H|BERN|AN DINNER.
Irish Free State Minister Ex-
peCted at st. Patrick's
. Day Event.

Minister Michael MacWhite. the new
Envoy of the Irish Free State to this
country. is expected to attend the an
Aual st. Patrick's day banquet of the
Ancient Order of Hibernians of this

O'Clock at the Willard Hotel.
Speakers at the banquet will include
Commissioner Proctor L. Dougherty,
Bishop Thomas Shahan. Bishop John
NJ. Mcnamara and Rev. Ignatius Smith.
The banquet committee is headed by
James T. Mccarthy.
For many years St. Patrick's day has
been celebrated by the Ancient Order
of Hibernians, which is composed OF
persons of Irish descent, without regard
to religious faith. In this connection
it is pointed out that many of the out
standing Irish patriots, particularly Par
nell, Easement, Emmett and Wolf Tone
have been Protestants.
Two other celebrations have been ar
ranged for st. Patrick's day.
The Friendly Sons of st. Patrick will
hold their first annual banquet at the
Mayflower Hotel. Senator Shortridge OF
California. DR.. Harry Lappen of Buffalo
and John Crosby. New York lawyer, will
speak. The Irish tenor. Colin O'More,
will sing several songs during the
banquet.
The City Club will celebrate St.
Patrick's day with dance in the ball
room at the club headquarters. The
decorative plans call for duplicate of
the Barney Castle and kissing stone
in a setting of green with shamrocks
1nterspersed.
The dance will begin at 9 pm. and
close at am. Music will be furnished
by the City Club Syncopators.

WURTZBAUGH SUIT
DISMISSED BY JUDGE
Plea Of Richmond Widow for
Damages From Express Agency
Thrown From Court.

~ the Associated Press.
BALTIMORE, March 9.-After being
fought through more than a dozen
courts, the suit of Mrs Theresa A.,
Wurtzbaugh, Richmond, Va, widow, to
recover damages from the loss of a
press Agency, Inc, formerly the Ameri-
can Railway Express Co., and the Ma
tional Surety Co., was thrown out of
court today by Federal Judge Morris A.
Sopher
The action was originally filed in
Fulton County, Ga, in May, 1927, to
recover damages from the loss or a
trunk in Georgia in 1919. which she
said contained a daguerrotype valued
at $4,000 and other valuable articles.
Mrs. Wurtzbaugh failed to appear in
court today. attorney for the defend
ant corporation moved for dismissal,
and the plea was granted on Mrs.
Wurtzbaugh's failure to cover costs in
the case and lack of jurisdiction over
the railroads and other corporations in
volved in the action.
The suit filed in Georgia was lost,
and Mrs. Wurtzbaugh fought through
one court after another until more than
a dozen corporations were involved in
the suit.

IRAK COURT PROJECT
HAS LEAGUE BACKING
Council Believes Powers Holding
Special Privileges Should
Accept New Order.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
GENEVA, March 9-Great Britain S
proposal to establish a new judicial sys-
tenn in Irak, whereby foreigners and ma
tives would be placed on the same legal
basis, was approved today by the Coun-
Gil of the League of Nations.
The existing agreement grants spe-
cial judicial privileges to the citizens of
certain states which formerly benefited
by capitulations in Turkey and did not
voluntarily renounce them before the
signature of the treaty of Lausanne in
1928. These privileges include the right
to have cases tried by British judicial
officers, either sitting alone or in COM
pany with Irak colleagues.
The council however raised the point
that powers possessing capitulatory
privileges must agree to renounce them
if the British project Is to be estab-
lished.
A representative of Persia, which has
no special rights in Irak, gave his I'M
qualified support to the British plan.
He said that hundreds of thousands of
Persians dwell in Irak. which they re-
gard as their holy land. He was con-
vinced that the placing of all the peo-
pie on the same legal footing without
discrimination would have excellent eff
feet on the relations between Irak and
other Eastern powers.

Trees Being Restored
By Irish Free State

Gov. Gen. James Mcneil has put his
signature to an act of the Free State
Parliament designed to institute plant
ing of trees throughout the country.
During and since the World War the
country has been largely denuded OF its
trees. The tourist notices that in many
places of natural beauty, where trees
were a~chief feature, these have now
disappeared.
Arboreal scantiness affects climate,
and already some of the irregularities
of the weather are attributed to 1t. One
of the earliest tasks of the new govern
ment was to start tree planting. 1t
planned reforestation of nearly 1000
acres with about 100000 trees even
while the civil war was in progress
in 1929.
Last year 5000 acres were planted
and this year they intend planting
80 r"res with nearly 100000 trees.
WICKLOW, Tipperary, Cork, Wexford,
Louth, LEX, Galway, Kilkenny and
Clare are the counties undergoing plant
ing. Under the new act no private
owner is allowed to fell tree without
a license, which is granted on condition
that new one Is planted to replace 1t.

aspect of the question into which We
shall not go farther in this study. But
over and above the influence of de-
cisive personality there is something
in the setting of these later years of
Mr. Roots life which must be taken
into account in any measurement of the
historical forces of our time
1t is superficial view Of politics
which limits it to the activities of office
holders. Rightly considered, the politics
of country is its corporate life. The
pulse of industry in the arteries Of trade
may be more real index OF its vitality
than the routine activity of legislation.
The policies of government and the laws
Of lawmakers are like the manners of
society and the clothes it wears. They
must be fitting for the work which the
nation has to do. And the nation, not
the filters, must decide whether they are
suitable or not.
In reaching this decision there is need
of leadership outside the halls of Con-
gress, leadership in that unofficial world
which President Nicholas Murray Butler
has SO well termed the sphere Of lib
erty." There is need for the free
expression of private judgment upon
political questions by those who are not
formally "in politics." and statesman

