Increases Damage
Suit Against Girls
Parents to $4,000

William Erath filed an amended
suit yesterday in district court
against Lewis Raber and Catherine
Raber, 14l8 North Seventeenth
streets, parents of Emily Rabor,
upon whom William was calling the
evening of January II, 1919. He
asks $4,000 damages for personal
injuries which he alleges were in
ficted upon him by the parents of
his sweetheart when they returned
home at 1880 o'clock that evening.
In his first suit, filed two months
ago, he asked only $4,000 damages.
He says, when the parents entered
the room and found him with Emily
in the second-hoor apartment where
they live, Mr.. Raber attacked him.
When William tried to escape down
the stairs, he alleges, Mrs. Raber
tripped him and he fell to the bot
tom, breaking his leg. He says he
will limp the rest of his life. His
medical bill, he says, was $241. A
suit worth $40 and a hat worth SIS
were destroyed by Mr.. Raber, he
alleges.

by George NJ. Cohan at a meeting

Mr.. Cohan announced the Pro

Although the Actors Equity as

contract which Mr.. Cohan read,
it was generally believed that
the clause was intended to cover
the Actors Equity association as

"Thc reputation of the pendingy

be useless to press their requests
further since their utterances while
in Ireland had offended British
statesmen.
Great Britain, the speakers said
had drawn the United States into the
league to help guarantee such "out-
RACES" as it was committing in
Ireland. AT the same time, they
asserted, England had been careful
to preserve sea power which gave
her a grip On every quarter of salt
water in the world" and which,
under the present circumstances,
could be intended for use only
against the United States.
Extend Time to Irish
Although the committee origi-
nally had allotted only two hours to
the hearing, when presentation of
the Irish cause had been fairly
launched it was voted to extend the
time for as long as the speakers de-
sired. They took most of the day.
A brief opposing the views ex-
pressed by the witnesses was filed
with the committee by Albert E.
Kelly of New York and five others.
The brief protested against the at
tempt of representatives of faction
in ireland, known as the Sim Fem
party, or of any kindred organiza-
tons favoring their movement in
the United States to bring the Irish
question into discussion of the peace
treaty.
Brief Not Read.
The brief was not read, but was
ordered put into the record of the
hearing. The signers said they
were Of Irish birth and "just plain.
hard working American citizens
with no axe to grind"
The Sim Fem faction" the brief
set forth, has no right to take part
in the discussion of the league of
nations, because it failed to support
the allies, Sin the war, conducting a
propaganda hurtful to the allied
cause and giving aid and comfort to
the enemy by creating strife and
turmoil at home"
Statements that Ireland has not
self-government were denied, the
brief saying the Irish have the
franchise, have a representative gov
eminent and are subject to laws
made by parliament in the same
manner as for England. Scotland
and Wales.
Ireland is not suppressed religi-
ously nor industrially, it was de-
clared and never has been one di-
vided nation, approaching unity only
under British rule. Injection of
the Irish question into American
politics, it was argued. would create
racial and religious issues foreign to
the principles of American life.
The hearing today attracted I'M
usual attention, an extra detail of
police being necessary to keep the
spectators from crowding the com
1nittee room beyond its capacity.
