Henry, H. Curran, President Of the

speech at the 18th Assembly District
Republican Club, sos Hart Street,

1t was at the 10th Assembly District

Frank Hendrick, candidate for a Re-

take, he said, if not worse, and he
really believed in lunching thoroughly
and never had thought Of introducing q

The mistake, he said, was the print

as "author of the Federal anti-lynch-

Bergen Town Father Spills
Mayors Gore i'm Public Battle

NORTH BERGEN, N. j., Sept. l.
The meeting of the Township Commit
tee in Town Hall here tonight was en-
livened by brief bout between Corn
mitteeman John F. McGrew and Mayor
Harry Barber. To the manifest disap-
pointment of the audience, most of
whom were cheering for the Mayor,
the encounter was limited to one round
and there was no decision.
The Mayor got a bloody nose and
Committeeman McGrew got arrested.
The trouble started over debate on
an ordinance to establish the zoning
system in the Woodcliff section of
North Bergen. The ordinance was in
troduccd two weeks ago and was de-
feated, though then it applied only to
the Weatherbee tract, and did not in
clude the Woodcliff section of the town.
"It's funny" said Committeeman Nc
Grew, when the subject came UP tnis
evening. that the ordinance introduced
at the last meeting didn't take in the
Woodcliff section. The Mayor ought to
know all about that"
Now Mayor Barber is in the real es-
tate business. Like Committeeman
McGrew. he is small man and pep
perry.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1921-09-02

"You don't know what you're talking
about" he advised Committeeman Nc
Grew
Committeeman McGrew wasted no
further time in badinage. He sprang
to the platform, punched the Mayor on
the nose and seized him by the throat.
"Go it, Harry! Give it to him!" cried
the audience, rising to its feet.
The audience remembered that Com
mitteeman McGrew, though fellow
Republican, had been the Mayors OPP
ponent in many projects before this,
and it was en- the Mayors side.
Soak him, Harry!" the audience
yelled.
Before Harry could do so Committee
man Frederick Wurdemann, muscular
member, took the Mayor in one hand and
Committeeman McGrew in the other
tore them apart and held them at arms
length. sputtering like firecrackers with
lighted fuses.
AS soon as he sat them down the
Mayor called the sergeant at arms ane
ordered Committeeman McGrew ar
rested. After the meeting McGrew sur
rendered to the police, the Mayor pre-
ferred charge Of assault and battery
and hearing was set for Tuesday. The
ordinance which caused the trouble
passed its first reading and was laid
over.

Spent Bullet
Fells Daughter
OF Fnlancier
Agnew, II, Riding With
Brother Near White Plains
When Hit in Neck by Shot
From an Unseen Hunter
Distant Report Is Heard
Operation Is Performed at
Hospital and Condition Is
Not Held To BE Serious

Miss Alice Agnew, seventeen-year.
old. daughter of Cornelius H. Agnew,
was shot by an unseen marksman yes
terday morning while riding with n
younger brother near their fathers es-
tate, Wenga Farms, near White Plains
The bullet entered the back of her
neck. She was taken to Presbyterian
Hospital in this city, where an opera
tion was performed yesterday after
noon.
1t was. said last night at the hospital
that her condition was good and the
wound was not regarded as serious.
Miss Agnew and her brother Rae,
fifteen, years old, went for ride about
10:30 a. m. Their horses were pro-
ceeding slowly along the Port Chester
Road, near the Kensico Reservoir, when
Rae heard his sister give sharp cry
and at the same time saw her clap her
hand to the back of her neck, where a
red stain was spreading on her waist,
The report of gun was heard at
the same moment, but family, as
distance. It's failure to penetrate to
a vital spot also was taken to indicate
that the missile was almost spent when
it struck the girl.
Rae assisted his sister to the ground
and gslloped to the nearest house,
where he found telephone and in
formed his mother of the accident
She took only few minutes to reach
the place in limousine, in which Miss
Agnew was taken to the Presbyterian
Hospital.
Hunting or shooting on the city
property about the reservoir is for
bidden and 1t is believed that the shot
was fired by some poacher, who did
not realize that his bullets might reach
thoroughfare.
Miss Agnew's father is president of
the County Trust Company of White
Plains and a director Of the Farm
ers' Loan and Trust Company, of this
city.
Troopers of the state police were
notified of the shooting and ranged
through the countryside about the
reservoir, but were unable to discover
the source of the shot.

LONDON, Sept. 1.-Eamon de Valera
president OF "the Irish republic" has
accepted Premier Lloyd Georges sug-
gestion for further conferences in
Downing Street to find basis for Irish
peace, it was learned authoritatively
tonight. Robert c. Barton, COM
mandant Of the Irish republican army
and personal emissary for De Valera,
arrived in London this morning bearing
the Sim Fein leaders acceptance of
the Prime Minister'S alternative to a
disruption of peace parleys.
Barton came to Downing Street, only
to learn that the Premier had set out
only few hours previously by motor
for the northwest coast of Scotland for
vacation. The Sim Fein emissary
followed by train, expecting to reach
the remote village of Gairlock, where
Lloyd George is going, by the time the
Premier himself got there.
1t is learned that the note from De
Valera had been drawn up prior to the
outbreak of rioting in Belfast Monday,
and that this renewal of disorders
induced him to rewrite it, presumably
to offer suggestion for the ameliora-
tion of conditions in the area of con-
fict.
Police Scatter Shippers
The people of Belfast awoke to com.
parative quiet this morning after their
nightmare, lasting more than seventy
two hours. A few stray shots were
fired in Grove Street at an early hour,
but the snipers were put down by the
police before anybody had been hurt.
The toll OF casualties since the out
break stands at sixteen dead and more
than one hundred wounded The troops
patroling the city have taken stern
measures to prevent renewal of the
fighting. Armored cars and lorries
loaded with troops continue to swing
through the streets Of Belfast much
as they were doing in Dublin only a
few weeks ago.
DUBLIN, Sept. (By The Associated
Press) s).-The reply of the Irish repub-
lican cabinet to the latest communica-
tion of Prime Minister Lloyd George
on the British Governments peace
proposals was dispatched last evening.
The publicity department of the Sim
Fein will await announcement of its
receipt by Mr.. Lloyd George before
making its contents known or issuing
statement concerning it.
A statement which, in view of the
status of the peace negotiations. may
be significant, appears in "The Irish
Bulletin" official organ of the Dali
Eireann:
ireland makes but one condition. -
says the paper, that it be a free
union. The long antagonism between
Ireland and England arose solely from
Eng!and's attempts to make the sub.
lection of Ireland the first condition
of the alliance which should naturally
exist between them. Whatever qualif.
cations of complete political and
economical separation are made neces
sary by physical and historical fact:
will be acceptable to Ireland, provided
they are consonant with the principle
of government by the consent of the
governed
