WENTWORTH AND
KEMPER DIVIDE
~DOUBLE-HEADER
W. M. A. Won The First 80 TO
IL, and Lost Second
16 to IA.

Prom The W. NJ. A. Trumpeter.
Wentworth and Kemper played two
games of basket ball on the local
court last week and each won a VIC
tory. The first game w. M. A. took
SO to IL, but the next one was revers-
ed and X. M. S. was on the long end
of a 16 to Ia score.
First Game.
The largest crowd Of the season
assembled to see the first contest.
The side-lines were packed with spec
tators. The w. M. A. band up in
the balcony enlivened the occasion
with music. The two teams trotted
on the floor amid cheers, the dark
uniforms Of the Kemperites contrast
ing sharply with the brilliant red
of the Wentworthians.
The game started slowly. Walter
made a free throw and a field goal
quickly followed. Then Kemper tied
it up and the score stood 3 to 3 for
about ten minutes. Then it was that
w. M. A. began to get together and
draw away. Quick and brilliant pass
ing worked the ball under the basket
and Walter and Pratt began to slip
the sphere through the net. At the
end of the first half Wentworth was
leading 10 to 6.
The second half opened with an ir-
resistable attack on Wentworth's
part. The Kemperites seemed be-
wildered and about ten points were
made before they even scored once.
They could not break through the Red
and White defense. On the other hand
Wentworth men were ringing baskets
from all angles of the court. The
game ended S3 to IL in w. M. AIS
favor and X. M. S. had made only
three field goals.
In this first game Coach Wikoff's
men showed up to their best advant-
age. Their passing and floor work
wal wonderful and the guarding left
no loop-holes. Walter was the chief
pOint-getter. He certainly had his
eye on the basket, scoring nine goals
and three free throws, totaling TWEEN
ty-one points. That alone was e.
nOugh to win the game. Wenner
played his usual great guarding
game, leaping high into the air and
taking the ball off the the blackboard
many times. And Hand was most eff
fective in breaking UP the opponents
offense. Fannin. played in his usual
great style on the floor, dribbling and
passing beautifully and he also got
in two sensational goals. Pratt
fought a scrappy game as he always
does and contributed three goals out
of eight chances. In fact, the whole
team showed a stellar brand of bas-
ket ball.
Kemper was not up to standard and
really had no star.

WILL OF PEOPLE SHOWN
IN BONUS LAW, HE SAYS
Decision Comes at Unfortu-
nate Time, Asserts Blakeslee.

Charles 6. Blakeslee. State Com
mander of the American Legion, who
is also Public Service Commissioner,
issued a statement yesterday in which
he asserted that the American Legion
is disappointed by the action Of the
Court Of Appeals in finding the State
bonus law unconstitutional. He said ::
while there is no disposition to criti-
else the court, it has seemed to the rank
and file of the organization and to ser
vice men generally that this proposition
embodied the definite and well considered
mandate of the people of the State Of
New York. expressed with all the formal
lty required for the enactment OF an
amendment to the Constitution itself
MANY of the service men, who have
been led to believe they would be bene-
filed under this law are in actual and
present need. Economic conditions have
thrown thousands of service men out OF
employment in New York State. The
average man never had the benefit OF
the high wages caused by war conditions
and consequently has not been able to
prepare himself financially for this pres
ent period Of depression. The need Tor
tho monetary benefits conferred by this
law was never 50 great as at the present,
Furthermore, many men have made
plans and incurred obligations expect
ing that the will OF the people 50 clearly
expressed at the polls would be carried
out"
Resolutions demanding a constitu-
tional amendment to legalize the bonus
were adopted last night at the third
annual convention OF the Bronx County

IMPOSING SERVICE
FOR AIRSHIP DEAD
All Hull Gathers in EngIand's
Oldest Church to Pay
Tribute.
TRAGEDY UNITES NATIONS
Only Four American Victims
of the ZR-2 Remain Tn
accounted For.
BIZ ne Assoclated pr,ss.

