Developments in the oouncil of the League of Nation today had a decidedly American tinge. Negotiations for American membership in the World Court of Justice continued. The oouncil decided to send a proposed treaty calling for financial assistance for states threatened with aggression or victims of aggressions to the United States and other non-members of the league. The probable American adhesion to the Hague tribunal for settlement of juridical disputes is linked in the minds of statesmen here with the Kellogg pact for the renunciation of war. Roots Proposal Hailed.

In his celebrated formula to pave the way for America affiliations Elihu Root was believed to have proclaimed a political doctrine having special appeal to the psychology of Anglo-Saxon peoples. In voting to send the treaty of financial assistance to the United States, the council was believed to have been actuated by the convictions that the project was connected in a sense with the Capper and Porter resolutions to put teeth in the Kellogg pact. The hope was that the United States might apply its provisions in concrete cases against a country which wantonly violated the Kellogg pact and launched an aggressive war. Foreign Minister Gustav Strese-mann of Germany had another conversation with Sir Austen Chamber-lain tonight on general European problems, Including reparations and evacuation of the Rhineland.

ENNA JETTICK Health Shoe 1 Welterweight Champion May Be Kept Out Of Ring Many Weeks. Reporter Amid uarez Gunfire Resigns Himself To Black Coffee. BOSTON, March 8 (IP). An authoritative statement indicating that officials of the federal department of justice in this district interpret the Jones act as failing to give authority for the search of private dwellings unless they are being used for the unlawful sale of liquor was Issued today by Eli-hu D. Stone, assistant United States attorney.

mans home Is bill castle, the statement Said, even under the Jones amendment to the national prohibition act. To understand the offset of the Jones amendment one must consider the national prohibition act in its entirety. The Jones act is an amendment to Section 29 of Title II of the national prohibition act, which section deals with penalties. It is true that under the Jones amendment practically all offenses under the act become felonies. Fears Are Unfounded.

Nevertheless the fears expressed as to the right of federal prohibition officers to violate the sanctity of one's home by reason of the provisions of the Jones act are unfounded. The provision contained in section 25 of the national prohibition act relative to the search of a dwelling house Is not repealed by the Jones act. Section 25 provides that No search warrant shall be Issued to search any private dwelling occupied as such unless it is being used for the unlawful' sale of Intoxicating liquor. Thus the national prohibition act by its own provisions imposes a limitation upon the power of our courts to issue search warrants for the search of a dwelling house occupied as such. This restriction has not been repealed by the Jones act.

The statement added that "the elevation of certain offenses under tho prohibition act to felonies will doubt make it possible for federal pro-" hlhltlon officers to Invoke the law relating to the right of search and seizure on the part of an officer when he has reason to believe that a felony has been and is being committed in places outside of a dwelling house. Grants Discretionary Power. Mr. Stone said further that the real importance of the Jones act lies in the fact that it grants discretionary power to the federal Judiciary so as to be able to deal with bootleggers as the facts and the circumstances of the case warrant, and that it is clear from the language of the act itself that Congress Intended to give tho court power to deal drastically with habitual and major offenders. Certainly, he continued, "The high caliber of the federal Judiciary in Massachusetts as well as in the country generally may well be relied upon to Administer the law Justly and humanely.

Our federal Judges are worthy of faith arid the only element in our community that has reason to fear the effect of the Jones act Is the bootlegging fraternity. NEW HAVEN H. H. WILL REVOLUTION HALTS FLIGHT TO PANAMA Causes Postponement Of Eaker's Dawn-To-Dusk Hop. DE MAR WILL RUN BOSTON, March 8 (IP) De Mar will start his 1929 marathon campaign tomorrow by participating against an exceptional field in the 44-mile Tun from Providence, R.

Heneage, supervisor of the Greens athletics, left here today to attend the annual meeting of the Eastern Association For the Selection of Football Officials, which will be held tomorrow in Philadelphia.

BOSTON, March 8 of Dr. Henry- M. Mayer, Ph. chairman of the commission on education of the Near East Relief, as dean of the School of Religious Education of Boston university was announced tonight by the university trustees. Dr.

Mayer succeeds Dr. Walter Scott Athearn, a member of the university faculty for 13 years and dean of the school since 1922. The new dean will take up his duties In July. BOSTON, March 8 (IP). Joe Dundee, whose career as welterweight champion has been crowded with misfortune, was in a Boston hospital today suffering from a seriously infected left arm which threatens to keep him out of the ring for many weeks.

