Lands Says Aim
Will Be to Keep
Baseball Clean

New York, June 21-Federal Judge
Lands, high commissioner of base
ball, who attended today the raising
of the Brooklyn championship pen
nant at Ebbett's field replied to his
critics in an address at luncheon of
the Kings County Judiciary at the
Brooklyn Club.
"If, after seven years, I step down
as high commissioner of baseball and
leave the game as clean as it is today
/ will feel proud of my record" he
| said 81 will feel that it offers ample
refutation of the charge that it is
undignified for member of the jul
dietary actively to be associated with
professional baseball.
Honesty in baseball is necessary
for it's continuance as the great
American game, and it must be kept
clean at all hazards. We must, from
the major leagues down to the small
est semi professional team see that
the game is played honestly and
squarely."
Judge Lands added that baseball
had to combat both professional
gambling, which corrupts' players, an
the pool which, he said, propagated
the gambling habit among the young.
In the last seven months, he declared
the evils which brought about the re-
cent scandals had been rooted out.

C0LBY'S HUNDREDTH BENEATH WILLOWS
SAYS PISTOL FOUND
ON SACCO WAS USED
IN DOUBLE KILLING

Dedham, Mass, June 21-Captain
Charles ]. Van Amburgh. testifying
as small arms expert at the trial of
Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzet-
tree last year, today declared he was
inclined to the belief that the bullet
which killed one of the victims was
fired by the pistol found on Sacco
when he was arrested.
Captain William H. Proctor of the
state police, testifying as an expert
in the study of discharged cartridges
and bullets, asserted that his opinion
on the Allessandro Berardelli death
bullet was consistent with Captain
Van Amburgh's belief.
Beside the measurements of the
grooves made by the rifling of the
weapon which fired it, there were ir-
Irregularities on the death bullet virtu-
ally Identical with similar irregulari-
ties on other bullets fired from Sacco's
pistol, Captain Van Amburgh said.
Examination of the bore of Cacco's
pistol, he added, showed several i'm
projections which might have made
the irregularities on the bullets. Chief
among them was a pronounced rough
streak in the rifling due to rust or
powder fouling.
Captain Van Amburgh alSo said the
similarity between the shells he fired
from Sacco's pistol and one of sew
eral shells found at the scene of the
murder was very strong in the firing
pin indentatfons on them and the con-
dition of the edges of the she'll cas-
ings.
On cross-examination he said Sac
cos pistol had not been used great
deal On redirect examination he
said he knew of no other weapon
which made the same width grooves
on bullets of that calibre and had a
left-hand twist to the rif1ing.
Pictures purporting to bse enlarged
photographs of the six bullets found
in the bodies of the murdered men
were submitted to the experts by the
defense, but the witnesses said they
could tell nothing definite from such
pictures.
The other five bullets found in the
slain mems bodies were fired by one
weapon. an automatic pictol of an
other type than Saccos, both experts
said.
Captain Van Amburgh and Captain
Proctor were positive that the bpller
which killed Berardelli had been fired
from an automatic pistol of the same
make and calibre as the weapon found
on Sacco.
District Attorney Katzmann an
nounced tonight that the state prob
ably would rest it's case the first
thing tomorrow morning, although he
reserved the right to call more wit
nesses if an overnight survey of the
evidence prompted him to do so.

Denver, Colo, June 21-A bitter or
atorical fight over the Irish question
was precipitated on the floor of the
convention of the American Fedora
ton of Labor late today and was at
its height when President Gompers
adjourned the convention until to-
morrow.
The debate started when the reso-
lutions committee reported a substi-
tute for the four resolutions intro
duced by Irish sympathizers. The
substitute ignored the effort to initi-
ate a boycott against British manu-.
features and imports.
The committees report disposed of
the Irish question by asking the con-
vention to reaffirm its sympathy for
the Irish cause by urging recognition
of the Irish republic and by urging
trial and punishment for British
army men guilty of atrocities in Ire
land.
No sooner had the committees re-
port been read when Cornelius Foley,
delegate from the BARRIERS Union.
took the floor, reading a telegram
from Harry Boland, secretary to Ed
NOM de Valera. provisional "presi-
dent of the Irish Republic" which
read:

URGE REPEAL OF
FEDERAL POWER AND
DAM ACT OF 1910

New York, June 21.-Repeal of the
Federal power act and the general
dam act of 1910 in the belief that
such action would open the path to-
ward immediate hydro electric devel-
opments throughout the country was
advocated today by speakers at a
conference of manufacturers with the
water power league of America.
To do away with this legislation
would automatically return to the
War department it's former authority
over the streams, speakers said, and
remove present hindrances to devei-
oping the potential water power OF
the nation.
T. Kennard Thomson, a New York
engineer, advocated the damming OF
the Niagara river four miles below
the falls so that the tremendous pow
err of the stream could be harnessed
without marring the natural beauty
of the waterfall.