HULL. England, Sept 1.-The people
Of Hull. where the tragedy of the dirlg-
ible zR-2, which was wrecked here last
week. is so keenly felt that it continues
to be the chief feature i'm the news
papers. participated to-day in a mann
moth memorial service to the victims of
the stricken airship.
Preceding the service at the Holy
Trinity Church there was a procession
from Guild Hall in which marched the
Lord Mayor, the Sheriff and other city
officials and United States Consul Grout.
Along the procession were representa-
lives of all local civic bodies, local units
OF the British Army and Navy. Com
mander Byrd. with officers and men &c
the United States Navy at Hull; two
officers and six ren of the American
Air Service detachment at the Howden

Despite drizzllng rain thousands of
citizens lined the route or the process

clergy and the main body of marchers
was relieved by the vivid colors of the
robes of the municipal officials They
wore the full insignia Of Office over the
quaint costumes prescribed by ancient
customs. the Aldermen in scarlet and
the Councillors in blue. The mace
bearer and town clerk preceded the Lord

included the recitation of the twenty
third psalm. special prayers for King
and country, peace in the world ana lot
the bereaved in England and America
and concluded with the national anthem
and "The Last POST by bugler of the

While the band played Chopin's Flu

STATE AMENDMENT
FOR BONUS FAVORED
Adjt. Gen. Kincaid Wants Spe-
cial Compensation for Wound
ed i'm New Statute.
Special Despatch TO THE New YORK HERALD
New York Herald Bureau.
Albany Sent l.

Special Despatch TO THE New YORK HERALD.
New York Herald Bureau.
Albany, Sept. /.
An amendment to the State Constitu-
ton. a project favored by Gov. Miller, is
regarded in official circles here as the
only practical way to get a bonus for
world war veterans. While certain lead
ers Of the American Legion are dissatis-
fled with this method because 1t involves
a delay of two years, II is generally ad-
mitted that the scheme is the only one
wi ich appeals to the public.
Adjt-Gen. j. Leslie Kincaid, chairman
o. the bonus commission, favors a new
bonus law and constitutional amendment
to give to wounded and disabled soldiers
special compensation and provide for
every veteran who was a resident of the
state of New York at the time he en-
tered the service.
His position is the same as that Of
GOV. Miller. who wants TO see the men
who fought get what Is coming
to them. The idea OF paying the bonus
from the proceeds of a direct tax is con-
ceded to be impractical. II is not IA
vored by II. Edmund Machold. Speaker
of the Assembly. gen. Klncaid said:
II believe that the rights of the sol
diery Of the state may be upheld and the
violated by law of this character. The
chap who is dragging about wooden
leg or whose vision has been wiped out
by an exploding shell has much
tougher row to hoe than his next door
neighbor, who took the same desperate
chances. but who escaped scot free.
He is deserving Of a more substantial
remuneration than his more fortunate
brother in arms. and no one is going TO
begrudge 1t to him. A manned soldier
demands both sympathy and respect.
The next bonus law should make a pro-
vision for him different from that made
for the soldier equally brave but in
fintely more fortunate.
II do not see any reason why
veteran who was a resident of the State
Of New York when he entered the ser
vice should be cut off from compensa-
ton because afterward circumstances
forced him to leave his old home and
seek mis- fortune elsewhere. I always
regarded that provision OF the defunct
law which required a legal residence
at the time the bonus law went into
effect as unfair and working hardship
on thousands Of our bravest men.
Il want the boys who fought TO realize
that the state Of New York believes in
them and that the delay in receiving the
bonus money which TO SO many Of them
II discoura ging news, may be the means
Of passing a more equitable, embracing
statute Of greater permanent merit.

Staten Island Man, but
Protests.
CALLS MOTION UNTIMELY
Casey, Convicted Mans Law
yer, Wins Long Fight for
Rehearing.

