26-In a statement here last night, Governor James M. Cox let it be understood that he will accept the people's will as expressed in Senatorial elections as Ito League reservations. He said, in part: "The situation is this: I favor going into the existing League with clarifying reservations. Sonator Harding has sald that he was interested in clarification, but in rejection. I have every expectation that after No.

2 much of the partisan spirit that has been visited upon discussion of the League will have subsided. One-third of the seats of the Senate are to be filled year. The people undertheir expression at face stand the issue, and we famille accept "I will, therefore, sit down with the Senate and reach an agreement about our going into this League. There is 110 other, and any talk of a new ASSOcation is but idle phrases. The important thing is to get a start and help to stabilize world conditions, which vitally affect the interest and welfare of America.

"For us to remain out of the League for two years, or until another election could be held. will be unthinkable. If too much has to be given in compromise now in order to insure our entrance into the League, the people themselves will have opportunity to modify and correct later. It cannot be a matter of exercise of the Executive will. The popular will, as voiced at the polls, must control.

The sort of agreement which I shall be enabled to obtain will be determined by the Senatorial elections." Governor Cox's statement does not mean he has accepted or expects to the Lodge reservations. It accepted mean that it he is so unfortunate as to have a deadlocked Senate when he comes to the point of agreement on reservations his primary interest will be to secure ratification, and that in that case he is going to drive the very best bargain he can, always keeping in mind the effect that the elections will have on future negotiations. Kenova, W. Oct. 26-Governor Cox closed his West Virginia campaign here today with another appeal for the League of Nations and a statement that the churches, labor and women were together in the movement, which, he was "sweeping the country." In this connection the Democratic Presidential candidate called attention to statements a year ago of former President Taft, which, the Governor said, prophesied his present view of the situation.

"I desire to pay Judge Taft a tribute." said the Governor. "He possesses a gift which I did not think was his. He has the gift of prophesy. Speaking about a year ago in West Virginia, he said that Labor would endorse the League of Nations because of its Labor provisions; that the churches would endorse it because it is right; and then it the women were given the vote they would all be for it because of their abhorrence for war, and in the last weel it is perfectly apparent that Judge Taft correctly visualized the future. "From the pulpit and congregation comes the same story of religious fervor.

No class has been reading the League more industriously than Labor. I found miners in the mountains of this State thoroughly familiar with it, and the Republicans are having trouble with their women's meetingsall of which bear eloquent tribute to Judge Taft's foresight. "It is sweeping the country." GRAND JURORS ASSOCIATION TO DINE. A get-together dinner will be held by the Kings County Grand Jurors Association on the 22d floor of the Chamber of Commerce Building, on Thursday evening, Nov. 4.

Hearst, same out this morning in support of Dudley Field Malone, Farmer-Labor candidate for Governor, as its first choice and Governor 'Smith as its second choice in the election. The papers have heretofore been lacking the Governor bitterly. The editorial stating its stand this morning states that it is against Miller because he is against direct primaries, municipal ownership and social welfare legislation.

In a' ltter signed oy Hearst he declares that Governor Smith's personal attacks upon him are "wholly that the objection to Smith is that he "is not sincere" and that he "will not do what he says he will do, but will probably have to do some of it if commits himself strongly enough." "li I could get Smith sincerely to pledge himself to progressive legislation I would not oppose him," says Hearst. Coincident with the Hearst announcement, a statement was made in a speech by Governor Smith that "the traction question must be settled by municipal ownership."

PROMPT DELIVERIES. 1. Movie Queen Is High Card In Deck of German Thieves By S. B. CONGER.

(By Cable to The Brooklyn Eagle and Philadelphia Public Ledger: Copyright, 1920.) Berlin, Oct. 26-Queens are low cards in the deck of German hotel thieves. The rooms of the ex-queen of Wurtemberg, who is visiting Berlin incognito with her maid, were ransacked during her absence, the robbery yielding the thieves the paltry sum of 20,000 marks worth of ing and linen, which is scarcely enough when turned into cash, to cover the cost of an evening's entertainment for thieves in the Berlin night-life resorts. A merchant's wife at the same hotel was touched for 170,000 000 marks worth of furs. But the real queen in the rating of the sneak thieves, who operate almost without interference in all the big Berlin hotels, was a modern queen of the movies whose rooms were good for more than 2,000,000 marks in jewelry, furs and other valuables.

