Bay Staters Resent
C. "A. r. Heads Use
of Instantaneous"

Boston, April 5.-References to
Irish Americans" made by William
A. Ketcham of Indianapolis, comman-
der-in-chief of the Grand Army Of the
Republic, in an address to the State
House of Representatives today re-
suited in the signing by more than 40
members of the Legislature of a
statement expressing resentment at
his remarks. Mr.. Ketcham, who came
here to attend the Massachusetts, G.
A. .R. encampment, in his address
urged the Legislature to see that
what was won on the battlefields of
France is not lost in this country"
I'VE do not want German-Americans,
Irish-Americans or Russian-Ameri-
cans" he said, "but just plain every
day Americans" adding that he was
conscious that he was speaking in a
city in which there were more Irish
men than in Dublin.
The statement signed by the legisia-
tors set forth that I'VE, the under
signed members of the Legislature,
vigorously resent the remarks made
by W. A. Ketcham, national comman-
der of the Grand Army of the Repub-
lie" in reference to Americans of
Irish extraction.
I'VE are convinced" it added that
there are too many members OF Irish
birth and Irish descent members of
the G. A. r. to allow any man to ex-
press tho sentiments given by Com
mander Ketcham."
Mr.. Ketcham also addressed the
state Senate, saying that it was not
for the old men of the C. A. r. to set
tie present problems of state, but it
is for this generation to be worthy of
the generation of the Civil War"

FORMER EMPEROR
CHARLES ON WAY
TO SWISS HAVEN

Vienna, April 5.-(By the Associat-t
ed Press) Announcement was made
this evening by the foreign Office that
former Emperor Charles, who had been
at Steinamanger, arrived today at
Fehring, where he went aboard the
Austrian train bound for Switzerland.
Charles entered his compartment III
the train at PAS o'clock this afternoon,
having had to await the arrival of the
train at Fehring for some time. In
the meantime he had remained in the
private car which had brought him
from Steinamanger. The train left
Fehring at 4.30 o'clock and it is re
ported that he will reach the Swis6
frontier early tomorrow.
The Viennese government is breath
ing easier since Charles has started
on his return into exile. The visit of
Charles, however resulted in the res
ignations of Minister of War Mueller
and Minister of the Interior Graz. Both
of them objected to a Volllswehr guard
being placed over Charles, claiming
this was an indignity to the former
emperor. .

JUDGE BILL
Is Vetoed By West Virginia
Governor

Charleston, w. Va.-Governor Nor
gan has vetoed a bill which would
empower the governor to appoint
judge Of Mingo county, whose term of
office would expire in 1924, or over one
general election. The purpose of the
bill was to remove from Mingo county
citizens the power to have a voice in
the selection of a judge who would
preside at the forthcoming trials of
Sid Hatfield and co-defendants, who
havabeen acquitted on the charge of
killing a Baldwin Felts detective, but
who must stand trial on other charges.
The governor vetoed the bill after
a storm of protest throughout the
state over this bold attempt to ig-
more the peoples rights. This law
was intended to be a companion to
an act recently passed which permit
ted jurors to be drawn from counties
other than the one in which the &C.
cused resides.
