CONFERENCE SOON LIKELY Further Statement Making Clear Senator's Views on Problem Is Ei peeled Shortly. Hague court. And even If this part of the league of nations should fail it would be a simple matter to sum mon delegates from the big and little nations to the two bodies called for the specific purpose of taking: con current action in the selection of judges for the court of international justice. To your correspondent it has al-wa-s seemed that there is an unmis takable harmony between what Sena tor Harding has been saying: and what Mr. Root has been doing. There is unmistakable identity between features of the platform and Senator Harding's statements about extend ing the functions of the old Hague court of arbitration and on the other hand the deta'ls of what Mr. Root has actually been doing in Europe. SLAIN MM HAS S1 101 BODY FOCXP IX REAR OF GA RAGE AFTER ROBBERY. BY MARK SULLIVAN. (Copyrig-ht by the New York Kvenlnjc Poat, Jnc, Published by ArranKement.) NEW YORK. Sept. 23. (Special.) niihu Root is expected to arrive in New York on the steamer Rotterdam tomorrow. Considering the part Mr. Itoot had in writing the plank of the republican platform on the league of nations and the part he more recently had as an agent of the league in set ting up the new court of international justice. Mr. Root's return and what lis may have in his mind are matters of public importance. It is probably doubtful whether Mr. Root will give the contents of his mind to the public. Throughout 1-is stay in Europe he avoided interviews and even declined invitations to dinners at which public speeches were to be made. The only public address he made during his stay in IJurope was at the unveiling of the 1'incoln monument in England. Prob ably his motive in following this policy has been fear lest anything he should say might be used in the poli tical campaign in America either for offense or defense. I.eaffue to Meet Shortly. Mr. Itoot naturally would not want to see the international court 01 justice made a football in the Amer ican political campaign. It is be lieved, however, that soon after his return Mr. Root will confer with Senator Harding and that thereafter Mr. Harding will take a further step toward making fuller and more clear the Harding plan for American effort In the direction of permanent peace. In fact, it is inferred by those who have followed Senator Harding's utterances closely that if he should be elected he will be ready within a lew days after his election to name an unofficial commission composed of adequately equipped persons from both the republican and democratic parties to go to Europe and co-fer informally with the statesmen who are dominant in the league of na tions. There is to be a meeting of the league November 15. Comment Wide of Mark. Concerning the new court of inter national justice which Mr. Root, as the agent for the league of nations, has been dominant in forming, much of comment in American papers has been wide of the mark. Some of the more excitable repub lican papers have stated that since this court as an agency of the league of nations they will have none of it. It may safely be said that this ex treme irreconcilable attitude is not at all the attitude of those repub lican leaders who. are both more numerous as well as more thoughtful and more responsible. Mr. Root has apparently een care ful to build into the structure of his new international court of justice elements of permanence which would enable it to endure even if the league itself should fail. It would undoubt edly be incorrect to assume that Mr. Root shares that desire for the league to fail which in the present violence of a political campaign is found fre quently in the spirit of the utter ances of some republican leaders. Lrngoe Feature Approved. Of course you need only read that plank in the republican platform which Mr. Root wrote, as well as come of his previous public utter ances, to know that Mr. Root believes that the league has grave faults. But it can be inferred with equal confi dence from a close study of the structure of the court which Mr. Root has just set up that he believes cer tain parts of the league of nations are useful and ought to be preserved and can be preserved. There are two or three high spots In what Mr. Root has just done which have unmistakable significance. In the first place, Mr. Root revived and Bet on its feet the old Hague court of arbitration of 1897 and 1907. This Hague court is a different institu tion from the new court of inter national justice. American comment has frequently confused the two. The difference between a court of arbi tration and a court of justice is too i technical to go into here. It is suffi cient to say that the Hague court i. ! arbitration expired with the begin ning of the war. In 1914. and has not since opened its doors until M.. Root revived it and set it to functioning this summer. This thing Mr. Root did in what may be called his private capacity and not in his capacity as an agent for the league of nations. Two Court Are Merged. Having revived the old Hague court of arbitration. Mr. Root set about creating the new court of interna tional justice and the significant fact Is that he has tied the two courts together in a manner which has al most wholly escaped the attention of Americans. Mr. Root has provided that judges for the new international court of Justice