ROOT PROTOCOL ON COURT WILL GO TO NATIONS Draft to Be Submitted to U. S. After League Council in June. BY HENRY WOOD United Press Staff Correspondent. GENEVA, March 19.—A revised draf; of the 1926 world court protocol. created by Elihu Root to permit entry of the United States into the court, was prepared today for submission to all court signatories for approval. Revgnizea by League of Nations circles as an outstanding acccgnplishment on the part of the American jurist, it is believed probable ’ that the new protocol will be ready for signature when the league assembly convenes next September. Confident of Success Virtually every representative of signatory nations already has expressed confidence that the Root project would bring about United States adherence to the court. The revised protocol formally will be communicated to the United States after its acceptance by the league council in June. The commission of jurists for revision of the court statutes will meet today for public acceptance of the revised draft. Articles 4 and 5 of the revised text stand out as the most important in the Root project, which was amended by Sir Cecil Hurst of England. The entire text includes eight articles, the first of which declares that the United States senate’s five reservations to adherence to the court are accepted under certain terms and conditions. Wait U. S. Permission Article 4 says the court shall render advisory opinions in public session after notice of opportunity tor hearing is given substantially as provided in the existing articles 73 and 74 of the court rules. Article 5 says: “With a view to insuring that the court will not, without the consent of the United States, entertain a request for advisory opinion touching on any dispute or question in which the United States has or claims to have an interest, the sec-retary-general of the League of Nations shall, through any channel designated for that purpose by the United States, inform the United States of any proposal before the council or assembly for obtaining an advisory opinion from the court.”

‘WANTED’ IS VERY LIGHT COMEDY DIET Second Week of Berkell Season Makes No Great Demand Upon the Members of the Cast at English’s. BY WALTER D. HICKMAN VERY light is the amusement diet being offered by the Berkell Players in something called “Wanted," billed as a three-act comedy drama by Don Mullally. In fact, “Wanted” is a very thin offering in more than one spot. The title is meaningless. Just what is wanted, I do not know yet. “Wanted" is one of those light and very harmless things that finds its way rapidly into the stock list each season. It is supposed to be one of those offerings that makes women want to go to the theater.

The play gives such little opportunity to either of the leading players, Miss Marie Louise Walker and James Blaine, that the wisdom of its selection as the second week’s offering of the Berkell company is

still in doubt. It makes a bad good little southern girl out of Miss Walker as Penelope Merton. Penelope becomes stranded in New York and instead of waiting tables at Child’s and the like, she, on the invitation of a Negro maid, moves into a fashionable New York apartment, where the maid was employed. The own-

ers were vacationing in Europe and Penelope thought that no harm could come of the lark. But James Bruce, related to the owners of the flat, returns and Penelope claims that she is a cousin of the Trents, the rich owners of the flat. Os course, Mr. Blaine plays the role of Bruce, and he falls in love with the girl. Just as she is about to tell him the truth, in walk the Trents. Then, of course, it is discovered that several thousand dollars’ worth of jewels of the Trents are missing. To jail goes Penelope. And just when things get pretty serious for our heroine, in walks a detective with the guilty dame who stole the family jewels. Presto cht nge. Happiness and our hero and heroine start on their honeymoon. Oh, my! The comedy is furnished by the two colored maids in the story— Daisy Brooks and Rena Henry, played by Miss Beatrice Savelle and Miss Nell Washburn. These two really walk away with all the comedy honors. If it was not for these two characters, this play would be much thinner than it is. And so “Wanted” ads no great problems to anybody in the cast. It is just another stock bill and will be remembered only as# one of the also rans. It is better acted than it deserves. At English's all week. u t* n LOOKING OVER NEW BILL AT LYRIC “Journey's Inn,”* a comedy skit, tells the story of a young man and woman who are disappointed in each other, and therefore decide to make the best of it with someone else. They all meet in “Journey’s Inn” where the two lovers make up, and the others decide they were wrong. Jimmy Allard plays the part of the inn keeper, who has to stop his customers with a lot of nails in a board. It is very effective, especially on a cold winter night. There is a lot of good clean comedy in this piece, written by Billy House, a comedian of some note. There are several songs in this skit that are snappy, and a good novelty dance by two members of the company. Fielder, Harriett and Harrison call their comedy number, “We’re in the Navy Now.’ Two sailors are on shore leave and want to see and meet some girls. They finally meet one that measures up to their ideas and the little one makes love to the girl while the big one eggs him on. The comedy is mostly slap stick stuff, but it gets its laugh. A1 Rome sure does draw on the old-time moth eaten gags to get over. He sings several songs, and does it nicely. His dancing is novelty stuff, but good. He and his partner, Betty Woods, build up part of the skit with a clarinet, it's legitimate stuff, but he never plays anything beyond the scale. Here are acrobatics dressed up a bit. The two men who do the balancing are both dressed as polar bears, seemingly making the stunt harder to do. “Polar Pastimes” is fairly good acrobatics. Four women and two men make up the Kinkaid Kilties troupe They sing and dance several Scotch numbers. One of the mei\ does a character bit of an old Scotch woman

