After the formal signing of the treaty, conventions and protocols, Secretary Hughes announced the decision of (iuatemala and- Honduras to submit their boundary dispute to President Harding for nrbit ration. This decision was described by Senor Laitour as "the first practical result of the conference." Costa Rica refrained from signing the convention establishing, with certain restrictions, free trade between the signatory powers.

He or nt least himself with the aid of the rest of the Commission put over this order without adequate public hearings, and now he offers to hold a hearing, after the lob Is done, on the question of whether or not he and his Commission shall consider undoing it. There was never, to my knowledge, a bearing on the terms of this order. There were public hearings In the rate case mostly held at Albany, and so far as my recollection goes. I don't think the South Brooklyn Board ever had a notice of them. Xo order vitally affecting a section such as this order does Brooklyn should be promulgated without public hearings in the city affected.

How is the public lo reach Albany day after day to make its attitude understood, even if nub ile hearings are held up there 150 miles away? "And it is not only the telephone situation. The unfair attitude of the Commission includes also its aclinns in respect to gas rulings and other things, and it is time we had a thorough houserleaning all along tin line." I ALLIED WARSHIPS TO LEAVE1YRNA Threat of Force if Ultimatum is Disobeyed. Britain to Ignore It. (lilt 'lie Assoclaleil 1'rrxx.) Constantinople, Feb. 7 The Turkish commander at Smyrna has informed the commanders of the Allied warships there that iej has orders to enforce their withdrawal if they do not comply with the Turkish order to leave Smyrna.

Constantinople dispatches, dated yesterday, announced that the Turks had notified the Foreign Commissions in nople that after today no foreign warships exceeding 1.000 tons might enter the harbor of Smyrna, and that no two ships of one nation would be allowed there at the same time. The Allied High Commissioners protested to the Angora Government against the order, and as a result of a conference of the Allied admirals the British Admiral Nicholson, on board the British cruiser Curacoa, was ordered to proceed to Smyrna. The Constantinople advices Indicated the Powers were disposed to disregard the order. It was pointed out that enforcement of the regulation would exclude the American destroyers, all of which exceed the tonnage specified. The allied high commissioners have addressed a strong protest against tills demand and uttered warning of the grave couseriuenc.es which will follow any attempt at coercion by the Turks.

The French Consvl at Smyrna reports the French colony there as greatly disturbed by the menacing turn of the situation and has re-tfuested authority to embark all French subjects aboard the French steamship Pierre Lotl and the French cruiser now at Smyrna. The Turkish newspapers here publish an order Issued by the military commander of Constantinople calling on all officers, on both the active and retired lists, to present themselves for Immediate registration.

Feb. 7 Responsibility for the execution of Edith Cavell, the British nurse shot during the war in Brussels, lias now definitely been placed at the door of Gen. von Sau-bemveig, according to the Brussels' correspondent of the Daily Telegraph.

The death of Miss Cavell ha.i generally been attributed to Gen. von Hissing, at that time Governor of Brussels but a letter from Baron von Der Lanoken to the German Foreign Secretary, which has but recent Iv been made public, relieves that official of this slur on his name, the correspondent writes. It Is also established that Gen. von Sauberzweig had the power to stay the execution, in order to give time for an appeal to the Kmperor for mercv. To accomplish this Gen.

von Sauberzwt ig would have had only to withhold his confirmation of the sentence of the court-martial. Gen. von Sauhi rzweig, as successor to Gen. von Kraewel, was ordered to institute a reign of terror in Brussels, the correspondent declares, and throughout his administration arrests and condemnations followed one another without cessation.

"President Harding thin afternoon appeared before Congress and caused considerable surprise by insisting that th Senate take a vote on ship subsidy before sanctioning the British debt settlement, which the President formally presented. "Knowing there Is abundant time for ample debate," Mr. Harding said, would be recreant to my belief in the urgency of a decision on the merchant marine bill if I did not renew the request that it be brought to a final disposition. I plead for a decision. If there is a fa-orable majority the bill should be enacted.

If a majority is opposed, defeat will be decisive. There Is a call for Congressional expression, not mere avoidance." The President transmitted to Congress the formal report of tho American Funding Commission, which established 3 percent interest until Dec. 15. 1932, und 3' percent thereafter for tho remainder of tho G2 years over which this obligation of $4,600,000,000 is to run. "The failure of the British undertaking would hove spread political and economic discouragement throughout the world, and general repudiation would have likely followed In its wake." the President said.

"But hi re is faith kept, let it be recorded, and a covenant of peace no less effective than it would be if joining British and American opposition to war were expressly agreed upon." Paying high tribute to the spirit in which Great Britain had recognized this enormous obligation, and pointing out with what promptness the British Cabinet had ratified the terms offered for settlement. President Harding said that the United States had not "driven a hard bargain with Great. Britain" nor, on the other hand, "extended generosity in "Your Commission." he said, "went so far as it believed the American sense of fair play would justify." leaves Details to Congress. The President made no specific recommendation as to what form sanction by Congress should take, as he preferred to leave these details to Congress to decide. He is known, however, to prefer a simple enabling resolution, rather than any elaborate revision of existing law.

