Holds Bravery Medal
Schalow is said to have helped or
ganize meetings in Hazelton's behalf,
to have canvassed in support of his
candidate and to have made derogatory
remarks concerning the administration
of Borough President Connolly. He
has been a policeman eight years, has
the credit of solving an obstinate mur-
der mystery, holds medal for bravery
and is member of the Honor Legion.
Magistrate Thomas +. Doyle. OF

In the discussion that followed AS

Commissioner of Accounts Hirshfeld

Some of the principals who we're

attack, pointing out that Senator Lock

and those associated with him had fur

August Schalow acting detective SER
geant, second grade, with an excellent
record for efficiency and bravery, has
been transferred from the Queens de-
tectlve bureau to plainclothes duty in
the Oak Street police station, it was
learned yesterday, because he actively
opposed the candidacy Of Borough
President Maurice L. Connolly for re-
election in Queens and championed the
cause of Edgar F. Hazelton, the Re-
publican candidate.
HIS doom was pronounced Thursday
by Inspector Coughln at Police Head
quarters. AS head Of the detective bu-
reau, Inspector Coughlin summoned
Schalow to his Office several days ago
told him of the reports that had
reached headquarters concerning Scha-
lows political beliefs and actions, and
said he could have until Thursday
to reconsider the promise to reform.
Defies Higher-Ups
On the day appointed Schalow re-
ported at Coughlin's office and in.
formed that official that his opinions
were the same and that he would dc
what he could to elect Hazelton and
defeat Connolly. Coughlln ordered
him to report yesterday at the OAK
Street police station for pIainclothes
duty. Schalow did not report for duty
yesterday. He sent word he was sick
"Schalow only got what he de-

MOSCOW, Dec. 15.-Mme Trotsky.

quiet, gently-bred wife of the FIRE

the remarkable story of her life.
From 1917 on Nine. Trotsky has
been a "hrst lady" Of Russia.
Extreme feminism is a fantastic
thing in Russia today" she in

The Russian woman stands not

JAPAN DECLINES
TO MAKE 2l-POINT
DEMANDS AN issue
Delegates Claim They
Should Be settled Di-

Japan doe. not Intend to allow
her twenty-one-point demands. made
on China in 1918, to be made an
issue n their original form before
the present conference. Spokesman
for the Japanese delegation made
this very plain last night.

II was declared that when the
matter is again reached in the
committee on the Pacific and Far
Eastern problems Z f. very likely
that the japanese will have a state

make. II is the position OF the
delegation that these points cannot
be properly brought before the
present conference. Like Shantung.
they are a matter 20 be settled by
direct negotiations.
The Chinese delegation Is very
anxious that the nations repre-
scented here make a public declsrs-
ton on the twenty-one points
which. in their opinion. constitute
a true exposition OF Japan's policy
toward China. The delegation holds
that these points actually strike at
the very heart Of China's sover-
eighty.
Powers Sympathetic.
Naturally the japanese take the
opposite view. They say they have
wholeheartedly subscribed to the
Root resolutions: that they have
made mater al concessions for the
benefit OF China and will make
even more. and that the present
conference cannot go far sfield" in
its lsbors without endanFerinC the

considerable sympathy among other
powers here.

COLLINS BREAKS
WITH DE- VALERA
ON OATH TERMS
Refuses to Debate Fur.
Their With Leader of
Sim Fein Party.

DUBLIN, Dec. 15.-The bitter
struggle between the supporters
and opponents OF the treaty with
Great Britain continued today in
the secret session OF Dali Eireann
and so far as could be learned little
progress was made II is doubtful
whether the secret session will be
concluded In time to allow an open
session for ratification debate to-
| morrow. The open meeting may
have to go over until Saturday.
Dali Eireann held three sessions
today. Late this afternoon Michael
Collins said that he could 60 no
further than he had when the pub
lie session yesterday was closed.
Mr.. Collins is fighting hard, but I'm
spite of this he tried last night to
talk things over with Eamonn de
Valera, who refused to have any
thing to say.
81 will have nothing more to do
with him now" said Mr. Collins to-
day.
Doublin in Favor.
In Dublin II is still insisted that
there is a strong majority in favor
OF ratification and so far as one
can learn from the Dali members
themselves this is so. Almost
everyone one talks to is for ratifi-
cation but processes not to know
the opinions of the others.
Professor MacNeill, the speaker OF
Dali Eireann. said today, that he
hoped for ratification. and DR.. Eng
lish. a Dublin woman physician.
who is a member of Dali, said:
Can nothing be done TO prevent
them from splitting the country on
an issue like this7"
W. Cosgrovs, the minister for
home affairs, also said that he was
hopeful that ratification would pass
when the final vote was taken.
Wants New Oath.
] learn that Mr.. de Valera's chief
objection to the sreaty Is the form
of the oath. He had framed an oath
OF allegiance himself, which his
opponents say was far more hu-
initiating to Irish pride than the one
agreed on in the treaty. and he in
sists that the plenipotentiaries had
no right to agree to a change Mr.
de Vaelra also Is opposed even to
a temporary recognition OF parti-
ton:
. On this point. Prof. MacNeill. who
is an Ulster Catholic himself. say
that he is quite wiling to wait a
year or two until the pressure Of
economic forces compels Ulster to
come to ireland. In one instance
that he quotes. the Ulster boundary
cuts through 100 individual hold
ings of land so that the owners
in each case have dual citizenship.

II was taken away and torn up
by members OF the Irish Republican
police. Blank walls and boardings
around the university were marked
up with various legends, such as,

There was a strong rumor tonight
that both sides may agree to pleb-
iscite in the event OF a failure to
get together, but a straight one is
more likely. II a plebiscite is taken
the country probably will be eight
to two In favor OF ratification.
