Len Small of Illinois i Or
dered to Account for
Over $1,000,000:
FALSE LOANS MENTIONED
Governor, While Acting a (State
Treasurer, Is Said to Have
Put State Money Into
Fictitious Bank? -
SPRINGFIELD, 111., Doc. 16.
( By Associated Press. ) Gover
nor Len Small today was ordered
by tbe supreme court to make an
accounting for approximatly $1,
000,000 in interest money on
State funds alleged to have been
withheld by hiin while he 1 was
state treasurer.
Today's decision in which two
of the seven justices dissented,
charges '. that he deposited state
moneys while state treasurer in
a fictitious bank at 2 per cent in- i
terest, later splitting profits ac
cruing from re-loans at from ,5 to
8 per cent. "
Governor Small was acquitted
in 19 22 on a criminal charge
based on the same evidence used
in the present chancery action. In
a formal statement he announced
tonight that he would petition for
a rehearing, declaring that a
"great mistake -has been made"
and that he had all interest funda i
feceived into the state treasury. I
"A secret agreement, ".with the I
fictitious "Grant Park Park," and
Small's failure as state treasurer
to show the source of interest
moneys collected on state funds,
were causes which the supreme
court said were each sufficient to
warrant an order for accounting.
Small, it is charged, deposited
r state money in this bank at the 2
per cent minimum then provided
by state law and tbe late state
senator, E. C. Cnrtis and his on,
vho owned the bank, re-loaned
the money at 5 and 8 per cent to
Chicago packers and then split
the profits with Small.
The estate of the senator and
his son, Verne, are consequently
joined with Small as defendants,
and with him must make an ac
counting. The opinion of the Sangamon
county circuit court which today's
decision upheld, directed that the
case he referred "back for a defi
nite statement of the amount paid.
A RICA ACTION EXPECTED
WASHINGTON. Dec. l6.By
Associated Press.) While offi
cials declined tonight to comment
on th? news of the certification of
the Chilean appeal to President
Coolidge as arbitrator of the Tac-na-Anica
award, it was generally
expected here that ie would take
prompt action.

Long Pending Proposal. Will
Be Debated Today Under
Special Order
BORAH TO OPPOSE MOVE
'IrreconciliableM" Against Adlie
siou to World Court; league
Relationship Is De
clared Iioose
WASHINGTON, Dec. 16. (By
Associated Press). The long
pending' proposal that the United
States adhere to the world court
comes before the senate tomorrow
under a special order. The reso
lution of adherence is that of
Senator Swanson of Virginia, !
ranking democrat on the foreign
relations committee, anil contains
five reservations. The two prin
cipal ones are that adhesion shall
not be taken to involve any legal
relations on the part of the United
States to the league of nations
and that the United States be in
no manner bound by any advisory
opinion of the court.
The court question would be
considered "in open executive"
session and will be the subject of
extended debate. While two re
publican presidents have recom
mended American adhesion, the
administration must look to the
democrats for the margin of votes
necessary for ratification.
Chairman Borah of the foreign
relations committee, as well as
the other "irreconoiables," are op
posed to the adhesion on the
ground that the court is the crea
ture of the league. Proponents of
the court contend that the tribun
al if? wholly separate from the
league.
Senator Swanson will open the
discussion with a prepared address
which will require several hours
for delivery, lie hopes to keej?
his resolution before the senate
for severa!Tdays.
The first proposal for American
adherence to the court was made
by President Harding February
24, 1923. He recommended four
reservations, since known as the
Harding - Hughes' reservations,
which are incorporated In the
Swanson resolution.
The senate took no action and
President Coolidge in his first an
nual message m the same year
urged action and proposed a fifth
reservation, that holding the
United States could not be bound
by advisory opinions of the court.
Several resolutions to carry out
the recommendation were offered
but it was not until last March
that a definite move was made to
get the matter before the senate

feel an added, surge of loyalty for
