"I did nothing to earn the money.
I was not even given an opportunity

First Effort
To Interpret
Article X
Geneva, Nov. ' 22 -The first formal
effort to interpret Article "X" of the
League of Nations Covenant to clear
all doubts in the United States as to
the responsibility of member nations
was made by H. A. L. Fisher, of the
.British delegation at a secret meet
ing of the committee of applications
for membership, if was learned to
day. The real cbject of Mr. Fishe.r's
representations to the committee.
which is meeting in connection with
the League of Nations assembly, was
said to be the bringing into the
League of Nations the United States.
The British delegate proposed that
a sub-committee of the committee on
applications for membership, take
Article 10 under consideration in all
future discussions, recognizing, the
importance of the question in the
American presidential election.
Mr. Fisher's proposal and his de
clarations concerning the United
States were said to have been receiv
ed in dead silence by the other mem
bers of the committee on applications
for membership.
The delegates to the -League Assem
bly meeting were deeply interested in
press reports that the peace negotia
tions between Soviet Russia and Po
land have been halted at Riga. Ever
since the crushing defeat of General
Wrangel's army by the Russian Red
army in Crimea, it has been felt here
that the Soviet delegation at Riga
might change its attitude towards Po
land. George Nicholl Barnes, of the
British delegation, emphasized the im
portance of the question when he

It's a pretty expensive experiment
to tote a gun around with you these
days unless the police have given you
a permit authorizing you to do so. In
the City court this morning Judge
Frank L. Wilder further impressed
this particular part of the law on
two alleged "toters," fining the first
victim $100 and costs, and giving him
30 days in jail and tne second ac-J
cused was fined a entury note and
given 10 days in the North avenue
hotel. Patsy Alteri of 22 Lexington
avenue, the first arraigned, had a .22
calibre pistol on his hip when ar
rested. The fact that he was in Class
5 in the draft was against him for
any leniency. Judge Wilder has no
sympathy for the boys who escaped
military service in this class.
Frank Salvagio of 48 Charles
street, Stratford, the second man ar
raigned was a victim of peculiar cir
cumstances which resulted in his ar
rest. Officers from the Bureau of In

Deposed President of Guate
mala Sends Appeal to
President Wilson
Washirigton. Nov. 2 2 Manuel Es
trada Cabrera, -deposed and Imprison-!
ed president of Guatemala, has di
rected a personal appeal to President
Wilson to save him from a death,
which he. says, is as certain as though
he faced a firing squad.
Cabrera's apeal, written in secret
in his cell at Guatemala City and
smuggled past his guards by friends
at the risk of their lives, has reached
this country, according to prominent
Guatemala refugees, who arrived
here today from Puerto Barrios on
their way to New York.
It will be presented to President
Wilson through Secretary of State
Colby, whom its bearers will direct an
explanatory note containing their cre
dentials from the ex-president.
The communication says the refu
gees set forth that Cabrera relin
quished the presidency under an
agreement signed in the presence of
and approved by the diplomatic corps
at Guatemala City, providing that if
he would relinquish the- executive
power of the government of Carlos
Huerrera, the present president, with
out further fightipg and bloodshed,
he would be guaranteed absoiute
safety and freedom for himself, his
suite and protection for his property.
In spite of this solemn agreement,
according to the, Guatemalan ar
rivals, the ex-preilhent was impris
oned in a dungeon, his property seiz
ed, his suite arrested and his family
imprisoned and impoverished while
he is constantly badgered to reveal
to -ihis jailers the hiding place of
treasure which hes tates he does not
possess.

Benedict XV Will Support
Movemen t Against Divorce
Rome, Nov. 22. The tremendous
increase in divorces in the United
States is being viewed with deep ap
prehension by the Vatican. Monsig
nor Bonaventure Curreti, adviser to
Cardinal Gaspari, the Papal Secretary
of State, today characterized the
spread of divorce, not only in Amer
ica but elsewhere throughout, the
world, as "a wave which threatens to
submerge and destroy not only the
sanctity of famnly life, but the very
foundations of society."
Pope Benedict XV. is not contem
plating stny special measures at the
present time against the divorce evil,
but it was stated at the Vatican that
"any attempt in this direction, no
matter from what quarter it comes,
will receive the hearty support of the
Pontiff and his official family."
Rumors hav. been current that
Pope -Benedict would issue a world
wide appeal against divorce or take
some other measures to combat the
loosening of the marriage tie. Mon
signor Bonaventure Curreti, in discuss
ing this rumor, said: -

Remisals Succeed Killinsr
Gresham Hotel Police Had Armored Car and Ma

(By EARLE C. REEVES, International News Service Staff Correspondent)
London. Nov. 22 More than thirty persons were killed, including
14 army officers and Black and Tan policemen, and 70 were wounded in
the terrific outbreak of assassination and reprisal violence which ' marked
"Bloody Sunday" at Dublin, according to a Dublin dispatch to the Even
ing News today.
Later advices telling of further killings during the night Indicated that
the death list might exceed thirty.
A civilian was shot to death in Mount Joy Square at midnight while
on his' way home.
Two corpses were picked up in Merrion street. A dead man was found
in a hoiis? near Croke Park. He is believed to have been killed at the
park and carried into the house. .
A ministerial council was summoned during the morning to discuss the
latest Irish outbreak.
The situation Is more menacing than ever before and the Daily Mail
reports that the government is making hasty preparations to send heavy
troop reinforcements into Ireland. English officials express fears that
the campaign of assa'ssination may spread from Ireland to England.
There was intense military activity at Dublin throughout the night.

KING'S VISIT
DAMPER
IS
John T. King's visit , to the city
seems to have put a damper on the
ardor of the enemies of Mayor Wil
son in the local Republican party, in
their scheme to take away from the
mayor the power of appointing the
standing committees of the Board of
Aldermen.
King's attitude in the matter has
caused some of the astute politicians
to believe that the talk preceeding the
election that there had been a fall
ing out between the mayor and his
most formidable backer were simply
camouflage. '
The Aldermen will caucus tomor
row nigh and it seems to be con
ceded that Ralph T. Beers will be the
choice for president of the board and
that a resolution will be passed giving
Mayor Wilson the authority to ap
polnnt all standing committees.
It is said that a majority of the
members believe that such a resolu
tion should not be passed but the fail
ure of John T. to back up their deter
mination and his evident favoring of
the appointments being made by the
Mayor has left them without any in
centive or leader.
