League May Send
Observers to Ethiopia

GENEVA. Sept. 81 G.N.SJ.
Now constituted to act with trig.
ger action in the event war
breaks out in East Africa, the
League of Nations Council today
held its first meeting as COM
mittee of Is and approved "in
principle" Ethiopia's request that
a neutral commission be sent
down to watch 1talo.Ethiopian
borders.
The Committee of Thirteen
the council minus Italy as an
interested party-decided to con-
stitute a subcommittee Of three,
a Frenchman, an EngliShman,
and a Spaniard, to study the
feasibility of dispatching neutral
commissioners to Ethiopia's Dor
ders and other technical phases
Of the question.
On SelaSSie's Plea
Emperor Halle SelaSsie re-
quested the commission be sent
down at his own expense to de.
termine who is the aggressor in
the event hostilities break out
along the frontier.
The Negus was especially in
terested in preventing Italians
from provoking an incident Of
their own and then using it as
a pretext for a general invasion.
The council itself would name
the commission, should it be de.
cided upon. Salvador de NADIA
riaga, of Spain, who is chairman
of the Committee Of Five, was
named chairman of the Commit
tee of Thirteen and its reporter
to the council. Then the thirteen
adjourned until tomorrow.
The Council decided to cable
the NeguS tonight acknowledging
his assertion that Ethiopian
troops had been withdrawn 80
kilometerS from the frontier as
a peaceful gesture to avoid un-
toward incidents. The message
will state that the Council ap-
preciates the spirit which led to
this gesture, and that it receives
with serious attention the request
for the observers.
The Council decided to prom

Find Cause; Gables
All Gave Way

Launching an investigation into
the cause of the elevator crash
last night in building in the SOC
block Ninth st. N. w., in which
five women were injured, District
officials today were at loss to
understand the failure of the
safety device when the elevator
began to fall.
Two men from the elevator in
spection office were dispatched to
the scene early today in an effort
to determine the reason for the
break in four out of the six cables
on the elevator. The men were
E. E. Owens, assistant chief of the
office, and E. r. Rhea, elevator
inspector.
Inspected July ~
In a preliminary report, the
men said one of the shackles hold
ing the cables pulled out Of the
cross-head, which holds all the
cables.
Mr.. Owens also said that all the
cables on the elevator were new
and in good condition.
The elevator had been regularly
inspected, the last inspection being
on July %. Everything was found
to be in good working order.
In addition to the five women
who were hurt and sent to Elmer,
gency Hospital, other passengers
were severely shaken up and
bruised.
The accident occurred at 1890
following a meeting Of Ladies'

group OF men and women as the
elevator plunged when one of the
cables snapped.

United States regarding naval
treaties, while American circles
expressed belief the British gov.

ever, it was felt the decision had

The naval question will be dis
cused at the conference Of the
Conservative majority party in
October. when important state

pected.
The full program, however,
probably will not be disclosed be-

crystalize, the Signatories Of the

YOUR CONSTITUTION
Series of Short, Clear and Illuminating Articles
On the Constitution of the United States
By JOHN FRANCIS NEYLAN
ARTICLE 5
ARTICLE 5

In it's NRA decision the Supreme Court, in large
part only upheld the doctrine of States rights en-
bedded in the Constitution and eloquently pro-
claimed by President Roosevelt in 1880.
Immediately following the decision the President
indicated disappointment and determination to
have the Constitution amended
Foreseeing that amendment of the Charter
might be necessary, the trainers Of the Constitu-
ton provided the machinery.
Following the fourth article, in which provision
was made for the according of full faith and credit
by each State to the acts of sister States we find
the amending clause in Article V.
Under Article of the Constitution an amend
ment may be proposed by either two-thirds of both
houses of Congress or by convention called in
response to the application of the legislatures of
two-thirds of the States. When such proposed
amendment is ratified by three-fourths of the
States it becomes part of the Constitution ITSELF
Therefore the President and those who agree
with him can secure submission of any amendment
by the act of two-thirds of Congress by demands
from two-thirds of the States.
In this particular instance, of course any amend
ment to effectuate change in the decision of the
Supreme Court would involve practically the de-
struction of the States and the concentration in
Congress and the President of practically all power
over the economic life of the nation and the live-
hood Of its millions of wage-earners.
Such an amendment, of course, would revolu-
tionize the whole conception of the American re-
public, and it was to insure to the people an OPP
portunity to pass on any such amendment that
the founders wrote Article V as they did.
They were adamant in the position that any
