bAketeers by a 24-1S score. This

nt1al series of the combinations for

1When the first half started both
teams played fashy ball for about
the first eight minutes, and then the
pArochial school team slackened up
while the John street boys forged
ahead for a several point lead which
they kept until the end Of the per-
lod. The defense line of the win
mig team was working like clock
work and the %parochial school bas-
keteers found it almost impossible to
get a clear shot inside their fifteen

With the start of the second half
things looked a bit Upright for the
home team, as Roland Kennedy soon
after the first tap at center took the
ball through for a two pointer. This
was the last, however, for some
time, as Kennedy was injured soon
after and this with the absence of
Gleason, who is at the local hospital
under an operation, added consid-
erably to weaken the chances of the
st. Mary's team. Occasionally the
Augusta street boys would come
within a few points of the winning
team, but the John street boys
would step right away and increase
their lead again. Oliver and Geant
were the high scorers for the John

he said. He summed them up as fol-

Insists on Independence.
The independence of ireland and
the integrity of its territory cannot
be surrendered. All governmental
authority in Ireland. Legislative. eX-
ecutive and judicial. is derived ex-
clu.lvely from the people of Ireland.
All questions of national policy must
be decided by the free vote of all the
people of Ireland"
Regarding this question Of free
vote he was more specific in for

Free State government. he said, had

a full and fair plebescita. The MILL
tary strength of the Free State forces
and their control OF the press had en-
abled them to misrepreScnt the situa-
ton and paint the republicans as
rebels.
The pending elections as a test of
the will of the people are Inaccurate
and unfair" he concluded.
Many VIII not Vote.
Not one-half of the republican
strength is likely to be polled or eff
fective. The republican political or
ganization has been broken up. There
are from ten to fifteen thousand re-
publicanS, men and women, in Jail,

1t was a stunning answer. 1t came.
like a CLEAN of sunshine out of storm
clouds, sending ray of mental sun
shine over the dusty dump. 1t was 50
sudden, so unexpected an answer to
hear from the lips of the man sitting
there motionless on the ash heaps.

thing comes to the dump in time
Hopes of years and dreams of youth
all come to the dump in time. Yon

perhaps once adorned the parlor of the

dance have gone to the dump. too.
Perhaps they are sitting in more ra-
diant splendor. beneath brighter and
newer chandeliers, their old friend
forgotten.
Who knows? Everything comes to

Paper and Old Magazines.
Here come great loads of paper, old
magazines, newspapers, rags. The
magazines are coverless and yellow
with age. The newspapers, containing
the embalmed work of many men the
world over, now lie forlorn on the
heaps, with none so poor to pay them
reverence except men binding them
into bales to sell for a few pennies.
As for the rags, they are being col
lected, to be transformed somewhere,
some day into paper.
They tell tale, on the dumps, of
man who managed to make a COM
plete automobile out of things he
picked up on the dumps. They admit
that he had the chassis and the en-
gine. but declare that all the rest he
got on the dumps.
BY raking around he found old
tenders. for instance. He took them
home. cleaned them with kerosene,
and repainted them, then fitted them
to his car. He went back to the dump,
and by dint of searching. managed to
locate other necessary parts of COM
plete automobile.
BY dint of much cleansing and
painting, his car soon was reftted
from the dumps, and for long time
went around the streets, but few per-
sons suspecting that most of its
equipment came from the jumping

