GENEVA, Sept, 12. (By the Asso
ciated Press.) Members of the as
sembly of the league of nations gath
ered a half hour earlier this morning
in an effort to. finish debate on the
report of the secretariat of the council
of the league. It was hoped that the
discussion might be completed by to
morrow, so that the agenda might
be cleared for the election on Wednes
day of Judges of the international
court. .
The council of the league met and
heard the Poland and Lithuania dele
gations argue the contentions of their
respective countries regarding the dis
pute over the Vilna district, which is
claimed by both nations. '
The meeting of the assembly dele
gates this morning took on the as
pects of a national political convention
in the United States, the election of
judges of th international court be
ing a theme of universal interest.
Mack Heard About America.
The league heard much about the
United States and the conference at
Washington in connection with the
league work on disarmament and also
with reference to criticism ln America
on the work of the league.
A strong effort is being -made , In
certain league circles to push Profes
sor Roscoe Pound for election as judge
of the international court of Justice,
although many delegations have Indi
cated a preference for John Bassett
Moore. Professor Pound's advocates
are active but, despite the election
eering, Mr. Moore remained tonight
the candidate for the South American
delegation as well as a number of
Europeans, including France.
Leon Bourgeois of France declared
before the assembly that there was no
reason for the league to be alarmed
by the coming disarmament confer
ence at Washington.
The league respects national sen
timents," he said, "and recognizes
that those who are outside as well as
those who are inside the league have
the right to occupy themselves with
the great question of disarmament.
"It was not to. be expected," added
M Bourgeois, "that a country which
sent 2,000,000 men across the Atlantic
to fight for liberty would afterward
renounce a part in future affairs."
M. Bourgeois cited the presence In

This was announced today just as
a crowd of Jobless, seafaring men
were preparing to march from the

Governor Ritchie telephoned Police
Commissioner Galtrrer forbidding the

could not be tolerated, adding that
no man's services should be offered
in this state in a way which would
violate the self-respect of the Ameri

WOOL IMPORTS POSSIBLE
American Textile Concern Con
sldcring Low Costs Abroad. .
BOSTON, Sept, 12. The American
Woolen company may import manu
factured goods from Germany and
other European countries where costs
are lower than in the mills, here.
President William M. Wood, on his
return to hie desk today from a trip
to Europe, said he expected a re
port within a day or two covering
this possibility from Chester L. Dane,
president of the American Woolen
Products company, a subsidiary, who
has just completed an Independent
investigation Qf conditions abroad.
Should it be decided that such a
venture was a promising one, the
American Woolen Products company
would, so far as operations ln the
United States are concerned, change
from an exporting to an Importing
organization. It would also market

That This Nuptial Venture
Will Be Their Last.
BLACKET, Ky., Sept. 12. (Special.)
Love springs eternal in the human
breast, is a pharaphrase of an old say
ing, but it is proved by the fact that
J. M. Taylor, 65 years old, a wealthy
farmer of Letcher county, and Re
becca Brewer, 50, and comely as when
a girl, have just been married for the
third time; It became known today.
Taylor and Miss Brewer first mar
ried when she was a slip of a girl.
Tears of bliss followed. Then trouble
arose and they were divorced. They
tried single life for a time, found they
could not be made happy apart, each
made concessions and they were mar
ried again.
This romance went upon the rocks
in a couple of years. A second divorce
followed. After a time Taylor mar
ried another woman, who died after
a few years. His first and second
wife in one, was still at her mountain
home. The other day he called on
her, wooed her again, and a third
wedding was agreed upon. When the
bridegroom came to Blackey for the
license he said:
'I'll be good to Rebecca now. She
is the only woman for me and I guess
I ought to know."
The three-times bride of the same
man, with a firm set to her lips, com
mented:
There will be no more divorce suits
in this family."

Warden Maloney, However, Says
Fugitive Is Still on McNeil's
and Will Soon Be Taken.
Having been Installed as federal
prohibition director for Oregon yes
terday tha first thing Dr. Joseph A
Linvllle did was to request the resig
nation of three of the staff. Those
who were asked to resign were E. R.
Wolfe, F. B. Curry and Delazon C.
Smith. In their places Dr. Linvllle has
jf recommended the appointment of three
men, whose Identity he Is keeping
secret for the present.
The removal of Mr. Wolfe comes
somewhat as a surprise, for it has
been supposed that he was well en
nisfRITDP n,ICnni;ro I nee' trenched and had strong political

