'SUBMARINE THIEF
Continued en Pace The, Column One
David S. Paul, nfttfr he had been
Ptrtick repeatedly en the head with a
leaf from an automobile spring by Frank
3. James and Raymond W. Schuck,
plended for his life and begged te be
taken te Cooper Hospital, premising te
say thnt be hnd been attacked by ban
dits and found by James and Schuck,
Prosecutor Wolverton made this
charge today In opening the common -wealth's
case Against James, nt the sec
ond dny of James' trial in Camden
courthouse, for "fcaul's murder. This
additional and bruWl detail of the story
f the murder had net been revealed
by the prosecution in its preliminary
tntements concerning the crime.
"Paul asked James nnd Schuck te
take him te the Cooper Hospital," said
Mr. Wolverton dramatically, "and
premised them he would say thnt be
had been held up at Delaware avenue
and Market street, and that James and
Schuck had found him and taken him
te the hospital."
Finally Deaten te Death
Instead of complying with his plea,
the prosecutor declared, the two men
drove with their victim toward the coun
try. At an out-of-the-way spot, be
tween Marlton pike and the Dnlrd ave
nue bridge leading Inte Ferrest Hill
1 nrk, the car was stepped.
"Paul flecmn again te have recev-
i'cd his senses," said the prosecutor,
'and bi'ggcd them te let him go, and
tiid if they wanted the money te 'take
it, but te let him go.
"Instead of heeding his cry te be re
' .ised he wns again beaten ever the
head, first by Jnrees and then by
i buck, with a piece of nn iron spring
ibeut ten or twelve inches long and
hi. and one-half Inches wide aud one
half Inch thick."
The authorities have net given out
i fore that the aged victim had begged
fr his life twice Instead of once. Ner
hud the positive assertion been made
that Schuck had taken part in admin
istering the beating which caused Paul's
dfftth.
The Jury was completed at 11 :40
o'clock, and Mr. Wolverton at once be
L'an his eddresj.
James Leses Composure
During the selection of the Jurers and

for Prosecutor Wolverton te begin his

Fall's statement te the press jestcrday4
after n long conference with President
elect Harding, it became apparent that
what the Republicans are nrrUIng at
Is n modification of the present Icagui
of Nations Inte a conference of nntlenT
antl the erection nf ii unrl,l f.-nrt
prebaliij en the basis of the Hagus

The League of Nations Is likely t
be preserved, but modified into a body
linving no executive authority whateve?.'
It will become n mere parliament of
nations. The fntc of the preserit
league is net settled. What it will h
will depend upon its own nttitudV
tewsrtl this country's nronesals.
If It consents readily te the modifica
tion of Its funcyens It is likely te sur
vive as the new international assecIa'J'
tien. If it docs net, the new Pres
ident will be likely te attempt a new1,
association for purposes of international
conference, formed around the Hagtnf
Tribunal. Senater Fall expressed no
doubt that the present league would
reiniil.v sgree te become, os tie phrased
it, "the skeleton organization" for the t
future association of nations. He V
thought from thc league itself would
come R proposal thut a meeting should
be held In Washington for the develop
ment of the new association of peoples
out of the present association. This
meeting, he thought, held under theift"
circumstances and for this nurpesii
would restore the prestige of this coun
try and Its leadership in International

cause they show thnt even the irreconcilable-,
de net oppose the use of the
jircnent league as thc basis of the com
ing association of nations. Fall Is aa
irreconcilable.
The difference between the associa
tion Harding would set up and the
,','s,",t en- Fn" indicated by em
phasizing the contrast between what he
culled "a league for conference" and
the present league. A league for con
ference would meet nnd discuss inter,
nntieunl ttiestlens. but its decision
would have no binding force. They
could go te the nations for acceptance
or rejection, without an. obligation,
mernl or legal, resting upon the nations
in i t jn litem
In such a league for conference a
representative of this country, or of
an ether, would hnve exactly the
status of an ambassador. He would
present the views of th,. country h.
represented, but unless specially author
ized lie could take no action blndlna
upon his count.
