NEW FRENCH PACT UPHOLDS RIGHT OF WAR FOR DEFENSE Plan to Further World Peace Protects League of Nations Covenant. Paris, April 21 (P)-France in her draft of a treaty for the renunciation of war reserves the right to wage war for defense and in fulfillment of obligations under the League of Nations Covenant. The French draft of a multilateral pact was presented to five Powersthe United States, Great Germany, Italy and Japan yesterday for consideration in preference the plan of Secretary Kellogg.

Has Release Clause. The object of the treaty, which was made public today, was defined as humane effort to achieve a union of civilized peoples through the common renunciation of war as an instrument of national policy."

The treaty specifically provides that it shall not infringe on the rights or relieve from the obligations of signatories under other international arrangements. All are pledged, however, to' seek the settlement of differences among themselves by peaceful means. WOULD FORCE L.

I. TO INSTALL LIGHTS AT FATAL CROSSING 1 Coroner to Appeal to Public Service Board After Inquest Into West Babylon Crash. (Special to The Eagle.) Babylon, L. April 21-An inquest was held last night into the death of three men in gradecrossing accident at Little East Neck West Babylon Saturday night. Coroner John B.

Healy said he would recommend strongly to the Public Service Commission that the Long Island Railroad Company be compelled to install flasher lights and bells in addition to watchman on duty at this crossing. Five persons, the coroner stated, have been killed at the crossing in the last 18 months. Prior to last Saturday night a watchman was on duty there only until 10 o'clock. The acrident occurred at 10:41, and the Public Service Commission now requires the railroad to keep a watchman there 24 hours. Mr.

Healy urged every one to use every possible influence to get better protection, adding that while the watchman was sufficient protection during the day he believed the flasher lights to be essential at night. Other Crossings Cited. There was insufficient evidence to hold the train crew -Motorman Irving Pearsall and Conductor William S. Hallock of Babylon. Mr.

Healy also urged more protection for the Litchfield ave. and the Cooper crossings, both of which, he said, were dangerous and the mer wholly unprotected. Witnesses at the inquest included the widows of the men killed Mrs. Sebastian Kenney of 188 Hall Brooklyn, and Mrs. Thomas Greer: and Mrs.

John F. Dillon, both of Babylon. Others appearing were Reginald Pearsall of West Babylon, William C. Kraft and Mayor Robert N. Overton of Babylon.

The Mayor declared and that the situation should be that a the crossing was very dangerous remedied.

Staten Island Farm Colony, Haven for Brooklyn Women, A 'Harbor of Hopelessness' The Sea View Farm colony on Staten Island is almost a harbor of hopelessness. The women from the Women's Chronic Division of Kings County Hospital, who are being sent to the colony, now that their old home has been held a menace by the city fathers, are going to find a place that may not be a fire-trap, but which has a great many other disadvantages. Not the least of those disadvanbut, of the course, transportation not the which most serious, one has to take to get to the farm. If the Brooklyn women have any friends who call on them on visiting days, those friends are going to find it a hard task to get to the hospital, unless, of course, they take taxicabs. Riding up that long hill on that precarious jolting trolley car, and then changing to that demure trackless affair- doesn't seem as if there would be many visitors.

A Hopeless Place. Sea View Farm has, so far as can be learned, no violations against it, as far as the fire laws are concerned. The Health Department has also given it its approval. Some of its buildings are modern, but the one which is to house the women from Brooklyn, is not modern. It is one of the old brick buildings in the colony, with wooden staircases and with a great deal of old wooden trimmings scattered here and there.

The greatest drawback to the institution, it would seem, is the psychological one. It is such a hopeless place. A visit to it yesterday, even when it was warm, left only an impression of emptiness, and of old men and women just existing, that's all. Ancients, tottering about in clothes that seem on the verge of falling off. Ancients who mumbled uncertainly.

Ancients who sit, or walk or lie down. They, apparently, have nothing to do, but they have all the time in the world in which to do it. The whole place, even though it is laid out in a charming little hollow between hills, and even though it is swept by sea breezes at times -it is merely the home of broken-down men and women, Not a Fire Menace. As for the actual building in which the women from Brooklyn are to live out their lives, it is certainly fair. In fact, it is quite likely as good a building as that from which they came.

