GERMANY ADMITTED TO LEAGUE Dnce Enemy Is Elevated to Permanent Membership in Council. SPAIN WILL DROP OUT Three New Nonpermanent Seats Created. Su United Pre.ee GENEVA, Sept. B.—Gerrr%ny toJay was elevated to permanent nembershlp in the League of Naions Council —an honor which hereofore has been reserved for the maicr nations which opposed her during he war., In admitting Germany to the eague, the assembly removed the ast obstacle which had prevented consummation of the Locarno agreenents for peace, security and arbitration. Heavy Cost It appeared today that the league had gained Germany at the expense of Spain and Brazil, both of which countries demanded permanent council seats last March when it was proposed that Germany should be so honored. Brazil has withdrawn from the league, and Spain only awaited today’s assembly action to make her course public. Only two great powers now remain outside this league—Soviet Russia and the United States. Demand Expected As soon as Germany is firmly settled in her new-role she is expected to demand reconsideration of the clause in the Versailles treaty which brands her as guilty of causing the war. At frequent intervals during the eight years since the close of the war Germany has been summoned before the bar of allied or other jus tice to explain, promise or to deny. Henceforth, Germany may be ex pected to occupy a comfortable chair • t international council tables and her representatives will speak and argue on a parity with the repre sentatives not only of the nations which were neutral but those which opposed her during the war. Membership Increased Simultaneously with its action in fixating a permanent council seat for Germany, the league assembly created three new nonpermhnent council seats, thereby increasing the membership of the upper house of the league from ten to fourteen. There now are five permanent council seats possessed by the British Empire, France, Italy, Japan and Germany. One other permanent seat Is being held for the United States. ,g The assembly's vote admitting Germany to the league was unanimous—but six months late. The league council and the league as--embly sought last march *o make Germany league member, but the wrangling debate over permanent council seats prevented the desired iction. > With Germany’s entry into the league, Europe hoped for the begin ning of anew era of tranquillity for upon Germany’s admission depended the consummation of the fa 'nous agreements of Locarno in which the statesmen of England, ’ranee, Italy, Poland, Belgium zecho-Slovakia and Germany last utnmn pledged their various coun rio& to peace and arbitration.

Seven Saved From Burning Ship at Sea Bu l nit est Prrm PHILADELPHIA. Sept, g.—With a thrilling story of rescue from a burning ship at sea. the crew of seven of the schooner Frederick Robinson was safe in port here todpy on board the Czecho-Slovakian steamer Izubran. The Robinson with a load of lumber from Norfolk to New York was mismasted in a squall off the coast last Friday. Shortly after, a gasoline engine rigged to the ship's pump, backfired, getting the ship on fire. “There was seven feet of water in the hold," Captain Ed. Brown of the Robinson, said today, “and we were drifting rapidly. We-bent every effort to kefp the fire from the cargo of white pine, meantime sending out an S. O. S., which was picked up by the U. S. S. Cummings. She came alongside Saturday morning, but it was too rough- to lower a boat. Then the tanker Pawnee came in sight and stood by for a while, but she couldn’t help either. Saturday night the Izabran hove in sigh* just about ‘he time the fire got beyond control. “She put a boat over in the heavysea and took the six men of the crew and myself from the schooner. They threw life lines to us. One after another men in the boat were dragged through the sea to the Izal;rail's deck. After the last of the Izabran's crew was pulled to safety, the lifeboat was splintered against the side of the ship.”
CHARGEOEMPSEY EXHIBITION BOUTS VOLATED TERMS Plaintiffs Think Local Court Order Would Stop Phila- . delphia Fight. Attorneys for flack Dempsey, world’s heavyweight champion, fought in Superior Court Four today to the champion is not bound to carry out an agreement to fight Harry Wills, Negro challenger, under the auspices of the Chicago Coliseum Club, whi-h is seeking to enjoin him from lighting Gene Tunney, Sept. 23, at Philadelphia. It is charged that Dempsey, on last March 13, in Los Angeles, Cal., signed papers to box Wills. Attorneys for the Coliseum Club and Andrew Weisberg, owner of Oliver Hotel at South Bend, and also a plaintiff in the ease, believe an injunction by Judge .Clinton H. Givan here would stop the fight in Philadelphia. Predict Results “It is our belief that an injunction. issued in this court, after service upon Dempsey, will ultimately result in stopping the fight between Dempsey and Tunney at Philadelphia,” said the attorney for the plaintiffs. “That is the reason we asked for this relief when we had no other to enforce our contract with Dempsey. If this injunction is issued there will he no fight.” I>emt>sey not only destroyed the original contract belonging to the club, hut he violated its .terms numerous times by giving exhibiton matches, B. E. Clements, club president, testified. Clements admitted that the matches were part of (the fighter's training for the alleged contract bout, hut declared they violated pterins of the contract restricting public exhibitions. When asked by Earl Cox, Dempsey's attorney, what would result to the Dempsey-Wills bout if another was held prior to it, Clements replied, “A whole lot.” He asserted a previous fight would cut the bout's popularity about 50 per cent. Three Copies Clements said after Dempseysigned three copies of the contract he signed two copies of a supplementary agreement. This agreement changed portions of the original contract to read that Dempsey was to get 50 per cent of the gross receipts instead of the net receipts, and that the money was to he paid directly to him instead of through a Los Angeles bank. Tuesday ho testified Dempsey had obtained the copies of the contract and destroyed them. Cox brought out the date on the post-agreement was March 11, 1926. but Clements testified the contract and supplement were signed on March 13, the March 11 being an error on the part of a stenographer. Judge Givan said he did not know how much time it would require him to rule after Loth sides have rested. ONE DEAD,” FOUR HURT Vincennes Woman Killed in Auto Crash at Vincennes.
