UTICA, N Y, July 4.-Swift IRON
ing out of the opposition to the Hill
quit machine and the nomination of
Louis Waldman, a New York lawyer,
as their candidate for Governor in
the coming election were the accom-
plishments Of the state convention
of the Socialist Party held here yes
terday.
An upstate minister, Rev. Herman
j. Hahn, of Buffalo, who poses as
a militant socialist" in a section of
the state where thousands of steel
workers are unemployed and hungry,
led the fight against the New York
machine.
In bitter srsech, Hillquit declared
it was necessary to "be on guard
against SO called revolutionary
phrases which hide reactionary con-
tent" Characterization which aptly
applies to Hillquit himself and the
whole Socialist party,
This is shown in such planks as
the demand for the six-hour day,
five-day week, fake public works"
program which is indistinguishable
from that of Tammany's Governor
Roosevelt, and unemployment insur-
ance-to be administered by capital
ist state, city and county officials and
reactionary trade union leaders.
In order to cover up their reaction
airy program on the Negro question,
and smarting under the charges of
militant workers in the state, the
convention nominated Negro re-
formist, Frank r. Crosswaith, for
Lieutenant Governor.

POLICE CANVASS
IRISH WORKERS
Eviction Fight Stirs
Interest of Jobless

NEW YOPK-Attempting to stem
the growing interest of the workers
of the neighborhood in the Irish
Workers Club and the Unemployed
Council, police are reported to be
making a toulouse canvass of
East 147th St., Bronx. where four
militant members of the club were
arrested r,ncently after an eviction
struggle
Secretly Indicted.
The workers were secretly indicted
by the Bronx County grand jury on
charges of felonious assault last
Thursday and are now free on $1,000
bail each
Magistrate Mckinney, who on Fri
day dismissed the charges against the
workers, just prior to their re-arrest
on bench warrants, refused to permit
the workers to file charges against
Kane, the policeman who arrested
and participated in the slugging
against them. The judge said it was
outside his jurisdiction, and that
the matter was in the hands of the
district attorney"
VIII Bring Protests.
This morning a committee, armed
with protests from a number Of New
York workers organizations, will call
upon Charles Bl.sMcLaughlin, Bronx
County district attorney. protesting
against their indictment and demand
ing the right TO enter counter
claim against Kane.
The effectiveness of the work of the
Irish Workers Club and the Unem-
ployed Council is seen in the fact
that the Catholic charities, who had
previouily refused to help John Nc
Partland, father of six children, to
whose aid the club had come, have
now offered to pay one months rent
The action Of the charities is un-
doubtedly based en- fear that Nc
Partland may leave the 'fold.'

rabbits, pheasants and other small
game are in the wooded portion OF
the estate. Trout and other fish can
be found in the streams and brooks
Passing the estate one can see from
the road number Of buildings built
like a castle. In front of the build
ings is a huge artificial lake which
cost 100000 to build, according to
Fishs neighbors.
Houses Rot Away
On the outside edge of the estate
are about a dozen houses. These
houses are unoccupied and are slow
ly rotting away from exposure and
lack of attention. In Peekskill there
are fully 1900. or more workers un-
employed who are unable to pay rent
Some of the workers, knowing OF
the Fish estate and the empty houses
have tried writing in to the Mocha
peem Corporation, Fish's agents in
New York, for permission to use one
of the houses. In the letters they tell
of their miserable plight, of long un-
employment, of children to care for
etc. But Fish prefers to have the
houses rot.
Fish is willing to rent the houses,
but for no less than $25 a month
Some of the houses are so old that
they were witnesses to the campaign
of George Washington during the
Revolutionary War. They have no
electricity nor gas.
Altogether there are about three Of
the houses rented. In one of them
lives worker with a large family,
who has been unemployed for long
time and only just recently got a
job at So a day. During his unem-
ployment this worker tried to get a
reduction in his rent, but failed.
Outside of the few houses that are
rented, really not on the estate
proper, the only other people on the
vast estate is the family of the care
taker.
Keep Off"
Posted on trees surrounding the es-
tate are signs reading, Warning!
Private property, private park land.
No hunting or fishing allowed. No
trespassing for these or any other
purpose permitted, under the penalty
of the law" Under the protection of
these signs and the capitalist laws of
private property, Fish is able to close
the miles of land as if by an iron
wall. The workers who rent houses
from Fish have but an acre of land
allotted to them, and as they work
their tiny plots of ground, squeezed
for space to grow vegetables or raise
chickens, they view around them the
stretch of acres of land, unoccupied,
unused, closed in and barred by the
sign of private property.
Many workers in this section would
like to enter the estate to shoot game
for food.
While workers in the city suffocate
from heat, while many are wasting
away for need of country air, while
hundreds of others dream of vaca-
ton in the country, the Fish estate
lies, a vast unoccupied expanse of
land, unused, untenanted, wasted.

Old Timer Showed Boys
Old Game of Football

Both on the stage and in the field
of sport, there are those who long for
the good old days and claim that the
modern performance is but the shell
of the real thing. This has been
claimed more than once by Old-time
football fans and at Yale, for one, il
is believed that the old-timers may be
right.
1t was the old, giant guard, Fudge
Heffelfinger, who put doubt in the
mind of Old Eli. He returned TO the
campus at the age OF fifty and after
watching the Yale varsity for awhile
turned to Tad Jones. coaching at that
time. and complained: "They dom:

smile.
"I'll do it." said the fifty-year-old
Fudge, earnestly. He charged the Yale
varsity line the way he used to when
he was a guard, back in the good old
days and in few minutes had ripped
the Yale team to shreds and had Tad

Hero Well Identified

When the body of John Paul Jones
was exhumed eminent scientists of
the United States and France con-
Quoted an investigation to identify
the body. In the comparison of the
life-size Houdon bust of John Paul
Jones and the photograph of the
body taken after the examination it
is seen how the contour of the brow,
the arch of the eyebrow. the width
between the eyes. the high cheek
bones, the muscles of the face. the
distance between the hair and the
root of the nose, between the sub
nasal point and the lips. and between
the lips and the point of the chin,
all agree. The peculiar shape of the
lobe of the ear in the bust Is the
exact counterpart of that observed ip

tiny foreign substance accidentally
gets into the oysters body. If ii is
not able to eject the intruder, the
oyster surrounds it with layers of a

relatively few of them are of profit
