Colonel Thomas W. Symons'
Career Is Closed. -
Scandinavians Are Outvoted in
Opposition to Suggestion; V. S.
Proposals Awaited.
GENEVA, Nov. 23. (By the Asso
ciated Press.) There will be no
amendments to the covenant of the
league of nations at this session of
the assembly if the decision of com
mittee No. 1 that of general organl- I
zation which has been considering
amendments, is approved In full ses
sion. Arthur J. Balfour, chairman of -the
committee, suggested to the commit
tee that it was too early to draw
conclusions as to the working of the
league or to form an idea as to how
the covenant may be improved. He
proposed that the committee recom
mend the appointment of a special
committee to consider amendments
and report to the next assembly
meeting. 1
' -The Scandinavian delegates on the
committee insisted upon the consid
eration immediately of amendments
they proposed, but they were out
voted. SnirKeatltm la Accepted.
The South American delegates ac
cepted Mr. Balfour's suggestion all
the more readily, because they are of
the opinion that any amendment of
the covenant should await proposi
tions that are expected from the
United States after President-elect
Harding's consultations on the sub
ject. They declared it would be en
tirely out of order to review the
covenant in the absence of one of the
most Important nations of the world.
The committee on the interna
tional court decided to send a letter
of thanks and congratulations to
Klihu Root and other delegates to
The Hague conference. This is as
far as they have got In their work.
Antonio Huneus, head of the Chil
ean delegation and chairman of the
committee on admission of new mem
bers, told the Associated Press today
that his committee already was hard
at work and hoped to make an early
report.
Montenegro A ska Entrance.
"News of the application of Mon
tenegro," for membership in the
league of nations leaked out today.
No information whatever was given
on the subject by the secretariat of
-the league. This eleventh-hour appli
cation necessarily will come up on
the floor of the assembly before being
referred to committee.
The subject of Armenia was early
to the fore, the chairman announc
ing the make-up of the committee to
examine into the details of the even
tual intervention. The committee was
headed by Lord Robert Cecil of the
union of South Africa delegation,
who is a strong proponent of help
for Armenia and had on its member
ship list likewise Rene Vivian! of
France, whose plea yesterday swept
the assembly into unanimous ap
proval of the resolutions for action
on the subject! The other members
announced were Senator Henri La Fon
taine of Belgium; Dr. Fridjof Nan
sen of Norway; Honorio Purreydon
of Argentina and Signor Schanzl of
Italy.
The order of the day contained sev
eral resolutions of an apparently in
nocuous character promising no such
sensational interest as yesterday's
session developed. The possibility was
seen, however, that the faipure of the
council of the league to act last night
on the Vivian! resolution might pro
yoke another debate on Armenia and
raise the entire question of the re
lations .of the council and the assembly.
The respective powers of these
bodies is looming up as one of the
biggest questions before the as
embly. The clash on this subject
would naturally come In discussion
of the report of the organization
commission in regular course, but it
could easily be precipitated by refusal
of the council to carry out any
resolution of the assembly.
More Publicity la Aaked.
Delegate Millen of Australia, asked
that Germany's protest against the
league's method of apportioning
mandates for former German colonies,
submitted recently, be laid before the
assembly before being referred to a
committee. The question went over
until tomorrow.
Lord Robert Cecil demanded greater
publicity for the proceedings of the
council and a promise was made to
comply.
A resolution Introduced by Georee
Nlcoll Barnes of Great Britain asking
the council to explain why it failed
to Intervene and prevent hostilities
between Poland and soviet Russia
last summer went over to the next
ession.
AMERICANS PROTEST PliXS
Negotiations Over Armenia With
Kemal Are Not Wanted.
NEw YORK, Nov. 23. A protest
against the proposal of Rene Viviani,
France's spokesman at the league of
nations assembly meeting, that nego
tiations concerning Armenian affairs
be started with Mustapha Kemal, was
sent today to Paul Hymans, president
of the league, by the American com
mittee for Armenian independence.
The message declared that such
negotiations would be tantamount to
a recognition by the league of the
Turkish national leader's government.

His face lighted with pleasure when
he was told that the men in his gang

that they spoke highly of him.

said. "I did my best to get along with

SEARCH FOR SMALIi FUTILE
$50,000 Once Offered for Return
of Missing Man.
TORONTO, Ont., Nov. 23. The sud
den disappearance of Ambrose J.
Small, theatrical magnate, a year ago
and of his secretary, John Doughty,
was one of the most mystifying cases
in police annals. A world-wide search
for Small was instituted and a reward
of $50,000 for the return of the miss
ing man or his dead body was of
fered, but without success.
Small, who was the owner of a
number of playhouses in this city,
disposed of his interests last year,
receiving in part payment a check
for 31,000,000. The check was taken
to the bank and nothing more was
seen of Small. A few days later his
secretary also disappeared. It was re
ported a few days ago that ' he had
been seen in Portland, Or., and tha
an officer had gone to the coast city
in an effort to locate him.

statement made here today by Admiral
Hugh Rodman, commander-in-chief

While the practice of the American
vessels was outside the three-mil

was said. Mexicans took possession
of them and where American sailors
had no right to go to compel their

Military Forces Gradually Working
Toward Center of City In
Search for Leaders.
DUBLIN, Nov. 23. The vigorous ac
tivities of the authorities leave little
doubt that determined and concerted
efforts are being made .to round up
every republican suspected of being
active in outrages. The military
forces are tightening the coroon
about Dublin and gradually working
in toward the center, as was none
during the Easter rebellion of 1918.
It was believed a number of repub
lican leaders in the provinces, find
ing the pursuit too hot, had taken ref
uge in Dublin.
The total arrests to date were un
derstood to be huge, but the govern
ment refused to divulge the figures.
All Prison Are Fall.
Dublin castle authorities, however,
admit the prisons are so full that it
had become necessary to utilize tne
castle itself and that It was in a room
in the castle that Peter Clancy and
two others were shot yesterday.
In general life in Dublin is appar
ently unaffected. Street cars were
running today, nearly all shops were
open and theaters and amusement
houses were doing business.
Forces searching residences and
business places were accompanied by
armored cars, .which carried machine
guns. Men charged with attacking
a military patrol were court-martialed
at Marlborough-barracks today,
and warm tributes were paid by at
torneys on each side to the integrity
and fair play displayed by Captain
Bagally, one of the officers slain
Sunday.
Thirteenth Victim Is Dead.
The 13th death as a result of the
Croke Park shooting occurred today.
when an 11-year-old boy died of his
wounds. Only seven of the Croke
Park victims have as yet been iden
tified. .
The death roll in Dublin yesierday
totaled five persons. During the morn
ing pne. of the sentries at the castle
was attacked by armed men. The
esntry fired, killing three of the at
tacking party. Two other deaths oo
curred during the raids which were
carried out in the city throughout the
