Court Won't Admit
Tear Gas Gun Is
"A Deadly Weapon

Law Was Written,
Says Judge.

The question of whether tear gas
gun is deadly weapon" came up for
decision today before Judge Ralph Given
in Police Court-but the iurist declined
to decide and continued the case tc
look up an authority.
The case was that of James Shartzer
%, of the 1900 block of Seventh street
who was arrested yesterday and charged
with intoxication. In his pocket, Tenth
Precinct Policemen H. G. Mehill and
G.. G. Maghan found a tear gas gun
They added the charge carrying 9
concealed weapon
In Police Court today, Judge Given
declared a teargas gun could not be
construed as deadly under the present
code. inasmuch as tear gas had never
been heard Of when the law was writ
ten. Assistant United States Attorneys
Michael F. Keogh and Julian Richards
insisted the District Supreme Court
had ruled such weapons deadly and
therefore those who carried them could
be prosecuted for carrying concealed
weapons"
Nevertheless, Judge Given refused to
prosecute and continued Shartzer's case
until tomorrow, pending submission by

to washington on the debts, Premier
Herriot said today. The memorandum
will be similar to that which England
is preparing, but it will not attempt to
fix this country's final attitude.
In its present tentative form the COM
munication presents additional reasons
why the $4,000, 900 interest installment
due from France December IS should
be postponed and why the Hoover mora
torium on all intergovernmental opera
tions should be prolonged
The premier spent some time this
morning with Norman Davis, America s
disarmament representative, but they
did not talk about the debts
M. Herriot explained that until the
governments have reached an under
standing about the debts he probably
will not be able to go back to Geneva
for resumption of the Disarmament
Conferences. AS Mr.. Davis left the
foreign office he told reporters that any
question of money never can affect the
friendship between France and the
United States.
He left with M. Herriot a memoran-
dunn outlinging the disarmament stiua-
ton with references to the German at
titude and to the conditions under
which Germany might be induced to
return to the ArnAs Conference. Be-

DRIVE LAUNCHED
ON CHILD LABOR
Committee Would Vacate g.
100000 Jobs for Men and
Send Young to School.
BY the Associated Press

By the Associated Press
NEW YORK, November 27-A wide
spread campaign to remove more than
100000 children from employment by
putting them back into schools so that
"jobs may be given the 10 to II million
adults" now in desperate need of
work" was announced yesterday by the
National Child Labor Committee.
The committee released a statement
carrying the signatures of DR.. Mary E.
Woolley, president of Mount Holyoke
College and delegate to the Geneva
Disarmament Conference; Senator Ar
thur Capper of Kansas, the Rev. S.
Parkes Cadman, William Allen White
and William Green, president of the
American Federation Of Labor, among
others.
100000 Out Of School.
"Over 100000 children from 7 to
II years of age are out of school, and
over 100000 boys and girls of this age
are gainfully employed, while from 10
to II million adults are in desperate
need of work." the statement said.
II order is to replace chaos In our
economic life, it is Of the highest i'm
portance that our children OF today
should have the right preparation to
take their part tomorrow in the life.
labor and politics of their time. More,
rather than less, schooling is requisite
not only as an immediate relief for
the overcrowded labor market, but as
an aid in preparing young people to
qualify for types of work that are
more than footless routine when times
are better.
Instead, school terms are being
drastically shortened and teaching forces
curtailed; attendance work is being re-
duced, or even cut of; vocational train
ing and guidance programs are being
suspended and buildings essential to
house increasing school populations are
remaining unbuilt.
All Prepared for Future.
"The consequence is that, in spite Of
reported increases in enrolment in
high schools and vocation schools where
available, children who should remain
In school and receive further training
for future and larger responsibilities are
pouring out of school ill-prepared for
worthwhile jobs. They are crowding
into an already congested labor market
and making it even more difficult for
adults to secure work
This situation Is a menace to our
national wellbeing. In view of its
seriousness, we earnestly appeal to
leaders everywhere to join in pressing
toward the removal from industry of
children below 16; higher age for
school leaving; promotion of educational
standards, and vigorous defense of the
schools against unwarranted or in
judicious use of funds"

upon the commercial treaty between

Reply to 'Tnvitation.s
It was pointed out, however, that
these opposition groups of Parliament
would not necessarily be invited to sug

question of payment or refusal to pay
These questions, in fact, are auto

further facts and an exhaustive study
Of the subject.
This view was applied by the govern

President H0Oyer'S statement on Jne
war debts just before it. Both conf
munications said no facts had been
presented by debtors opening the way
to revision Of congressional policy.
The Times editorially said of the new
note
Its purpose is to set forth the rea-
sons why suspension (of payment) Is
held here to be the vital interest of the

In effect the editorial went on to say
the document would not be addressed
to the administration or to Americans
who have seriously studied the situa-
ton, since these are already familiar
enaugh with the question.
But the note, the paper added, will
be addressed to the Congress and the

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, November 2e.-Harrv auv
Taylor OF Washington, D. c., was se-
lected today as commissioner for ths
Western railroads.
Announcement OF the choice was
made by Carl Gray, president Of the
Union Pacific Railroad. Taylor was
manager Of public relations for the car
service division OF the American Rail-
way Association.
Taylor is 50 years old. a native Of

was chairman of the Central and West
ern Shippers Advisory Board. Five

Follows Rail Agreement.
Taylor's appointment to the impor.
tant task followed an agreement exc
cuted by the various Western railways
to seek a coordination Of traffic prob
lens to the end of efficiency, economy
and harmony
He will have no power to enforce his
rulings, and he will initiate no action.
The railways, when engaged in contro-
versy, may call upon Taylor to give his
ruling, and the committee which chose

pecially a man without bias and with
out any railroad connection.
His principal duties will be to help
the lines west of Chicago, st. Louis
and the Mississippi River to coordinate
schedules and rates.
The committee frowned upon clubbing
the commissioner a "cZar."
Attention is especially called" the
announcement said. ito the unfortunate
appellation of 'czar, which has been
used frequently while the plan was
under consideration. Such a position
as this title implies is manifestly i'm
possible in the railroad field No rail-
road management can legally or morally
diyeSt itself of ultimate freedom of ac-
ton, or is this contemplated"
Will Lack Bias.
The commissioner, being in neutral
capacity, "can and will bring into each
situation consideration divested of In
dividual bias" and dispose of each prob
lem in manner fair to all parties and
public alike, the committee asserted.
The committee making the appoint
ment comprised Mr.. Gray, chairman;
Ralph Budd, president of the Burling-
ton Railroad; Charles Donnelly, presi-
dent of the Northern Pacific; Fred w.
Sargent, president of the Chicago &
Northwestern; H. A. Scandrett, prssi-
dent OF the Milwaukee road, and L. w.
