FOR PLACE IN
LEAGUE C'T.
Harding Springs Sensation By
Sending Special Message to
Senate Requesting U. S.
Participation in Court of In
ternational Relations Under
League of Nations.
WASHINGTON', Feb. 21. Presi
dent Harding asked the senate today
to authorize American membership
in the permanent court of interna
tional Justice organized under aus
pices of the League of Nations.
Such a membership, as the presi
dent requested, however, would be
conditioned on several "reserva
tions,"' including one declaring that
no "legal relation on the part of the
United States to the League of Na
tions, is involved."
Mr. Harding acted on the recom
mendation of Secretary Hughes who
advised that with the reservations
stipulated this government could
safely and practicably enter the
court without deviating from Its pol
icies. In a measure asking for senate au
thority to act, the president pointed
' out that the United Biates bad had a
conspicuous part In the original con-j
coptlon of the court and added that
"our deliberate public opinioh of to-!
day is overwhelmingly In favor pi our
full participation and the attending
obligations of maintenance."
"Such action," the president con
tinued, "would add; to our own con
sciousness of participation in the for
tunate advancement of international
relationship and remind the world
anew that we are ready for our prop
er part In further peace and adding
to stability In world affairs."
In addition to the disclaimer of
any legal connection with the league,
the reservations suggested by the
president would permit the United
States to tako a full part in the se
lection of justlcos of the court; would
provide that congress detcrmlno what
part of the expense of the court this I
government would bear; and would
prevent amendment of the court reg
ulations without consent of tho Uni
ted States. '

'WASHINGTON', Feb. 23. The
house was thrown into an uproar to
day after Representative Gallivan,
democrat, Massachusetts, In another
assault on the prohibition enforce
ment act had declared that recently
a "dry member" of the senate had
become "too drunk to answer a roll
call,' and hnd "to be restrained by
two of his colleagues from getting
on tho floor."
Representative Blanton, democrat,
Texas, sought to object, on tho ground
that Mr. Gallivan was transgressing
the rules of tho house in thus refer
ring to a senator, but he was shut
off by a wave of applause and insis
tent demands for "tho regular order"
which was the remainder of Mr. Gal
livan's address,
Tho Texas member stood his
ground, however, and Mr. Gallivan
retorted that while ho could not
under tho rules, of tho house, criticize
tho loKislatlvo acts' of a senator he
wan not, talking about a legislative
act.' Mr.'lilanton was insistent and
Mr. Gallivan reminded him that Rep
resentative Upshnw, democrat, Geor

"If the language with reference to
the drunken senator, who is a frlcrid
of my friend from Texas, hurts his
feelings," Mr. Gallivan ' shouted,
above tho uproar, "I will withdraw
my remarks."
"Ho Is not n friend of mine," re
plied Mr. Blanton, who insisted that
Mr. Gallivan's words bo taken down
so tho houso could pass on whether
they were In order.
Representative McArthur, republi
can, Oregon, who was presiding,
ruled that Mr. Blanton was within his
rights in making this demand, but
the incident was closed with the
withdrawal of his remarks by Mr.
'Gallivan.
i With invective and sarcasm, Mr.
Gallivan kept tho house in good
humor throughout tho hour ho was
on his feet. Ho declared that thotte
who said it was disloyal and lawless
to agitate for repeal of the law be
longed "to tho tribe of tho Pharaoh
