that MEM
bers of the Trial Board be called upon
to certify whether the findings were in
any way affected by Aliens actions at
the trial. The appeal, together with the
letter, was filed with the Commissioners
at 1890 o'clock this morning by II.
Ralph Burton and Tench T. Marye,
Aliens attorneys, and at 1880 o'clock
replies were transmitted to the lawyers
Granted Usual 10 Days.
In entertaining the appeal the Com
miSsioners granted Aliens counsel the
usual 10 days in which to submit a
written statement in support thereof.
No indication was given, however,
whether the Commissioners proposed to
call upon the trial board members to
certify as to the influence the police
mans conduct had on their verdict.
Holds He Was Privileged.
fya az ion
of the trial board members called at
tention to press reports of the trial
which showed that Inspector Louis j.
Stoll, chairman of the board, suggested
that the officer was guilty Of insub-
ordination in pleading his own case be-
cause of his violent attack on Maj.
Henry @. Pratt, superintendent OF po-
lice, and points out that anything he
said was privileged. thereby eliminating
any question of insubordination.
Position Of Attorneys.
The attorneys take the position that
they have right to know whether the
statement Of Inspector Stoll had any
bearing on the verdict. It is their
contention that whatever Allen did or
said at the trial could not be consid-
cred in the deliberation on evidence
submitted In connection with the
CIlhTBS Ot INSTRUMENTATION PASACAACA w
Maj Pratt.
The notice of appeal together with
the request for a certification of the
attitude of the trial board regarding
Aliens statements at his trial, follows:
1--WE transmit herewith notice of an
appeal to be made, in accordance with
the provisions of the police manual, in
the case Of Robert j. Allen; and, in
connection Herewith, we desire to re-
spectfully call your attention to several
matters which might possibly not be
considered appropriate to present in a
formal appeal.
According to press reports, when
Allen had rested his case and made a
move to retire, Inspector Stoll called
him back and asked him If he did not
think his conduct before the board. in
making certain statements, constituted
characterization.
Certainly there can be no question
in your minds, as in that of any one
familiar with the rules governing the

SMOOT SURPRISES
TARIFF COALITION
Proposes Recess to Permit
Opposition to Agree Upon
Complete Program.
Continued on Page 2, Column -

BY the Associated Press.
A proposal that the Senate recess un-
til November 20 and that the coalition
of Democrats and Western Republicans
in control of tariff revision in the mean
time agree upon complete program was
made in the Senate today by Chairman
Smoot Of the finance committee.
Senators Simmons of North Carolina
and Borah Of Idaho, leaders of the
Democratic Republican independent
coalition, which has a majority in the
tariff contest, Immediately voiced pro-
tests against the proposal.
1--WE owe It to the country" shouted
Simmons, Ito discuss this bill publicly.
If the Senators who proposed this legis-
lation are not willing to enter upon that
discussion then we will enter upon 1t by
ourselves for the enlightenment of the
public"
Coalition Accept Responsibility.
Senator Borah, Republican, Idaho,
said the coalition had taken over re-
sponsibility for the tariff legislation in
the Senate and asserted the group ac-
cepted that responsibility.
I'm my judgment" he added, at Is
incumbent upon us to dispose Of the
bill as rapidly as possible. What the
country wants is speed"
The Smoot recess proposal was un-
expected and apparently surprise to
the coalition leadership.
Borah said he thought most of the
Senators already had made up their
minds as to how they would vote on
most of the rates in the bill, adding he
did not wish to see the bill fail
Some provisions of the bill are of
vital moment to the American people, "
he asserted. IF by our inaction or
delay or neglect we shall lose some of
its provisions we would be doing a
substantial injury to the American
people.
while I am interested in the rates"

as they relate to the executive and
legislative bodies"
Refers to Flexible Provision.
This referred to the flexible provision
of the tariff act which the coalition
amended to take from the President
and give to Congress authority to raise
or lower duties SO per cent on recon-
mendation of the Tariff Commission.
Shoots proposal was made shortly
after the Senate convened. 1t was pre-
ceded by Senator Norris of Nebraska, a
Republican independent, offering an
amendment designed to prevent radical
pyramiding of selling prices on imported
goods by the imposition of tax of 80
per cent of the retail price after allow
ing for duty, freight, insurance and a
profit of Is per cent.
Norris contended enormous and un-
considerable profits" were being made

Railroad with the Southern Pacific lines
are under way. The. paper credits its
story to reports here"

said, "that the Interstate Commerce
Commission would approve the merger,
since this would be putting into effect
part Of what the Ripley plan Of railroad
consultations proposed about eight
years ago. An agreement between the
two lines would be necessary before the

val was asked"
The Cotton Belt runs from st. Louis

As the conscientious reporter, one probably also ought to report that Mrs. Lindbergh, when she stepped out of her husbands plane, wore an Alice blue ensemble, with coat and hat of some woolen material printed silk frock to match, beige hose and black shoes with one trap.
 This possibly is old stuff, but your correspondent has noticed it for the first time:
 At one of the main entrances to the department of the interior there hung a large oil painting of former Secretary Albert B. Fall. who was accused of bartering away the naval oil reserves for personal gain. This painting hung alongside those of various other former secretaries, but it was placed so conspicuously that it gazed into the faces of all persons leaving the elevators. Naturally. this aroused some comment. But now a huge map of the United States hangs where the Fall picture hung before. And MT. Fall has been moved down the hall.

Williamstown, Mass, Aug 15 tA, Wire and radio communications are two of the most vital factors now strengthening Latin American relations, M. c. Rorty, vice president of the International Telephone and Telegraph Corporation, said today Tn an address before the Latin Amerl- can confernce of the Institute Of Politics.
 Tt is difficult to over-estimate the valre of international wire com- munications from the standpoint Of those friendly and wholesome under standings between nations which It is the aim of sound politics to bring about" said Mir. Rorty.
 While Latin American countries will always be more akin to Latin Europe in certain traditions and habits, these same nations are grow ing economically and industrially more and more akin to the United States. Wire communications are among the most vital factors In strengthening those TeldllollS. | The growth of wire communlca- | tions between the United States and Latin America has been partly due to the relative Cheapness of their es- tablishment.