HUNT TWO WOMEN
IN SUTPHEN DEATH
Police BaffIed by Staying OF
Private Secretary-Cyan-
ide in Pipe Theory.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK August 2s.-Another
chapter in Broadway's night life
slowly is being revealed to police IN
their search for the murderer of John
H. Sutphen, a private secretary who
was found dead. warm pipe in his
mouth, day before yesterday.
Two f1ashily dressed women. the
presence of cyanide in Sutphen' s
stomach. third woman known as
Mrs. Sutphen." who lived in his
apartment, and real Mrs. Sutphen
III New Jersey, were the tangible
.acts police had to work on. 1t also
was learned that Sutphen, although
working at a comparatively small
salary. had been paying high rent for
more than a year for the Central Park
West apartment which he occupied
Women in Apartment.
The two women were first seen in
Sutphen's apartment by a medical ex-
aminer who went to the spot when
the secretary's body first was discov-
cred by a friend who said he had
taken Sutphen home In an intoxicat-
ed condition the night before.
One of the mysteries confronting
the police is how the poison was .ad-
miDistered. NO glasses showing traces
of cyanide had been found in the
apartment and this was partially ac-
countable for the police discarding
the suicide theory. There was sug-
gestion that the death potion had
been placed in the stem Of Sutphen's
pipe.
No definite motive could be found
for the murder, although police
stressed the Importance of finding the
women seen in the apartment.
Lived on Lavish Scale.
Sutphen's expenditures and their
relation to his probable income as
private secretary to George A. Helme.
tobacco and snuff manufacturer, were
studied by the police.
Sutphen lived lavishly. paying $12.-
900 year for his apartment and pre-
sumably paying also for the home in
which his wife and child live in
New Jersey. The apartment was
stocked with liquors and elaborately
furnished
Sutphen was said to have inherited
$500. 900 from his mother. who died In
Englishtown. n. j.. little over a
week ago. He is said to have been
interested in other pursuits. including
an automobile accessory business.

Legion Official Urges Air
Disarmament ParIey Sug-
gested by Veterans Body.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, August 2S.--
Lemuel Bolles, national adjutant of
the American Legion, in a statement
last night. expressed qualification
that President Coolidge is in accord
with the proposal of an "air disarma-
ment conference" recently advanced
by the American Legion, but stated
that the legion was unalterably op-
posed to curtailing Americas air
force unless other nations also dis
arm.
The President recently was repre-
sented as being of the opinion that
the time was not now opportune for
such conference. but was said to be
willing TO take any steps in line with
the legions suggestion whenever the
time appeared propitious.
Majority for Proposal shown.
Mr.. BolleS declared a poll OF the
nation taken recently by the legion
on the proposal indicated that a pre-
ponderant majority of the people
, and declared the people should be in
formed of the cause OF any other
country's reluctance to enter such a
conference.
What nations are -unfavorably dis
posed to a conference and why are
they unfavorably disposed?" the state
ment asked IF not a conference,
what suggestions for ending the air
race have they to make? We think
these answers should be forthcoming
and should be public property and
not diplomatic secrets"
The suggestion. emanating from
official quarters in Washington, that
the United States refrain from COM
petitiye building is opposed by the
legion, Mr.. BolleS asserted.
Reasons for Opposition.
"A proposal of this nature is dia-
metrically opposed to every legion
precept of national defense" the
statement said. Our stand should be

inha bitants. except for a few me
who go at the salvaging in a method

playing about.
Continued building operations have
resulted in practically all the public
dumps In the District being filled in
and covered over. some of them al
ready built upon. others to be covered
with buildings before many years.
That is why the crippled colored
man. his legs gone at the knees. sits
at the dump between the Highway
bridge and the Arlington eriment
farm. He is a modest man, in his
way. resolutely refusing to allow his
photograph to be taken, at the same
time that he philosophizes about the
dumps and their past glories.
Just Odds and Ends.
What do you get here, uncle?" he
was asked.
"Oh, odds and ends. odds and ends"
he replied. gazing out over the dusty
expanse across which could be seen
a horse and wagon, with couple of
boys delving through the heaps, rails
ing up. now and then, to throw some
thing in the wagon. A haze of fine
ash-dust blew across the dump.
Don't you ever get anything valu-
able?"
The philosopher smiled.
Sometimes We gets a few spoons or
knives"
Il suppose lots of them are thrown
away carelessly?"
"Oh. quite a few. quite a few"
