Speech Is Sensation.
Sir John Simon. former home sec.
retary, has created a great sensation
by his speech in Parliament declaring
that unions which joined the general
strike in violation of their various
trade agreements have committed an
illegal act. and that this made every
member Of such unions personally re.
sponsible to his last pound for the
damage done by the general strike.
An official statement issued tonight.
by the council of the trades union con-
gress says:
I'VE are bound to repudiate afresh
the allegation that the trades unions
congress Is engaged in an attack on
the community. 1t appears to us
that strenuous attempts are being
made to turn the public mind into a
channel that we are engaged iii &
fight against the constitution. and
that this is purely political struggle
camouflaged in an industrial dispute.
I'VE are not fighting the public. nor
are we attempting to overthrow con-
Stitutional government. The trades

general stoppage that contracts

Is industrial Struggle"
I'VE began the struggle, ar1 it is
being carried on by the council, as
an industrial struggle. In our judg-
ment the argument of Sir John Simon
and the cabinet ministers that we are
engaged in an attempt to overthrow
the constitution is a wilful and de
liberate attempt to confuse the issue.
The statement then refers to "an
attempt being made to confuse and
prejudice the position of the trade
union movement by the allegation
that we have received money from
Moscow and reiterates that the
money sent from Moscow was return
ed to the Russian organization.
The council, it is announced, has
decided to instruct the unions that
all men in work shall be called upon
to pay per cent Of their wages
as a levy for strike funds. The council
is appealing to trade unions and sym
pathizers abroad for financial contri-
buttons.

Clad In Underwear.
He was clad in his underwear. He
said that he had overalls to wear dur
ing the day at work, but that they
were taken from him every evening
after work was finished. He would be
without his outer clothing until Mon
day morning when he returned to
work, he said.
Yes, lAe said, he wore the leg irons
at work. He tucked his trousers in
side Of them. They had been welded
on. he said, at q blacksmith shop.
The committee learned that Oc-
coquan at present was accommodat ting
approximately 425 men and less than
so women. They learned that the
workhouse and reformatory occupied
approximately l. 800 acres. The pris-
oners there, they learned, are short

BY the time that the inquiry as to

He waved his hand to them and

Women's Quarters Spotless.
1t was the women's quarters that
| aroused particular comment. The
committee found the floors scrubbed
to a white fineness resembling the
| deck of a holystoned battleship. The
| food was in an antiquated but we'll
kept refrigerator.
The linen on the beds in the dor
mitory was white and spotless. The
spreads were neatly ironed and all
the beds apparently had been care
fully made up.
The kitchen matched the rest Of
the quarters.
All in all, the committee found that
with the exceptions of the bad cells"
and the fact that many of the build
ings are OF frame construction which
made fire a particular menace. for
which the administration of the
workhouse could not be blamed, the
Occoquan workhouse was in excel
lent shape.
Indications were that the sub.
committee would recommend i'm
provements in the building at the
| workhouse, removing the frame
structures and supplanting them
with brick structures through ap-
propriations.

Evidence Of Struggle.
Miss Nelson had evidently been in
a struggle with her assailant, author
tiles believe, from the appearance of

After having been shot. a cleaning
rod of the gun had been transtiXed in
her right shoulder with approximate.
ly four inches imbeded in the skin
and six inches protruding therefrom.
DR.. Swain. after investigating
found that two exploded shells had
been elected from the shotgun a short
distance from where Miss Nelson lay.
In the gun itself there was one ex-
ploded and one unexpioded shell. Miss
Nelson evidently had sought to escape
was shot in the back and Barron
then reloaded the gun and shot HIM
self by placing the muzzle under his
chin. reaching down and pulling the
trigger.
From an old colored woman living
near the scene of the shooting the
county authorities learned that the
| tragedy probably took place shortly
after noon yesterday. She told them
that she had heard two or three shots
fired at that time.
Believe Gun Was Hidden.
1t was later learned that Barron had
met Miss Nelson shortly before noon
| in this city and had motored to the
| vicinity of the shooting Immediately.
The shot gun had been hidden in the
| coach, 1t is believed. Authorities also
found two partially filled bottles of
liquor in the machine.
Barron, according to information
given to Arlington County authorities.

from his wife, Mrs. Fannie A. Barron,
for some time. Miss Nelson is a grad.
uate nurse. At the Alexandria Hospi-

Wants Jack to Rush Him.
I want Dempsey to come into me
and he can come in with all those
wild swinging punches that he cares
to throw. I'll not be worrying about
them For five years I've been learn
ing how to get out of the way OF
such punches. If Dempsey isn't hit
ting me. he can't be hurting me, can
he? 1 don't care if he has the tistic
power to knock down 20-story
building. It's of no value to him If
he can't land those punches.
But Dempsey has>l't any real de-
fense-and never had. He's never
boasted of one; rather his biggest pride
seems to be in the attitude that MY
offense is better than a real defense
They have all hit Dempsey. I'll hit
him, too The others didn't hit
Dempsey hard enough the first time
Or often enough when they had him
groggy.
Three men had Dempsey within one
punch of defeat. If Carpenter could
have driven through with one more
crasher in the second round of then
fight. Dempsey would have gone
down-and stayed there. Bill Bren-
nan staggered Dempsey in the second
round of their battle, and if he could
have driven through another power
full punch to the same spot within q
few seconds later, he could have
dropped and perhaps put away the
champion.
Firpo Loses Chance.
And then there was Firpo. He
had about three chances to land that
final blow, only to fail. His first
punch of the fight nearly paralyzed
Dempsey If he had followed with
just one more Dempsey was through
then and there. Later he nearly
dropped Dempsey again. One more
punch at the time would have stopped
Jack. But Firpo couldn't do it. When
Dempsey came back into the ring
after being bumped out Of 1t Firpo
only needed to walk in, hit Jack just
once-and the championship would
have gone to South America.
No man is q. 'peerless-superb fight

all his fights. No man can boast
