LEAGUE ASSEMBLY
El
Date of Economic Blockade
. Mot to Be Fixed Now.
BOLIVIA SENDS MESSAGE
Eouth American Republic Sot to
Press Revision of Treaty
With Chile.
GENEVA, Sept. J7. The league of
nations anxembly today reserved de
cision on the point aa to whether the
leairue council shall fix the date to
apply the economio blockade aa a
weapon against nations breaking; the
covenant or merely to recommend the
date when the blockade shall be ap
plied. The assembly adopted an in
terpretative resolution of the block
ade committee, which substantially
la as follows:
"The unilateral action of a defaulting-
state cannot create a state of war.
It merely entitles other members of
the league to resort to acts of war,
DT to declare themselves in a Stat
of war with the covenant-breaking
state. It Is the duty of each member
of the league to decide for Itself
wkether a breach of the covenant has
keen committed." '
Instructions were received by the
Bolivian delegation today from the
La 1'u government, directing; that
the demand for the assembly of the
league to consider the revision of the
treaty of 1904 between Bolivia and
Chile -should not be pressed further.
-The Bolivian government, however,
reserves the right to bring the mat
ter before the assembly again.
Debate on phases of the economio
blockade 'as a weapon against na
tions which violate the covenant of
' the league of nations, was resumed
' today.
At the opening of today's session
President Van Karnebeek announced
that Cuba had ratified the statutes of
the International court of justice.
Lord Robert Cecil, representing the
"union of South Africa, warned the
assembly against the danger the
league ran of earning the name of a
fsuper-state" If It tried to make Its
' rules for the use of the blockade too
, Imperative to Its members. For that
reason, he opposed the amendment
giving the council of the league
power to fix the absolute date upon
which the blocked, would be ap
plied. RELIGION MELTS GRIMNESS

(Special.) While the government

Gardner's abneal for "ii,t

was reported that the president had
referred the appeal to tha d ena rtm.nt

With definite knowledu-. tnr th

From the Canadian line to the Mex

to federal and postoffice sleuths that
the California mail bandit Is on the
roads again, and that the old game
of hide and seek at which Gardner Is

me trail was opened yesterday
when George L. North, assistant man

Bulletin, who obtained Gardner's life
story a) the federal penitentiary at
McNeil's island a few days after the
bandit was captured in Centralla and
sent on to the prison to start serving
two terms of 25 years each for high
way robbery, received two letters
from Gardner, one giving a thrilling
story of his escape from the prison
grounds on Labor day, and the other
Inclosed for forwarding a telee-ram
asking executive clemeney of -President
Harding.
Since Gardner made hta dash from
the prison compound the authorities
nave been patiently waiting for
something definite. The letters re
ceived at the Bulletin office yester
day offered the first clew -In that
direction.. Outside of fixing In their
minds the fact that Gardner was suc
cessful In eluding the patrol around

land, the letters have given the au
thorities practically nothing to go on.
Both letters have been turned over
to the federal and poatofflce au

story was printed, and today they are
making a careful study of the letters
and attempting to find some clew di

