Special Dispatch to The rrtbYus

BOSTON, Nov. Ex-senator Henry
Cabot Lodge. IN a speech at a dinner
at the Roosevelt Club in his honor last
night, promised that the Harding Ad-
ministraJion would see to it that i'm
migration laws which would properly
protect the United States from Asia tic
invasiono would be enacted.
Terming the tendencies of the yellow
races to settle in the United States q
menace, Senator Lodge declared the
United States, Australia. Canada and
New Zealand should be banded to-
gether 70 repel this incoming Of Asi-
atics.

Senator Lodge, "to send it's people !,
another nation where they are not wei
come. If immigration can be forced
on us, we are no longer a sovereign
nation.
"Who shall come into the Unite d
States and become citizens is for us
and US alone to settle.
We don't mean war when we say it,
but it cannot be disputed with us I
have no racial prejudice.' declared
Senator Lodge, and added that he took
his position for the protection OF
American standards of living. He also
spoke of need for restricting the
present tide of immigration from

of the European influx he termed unde-
sirable. Russia, he declared, was send
ing to America agents instructed tc
stir up ill-feeiing toward the United
States government.
Senator Lodge accused the Wilson
Administration of spending money in
a way that battles the imagination
There must be economy for the next
three or four years, he said, with no
reduction IN the total amount raised
by taxation
"But we can revise the tax laws" he
added, "in such way that they can be
understood without the aid of q law
YER
The whole revenue tax list would be
revised, the most difficult task of the
Harding regime, he explained. A more
just distribution of taxation and q
larger share OF the. burden levied on
imports were two points he empha-
sized.
Referring to the peace treaty, sena-
tor Lodge pronounced it dead and as
sured the audience that it would not
be heard from in the regular session of
Congress beginning next month.
I've sent the treaty to the White
House he said. 'and there it remains
and will remain.
Senator Lodge promised for Presi-
dent Harding a thorough reorganiza-
tion of the government with appoint
ment Of counsellors from the foremost

Joe Cassidy, Reds Break Off
Former Queens arley; Charge
Boss, Falls Dead Polish Trickery
Dies of Apoplexy While
Seated at Table in Home:
Was Convicted of Election
Bribery in Willett Case
Broken by Prison Term
Won Greatest Battle by
Defeating County Leader
'SBattle Ax'' Gleason

Joseph Cassidy, formerly President
of Queens and widely known and
picturesque politician of the old
school, died unexpectedly in his home
in Hollywood Avenue, Ear Rockaway,
yesterday afternoon.
Death came without warming. Cas-
sldy was seated vt a table, reading a
newspaper when he fell over. His wife
summoned a physician, but Cassidy died
within few minutes. Apoplexy was
given as the cause of death. The one
time Borough President was sixty
years Old
"Curly Joe" was the soubriauet by
which he was known to the politicians
and the followers of the bosses in the
old days, and for many years he was a
lower in the politics of Queens.
Coming up with the younger crowd
in party councils, he quickly gained a
leadership in the ranks OF politics and
he won his greatest victory when he
put his new forces against the battle
line of the one-time and supposedly in
vincible boss of Queens politics-Pat-
rick j. Gleason, known as Battle AK u
Gleason, and defeated that eminent
warrior at his own game.
Wins Greatest Battle
Gleason had long been the predomi-
nant figure in Queens. He ruled with
unrelenting hand and defied those who
would uncrown him. Cassidy accepted
the challenge and won. He was elected
President of the Borough TO the great
astonshment of the old and confident
guard, and Immediately became die
tator, admired for his skill and feared
for the influence which he gathered
about him.
Then came the tragic climax. In the
fall of 1911 Cassidy, following the
nomination Of judicial ticket, was ac-
cused OF being a principal in 4 con-
spiracy whereby William Willett jr., d
one-time Congressman, was alleged to
have paid large amount of money to
Cassidy in return for q nomination to
the Supreme Court bench of the I'd
District
1t was charged that in the creator
of three new judgships Cassidy, as the
leader of Queens, was permitted to
name one or the Judges. he charges
growing out OF the Willett nomination
brought to the surface story that
Wllett had paid cash for the honor
which had been awarded him. 1t was
charged that the money went to Cas-
sidy and the amount was said to have
Teen $4,000.
After long and hard fought court
contest Cassidy and Willett were CON
victed, and Curly Joe" did a bit in
Sing Sing that tasted for ore year and
twelve days. He was paroled and re
turned 10 Rockaway, where he since
had engaged in a quiet way in the real
estate business.
He never attempted to regain his
lost prestige in politics. After his re-
turn from prison loyal friends gave
him dinner. and he was rendered
every assurance that the old guard
was firm in its devotion. But Cassidy
preferred life free from austerities
The long and sensational trial had
changed the character of the man. The
repeated defeats which he had met in