She is by no means a German Mary Pickford or MRS. RYAN RESIGNS LEADERSHIP IN HUFF Objects to Speech Before League of Women Voters. As the result of an address delivered before the members of the League of Women Voters last week, Mrs. Wesley Ryan of 1737 E. 21st has resigned as district leader of the organization, as she declared she does not approve of that sort of politics.

The woman who spoke before the league was announced as an ardent worker of the Republican party. After her talk to the members, it is said, she' distributed literature and pledge cards in favor of Harry C. Walker, the Democratic candidate for United States Senate in opposition to J. W. Wadsworth the regular Republican nominee.

Mrs. Ryan yesterday called an executive meeting at her home at which she tendered her resignation and explained reason for her action. "While the league is non-partisan, and each member has his own opinion, believe that if you can't say anything good about your party, to be consistent, I think you should say nothing," she asserted. After Mrs. Ryan's resignation had been accepted, the meeting was turned over to Mrs.

Grace Lease who presided for the remainder of the session. During the latter part of the meeting the members addressed by John Mac Crate, candidate for the Supreme Court on Republican ticket; Alderman H. F. X. Savarese, Republican candidate for re-nomination; Charles Bond, candidate for Congress on the Republican ticket; Maxwell S.

Harris, Republican candidate for Senate; James J. Mullen, Republican candidate for Assembly in the Second District and William R. Bayes. Mr. Harris again issued his challenge to Senator Kenneth F.

Sutherland, to meet him on the public platform and debate the issues of the campaign. Since Mr. Harris issued his first "defy," he has heard nothing from Senator Sutherland. LEGION TO KNIFE BURLINGAME, LEE Election Will Test Voting Power of Ex-Service Men. Assemblyman Warren I.

Lee, candidate Congressman, and State Senator Alvah W. Burlingame, who comes for re-election on Nov. 2, will feel up the full force of the American Legion's opposition in this county when the ballots are counted on Election Day. Both Rublingame and Lee to answer satisfactorily to the questionnaire recently sent out by the Legion's investigating committee on the local candidates' attitude on soldier legislation. Although others also returned unsatisfactory or no anat all, word has gone out that swers these two especially are to be knifed; and the measure of the Legion's ability to carry out its threat to defeat any candidate in the boro who is opposed to its policies will therefore be measured by its ability or failure to defeat them.

No announcement to guide the Levotes has been made by the Legion authorities, beyond the investigating committee's report last Friday, which included recommendations for and against a larger number of other candidates. Every Legion official and almost every post member, understands, however, that that is where the real battle is to be fought. Both Lee and Burlingame come from Flatbush districts. This is the territory of the 106th Inf. post of the Legion, the largest and most completely organized post in the State.

It was in the 106th Infantry Post that the investigating committee started its work. Should Lee and Burlingame, both Republicans, be defeated in a Republican year, the Legion will claim the credit for it; and the fact would certainly be an impressive indication of its voting power in the boro. On the other hand, should they win handily it would mean that the Legion vote, no more than the Labor vote, can be delivered by its leaders. As the Legionnaires are opposed to Burlingame and Lee, they are strongly favoring Brig. Gen.

Charles W. Berry for State Controller. Berry is himself a Legion member and has come out strongly for bonus and other soldier legislation. He is now confined to his bed, unable to campaign; but various Legion officers who are making campaign speeches in Brooklyn include him in a strong appeal for favor at the hands of the ex-service men and their well wishers. Among those who have been campaigning for Berry and against Lee, Burlingame and others thought to be hostile to the ex-service men Bart Hunt, commander of the Kings County organization of the Legion; Lennox Brennan, commander of the 106th Infantry Post: Thomas F.

Ward past. commander 106th Infantry Post; David Armstrong, commander of Old Glory Naval Post, and John J. Bennett, commander of Gilbert J. Doyle Post in Bay Ridge. ST.

