WORLD COURT CLAUSE
is SIGNED BY CANADA
Signature of Dominion Must Be
Ratified by Parliament Before
It Is Effective.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Pre6S.
OTTAWA, September 21.-Canada
has signed the optional clause In the
statute for the Permanent Court Of In
ternational Justice, with reservations.
The signature of the Dominion is sub
ject to ratification by the Parliament
of Canada
The reservation provides that the OPP
tional clause does not apply to dispute
arising before its acceptance.
That 1t does not apply to disputes on
matters of domestic jurisdiction of dis
putes in regard to which agreement has
been made or is made for recourse to
some other pacific method or settle
ment.
Consequently, that it does not apply
to disputes with other members of the
British commonwealth of nations,
which are members of the League Of
Nations, as to which other methods Of
adjustment have been adopted.
It is further provided that any such
matter in dispute can be referred to
the Council of the League of Nations
Cor the period of one year rather than
to the Permanent Court of Interna-
tional Justice.
The same reservations were made by
Great Britain, Australia, New Zealand,
South Africa and India. The Irish Free
State signed subject only to the condi-
ton of reciprocity, that is, that the
clause should apply only with respect
to other nations which signed.

nurse followed a conference with Sena-
tor Overman of North Carolina, who,
it is understood, expressed the belief
the case and the unusual circumstances
involved, the public and the girls
family would be better satisfied If all
available information is thoroughly
sifted.
Collins, however, said his Office had
not been furnished with any new evil
dence that would tend to change the
verdict of the coroner's jury that Mrs.
Mcpherson strangled herself to death.
In the meantime, Allen also is con-
tinuing his independent investigation,
despite the fact that he faces a hear
ing before the trial board on q charge
of conduct prejudicial to the good order,
reputation and discipline of the Police
Department for his connection with
the case.
Allen announced last night he had
found several additional witnesses who
would support his theory OF murder.
Opposes Collins as Prosecutor.
"I feel that Assistant District At
torney Collins should not be the prose-
cr1tor selected to present this case TO
the grand jury" Allen said last night,
''due to the fact that he has repeatedly
expressed himself as being convinced
of the suicide theory"
"The grand jury is limited by law
to such an extent that 1t is virtually
impossible for it to handle case OF
this sort satisfactorily to all concerned.
The sole function of grand jury is
to return indictments in the event
they should become convinced that
some one should be brought into court
and tried All am attempting to prove
As that the girl was murdered. DO

crime. I feel sure that II ! am &C

SIGHTSEEING PLANES

Throughout the country, especial. ly in such cities sporting airports. the business of taking passengers up in the air in sightseeing planes has been developed to . considerable ecale. Unfortunately. some such planes have been Identified with dis astrous accidents, and before this unregulated business is developed too far it should be we'll worth the effort of authorities to apply more more stringent rules and regulations to protect the public.
 Nobody. confronted with the sight of such . plane and anxious for the thrill of going aloft. is in a position to inquire closely as to the service ability of the plane or the skill of it's plot. One remembers the action of Governor Trumbull last year who when confronted with the oppor- tunity of going up in . strangers plane refused to do so after he had inspected it. The governor. being q flying expert, quickly discovered that all did not coincide with his idea of safe flying.
 The ordinary individual is not as we'll equipped for such . decision as the governor. They take risks un- knowingly. It is the business of the authorities to prevent the unknow- ing taking of risks.
 Nobody would accept an automo. bile ride from . stranger if he be- came aware that the automobile wa. defective in important particulars. i or that the driver was deficient in elementary skill.
 Scores. If not hundreds, of enter. prisins business minded individuals have taken to buying virtually dis. carded planes and are taking the public for rides. This business need,
 more efiicial attention than it is re. ceiving.

 What causes husbands to aban- don their families, anyway: It is the most heinous thing possible. this leaving . woman and young ones upon the mercy of the world.
 Digging under the surface one in- variably finds that the husband has become discouraged; that he has been unable to earn enough in this land of riches and plenty to support his family. Seeing no improvement in sight, soaded into resentment 1t so- ciety, he decides to take French leave and support-if he can-only himself.
 Cowardly in the extreme. But 1t happens. No one can truthfully judge how he would act under similar cir- cumstances. To theorixe about the cowardiiness Of such an act is . far different thing than to be confront. ed with. the situation.

There were vile acts in ancient times. but some things just didn't happen: And among these was the deliberate abandonment ofthe young: or fall ure to take care of the aged; or the refusal to give to those on in years an opportunity to earn their liveli. hood.