Chief interest in tho President's speech, from a political standpoint, centered in his Insistence upon the Senate coming to a decision regarding ship subsidy, which the Hoiish disposed of several weeks ago. The plan now determined upon by Re-publiccn managers is for the House to take up the British agreement at once. Meanwhile, the Senate can dispose of the Army Appropriation bill and then attempt to roach a vote on subsidy. Under this scheme, if it can be effected, there would still be ample time, it is felt, for ratification of the debt compact. "There is time, abundant time, for decisive action on both these tremendously important questions." Mr.

Harding said. "I have brought up the shipping bill because can foresee the possible conflict for right of wav, but it ought and can be avouleit. There is time for essential debate on both, and each carries its own appeal." It was regarded as clear this afternoon that President Harding is determined to put failure of ship sub- sidy, if it does fail, up to the Demo crats. He has said Irom the start that the Kxecutive and the country were both entitled to a decisive vote on this measure. Speaking of the debt agreement, the President "It means vastly more than more funding and the ultimate of the largest international loan ever contracted.

It means a recommitment of the English-speaking world to the validity of it in effect, a plight against war and war expenditures and a rigid adherence, to that reduction and retrenchment which enhanced stability precisely as it disehfirpes ItclVrs to Bonus Rider, Alluding indirectly to proposals to attach to the Congressional act of approval a soldier bonus bill, the President reminded Congress that the wartime authorization for the loans contained in itself a stipulation that when the money was paid back it should be applied to the ie-tirement of Liberty bonds rnd other (ioernment issues. As a part of his statement on tne debt negotiations the Kxecutive read a report from the American Com -mission, headed by Secr-r ry Ion. describing the settlement a "fair and just to both governments" and predicting that it would "make a must important contribution lo international -stability." Mr. Hn i ding's appeal for action ou the ship bHl was prompted, he said, by suggestions tiiat its onpon-n's were seeking to prevent a roll call uu ii. before the end of the session.

Tthe fees and expenses incidental to the examinations of Mrs. Raizen brought both bills up to a total above $10,000 but after several con ferences it was decided to scale both down to the.

round figures. Under present conditions nt the Controller's office, the possibility of the bills going through without a protest is not considered If was stated at that office that th bills iiad not been presented and that nothing had even been heard of thorn. The submission of these bills rounds out the battle of alienists which began shortly after Mrs. Raizen's arrest. The defense lout no time in retaining its own psychiat risls, who found their client to i paranoiac, the most dangerous of maniac known.

The experfs of the delense were Dr. Ishum Har ris, superintendent of the. Brooklyn State Hospital for the Insane; Dr. tedward K. Hicks, visiting specir-list at.

the Kings County Hospital; Dr. Charles W. Pilgrim, formerly presi dent of the State Hospital Connnis sion, and Dr. George H. Ivirby, director of the Psychiatric Institute of the New York State Hospitals.

District Attorney Ruston also re tained mental specialists to examine the prisoner. They were Dr. Ramsay Hunt and Dr. Thomas W. Salmon.

The fees of these experts in both camps have not been made public. The Raizen is considered by all the specialists to be one of the most important that has come up for trial in Kings County. After Mr. Gliekstein was shot, in revenge, ac cording to his slayer, for the wrongs he had committed against her, Mrs. Lena Gliekstein, the aged mother of the dead doctor, fell dead while gazing at the bier of her son: His widow, Mrs.

Anna Gliekstein com mitted suicide by leaping from i window, after the acquittal of Oliver Stone, who shot and killed Kllis B. Kincaid. According to Dr. Meagher and Dr. Senior, MrB.

Raizen faked insanity. They found her a neurotic and "de liberately immoral" but declared she was sane when she shot Gliekstein and was able to consult and advise counsel. Dr. Meagher is neurologist to St. Marys and other hospitals and Dr.

Senior is consulting neurologist to the Kings Park Hospital. ASKS UNTERMYER TO AID STATE TRADE BOARD Albany, Keb. 7 Senator John .7. Dunnigan, successor to Charles C.

Very little remains in the first chamber, one hard days work would clear it. leaving the way open to tho enigmatic door behind which tho Pharaoh may lie. s.till surrounded by the evidence of his earthly splendor.

As one down he feels the heat come up and meet him ut each step. The first chamber is well propor tioned. The walls are covered with a pink rash, like distemper.

The electric lights shone cn the last of the three chariots, or. a beautiful gold couch, its front shaped of lions' heads in solid gold and its back formed of the ra'sed tails of the beasts gracefully arched. Most interest 1.14 ct all was a peep Into the second of the tomb, which is crammed with objects not to be touched until after the opening of the mummy chamber. I saw a dim, confus-'d of objects. among which was something that looked like a new moon in a dark ky.
