FOR ROOTLESS BALL GAME
Ossining Trustees May Have
to Invent Silencer.

Imagine a baseball game with the
fans" not roofing! The trustees OF
the village of Ossining can. They de-
manded last night, in a formal protest
70 Warden Osborne, that there be no
more baseball games on Sunday for the
convicts unless the warden can guar
antee that the peace and quietness OF
the village are not disturbed.
Warden Osborne said that the people
of the village he has spoken TO have no
complaint. and he would be very glad
10 establish mo roofing game II the
trustees would show him how II could
be done. or, better still, he Will abol-
ish tho game if they will tell him some
other form of exercise for the in
mates of the prison.
The trustees, in their protest, state
that if Osborne is unable to guarantee
Sunday peace they feel at liberty to
take what action they deem necessary.

Law ReviSerS at ALBANY
May Shelve Coming
Referendum.
MOVE BY PARSONS

Constitutional Amendment Pro.

10 to 6 in Civil Cases.
From stan Correspondent o, IN. rr.sup.

Albany, April 29-The question of
woman suffrage was again presented
70 the consideration Of the Constitu-
tional Convention in its short session
here to-day. Should the convention
amend the suffrage article and submit
II to the people. the referendum, which
has passed two legislatures and which
is to be submitted to the people next
fall. would Immediately become a dead
letter.
This referendum, which was passed
by the present Legislature after the
woman suffraGists had fought for il
for years, seeks 10 strike out the word
male" from the suffrage article.
The question Of votes for women has
grown 10 be a boGie to some of the
members OF the convention. Some Of
them, who wished TO change the Ian
guage of the suffrage article by strik-
ing out the word male and submit
the article so amended 70 the people,
learned to-day that in doing so they
put this proposition up 10 the men who
DO not believe in woman suffrage:
Either vote 10 enfranchise woman or
vote to disfranchise yourself"
This is really what such an amend
ment would mean, for if the article,
amended and submitted to the voters,
were defeated at the polls, no one in
the state would be entitled TO vote.
The wise heads among the delegates
believe that the convention, following
the suggestion of Herbert Parsons,
would do better TO let the suffrage
article alone. The probl>m OF woman
suffrage would thus be decided at the
polls next fall.
Delegates opposed 70 woman suffrage
are anxious TO amend the article by
changing the phraseology, while care
fully leaving its present provisions UNI
disturbed We're this done, and the
amended article submitted 70 r peo-
ple, il would Immediately take prece-
dence over the referendum, and would
mean that the women would have 10
begin their fight all over again.
Herbert Parsons called attention TO
the seriousness Of the situation to-
dav. when he asked the delegates 10
consent unanimously TO print a reso-
luton which he introduced last Tues
dav urging the delegates not 10 amend
the suffrage article. Mr.. Parsons eX-
planned he wanted the resolution
printed so that be il would be on the
desks Of all the delegates.

Untermyer Joins Confer
enCe with BurleSOn
and Williams.
LAWYER SEES
CABINET MEMBERS
His Friendship with McAdoo
Given as One Reason for
His Appointment.
From Thu Tribun. Bureaul

