Oreste Copsonni, fourteen years old.
finally got into the United States yes
terday when he arrived on Board TIC
Roussillon of the French Lire. 1t was
Oreste's second attempt, as he had 70
make one round trip from France, and
back here before he succeeded,
as we'll as obtain papers Of approval
from three European governments.
oreste's first attempt was in June,
when he came here with his aunt, Mrs.
Joseph Minetto, whose husband con-
ducts a restaurant at 112 West Forty
eighth Street. The Minettos have 40
children and Oreste's aunt, while on
visit to relatives in France and Switz-
erland last Spring, decided to adopt
the boy and bring him back with her.
His parents were dead. and he was Iiv-
ing with his maternal grandfather in
the town of Bellinzona, in the Swiss
Alps near the Italian border. The
grandfather gave his consent, SO Mrs.
Minetto procured papers, showing
that she had adopted him, from the
Italian Government, since he had been
born in Italy, and from the Swiss and
French authorities for good measure.
Encounter American Red Tape
But when Oreste and his aunt ar
rived here on the Rochambeau at noon.
on June 30, they found that the Amer
lean brand of red tape was much more
eftcacious and binding than the sew
eral European varieties with which
they We're armed. They were informed
that the Italian quota for the year had
run out about three weeks before. and
that the new quota would not be avail
able for twelve hours. Oreste would
have to go back.
Mrs. Minetto contested her nephew's
case while the latter was held at Ellis
Island, but on July 20 she gave up
the fight and the boy went back to
Havre on the French liner Chicago to
make another start for America.
When Oreste arrived yesterday his
aunt was at the pier 20 meet him, and
since they knew all about him by that
time the immigration authorities will
lngly released him in Mrs. Minetto's
custody, with instructions for her to
call at Ellis Island "at her convenience"
TO appear before special board of
inquiry.
Anxious To Be Citizen
Technically, oreste is not "in" yet,
but some time to-day he will probably
be eXtricated from the complexities OF
the law in which he is enmeshed and
will be in a position to prepare for
ms flrst citizenship papers, which.
oreste says, he is going to get as soon
as he can.

First T our Years Worst,
Taft Tells Law Fledglings
Humility They Get Waiting for
Clients Is Good for Them,
However. He Adds

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 1.-THE hu-
mility acquired by young lawyers in
the first four lonesome years" while
waiting for clients is good founda-
tion for success in the legal profess
sion, Chief Justice Taft told class of
ninety-tive students who were admitted
to practice in the California courts.
Nine of the class were women.
"You will find the world is not wait
ing for your services" he said, ex-
planning that he spoke from the ex-
perience of his first few years after
graduation from the Yale Law School,
"but while you are waiting for clients
use your leisure time to study. Do
not neglect the routine of your work,
but serve your own summonses and
papers, because this will give you the
useful training in the routine that is
necessary. in the practice of the law.
"But do not lose heart. Clients will
come to you and success eventually will

Harding Ready
To Remove Seal.
On Miami Cable
Emergency Use of Banned
Line to the Barbados is
Favored by President if
State Department. Agrees
Will Connect With Europe
Wire Needed to Relieve
Congestion, Carlton Says
i'm Plea to White House

According to dispatches received
last night from Washington, President
Harding probably will grant the re-
quest made yesterday by Newcomb
Carlton, president of the Western
Union Telegraph Company, that his
company be permitted to use the
banned Miami cable in the emergency
caused by the seizure of cables by Irish
irregulars.
The Miami cable to che British Bar
bados was landed by the Western
Union during the Wilson administra-
ton, but was promptly put under seal
by the government on the grounds that
the landing in the United States of a
cable connecting with the British cable
to Brazil would only serve to enlarge
the monopoly. held by the British com
pany in that country.
Mr.. Cartoons wire to President Hard.
ing read:
CAS- you are aware, there is seri-
Gus shortage Of cable facilities be.
tween the United States, Great Britain
and Europe, and communications vital
to international business are now
being seriously delayed, while press
dispatches are practically prohibited
for lack Of facilities to transmit them.
Temporary License Urged
Under these circumstances we re-
spectfully suggest that you grant a
temporary license to operate the Miami
cable for European business only. This
new route via Miami will considerably
reduce the present inordinate delay
that all cable stations on the Irish
coast will not be destroyed in the
fighting, thereby greatly adding to the
delay In restoring normal cable com
munications, we believe that it will be
to the interests Of the government,
press and public to augment the pres
ent meager facilities by every possible
route.
Should you approve this application
operation can be begun at once"
1t was stated at the White House
that the President believed the neces-
sary permission should be granted,
obstacle to put in the way.
No Word On Seized Cables
Officials of the Commercial Cable
Company and the Western Union said
yesterday that they have received no
information concerning the nine cable
stations in Ireland since their seizure
on Sunday. They also stated that
there was no change in the situation,
except for slight decrease in the
congestion over the lines to penzance,
England. The Commercial Cable Com
pany has no communication at present
with Great Britain, Ireland, France,
Germany and Northern Europe, but are
sending messages at the sender's risk
via the Azores.
In .the meantime many messages to
Europe are being handled by the ALI
America Cables via South America,
although the tariff is about five times
greater than the normal rate.