THOMAS BAZAAR St. Thomas Aquinas annual bazaar opened last night in the parish house, 4th ave. and 8th and will continue for one week, including Election Day. Judge George J. O'Keefe of the Court of Special Sessions, who has been closely associated with the church for 20 years, made the to help defray the expenses of the new ing address.

The a proceeds will be used parochial school. HONOR JOHN MITCHELL. Oct. 29, called in the coal fields "Mitchell Day" in honor of the late John Mitchell, will be observed this year as memorial day. The principal exercises, arranged under the joint auspices, of the United Mine Workers of America and the John Mitchell Memorial Committee, will be held at Scranton, where a memorial mass will be celebrated at the Church of the Nativity, SECRET COURIER OF MOSCOW REDS SEIZED IN LONDON Scotland Yard Makes Capture.

Prisoner Carried. Papers Personally Vised by Lenine. (By Cable to The Brooklyn Eagle and phia Public Ledger: Copyright, 1020.) London, Oct. 26-The British Government yesterday made its most important arrest since the Bolshevist agitation began in this country. Agents of Scotland Yard, after months of investigation, located the secret courier of the Bolshevist Government, known among Communists and Radicals here a8 "the mystery man," as he emerged from the home of Col.

Malone, one of the radical members of Parliament, with a satchel filled with invaluable papers and documents relating to bands of revolutionists in this country and America. Since his arrest the man has refused to speak or to give his name or nationality, or answer any questions. But on his person were found credentials and instructions from Lenine written and stamped by him personally. The Government has known for some time that the Bolsheviki had a "secret courier" traveling between to lay hands on him until yesterday. London and Moscow, or but were unable The arrest is expected to cause a sensation here, because of the nature of the documents which show Moscow's interest in the coal strike and the British Labor disturbances.

It is stated also that the papers implicate, besides Col. Malone, a number of prominent British laborities. 4 CANADIAN PROVINCES ADOPT "BONE DRY" LAW Ottawa, Oct. 26-Dry forces won victories in four Canadian provinces, Alberta, Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Nova Scotia, in which a general plebescite on the question of prohibiting importation of liquor from other provinces, was submitted. In only one province, Saskatchewan, was there in-.

dication that the result was close. The vote was taken in 'accordance with an act of the' Canadian Parliament, which, refusing to interfere with the rights of the provinces to manage their own affairs, provided for provincial plebescites on the question of liquor importation. WOULD ENJOIN BANK PAYING FOR SUGAR Having made a contract to buy 200 tons of sugar from Java for $109,000, the Norma Chocolate Co. today asked Justice Faber in Supreme Court for an injunction to prevent the Kings County Trust Co. from paying to F.

M. Leavitt Co. $27,150 on a 50-ton shipment. oJhn B. Johnston, appearing for the chocolate company, declared that the second 50-ton shipment was not up to the standard agreed upon in the contract.

A letter of credit to insure payment for the sugar was issued by the trust company. Godfrey Goldmark, appearing for the Leavitt told the court that the chocolate company was caught in a falling sugar market and this action was merely "an ingenious device of counsel" to get out of its contract. "If the sugar ont up to standard, the chocolate company should bring an action against the Leavitt said Mr. Goldmark. "If the courts are not to maintain the integrity of letters of credit, it will be impossible to foster or encourage trade relations.

If the trust company chose to pay for sugar that was not as per contract, the Norma Company would not owe the trust company anything." Mr. Johnston replied that the Leavitt concern was a foreign corporation and that a suit against it would be futile. Justice Faber gave the lawyers time to submit further affidavits and reserved decision. MILD WEATHER HELP IN COAL SITUATION Mild weather is helping out the coal situation very materiall. A continuance of it, the coal dealers say, should insure getting some coal to everybody who needs it.

Receipts for this month are better than for the corresponding period in September, and while there is a scarcity of anthracite. all through the East, there is every prospect that coal in much larger quantities, sufficient to meet the needs of the public, will soon begin to move to the market. No local dealer has been able to fill all the orders he has on his books, orders placed with him in April and in May, but aim of the Brooklyn coa! men is see that every one gets some coal before the cold weather sets in. To do this they are making partiel deliveries, that' is, if a customer has or. dered five tons, for example, he may get three, and so Dealers started to deliver a in rotation sometime ago but when the acute shortage came on and it became evident that it this plan was followed some persons would have their cellars filled with coal while others would have none, the system was changed to insure a quantity getting to everybody.

