TUFTS BETTER HALF
BACKS UP STORY OF,
MONEY FROM FATHER

Boston. Aug s.-Mrs. Nathan A.
Tufts, wife of the district attorney of
Middlesex county whose removal is
sought by Attorney General ]. Wes-
ton Allen, on charges of improper
conduct in office. took the stand in
her husbands defense in the Supreme
court late today.
She corroborated Mr.. Tufts testi-
mony with reference as to how he
obtained $4,000 in May 1917, at about
the time the prosecution alleges large
sums Of money were distributed to
prevent litigation as a result of a
party at Mishawum Manor, Woburn,
attended by several motion picture
men. She said that her husband was
alone with his father in a room in
their home in F'itchburg shortly be-
fore the elder Mr.. Tufts death and
when he came out he showed her five
one thousand dollar bills given him by
his father.
About two weeks later, she said,
MI. Tufts again sent for his son and
save him an envelope containing an
amount which she was informed was
twice as much as the previous gift.
Mr.. Tufts earlier in the day was
subjected to further questioning re-
garding his financial affairs between
January 1917 when he took Office and
May 1921. Checks stubs We're pro-
duced to show how his money was
spent.
The defense lost point when Chief
Justice A. p. RuGg ruled that the de-
fense could not introduce testimony
tending to show the proceedings were
brought as part of political plot
against Mr.. Tufts nor testimony to
show that conditions in Middlesex
county had improved under Mr. Tufts
regime.
Attorney Melvin NJ. Johnson said
that the district attorneys mother
would take the stand tomorrow to
explain the money transactions that
passed between her husband and her
son. "

SODA FOUNTAIN AND LUXURY
TAX ON CLOTHING TO Be CUT OUT.
REDUCTIONS ON SPORTING GOODS
NOT SETTLED WHO
IS TO PAY BILLS FOR
DISARMAMENT MEET

Washington, Aug. S.-Upon accept
ances being received from Italy and
China of the suggestion of that the
disarmament conference be convened
November l, Armistice Day, the at
tention of administration officials to-
day was centereG largely on the ply
sical features of the meeting. The
Japanese government had not yet Of
ficially accepted the proposed date,
but assurances in press dispatches
from Toxic that no objection would
be offered has convinced officials at
the state department that Japan will
accept the date.
Just how the expenses Of the con-
ference are to be apportioned has not
been definitely determined. Secretary
Hughes, it is believed, will dispatch
within a few days the formal invita- :
tions to the conference and it is pos
sible that the wording OF that dOcu-
ment may make it clear to the invited
powers whether they will be expected
to come as guests of the American
government or merely as cOnferees
who expect to pay their own bills.
How many delegates will represent
any separate government probab bly,
will be left to the judgement Of the
respective powers, although there is
evident a feeling in official circles
here that there will probably be equal
representation.
State department officials were to-
day preparing tentative estimates in
an attempt to find some basis upon
which Director of the Budget Dawes
can fix the amount that will be re
quired for the conference. The one
item of printing already has proved to
be awkward, since it is impossible to
forecast how long the conference will
last of what the volume Of printed
words will be.

Irish Republican Leader Freed
By Order British Premier
After Word from De Valera
London Views it as Vic
tory for Sim Fein-Removes
Danger of Breach in Peace
Parleys

London, Aug. Soy the Associa-
I'D Press)-The release from pris-
an today Of John J. McKeown. upon
orders Of Premier Lloyd George, re-
moved an obstacle which had
threatened to wreck peace negotia-
lions between the British govern
ment and the Sim Fein. The prime
minister acted, it is understood, up
on representations made by Eamon
de Valera.
McKeown was In prison under
conviction for the murder of Chief
Inspector McGrath. All the other
members of the Sim Fein parlia-
ment under detention had been re-
leased, but the authorities of Dub
lin Castle had refused to set Nc
Keown free.
A special courier sent by the
Irish republican cabinet today de-
vered to Mr.. Lloyd Geor in
Paris, where he is attending the Su-
preme council, a message on the
situation.
Dublin dispatches quoted Mr.. De
Valera as saying he did not believe
the exception made in detaining Nc
Keown represented the considered
action of the British cabinet, but
that it was due to the action of
Governmental subordinates in Ire
land, who were proceeding under
technicalities.
He also is said to have announced
that he would not continue peace
negotiations with the British gov
eminent if the government persist
ed in holding McKeown in prison.
Sortly afterwards word came from
Paris that it had been decided to set
Mckeown free.
In London the incident is consid-
cred a victory for the Sim Fein.
The general belief is. however, that
the Dublin Castle officials acted
without consulting the London gov
ernment when they issued their no.
tice that McKeown could not be re-
leased, and that the London govern
ment in the interest of peace over
ruled them.
