win today and the son of the Dean
of Cornell University was sentenced
to a minimum of three and a half
years in Sing Sing for violation of
parole.
Hammond's famous smile never
left him when Judge Wadhams pro-
nounced sentence. Hammond - "a
years old - has been in a score of
"scrapes." but always managed to
come out on top. He attributed his
success in living by his wits" to his
winning smile"
He was arrested last August for
passing a worthless check for $4,000
on a friend he met at the Harvard
Club in Boston. Judge Wadhams
paroled him on suspended sentence.
Hammond enlisted with the Cana
dians in 1914, deserted while recu-
perating from wounds sustained at
Ypres. re-enlisted with the royal air
force and became a flight lieutenant.

ITALIAN SENATE

plain London Doings.

Rome, Dec. 30.-The senate has
recorded confidence in the cabinet
liz to 13. The vote followed a
lengthy explanation of the recent
London conference by vittorio Scia-
lola, foreign minister. and a speech
on the international situation by
Premier Nitti.
When Premier Lloyd George in
formed him of the contents Of the
allied memorandum to Italy. Scia-
lola said he replied:
Il refuse to accept it,"
The British premier then agreed
he would not press Scialoia for ac-
ceptance, Scialoia added
The memorandum may or may not
turn out to be of Importance, the
foreign minister added. but he said
he considered the verbal assurances
which accompanied it as minimizing
its import.
Scialoia said the press had been
emphasizing Clemenceau's statement
that Italy went into the conference
demanding enforcement of the
secret pact of London plus Fiume.
This statement. the foreign minister
said. was incorrect.
Premier Nitti. who spoke to the
senate following the foreign minis
ter, denied that relations between
Italy and the allies were some
what cooler" They are as cordial
as ever" he asserted, notwithstand-
ing the pending controversies.
