CHICAGO, September 5.-A double
murder, the fifth outbreak of gang guns
in Chicago within a week, was commit

of Jacob Riis Park, Fullerton and Mar

The bodies discovered by men on
their way to work, lay on strip Of
lawn bordering the park. Automatic
pistols and sawed-off shotguns had
been fired at close range.

Cy Cawley, about Is years old, had
been picked up and questioned in con-
nection with many of Chicago's recent
crimes. The gang massacre of last
April, when seven men were shot down
in North Clark street garage, was one
OF them, but Cawley finally was re-
leased.
CawIey "MuscIed In"
Willie McElligott, a year or two
younger than Cawley, was less known
to police, who classified him as minor
hoodlum and gang member.
Cawley's forte was to muscle" into
rackets which offered easy money. He
gained a powerful place in a garage

by telling the association president to
resign or be killed. The president re-
signed and Cawley "muscled" in.

Root Plan Approval Seen.
The Assembly is expected to approve
at the current meeting the reservations
formulated by Elihu Root and Sir Cecil
Hurst to secure American adhesion to
the Permanent Court Of international
Justice, or the World Court, as 1t Is
more widely known.
This action, which was made probable
Yesterday by the unanimous mdorse-
ment of the conference OF World Court
signatories approving the Root-Hurst
formula, will leave only American ratl-
f1cation and acceptance by the United
States Senate In the way Of Americas
entry into The Hague tribunal.
Some mystery attended the blanket
Endorsement given the Root-Hurst
formula by the tribunal signatories yes
terday in their secret session. 1t was
known to have been argued by some
that the America Senate should tndi-
cate It's approval of the formula before
any such action was taken.
Rumor, more or less tacitly denied,
said Sir Eric Drummond, secretary gen.
eral of the League, assured the con-
ference he had information the United
States State Department was in accord
with the formula and would Seek Its
ratification by the American Senate.
There was every reason to believe, he
was said to have declared. the reserva-
tons expressed in the formula would
meet the Senate's approval.
Passed On to Assembly.
In the line of this communication
the conference, at which only % of Al
signatory states were represented, gave
its immediate approval to the formula
and passed 1t on to the Assembly Of the
League, whose Endorsement was accept
ed as certain.
Paul Hymans, Belgian foreign min
lister, advocated q closer linking Of the
Kellogg-Briand peace pact with the
covenant of the League of Nations.
He held the Kellogg pact was infinite
ly stronger than the League covenant
because 1t interdicted all wars of ag-
erosion, while the covenant of the
League left the door open for war when
the council was unable to reach unan-
unity as to the identity of the aggressor.
He recommended also reinforcing of
the Kellogg pact by number of prac-
tical measures which would include ex-
tension of arbitration but would embody
especially system Of penalties against
aggreSsor nations and a scheme of
financial assistance for countries men,
