dermen last night Alderman John
Clark made motion that the street

ing has been indulged in. In his ad-
dress Justice Bergen made no refer
ence to the booze situation.
Immediately after the charge the

a sort of retreat for young fellows
who desired to spend the evening
gambling.
Six old wagons were standing IN
another part of the lot not far from
the pile of stone. According to resi-
dents living nearby, these wagons
had been there for some time. Here
and there about the lot were parts
of old iron beds and places where
paper had been burned. Considera-
BILE odor arises from the filth in back
of the stones and it is this the people
fear may breed disease.
In another part of the lot is a lot
of old timber, which may have been
used for telephone poles. There seems
to be nothing about the stones, wag-
ons or timber that would form a
home for rats but a frame barn that
backs up against the west side of the
lot is no doubt where the rats live. If
the people living in the neighbor-
hood are bothered with rats. it is
possible that they come to the
houses from the barn.

JERSEY CITY, Sept. 20.-An in
vestigation of the Carpentier-Demp
sey fight was suggested by Judge
Sw<yze today to the grand jury. He
asked the jury to determine wheth-
er it was a boxing exhibition under
the meaning of the state law pro-
viding for such entertainment or a
prize fight which would subject par
ticipants and spectators to prosecu-
tion for committing a misdemeanor.
THE law cannot be evaded by
mere Names" said Judge Swayze,
"and If in fact the contest of July 2
was fight and If it was only called
a boxing or sparring match in name
that would not change its essential
character as a crime"

GEORGE
STUDIES NOTE
Offer of Sim Fein That Rep.
reSentatives of Both Sides
Hold Conference
CALLED C0NCILIAT0RY
Seems to Place Upon Premier
Plan of Holding Free
Conference

LONDON, Sept. 20 (By The As
sociated Press)-Premier Lloyd
George had before him today at
Gairloch, Scotland, Sim Fein sug-
gestion that representatives of the
British cabinet meet Sim Fein deli
egates in a conference untrammeled
by conditions. The latest note ex-
changed between the premier and
Eamon de Valera, sent yesterday by
the Irish leader to Mr.. Lloyd George
did not, however. except possibly by
implication, withdraw the offending
paragraph of the Sim Fein note OF
September IL in which the sover-
eighty of the Irish state was as
serted and which led Mr.. Lloyd
George to Cancel his invitation to a
conference.
AS viewed here the latest Irish
note was conciliatory in character,
and 1t seemed to place upon the pre-
mier the choice of holding free
conference or insisting that SOUTH
ern Ireland formally express its al
legiance TO the British crown.
Relieves Situation
1t was generally believed that the
note sent to Mr.. Lloyd George yes
terday marked a step which would
tend to relieve the situation OF some
of the tension which developed late
last week and threatend to end for
time, at least, any hope of an early
settlement of the Irish controversy.
The premier is rapidly recovering
from the indisposition which con-
fined him to his room at Gairloch.
il seemed probable today that before
replying to Mr.. de Valera he would
confer with several members of the
cabinet who are in Scotland.

No RETREAT FOR FRANCE

When we reflect upon Pershing's
Lafayette, we are here on his arriv-
al in France, and upon the high hopes
built by the people Of that country on
s. curing justice from Germany
through the aid of America, there is
EathOs in the statement of former
Premier Viviani, who had come to the
United States in the hope OF promoting
allied unity, that even if all the world
should forsake her, France is resolved
t. make Germany pay and still is
capable of coming out OF this difficulty
alone"
Not that the United States should
back the French militarists CT eXtrem
its in a program of rep9rations be-
yOnd reason but that the French after
all their suffering for civilization and
after the hopes of justice raised IN
their mind. should face such pros
pect as that, intimated by Niviani.
Even among the politicians CT this
country, who gre bent on wrecking tbs
treaty of Versailles and the League o!
Nations upon which France has been
counting so much, there still must be
Il few who are sorry that .Stlteir1 pun
poses require :themt to disappoift 2
former ally so completely.
/ Nevertheless, the spirit she showed
in the war is assurance that France,
no m9tter how many of her allies de
2rt her. will hold unto death TO what
she regards as her rights.
