The lord mayor was in a semi

He has grown much more emaciated

one of his periods Of consciousness
he sent greetings, through his
brother, Sean, to the huger-striking

and it is feared the casualty iist Is
heavy. The fighting centered about
North street.
1t is definitely known that one
man was killed in the North street
encounter.
There was another bitter fight at
the docks between shipyard work
ers and union dock workers and one
docker was killed by the misdirect-
ed fire Of his own party.
Matters finally became too hot
for the Sim Feiners and they were
dislodged with the aid Of an arm
ored car. The shipyard workers in
their zeal to help the soldiers be-
came a nuisance and the command
ing officers asked them to With

House Rejects Former Ac-

Nashville, Tenn, Sept. /. - The
Tennessee house Of representa-
tives expunged from its journal all
record of ratification of the fed
eral suffrage amendment and vot-
ed to non-concur in the action Of
the senate in ratifying the amend
ment.
Nashville. Tenn, Sept. 1.-(By
United Press. THE action Of the
lower house of the Tennessee leg
islature in revoking its ratifica-
tion Of the suffrage amendment
will not knock the amendment out
Of the constitution, Attorney Gen.
eral Frank M. Thompson declared
today.
Il think the vote of the house
was final and that the proposed
amendment is now a part of the
federal constitution" Thompson
said.
Seek Connecticut O. Z.
Washington, Sept. 1.-(By United
Press. Suffrage leaders today an
nounced they will start immedi-
ately . vigorous campaign to get
Connecticut to ratify the 18th
amendment, granting national en-
franchisement to women.
While officials Of the National
Woman's party said they had nc
doubt yesterdays action Of the
Tennessee house in resembling itl
previous approval of suffrage was
illegal, they declared the effort tC
get, another ratification, will be re-
doubled to remove question Of the
validity OF the amendment.
Causes Surprise.
The action of the Tennessee
house late yesterday in voting to
rescind its ratification Of the gen.
eral suffrage amendment surpris-
ed suffragists and government Off
cials who were studying possible
effect OF the action today.
There is no precedent for the
situation which has been created
but informal opinions here were
that the vote yesterday will have
no effect whatever.
1t was pointed out that Tennes-
sees certificate Of ratification had
come to Washington and been ap-
proved. and that Secretary Colby
had proclaimed the amendment.
Courts, according to government
attorneys, are usually reluctant tc
60 behind action Of this sort.
Can Not withdraw, Belief.
The best legal opinion here also
was that Tennessee cannot now
withdraw its ratification. The
question, however, has never been
finally settled.
Tie most serious aspect Of the
case as seen here was that the
legality Of women's votes may be
called into court.
The question may be settled
suffragists hope. by the calling Of
a special session Of the Connecti-
cut legislature, which they say has
been promised them. If Connects
cut should ratify, there would be
| 36 states ratifying without Tennes-
see.

'POLISH.REPLY

NOTE RECEIVED

s'But Must Consider
Consequence"

Washington, Sept. 1-(By The
Associated Press. POLAND has an
swered the admonition of the Unit
ed States that the Polish armies
halt at the ethnographic frontier of
Poland, with the statement that
strategic considerations must gov
ern Poland's course.
Formal reply from Warsaw to
the recent American note was
handed to the state department
yesterday by the Polish minister.
While Official comment was lack
ing, it was learned today that the
Warsaw government, although ex-
pressing agreement with the Ameri-
can contention that Russian terri
tory should be respected. pointed
out that it was forced to consider
the serious consequences which
might result should the Polish
counter offensive against the soviet
armies stop at a fixed line without
satisfactory guarantees from soviet
authorities.
Poles Attack.
London, Sept. Polish forces
have attacked Lithuanian troops
near Augustowo. about 30 miles
northwest Of Grodno, according to
a telegram from Kovno. to the Lith-
uanian representative in London.
The repulse of Polish attacks all
along the line is reported in the
Russian soviet official statement Of
Tuesday, received here today by
wireless.
Warsaw, Aug. 31.-Polish forces
advancing toward Grodno have
nearly reached the banks OF the
Neiman river which flows toward
the north past Grodno, says the re-

ing the carrying on of feeding Of

with the Polish peace mission, but
when they arrived there they were
made virtually prisoners. They
told the correspondent Of The As

city they had encountered difficulty
on every hand in convincing soviet
authorities they had no Interior
motives toward Russia.

Unable to Prevent Cor

By DAVID LAWRENCE.
Especial to The Argus.)

Chicago. ILL.,, Sept. About all
that the investigation Of campaign
finance by the United States senate
has revealed thus far-and proba-
bly, all that it ever will reveals
that the laws of the United States
and the individual states do not
adequately protect the American
people against corruption.
Both the Republican and Demo-
cratic leaders who have testified
make it clear that there is no way
Of telling just how much money is
raised inside the states for ma
tional purposes either by organic
ations ostensibly Independent Of
the regularly formed political COM
mittees Of the states Of the union
such as the Hughes alliances of
1916 or the Anti-Saloon league or
the liquor dealers associations or
any other institutions interested
in electing or defeating the can
didates of the different parties.

was willing to impute motives of
corruption to his respective polit-
ical foes. and while there was an
occasional statement that seemed
for the moment sharp. the best of
feeling and good nature character
:zed the investigation. One almost
got the impression that the Repub-
licans and Democrats who organ
lied the campaign would breathe
q sigh Of relief If laws were. en-
acted to- prevent Independent or

which the national committees are
today powerless to prevent being
done either in the name Of Repub-
licanism or Democracy. Indeed,

ed Homer Cummings to make some
suggestions Of possible legislation
that would purify elections and he
indicated that 1t wouldn't take

spective experiences.

U. S. Machine Bursts Into
Flames and Plunges to

Morristown. N. j., Sept. 1.-Two
men, unidentified, were burned to
death in a government all-metal
mail airplane this morning which
went down on James street, this
city, at 1880 today. The plane was
flying at a low altitude and the
pilots seemed to be experiencing
trouble with the engine. Sounds
of backfire were heard and the far
mers in the vicinity who were
watching its maneuvers saw the
plane take a sudden dive and burst
into flames. It hit the ground with
a terrific thud and tremendous
explosion occurred, throwing mail
bags hundreds Of feet in every d.
rection.
Trapped, Flyers Perish.
The pilots were pinned under the
wreckage where they died. Al
though the bodies were not charred
beyond recognition, their clothes
were burned nearly off and it was
impossible to identify them through
this means.
A notebook found in the wreck
age contained the name of T. T.
Miller and collar was mark
ed T. R. L. The mail bags bore
the tags jefferson terminal. Chi
cago, and carried mail for Ohio,
Nebraska and South Dakota.
A great portion of the mail was
completely destroyed. Some was

ers in the vicinity.
