By the Afueclated rrwn
Dublin, Sept. 80. Sinn Fein Ire
land's answer te the British Govern
ment's lnvltntlen te n conference te be
held In Londen en October 11 was ex
pected te be ready for the Dall Elrcann
cabinet when It assembled here today.
Ramen dp Valcra, leader of the Irish
Republicans, conferred with colleagues
yesterday after receiving Prime Min
ister Lloyd Geerge's note, and it was
generally believed that the Irish reply
was virtually decided upon during the
afternoon.
Satisfaction with the tone of the
Prime Minister's communication, ex
pressed by Sinn rein leaders yesterdav
( following Its receipt, gnve the public
reason te believe that the cabinet would
accept the Invitation te the Londen
conference. Lloyd Geerge inade it clear
that the British Government would re
ceive the Irish delegates as "spokes
men of the people they represented,"
but his note seemed te place no ether
conditions en the holding of the con
ference. The phrase quoted, however, ap
peared te be regarded In some quarters
as giving ground for criticism Itic
critics of this phraseology here regar led
It an ambiguous and ns pesslhlj limit
ing the status of the delegates.
The Dail Cabinet meeting was set
for 3 o'clock this afternoon. It nn
net expected that the reply te Lloyd
Geerge would be dispatched before t
P. M.. with the probability that it
would net be given out for publication
unt'l some time afterward.
Belfast. Se,it 30. (Wy A. P.)
Fear that a solution of the Irish con
troversy may net he reached at the
J Londen conference en October 11, should
the British Government's invitation be
accepted by the Sinn Fein, was ex
pressed by the Xerthern Whig today.
In commenting upon Prime Minister
Llejd Geerge's later note te Dublin,
the newspaper said:
"Lloyd Geerge has net permanently
averted n grave crista In the peace n n n
(otiatlens by his reply. 1'nless some
one Is prepared te make a very big sur
render, he has only postponed it.
"The course adopted by the British
Gevenimnt is Open te criticism en
various grounds. It may be condemned
ns undUnlfied pnd larking in courage,
end, therefore, unworthy of the rulers
et a grat empire. It does net neces
sarily indlcnte, however, any intention
en th part of the Government te threw
the crown into the melting pet te keep
company with all that lias nlreidj been
put there."
"In the days te come." declared the

WARRANT FOR MENDENHALL
The hearing of Frederick T. Chan
dler, Jr.. banker and broker, was vcr
brief and te the point this lnernln
when he was arraigned before Magis
trate Carney en a wararnt charging
fraudulent conversion, sworn out by
one of the former customers of the de
funct firm of Chandler Bres. & Ce.
Mr. Chandler was held under $li00
ball for a further hearing In one week,
although he nnnted te welve n hearing
altogether. lie was accompanied by his
attorney, former Sheriff Wlltllinn.
Mr. Glliillan also entered ball in the
nmeunt of $1500 for Karl T. Mcnden
hnll, new in Wyoming. Mr. Mcnden
hull, another member of the firm, Is
technically under arrest also. Mr. Gll
iillan accepted service of n wnrrnnt for
him, then wired him te come Fast nt
once. Other members of the firm for
whom warrants have been issued are
Edward S. Little and Leuis B. War
ing, betli of New Yerk.
Firm Closed July 24
Chandler Bres. & Ce. closed Its
doers July IM, and while there have
been many rumors of warrants te be
issued for members of the llrm, this is
the tirst one te be executed. Abraham
Sickles, a jeweler at 000 Chestnut
street, n former customer of the firm,
charges fraudulent conversion of ?2'J70
in stock nnd dividends.
The hearing room en Spring Garden
street above Bread was crowded with
witnesses and persons nt litigation In
miner cases and their lawyers this
morning when Mr. Gilllllan nnd Mr.
Chandler appeared. They steed in the
front of the hearing room, chatting,
awaiting their turn. Mr. Chandler was
perfectly composed. He said nothing
nt the bar, Mr. Gilfillan doing all the
talking.
"We would like te enter ball," he
suggested. "We prefer te waive a
hearing."
Bail Arranged
Magistrate Carney demurred nt this.
sning lie thought the case should be
deferred for one week, at least, until
it could be ascertained whether the
ether side, net represented nt the hear
ing, insisted upon presenting evidence.
It was settled en this basis, nnd Mr.
(iilfillnn, with the representative of a
bending company, arranged ball.
As he left the hearing room nnd
walked up Bread street, Mr. Chandler
said he could net discuss the case ut
tills time. "The fact is," he said. "I
hove net had a chance te go ever Mie
books in this particular case."
Mr. Sickles, in the nffidavlt en which
the warrant Is based, declares he bought
100 'hares of Swift International stock
at $27 n share November 23, 1020, and
leges the firm fraudulently converted the
stock te its own use and nlse withheld
dividends amounting te .2-H).

