Griffith COnfers
with DeValera

Dublin, July 1.-(By The Associat
ed Press )-Shortly after the release
yesterday from Mount Joy prison of
Arthur Griffith, founder of the Sim
Fein organization, he conferred with
Eamonn de Valera, at the Griffith
home in Con;art. Mr.. De Valera also
talked with Professor John MacNeill,
president of the Gaelic League, who
was released with Mr. Griffith.
The Irish republican leaders are in
general accord and will state their
common case at the conference in the
Mansion House here on Monday.
\ The southern UnioniSt representa-
tives who will attend this conference
the invitation to confer with repre-
sentatives of the British government
and northern Ireland in London. They
are said to be in substantial agree
ment with the republicans in depre
eating the separation of northeast
Ulster, and their suggestion would be
in the direction it is believed, of in
creasing the power of the central
council which will bind together the
northern and southern parliaments.
The Obstetrics on the other hand,
it is understood here, are disposed t.
favor increased financial powers be-
ing exercised by each parliament sep
arately and are not willing to agree
to entrust them to the central coun-
Gil. If the conference is held in Lon
don this will be one of the chief
points discussed.

Stillman a Little
More Talkative
at Divorce Hearing

PoughkeepSie, n. Y, July 1.-The
redirect examination of James A
Stillman in the hearings which adj
jouTned today was described as leav-
ing the inference that he would have
been willing for Mrs. Stillman to
have started their divorce battle in
stead of himself if it had been pos
sible in that way to try out the legit-
imacy of her son. Guy Stillman.
The question sought to learn wheth-
er the banker, before institution OF his
suit, had expressed willingness to Mrs.
Stillman's attorneys for ner to start
proceedings for divorce if she want
ed one Another inquired if he had
not later been told that. as a defend
ant in a divorce action, he could not
test Guy Stillmans paternity. Then
it was asked if he had not brought
the action against his wife and her
youngest child as a result of this in
formation.
None of these questions was answer
ed the referee upholding objection by
defense counsel.
Cross examination of Mr.. Stillman
drew the admission that he made his
wife gifts of jewelry a week after
Guy was born, the following Christ
mas and during the next year. On re-
direct examination it was said Mr..
Stillman declared that when he gave
these presents he was not in possess
sion of all the information that after
wards caused him to sue for divorce.

SENATE DROPS
RAILROAD PROBE
TILL NEXT MONTH

washington, July 1-Senate inVeS-
tigation of the railroad situation was
suspended today by Chairman Cum
Minis of the interstate commerce
committee until the middle or latter
part of August. This was taken to
mean that there would be no rail-
road relief legislation at the present
extra session of Congress.
Chairman Cumm,ns said suspen-
sion of the inquiry was deemed ad-
visable in view of the inclination of
the Senate to take a summer recess.
The investigation to date has de-
veloped the views of the railroad
executives and security owners,
though the latter have not completed
the presentation of their case. Rep
resentatiNes of labor and shippers
are yet to be heard
The original plan contemplated a
committee report and possibly the
proposal of legislation for considera-
ton at the present session of Con-
greSS.

.REF0RMERS FAIL
IN LAST EFFORT TO
STOP BIG FIGHT

. Jersey City, July 1.-The Hudson
county grand jury late today de-
cllned to return an indictment
sought by the International Reform
Bureau to stop the Dempsey Car
pentier bout here tomorrow. This
was regarded as the last legal OBJ
stacle to the match.
Eight witnesses were heard, their
testimony taking up an hour and a
half. The jury deliocrayed only 10
minutes before rendering its decision
against returning an indictment.
Defeated in what they had an
nounced would be their last step to
stop the bout, the reformers on
leaving the court house said they
would seek the Indictment and i'm
parchment of Governor Edwards if
they found the bout had turned out
to be a fight and that they also
would work for repeal of the State
boxing law.
Dr. Crafts and his fellow clergy
men declined to discuss the testi-
mony. Said DR.. Crafts:
You know I'm too old a hand in
legal matters to tell you what l told
the grand jury.
LAS lawyers say We have now
perfected our record We have done
all we can to warn the governor the
boxing commission and the public
at large that the law is being vio-
lated
Asked if he was going to see the
fight DR.. Crafts replied:
II don't think I will answer that
question now. Sufficient it is to say
that we will have competent men
there who will judge whether in
their opinion the contest is a prize
fight or a boxing exhibition.
IF it turns out to be a prize fight
we will Immediately take steps to
have the governor indicted and to
have the other officials punished for
allowing and then not stopping the
fight, every person who attends that
fight is subject to arrest
When Dr. Crafts was asked if he
intended to take such a drastic step
he replied, laughing:
"All we would have to do would
be to enclose the arena in bars