TOY ELECTRIC TRAIN OBEYS MASTER'S VOICE Orders Are Given Through Phone Transmitter. Bp Science Service SCHENECTADY, N. Y., March 19.—A toy electric train that obeys the spoken words of its master to go, stop or back is one of the latest achievements of the General Electric Company’s Research Laboratory here. The locomotive is named Casey Jones, and by saying “Go Ahead, Casey” the train starts. “Stop” brings it to an immediate halt, while “Back Up!” causes it to do just that. T'Jre secret of operation lies in a special selector, connected through a vacuum tube to an ordinary telephone transmitter through which the orders are given. This determines the polarity of the rails in the track, and the polarity in turn determines whether the train goes forward or backwards. Three or more syllables operate the relay and the selector to provide forward movement. A two syllable order reverses the polarity and the train while one syllable breaks the circuit. COLLECTION PLANNED FOR NATION’S BUDGET Provide Money in Poland Despite Slash by Parliament. By United Press WARSAW, Poland, March 19.

FAIL TO QUIET CRY FOR PROBE OF U. JAILS Fire Warden, Spy System May Be Abolished, but Agitation Continues. BY PAUL R. MALLON United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, March 19.—Dismissal of Warden John W. Snook of Atlanta penitentiary and the prospect that the justice department will abandon its spy sysem in federal prisons have failed to stop agitation in congress for a special investigation of the present situation. The investigation would be directed primarily into the activities of the prison administration in the justice department, now under the supervision of Mrs. Mabel Walker Willebrandt. Those seeking the inquiry say they have no desire to threaten or promote an investigation of Mrs. Willebrandt, but they have received .evidence indicating the present system of prison administration needs investigation and remedial legislation. In the senate Senator William Borah of Idaho has been suggesting abandonment of the spy practice and in the house the proposal for investigation is being led by Representative John J. Boylan (Dem., N. Y.) Mrs. Willebrandt brought about Snook’s dismissal after he had informed the department he would rather resign than submit to the spy practice. Justice officials contend his dismissal had nothing to do with his offer of resignation and they claim to have evidence indicating many cases of what they call “insubordination” by Snook. Just what this evidence is, they have declined to reveal. DENIES R. C. A. MERGER W’estern Union Head Scouts Rumor of Consolidation.

and attempted to block a grand jury investigation of the now famous “surf-to-sand” journey of the evangelist. Following the states evidence, ! senators w’ili ballot on each of the five articles of impeachment. In an impassioned plea for his I client late Monday, Fred Nimmo, one of Hardy's attorneys, said that ; while the judge was a friend and supporter of Mrs. McPherson and the Four Square Gospel, he broke no laws in offering advice to his church and pastor. “Would you dehumanize a man just because he may have been

guilty of an error in judgment?” the attorney asked the senators. Rex Hardy, son of the defendant, argued on the charge that his fattier had intimidated Wallace Moore, a Santa Barbara newspaper man, who has partly identified Mrs. McPherson hs the occupant of a car with Kenneth Ormiston, Angelus temple radio operator, at the time she was supposed to have been a captive of kidnapers. “I think you will agree," Rex Hardy said, “that it is a rare newspaper man who can be intimidated.” The white haired judge listened with pride as his son pleaded for acquittal.
