ment, but It developed into a
rapid.fire exchange of views be-
tween the two Far Eastern dele
gates, delivered in an atmosphere
Of utmost tension.
With the, delegates listening
to the bitter debate, the oppos-
ing Spokesmen seemed to make
no progress in bringing an end
to the conflict that threatens to
precipitate a Far Eastern war.
Action Deferred
The council adjourned tonight
without any indication Of its
probable course of action. No
definite date was set for the next
meeting, but it is believed the
council will sit again tomorrow
or Thursday.
Under the chairmanShip of For.
eign Minister Aristide BRAND,
veteran French statesman, the
extraordinary session was held.
DR.. SEE said the whole cause of
disarmament is doomed unless the
League of Nations and the sigma
tories to the Kellogg pact solve
the crisis before the armies Of the
Far East clash on the field OF
battle.
League Fate at Stake
The opinion among many OBJ.
servers at Geneva that the fate
of the League hinges on the out.
come of the deliberations was
strengthened by two factors.
One was the presence at the
council table Of an American
Prentiss Gilbert, in the role OF
unofficial observer. The other
was the fact that prior to his
arrival in Geneva, M. BRAND had
put his faculties to work and
evolved a plan to submit to the
SinO-JapaneSe delegates as q pos
sible solution to the problem.
DR.. Sze, in his plea for inter
vention, said:
"The Kellogg pact and the
League of Nations covenant are
the cOrnerStOnes of q worldwide
edifice Of peace. If the corner
stone crumbles, the whole edifiCe

China that the Kellogg pact
should fail when put to its first

PIN z KILLINGS
ON NJ 'ERLANE

CHICAGO, Oct. 13 UN.sO.
Frank McErlane, the hunted
gangster, was today pictured by
police as the avenging slayer
Of his wife and the man to whom
she revealed her husbands under
world secrets.
Lieut.. Edward Weber said today
McErlane is now being sought
not only for the brutal murder
Of his wife, Marion Miller Nc
Erlane, but also for the execu.
ton of James Quigley, his former
partner and subsequent rival in
the beer racket.
McErlane was believed jealous
of his wife and Quigley.
This new evidence is based
largely on the story Of Mrs.
Martha Hanson, who witnessed
the assassination of Quigley and
the burning of an automobile
later identified as McErlane's
car.
Quigley's body was found in a
drainage canal near Mrs. Han
sons home.

CANNON INSISTS
/. JURY SHOULD
: HEAR Him
Would Waive Immunity, Says
Bishop, Who AssaiIs Rover,
Tinkham As Pro-CathoIic

With Bishop James Cannon "in-
siSting" on being called to testify
before the Grand Jury irvestiga-
ting his political activities the
cannon case entered a new stage
today.
The Virginia bishop declared
ne had written to u. S. District
Attorney Leo A. Rover three times
asking that he and three others
be called as witnesses before the
Grand Jury, and offering to waive
the immunity from prosecution
which testifying before a Grand
Judy creates.
Rover called only one of
these witnesses and flatTy re-
fused to recommend that I be
called" the bishop complained.
Religious Slant Hinted
His religious antipathies were
again expressed in his reference
to District Attorney Rover as "a
Republican Roman Catholic, I"
and said that Representative
Tinkham, from a Roman Catho-
lie district in Boston," started
the probe into his financial.po
Htical affairs. He added:
Rome, whether accidentally
or otherwise, has been allied
with the vindictive Senator
Glass for the past three years."
Assistant District Attorney
John j. Wilson, in charge Of the
Cannon case, said regarding Can.
mons plea to testify:
"Inasmuch as the Grand Jury
has not yet returned a report
on this matter, we have no com.
ment to make"
Glass Charges Ignored
The militant bishop ignored
charges raised yesterday by Sen
ator Carter Glass D0 Of Vir-
ginia, that Harry L. Goldhurst,
Cannon's broker, sentenced for
bucketshop operations, was given
preferential treatment and later
granted a parole because Of the
bishops influence.
The Department Of Justice,
however, has informed Senator
Glass that it is investigating the
Senator's story by order Of At
torney General William D.
Mitchell.

STATES HIS
PROGRAM
Tariff Cut, Arms Slash, and
Tax Boost Among Proposals;
!. Wants clubbing Stopped
BY ROBERT S. ALLEN

A direct Federal appropriation
for unemployment relief will be
sponsored by him at the Decem-
Der session Of Congress, Senator
Costigan CD Colorado, an
nounced today.
In addition to this measure
for immediate aid to the needy,
Costigan has formulated a COM
prehensive program of economic
and political reforms which he
will lay before the progressive
bloc and invite their backing.
The former chairman Of the
United States Tariff Commission,
whose election was one Of the
major administration setbacks
last year, is now en- route to the
Capital from his Denver home
to take up his legislative duties.
He made known his plans
through his office here.
Prosperity Program
Costigan's prosperity program"
calls for the following:
Reduction Of excessive tariff
duties.
Drastic reduction Of military
and naval expenditures.
Higher Federal taxes on ex-
cess profits.
Increased levies on incomes
In the higher brackets.
Stronger Federal control Of
transportation and cOmmunica-
tiOns.
Government operation as
power plants Of Muscle Shoals
and Boulder Dam.
Use Of the farm boards sur
plus holding in wheat and cot
ton to relieve distress.
Direct presidential primaries
and direct presidential elec.
tiOns.
Leans To PrOgressives
Although nominally a Demo-
crat, CoStigan is closely affiliated
with the Progressives and partici-
pated in their economic confer
ence last spring. He favors a
similar gathering before Congress
convenes If a program that could
be considered is agreed upon.
The greatest need Of the mo-
ment, Costigan holds, is provision
for the needy this coming winter.
He said:
'.Direct relief for dire need.
should be voted without hesita-
tiOn or quibbling. Theoretical
distinctions between economic
depressiOnS and natural calarn-
titles and between dOles and
charity should be swept aside.

BY Frankness> of Speech

NEW YORK, Oct. 13 0.N.SO.
Medicine learned from a
monk to use antimOny, from q
Jesuit how to cure ague, from
a friar how to cut stone, from
q postmaster how to sound the
eustachian tube, and from a
dairy maid how to prevent
smallpox"
That quotation from a medical
historian, flung at members of
the American College Of Surgeons
last night by their new president,
DR.. Allen B. Kanavel, of Chicago,
caused much discussion at the
colleges clinical congress today.
Hits Medical Smugness
DR.. Kanavel used the quotation
as a text for his inaugural ad.
dress, in which he attacked the
arrogant guild fundamentalism"
Of many modern physicians and
surgeons.
His denunciation of medical
smugnesS, conservatism, and COM
placent superiority followed a
farewell address by DR.. c. jeff
Miller, outgoing president, in
which the latter attacked most
lay critics of the medical profes-
sion as ignoramuses without
principle or dignity.
DR.. Miller also warned against
socialized medicine, using Russia
as illustration. He said, too, pub
lie and municipal hospitals in
this country were filled with
medico-political appointees whose
ability is frequently negligible
and whose ethics are frequently
doubtful"
DR.. Kanavel made a spirited
plea for professional tolerance OF
the group and contract practice
of medicine by reputable physi"
clans.
