WHALEN WRATHY
ON AUTO SUBJECT
Objects to Releasing Truck
Until Owner Pays His
Seizure Charge
SAYS HE'LL DEFY
ATTY.-GENERAL

Attorney-General Townsend has
ordered that an automobile truck
seized by Constable Jerry whalen, of
New Castle, and held at a local gar
age under the constable's orders. be
released. The car IS owned by the
Livingstone Construction Company,
Of washington, D. c., and for some
weeks past has been used in road
| construction work near New Cas-
tie.
Willard Smallwood and John Ste
vens. employees OF the company. were
given a hearing before Magistrate
Gluckman on Tuesday morning. on
charges or having in their possession
an untitled car and operating a mo-
tor vehicle without a State license.
Magistrate Gluckman announced
that he did not care to decide the
case until after consulting with the
attorney general. and continued the
case until next Tuesday morning. re-
leasing the defendants upon their
giving cash bail for their appear
ance. He also advised Constable
Whalen to release the truck as the
operators are now under bail. This
Whalen refused to do and an appeal
was made to the attorney general
and the truck ordered released.
The decision Of the Attorney Cen
eral does not meet with the APPROX
al of Constable Whalen, and he did
not hesitate to say what he thought
Of the whole proceeding to Magis-
trate Gluckman this morning.
The Magistrate tried to appease
the irate constable and suggested
that he talk the matter over with
the Attorney General and take his
advice.
Il don't need any advice" declar-
ed Whalen, land I'll tell you right
now that If you decide this case
against me next Tuesday I'm going
to take that truck again and hold
on to it until I get my costs out of
it,"
You had better take advice and
go slow. or you might be arrested
on a charge OF larceny and that
might cost you or your bondsmen
some money" urged Magistrate
Gluckman.
NO. I'll not take any advice and
it's my money I'm spending. I'll
either get that car or they'll paw
me back the money I've spent.

bile laws of this State as any one"
declared Whalen.
The truck in question is said IN
have been taken from a garage in
New Castle by Constable Whalen
without the knowledge of the owners
who supposed the car had been
stolen and reported their loss to the
police in this city.
While it seems to appear that the
Livingstone people had not fully
complied with the automobile laws
Of this State, the main question 10
be settled is whether or not a CON
stable can go into a private or pub-
lie garage and seize car because of
some previous violation of law on
the part of the owners.
The owners claim that the oon-
stable has acted without due pro-
Tess of law aud It is understood nro-
pose to push the case against Con-
stable Whalen, but will first await
he decision of Magistrate GIuckman

WANT u. S. TO SIT
IN NEAR EAST FARLEY

PARIS. Oct. 26.-CUnited Press)
France and England have agreed
to invite the United States to partici-
pate in the Near Eastern peace par
ley to be held at Lausanne on No
vember 10. it was authoritatlvely
stated today.
The French government has back
ed the suggestion OF Lord Curzon
foreign minister OF Great Britain
that America be asked to take part
in the deliberations because the
Lausanne pact will be a modihca-
ton OF the treaty OF Sevres which
was drawn up at the end Of the
world war with American collabora-
ton.
Curzon embodied his suggestion in
a note addressed to the French gov
eminent.
The treaty of Sevres which ban
ished the Turks from Europe is con-
sidered to have been nulllfed by the
victories OF the army of Mustapha
Renal. leader of the Turkish Nation
alsts.
The object OF the Lausanne parley
is to draw up a plan on permanent
peace In the Near East.

BY HENRY L. FARRELL,

Omitted Press Sports Editor).
NEW YORK. Oct. &c Omitted
| Press) Several months ago this
! column announced that the major
league ball players were forming a
union to secure a more equitable
form of contract with the club
owners and to obtain representa-
ton on the national advisory
council.
At that time all the high officials
of baseball ridlculed the reports in
public statements. saying that the
players would not be foolish enough
to shoot at the well known goose.
During the fall meeting Of the
magnates in Chicago, they looked
upon the reports more seriously,
however. and they discussed the
subject at length.
Shortly after the meeting. reports
began to spread that Raymond J.
Cannon, the Milwaukee attorney
who defended several members of
the Black Sox" and who was re-
tanned by some of the players to form
tho organization. was going to use
the union to force the BLACK Sox"
back into baseball. other stories
were circulated that the players
were going to call a general strike
next spring for increased salaries.
Perhaps the club owners had
nothing 10 do with the circulation
Of these reports. but II seemed
rather coipcidental that they all
started after the meeting OF the
Cannon denies that the players
have ever considered a general
strike or an organized effort to
boost salaries. Many OF the leaders
in the movement are satisfied with
the money they are drawing at the
present time, but they want a con-
tract that will guarantee them JUS
tice when they start to slip.

listing form Of contract between the
players and club owners has always

DETENTION HOME
NEED ISURGENT
Probation Officer Handi-
capped Dealing With
Young Offenders
BOY is DETAINED
IN POLICE CELL

