A revolver presented to a boy as a plaything was the cause of two deaths yesterday. The story: Nine year old Barton Foerster. who with his grandparents in the first floor apartment at 1217 Wrightwood avenue, wandered up to the third floor apartment of Mrs.

The president's motion also named Sir James Eric Drummond as secretary general of the league and provided for a committee to inaugurate the league. Thus one of the notable works of the conference passes Its final -stage and is incorporated in the peace treaty.

The French and Japanese amendments, after a brief discussion were not pressed, and the way was thus cleared for unanimous acceptance the league. Italy Not Present. I Italy was not represented at the see-Eton, but the name of Italy appears as ore ofillamembess of league in the covenant as finally adopted. Nine labor principles, including an eight hour day, were adopted for' insertion In the treaty. The session adjourned without considering the report on war responsibiLlties, providing for the trial of the former German emperor by five judges from the great powers.

This report was handed in by the council of four and embodies in the peace treaty a provision for the former emperor's prosecution. This, however, has not as yet been adopted by the plenary conference. Wilson is Recognized. The session opened at 3 o'clock this afternoon. In the French foreign office under circumstances of unusual inter-.

After the council session Mr. Adams admitted frankly that he was the man connected with the Washington case. 'Mr. Adams said he was first assistant secretary of the interior when Walter L. Fisher was secretary.

during the Taft rEgime, and that a recommendation was made by a house committee on expenditures that he be removed. "I shall be glad to appear before any committee appointed by the city council to go into this," said Mr. Adams. It is true that I was accused of doing many wrong things while I was hold. ing that job.

The complaints were referred to Walter L. Fisher, who was secretary of the interior. He found that many of the matters complatned of happened long before I was given the post, and he exonerated me from any wrongdoing. Then there was a change in administration. In the meantime I resigned.

President Wilson then got the complaints and referred them to Secretary of the Interior Lane, who succeeded Mr. Fisher. Mr. Lane concurred In Mr. FrSher's report, and the matter ended.

"If there was any semblance of truth in what the complaints charged against me, I am sure President Taft would not have allowed me to finish out the term of my appointment, and I think the present federal administration surely would have taken some action."
