De Valera and Walsh Fail
To Satisfy Irish Leader
O'Connell Dissatisfied With the
Manner i'm Which Cause Was
Handled at Conventions
| at Conventions

From The Tri6use's Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, July 9.-Dissatisfac-
tion with the manner in which Eamon
de Valera, president of Ireland" and
Frank P. Walsh presented the cause of
Ireland at the national conventions of
the Republican and Democratic parties
is expressed by Daniel r. O'Connell,
director of the national bureau of in
formation of the Friends of Irish Free
dom, writing to-day in this weeks
news letter of his organization.
"The progress of a great cause can
not be retarded" Mr.. O'Connell said,
after explaining what he considers the
reasons for unsatisfactory results at
the convention. "There is work in
plenty for every friend Of Ireland. The
national council or the Friends Of Irish
Freedom built up the American move
ment, the American brains guiding it's
activities are of the best, and American
policies and activities guided by them
will avoid mistakes such as were wit
messed at Chicago and San Francisco"
Mr.. O'Connell remarks in another
place: ut is always unwise for those
who do not understand American poll
tics to play with national conventions"
Mr.. O'Connell holds that develop
ments at the conventions justify the
position of Justice Cohalan of New
York, who sought milder plank. Mr.
de Valera took the position at Chicago
"that a full recognition plank must be
adopted or nothing less accepted" ac-
cording to Mr.. O'Connell

Merchant Marine Act Nav
Revive 1913 Tariff La,U
Would Impose Discriminatory
Duty on Goods Entering
u. S. In Foreign Bottoms

WASHINGTON, July 9 (By The AS
sociated Press) s).-Operation of the
Merchant Marine act will bring into
force the section of the Underwood
tariff law Of 1918 imposing a discrim-
inatory duty Of per cent on goods
entering the United States in foreign
bottoms, in the opinion of some diplo-
mats who have studied the new ship
ping bill
Application of this section of the
Underwood act was suspended by de-
cision of the Supreme Court in 1917
because the act provided that the dis
crlminatory duty should not apply if
IN conflict with any reserved treaty
right. The court held that the section
was in conflict with the provision of
the treaty of 1915 between the United
States and Great Britain.
This treaty, along with similar
treaties with score of other coun-
tries, must be abrogated under the
Merchant Marine law, which authorizes
and directs the President within ninety
days after the shipping law becomes
effective to give notice "to the several
governments, respectively, parties to
such treaties or conventions, that so
much thereof as imposes any such re-
striction on the United States will
terminate on the expirations of such
periods as may be required for the
giving of such notice by the provisions
OF such treaties or conventions"

German Socialist Chiefs

Decision of Leipsic Convention
to Join 1nternationale
Strikes Snag
Special Gable to The Tribune

Copyright, 1920, New York Tribune Inc.
BERLIN, July 9.-The Independent
Socialists have struck a snag in carry
ing out the resolution adopted at their
Leipsic convention, in November. to
join the so-called Third Internationale.
or Moscow organization, which is now
holding congress. The latter took a
distinctly unfriendly attitude toward
non-Russan radicals, demanding that
they get rid of their Thomases.
Kautzkys, Hilferdings and Crispians,
who were pronounced vacillating and
likely to stab the social revolution in
the back.
For the German Independents in
particular ten points were stipulated
eliminating in the demand that thev
amalgamate with the Spartacist, or
Communist, organization. According to
"Vorwaerts," thirty-six Independent
Socialist leaders have just met at Ber-
lin and voted down by a large majority
the demand that they join the Com
munists, "even at the risk of being
excluded from the Third Interna-
tionale."
This resolution was sent to Moscow
by special courier, although the
Russian emissary was awaiting the
answer and was willing to carry it to
Moscow. The whole affair evidently
has had a painful effect npon the In
dependents. "Vorwaerts" calls atten-
tion to the significant fact that "Die
Freiheit," of which Hilferding is the
editor, has completely ignored the
whole matter, even to the extent of
not reporting the conferences decision.