IRISH PESSIMISTIC
OVERNEGOTIATIONS
Lloyd George Suspected of
Playing Politics.
ULSTER CHIEF OBSTACLE
Premier Thought Trying to Prevent
Conference Rather Than Co
erce Orange Province.
(Copyright by the New fork World. Pub
lished by Arrangement.)
DUBLIN, Sept. 21. (Special Cable.)
Ireland does not echo the optimism
apparently felt by British newspapers
about the prospects of the Irish nego
tiations, for It is thought the present
situation Is the result of a desire
on the part of Premier Lloyd George
t prevent the conference rather than
see It broken up bv the refusal of
UWer to yield.
Failure of the conference to mate
rialise would make him stronger In
an election than If peace hopes were
shattered by the failure of the crown
government to exert efficient pres
sure on the Orangemen.
In these circumstances the most
that la hoped by many here Is that
the truce will not be broken through
the unwlllingnes of either side to
take the responsibility for a formal
repudiation.
Both Sides Preparing.
But in British and republican cir
cles equally one finds a note of
preparation. Plans contingent on the
resumption of active warfare are be
ing quietly made, although it is gen
erally supposed both sides know the
purpose of the other. Rumors of this
nature behind the scene of activity
are considerably disturbing the pop
ular mind, which appears only half
to appreciate what Is Involved.
The prevailing depression arises
more from a realization of the dan
gers of making the Irish situation
the subject of political chess play
than from any knowledge of the facts.
Information circulated in Inner cir
cles, bipwever, glvea a deeper sig
nificance and a more sinister aspect
to the staged game. Peace-wrecking
ir.fluencea are exercising pressure on
Mr. Lloyd George. The Ulster stone
walling ' has given these wreckers
their real strength, for despite all
confident prophesies that peace would
be certain at a conference. It is de
clared that peace, even in the con
ference, would be Impossible If Ulster
Insisted on retaining Its present posi
tion. This the crown cabinet has
decided under pressure would be the
case.
Lloyd George Suspected. '-
Faced with this. Premier Lloyd
George Is prepared, under the pres
sure mentioned, to make the confer
ence Impossible on the point of pre
liminary allegiance to the Britten
crown. That, as has been said, as
sures electoral support at borne that
a breakdown In a later stage would
not. His forthcoming reply to Mr.
De Valera and his colleagues Is ex
pected to cover this point with the
prime minister's usual skill.
Shrewd observers here, nowever.
are confident the Sinn Fein leaders
will refuse to allow themselves to be
maneuvered Into thla false position
when the net is spread before their
eveB-
Meanwhile one hears wntspers or
plans regarding presa correspondents
In the event of the resumption -of
hostilities. One story has It that all
foreign correspondents will be re
moved from Ireland and a strict cen
sorship established. Another says the
writers ' will be required to attacn
themselves definitely 'to the British
army with all the privileges of war
correspondents or take the alterna
tive risks. The plans of the Sinn
Fein in this connection, if any. are
unknown.
PARK PLANS FORMING
Tourist Camp Ground Arrange
ments to Be Made Soon.
ABERDEEN, Wash., Sept. 27.
(Special.) Definite plans for con
structlon of a tourist park here will
be taken up at a meeting of stock
holders of the Aberdeen Tourists'
Camp association to be called as soon
as. the remaining two-thirds of the
100 shares of stock have been sub
scribed, James A. Hood, founder of
the movement, announced yesterday.
The Aberdeen chamber of com
merce has Indorsed the movement and
has appointed a committee composed
of S. K. Bowes, J. J. Kaufman and
W. O. McCaw to assist the financing
of the project. The park will be on
West Fifth street, off Division.
CARMEN FEAR JITNEYS
Traction Employes of Taeoma Ask
Busses Be Kept Block Away.
TACOMA, Wash., Sept 27. (Spe
cial.) Members of the street car
men's union of Tacoma asked the city
council in a petition today to amend
the city ordinances so as to compel
jitneys operating in the city to op
erate on streets at least a block away
from car lines. The matter was re
ferred to the city attorney.
Jitney competition, allege the street
car men In their petition, means an
ultimate loas to the street car com
pany and a subsequent reduction in
present wages, obtained after a long
struggle.
. The busses are operated for the
most part they say, by Seattle men.
CHINESE HATE JAPANESE
( Continued From Fhut Paye.)
British, government had lent to the
Pekln government for training pur
poses. Peculation Is Rife.
To be a Tuchun In China these days
carries opportunities to "squeexe,"
which in the vernacular of New York
was once described as "graft," not to
be overlooked. Very few of the great
mandarins who exercise the functions
and personal prerogatives of Tuchuns
have possessed sufficient moral Integ
rity to resist the temptation to make
"easy money." In the promotion of
these ventures Japan, credited with
ambitions for supreme sovereignty in
the far east, has contributed a large
share.
By setting one Tuchun against the
other she has not only divided the
Chinese people as a whole and spilt

them up into warring groups but has
extended the sphere of her military
influence by invoking the latter in
disputea like those that have torn
Russia asunder. By withdrawing her
conaent to the financial consortium,
promoted by the United States and
Great Britain. Japan has prevented
the organisation of fabulously rich
China on a solid business basis. This
she did by asserting her "special
rights" over the control of railways
In Manchuria promoted by Japanese
capital.
Friendly Meves Balked.
Every move made by friendly na
tions remote from China to stabilise
conditlona In that misgoverned coun
try has been balked by the mikado's
government, at least that la the be
lief which prevails generally through
out the world.
The most recent development In
this line to add to the long roll of
similar achievements is Shantung,
though it Is not the only one by any
meansv It la most important, merely
because the situation there calls for
the exercise of the simplest form of
diplomacy and International Integrity.
Japan is credited with wanting to
hold on to one of the rlcheat regions
of China which Germany wrung from
that country in settlement of a fake
claim.
Shantans; Held Illegally.
Japan seised upon the opportunity
provided by the war between the cen
tral powers of Europe and the allied
and associated yovernments to win
by military conquest the territory
which Germany had illegally seized.
Japan proceeded Immediately to not
only take, over all the German prop
erties but moved at once to confiscate
them to her own use. When the rest
of the world recognized the justice of
the claim of China to Shantung it
called the attention of Japan to her
manifest duty.
The mikado's government expressed
Its willingness to return, to China that
which belonged to it. This was more
than two years ago. Up to date Japan
has not returned Shantung to China.
She - has offered to negotiate with
China the conditions under which it
will be returned. China,- presumably
on the advice of capable International
counsellers, has replied that there is
nothing to negotiate. She has merely
Insisted that Japan withdraw her mill-
wry forces and her administrative
agenta and her subjects who are ex
ploiting to their own advantage the
resources of Shantung.
v Trade Monopoly Sonant.
The fact that the Pekln govern
ment has not ventured upon more de
cisive steps to compel Japan to keep
her word and perform her solemn duty
has given rise to the suspicion that
the Japanese general staff and its
agents are putting the screws on offi
cials of the Chinese government whose
function It is to move In the matter.
In the meantime Japan la making the
most of the advantage afforded her
for Japanning Shantung and laying
the foundation for supreme economic
control. Some of the most influential
business concerns In Japan have taken
over valuable properties in Tslngtau,
and are establishing branches of Jap
anese houses for obtaining the best
part of the trade in the Shantung
peninsula.