It has plenty of fire escapes and, although the staircases inside are wooden, it does not appear as if it was a fire menace. But there is not really first-class U.S. COURTS INVOKED TO REMOVE LIEN BY CITY FOR SEWER TAX Novel Complaint Questions Constitutionality of Assessment in Bay Ridge Section. The sewer system of that section of Bay Ridge which is bounded by New York Bay, 89th Fort Hamilton pkwy. and Ovington ave.

was brought for review into the Brooklyn, Federal Court yesterday in an action under the 14th Amendment of the Constitution, prohibits the taking of an individual's property without due process of law. The suit was instituted by Adam Schumann Associates, 7321 against the City of New York. It seeks to lift a lien imposed by the City for non-payment of a $6,900 sewer assessment, which it characterizes as inequitable. As there is no diversity of domicile involved, the acceptance of the in the case by the clerk's office became immediately debatable. Chief Clerk Percy G.

B. Gilkes gave an offhand opinion that the action might have been pressed in the Supreme Court. He accepted the complaint, however, leaving the matter of jurisdiction to be raised by the defense and decided by the court. Bringing the suit in Federal Court wa's considered unique. Claim Drainage Unimproved The plaintiff's property lies in an area bounded by the Bay, 5th Ovington st.

and 83d st. This area, of the total involved, has been comprising approximately two-fifths 1 sessed eight cents a square foot. Another two-fifths has been assessed only one-fifth of a cent a square foot, while the other fifths have been assessed three cents a square foot. The assessments are for the installation since 1920 of relief sewers which amplify a system installed in 1902. The plaintiff contends that the relief sewer has in no manner improved the drainage of the eight cents area, which it claims was excellent with just the original system.

When the assessment was made, according to the complaint, a protest was lodged with the Board of Assessors and was appealed to the Board of Review, which upheld the differential assessment. The only explanation given by either, the complaint states. is that the other two areas will have to install still more ALDERMAN JOINS PROTEST AGAINST PARKING MENACE McCann Deplores the Fire Hazard to School Children Downtown. Aroused by The Eagle's expose of the fire hazard of parked cars ringed around St. Charles Borromeo Parochial School, Livingston st.

and Sidney and the Friends School, 110 Schermerhorn Alderman Patrick J. McCann today took up the cudgels with the Police Department to aid the Rev. Father Dunnigan and Dr. Guy H. Chipman, the principals of the two beleaguered schools.

"Anything I can do to relieve the conditions around these two schools I will be glad to do," said the alderman. "I am having a conference with Inspector Kuhne today on the matter, at Brooklyn headquarters. I went to see him three months ago about the parking of machines all day around St. Charles Borromeo School and was told at that time that all that was necessary would be for the school to paint no parking on its sidewalks." Police Department Helpless. Inspector Herman Kuhne, who is in charge of traffic in Brooklyn, has stated that the Police Department is unable to prevent the deadlock of machines around the schools.

This wall of locked motor cars, in which a new link instantly takes the place of any car that moves out, makes it a physical impossibility for fire apparatus to gain access to the building. Women's. Clubs Aroused. The narrow escape with their lives of two persons held in a fire across the street from Packer Collegiate Institute on Joralemon st. last Wednesday, due to the delay of the firemen in getting through the line of locked cars flanking the street, aroused the Brooklyn Alliance of Women's Clubs to demand relief of a situation to which both the Fire and Police Departments seem indifferent.

That the hazard is even greater on Livingston st. and Schermerhorn st. than on Joralemon obvious, for protection of no parkfor Packer, some years ago secured ing directly in front of its building, whereas the Friends School and St. Charles Borromeo have parking on both sides. Suggests Parking on One Side.

Otis S. Carroll, president of the Heights Association, which with the Brooklyn Safety Council and the Alliance of Women's Clubs is endeavoring to secure some mitigation of the parking evil in downtown Brooklyn, said today that the time would undoubtedly come when all the streets on the Heights would permit parking on one side of the street only. "Something must be done to discourage the use of cars in the downtown section," said Mr. Carroll. "It is a surprising fact that the great majority of the machines parked in the vicinity of Boro Hall and passing over the bridges to Manhattan the morning have one man in them, and that man driving.