Dialects in Sweden
Confuse Unknowing

Sweden has as many different dia-
lects as it has provinces-ranging from
the half-swallowed Danish-iike talk Of
Scantia to the high-pitched sing-song
speech of Dalecarlia. But although the
dialects of the country people are con-
fising they use the same words In most
cases and short residences among the
inhabitants is sufficient to bring glinf-
mering Of understanding, even to the
person acquainted only with Stock
holmeSe.
There Is one language, however, which
utterly defies comprehension by any one
not brought up with it and strangely
enough it has found its origin in the
heart of Stockholm-th largest CITY Of
the country. Soderamerisk. or south
American" as 1t Is called, Is spoken
more or less as q slang by people living
on the large island Of "Soeder." which
lies on the south side Of Lake Maelaren
and the salt lake. Some Of the express
sions are slang-taken from pure SWed-
ish. an example Of which Is the word
"boena," meaning bean" In Swedish
and girl" In Soderamerisk Most OF
the words are variations Of foreign
nouns. verbs and adiectives. which have
been brought home from dozens Of diff
ferent countries by sailors
A study Of the speech would be pre-
vented by the fact that II changes from
day to day, depending upon which
foreign lands Swedish ships have
visited.

Rotarians Under Fire
By Fascists and Church

Rotary clubs and Rotarians in Italy
undergo as much criticism and more
downright opposition than do the Amer
lean branches and members of that in
ternational luncheon organization. The
-Rotarian barrage in Italy comes
from two formidable forces Of Italian
life-the Fascist party and the Roman
Catholic Church. Rotarianism is under
continuous fire from influential daily
papers and from leading Catholic pub
locations.
The chief accusation is that Rotary
owes its origin to and Is still interlocked
with Masonry which is anathema to
both Fascism and the church. The
fascist opposition also condemns Ro-
tarianism as an international movement
and anything international Is suspect
by the fanatical Nationalist of Italy.
Finally, Rotarianism is termed anglo
Saxon and American" in its ideals and
leadership which is also a grave delin-
quency for any idea submitted to ultra
Fascist Italian Nationalist.
To neutral observer the italian Ro-
tary clubs seem ultrapatriotic and FaS-
cist In both composition and conduct
and 1t should be said that though the
attacks are made in the name of Fas-
cism the leaders of Rotary are virtually
all members of the Fascist party.
At a recent Milan Rotary meeting the
president referred to the King as 'our
honorary president and the glorious
duce our defender" The crown prince
attended a recent Rotary meeting in
Turin and the Kings cousin, the Duke
of AoSta, Is to preside over the national
convention in Naples In May. These
eminent connections have not saved
Rotary from ultra Fascist attacks in
which he has joined Secretary Turati OF
the Fascist party.
Two attacks of the Vatican organ.
Osservatore Romano, and the Jesuit
Journal, Civilta Cattalica, Italian Ro-
tarians have retorted that score OF
Catholic bishops and hundreds OF
priests belong to American Rotary clubs,
which they say are wholly divorced from
Masonry, but the attacks continue with
great venom.

Senator Reed says this is as it should
be. He says the true way to fix quotas
is the national origins way. He would
have the future additions to the popu-
lation of the United States in the same
ratio as the United States is already
made up. Theoretically, nearly every
body agrees with him.
But the argument made by those who
oppose the national origins basis Is
chiefly that no statistician, and no one
else, can estimate accurately the pro-
portion of each racial strain In the
total or average blood Of the American
people. As this argument was put by
Senator Reed Of Missourt-who opposes
Senator Reed of Pennsylvania:
ANY one who will examine the ma
tional origins report viii understand
that at best 1t furnishes only the loosest
kind of guess as to the origins Of the
present population Of the United States.
AS to any man there may inter-
mingle in his veins the blood of half q
dozen races"
The further argument Is made that
We now have basis which, however
arbitrary. works fairly well. To try 10
shift to new basis. the national origins
basis, is TO stir up again the racial
rancors that attended the original
adoption OF the immigration restriction
policy.

Italians Fond of u. S.
Gold Coins for Jewelry

Sailors on Italian liners connecting
with New York do little business of
their own. They bring American gold
coins on their return voyage and sell
them not to bankers, but to jewellers.
In Naples or Genoa, for instance. they
manage to get as much as $3.50 In
exchange for a 81 gold piece. These
pieces find ready buyers In Southern
Italy and Sicily, where the jewelers.
elaborate them into necklaces, earrings
and bracelets.
This love for gold coin adornments in
Southern Italy is traditional, having
been introduced centuries ago by the
Greek and Albanian colonies which set
tied in those regions On feast days or
fiestas IL Is not an uncommon sight to
see q peasant girl covered with these
huge medallions and her boy friend
Wanting . $40 gold piece from his
watch chain. 1t Is estimated that
81 100000 In gold has been diverted to
italy IN ie2e for this use.

1t is not merely the physical risk

the distinctive interest in great per-

to the event: it is because the Nation

in which it has share Although Mr..
Root goes as private individual to

technically represents no one but him
self. yet, so great is the position which
he holds, so strong is the confidence in
his judgment, that by the mere fact Of
his going the country assumes the obli-