Just now coal iis going out as fast it comes in. Dealers ask customers, in those cases where the yards are short in the size of coal the customer wants, to take the size he can get 90 as to tide him over. In the latter part of November the Great Lakes are closed to navigation because of ice. At that time great quantities of anthracite will be diverted from the West to the East and the householders here should reap the benefit. Dealers gay that the stringency should then be very substantially relieved.

CHURCH HOLDS FAIR The allied societies of All Saints' Roman Catholic Church, Throop ave. and Thornton last night opened a fair that will continue until Saturday night. It is being held in the basement of the church. There are many well decorated booths containing saleable articles. The committee is making an effort to raise $5,000 for a new boiler for the church.

The Woman Voter The Non- Partisan Senatorial Committee which has been waging a campaign on behalf of women against Senator Wadsworth today sent out a big motortruck decorated with banners, some of which read: "We want a Senator in Washington to represent the people," "Stop, Look and Listen and Learn Why," "Wadsworth's place is in the The truck was in: charge of Miss Elizabeth Collier of Brooklyn and Mrs. Augusta Hueston, chairman of the Non-Partisan Committee. Mrs. Beatrice V.

An address will be delivered by Judge Dugan of Orange, N. and Miss Amy Wren, honorary' president of the association, will act as chairman. CHIROPEANS HEAR POLITICAL TALKS One of the most interesting discussions ever held by Chiropean followed program offered by the club's committee on municipat affairs yesterday afternoon at the home of the chairman of the committee, Mrs.

Herry N. Meeker, 101 Hancock st. Judge Edwin L. Garvin, Boro Secretary Sarah Stevenson, Mrs: Norman S. Dike and Wells Nioman were the speakers.

A few years ago notification that the was coming would have immediately freed the finest suite in the biggest hotel.

Prall, president of the Board of Education, sent a letter to Mayor Hylan as chairman of the Board of Estimate, last night, demanding a conference of representatives of the State Department. the Board of Estimat and the Board Education, in an ffort to ascertain what remedy, it any, the Board of Estimate has in mind for the maintenance and conduct of the public me schools during 1921, in view of the enormous reduction made by the financial authorities in the matter of the budget request of the school authorities.

The letter in part, follows: "I understand that your Honorable Board has granted approvimately $50,000,000 for educational purposes for the year 1921. The Board of Education requested for its general school fund, which includes salaries, fees or compensation of the supervising and teaching staff, including attendance officers, the sum of $72,444,886.98." Mr. Prall then pointed out that including the special school fund the original request was for 114.93, and continued: "After deducting $9,877,65.16, the amount estimated as receivable from the State of New York, our net total request is for $82,026,462.77. "With a true spirit of co-operation under the stress of financial conditions confronting the city as a whole, we are willing to further reduce this amount to the extent of $40,000,000 by limiting the expense or many activities, thereby further reducing the total sum required to surprise $78,026,462.77. we to our stand our allowance by the Board of Estimate is approximately $50,000,000.

"If this entire amount plus State funds is applied to the payment of teachers' salaries made mandatory by law, it will be insufflcient to pay these salaries for the full year and of course, there will be no funds to pay the salaries of the administrative staf, which amounts to $5,446,326.29, and we will be unable to make repairs to buildings or purchase textbooks or other supplies, furnish transportation for chippled children or otherwise furnish sevice necessary for the poper maintenance, opeation or support of the public schools amounting to 901.66. "The crisis is a serious one. It involves the education of nearly 900,000 boys and girls of this great city, over 50 percent of whom are of foreignborn parents. "Undoubtedly you Honorable Board must have been aware of the consequences of your act in reducing our budget so materially and it is inconceivable to think that you have not a remedy in mind. What this remedy may be has not been disclosed to the Board of Education and the serious position in which this board Ands itL self in respect to the proper administration of the schools for the year 1920 makes it imperative for it to demand from the Board of Estimate a conference in which the State Department of Education, the Board of Education of this city and the Board of Estimate may participate, to the end that the Board of Education may be advised as to how the money may be provided for proper conduct of the schools for the year 1921, MISS MARY SANDSTED GIVES TOPICS TALK Eagle Correspondent Relates Experiences to Large Audi- Miss Mary E.