vate session in st. Jamess Palace, with

Clynn; Decides to Return
to Post in House

Representative Bertrand H. Smell, of
st. Lawrence County, who has figured
prominently as possibility for the Re-
publican nomination for Governor. has
decided to return to Congress. He has
served several terms in the House of
Representatives and it is believed by
both Smell and his friends that he can
be of better service to the party there.
Mr. Smell arrived in town yesterday
and conferred with George A. Glynn,
chairman of the Republican State Com
mittee, at the Republican Club. Speak
ing Of the national situation, he said:
"As l view the situation. everybody is
pleased with the ticket and with the
platform, and none of the Republicans
talked with saw any chance of the ticket
losing. Moreover, it is bound to grow
in popular favor"
Congressman James W. Hustled. of
Westchester, is being put forward by his
trends for permanent chairman of the
unofficial convention at Saratoga, July
II. There are several candidates for
temporary chairman. Among them are
Congressman John d. McCratc and Dis
trict Attorney Harry E. Lewis, of
Brooklyn; Judge William D. Cunning
nam, OF Ulster County, and David Jayne

eve worked to reduce the high cost
of living, and we did-somewhat," she
said.
The statements concerning Goltra
were made by Democratic city commit
teemen who were delegates to the state
"were for Reed" and against Palmer"
but accepted the money from Goltra
under the supposition that it had been
raised among the Democrats. Their
expenses always had been paid to con-
ventions, they said.
Looked to Party for Expenses
Patrick O'Neill, member of the Demo-
cratic City Committee and n delegate
mittee that check for $3.50 signed by
Golrra was given him by Lawrence p.
Daily, chairman of the city committee.
When O'Neill declared he was against
Goltra" Senator Spencer asked if it
wasn't unusual to accept Goltra's
check then?'
"No," answered O'Neill, ~ thought
the money was subscribed. Why
shouldn't the Democratic party pay my
expenses
Henry Streutker, another city COM
mitteeman, said his check for $3.50 was
given him at committee headquarters.
"Goltra was against Reed, but most
of the delegates who travelled on his
money were for Reed" Streutker de-
clared
Tony Stuever, another delegate tc the
state convention, also gave him S100.
Streutker said. Stuever was friend
Of Senator Reed and favored Cox for
President, he added.
"In other words, you got $3.50 from
the Goltra faction and $100 from the
Stuever faction when you knew these
factions were antagonistic? asked Sem
ator Kenyon.
"Well, thought the money had been
subscribed and was to help the Demo
crats," Streutker replied.
Arthur Lancaster, another commit
teeman, said he also received Goltra
check for $3.50 and understood Goltra
: had contributed "quite lot of money
himself"
Asked whom Goltra favored for Pres
ident, Lancaster replied palmer"

vitality concerned himself, he said, and
attended merely to complete a quorum.
The committee will meet again to-
morrow to hear additional witnesses.
After to-morrow's session it expects
to disband temporarily, as Goltra and
Joseph Davis, summoned in connection
with the Palmer inquiry, are not ex-
pected to reach here from San Fran
cisco for several days.
Senator Kenyon received telegram
from San Francisco to-day, saying that
Goltra had gone to Southern California
and could not be located.
Goltra and Davis will be questioned
as soon as possible, however, Senator
Kenyon said tonight. A. c. Stuevers,
mentioned in to-day's testimony, also
has been subpenaed, but is believed to
be in San Francisco.

NORTHAMPTON, Mass, July g.

cial notification of Governor Calvin

ticket were made here to-day in a con-
ference between representative of the
Republican national committee and the

mony will take place at Allen Field
Smith College, on notification day, July
27, at o'clock, or, in case of rain, in

in favor of the recreation grounds OF

cilities at the college for staging the
ceremony.
1t was arranged to have meeting OF

White, Kansas, as chairman, the morn
ing of July 81, and to accept the Gov

Eighth Street, Conev Island, started
down the second big dip yesterday
afternoon, Abraham Goldsmith, the
driver, fell out and through the frame
work fifty feet to the ground. He was
killed instantly.
The fifteen passengers, three women
and twelve men, shrieked as they saw
the man fall. Driverless, the car
raced down the incline and headed for
a curve leading to a tunnel. Before it
was reached, however, one of the men
climbed to the drivers seat and ap-
piled the brakes, bringing the car to
halt.
Two of the women became hysteri-
cal. The tracks were cleared and the
car was brought back to the platform
by a switchman. 1t was said Gold
smiths fall was due to his failure to
lean forward in taking the big drop,
as is the custom Of drivers on the
scenic railway.
Goldsmith died of fractured skull.
He was twenty-three years old and
lived at 113 Harrison Street, Brooklyn.
His body was taken to the Coney
Island Morgue. Goldsmith was war
veteran.
An investigation of the accident will
be made by the police. 1t is the first
to result in death at Coney Island
this season.