Remark ON Hylan's
Hair and Governors
Chair Tickles Mayor
Hizzoner Joins Laugh When
Connolly Tells Estimate
Board That Next Cover
nor Will Be Red-Headed

Apparently Mayor Hylan doesn't
mind being called red-headed when the
epithet carries a political pat on the
back. He took no offense yesterday
when Borough President Maurice E..
Connolly of Queens predicted that the
people of this state would have "red-
headed Governor" after the fall cleo
tions. The Mayor good-naturedly
joined in the political by-play at the
special meeting of the Board of Esti-
mate.
"Looks as if we were going to have a
red-headed Governor" said the Queens
Borough President, smiling and bowling
at the Mayor. "The people are going
to change their luck. Wonder when we
had red-headed Governor last?"
The Mayor Joined in the laugh which
followed, but lodged the question and
indulged in one of his favorite indoor
sports of attacking the newspapers and
the interests"
"In the next election the people are
going to sidetrack> the entire traction
crowd" said the Mayor. "For many
years the traction crowd have named
the candidates, regardless Of party af-
filiations. But the time has now come
when the people are going to name
their own candidates. The traction
crowd may get away with one nomina-
tion this year, but not with both"
The board then took up more serious
matters and considered report from
the Board of Education Gn regard to
the new. public schools which are ex-
pected to be completed this fall in
time to accommodate several thousand
more children. Morris Warschauer
presented the report. He said that be-
tween fifteen and twenty Of the fifty or
more new schools now in course Of con-
struction were expected to be fnishbd
this fall.
Mr.. Warschauer asked that dates be
set at which title may be vested in the
city for five other new schools and one
addition. These new schools, contain
ing forty y-eight classrooms. will cost
approximately S6,0o0,0O0. He also said
that the Board Of Education was ready
to advertise for contracts for twenty
FIVE additional schools.

Underwood Begins Senate
Fight ON Claims Board
u. Sherman Commission Is
Illegal, Says Sponsor of
AlE-American Board

From, The Tribume's Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-Senator I'm
derwood, of Alabama, declared to-day
that the decisions of the mixed claims
commission, on which the President has
agreed with Germany would not have
any standing in court of law if hti-
cation arises. He is preparing to fight
the agreement. He asserted the agree
ment left the whnle question of Amer
lean claims againt Germany up in the
air, and he believed legislation would
be necessary to protect American
claimants.
At the White House it was said that
the President felt that approval of the
agreement by the Senate was unneces-
sary. Congress would be called upon,
however, it was said, to provide money
to defray the expenses Of the commits
sion.
Senator Underwood is preparing a
statement of his views, which he will
submit to Senator Cummins, chairman
Of the Interstate Commerce Committee,
which is considering the Underwood
bill, for an all-American commission
to pass on the American claims.
The Senator said he would press this
bill. He holds that an executive order
cannot be above the law. He also holds
that American claimants should have
their claims settled as indicated in the
Versailles treaty, and predicts compli-
cations otherwise.
In high quarters in Administrator
circles it was said there were many
precedents for the President being the
proper agent of the government in deal
ing with claims. against foreign gov
ernment. One high official said that
whenever there are claims against
foreign government the executive has
the authority under we'll established
precedents to represent the claimants

WATERFORD, Ireland, Aug. II (By
The Associated Press National troops
have occupied Clonmel, County Upper
ary, without serious fighting, although
sharp encounters had occurred previ-
ously in the surrounding districts.
The national commander divided his
forces and advanced from the North,
South and East. Artillery was en-
ployed to dislodge the irregulars from
the outer defenses, but after the fall
of Kilmore the irregulars decided to
evacuate7 the city and withdraw rapidly
guard to engage the Nationals and de-
lay their action. On the approach of
the National forces, however, this rear
guard hastened to join the retiring
main body.
Prior to leaving Clonmel the rebels
burned the police and military barracks.