The champion submitted to an emergency operation last night and his physician reported that his condition remained unchanged during the day. The Infected surface, according to Dr. John H. Cunningham, was large and the spread of poison had reached an alarming extent when he was called in to treat the boxer by Eddie Mack, promoter of the Boston Garden. Mack had matched Dundee and A1 Mello of Lowell for the main bout in a charity boxing show set for tonight.

As a result of Dundees injury, the contest was postponed indefinitely. Dundee told the physician that he caused the infection by irritating a small growth oq his arm about a week ago. He said that he disregarded the wound, feeling confident it would not hamper him during his bout with Mello, until last night when the spread of poison caused an alarming temperature. Doctor Makes Formal Statement. As the Massachusetts Boxing commission has a rule demanding a 24-bour notice on postponements, the champion requested Dr.

Cunningham to broadcast a formal statement as evidence of good faith. Mr. Mack, Dr. Cunningham stated, brought Joe Dundee to see me with an Infected area on his left forearm. There was no.

question that p)per treatment was drainage. The was opened last evening at tff Charlesgate hospital. While Dundee had a disposition to try to go on with the bout, I was opposed to it, as Infections such as he had, not Infrequently progress so that in order to save life the arm must be removed. After explaining the seriousness of the condition to Dundee, Mr. Mack and Mr.

Huntington R. Hardwick, they made the proper decision, in my opinion, of postponing the bout The postponement was a disappointing setback to a group of Boston society women who sponsored the boxing show to aid the Boston Boys club and the Boston Childrens Friend society. The advance sale had been large, indicating that the gate receipts would have exceeded 360,000, a quarter of which would have gone to the two institutions. EL PASO. March 8 (P).

History records that a famous Roman ruler fiddled whi-le Rome w-as burning, but his nonchalance was no greater than that of Lester B. Sutcliffe, a reporter for the El Paso, Herald today in Juarez, who though bullets from revolutionary rifles were flying about him thought only of the lack of cream for his morning coffee. Concealed in an adobe house in Juarez directly in the line of opposing fire, Sutcliffe spent the night early morning giving telephone reports on the progress of the battle for possession of the city to the editorial rooms of the Herald. With a pair of telephone earphones on his head, Sutcliffe from his vantage point on tho floor directly beneath a window w'hich gave him a commanding view of the hostilities kept his office constantly advised of the situation. Battle Opens At Dawn.

There was little doing during the night. With the coming of dawn and the opening of hostilities with a vengeance, Sutcliffe began to take notice of things. Put-put-put-put, came the sound of a machine gun to his ears. Things are flying rather thick and fast here, Sutcliffe flashed his office. The fire is increasing The rebels are advancing, he cried into hi3 phone.

The sound of the firing increased in intensity. From his box seat Sutcliffe could see the rebels advancing. Now and then a cloud of dust passing his window carried to him the knowledge that his stronghold- was within the range of the gunfire. If you cant hear me, dont swear, he told R. E.

Lepley, news editor of the Herald, who was in the newspaper office taking Sutcliffes account of tho battle. Here comes the milkman, shouted Sutcliffe through the phone, now for our morning coffee. Volley Scares Milkman. The milkman approached the house from his wagon, which he left parked In the street. At the same time ma-chihe gunners got the range of the house and let em have it.

The milkman started to flee, dropping the cream meant for Sutcliffes coffee. The horses took their cue from the action of the milkman and started down the street in an opposite direction. Oh, Oh, said Sutcliffe over the phone. There goes the cream for my coffee, I guess Ill have to take it black today. With that out of the way Sutcliffe's thoughts returned to the progress of the battle for control of Juarez and he continued to reveal details of the encounter to Lepley.

STATE CAPITOL, HARTFORD, March 8 (IP) The intention of the New York, New Haven Hartford railroad to inaugurate a system of radio telephone to supplant signals in freight train operation was announced by officials today at a legislative hearing on a bill providing state control of radio broadcasting. L. A. Shepard, general superintendent of electrical transmission and communication, and W. L.

Barnett, counsel for the road, objected to the bill on the grounds it would give the state the right to interfere with the companys plan of using radio. Mr. Shepard, who has been working out the plan with, the aid of several radio companies, said there would be a transmitting or broadcasting station at the rear end of freight trains and a receiving station at the front, so that the conductor could communicate with the engineer regarding movements of the train. The system will be used in all four of the states In which the New Haven road operates, New York, Connecticut, Rhode Island, and Massachusetts, and would prove especially beneficial, Mr. Shepard declared, on long freights making long runs.

If the bill which the railroad officials opposed is enacted, Connecticut will be the second state in the country to have such a law, the other being Michigan.