The question of whether or net the

Nansen Tells League Assembly
Politics Is Obstructing In
ternational Relief
WOULD UNMASK HYPOCRISY
By the Associated Press.
Gencviv, Sept. 30 Charges that a
systematic campaign te obstruct inter
national relief for Uusln was being
waged by Interests which had political
ebjcctR In view were made in the As
sembly of the League of Nations today
bv Dr. Fridtjof Nansen, high commis
sioner of the International Committee
for Russian Relief.
Dr. Nunsen's charges were made in
a speech which he delivered after the
Asemblv had decided, en a report pre
sented bv Delegate Metta of Switzer
land, that the League would net ask
the nations of the world for funds te
feed Russia.
Dr. Nansen. aroused by this action,
made a lengthy appeal for Russian re
lief. He claimed there had been mis
representation in some section of the
press regarding his plans for relief. The
uhele situation was being systemati
cal! misrepresented, he declared, nnd
It was perfectly evident that tliis cam
paign came from some central source
from eme one who had a political In
terest in obstructing Russian relief.
Dr. Nansen said lie thought this
campaign was due te fear in some
quaiters that relief for Russia would
strengthen the Soviet Government. He
did net think such would be the case,
but even if it should be. he nsked. "Is
that any reason for allowing 20,000,000
persons te starve?"
Dr. Nansen defended the agreement
he had made uith the Soviet Govern
ment for joint supervision ei reuei
work. ,
"The success of Herbert Hoever B
work, as well ns mine, depends entirely
upon the co-eperntlon of the Soviet
Government," he said.
Dr Nansen expressed hope that the
nations would take the initiative nnd
reverse the deci"len of the Assembly
by coming forward with money.
Sweden. Norway. Ciecho-Slevakia, the
Cnlted States. Canada and Argentina
already are contributing.
"Half the cost of a battleship would
save thousands of Russians," cried Dr.
Nansen. "and yet I am told the nations
have net the money for this purpose.
If this 1b se let them say se. Let there
be no hypocrisy."
Dr. Nansen appealed te the world te
net before it was tee late. Grain wa3
retting In the grnnaries of the United
States, he said, nnd Canada alone could
expert enough grain te save Russia
from starvation.

by Mayer Moere today. Anether move,
which will make the line still further ,
independent of the Philndelphln Rapid
Transit Company, nccerdlng te Transit
Director Twining, will be te build a
short spur from Arch street making the
terminus of the Frnnkferd elevated at
Market street.
Mayer Moere made his announcement
during an inspection of the new curs
being built for the line at the J. O.
Brill Car Works. Sixty-wceud btreet
and Woodland avenue. The car en
exniuitien was .no. dei, and was
lettered
ettcred "Frankford Elevated, Gity of
hiledelphia."
"This tjpe of equipment," said
I'
Mayer Moere after the inspection. "Is
the result of the combined judgment of
Director Twining, of the Department of
Transit, nnd of President Mitten, of the
P. R. T. It is built te comply with
the joint specifications of the city and
the P. It. T, nnd all the new features
of modern transit equipment have been
recognized in its construction, with the
view te unifying the P. It. T. system
and the Frankford elevnted ; but, ow
ing te a delay ln reaching nn agreement,
a form of which was sent te Council
Inst March, we are prepared te oper
ate the Frankford L as a city unit, be
cause we have no reason te wait en an
agreement.
"Going Ahead Anyhow"
"We nre going ahead with the Frank
ford U anyhow. These cars will be
delivered before spring and placed ln
operation then, according te present
plans. Today I signed a contract for
the completion of the third rnil system
en the elevated from Bridge street,
Frankford, te Arch street, Philadel
phia. The contract price was $150,
(KM). "Yesterday Director Twining placed
contracts for the construction of power
stntiens, nnd the necessary equipment
for these stations. Thi3 virtually com
pletes equipment for the Frnnkferd
elevated."
Director Twining, en the way back
from the car works, said he favored
continuing the Frankford L te Market
street, instead of Arch, Its present ter
minus. He said :
"We nppreve this plan nnd will make
plans te build n leading platform at
Market street connected with the
Frankford elevnted.
Included In the, inspection party were

The Mayer was particularly inter
ested in subway and surface cars of
various types being built for certain
Btreet and suburban reads ut Brills,
and said the rallless car, that derives
power from an overhead wire by means
of a swinging pole, might solve many
of the city's transit problems.

margin that the hand never wns visible
te the nudlence.