Washington, April 29.-Dcspitc
President Wilson's statement that the
fight of the Treasury officials against
the Riggs National Bank was not an
administration policy, the fact that
three members OF the Cabinet CON
ferred to-day over details of the case
with Samuel Untermycr the new star
among the legal talent in the service
of the Treasury officials gave much
color 70 the theory that II IS at least
an administration fight against the
Riggs Bank and its allies.
Postmaster General Burleson held a
long conference with Attorney General
Gregory. Louis d. Brandeis and Mr..
Untnrmyer al MIR. Gregory's office, after
which the party went up 10 Mr.. Nc
Adoo's home. where another confer
ence was held. Following this Mr..
I'ntermver took a train for New York.
One of the most curious develop
ments of the day was a statement
issued after D. m, by the Depart
ment Of Justice with regard to Mr..
Untermyer's connection with the case.
This statement said positively that Mr..
Untermeyer had not been employed in
any subordinate capacity" 1t also de-
MED the reports that Mr.. Untermyer
had volunteered his services and even
stated that he had been reluctant 10
connect himself with the case.
In No Subordinate Capacity.
The statement Of the department is
as follows:
"On account Of some erroneous state
ments in connection with the employ
ment of Mr. Samuel Untermyer as
counsel for the defendants in the
Riggs Bank case, it was to-day made
known at the Department of Justice
that Mr.. Untermyer did not volunteer
his services, nor show any desire TO be
retained by the government; that pre-
vious professional engagements made
him reluctant to accept the employ
ment rendered, and that he did so be-
cause of his long years of friendship
with Secretary McAdoo. Also that Mr..
Untermyer has not been employed in
the litigation in any subordinate ca
pacity."
Friends of the Riggs Bank ridiculed
this statement, pointing 70 the visit
Mr.. Untermyer paid Controller Will
Jams when the case first opened, when
he held a long conference with the
Controller. From the time of this
conference until last night it was i'm
possible TO learn from either the De-
partment Of Justice or the Treasury
Department whether Mr.. Untermyer
was connected with the case or not.
The theory advanced by friends Of

REVOLT IN GIRLS HOME

Police reserves from the West nth

night to quell riot among the girls
Of the Magdaler Home for Girls and
Women. Dyckman Street and Bolton
Road. Windows were smashed and
much damage WAS done to the proper

was against the newly installed super
intendent, Miss McConachie.
Those arrested and taken TO the
night court were Lena Rosenkoff,
Kitty Green, Helen Walker. Esther
Meyers, Evelyn Wilson, May Austin,
Molly Stern, Mildred Strang, Mary
Kelly and Marian Bennett. They were

the bank is that Mr.. Untermyer Of
fercd his services, free Of charge, to
Controller Williams. calling attention
to his intimate knowledge Of the fnan-
cial history Of the National City Bank
Of New York and the Riggs National
Bank, and urged that the fight be made
against the same group Of fnanciers
whom he had called the money trust
during the Pujo investigation.
In Supreme Commando
There was much surprise in Washing
ton at the apparently tame submission
of Mr.. Brandcis to the retention OF Mr.
Untcrmvcr. and. if the statement OF
the Department Of Justice means any
thing. his supreme command of the
army Of attorneys who have been mus
tered into the service of the Treasury
Department.
Almost equally surprising was the
sudden change in the attitude OF Attor-
nov General Gregory. II had been as
sumcd from the cold aloofness with
which the Attorney General handled
the entire situation during its early
stages that he would certainly object
TO Mr.. Untermyer being brought into
the case.
Strength was given to this opinion
by the Attorney Generals actions IN
the Brandeis episode II will be re-
called that point Of veracity still ex-
lists between Controller Williams anil
Attorney General Gregory as TO the
date of Mr.. Brandeis's retention. Mr..
Williams declared that Mr.. Brandeis
had been retained by the Department
of Justice "some weeks prior to the
filing of the suit by the bank, while
Mr.. Gregory fatty stated that he knew
nothing of the employment of Mr.
Brandeis until the day the suit was
filed.
Seven Lawyers Modified.
Rumor had ii to-day that still an
other lawyer. Max Pam, of Chicago.
was to Join the Treasury's legal force.
Without counting Mr.. Pam. the Treas
urv officials so far have modified the
following array of legal talent:
Samuel Untermyer. Louis ID. Bran
deis. Attorney General Gregory, Solic-
itor General Davis, Assistant Attorney
General Warren, former Assistant At
torney General Jesse c. Adkins and
United States District Attorney John
Z. Lasky.
OF these Messrs. Brandeis and Ad-
kins will be paid big fees, while 1t is
regarded as almost certain, following
the statement of the Department of
Justice tonight, that Mr.. Untermyer
will also receive big fee. So the
case will be very expensive one for
the government, even if the time OF
the attorneys of the Department of
Justice is not counted.
Former Senator Bailey, who, with
Mr.. Hogan, is handling the case for the
Riggs Bank. laughingly denied tonight
that the bank would strengthen its le-
gal forces.
