EARLIER TELEGRAMS.
EIGHT HOUR DAY CONVENTION,
Berne, Sopt. 10,
The conference of Labour Ministers which began on the 9th das concluded. The Ministers agreed to the desirability of reaching a practical international application of the principle of the eight hour day on the basis of the Washington Convention. The German Minister, Herr, Brauns emphasised that he could not accept anything implying any sort of foreign control of German économic legista- tion. He was assured that the position of all countries signing the Convention would be exactly the same and any country doubting the efficacy of the application of eight hour, day in another, may complain to the governing body of the International Labour Ofce which may Inquire into the matter. Finally the complaint may have to be submitted to the International Court of Justice. Herr Brauns thereupon agreed to recommand the ratlication of the Con- vention by Germany.
Mr. Albert Thomas, Director of the International Labour Office, subsequently speaking on the results of the Conference, dociprod that a full and sincère ratification of the Convention was bound to follow.-Reuter,
SENSATIONAL TRIAL ENDS.
Now York, Sept. 10,
The sensational trial has concluded in Chicago, in which Richard Loeb and Nathan Leopold, nineteen year old students in the Chicago University, sons of two Chicago millionaires, wore accused of kidnapping and murdering a fourteen year old school boy, Robert Franks, son of a well-known Chicago businüss ̃man,~from whom the accused were alleged to have demanded ten thousand dollars ransom. Loob and Leopold confessed to the crime. Each alleged that the other struck the blow, which killed Franks. Tho crime was apparently carefully planned.
The defence pleaded for imprisonment rather than death on the ground that the accused were suffering from "mental sickn"."
The case aroused the greatest excitement and the Chiengo police have taken extraordinary measures to prevent a demonstra- tion when sentence is pronounced to-day. Threats to lynch the accused have been freely made, and many persons connected with the case have received anonymous letters from the Ku Klux Klan and other secret societies-Reuter,
-THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS,
London, Sept. 10, Addressing a meeting of the International Fedoration' of Universities at Goneva on the 7th inst., Chao Hsin-chu dwelt on China's claim to the re-election of a non-permanent member of the Council of the League. He said that if the result of the election of non-permanent members was not satisfactory to Chinese public opinion he did not know what the consequences would be. It would,. In the face of the resolution of the Peking parliament and the v'ews of the country, be very difficult for the Chinese delegation when making its report, to meet all objections to continued mem- berahip which would be urged with increasing force. Yet, though the Chinese would be disappolated, though they considered they had not received the consideration to which they were entitled, be assured his hearors that the Chinese would still be warm supporters of the League. He hoped that they would not he, disappolated again at the coming election.--Reuter.

* Rome, Sept. 10.
In the Italian section of the Filene peace prize competition on the 7th Inst. the first prize of 100.000 lire was divided between Pro- Lössors Fedozzi and Arias, who submitted a joint thesis, and M. Cento. The second prize of 30,000 liro was awarded to the deputy, M. Lanzilneo. The third prize of 20,000 lire was divided between M. Colombino and M. Prina.
Barlin, Sept. 10,
Over 4,000 competitors submitted plans in the German com- petition for the Filene prizes. The German prize committee decided that none of the esanys merits the first prize as none entirely ful- Alled the conditions of the award." It was therefore decided to divide the first prize between the writora of the two best essays. —Reuter.
