WORLD LEAGUE MEETS; FACES BIG PROBLEMS V . - : Continued From Pat One) structure with seats set aside for spec tators and the press. All were filled to overflowing long before the historic ses sion opened. Outside the building the picturesquely uniformed Swiss gend armes held back the great crowd of sightseers who cheered loudly as motor cars raced up depositing diplomats from the various countries. There wae a loud buss of conversation in the room with groups of representatives of the vari ous powers gathered, in earnest conver sation. The BUbdued huniOf their talk did not subside until the gavel of the temporary chal.man fell sharply upon his desk. . SPEAKS FOB SWITZERLAND I ' President Motta of the Swiss Federa tion had welcomed the delegates In be half of Switzerland In an appropriate little speech, lie said it was a happy idea for the League of Nations to begin Its real labor on the shores of the quiet Swiss lake country where peace held sway even while the flames of war were raging over Europe. The meeting of the council of the League of Nations on Sunday lasted barely an hour when a committee ex amined the credentials of delegates. Following luncheon, when the dele gates were guests' of the Swiss Federal council, the Leairue of Nations' council heard the reading- of the order of the day for the assembly meetlngA - The delegates were seated Alphabet ical order and a place was reserved for the Americans despite the fact that the United States Is not a member of the league. V SOUTH AFRICA COMES FIR&J Reservations were made according to the French spelling of the various na tions. Thus "'Afrique Sud," represented by Lord Robert Cecil, has the honor of the first row of seats to the right ef M. Hymans. Argentine was allotted to apace next to "Afrlque Sud; If the ' IK 'A "ROSES OF DAIRY TRADE" ' Ten V" , "'.. "Si l ' ftf ;': ff f -' ' . it L a 'fssmesWHSsiii HiiiCL-wiMfW1) i Jay IT.

The first murmur of disapproval arose on Sunday when, it was announced that Lord Robert Cecil would represent South Africa instead of General J. C. Smuts. Some of the Scandinavian delegates informally suggested that an amend ment be adopted preventing delegates from sitting in the future unless they are bona fide residents df the countries they represent. The small Central American states opposed this sugges tion. Meet of them plan to be repre sented at future sessions by proxies on account of the heavy expense of send ing and maintaining delegates In Geneva. It was not regarded as likely, however, that any serious trouble would result from this issue. JAPANESE ACTIVE , The controversy which was threatened over efforts to secure Germany's ad mission seems to have been averted. France threatened to withdraw her dele gation if an effort were made to take Germany into the league, but advices from Berlin quote the German foreign office as saying that Germany does not seek - admission at this time. On the other hand both Austria and Bulgaria, two former allies of Germany, may be admitted. ; ' The Japanese delegates have been sctive here for a week and, unless per suaded otherwise ' by powerful friends, pjrobably will press their resolution for racial equality. FRANCE OBJECTS TO CECIL REPRESENTING SOUTH AFRICA Geneva, Nov. 15. From the stand point of the objections of American Re publicans to the voting provisions of the League of Nations in that they claimed Great Britain has eix votes in the assembly to one of -America, it will be ' Interesting to note what action Is taken on the question of Lord Robert Cecil, who represents South Africa In the league which convened here today. Lord Roberts Is one of the tranters of the covenant He is In entire sympathy with General Smuts, the South Africa leader, who also played a prominent part In framing the league. But France has protested against Cecil representing South Africa, on the ground that if the British colonies are to vote as separate units; a representative so clearly a man of England should not speak for one of them. The possible effect upon American opinion In this case will doubtless have a great bearing on the decision that is made. - Another question that will play a big part In the conference Is the struggle be tween the large and small powers in the league. There are more small na tions than largje ones and the little powers by banding together would be able to dominate the assembly. Conse quently they want the powers of the assembly Increased. On the other hand, the larger powers dominate the council, which has nine members and holds a virtual power of veto over the assembly. Recommenda tions for action by the league must come from the council and not from the as sembly, and the little nations see them selves being crowded Into the back ground in the league deliberations, just as they were crowded out In the peace conference. TURKS GET CHESTY As a result of this struggle there are before the league recommendations to I i "; a if ; - m .