Assemblyman MacWhinney. a com mittee member present when O'Con nor made his statement to newspaper men, challenged the attorney to pro duce proof that the committee was acting in conjunction with any "or ganized propaganda eeheme to dis credit oriranlzed labor."

Kaste. local attor ney, can produce before Circuit Judg Grttens this morning legal authorities defining the status of an unborn an illegitimate child, his suit to recove S2u alleged due him from John Dan nells, former chief owner of a Port land laundry, probably will be thrown out of court. The judge yesterday said he was inclined so to rule. Alleged re lations between the defendant and Ruby Caldwell, a nurse, form the basis of sensational charges aired yes terday by the attorneys in opening the case. Chester Sheppard. counsel for the defense, -in turn, called Kaste "an unscrupulous blackmailer." A contract Introduced in the com plaint to show that Dannells. al though a married man. agreed to sup port Miss Caldwell and provide for her future in case she should become a mottier is invoivea. in explaining why he was requiring Kaste to estab lish what law provides for an unborn child. Judge Gatens said that if the clause in the contract may be con strued to provide for the future, it is against public policy to ' permit the case to be tried and that he could consider It only in the light of pro viding for a child as reparation for a wrong. Mr. Kaste. in his statement of the caie. told the Jury that be wiU pro- duce evidence to show that Dannells and Miss- Caldwell have been asso ciated with each other six years and that he has constantly made promises he would marry the young woman, and that she at first believed him un married. Later, Kaste said. Dannells promised to divorce his wife. In April, 1919, Kaste prepared the contract in question, in which Dan nells agreed to pay practically $70,000 for the support of the nurse and any children she should become the moth er of. Kaste alleges that the defend ant owes him $820 due on a note given in part payment for his services in making this arrangement. Mr. tSheppard said in behalf of Dn nells that he Is able to show that the laundryman has been trying to rid himself of Miss Caldwell and that he eventually signed the agreement when threatened in Kaste's office.

