CECIL DENOUNCES
TRADING IN SLAVES
British Statesman Says
World Records Show 5,OOO,-
600 Held in Bondage.
BY the Associated Press.

GENEVA, October !. - Lord Cecil
Viscount of Chelwood, one of Britain's
foremost statesmen in the League oil
Nations Assembly, yesterday computed
the number of slaves still lexisting in the
world at 100000 and made an i'm
FASHIONED appeal for suppression Of
slave -owning and slave-trading.
Lord Cecil protested vigorously against
rejection by the Assembly Committee
of a British proposal to create perma-
nent slavery commission to examine the
whole subject, and its decision to post
pone consideration of any new pro-
cedure outside of the present slavery
convention until next year.
Sees Difficulties Confronted.
"Of course" he said, "if any one
knows that slavery exists in his terri
tory he can inform the secretariat, but
l do not know any one so self-denying,
and if any one informs the League of
delinquencies of his neighbo.s his posi-
ton will be difficult"
The British delegation, Lord Cecil
said, had been prepared TO go the limit
in concessions, but despite that no new
machinery had been established.
The result" he said, will be re-
ceived with deep disappointment by
hundreds of thousands throughout the
world who take deeply to heart this
outrage upon humanity"
Says Slavery Brings Greater Evil.
Slave owning, he continued. involves
still greater eVil-SlaVe trading, which
will go on as long as slave owning exists
He added that whatever might be said

PLANET FOUND

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, April a
d.N.S).-The question, has a
tenth planet been found, alb
sorbed astronomers today.
Results of the examination Of
Photographic plates and charts.
from 1906 to 1924. at the
Dominion Observatory, in Ottawa,
Canada, were awaited with inter-
est, with the possibility that the
examination would disclose that
a second new ns-Neptunian
planet had been discovered.
DR.. Harlow Shapley, director Of
the Harvard Observatory, stated
that, from meager information
at hand here. the solar object
discovered on Photographic plates
taken by the Ottawa Observatory
in February, 1924 may be an
other trans eptunian planet, an
aSteroid, or q comet.
DR.. Meldrum Steward, director
Of the Ottawa Observatory, first
expressed the opinion that the
object was Planet x, but later
said he was inclined to agree with
Dr. Shapley. The latter said &C
was his opinion that the celestial
object photographed six years
ago at Ottawa was q new planet.

Fall River, Mass, Nov. IS (tP)- The city of Fall River has techni- ca!ly defaulted payment of two short-term notes totalling $1.60o.- GOO, the Providence Journal said to- day.
 The Journal said another note for S510, ,6u0 would be due Thursday and that the money for payment of that obligation was not in sight.
 City Manager Edward r. Harrins- ton admitted in q radio address last night that Fall River was tempor- arily in arrears,
 "On November 1, 1880, our liabili- ties for temporary loans were s. 9GH o0o.' Harrington said. On No vembnr 15. our liabilities for tenn rorary notes were s4.930.hO0 be- cause s2.000,G00 have been paid during that 15-day period.
 This year our tax collections have been reduced, 10 such an ex- tent that we must wait until we re-
 
 di1ional collection of taxes to deter mine exactly the amounts of the notes we will be able to meet" The city manager indicated that only AS Der cent of the city taxes had been collected 10 date.
 Harrington also revealed his in tcntion of resigning at the end of the year. Excessive cares and re- responsibilities attending the office, and unjust criticism leveled at him were cited as reasons influencing his decision.
 City Treasurer John J. QuirI1 stated that late this month Fall River will receive more than sS00.- U00 as it's share Of the states per sonal and corporation income taxes. Much of this amount probably will b. used in settling the city's over due indebtedness, Quirk said.
