RUMoR OF PARDON FOR IRISH
 AGITAToR, JAMES LARKIN

New York, March 14.-Leo H. Healy, a Brooklyn lawyer who has been seek ing the release of James Larkin, Irish agitator now imprisoned at Dannemora for criminal anarchy, said today that Governor Miller had under considera- tion a pardon, perhaps on St. Patrick s day.
 Now that Larkin Is eligible for parole, Healy said, considerable pressure for his pardon has been brought to bear up- on the governor, who, he declared, had recently ordered sent to him all papers connected with the case.
 If freed Garkin would return to Ire land, Healy said. Once back home, Lar kin, in MT. Healy's opinion, would prove 1 a potent force in uniting the factions led apart by De Valera and Collins.
 "I believe he has a greater following in Ireland than either of them" MT Healy said. He added that he did moi know whether Larlzin would align him self on the side of those favorable te the recent treaty between Ireland ant i Great Britain, or stick to the fight fol an independent republic.

ACCUSED OF LOBBYING
 FOR INSURANCE COMPANIES

New York, March 14.-Jesse S. Phil lips, former state superintendent of in- surance, today was accused of lobbying as the representative of vast combine of insurance companies to defeat the in surance bills now before the legislature, by Samuel Untermyer, counsel for the Lockwood legislative committee.
 MT. Untermyer named others as CO., lobbyists, but said MT. Phillips was "the most dangerous and insidious of the lot because of his long residence in Albany, his former official position and his vast acquaintanceship.'
 'fI don't believe that our program of necessary and constructive legislation will be defeated" MT. Untermyer said. If any of the important bills are beaten it will be because of the work os mvisi- ble government in the form of a third house under leadership of Mir Phillips and his associates and because many of the men in the assembly have not the l time to read the committees report and form their own judgments"

GIRL MADE BRAVE
 FIGHT AGAINST BANDIT

New York, March 14-Operating on a street so crowded as to interfere with the actions of a detective less than if- ty feet distant, a lone bandit in day. light today held up Miss Rae Abel, a girl cashier, on Third avenue, near l23rd street, and escaped in a taxicab with S6,600 payroll.
 The girl, employed by Deutsch broth CTS, Harlem furniture dealers. was re- turning in her employers car from a bank at Lenox avenue and 125th street. As she alighted. the robber sprang from a taxi in which he had been following her, seized her by the throat so that she could make no outcry, and twisted her arm to make her drop the bundle of money.
 The girl held on. Bravely she strug- gled with her assailant. Breaking his hold on her throat, she whirled around. clutched his coat and called to her chauffeur for assistance. F Meanwhile Detective Michael Murphy, standing directly across the street, tried to force his way through the traffic. Seeing the robber about to break away from the girl, he fired. The girl, think ing the shot came from the robbers confederate in the taxi, for a second re- leased her grip and the highwayman darted into the waiting cab with the money. In a moment he was lost in the traffic.
 But the girl still kept her head. She was able to give the police the taxFs li- cense number.
 The car later was found deserted on East 149th street. On the floor was sprinkled some change. The two occu- pants had disappeared.

 Thirty-one states, besides British do- minions, will participate at the meet ing. England, France, Italy, Japan, Belgium, Russia and Germany are each entitled to five principal delegates, each delegate having one vote. The other countries will have only two delegates each and, consequently, two votes.

 Since Genoa has insufficient accommo- dation for all the delegations, some will be housed outside the city. The Russian delegation, for example, comprising SC members, will be given a hotel at Santa Margherita, IT miles from the city.