shall be chosen by f.he following mechanism: In the first place, the members of the old Hague court will nominate a panel of judges for the new court of international justice. Out of this panel named by the old Hague court the council and the assembly of the league of nations will pick 15 men who will actually be the judges for the new court of international justice. The function of the league will be solely to pick 15 out of 30 or 40 originally nominated by the old Hague court. It is the old Hague court which surveys the world and nominates the original panel of judges. The league of nations is re stricted to picking 15 of the panel originally nominated by the old Hague court. Comment in America and particul arly the comment of the more vio lently irreconcilable republican news papers, has dwelt exclusively on the part that the council and the assem bly of the league of nations will have In selecting the judges of the new court. They have missed what is much more important, namely, the part the old Hague court has in nam ing the judges. The net of it is that even if the league of nations should not fare well, even If some of its more important functions should cease, even if nothing more remained of the league of nations than a mere formality under all these contingen cies, Mr. Root's new court of inter national Justice could go on. It could go on as an addition to the old Hague court. Leaae Functions Umfted. The only function of the league of lnations essential to the continuance of the new court would be a secre tary and an occasional meeting of the representatives of the big and little nations to select :5 Judges out of the -t panel originally nominated by the old Letters From Girl in Madras, Or., Bearing- Tubs of Kisses Found in Clothing. BLOOMING TON, 111.. Sept. 13. (Special. The village of Leland. northwest of here, has a- baffling murder mystery. The victim Is pre sumed to be George L Miller of 1851 Park avenue, Chicago. Several let ters so addressed were found in the pockets of the dead man. The body was discovered in the rear of a ga rage, which had been entered by buri glars, who took 1200 in loot. The unknown man, presumed to be a member of the band, apparently either was shot in a quarrel over the plunder or was killed accidentally. The victim had .been shot through the head and breast. An extraordi nary feature of the case was the diecovery of $1100 in currency and a gold watch in the man's pockets. Two abandoned automobiles were found in the afternoon after the shooting. The license record showed that the permit had been obtained by George L. Miller of Chicago, the same name as that found upon the letters in the dead man's pockets. If the dead man was really George L. Miller and the letters were writ ten to him. then he had an admirer in Madras. Jefferson county, Oregon. The writer signed her name as Stella Correll Winbigler Broghton. In one of the letters she said: "My dearest Bob: Yours of Septem ber 1 read and reread, the one that was no love letter, just a soul letter. Well, dear, it was all received so gratefully, just drank right in, as it were. . . . Did your wife get the divorce, or have you given up the idea? Bob. could we stay in Chicago as well as other places? No, dear. I did not make up the pink dress, and I do not intend to do so until you can see it. Why must we pun ish ourselves, when there is no use of it? Must close now. With lots of love and a tub of kieses, I am as ever, your STKLL."

MURDER BAFFLES POLICE (Continued From First Ftii.) ter what later romance claimed part o his later affections, Denton burled with his second wife and babe his sweetest hopes and most cherished dreams. There vrere memoranda also to in dicate that Denton entertained & friendly interest in his first wife, di vorced, now a resident oi .Missouri, and for a daughter by this marriage, Frances, 15, a resident of Phoenix, Ariz. It was through a letter from this daughter, received today by R, M. Blodgett, attorney, that Cody was en gaged to hunt for Denton. Dasehter Requests Search. The girl complained that she had not heard from her father for weeks and'asked that search be made. Cody and Blodgett went to the house and were informed by the tenants. Mrs. T. T. Miller and family,, that Denton had not been seen since they rented the house. There seemed to be no trace of him in the house, until Cody noted-a spade ful of earth upon the cellar floor and marked the dissimilarity between the walls of the partition that held the body and the rest of the woodwork and. broke the retaining walls. The dirt of the crude .grave came tumbling out and part of the body was revealed. Police Hope for Clew. The police were then called, the body ordered removed to the Garrett mortuary and the law began its sift ing of evidence and the piecing to gether of the broken threads, which, the officers hope, will lead eventually to the apprehension and punishment of the murderer. Denton's second wife was Dollie Mae Winters before her marriage to him. He is survived by two nephews F. C. Baxter, 1004 South Figueroa street, and P. R. Aument. 