Frank J. Loesch, of Chicago,

Eighteenth Amendment, but he
doesn't like to talk about it.
Hence several hundred Wash

ber of the commission translate
to them the meaning of the
famous report received a disap-
pointment last night when Mr..
Loesch at the last minute can
celled an engagement to speak
at the Church of the Covenant.
The parish hall was packed
when the pastor, the Rev. A. j..

Loesch had cancelled his en-
gagement.
Mr.. Loesch, head of the Chicago
crime commission, refused to
comment on why he had decided
not to speak.

NON DEBATABLE
N { EASU RE-
To Be VOTED
Night Session Will Take Up
Unopposed Local Items; 13
Questions to Be Settled

Non-controversial District bills
on the Senate calendar will have
a good chance for enactment at
a night session of the Senate Mon
day night.
Under a unanimous consent
agreement obtained by Senator
Charles McNary of Oregon the
Senate will meet on Monday night
at 7:30 to pass bills on the calen-
dar to which there is no objec-
ton.
There are now on the calendar
13 strictly local measures. How
ever, only a few of these will come
under the category of "non-cOntro-
versial" and the prospects are that
only very few District bills will
receive attention Monday night.
Merger Bill in Line
The first local measure which
will be reached on the calendar
will be the bill providing for a
merger of the Washington and
Georgetown Gas Light Companies.
This bill will not likely be passed,
Senator Robert B. Howell (RD
of Nebraska, objecting to it.
The Howell prohibition bill is
also on the calendar, but it will
not be considered because of it's
controversial character, and also
because of it's preferred status
under plans of the Republican
Steering Committee.
A bill providing new method
of court procedure on appeals
from rulings of the Public Utili-
ties Commission will come up,
but there will probably be objec-
ton. Merger of the car COM
panies as provided in another bill
is also likely to be defeated.
Taxi Bill Unlikely
Another act amending the
utilities law to require insurance
of taxicab operators will also
probably not be enacted.
A bill which would grant en-
ployes of the school system leave
with part pay for educational
purposes may be passed. Another
bill which would relieve the Com
missioners of certain ministerial
duties, such as the signing of
routine papers, will probably be
passed.

REED SEES ROOT
TEXT DANGER

A reservation to the Root
Hurst formula, specially protect
ing the United States against the
menace of advisory opinions by
the League of Nations Court was
advocated yesterday by Senator
Reed CR), of Pennsylvania,
In suggesting this course, Reed
was influenced largely by the teSti-
mony Wednesday of Elihu Root,
co-author of the formula, who at
first had told the Senate Foreign
Relations Committee that he
thought this country was amply
protected under the revised court
protocols.
Only Vague Protection
Under cross-examination by
Reed and other committee mem
bers, however, Root was forced to
admit this was rather vaguely
DONE" as the protocols now
stand.
Reeds attitude and that OF
other committee members IN
dicated that Roots appearance be-
fore the Foreign Relations Com
mittee only accentuated the grow
ing dissatisfaction with the Root-
Hurst formula.
Red Explains Plan
Explaining his proposal, Reed
said:
Everybody agrees that advis-
Ory opinions should not be rem
dered without the consent of in
terested parties. Mr.. Root claims
we still have the right of veto,
under the Fifth Senate reserva-
ton. Secretary of State Slim
son thinks we have it under
Article 68.
"SOme Senators agree with
one, some with the other, and a
third group, of whom am one,
doubt whether the right is pre-
served in either way.
"All 1 suggest doing is max
ing clear beyOng a doubt what
we all agree upon as desirable"
Reed said he thinks such res
ervatlon as he proposes should be
offered by some member of the
Senate when the question of rati-
flying or rejecting the treaty
comes before that body.
His position was of prime i'm
portance because he voted for
ratification with the Senate res
ervations in 1925,
