MRS. POULIN KISSED
AS She TESTIFIES,
DEFENDING SPOUSE.
Tiernan ShuOts Lie!'
When Charged Father
Of Illinois Child.

SOUTH BEND. Ind. Sept. 21.-
Mrs. Mae PouIin, wife of Harry
Poulin, the clothing merchant who
Mrs. Augusta Tiernan charges is
her 10-months-old baby's father.
took the witness stand in the SEN
sational paternity suit here late
today. looked paronizingly down
on Mrs. Tfernan as she contra
dicted part of the story with which
Mrs. Tiernan has tried to tack the
paternity of the child on Poulin
The Kisses of the gallery which
had greeted her as she took the
stand in defens of her husband
seemed not to have disturbed her
at ALL She seemed to be very
happy at the chance to tell her
story.
The charge of Mrs. Tiernan that
her meetings with Poulin had
taken place on Friday nights dur
ing Lent in 1921. when she had
told Tiernsn she was going to
church. were contradicted by Mrs.
Poulin.
Mrs. Poulin declared she had at
tended services with her husband
at st. Joseph's Church every one Of
these Wednesday and Friday nights
except once when Poulin was ILL.,
Mrs. Tlernan looked scornfully at
hrs. Poulin and jol<ed with her hus-
lard
The Kisses which greeted Mrs.
Poulin brought a warning from
Judge Ducomb that if it did not
cease he would have the courtroom
cleared and the kissing stopped.
Prosecutor JellisOn's cross-ex-
animation failed to make any dents
in Mrs. Poulin's story.
Tiernan was the hero of a spec
tacular scene during his cross ex-
by Defence Attorney
Samuel Parker.
Isn't it a fact" Parker asked
Tiernan. that you are the father
of child born in Illinois and that
this child is now being cared for
by a woman in South Bend?'
That's a damned lie and you
know it," thundered Tiernah hs he
beat his fists upon the railing.
Produce the woman and the child!
It's a damned lie / deny it abso-
lutely."

Federal Judge Framing
Opinion on Plea for
Injunction.
FINAL DRAFT MADE
BY ATTY. GENERAL
Only Slight Modification
Of Temporary Stay
Now in Effect

CHICAGO. Sept. 21.-The Daugh-
erty injunction will be upheld. dis
solved. or modified and upheld by
Federal Judge wilkerson Saturday
morning. Meantime. the temporary
restraining order against striking
railroad shopmen Is continued.
Judge wilkerson made this an
nouncement today upon the conclu-
sion OF Attorney General Daugh-
erty's plea that the Injunction be
upheld. declaring that a hasty de-
cisiOn would not be fair either to
the government or the union leaders.
Few Changes Made.
The final writ of injunction which.
IL signed, will be substantially the
same as that involved in the tenn
porary order. was presented to the
court by the Attorney General. The
only notifications made by the gov
ernment In the original are provi-
sions under which union heads
would be permitted to meet. pro-
vided they did not discuss the strike
and the permitting of payments OF
sick and needy benefits which woulo
not affect the conduct o the strike.
In presenting the draft of tho
final Injunction Daugherty said,
it does not question the right of
the man or any number of men to
strike, but II restraints them from
striking back unlawfully.
Four Courses Open.
In such a situation. the govern
ment can do four things he said.
/. Forbid all interference and.
that failing, proceed with civil
suits. as 1t has in the shopmen's
strike.
2. 1t can step aside. inviting
every criminal act destructive of
human rights. or property. of life.
and of transportation" and 'let
those who bear the torch and hold
in their hand the dagger" commit
their acts and then, after all is
said and done, prosecute.
Q. By executive power. II could
call upon the military power, and
legally. NOV down and kiil-how
many"
4. 1t could adopt "a policy OF
innocuous complaeency and let an
archy reign and the mob rule"
Richberg in his closing argument
denied that the shopmen were
bound to abide by the railroad
labor boards decisions. or that a
strike. because II interferes with
interstate commerce. is uplawful
or that labor unions were in vio-
lation OF Federal antitrust laws.

PARIS. Sept. 21.-The British

mates the Dardanelles from the
Asiatic side. Lord Curzon received
this momentous decison from his
government today and viii so in
form Premier Poincare and Count

Great Britain intezds main
tain the integrity of the neutral
zones along the Dardanelles, as well
as of the Straits themselves during
peace negotiations.
Lancashire regiments and naval
detacAments are digging intrench-
ments on Chanak. They are sup
ported by a very large British fleet.
They have received orders from
Field Marshal PIumer. chief Of the
British stan at Constantinople. not
to let the Turks advance into the
neutral zone
Claim Justification.
Britain will stoutly defend to-
morrow the right to maintain an
armed force on Chanak on the
ground that such action was agreed
to by the Turks in the original
armistice. and is not affected by
the mort recent hostiIities between
the Greeks and Turks. Such au-
thority for the reinforcement Of
naval and military detachments at
the Dardanelles is to be presented
as refutation of charges of
British btlligerency.
On the contrary. the British are
inclined to regard the withdrawal
OF French troops from the Asiatic
shore of the neutral zone as
violation of allied solidarity. Lord
Curzon emphasized that point at
the meeting yesterday.
Poincare Plan scrapped.
The Poincare plan based on a
guarantee given to France by the
Turkish. Nationalist government
that the Turks will not cross the
Straits pending NEGOTIATIONS. there
fore Is scrapped
The French premier practically
oers French naval cooperation in
the Dardanelles in return for the
withdrawal OF British troops from
Chanak. The French and British
are even more widely opposed on
the question of Turkish occupation
of Thrace. the British opposing
that. while the French hesitate, and
Italians approve.
Russia Is looming as larger
factor in the negotiations and IL is
pointed out on all sides that any
presetn disposition OF the straits of
the DardanelIes hardly can have a
flavor of permanence without Rus
sia being given consideration.
Russia's Army Now 100000
Allied leaders are not unmindful
that the strength of Russia's army,
100000 strong, is the largest in Eu-
rope and that there is perfect lIason
between the Russian and Turkish
commands.
1t was the British particularly
that insisted on the exclusion Of
Rsussia from the peace conference
meeting at the Quai D'Orsay yes
terday and some sections of the
French press regard this as a slam
at the Soviet leaders because of the
report that France is making over
lures toward a renewal of the old
alliance. Mayor Harriott, of Lyons.
