government favors a similar meth-

earmarked for reparations but it
understood that the British gov-

he United States will probably join
at Britain in an effort to secure
terms for Hungary in view of the
that the United States has a prior

SLAIN MAN’S WIDOW
IDENTIFIES MAN AS
‘GIRL’BANDIT-SLAYER
Male Theory Based on
Fact That Slayer Had
“Fat Hands.”
Chicago. June 19.—Fred G. Thom-
son said to have posed a woman was
positively identified today according
to the police by Mrs. Richard Tesmer
as the supposed woman bandit who
shot and killed her husband in a bold-
up the night of June 5.
Although Mrs. Tesmer had told how
Hie bandit smiled when Tesmer was
shot mid declared she never would
forget that smile and the robber's blue
eyes the police after questioning doz-
ens of women whom they bad reason
to suspect of possible connection with
the crime turned to the possibility
that a man disguised as a woman had
fired the fatal shot.
The male theory was largely based
on Mrs. Tesmer's recollection that the
bandit had fat hands mid their inabil-
[ity to find any clue to a woman ban-
dit who could be shown to be a killer.
Tesmer and his.wife were returning
in their automobile to their home on
the north side and were about to turn
into their garage when two persons
stepped out of the shadows and point-
ed revolvers at them. One appeared
to be a woman who took the lead in
the robbery. The other was a man.
Mrs. Tesmer told the jiolice later.

HUGHES LIGOS
INTERNATIONAL
COURT SYSTEM
Applauds “Increasing In-
terest in Foreign Peo-
ples” in Speech.
TALKS TO ALUMNI
Path of Justice Is Only
Proper Road Secre-
tary Tells Hearers.
Hanover. N. H. June 19.—The per-
manent court of international justice
constitutes a tribunal with standards
"that conform to our highest courts.”
Secretary Hughes said her> today
speaking at the alumni gathering in
connection with commencement exer-
cises at Dartmouth College.
"1 make bold to say” Mr. Hughes
said "that the United States could
today with greater satisfaction sub-
mit disputes to which it is a party
to this court than to any arbitral
tribunal it would be possible to set
up.”
Mr. Hughes applauded "the increas-
ing interest in foreign peoples mid
our relations with them." now evident
in the United States but said that
if this interest was not to serve
"merely to promote to constant en-
deavors of propagandists or of racial
groups it must have its support in n
careful study of history” and the
understanding of other nations mid
their conditions which the collges
should provide.
"In our foreign relations we desire
peace security and co-operation” said
the secretary. “Would that the spirit
of America had one voice one mes-
sage! But there is n babel of voices
a confusion of tongues. If danger
threatens us. we happily stand united.
but when we are least concerned as
to our own safety we are most divid-
ed in our counsels. But allowing for
nil the inevitable differences is it
to much to expect that we should
have one controlling voice one domi-
nant message as to the fundamentals?
Wc are intent on peace. and because
of this the United States can never
refuse its support to institutions of
justice.
Two Classes of Controversies.
“We recognize that there are two
classes of controversies which mny lead
to strife. There are tile conflicts of
national interest of political expedien-
cy of rival policies where there is
no agreement no recognized deter-
mining principle no governing rule of
law which may be invoked. Here wc
are bound to recognize the rights of
other states equal numbers of the
family of nationals as we unfailingly
insist upon our own. It was said
by one of our great statesmen that
the foreign policy of the United States
may be described as the Monroe doc-
trine mid the golden rule. We shall
achieve our highest aims of helpful-
ness when we think as much of the
latter as we properly think of the
former.
"Helpfulness is not meddlesomeness
mid does not consist in attempts to
intrude uninvited decisions in con-
troversies that are not ours. Our
friendly officers are always available
when they are welcome and can prop-
erly be given but it must be remem-
bered that friendship is to continue.
"But in that class of controversies
where there are treaties to carry out.
and commonly accepted principles mid
rules of international law to apply
we have a manifest duty. That duty
is to maintain the sanctity of in-
ternational engagements; to aid in se-
curing the impartial adjustment of
differences and thus to insure the
adequate administration of interna-
tional justice.
Must Support Justice.
“But we shall do but lip-service to
this cause if we refrain from sun- ।
porting the agencies of justice. It
happens that at this t'me there ex- [
ists. is functioning a .lermnnent court .
of international justice equipped with
men whose character and erniipment I
permits no charge of part’nliny or
disqualification. They corstitute an
independent tribunal with the stand-
ards. the tenure of office nnd the
equipment that conform to the stand-
nrsd of our highest courts. In truth
they constitute in fact as well ns in
name an actual conrt of justice. 1
“Thbre is no path to the millenium
other than the path of justice nnd if '
we discard the best attainable instru- i
mentalities of justice to that extent !
wc invite the decisions of the sword.
The true method of promoting inter- I
national accord is to seek to avert the
clash of interests b.v agreements nnd
to have agreements interpreted .".no
fairly carried out.”
Victim of Heat.

