compulsory military training for
high school boys of the state over six
teen years old will be discontinued by
most of the high schools in New York
City within a few days THIS state
ment was made last night by Major j.
W. Lyon, supervising officer OF the New
York zone of the Military Training
Commission.
Major Lyon has been instructed by
headquarters of the State Military
Training Commission at Albany to rec
ognize physical instruction as equiv
alent to the infantry drill. and he has
been authorized to discontinue the
training in schools equipped with
proper gymnasium and physical train
ing facilities. These instructions were
forwarded to prime. pals by Major Lyon
in letter last week.
This letter announced the new con-
ditions and called upon the individual
principals to decide if the training was
Ito be. contjnued in their schools It
did not empower them to discontinue
the training without further authority
from the commission, however, Major
Lyon pointed out.
The training will be discontinued,
Major Lyon said, upon receipt of re-
quest from principal, if the commits
sion is satisfied that his institution has
the proper physical instruction equiva-
Tents He expects to receive the first
replies on Monday
The purpose of this new order, said
Major Lyon, is to save money to be de-

About 5000 high school boys have been
receiving an hour week of infantry
drill in state armores in the New York
City zone, which extends from Staten
Island to Peekskill, against $4,000 en-

Most of these students receive daily

United States Commissioner Henry
u. barmore, in letter to Leroy W
Ross, United States Attorney for
brooklyn, made public yesterday, chal-
ienged the right of the United State
Attorney to curtail the power of the
commissioners in liquor eases.
1t Is understood that complete har-
mony has not existed for some tir.e
between the five commissioners in
Brooklyn and the United States At
torney. This discord was made more
pronounced only few days ago by q
request from Mr. Ross for the com
missioners to confer with him concern
ing letter said to have come from
Washington suggesting that proceed
lngs concerning misdemeanors under
the Volstead act be carried on by
means of informations. This relieved
the commissioners of hearings
Two Of the commissioners, Barmore
and McCabe, did not attend the con-
ference with Mr.. Ross.
Charges Ross Seeks Publicity
~ did not meet your suggestion, >
wrote Commissioner. BaEmore in his
letter to MIR. Ross, "for the reason that
it does not appear that the conference
was to be held in the presence of
Judges Chattield and Garvin, who are
our superiors; and for the further rea-
son that you seemed to have already
decided what course you intended ia
pursue.
an this connection, permit me to ad.
wise you that I thoroughly resent your
published interviews wherein you seek
to make it appear that the United
States commissioners are of no conse-
quence, and that you are supreme in
the administration of justice in this
Federal district
Finally, it is. very plain that your
publication of the letter with boastful
interviews is simply another step in
your deliberate plan to exploit your
self in the public press at the expense
O. others"
The commissioners, it is reported
will NEE. tomorrow and protest TO the
judges Of the district, who SO far, have
remained neutral.

paragraph of his circular letter, be-
cause he simply suggests to the owner
the following:
ut is seriously thought that a sug-
gostion to you that, to avoid ANY fu-
ture trouble with the Police Depart
ment, would cause the tenants of these
tea rooms to vacate, and thereby you
would probably avoid being, at least,
considerably inconvenienced. (Signed)

Strangely as it may seem, the "ten-
ants of these tea rooms" are obsti-
nately refusing to vacate, and they are
even professionally demanding to know

WASHINGTON, Feb. 12.-No order
has been issued for the deportation of
Lord Mayor O'Callahan offCork, and he
will not be deported, Michael F. Doyle,
one Of his counsel, said tonight after
conference late to-day with Secretary
of Labor Wilson.
For O'Callahan to go back at this
time, he added, would mean giving him
self into the hands of his enemies, and
his legal status and rights would be de-
Tended to the utmost to maintain for
him freedom to return to. Ireland at
his own convenience" -.
The conference to-day with the Labor
Secretary, which was also attended by
Judge Lawless, another of the Lord
Mayors counsel, was described by Mr.
Doyle as satisfactory and verifying
our feeling in the matter" The order
recently issued by the Labor Depart
ment defining O'Callahans status as a
Seaman" which would require his re
shipping for foreign port, Mr.. Doyle
said, contained no time limit, as was
reported at that time, but said merely
that he must leave cat his own conve-

Special Dispatch to The Tribune

HOUSTON, Tex, Feb. 12.-B. I.
Hobbs, an attorney, was Kidnapped by
masked men from a garage at Alvin,
thirty miles from this city this after
noon, taken outside the city, put in his
own automobile and told never to re-

tarred and feathered and warned to
leave Houston or be prepared to die.
Hobbs is said to have defended some
negroes in legal action recently.
Printed notices signed by the Ku-Klux
Khan were posted in this vicinity about
month ago warning white persons not
to take the part of the negroes. The
local ku-KluX chapter officially denied
responsibility tonight for the kidnap-
ring, although the denial made no men
