SAY REQUIEM FOR GENEVA PROTOCOL GENEVA, March 12.—A requiem for the Geneva protocol was said today by Austen Chamberlain, British secretary of state for foreign affairs. Addressing the council of the League of Nations, Chamberlain announced that Great Britain was unable to sign or ratify the protocol in its present form as it was not believed the protocol provided the best method of accomplishing the task of making peace. He said this decision had been reached after consulting with the British dominions. Members of the league council fought their way thru a driving snowstorm to the hall which was packed when Chamberlain made his announcement. "The British Empire, accepts with sympathy all efforts designed to ameliorate an international organization for the maintenance of peace," British foreign secretary asserted. He then announced Britain's refusal of the protocol. "Great Britain has not contented itself with preaching disarmament. It has disarmed to the limit of national safety," Chamberlain said. He said England was interested in knowing how far the protocol would increase responsibilities of members of the league, adding it was Britain's opinion it would mean new responsibilities and therefore he must recall that "all the world is aware the league in its present shape is not the league designed by its framers." "They did not foresee difficulties might arise from non-inclusion of the most powerful nations of the world," he continued. "Least of all did they foresee that among those not included would be the United States." "The work of the league goes on—beneficial, full of promise. Though the United States remains friendly alongness, individual Wed 75 Years VIGOROUS ATTACK AGAINST QUADRA SAN PRANCISCO, March 12.—A vigorous offensive by government was started in trial of runner Quadra in federal court here today to show that beyond doubt Quadra was actually run smuggling vessel and that where she left Vancouver, B.C. loaded with $1,000,000 worth of liquor she left with no other purpose than to attempt to smuggle her cargo into San Francisco and vienna. Government attorneys produced as witnesses members of customs service who testified that days before the Quadra was captured by the coast guard cutter Shawnee several cargoes of liquor alleged to have been brought down by the Quadra had been found on board two or three small smuggling craft seized by the coast guard service in San Francisco bay. WOOD HITS BACK AT ASSEMBLYMAN SACRAMENTO, March 12.—Thrust into factional fight between administration and anti-administration forces by action of Assemblyman Charles H. Deuel of Chiea in introducing constitutional amendment seeking to abolish office, Will C. Wood, state supt. of public instruction, today hit back with scathing denunciation of Deuel's proposal. The state educator, reported to be preparing to quit California early in April to accept position of supt. of schools of Pennsylvania branded proposal to abolish office as "a pernicious piece of politics." Assemblyman Deuel claim that bill was based on recommendations of special legislative committee on education, which reported in 1830, evoked a retort from Wood to effect that "this measure has no resemblance to any real mean new responsibilities and therefore he must recall that "all the world is aware the league in its present shape is not the league designed by its framers." "They did not foresee difficulties might arise from non-inclusion of the most powerful nations of the world," he continued. "Least of all did they foresee that among those not included would be the United States." "The work of the league goes on—beneficient, full of promise. Though the United States remains in friendly aloofness, individual Americans have helped both with sympathy and service, while the American public has greatly aided some causes of the league." "Problems which even the weakened league had to face, never overstrained its machinery," he said. Chamberlain then criticised the protocol's provisions for controlling land armies. He said that the protocol's means for controlling land armies. He said that the protocol's means for controlling sea forces practically required that nations give up their inalienable right of defense. He said Britain did lot "think it wise to embody generalities in dogmas of inflexible rigidly" and therefore was opposed to the provisions stating that an aggressor state must pay the cost of war while it is protected against a chance of its frontiers. The time may come when the league may have to conduct war, he said, but he believed it would not be good to "brood" over such a tragic possible necessity.

The Teapot Dome annulment case came to a sudden halt this afternoon when Judge Kennedy recessed until tomorrow morning to allow government counsel opportunity to confer with legal authorities on the admissibility of evidence from bankers regarding Liberty bonds coupons that the government charges were received by former Secretary of the Interior Fall in connection with the Teapot reserve lease. Counsel for Harry F. Sinclair had repeatedly objected to introduction of what they characterized as "double hearsay evidence" as much as it came from bank officials who had no direct connection with the actual transactions but depended upon bank records for the basis of their testimony. Adjournment was taken until 10 a.m. Friday. CHEYENNE, Mar. 12—A long list of distinguished bankers from all sections of the country enlisted today’s opening session of annulment suit to break Teapot Dome Naval oil lease, granted Sinclair’s Mammoth Oil Co. Testimony relating to $230,500 in Liberty bonds said to have been received by Former Secy. of Interior Fall was outstanding subject of morning proceedings. Several memoranda concerning storage oil fuel were read into record and stipulation that attorney general of United States had not been asked as to legality of executive order transferring naval oil reserves, following which Hal C. Dunbar, cashier of First National Bank of El Paso, Tex., was called to stand. Dunbar identified the bank ledger containing Fall’s account from Dec. 22, 1919 to April 28, 1924. Defense counsel objected to account claiming such evidence was not relevant to issue at stake. Judge Lacey of Sinclair’s counsel made lengthy arguments in support of objection, after Owen J. Roberts declared to court the bank record would be followed by evidence showing Harry F. Sinclair was connected with deposits and receipts of bonds. BARRYMORE BETTER KANSAS CITY, Mo., March 12.