came that Dr. Linville was to have
the job of director, it was stated at
the time that Mr. Wolfe was to be re
tained. However, Dr. Linvllle ex
puined yesterday that he has a free
hand In making removals and recom
mending men to fill the vacancies. In
sofar as the Oregon senators are con
cerned and that the senators have not
undertaken to Indicate what changes
should be made In the office.
From time to time Dr. Linville eon
templates making changes. Instead of
making a clean sweep at once. He
wants new men to be familiar with
the workings of the office before
other shifts are made. Johnson Smith,
firet prohibition director In Oregon,
who has been succeeded by Dr. Lin
ville, extended every courtesy to the
new Incumbent and surrendered the
Job without one sigh of regret. Pio
neering in prohibition, enforcement
has not been a bed of roses.
The staff under Director Linvllle
consists of nine men, all of whom are
agents except Jesse E. Flanders, who
is chief of the field operations. This
force, Dr. Linville considers inade
quate for the amount of work to be
performed and a request for a larger
force has been made. The three
agents, who have been asked to re
sign, will be given a vacation after
which they need not return to the
Job.
Today Senator McNary and Senator
Stanfield are expected to arrive
Portland for a little conference. The
programme is for the senators to mee
with their selections for federal jobs
and have a heart-to-heart talk wit
the men. The senators will urgeerfl
ciency and, it is said, they will not
hamper their selections with recom
mendations as to subordinate pos

McNEIL'S ISLAND, Sept. 12. (Spe
cial.) That Roy Gardner. California
mail robber, who escaped from the
federal penitentiary here one week
ago today, has managed to get away
from the island, was Indicated today
by reports of the theft of a boat from
Mosquito island, midway between the
prison and the mainland ln Pitt
passage, which was noticed Saturday,
and the discovery of a "mystery
woman" who came to the island Sep
tember 4, the day before Gardner es
caped, and who has not been seen
since that time.
One Skiff Is Stole.
Indications that Gardner has left
the island were discovered by two
Tacomans, R. O. Mills, 1318 Vi Pacific
avenue, and Frank Peterson, 703
South L street.
Mills and Peterson are owners of
Mosquito island.
While on a timber cruising expedi
tion they visited Mosquito island and
found that their boathouse had bee
broken into and one of their two
skiffs, with a pair of oars, stolen
The theft was perpetrated some
time since Friday, a week ago, they
said, as both boats were there on that
date
They searched the mainland fo
some distance either way, but found
no trace of the missing skiff. Farm
ers thereabouts, they pointed out, do
not steal boats, every family having
one or more of its own.
Theft Laid to Gardner,
They jumped to the conclusion that
Gardner was the thief and that he
must have taken the boat last Mon
day night, following his sensatlona
escape from the penitentiary during
a ball game that afternoon.
Pitt passage is the narrowest strip
of water between McNeil's Island and
the mainland and Is the place Gard
ner would be expected to head for
if he Intended leaving the island that
night.
Excitement Is Blamed.
It is scarcely a quarter of a mile
from McNeil's island to Mosquito is
land and from Mosquito to the main
land about half that distance.
"These rumors are Just the result
of the excitement that Gardner has
escaped." Warden Maloney said to
night. People hear a chicken squawk
or an owl hoot and they think it's
Gardner. What If a boat was stolen?
There are plenty of people beside
Gardner who might steal a good boat
and it isn t customary to shadow
every woman who comes to the island,
so there's nothing mysterious In the
fact that no one has happened to no
tice one particular woman.1
Maloney's belief that Gardner is
cornered is founded on an exper
lence of William Anderson, a rowboat
guard, late last night. In petroling
the shore of the island he had noticed
on the beach a large piece of timber,
about Is feet long and ten inches
square.
Timber Declared Moved.
He bad use for the timber and de
cided he would take it home when
the opportunity presented Itself. Last
night he went ashore after it and
found that it had been moved close
to the water's, edge. He knew that
it had been several feet away when
he saw It the day before, so he made
the natural inference that Gardner
had been- trying to get it Into the
water so that he could use it to assist
him in swimming to Fox island, three
miles away.
This stretch of the beach Is directly
below a tall cliff, -which is heavily
wooded. As Anderson was examining
the timber he heard a rustling in
the brush and Instantly called "Halt!"
There was no answer and he fired
two shots, but apparently without ef
feet.
Man Hnnters Are Dispatched.
As soon as Anderson reported his
adventure. Warden Maloney dis
patched a strong body of man hunt
ers, who have been beating the brush
in the vicinity of Knox point, where
the shooting occurred, ever since.
For this reason it Is believed that
Gardner cannot have escaped from
the east end of the island.
Anderson is the same man who
fired two shots at a man whom he
believed to be Gardner at Camman
point, about a quarter of a mile from
Knox point, last week. O. G. Ander
son, his father, who lives near Knox
point, said his dog barked just be
fore last night's shooting.
