 This followed a session in the office of United States Marshall Hecht, dur ing, which they resisted stubbOrnly all efforts on the part of attorneys for the surety company which suffered in the $5,000, 900 Wall street thefts, to tell of the present location of the securities. , Both United States District Attor- ney Hayward and District Attorney Banton had for the lastm Onth been attempting to persuade Arnstein and COhn to talk.

FEINERS REJOICE 1. AS DE VALERA
 GAINS FREEDOM
Irish Officials Hope, How
 ever, Leader Power

DUBLIN, July 10.--Eamonn De Va: lera, after almost a years confinment in various Free State prisons for his championship of the republican cause in Ireland, is again a free man.
 Simultaneously with De Valera's re- lease from jail Wednesday evening, Austin Stack, noted Sim Fein leader, was also freed. Stack has been in prison for 15 months. De Valera was jailed last August.
 S Had Been Forecast
 De Vaiera's release, for which his supporters have fought for months, had been foreoast for some time in offieial circles. As news of the governments decision swept through Ireland, Sim Fein groups Ill every village from the hills above Queenstown to the Ulster border burst into open rejoicing.az
 Officials hope, and believe, that De Valera's Imprisonment has robbed him of the almost magic power with which he swept the younger military element in Ireland to the support of the repub- lican movement. They feel that much of tlds influence was lost when, after the brilliant Spahish-Irish leader had repeatedly defied the government, troops finally arrested him when he appeared in public to address Sim Fein gathering.
 De Valera. who was born in New York, has carried the standard of Irish freedom for more than decade. When that freedom was finally won by the creation of the free state, De Valera turned rebel against the Dublin govern ment, holding out for the realization of his original ambition, the creation of an Irish republic.
 Waged Bitter War
 With the secret but powerful or ganization of the I, R. A., the Irish republican army, behind him, "Presi- dent' De Valera waged bitter civil war that kept the south in turmoil. Always hunted, always in hiding, he became a mysterious, almost mythical figure. His hidden armies, men who were civilians by day and soldiers by night, harrassed and terr6rized tie Free State forces. At one time 1t seemed that they might be victorious.
 Internal dissensions in the republican camp, coupled with the continuous war fare against them by the free state troops, finally scattered the republicans With his forces broken, De Valera, leader of lost cause, was arrested on August 16. 1923, .

Eleanor Goss of the American team were eliminated from their respective singles tournaments during the after nook's play, but otherwise the Ameri- cans fared well.
 Myrick only voiced the grouch of other nations when he called attention to the fact that there are only two showers in the women's dressing quar- ters to accommodate large number of women competitors who sometimes come off the courts in groups of half dog. en, and such is the naive innocence of the French officials, that they expected the women to take their showers while carpenters were still working in the room. M
 There is no provision of drinking wa ter near the courts and the players have to fetch their own from the bar. There are no towels for the players to rub down with as they pass the umpire s chair between sets and the press facili. ties are hopelessly inadequate for GOV. ering the swift developments on the courts. ts tise
 Summing up, it might be said that the French conception of championship condition is better adapted to Montana rodeo than such refined sport as lawn tennis. The managers of several other teams had discussed their objec- tions together and at last they came to the Americans and found them to be in q similar state of vexation. ;

COOLIDGE TO AVOID
 SYMPATHETIC NOTE
President Prefers No Reference
 To Death Of Son
Washington Bureau)

WASHINGTON, July 16.-The fact that his young son recently died will not be referred to during the approaching campaign if the President has his way. That he will have his way to reason able extent is regarded as certain.
 When young Calvin died, the nation extended to the White House its deep est sympathy. For the moment no one was democrat or republican. The demo- cratic convention, then in session at New York, actually groaned with its sorrow.
 Some politicians in republican ranks conceived the idea of capitalizing that nationwide sympathy, it is reported. It was their purpose to instruct cam paign orators to draw tears from audi ences by reciting the melancholy facts.
 The President heard of the plans and tabooed them. It is understood that he was highly indignant.
