VOTE TODAY IN
DALI ON TREATY
Griffith to Move for Vote on
Approving Anglo-lrish
Treaty
DE VALERA TO OPPOSE 1T
President Will Voice Disap-
provaI of Vote on the
Treaty Question

DUBLIN. Dec. 2O.-(By the Asso-
ciated Press)-It was announced this
morning that Arthur Griffith, head
of the Sin1 Fein delegation which
signed the Anglo-Irish treaty would
move in the Dali Ei.eann today for
a vote on the question of approving
the question anc that Eamon de
Valera. would move its disapproval.
Today's session of the Dali opened
at 1880 clock with Brien O'Hig-
gins in the chair replacing Prof.
MacNeill.
Mr.. de Valera addressing the dali.
claimed there could be no question
of ratification o, the treaty by the
Dali which he dsclar ed could not
ratify the pact in the sense of max
ing it a legal instrument. Ali the
Dali could do was 20 approve or dis
approve. he asserted.
De Valera said that inasmuch as
the articles of agreement for the
treaty between Great Britain and
Ireland do not reconcile Irish ma
tional aspirations and the associa-
ton of Ireland with the community
of nations known as the British COM
monwealth and cannot establish
lasting peace between the peoples
of the two islands. the Dahl Eireann
makes to the British the following
proposal:
He did not read the proppsal nor
was it made public at this time, but
copies of the document, it was
stated. would be circulated among
members when the motion was
made.
Mrs. Kate O'Callaghan, the first
woman member TO speak, opposed
the treaty.
THE women of the Dali will vote
for principles. not expedients," she
declared.
John r. Etchingham, deputy for
Wicklow and minister of fisheries
spoke in opposition to the treaty
saying the people were being stam-
peded. They were not, as Arthur
Griffith said, marching into the Bri-
tish empire with head up but with
hands up. he insisted.
Applause was given the declara-
ton of p. Hogan. speaking for the
agreement when he said:
Not a man who votes against this
treaty, but hopes it will be ratified.
Mr.. Buckingham added that Mr..
Lloyd George had mesmerized the
Irish delegates as he had mesmer-
ized former President Wilson. He
declared the London conference was
a burial service over the grave OF
the Irish nation, and that there
would be no firing party.

ALDERMEN CONFIRM
NAMES OF OFFICERS
KNIGHTS PLEA FAILS:
TIMMERARI IS GIVEN
LIFE Imprisonment

TRENTON. Dec. 20.--At the ses-
sion of tn. Court o. Pardons today
the apple; lion of Isaac Nutter, COL
ored lawyer of Atlantic City, for
Communication of the. death sentence
of George Washington Knight, was
turned down. with little ceremony.
The Court of PardonS was the de-
fendant's last avenue by which to
escape the death chair. and he must
now prepare to pay the penalty for
his crime.
The application of Walter Sedan,
attorney for Joseph Timmerari, ask
ing that the latter's sentence be
changed from execution to life SEN
tence. was allowed by the members
of the Court of Pa-dons. Many Pc
titions were received in regard to
this case, and the attorneys, chief
point of argument was based on the
fact that the convicted murderer is
extremely young.
The Court of PardOns commuted
the death sentence of Joseph Tim
merari, twenty-five years of age, OF
New Market, Mi9diesex county. to
life Imprisonment. Timmerari was
convicted for the murder of Henry
Kauhaup: in Middlesex county Feb
ruary last. The youthful murderer
was under sentence to die during
the week of January 1G next.
J. Victor Dealia, of Newark, and
Waiter Sedan, of New Brunswick,
appeared o.: Timrnerari's behalf be-
fore the court of pardons. His par
ents were also acquitted of any COM
plicity in the crime.
The lawyers appealed for clemen-
cy for Timmerari on the ground that
he had been to a certain extent the
victim of an inflamed state of the
public miEd in Middlesex county at
the time the crime was committed.
Just prior tc the deed for which he
was sentenced to death two other
murder cases were before the court
in Middlesex county. One being the
Fitzsimmons case involving wife
murder anu the other the death of
a prominent Perth Amboy woman
at the hands of George Washington
Knight, a negro.
Counsel SEDAN argued today be-
fore the pardons court that Thinner
ari suffered as a result of these prev
ious cases. He also argued that
Timmeraris offense was not a paral-
lei of the other two his deed grow
ing out of a heated quarrel among
neighbors. A letter was presented
from Prosecutor jose phi Stricken who
represents the state at the trial of
the condemned man saying that jus
tice be satisfied if Tlmmerari's sem
tence would be commuted to life i'm
prisonment He was scheduled to
die the week of Januery 16.

METUCHEN, Dec. 20:-FOrced 10
halt his machine because a delivery
truck was placed directly across the
roadway, a man who gave his name
as Splitter and his address as New
Brunswick, was held up and ropoeo
of money and valuable papers oy
three armed men last night about II
o'clock. The stickup took place at

fronted by three revolvers. taken out
of his car and relieved of s52,
private papers and his auto reglstra-
ton card. In addition to the delv-
erv truck the bandits are declared

touring car. parked at the side OF
the road. They are still at large.
Although complete details OF the
affair are lacking it has been learn
ed that the Metuchen police received
a call from the vicinity of Pompton
shortly after the holdup. Marshal
John c. Bowers collected a force OF
several men and went to investigate
the report.
Near the scene of the holdup Mr..
Bowers found Spitzer. who said the
men had parked the delivery car
square across the roadway as he
approached. All lights on the ma
chine were lighted and Splitter said
he thought they were merely turn
ing the machine around. When ne
stopped TO await the end of the pro-
cess. however, the three armed men
Jumped on the running board of the
car and robbed him. None OF the
men were masked, he continued,
but the darkness was such that an
adequate description could not De
obtained.
Just prior to the holdup John K.
Clark, a Metuchen taXicab operator,
saws he returned to Metuchen by the
same road and saw the delivery
truck being placed across the high
way. He also thought the car was
only being turned around because
no attempt was made TO molest him
and he got through without trouble.
An alarm for the three holdup
men has been spread through police
in this district.
