according to a report to be sub

enforcement commission by DR..
H. B. Boram, of South Bend, and
DR.. w. A. Guild, of Chicago.
DR.. Guild was named by the
commission to study the physical

selected DR.. Boran as his as
sistant. They examined 100 men
picked at random from the Fed,
eral prison at Atlanta. DR..
Boram reports.
without exception, the men
were physically defective and in
every case except two, the all

To END ARMS
ALLIANCES
Germany Fails to Urge Early
Convening of Disarmament
Farley at League Council

GENEVA, Jan. 81 (U.SO Little
change in expressed views on dis
armament was visible yesterday
when representatives of the great
powers began their discussions in
the League of Nations council
regarding limitation and reduc-
ton of the armed forces of the
world.
Germany had been expected to
ask, through Foreign Minister
CurtiuS, for a quick convening Of
delegates, probably in November,
for the heralded world disarm-
ament conference. But Curtius
merely urged that the council
set a date, and was not definite
as to the date in his speech. He
was supported by Dino Grand,
foreign minister Of Italy.
Draft Is insufficient
Curtis said, however, that the
preparatory draft of the disarm-
ament convention was insufficient
regarding land armament" Ger
many's formula for disarmament.
be said. was "the parity Of
security" Grandi, asserting that
Franco-Italian naval differences
should be settled before the world
conference, said security is not
primordial requirement"
No Formula Apparent
The French viewpoint, as eX'
pressed by Foreign Minister
BRAND, was that there is no alb
solute formula upon which dis
armament can be accomplished.
Arthur Henderson, British for
eign secretary, stressed his belief
that disarmament is one of the
worlds most important questions
and could not be settled until the
system of defensive alliances be
wiped out. This was interpreted
as a demand that France refrain
from renewal of alliances with
the little entente and other Cen
tral European small powers.

ARREST SAVES
MAN ON SPOT.

NEW YORK, Jan. 81 GN.S0
Henry Kretzer was on the spot.
Nothing short Of a miracle
could save him. He was being
taken for a ride.
Through the gray, early morn
ing mist the death car drove,
Kretzer in the rear, a gunman
on either side, ready to shoot if
he cried out.
The car reached Marcy Ave
nue. and South First Street in
Brooklyn. 1t slowed up. Kret-
zer waited, shuddertng, resigned
to his fate.
There was a heavy football be-
side the parked car. The three
men looked up. Pistol in hand,
Patrolman Witkenwicz had come
over to investigate the stop at
that hour. Seeing a pistol on the
floor he ordered them to the sta
ton house.
In court Angelo Savino admit
ted the ownership Of the gun and
was held. Kretzer and the other
man were freed.
Outside, Witkenwicz felt a hand
on his shoulder. THANK you
for pinching me-" he heard Kret-
zer say. Open-mouthed he stood
on the steps while Kretzer told
the story of his ride and rescue.

Can't Trisect Arc,

ALAMOSA, Colo, Jan. 81
G.N.SD When Miss Gala Hen

the Alamosa high school, told
one of her class that triSecting
an arc was one of the things
that just couldn't be done, Or
vile E. Roberts, 16, a junior,

about to accomplish the impos-
sible.
A week or so later he told
Miss Henline that he had sue
ceeded in trisecting an arc. He
could not explain the mathe-
matical principles involved, but
told his teacher that he had
succeeded after he had "sat up
until midnight figuring it out"

CLARK RULING
OPPOSED
BY Us.
Solicitor General Confident of
Winning Governments Ap-
peal From Dry Decision

Constitutionality of the Eigh-
teenth Amendment was challenged
in the supreme court again today,
nearly II years after the Nations
high tribunal declared it the law
Of the land.
The case reached the high court
on the Governments appeal from
the decision of Federal Judge
Clark of New Jersey declaring
the prohibition amendment had
been improperly ratified by State
legislatures instead OF conStltu-
tional conventions.
A few words by the high court
would wipe out the controversial
amendment, but such a decision
apparently Is not expected by
many lawyers who frequent the
court.
Thacher Confident
solicitor-General Thacher, who
prepared to state the Govern
ment's position, was said to be
confidence of success. 1t was
indicated he would not take the
full time allotted for argument.
But Seldom Bacon and julius
Henry Cochin, of New York, both
appearing voluntarily, we're to
occupy two hours Of the courts
time with their argument.
The brief of William H. Sprague
and William J. Howey, two New
Jersey farmers indicted for trans
porting beer, contained the names
Of many high-priced lawyers, all
serving voluntarily. 1t included:
Frederick M. P. Pearse, Daniel F.
Cohalan, Kenneth E. Dayton,
Leslie ]. Tompkins, George H.
Williams, the latter an ex-senator
from Missouri, and Burton A.
Eorn. Other briefs were filed as
friends of the court"
Solicitor General Thacher main
tains the high court disposed OF
the question in its original de-
cision; the opposing lawyers say II
has never been decided.
Say Law Never Adopted
The position of those attacking
The amendment is stated in the
brief as follows;
"As the Eighteenth Amend
ment has never been adopted
by the people, to whom alone
was reserved the power to
grant any such additional
powers over themselves or their
rights to the national govern
ment, Congress had no power
to enact or enforce the Statu-
tory provisions under which
this indictment is framed. The
provisions of the act on which
the indictment is predicated
are therefore unconstitutional"
Solicitor General Thacher con-
tends that under the constitution,
Congress could provide for rati-
fication of an amendment either
by legislatures or by State con-
ventions.

ITALY To BUILD
SOVIET FLEET

LONDON, Jan. 21.-Soviet Rus
sia will be assisted by Italy in
building new merchant fleet, ac-
Dording to news received in Lon
don shipping circles.
This is the result of the Italo-
Soviet understanding which Eu-
ropean statesmen have been
watching for some months past.
The agreement was the main
eopic in the discussions between
6ignor Grandi and M. Litvinoff
recently.
In the first instance, it is
understood, ships will be con-
structed to the order Of the So
Wet government in certain Ital-
ian yards. But Russian engineers
and workers will be sent to these
yards to be trained by Italian ex-
perts.

RELICS PRICED
BY LAWYER

PERU, Ind, Jan. 81 G.N.SO t.
In a dust-laden attic Of the court
house here may be found the
largest collection of pioneer han
dicraft in the country.
Proof of the foregoing may be
had by writing Hal Phelps, law
yer of this "circus city Of Amer
ica," who collected the relics.
Began in 1915
Mr.. Phelps collecting began as
a hobby, back in 1916. Now the
baby has developed into a civic
benefit.
Crowded together in four large
rooms of the musty attic, the han
dicraft consists of everything
from a spider" the purpose of
which might stump the modern
housewife, to a large assortment
of crude farm implements. One
room alone is entirely filled with
spinning wheels, hundreds of
them.
Would Cover Five Acres
Mr.. Phelps estimates that the
collections would cover five acres
of space if spread out.
When Mr.. Phelps began his col
lecting he stored the articles in
his office, but as they grew a
larger place was required. So he
appealed and was granted per
mission by city officials to use the
courthouse attic.