Sandsted, who had so many wonderful experiences in France during and after the war, as the sentative of The Eagle, was the star attraction today at the Talks on Current Topics in The Eagle Auditorium, which was not nearly large enough to hold the crowd that wanted to hear what Miss Sandsted had to say. She told in a most charming, unaffected way of the dark and dreary nights during the war, when the shells from the German "Big Bertha" dropped in Paris, always in a different street and bringing fresh terror to some and fresh interest to others. The scenes on the streets of Paris during the war, with the soldiers of all nations at every hand's turn; the hard work of the women who were left behind to labor in every occupation inade vacant by front the absence of the men at the and many other things were touched upon by Miss Sandsted in a graceful, enay manner that was delightful. In conclusion she told of the Paris of today, which seems as gay and light-hearted as of yore, and 18 ready to welcome Americans and others who may wish to enjoy her hospitality. It was announced that The Eagle will give a reception to Miss Sandsted in The Eagle Auditorium on Tuesday evening.

Nov. 9, to which will be welall the Army and Navy boys who met Miss Sandsted in France, as well as their parents and the parents of the boys who met her and who never came buck. The other speakers today were Harold J. Blackford. "How to Vote," Maurice E.

McLoughlin on "The Building Trades Probe," and H. V. Kaltenborn on the situations in Greece and Ireland. Franklin Taylor, chairman of the campaign committee for Adj. Gen.

Charles White Berry, Democratic canfor State Controller, who is confined to his home by a. serious illtoday asserted that the attack upon Berry yesterday by Republicans was "a dastardly attempt to distract public attention from Republican Candidate 'Wendell's connection with the million-dollar bond steal." The attack of yesterday consisted in the circulation of a story that the State had paid $1,500 for the up-keep of a camp for Gen. Berry near New in the summer of 1919. The attack centered on the so-called "commutation of quarters" allowance -money paid by law to the officers of the National Guard in addition to their regular salary- and insisted that even additional charges for the camp had been paid by the State, including the cost of maintaining certain motorcars and the cost of building the camp. "The attack is nothing more than pinhead blackguardism," declared Taylor.

"It reflects upon those who inspired it. It is a cowardly attack upon a war hero. He was given no chance to defend Allowance a Legal One. "The 'Commutation of Quarters' allowance was absolutely legal. Section the State Military Law provides that State officers shall receive the same pay and allowances as United States Army officers.

All army officers in field receive 'Commutation of even though provided with tentage or other shelter. It is a regular part of their pay. During 1919 Legislature made appropriation providing for is payment to several officers, including Gen. Berry, to make pthe difference between the salaries from the State and the salaries they had been receiving while in the army. "During the entire time that the general maintained the New Paltz Camp, he paid out of his own pocket all expenses and maintenance, although they amounted to more than his allowance.

He even paid the men who set up the camp; also all automobile expenses for personal use, including gas and oil. "The items of motorcar expense referred to had nothing to do with the personal use of automobiles by the general and his family. The machines were used only on official business in the trips to or from camp, in which items of expense to the State were involved. regret that Gen. Berry's temporary illness makes it impossible for him to appear in person at this time, to confute his villfiers.

But les recovering rapidly. He may yet able to take the platform during the campaign." In connection with the reply, Taylor made public leaflets attacking Wendell which will be sent out today allover the State. The leaflets rehearse the story of bond purchases by the Controller's office, how the Controller many times paid prices far above the market quotations on such securities--a story that has been brought to the public attention by District Attorney Swann's investigation in Manhattan. Taylor charges that Travis wag prevented from getting on the State ticket by reason of the publication of some of these allegations in advance of the State convention. He points out that the investigation showed that Wendell's signature appeared on letters authorizing some of the bond dealings; points out that many of the deals were made through Broker Judasserts that Judson was a former employee of Ex-State Chairman Barnes "forced the nomination of Wendell for controller."
