Plan to Curb
Pardoning by
. Mayor Smith
Judges and Prosecutors in
Air Over Release Of Three
Motorists From Jail
By Executive. -.

AS a result of pardoning OF three
.speeders, charged with drunkenness
and reckless driving. judges of the
district and police courts, prosecu-
tors and ganizations interested in
fighting the speed devil declared that
legal steps will be taken to curb the
mayors actions.
4 few weeks ago the mayor de-
clared he would never pardon any
person sent to Jail for reckless driv-
ing or speeding while intoxicated.
Three of the men pardoned this week
were found guilty OF these offenses.
The men pardoned by the mayor
are:
Ernie Ryan, owner of a taxicab
stand at 1905 Farnam street, SEN
fenced by Police Judge Foster to 80
days, appealed to the district court,
and sentence affirmed by Judge
Troup, September 3. Time spent in
jail, II DAYS.
John Schu, Clairmont Inn, SEN
fenced in police court to Is days in
the county jail, appealed, sentence
increased by Judge Troup to Is
days, September 3. Time spent in
jail, II days. .t
+. E. Mason, who had served
seven days of a 30day sentence in
the county jail for drunk, reckless
driving and driving on the wrong
side of the street" !
i Ryan's attorney declared that
Ryan would be pardoned by the
mayor after Judge Troup sentenced
him.
Judge Troup was indignant, and
declared that ''the mayor hasn't the
right to pardon" "The lives of our
men, women and children are too
precious to be risked by these men
who insist on driving recklessly,"
continued the judge
Police Judge Foster said there is
only one thing to infer from Mayor
Smiths actions. namely, that he
doesn't think citizens have the right
to be protected against speeders."
Tn the future" he said, I'VE will
try reckless driving under the state
statute. The mayor can't pardon
men convicted under the state stat
ute"
The only one of half a dozen
speeders sentenced to jail this month
who remains in Jail is 7. NJ Todd,
1902 Center street, who was tried
and sentenced under the state law.
He is in the Jail hospital badly in
jured as a result of collision. !

Commission to
Probe Charges
OF Atrocities
Body of 100
Americans Will Hear Evil
dence in Recent Outbreaks
In Ireland.

New York. Sept. 15.-Oswald Gar
rison Willard announced tonight that
100 representative Americans had ac-
ceptedl the invitation of his maga-
zine, the Nation, to constitute a nom
partisan commission to sift charges
OF atrocities in Ireland, made against
ore another by the British govern
nent and the Sim Fein. The an
nouncement says the committee of
100 on Ireland, as it will be known,
feels that some neutral action is
necessary in order to preserve An
glo-Saxon friendship and to prevent
the spread of ill-will with the pos
sibility of such irritation driving the
United States and Great Britain into
war. -
The Invitation says that one grave
result of the present situation is "the
rapid growth of anti-British feeling
which seriously threatens the un-
speakable calamity of war between
the United States and Great Britain,
and endangers the. peace of the
world" -
The program is not fully devel-
oped. but its sponsors suggest that
the British government, Sim Fem
and others be asked to present evi-
dence. The committee, it iss said,
will designate from its own fnem-
bers, or outside, small commission
to hear testimony and make "a
thorough and impartial report" The
committee plans to begin sessions
in Washington early in October.
The announcement says:
at is understood that President
De Valera is ready to appear before
such body and that Mrs. Mac
Swiney, wife of the imprisoned
mayor of Cork, will cross the ocean
for the same purpose. The English
point of view will be presented
equally fully. The project does not
contemplate any recommendations
in regard to future political relations
between Great Britain and Ireland"
Mr.. Wizards statement says that
the committee includes United
States senator's, representatives in
congress, mayors. Judges, and lead
ers in professional, busines and labor
circles. A partial list of acceptances
is made public. including Senators
Ashurst of Arizona, Spencer of Mis-
