and took breakfast at Black Rock
college, where at one time he used to

Sim Feiners Hold
Little Hone Agreement

Dublin, June 26-(By the Asso-
ciated Press)-Eamonn de Valera
today was in consultation with his
colleagues with regard to Premier
Lloyd Georges letter.
The letter was variously discussed
here today. One high Sim Feiner
said he thought an insult and as
implying acceptance of partition.
Other political leaders saw in the
letter an abandonment by the pre-
mier of his repeated bar against GER
tain Sim Feiners. as De Valera,
they said. would be free to choose
under sentence by court martial.
Cardinal Logue. primate of Ire
land, said he could not see much use
of q conference between Sir James
Craig and Mr. De Valera. but as the
government also was involved there
might be some hope. although it
would be desirable for the govern
ment to release from prison moder-
ates like Arthur Griffith, founder of
the Sim Fem.
The Sunday Independent, refer
ring TO the letter says:
THE premier's letter is a docu-
ment of the greatest political i'm
portance. 1t is a welcome admission
of the fact that we have insisted
upon--that an honorable peace in
Ireland is achievable only through
direct negotiations with the elected
representatives. 1t is for our repre-
sentatives to gauge the full and
real significance Of this appeal

Carpenter Grits
His Molars When

ManhasSet, n. Y, June 26.--Georges
Carpenter will go into the ring at
Jersey City next Saturday with only
one thing in mind; an invincible de-
termination to wrest the world cham
pionship from Jack Dempsey. This
was the assertion today of Gus Will
son. the challenger's chief trainer.
There will be no snap for Jack
Dempsey" Wilson said. He will have
to be more than a great fighter to beat
Georges. Never before in his fighting
career has Carpenter displayed such
determination as he does today. When
he talks of the fight he grits his teeth
and clenches his fists and remarks He
shall not beat me. Something ,ells
me that i can defeat him and l shall
do 1T. His hardest blows will not find
me and those that he lands l know I
can stand "
The challenger attaches a great deal
OF sentiment to the hundreds Of let

walks of life.

:WinslOW Man Killed
While Bathing in
Kennebec River

Edmund MERCER, 49, of Maple
street, Winslow, met his death Sat
urday afternoon about 2:30 o'clock by
striking his head against the cement
base of the gate in the dam back of
the Bangs station. as he dived into
the water for a swim in the canal.
MERCER was swimming with sew
eral other boys, all younger than he,
and he climbed to the top of the gate
post about Is feet above the water,
and made the dive from there. He
had negotiated the dive once success
fully and climbed up for the second
time. 1t is presumed he lost his bal
ance as his footing on the small sur
face afforded would naturally be rath-
er insecure and he did not clear the
projection of the foundation as he
went down head first. The corner of
the base where he struck was about
three inches above the water.
One of the boys who accompanied
him on the swimming trip ran to the
police station for help after MERCER
went down and failed to come up
again. Others spread the alarm and
crowds gathered at the bridge to
watch the search for the body. City
Marshal William II. Murray and De-
putty Marshal George H. Simpson
went to the scene and succeeded in
recovering the body.
Medical Examiner John G. Towne
was sent for and he gave the opinion
that the man was dead when he
struck the water, from the force of
the blow on the head from contact
with the concrete. The forehead had
a perpendicular cash up and down the
front which had crushed in the bone
and a scalp would across the top of
the head.
! Mrs. Louise MERCER, mother of the
cad boy was notified soon after the
accident and came to the scene. She
was in a hysterical condition and was
taken back to her home by friends.
Besides his mother. Young MERCER
leaves a sister, Miss Philomene Mer-
cier.
The body of was taken to the un-
dertaking rooms of Charles Rodrigue
and prepared for burial which will
take place this morning at o'clock
at the st. Francis de Sales church.

Moist Dirt for 4
Balls Before Game

/ New York, June % National
League umpires have been instructed
before each game, to rub up" in
moist dirt at least two dozen balls for
use that day. This inexpensive treat
ment for increasing a pitchers effec-
tiveness. adopted after experiments
with several other substances has
proved best, according to Pres. Hey
dler.
He declared that no complaints were

added that no other means would be
employed to doctor balls. He had

| Several weeks ago National League
magnates considered using resin TO
aid pitchers. but the idea was dropped
after it had been frowned upon by
American League heads.
Several umpires, Heydler declared
had found the soil on one or two dia'
monds of the circuit especially effec-'
tive in taking the gloss off new balls
and carried small amounts from one
city to another for this purpose.
The orgy of batting which has fea.
tured the spring and early-summsf
season is approaching an end. in the
opinion of Mr.. Heydler He declared
that the slowness of the pitchers in
rounding into top form in cool
weather had been wholly responsible.
The American League is said TO
have tried out new plan to stop
the smuggling.

ed a moist chalklike substance which