-,', , it, Ji ' ' s ' i - , increase the powers of both the assembly and the council, and the little nations may be expected to put up a lively fight for their amendments. The first meeting finds the authority of the league disputed rather Impudently as the member nations believe, by one of the nations which had been regarded as asking lorN mercy. That nation is Turkey i , -While the executive council of the league was holding its -final session on Sunday, prior to the solemn opening of the assembly today, to adopt the principles governing t,he establishment of a permanent mandate commission, the attitude of Turkey had become a very disturbing matter to the allied states men. The mandate commission would grant mandates over former German and Turkish colonies to the members of the entente, yet the Turkish Nationalists don't believe the allies can put them out of Europe. ' SEE THEIR OPPOBTLXITY Political developments In Turkey and the cabinet's refusal to ratify the treaty, despite the allies' demands to ratify the treaty at once, the Nationalist victories and the Armenian campaign have aroused apprehension among French statesmen that the Turks may be decid ing to disavow the whole treaty. And to make matters worse for the allies the French statesmen do not see what can be done about it. The Turks must have come to the conclusion that neither Italy nor France, in the present state of their respective internal affairs, could dispatch a sufficient expedition to the Near East. And the French polltl- j cal strategists doubt that In this event Great Britain would assume responsi bility for ejecting the Turks from Eu ropethe penalty provided : for failure to fulfill the terms of the. treaty. LIST OF PROBLEMS General Wrangel, the only friend that France has on the spot, is hopelessly beaten and In great , danger, and the power of the Turkish Nationalists is growing dally. This ..matter of mandates, one of the most Important coming before the as sembly, was purposely placed at the end of the business of the assembly meet ing in order to give the council suffi cient time to consider the principles in volved, in the establishment of a perma nent commission. The council is to adopt, also, the re port establishing a plebescite to settle the 'Polish-Lithuanian dlspute.jthe Jap anese report on the organ izatron of the free city of Dansig under the terms just signed by the contending nations, the Italian report establishing guarantees by the league for the minority clauses of the Jugo-Slav and Csecho-Slav treaties and the French report on the constitu tion of a permanent financial economic commission in connection with the league. VTSCUS SAM WILL HAVE NO REPRESENTATIVE AT MEETING Washington, Nov. 15. (I. N. S.) The United States will , not be represented at the Geneva meeting of the League of Nations, either officially or unoffi cially, It was authoritatively learned here today. It had been reported that the United States would have observers present. It was admitted, however, that the American minister to Switzer land probably would render a report, but it was stated he would not attend the meetings. . . . Army Captain and Beautiful Wife Are Held for Larceny Washington, Nov. 15. Captain Bev erly Grayson Chew, U. S. A, and his beautiful wife, Mrs. Marjorle Blanche Chew, both prominent in army circles here, were, held in $5000 bail here today charged with grand larceny. Furs, laces and other valuables worth ' $5000 stolen from the fashionable Stoneleigh Court, ' where they formerly had an apartment, were alleged to have been found in their possession. Both denied guilt and refused to comment further. Captain Chew is an infantry officer stationed at , Camp Meade. Md. He was wounded and is said to have served with distinction In the war. He gave his age as 28 and his wife as 27. Most of the articles were missing from the apartment of Mrs. Mary Mc Clintock, which Captain and Mrs. Chew occupied during the latter part of Sep tember while the owner was on a visit to Atlantic