LEAGUE OF IVA TTONS COULD GIVE IRISH HOME RULE
 WILSON TELLS LABOR
Ireland'S Case Was Not Within Jurisdiction of
 Peace ConfereeS. ARTICLE II IS
 PEOPLES FORUM

On Board President Wilson s Special, Sept. i7-Setting forth publicly for the first time his interpretation of the League of Nations Covenant as it affects Ireland, President Wilson said in a statement today that the league would constitute a forum before which could be brought all claims for self-de- termination which are likely to affect the peace of the world.
 ''The covenant would not bind the United States to assist in putting down rebellion in any foreign coun- try" he asserted, nor would it limit the power of this country to recog- nize the independence of any people who seek to secure freedom"
 He said Ireland's case was not heard at Versailles because 1t did not come within the jurisdiction of the peace conference.

COMPANY B DID
 NOT TAKE GUN
 NOW IN BOSTON
Cannon Captured by New Haven Company Was Sal
 vaged by French.

New Haven, Conn, Sept. 17-An official inquiry by the northeastern department awards to the 1O4th Unit ed States Infantry the capture of the 2l0 millimetre gun now on Boston Common, over the claim of Company B of the 1O2nd Infantry
 The question of permanent location of the trophy had provoked contro- versy as New Haven claimed it be- cause Company B was originally formed here and had officers from this city. The squad which claimed capture belongs here.
 A report was made public by Lieu tenant P. H. English today. The 1O2nd is given credit for capture of gun of like calibre from the Germans in the Chateau Thierry sector on July 21 and 22, 1918, which probably was salvaged by the French in the rear of the 26th Division.

 Fine Stands.

After reviewing the circumstances of the case when he returned home last night Judge Webb of the Crimi- nal Superior court decided that SaEl- uel Steinberg of Greenwich, who yes terday was sentenced to Jail for em- bezzlement, deserved clemency.