rat. 78 years old. a millwright who '
collapsed at his bench this afternoon. 1

Passengers Drink the Ship Dry
New York. June 19. —The liner Majestic arrived today after a rcco'd
run from Cherbourg. Bone dry except for 36 gallons of brandy required
by British law for emergency medical use.
Altlrougb she had started with her usual smoking room supply of
liquor and. in addition private stocks which some passengers had ordered
in England the entire supply was gone at 11:30 last night before the
three mile limit was reached and there was none to be thrown overboard.
“It took the best efforts of the passengers to do it." said one ship’s
officer “but we now have only the British legal requirements of one
gallon of brandy for each 100 passengers and members of the crew and
the regular supply for the lifeboats.”
Members of the crew said the prospect of a dry voyage home was
“terrible” but they said it with smiles that indicated they had hopes of
one sort or another.
Avery Hopwood. American playwright who was one of the Majy-tic’s
passengers claimed the record achievement on the trip across declaring
he bad started with 25 quarts of champagne gin. vermouth and wine
and had reached the three mile limit just as his cabin went dry.
The bar steward declared that many passengers competed for the
honor of taking the last drink in the stores. One man in particular he
said boasted all the way over that he would have the last swallow hot

end.

“FRAME-UP” VICTIM?
Larson Defense Hints at Jealousy of
Western Capitalist.
New York June 19.—Ernest Buell
a war veteran told a jury that John
M. Larsen airplane manufacturer and
recently knighted by the king of Nor-
way for his aerial activities em-
ployed him last February to set fire
to the Larsen plant at Central Park
Long Island for the purpose of col-
lecting insurance.
Buell was the star witness for the
Commercial Union Fire Insurance
Company which is suir-g Larsen for
$lBOOO. which it says Larsen had on
an insurance policy.
The defense indicated it would at-
tempt to prove that Larsen WHS the
victim of a “frame-up" arranged b.v a
western capitalist because of cnemity
engendered when Larsen won an air-
plane race in which a relative of the
capitalist was entered.
Arthur G. Hayes counsel for Lar-
sen. declared the suit was the out-
come of the feeling caused when Lar-
sen protested the award of the com-
mercial airplane trophy to C. B.
Wrightman's entry. Wrightman was
described as the son of a wealthy
Tulsa. Okla. oil man.
Mr. Hayes charged he would dis-
close. as the trial progressed tha'
Wrightman cany* East in April 1922
and made arrangements with a de-
tective agency which put an operative
on Buell’s trail. He charged that
Buell was finally forced to sign a
"confession” in a hotel room.

Threats of Injunction to Stop Five-
day Preliminary Journey Do Not
Affect Sailing—Ocean Greyhound
Is Largest Liner Afloat.
Boston Mass. June 19.— The great liner Leviathan
sailed this afternoon on her trial trip to southern waters
with several hundred guests of the Shipping Board.
Thick weather deprived persons on the mainland who
had trained their glasses on her anchorage in the lower
harbor of the opportunity of seeing her departure but
Shipping Board officials gave word that she had started
at the appointed time.
Injunction proceedings to prevent the trip failed to
materialize notwithstanding reports that they might be
brought.
Rumors that an injunction might be sought in the
federal courts here to prevent the sailing of the Leviathan
today on her trial trip could not be confirmed.
A man who gave his name as Tyler telephoned to the
local federal attorney’s office yesterday said he had just
been talking with Chairman Lasker of the shipping board
on the long-distance telephone and asked whether any
steps had been taken toward an injunction.
The great ship transformed from its former role of
army transport to a luxurious home for travelers lay spick
and span in her new paint at anchorage in the lower har-
bor this morning after leaving drydock yesterday.