City. Following the arrest detectives went to the room occupied by the couple at a local hoel and recovered a sealskin coat valued at 1400 that Major 8. T. Richardson. U. 8. A, stationed In this city, had reported stolen from the Army and Navy club last Friday night. They also recovered a neckpiece reported stolen from Miss Georgia Swann while she was visiting at Stoneleigh Court. N Captain Chew is a native of Washing ton. Ha was appointed from civil life in int. WlitjisflAfSsMl CIRCLE 3 MEN HELD FOR THEATRE PANIC; ' SIX TOTS KILLED New. Tork, Nov. 15. (TJ. P,) Three men were, under orrest today while various city departments were conducting investigations of the tire panic in a movie theatre on the lower East Side late yesterday, which resulted in the death of sfx children and injury of a dozen others. The stampede1 started when a woman shouted "fire" as smoke from a furnace fire seeped through the floor. There were about 400, persons In the theatre, half of whom wei-e Children. In the gallery, the only entrance to which was a steep, narrow stairway, ;were about 100 children. When the cry of "fire" was raised, the first of the. chil dren to reach the stairway stumbled and plunged headlong to the bottom. There they were trampled by the fear maddened children who scrambled after them.' ' EXIT DOOR JAMMED According to the police, the exit "door at the first Door stairway was jammed. When policemen and firemen reached the theatre they found a tangle of little forms tightly wedged against this door. Police had difficulty in handling the frantic parents, who rushed to the scene when they heard of the panic The dead children Included two babies of 2 years. Witnesses said the rush of the men and young boys for the exits was an appalling exhibition of coward ice 1 Women and children were knocked about without the slightest considera tion and several women were found un conscious on the benches after the the atre had been cleared and firemen went in to get the dead. OWNERS ARRESTED The owners of the 'theater. Max i Schwartz, 23, and Barnett Weinberg, 44, j were arrested at once, as were John mikuiow, 27. tne operator or the motion picture machine, and Joseph Colehti, 31, the manager of the house. Schwartz and Weinberg acquired title to the theatre only Friday, and Weinberg protested, after the disaster, that he was a ruined man. SOME RESCUED In addition to the children killed, alt of whom bore distinctly Italian names, seven or eight others were badly tram pled and were laid out on the floors of two nearby drug stores, after being res cued by the firemen, and given first aid before being taken to hospitals. There is a balcony in the dark, nar row theatre and this was crowded with men and women. When the janitor set a natch to an accumulation of rubbish in pe furnace, billows of smoke came our through the draughts in the door and seeped through the crack of. the floor into the theatre. There was a dead silence while the audience sniffed the smoke, and then came the terrible cry: v "Fire!- .' If O HEROISM HERE i Within a space of five minutes all who could get out of the house were out. Men are said to have leaped over the balcony rail, landing; on the strug gling people In the pit, in their wild rush to get away. The few" calm spirits among the crowd were j almost over whelmed by the rush, but managed ' to. hand out several children through the smashed glass of the balcony door, sav ing their lives. i -There was a report that this balcony door was locked, necessitating the smashing of the glass, but the owners of the house refused to discuss it. As there is a severe, penalty provided for admitting children to; motion pic ture theatres In New, York unless they are accompanied by their parents, an investigation is being started to learn whether there were . any in the house not with their parents. ' CRIPPLE HAS SO CHANCE One of the victims was Joseph Lom bard!. 2 years old, who was out of the hospital wftere he hsd been fitted with a new pair of metal and leather braces for his paralyzed legs. Joseph was in the front row and never had a chance. In some places the children were found piled four or five deep, their muffled voices feebly calling for help after most of the adults had fled. Mayor Hylan, and Fire Marshal Bro phy arrived in Catherine street .within an hour after the panic and called for immediate Investigations, The old home of Governor Alfred Smith is In Oliver street, a couple of blocks from the theater.

