Would Restore Majority aaI
The switching of the three Council.
men would restore the Mayors majority
and make the number of the Mayor's

Thus the gas question is deemed Of
far more Importance than appears on

might have prompted the crime. Two
men were seen hanging about the neigh
borhood all day yesterday, passing and

making their years supply of wine,
and had bought great quantities of
grapes. One theory is that some one
believed the head Of the family had n

in order to get it.
One Person Suspected
Lieutenant Belshaw, head of the
murder squad. and County Detective
DiCkerson have been in charge Of the
murder investigation since early morn

have learned 1t is known, however
that they have fixed their suspicion on
one person, and have uncovered circum-

suspicion.
Bloody fngcrprints were found in
the room where the crime was com

Tilden's Fourth Win
1t was the seventh time in history

was the fourth victory for the tall Phil

Johnston won the national champion

was in 1915. He repeated in 1919 and
defeated Tilden in doing so. These two

There were many, however, who be-
lieved they might wait here until Lloyd
George announced his acceptance Of any

1t was obvious. however, the mission
that took Boland and McGrath to Gair-

tance, and that their report might have
much to do with the continuance of the
negotiations.
Michael Collins. Finance Minister in
the Dali Eirennn Cabinet, is announced
to address meeting at Charleville,
County Cork, next Sunday, and it was
stated today that he expected to fulfill
the engagement. This. it was pointed
out, would make it virtually impossible
for him to arrive at Inverness by Tues
day, the date set for the proposed con-
ference to which he has been named as
delegate. and the probability is thus
suggested that the conference will not
begin on that date, at any rate.

then he had his service to fall back on.
A couple of outs gave Kinsey the
advantage in the sixth game, but he
fell going after Davis side line drives.
and this brought the game to deuce.
After it had again gone to deuce, Davis
smashed one of Kinsey's serves down
the side line and passed him for the
game. This made it even stephen on
games.
