DAWES To SIT.
IN LEAGUE Z
PARLEY
U. S. "0bserver" Has Part
in Secret Discussion OF
Far East Crisis

PARIS, Dec. s IN.S.).
For the first time since the
League of Nations Council be-
gan it's deliberations on the
Manchurian crisis here, Ambas-
sador Charles G.. Dawes will
sit in tonight at a secret meet
ing of the committee of IL
(the council minus the Japan
ese and Chinese representa-
tives).
Dawes requested permission to
attend the session. Previously
the American observer had held
aloof, remaining in his hotel
suite while the council met.
A scheme to overcome japanese
objection to establishment OF a
neutral zone in the Chinchow area
by vesting it with the military
title of mo Mans Land" was
worked out today by the council
committee drafting resolution
for settlement of the Manchurian
crisis.
The resolution will stress main
tenance of the status quo, with
Chinese and japanese military
forces being obliged to remain in
their present positions while q
commission of neutral observers
investigates the entire situation.
This juggling Of words, while it
may bring about japanese agree
ment to the resolution, did not
necessarily represent a victory. for
the Chinese, as the Japanese in
sistence upon the right to hunt
bandits in the zone will probably
take the form of a unilateral
declaration embodied in the reso-
luton.

They notified Father Cassidy,
who in turn called the police and
the coroner.
The body was lying face down
ward on the steps and, accord
ing to the detectives, sufficient
blood to have filled two buckets
was found near the body.
Callahan's right shoe was found
on the grass about 81 feet from
the stairway. The detective be-
lieves that Callahan in his dazed
condition either pulled the shoe
from his foot or dropped it in
the rush to re-enter the building.
Several of the priests and stu
dents at the university advanced
the theory that Callahan prob
ably had been attacked and
beaten by persons near the cam
pus. They believed the attack

Detective Springman, however,
said that from the information
he obtained and the position of
the body and the wounds that
the death was accidental and as
far as the police are concerned
is a closed matter.
Callahan lived in Little Falls,
l.. Y. and had written a letter
to his mother, Mrs. John Gala
han. early last evening. The let
ter had not been mailed, and
was just boys love letter to his
mother.
Callahan attended the Catholic
University on an honor scholar
ship. Members of the faculty
said he stood high in his classes.
Both members of the faculty
and students said Callahan was
most studious and was never
known to drink. He was not a
party man." they said, and was
not known to have any affairs
with women. All who knew the
young mans personal habits said
they never knew him to 60 out

part he sat motionless, silent.
Professor Kane stood up with

BARBOUR TAKES
SEAT AFTER
PROTEST.
Pittman Raises Question Of
Whether Governor Had
Right to Name Him

Senator Warren W. Barbour
(R.) of New Jersey was given
the oath of office today after
Senator Pit tman (D.) of
Nevada had raised an interest
ing constitutional issue, involv-
ing the right of the governor
of New Jersey to appoint him
to the vacancy caused by the
death of Dwight Morrow.
The Senate postponed a deci-
sion on a resolution sponsored by
Pittman, which would have de-
clared Senator becomes a men,
Der of the Senate at the begin
ming of the term" to which he is
elected and that his membership
is not dependent on presentation
of the certificate Of election or
the taking of the oath of office" !"
,Pittman argued that unless a
Senator "took office" the day his
elective term began-which was
March 4, 1881, in the case Of
Senator Dwight w. Morrow, Of
New Jersey-then the governor Of
New Jersey could not fill the va
cancy by appointment.
Long Also Affected
Pittman said he personally felt
Barbour should be sworn in, but
insisted the Senate should rule
on the matter.
The issue also affects Louisi-
ana, where Gov. Huey P. Long
has just won a Federal district
court decision declaring him not
yet a Senator. Long has refused
to quit his governorship to begin
his Senatorial term until April.
Resolution Offered
Pittman offered a resolution
declaring "a United States Sen
ator, duly elected to that office,
becomes a member on the begin
ming of the term of office to
which he was elected" and that
membership is not dependent on
his presentation of the certificate
of election or the taking of the
oath Of office"
Adoption Of this resolution
would mean Long is now mem
Der of the Senate in the Senate's
view and not entitled to continue
in office as Governor of Louisiana.
The Nevadan said he believed
Morrow was member of the
Senate when he died, following
his election to the long term, be-
ginning last March 4, but before
he could take his new oath of Of
flee. Under his theory, Barbour
was legally appointed by the New
Jersey governor and is entitled to
be sworn into office.
BOrah Blocks Vote
Senator Borah (R.) of Idaho
blocked an immediate vote on the
resolution by asking Pittman
whether any Senate committee
had acted on it. Pittman said
the resolution was without COM
mittee approval and started to de-
fend it.