908 Wes Tenth street, and a brother in Excel sior Springs, Mo., in addition to his divorced wife and daughter. Before his disappearance he pre pared a will, in which he named Superior Court Judge Avery as exe cutor. LOS ANGELES, Cal.. Sept. 13. (Special.) Captain William (Dia mond Bill) Barrett. HiUsboro, Or., held in custody by detectives for more than 24 hours pending an inquiry into the supposed loss of $125,000 worth of jewels by Mrs. J. D. Spreckels Jr. in London and who was turned scot free late yesterday, was still in Los Angeles today. His release was effected when his attorney, H. D. Giesler, served notice on the detectives that habeas corpus proceedings would be started at 4 P. M. unless a formal warrant was issued or definite word confirming the report that Barrett was wanted there was received. From the state department at Washington it was learned that no request for extradi tion had come from England. The British consul's office here stated that no advices regarding the case had been received from England. It was then that Herman Cline, de tective sergeant who accompanied Barrett to the consul's office, released Barrett. "The case turned out exactly as I knew it would," declared Barrett im mediately after his release. "I knew I had done nothing to be afraid and for that reason took the matter as coolly as possible. I'm going to wash up and change clothing now and rest up." "Will you stay in Los Angeles?" he was asked. Press Receives Jab. "There is no reason why I shouldn't, except the notoriety this has brought on me. I intend to stay, unless 1 change my mind, for some time at least. The notoriety, of course, has been unpleasant. I've always noticed that when charges are brought against a man the newspapers have much to say. but when he is released you will find a little piece stuck away with the advertisements. What are your plans in regard to the case?" "I haven't thought much about that angle of it yet," he replied. "I would want to talk things over with my attorney before saying anything along that line." . Attorney Giesler is awaiting fur ther word from Barrett's solicitor. K. E. Edwards, who has been asked to explain the matters which led up to the first cabled report Tuesday that Captain Barrett was wanted in connection with the asserted jewel loss. Scotland Yard Silent. Other cables have been sent to Scotland Yard and to the London newspaper which published a state ment that a Warrant had been issued. No replies have been received. Late tonight neither denial nor affirmation of the first report had been received nere. "Captain Barrett agreed to the pro posal that he would 'permit a de tective to remain with him until word was received from London," said At torney Giesler. "However, I under stand the proposal was presented in such a manner and under such cir cumstances that it could not well have been refused. Of course it was technically an arrest, for it is not necessary to put a man in jail nor to lay hands on him to arrest him. I would have waited for word from London except to wait longer than this afternoon would delay the hearing in the proceedings until Mon day probably. For that reason I de cided to wait until 4 P. M. before I started the action. I had the papers drawn up and everything was ready in case the detectives had not released him or filed a warrant." Captain Barrett spent last night at the Clark hotel in custody with a de tective who later was relieved by an other. Friends of Captain Barrett invited him to stay in one of their eulte of rooms and he remained there. Notoriety Is H arretted. In his first statement for publica tion he expressed confidence that he would be released as soon as his Lon don solicitor was notified and could reply. He also said he regretted the whole affair because of himself and also the persons who are connected with him. In explaining his actions Tuesday preceding his arrest and which were regarded as suspicious at that time. Barrett said he merely was seeking to avoid newspaper men who he thought wanted to question him in regard to his family matters and his motion picture activities. Throughout the investigation Cap tain Barrett created a favorable im pression on the city, county and fed eral authorities who questioned him He seemed unperturbed and was will. ing to wait for communication with London authorities.

Anonymous Warning Sends Guards Rushing to Depots and Fed eral Buildings. NEW TORK. Sept. 23. After a week had passed without investigators being able to solve the mystery of the Wall-street explosion, they were presented today with another mys tery a package of dynamite in the Reid-avenue elevated station in Brooklyn. The package was found by police man, who soaked it in a bucket of water. At a laboratory it was said two pipe cleaners, impregnated with nitrate, were found when analysis was made. These pipe cleaners, it was said, could have served as fuses, but it had not been established whether either had been lighted. Authorities agreed that no percus sion caps had been found. Meanwhile detectives investigating the Wall-street explosion reported they had been able to identify the tag found near the horse attached to the death cart which Is believed to have been the center of the blast. This tag had been Issued in 1918 to a Brooklyn concern to .certify that one of its horses was not afflicted with glanders, but since then the horse has been sold three times. The name of the latest owner, if known, was not made public. New York and vicinity were sub jected to more bomb scares today.

The buggy, which drew up alongside the federal build ing, was found, however, to contain 12 bottles of whisky and not bombs. In Bogota, X.