"NONSENSE," a Two-Part Comedy Keatet and Our j Mighty Voiced Wurlitzer testified, "was taken oft and ' sold at Kia All ship records were confiscated by the American consul at mo." , t Asked by Chairman Walsh wh:"Aerl on his return, be . had called on ' Tu multy with 'regard to his cabled pro tests, the witness said: . i l called at the Whlta House and Tumulty said he had referred all the telegrams to the shipping board'.' i "Did you enter charges against the acting consul V asked Chairman Walsh. "Yes. with the shipping board and witb the president of the United States." On further questioning, the witness said he himself bad been tried on charges "trumped np by the shipping board" for "telling tales out ef school." The case was dismissed, he said. Telling of his trial, the witness said: CLERK URGES SUSPEJrSIOJT "Admiral Benson listened a while, when a young clerk said r. " 'Admiral. I think this captain should remain suspended until this case is set tled.' "Then Admiral Benson said, 1 can't reinstate you and pay you hack salary, for the shipping board might 'not back me up and would take it out of my pay. I'm just a poor admiral and I can't af ford that But I think you have been badly treated. You seem to have preju diced your case by referring to the act ing United States consul as a "crook." " "What else did Admiral Benson say?"' the witness was asked. "He saM that he would suspend the American . vice consul as the shipping board's agent at Rio, but that was as far as his authority extended." Later in his testimony Captain Cham bliss said : "I believe that Secretary Tumulty was frank and tried to put down that rascal ity in Rio." The witness , then read the message he had serft to Tumulty as follows: "Consul's clique still holding my ship Lake Elkwood int Rio to make money on repairs not needed. Please confer with shlppjng board. I advise disciplining consul." TUMULTY DTD UTMOST 'T believe Tumulty did all he could." the witness continued. "But his hands were tied by people higher up." Charles A. Elliott of New York, chief officer aboard the Lake Elkwood, testi fying after Chambliss. bore out the let ter's assertion that one propeller was all the vessel needed at Rio. The ship's engineer, according to Chambliss and Elliott sided with the Rio survey commission. Elliott declared both he and his captain were "black listed" by the shipping board for trying to save the American people money. Elliott, like Chambliss, was acquitted of charges later preferred at the in stance of Acting Consul Haeberie. The chief officer testified that Captain Chambliss was taken off the vessel by force, "at the point of guns." , HAEBEKLE IS PROMOTED ' Chambliss. In the course of his own testimony, said : , "Since this episode, Mr. .Haeberie, who, I believe is a protegee of Champ Clark, has been made consul general at Rio. The witness quoted Haebele as Baying : VI know the ropes down here and won't let anyone put anything over." Asked where the Lake Elkwood was now. Captain Chambliss said : "She's at the Staten Island Shipbuild ing company, which is managed by Felix Tumulty, brother of Secretary Tumulty. She lost a rudder on the way back from Buenos Aires." Two Brazilian soldiers, Chambliss tes tified, assisted In arresting him on No vember 13, 1919, when he was taken off his boat on orders from Consul Hae berie. Then he told a story of a mock trial. "I was taken to the police station and the judge asked what charge had been preferred. HO CHARGE MADE "There is no need to make charges,' Mr. Haeberie replied. "But he didn't satisfy the judge, who said he could not hold me unless charges were made in writing. This Mr. Haeberie refused to do." ' In detailing what he described -as per secution, the witness told how, left "high and dry," 6000 miles from home, he had cabled his wife at South Orange, N. J., for funds to return, but that the $300 she sent by telegraph was with held "through- some devious means to keep me from leaving . Rio." Only recently was the money returned to his wife, the witness added, with the explanation that "delivery could not be made. . CLERKS HE-AD FIRM ' Chambliss said his vessel was oper ated by the Paragon Shipping company, "which. I understand, was formed by two Inexperienced clerks who had offices in the shipping board building at Washington' The witness averred he had saved the government "at least 3100,000 in- tugi boat charges" by taking, his ship into Rio with one blade after three propeller blades had faUen off 1000 miles off the Brazilian port. ; i The chief Justice of Brazil reinstated him as master of his vessel, Chambliss testified, after the American legation itad declined to act. f Gasoline Is Reduced ; Cent on Wagon Cost - New York,' Nov. 15. -(I.

Or., Nov. 15. -The burden of proof as to the reasonableness or justification of the requested rate Increases will lie, with the Pacific Telephone & Telegraph company, ac cording to Fred O. Buchtel, chair man of the state public service com mission, who, this morning, refused to comment further on ths applica tion, which was filed with the de partment Saturday afternoon. Although no advance notice of the ap plication had been given the commission, the move was not entirely unexpected. It being recalled that at the conclusion of the last telephone rate Increase the company, while accepting the decree of the state regulatory body, served public notice that it proposed to renew its at tempt, at a later date, to secure a re adjustment of rates in line with those in effect in Washington and California. No action will be taken by the com mission until after a most thorough in vestigation into the merits 'of the case. It is expected that a preliminary hearing wilt be arranged within the next few months at which the company can pre sent its , case after which a recess will be taken for a study of the case pending a j second formal hearing at which both the company and its 'patrons wilt be asked to present arguments before the commission. While the commissioners would not even hazard a guess as to the time of these hearings, judged by the condition of the docket at the present time, it will probably be at least six months before any final action can be taken.