ROOT REPLIES TO COX (Contlnned From First Page.) necessary resolution, 'would simply be a breach of the treaty. Analogous Case Cited. "An analogous case is the power of congress to appropriate money. There is no other power in our government to do that. but. if the United States makes a treaty agreeing to pay million dollars to another country, would anyone say that the obliga Hon could be canceled by a refusal of congress to. appropriate the money Certainly not: the only effect would be that the United States would have broken faith. The real question is whether we shall enter into a guar antee-n which the faith of the treat ies will require congress to pasa resolution declaring war. That Is what the president proposed. That is what your telegram makes it clear von oropose. "On the same day when you sent the telegram, according to the press re ports, in a meeting at Providence some one in the audience asked you 'would you accept the Lodge reserva tions to the league of nations'? there was your opportunity. Among those reservations was one which said: " The United States assumes no ob ligation to preserve the territorial in tegrlty or political independence of any other country by the employment of Its military or naval forces, etc. unless In any particular case the con gress which under the constitution has the sole power to declare war or to authorize the employment of the mili tary or naval forces of the United States shall in the exercise of full iberty of action by act or joint reso lution so provide.' Reservation Allows Freedom. "That reservation would leave con gress free whenever the time came to act in accordance with its judgment and conscience, and the judgment and conscience of its constituents regard ing the merits of the controversy at that time. "Tour position as you now state It would leave congress bound by the solemn pledge of faith of our country to adopt the resolution for war, no matter what the merits of the con troversy might be. "If you did not mean that congress should be bound, you had an opportu nity at that meeting in Providence to say 'I agree to this reservation, or to this part of this reservation." Tour answer Is reported to have been: "The Lodge reservations never were se riously suggested. If they had been. Senator Lodge would have declared for them in the republican platform adopted at Chicago, and thus you sidestepped the question, and you state in your telegram to me the per fectly futile thing you are willing to do upon the subject of article 10. "Your telegram to me undertakes to state your case, and both what you say and what you refrain from say ing confirm the understanding I ex pressed in my speech that your posi tion and purpose are to impose upon the United States the covenant nego tiated at Paris without any real change whatever." WORLD COURT IS EXPLAINED Elthu Root Tells or Flans for In ternational Justice. NEW YORK, Oct. 21. Elihu Root, in aa address tonight before the bar association of this city, explained for the first time some of the accomplish ments of the international commission of which he is a member, toward per fecting plans for a permanent court of international justice. Mr. Root laid emphasis on the for ward step taken at the conference at The Hague this year, when a basis was laid for determining what inter national disagreements are truly jus ticiable, and means for insuring that such cases should come before an in ternational court with jurisdiction to settle them according to principles of law. The term "justiciable, as' ap plied to certain international differ ences, had been used only in a vague sense in the treaties for arbitration negotiated by President Taft, Mr. Root said, and it was one of the most seri ous problems of the commission on which he sat to define the term as applied to international law. The older system of The Hague tribunal,' he explained, functioned ritther along lines of diplomacy than or strict justice, and there was a ten dency to compromise rather than ad judicate disputes in accordance with principles of law and justice. This, Mr. Root said, was another feature which present plans eliminate in favor of a more strictly judicial procedure. He said the plans provide that the international court shall decide cases strictly according to law, letting the consequences take care of them' selves." Nations -with disputes to set tie, may under the league of nations, either "consent" through representa tives in the assembly to submitting differences to the court of arbitration or, lacking such consent, the ques tion automatically goes to the coun cil for settlement. Arbitration by the court, he said, )s to be obligatory on "all questions of strict legal right." This provision, he added, was Inserted in the plan in the exact words of the recommendation of the bar associa tion submitted to him before leaving for The Hague. The plan provides that the court shall have jurisdiction also in all cases of "interpretation of treaties or in considering the advantae-e and ffects of obligations over which the dispute in question arose." He ex plained that the court consisted of 11 udges and four alternate Judges, in cluding a chief judge. The judges are elected by the assembly of the league of nations from an eligible list recom mended to it by the several countries. It was provided that these recommen dations should be made on behalf of the different countries by the present delegations to The Hague tribunal. "When the assembly of the league of nations meets next month at Ge neva." Mr. Root concluded, "there may be such opposition to the obliga tory arbitration features of our plan tnat t'jey will strike them out." This, he said, he hoped would not be done, as these constitute "a step forward." 'Every advance shocks somebody," he said. "To attempt to go too far, too fast and all at once, almost al ways leads to failure." ' Obituary. The funeral of Rev. William A. M.

DRASTIC ACTION IS URGED Runners Will Attempt to Brtn; Supplies Into State, Is Dec laration of Official. SEATTLE, Wash.. Oct. 81. (Spe cial.) Action of British Columbia voters yesterday in repudiating their prohibition law opens a great and limitless "reservoir of liquor In Se attle's dooryard," ajid liquor will flow into the state of Washington in an endless stream onicss some drastic action is taken to forestall it. Donald A. McDonald, federal prohibition di rector for Washington, says. Fifty good automobile roads lead into Was-hington from British Colum bia, Director McDonald pointed out, and he has little more than a cor poral's squad of agents to stem the tide. " " Blow Declared Knockout. The "wet" vote' in British Columbia, Mr. McDonald said, was a knockout blow to his hopes for actual as well as official "bone dry" prohibition in Washington, and persons In his con fidence expressed the opinion that this action may result in the director's resignation. Millions of dollars will be garnered by liquor runners, under the new liquor regime in Canada, the director said, and stated that he be lieved the high prices and the market in Washington had strongly influ enced the British Columbia vote. "As a last hope, I am working now on possibility of getting a new- state 'dry law" enacted by the next legis lature. I pointed out the weakness of the state and federal acts in a letter yesterday to George D. Conger, superintendent of ' the anti-saloon league for western Washington."' VANCOUVER, B. C, Oct. 21.