RIGA, Nov. 21.-Peace negotiations
between Soviet Russia and Poland were
interrupted yesterday Adolf Joffe
head of the Bolshevik delegation, told
M. Dombski, chief of the Polish repre-
sentatives, that the work of arranging
for permanent peace could not pro-
ceed until Poland Loyalty fulfilled her
promise to withdraw troops to her bor-
GERS. He added that this declaration
was result of the action of Colonel
Ribak, head Of the Polish section of
the joint military commission at Minsk.
Ribak proposed that scheme be
worked out for the Withdrawal Of the
Polish troops by the establishment OF
a thrty-mile zone between Polish and
Ukralnan troops, and finally asked for
the dissolution of the commission
itself.
M. Joffe emphasized his claim that
the proceedings signed here on Novem-
ber IA concerning the withdrawal of the
Poles excluded these questions. He
asserted Colonel Ribak is planning for
the union of the armies commanded bv
Simon Petlura, Ukrainian leader. and
General Balakovitch, commander of the
irregular Polish forces, which have
been operating in the rear of the Boil
shevik lines southeast of Minsk for the
last three or four weeks.
Break Not Considered Serious
WARSAW, Nov. 81 (By The Associ-
ated Press ).-Newspaper dispatches re-
ceived here assert that the negotiations
between the Poles and the Russian
Soviet delegation at Riga have been
broken off. The dispatches allege that
the Poles have not kept their armistice
agreement. The Poles are described as
expecting soon to adjust the differ
ences with the Soviet delegates and as
not considering the break serious.
The Soviet delegates, according to
the disI atches, charge that there re-
main in parts of the Ukraine several
detachments Of Polish troops east al
the arn'istice line, contrary to the Riga
agreement, which provided for the
withdrawal Of all The Poles to the

taking him to the Panama Canal Zone.
To Mr.. Harding's companions gath
cred about him as he solemnly intoned
the words of David there seemed a
peculiar and dramatic significance to
the simple lines he had deliberately
selected from the appeal of the Psalm
ist, and the lines seemed to become
the personal prayer of Senator Har-

problems.
Look upon mine affliction and my
pain; and forgive all my sins. Con-
slider mine enemies; for they are many;
and they hate me with cruel hatred.
Let integrity and uprightness preserve
me; for | wait on thee"
Reflect His Attitude
Senator Harding made it clear that
the verses revealed and reflected his
attitude toward the assumption of the
Presidency, and his further prayer,
quoting from the same Psalm, was:
Remember not the sins of my youth
nor my transgres essions: according to
thy mercy remember thou me for thy
goodness sake, o Lord"

They observed in the bog what ap-
peared to have been recent upheaval.
They began probing into the mound
With sticks and finally uncovered the
skirts and the overcoat of the priest.
Without proceeding further, they sent

The lorry halted near the spot where
the body was found and the lights were
extinguished. In about twenty minutes
the lamps were relighted and the party
drove away.
When the body of Father Griffin was
brought into Galway to-day it was
placed uncoffined on the high altar Of
the parish church. Huge crowds passed
before the bier, while three priests
knelt near by reciting the Rosary. The
the tragedy was an announcement made

usual sermon and confined themselves
to relating incidents Of the life Of
Father Griffin and paying tribute to
him. They declared the priest had
earned martyrs crown and begged
the congregation to pray for the repose
of his soul, but not to forget also to
pray for his rurderers.
First Priest to Forfeit Life
Although a number Of priests lately
have been i'll treated or threatened,
Father Griffin is the first to forfeit his
life. In fact, no priest has been done
to death in Ireland in many years.

colleague and senior curate, with whom
Father Griffin lived, said in his church
to-day that he had received five writ
ten threats of death since last May
and that he did not dare sleep in his
own home. He added that Father Grif-
fin had never received any threats.