BORAH MOVE TO
DISARM REBORN IN
PACT OF CONFEREES

Washington, June 21-The dead
lock between the Senate and House
over the naval appropriation bill
was broken today by the conferees
with virtual agreement to lop off
about $90.OOO.OOO of the $4,000, 900
added to the bill by the Senate and
with the right of the House to vote
directly on the Borah disarmament
amendment.
There are still many minor tangles
to be cleared away. but the con-
ferees were reported in substantial
agreement on all major points.
According to the plan as worked
out today the navy personnel, in
Guiding naval aviation, will stand
| somewhere between 100000 and
100000 House members holding out
for the smaller total.
Many Republicans were plainly
surprised tonight when they found
, that the Borah amendment, precise
ly as passed by the Senate would
come back to the House, reports that
House leaders would insist upon the
Porter disarmament resolution con-
curing. ''in the declared purpose of
President Harding" to call an inter-
national conference on ornaments as
substitute for the Borah proposal
n n
between Great Britain, Japan and
the United States, were met with
the statement that the House men,
bers of the conference would not
TAX part in such a course.
1t was pointed out that when the
conference report was laid before the
House, the way would be opened for
parliamentary battles, but it was
stated on the other hand, that the
upon the clear and absolute under
standing that the Senate managers,
in agreeing to wholesale reductions
in the bills total, did so upon condi-
ton only that Borah proposal should
not be sidetracked.
AS the naval bill passed the House
it carried approximately 1896. 600, 900.
1t will come back, according to au-
thentic reports with about $5,OOO.OOO
added, but with the understanding
that the House managers will not
oppose certain other items which
would run it up few millions more.
Exact figures were not available to-
night but it was said that when the
bill is finally presented to the House.
probably Thursday, it will show all
but from eight to twelve million dol
lars of the $9S,OO0,0O0 Senate in

New York, June 21-(By the

cution in cooperation with Mr.. I'm
termyer.
It was also authoritatively learned
that Mr.. Untermyer was thoroughly
satisfied, after the conference, that
Mr.. Daugherty's department was in
dead earnest and if supplied with
funds by Congress, would push the
prosecution to a finish. Plans called
for assembling of a big force OF
prosecutors and investigators.
AL levidence against the combines
in alleged violation of the antitrust
laws which was gathered by the
Lockwood committee has been
turned over to the federal authori-
ties. A committee from the New
York Fire Insurance Exchange today
informed Mr. Untermyer that it had
adopted resolutions carrying out the
Lockwood committees demand that
Determinations against mutual com
panies and brokers be eliminated.
Committees fro mvarious fire in

English Lords
Again Talking on
Irish Question

London, June 21-The House OF
Lords resumed today the debate on
the Irish situation, adjourned from
June 16. Lord Salisbury blamed the
government for it's failure to post
pone the elections in the south. he
said the elections had simply pro-
vided an opportunity for the Irish
people to declare in favor of repNb-
lie, for moderate opinion was COM
pletely controlled by extreme opin-
ion. The government could only con-
tinue to experiment but ought to an
nounce any amendments to the home
rule act it was prepared to propose.
The Earl of Desart doubted whether
anything could be achieved by pri-
vate discussion.
Lord Dunraven emphasized the
chaos and confusion prevailing in
Ireland and said that deliverance
could come only by legislation
amending the act in direction
which would be supported by mod
crate opinion.
The government, he declared, had
made a mistake in not appealing
straight to the Irish people. He did
not believe they were republicans at
heart. While nobody could say that
a liberal measure would be accepted
now, he was positive it would have
been accepted six months ago. He
urged the government to put it to
the test.
Viscount Birkenhead, lord high
chancellor, abiding to the viceroy's
recent speech which he construed as
implying that the home rule act
needed prompt and drastic amend
ment, said it was not the object of
the viceroy to make any important
pronouncement on the subject of
policy.

King. great King. Arthur the King!
What are thy dreams where no birds
In Avalon where sleep is long.
And no sound comes of martial song.
Where tapping waves with ceaseless
beat
Make music in thy far retreat,
And moving winds upstir the leaves
Beneath the spell that Merlin weaves.
What are thy dreams. o King?
Sir Tristram persisted, and Gawain.
Sir BorS will never arm again.
The peasant tramples down the place
Where rests the clay of Mordred base,
The Breton coast sees but the wrath
Of Launcelot's proud broken faith,
Guinevere is only name,
Lovely and frail and sad of fame.
What are thy dreams. O King?
Though courage, pride. desire fail.
And love itself may not avail
Though crumbling vows betray high
trust,
And all that wisdom wrought is dust
The vision of thy great empr1se
Yet CLEANS before mans eager eyes,
And still that Honor shall be sought
For which not vainly thou hast fought.
These are thy dreams, . King!