Cars Stay All Day. "The amount of parking space occupied by the machine that takes one man to work is a hardship on the rest of those who pass through the business sections. Human nature being what it is, and the policemen being human, many of the cars parked around Boro Hall and the Municipal Building remain there from 9 to 5 despite the one-hour parking clause. It is difficult for an officer, unless he keeps a time chart with the number of every parked car on the chart, to tell how long a car has been at a given point. The owner may have taken it away and come back again five minutes before the officer returns.

"The Police Department really does not know how to handle the parking problem. It is certainly a very diffcult one. I am convinced that eventually parking will be permitted on one side of the street only. This will extend the single parking line for a considerable distance and will mean that car owners will have to walk three or four blocks to reach their cars. As it is now, Magistrates are very apt to suspend sentences when it is merely a question of parking a car overtime.

Parking Around Hotels. "I am glad The Eagle has decided to keep hammering away at this problem until it is solved. I wish it could find some way to encourage the use of taxicabs at night to and from the big hotels. "These hotels bring a large number of people in cars to the Heights for dinner and dancing. Take the Leverich Towers, for Instance.

Cars are parked around it for blocks every night. The same is true the other hotels. But when I go to a dinner at the Hotel Astor I am' not allowed park my car nearby. Why should the streets around 'the big Heights hotels be jammed with machines until all hours of the night? Many of the streets are very narrow ones, and this parking is a fire hazard. Willow where I live, is filled with these cars, when the diners could use taxicabs instead.

"It would seem to be an easy matter for car owners to pay 50 cents to place their machines in garages during the day. There is plenty of space to park cars below the Boro Hall district, down nearer Brooklyn Bridge, also. Firmin Liberty Love lane and many other streets have garages. But, no, every car owner in the Boro Hall district wants his car within a block or two of his office. A three or four-block walk is too much for his physical capacity.

It really is ridiculous to try to crowd the cars along both sides of all the streets immediately off Court st. around the Municipal Building." fire protection for the hospital. Across the street, if one can call it a street. the bigger buildings of Sea View Hospital are served with an engine, which, of course, would answer any alarm at the farm colony. By the way, one doesn't speak of the Farm Colony as Poor Colony-although that is exactly what it Aside from that apparatus, however, the nearest is in New Dorp.

It would take firemen several minutes to answer an alarm. There is, of course, a certain amount of fire protection in the place itself, a company made up of workmen and others. Situated in Valley. The colony is in a valley, back of that community which called, perhaps for want of a name, Five Corners. Officially it is New Dorp, of course, but the village of New Dorp isn't very near, and the inmates of the colony hardly ever see it.

It is called Sea View. But one can't see the ocean from it. From the top of the hill on which the big hospital sits, it is possible to see the oceanand it is probable that the farm colony had taken its name from its bigger and better sister across the road. The colony itself is well back from the road. A long, well-kept path leads down to the executive building, and back of that structure is the one in which the women from Brooklyn are housed.

There are other buildings in the place, of course, all of which house the poor of the city, or officials who take care of them. Its one great advantage lies in its openness. It is in the country as much as any building in the city could be. There are few restrictions about it and to that extent the Brooklyn women may find it of value. Tramp Disconsolately.

But all day long these ancient hulks of men wander here and there about the farm. They sit around on benches or loll in whatever sun there is. One can find them tramping disconsolately along the roads outside the reservation. "The buildings at the farm colony," said Bird S. Coler, commissioner of public welfare, "are in good condition.

Love, bathtub purveyor, who has sold tubs in 42 different countries all the way from Siam to Patagonia, reports that he has received a request from a firm in Vladivostock, Pacific port of the Soviet Union, for a whole carload of white enameled tubs and two carloads of other bathtub fixtures. Department of Commerce figures show no shipments of tubs to Russia in Asia or Europe for the last four vears. Four years ago the Amtorg Corporation bought four tubs. Those seemed to last. Vladivostock, according to Mr.