Angelo Giordano and Harry r. Van
chair at Sing Sing prison last night.
Giordano mad instigated the murder of
Giuseppe Varazzano in a Broome
street store. Van Reed had murdered
Max Rabinowitz in the latter's tailor
shop in West Thirty-fourth street,
near Seventh avenue.
Edward J. McNally was to have been
electrocuted with them for the killing
of Walter Jaskowski in Staten Island
restaurant, but at 3 o'clock last night
Warden Lewis E. Lawes was notified
by Gov. Miller over the telephone from
Albany that McNally had received
reprieve until the week of September
IL.
Giordano. who had tried TO commi'
suicide in his cell earlier in the day
was the first of the two men to enter
the death chamber. He stumbled as the
door was swung open and he had MS
first glimpse of the electric chair but
he quickly recovered and walked swiftly
across the room and seated himself
lie was strapped to the chair at II ~
o'clock and the prison physicians said
he was dead seven minutes later Var
Reed. who served fourteen years in the
United States Army and saw service
overseas, was pale but did not lose his
nerve during the walk down the CORR
dor and into the death chamber. HI
was dead at f1:20 o'clock. Both mer
protested their innocence and CRIED
goodby to the other men in the death
house.
The families OF two OF the three men
who had been condemned TO die visited
them in the late afternoon, McNallys
wife, mother ana sister leaving for their
home in Staten Island about dusk with
out knowing that Mentally was to live.
Van Reed was visited by Miss Nettie
Iinder OF 400 West Fifty-fourth street,
who Is his sweetheart and has stuck to
him throughout his trouble. Miss
Under has been able to visit Van Reed
IN the last few months only because
she obtained Supreme Court order
permitting her to break the prison rule
which permits mon in the death house
TO receive visits only from relatives.
Van Reed 1t was said, had no near
relatives.

Rcprieye Follows Long Fight.

The reprieve to McNaily was granted
by the Governor after several weeks Of
hard work on the part OF his attorney.
William c. Casey Of New Brighton,
s. !. Some time ago Mr.. Casey went to
Albany with a petition signed by 5000
citizens Of the island. urging that a
communication of the sentence to life i'm
prisonment be granted.
Gov Miller refused to interfere. even
when a member Of the jury which con-
victed McNally went to Albany and de-
clared that he believed serious mis-
take had been made. The juror said
McNally. who did not actually kill the
man for whose death he was convicted.
should not receive a harsher sentence
than the other two men concerned in
the crime They were sentenced to life
imprisonment after pleading guilty TO
second degree murder.
Casey then went to Sing Sing and
from these men, r. Il. Eccobacci and
anthony Pucluci. obtained statements
generating McNally. Eccobacci and
Pucluci declared that McNally did not
know. when he went with them into the
restaurant in Mariners Harbor that
they intended to rob the place: he
thought they were merely going in TO
get something to eat. They admitted
that he took part in the robbery. but
said that he did not do the shooting.
with these statements Casey returned
10 New York and went before Justice
McCrate in the Supreme Court in Brook
Ign.
on the ground OF newly discovered
evidence Justice McCrate granted an or
der to show cause why new trial
should not be granted, and this order
was served yesterday on the District
Attorney OF Richmond Contrary to re-
port. however this order did not act as
a stay OF execution: that could only be
granted by the Governor. The order
vas made returnable on September s..
and with this as lever Casey returned
10 Albany and persuaded the Governor
10 grant reprieve so arguments might
be made on the order.

of 1917 Yeomans was shot down behind
the German lines and was prisoner Tor
fourteen months. Sealy was wounds y
twice. but never reached home. aId
Crilly was wounded at Loos In Au-
gust, 1917.
Eventually the war ended and the
three went home without seeing one an
other again. And they never heard from
one another. but they did not forget the
agreement they had made, and few
days ago each left his home and started
for Winnipeg, Crilly coming from Sas-
Satoon, Sask. Yeomans from Bellevue,
Ont, and Sealy from Kamloops, h. G.,
three widely separated points of the Do
minion.
None Of them had any idea at all that
the other two would be there, but each
Of them hoped. They reached Winnipeg
almost at the same hour and they met
face to face in front Of the desk Of the
Royal Alexandra Hotel. No one near by
could tell what they thought-these three
muslSeteers meeting again after strange
adventures and long silence-no one
could even tell that anything unusual
was happening. In the manner OF sol
diers they said Hello" and walked into
the dining room, where they had dinner
and Chilly paid the check, for he lad
lost his bet.
But after dinner they sat for hours
at their table and German flares burned
above their heads once more and the
bombs OF the German airmen dropped
among them. They went back to the
German machine gun nests they had
blown up, to the German fliers they
had shot down from the skies-and they
sighed reminiscently. but not regret
