DISPATCHES from Gevena say
= that the central opium board
of the League Of Nations was com.
PEELED, by objections from repre-
sentatiyes of France and Yugo-
slavia, to delete from its report
eaustic criticism of the abnormal
narcotics consumption in Japan
and France, the inference being
that drugs supposedly for medical
purposes had escaped from regular
channels and been made available
to the illicit dope dealers. The ex-
purgated report read to the league
council merely mentioned certain
countries but at the asme time
unfoded to the council the fact
that seizures of opium illieitly
transported were now in tons
where heretofore they had been in
ounces.
The league commission to study

bate, to invite Russia, Turkey and
Iceland to participate in the dis
cussions of the economic phases of
the plan when it is taken up again
probably next May. The invitation
to the Soviet government was in

Grandi of Italy and julius Curtius

MACD0NALD'S FALL
AGAIN THREATENED
Defeat on Trades Bill and Split
in Labor Party Held
0minous.

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, February 27-The trades
dispute bill, which Prime Minister
Macdonald recently maneuve-ed through
the House of Commons on its second
reading by a small majority, appeared
doomed today, the victim of situation
which threatened the government itself.
Returning from a holiday, Mr..
Macdonald found the bills important
provisions nullified by an amendment
foisted upon it in standing committee
yesterday by union Of Conservatives
and the very Liberals who a few weeks
ago aided the premier in passing the
bill
The action of the Liberals, which had
been generally expected, nevertheless
aroused the ire Of Labor's Left wing.
The prime minister today appeared
10 have little alternative but TO drop
the measure, since TO pass it with the
amendment would not remedy the
situation he had sought.
The bill would have extended the
right of the trade unionists TO strike.
Dropping it was regarded as likely TO
widen the growing breach between the
ministry and the extremists of the
party-a breach made more apparent
yesterday by resignation from the Labor
group of Oliver Baldwin, son Of the
former Conservative premier.

DANVILLE, Va, February 27.-Harry
r. Fitzgerald, late president of the River
side g. Dan River Cotton Mills, left an
estate which is given a tentative ap-
praisal of S310,989.27, it is shown by
his will, admitted to probate today. The
estate was bequeathed to his widow
and four daughters, provided for IN
direct gifts of various stocks and trust
funds. Mrs Fitzgerald and the First
National Bank were named executors.
The court appointed a board of ap-
praisers to arrive at closer value OF
the estate No direct request TO charity
was made, but a clause in the will ex-
plains this, indicating that during his
life he had contributed generously to
persons and institutions he deemed
worthy of support. There is one con-
tingency, in the event of which Ferrum
Training School will get $4,000 from
an endowment fund established for his
children If there are no descendants.
If the school is not in existence, then
the trust will pass to Mount Vernon

spots in which to place them, He then
handed his audience a fiashlight and
demanded that they look.
Presto, there was great rejoicing
among the cockroaches. Hundreds of
them, who withstood the attack of
sodium flouride leveled against them
the other day, rushed upon the tablets
and began to devour them, brandishing
their whiskers ecstatically the while.
They will predicted Harris, all be

"Ah," said reporter. That's what

no other, who rid the White House of
its cockroaches. Yes. indeed, September
