of Repeated iTimes When

ON CRISIS IN RUHR
Says Court Can Only Act in
Controversy With Con
sent of Wrong Doer
SACRAMENTO, Cal., Sept. 20.
The league of. nations has re
peatedly, failed to prevent resort
to war In violation of its covenant.
United States Senator Hiram W.
Johnson said today In addressing
the combined luncheon clubs of
Sacramento.; v
; "When - Mussolini bombarded
Corfu he shot up the Moribund
league of nations," he asserted.
'"The Italian cannon - dramatically
demonstrated to the world what
was before known, what had many
times; been proven but what In
ternationalists failed to under
stand or wilfully refused to recog
nize." ;
Eight Resort to Annies , f
Since ' the establishment of the
league, be continued, "eight 'mem
ber states have resorted to arms in
violation of the covenant and in no
instance-has any attempt been
made to penalize the offenders.
"In the fighting between' Jugo
slavia and Albania the league was
appealed" to; bat Just as in the re
cent dramatic example ijof Italy
and'Greece' the league declined to
act because the ' matter was being
considered by-r the - conference of
ambassadors " The principle 'was
then established Jn reality ! that
the league could not deal with in,
question over whicn the confer
ence of ambassadors- had jurisdic
tion; ;, -L
-:J After describing the I eastern
Galacla, Vilna, Greco-Turkish, and
Franco-German troubles, the sere
ator continued:
Lord Cedl Quoted
"When Lord Cecil, the mo3t
widely known1 advocate of the
league, arrived In America he was
asked why could not the league of
nations do anything in the Ruhr
valley crisis?' He replied: I do
not say it could not, but after all,
the league is only a conference and
Its subsidiary, the court of inter
national justice, as it is now oper
ating, can act only when it is ask
ed to do so by the nations in dis
pute." The conference of ambassadors
represents simply the foreign T of
fices of the allies in the great war,
Senator Johnson declared. "It is
moved by the same purposes, gov
erned by" the same Instincts that
have ever directed the chancellor
ies of the great powers.-- It is the
modem survival of secret diplom
acy, with selfish exploitation and
ruthless aggrandizement controll
ing it. To this - body Mussolini
turned, when he contemptuously
spurned the league'
' Not'Coort at All
The senator asserted Lord Cecil
now Is endesorlfag to haVe adopt
ed a "provision -of the covenant by
which force,- that is .soldiers, could
be requisitioned, in different zones
to compel obedience to the league's
mandates.'.".
"I cannot repeat too often," con
tinued the senator, that this so
called court is not a court at alL
It' can -act as its chief spokesman.
Lord Cecil says, 'only when It Is
asked to do so by the nations In
disputed The great nations, Eng
land, France,! Italy and Japan,
hare practically "declined to sub-;
mit to, its compulsory jurisdiction.

Blame for Yankee Farmer
Type in Minds Put on Movie
r ; Producers Themselves
CinCAGO, .- Sept 20. The
"hick farmer with his whiskers
and trousers tucked In his boots,
caricatured in the movies and on
the stajje. will be relegated to the
same shelf with the dodo, bird, if
plans approved here today at the
convention of. the American Farm
bureau are successful. .
Movies will dispel the ancient
farmer type and in his place pre
sent on the silver screen the mod
em farmer, a type of business man
with a capital of from $25. 00O to
S100,OO0. an . owner of . automo
biles and! the latest farm machin
ery. ' - -; ? -; :
The' blame tor the old "Yankee
farmer" type being carried in the
NnJid of the majority of Ameri
ca's city dwellers was laid at the
door of the movie producers them
selves by- Samuel Guard, director
of publicity of the federation.
"The farm is modern and up
to date with all the-conreniences
and comforts of the city but the
film producer has woefully neg
lected to keep pace with the farm
er," he declared. "They fail to
depict us as citizens but prefer to
picture us as 'hicks and 'rubes.
"We don't want these kind of
caricatures prevailing 'among the
public and If the motion . picture
interests won't picture rural life
and districts as they should be we
intend to produce our own pic
tures." '
' Not alone will the movies be
used to correct impressions of Am
erican farms and farmers but they
will be used, according to plans of
the publicity committee, to .teach
the latest scientific methods of
agriculture to the . farmers them
selves. - -. ",
:: The American farm bureau fed
eration already has- utilized the ra
dio in furthering farm work of
the country. , Farm, programs with
practical farmers or authorities on
agricultural, problems are being
broadcast weekly, from hundreds
of stations throughout the country
and these will be Increased mater

Dangerous5 Infection Which

Discovered in Cattle v-
SPOKANE; Sept. 20. A serious
situation in' the northwest is cre
ated' by the discovery of a case of
anthrax, a dangerous infection
capable of ' being transmitted to
humans, in a herd of Jersey cat
tle near Walla Walla. Dr; J. II.
Martin' of the state department' ot
agriculture, told the session of the
county health officers of the state
of Washington here today.
"This Is the-first: case-of-anthrax
discovered in the state' ot
Washington;' (Dr. Martin said.
Two laboratory, tests showed pos
itive anthrax, and if the dniagnosis
proves true, it will be interesting
to watch the progress of the dis
ease. .
The concluding sessions of the
convention today were taken up
principally by discussions of means
for safeguarding, the milk, supply.
Dr. Hiram Reed, health com
missioner of the city of Seattle,
declared that,, raw milk properly
cared for was just as healthful as

More Indications That
R. B. Dabney Is Alive
Further indications that R. B.
Dabney, former Salem man, faked
his "murder" by smearing a red
substance resembling blood over
his blankets and strewing clews
around the vicinity where his
truck was found near Oswego ear
ly Monday morning came to light
yesterday when . three Salem men
declared they had seen him in the
city Monday morning. Dabney
was supposed to' have been mur
dered some time Saturday, night.
1 R. R. Crum, an employe, of the
Central . cigar; store, 3C3 State,
Robert Glenn,, another ' employe,
and R. P. Taylor, postoffice clerk,
are positive they talked with him.
Dabney Is quoted as saying he had
''returned for some papers." The
papers are believd to b n Insur
nc policy."
' ' Dabney is known to have an in
surance policy for 3000.' His
debts,' according to his wife, am
ounted' to about $1000.' Officers
are seeking" to learn if he had
sought to stage a scene resembling
that employed by Dr.' Brumfield
Roseburg dentist. Dabney lived
for some time in Roseburg. and
some credence is being given to
thsi supposition.
, . On. one previous instance Dab
ney disappeared for a period of six
months, his wife told officers.
They; are working on the theory
that he" might be duplicating his
former trick.' Portland .officers
have entirely abandoned the mur
der theory and' are devoting every
energy- toward locating Dabney,'
who Is now believed to be alive.