Due chiefly 20 the lack OF a deten-
tion house for Juvenile offenders. J.
Paul Green. chief probation officer
OF the Juvenile Court. IS confronted
by two problems dihlcult to solve.
One concerns a boy. now detained In
a police station cell. who Is Inn
movable as far as ei.oiting truth
from him. is concerned and the
other concerns a 16-year-old white
girl who has been taken into custody
in Chester on a charge OF incorrigl-
billty. !
The boy. who gives his name as
George Hart. is awaiting hearing be-
fore the Juvenile Court next We'd
nesday on a charge OF larceny OF a
watch from a man in Green's Ho-
tel, Fourth and Orange streets. Each
day the lad tells Mr.. Green a diff
ferent story concerning himself,
none OF them Of a convincing ma
ture.
George has told Mr.. Green that he
is 10 years old. then 10, and then
again, 16. you've got to let me
go; you're not allowed TO hold a
boy under IA years old. The told the
officer in giving the first age. lie
declines to give information as to
" here his age might be verified by
the court.
The youth relates that he came
here from New York. was educated
in Texas, and has lived in various
parts of the country. As TO what
city in Texas he was educated he
will not say He first said that the
alleged stolen watch was given him
by his grandmother, but later ad-
mitted that ii belonged to his ac-
cuser However, he maintains that
the man gave II to him for assisting
him TO his hotel room.
The case Of the boy Is about the
most difficult that Mr.. Green has
ever faced as far as obtaining the
truth. The probation officer cites.
however, a case of a boy who, about
year and half ago. did not dis
close the truth concerning himself
for about ten days.
Mr.. Green points out that while
the court had a detention home, he
was in a position to associate freely
with offenders and gain their conf
dence. resulting in their giving the
facts concerning themselves. A po-
lice station cell, however. does not
offer such an advantage. with the
consequence that with young Hart
Mr. Green is experiencing about the
most difficult problem that he has
ever had.
The girl that Is causing Mr.. Green
much concern Is a Georgetown girl.
In letter TO Mr. Green. the pro-
tective officer of the Department of
Public Safety Of Chester states that
the girl worked irregularly at Mar
Gus Hook, where a brother is en-
ployed. and that her conduct was
far from laudahle. She was sent
back to her mothers home in
Georgetown, but later returned 20
the protective officer. saying that
she was unable to secure employ
ment in her home town and ask
ing that work be obtained for her
near Chester.
Work was obtained for her, the
letter sets forth, but the girl declined
TO accept II. She returned to her
former habits with the result that
she was again taken into custody
and is now held for the Delaware au-
thorities, inasmuch as a Delaware
-ylvania institution.

been a subject OF dissatisfaction
TO tho players. In effect It Is no con.
tract at all, because the players
have no recourse outside OF an APP
peal to Commissioner Lands.
Here again the players object 10
the personnel OF the national advis-
DRY commission, which deprives
them OF representation or a voice in
settling arguments which concern
only the players and the club owner.
So far Commissioner Lands has
wisely held aloof from salary argu-
ments. but he will be forced into the
controversies eventually and the
presence Of a player on the board
would not make his task any more
difficult.
Cannon claims that he was retain
several of the BLACK Sox" and
that he never entertained the no.
ton Of getting their jobs back.
In spite OF the general sentiment
against them, most of the fair
minded fans agreed that Comiskey
had no legal or moral right to with
hold the money that was coming to
the hayward players under the con-
tracts which he had signed.
Names OF the players interested
in the organization OF the union and /
the players who have signed for
have not been made |
public and Il will be a surprise when /
they are published. The organization
will not lack dignity when the
is made known.
Propaganda coming from rather
sources Is beng directed
against Cannon for no Just reason.
He is a young attorney who fought
for his education and is now fight
ing to get ahead in his profession.
He accepted a retainer with the
BLACK Sox" because he felt they
had a just case and he should not
be condemned for fighting for his
clients.

AN INDIAN TRIBE

Hamilton Rice in a lecture before
the Lowell institute. The trihs
lives on the Icana river. a branch
of the upper Amazon, where Dr
Rice went on a trip of exploration.

to be permanent residents of ina

men who were there came mostly

tribe of self-supportive women. Wis
tied from time to time by men of
other tribes, came to the explor-
er's mind with his discovery. he
said, and indicated to him that he
might have found the basis for the
legend.
During his lecture, DR.. Rice was
asked If he believed that former
President Roosevelt's life had been
shortened by the effects Of bis
South African journey. He re-
piled:
Eyes, he died from the effects Of
his journey to South Africa. There
was not doctor in New York who
knew what allied him."
The object of DR.. Rice's explor-
alton was mainly to determine the
character of the country surround
ing the Itilla, Mesaya and Inirida
rivers, and to identify these rivers.
At San Martin he found 800 per-
sons served by three priests who
bemoaned their lack of knowledge
of medicine. Many of their par
ishioners were suffering from. dis
ease. DR.. Rice's examinations de-
veloped that they carried the ter
tian form of malarial parasite and
the epidemic skin disease known
as pinta, a particularly disfiguring
form. Daily DR.. Rice was begged
for relief by the sufferers. s.
