Only Postoffice was eliminated
as four teams sought berths in
the semi-final round OF the City
Glass B championship tourney at
jefferson playfield Tuesday night.
Surviving clubs were Transfers,
Wartenbe Service and Jensen Fuel.
Wartenbe Service will meet
Jensen Fuel Thursday night in

semi-final and final round of play.
On Friday night Transfers will
meet the winner of the Thursday
game for the championship and
the eighth and final berth in the
annual Pierce County softball
championship tourney starting in
Sumner on Aug. Z.
Playing the first four in
nings with only nine men,
Transfers kept In the running
by virtue of a 5 to ? victory
of Wartenbe Service.
Chuck Corbin again put the
Transfers in front in the fifth
with a single scoring two runners
and another run in the sixth
finished the scoring as Transfers
won, : to 2. Both teams played fine
ball and the loss did not eliminate
Wartenbe Service as they were
undefeated and two losses were
necessary to eliminate.
FUELMEN WIN
Jensen Fuel again defeated the
Postoffice but this time it was
nip and tuck game. The big break
came for the Fuelmen in the
second inning when three hunts
in succession were all turned into
runs for an early lead, but the
Postoffice club kept plugging and
nearly pulled its second upset in
as many days. The final score
read. Jensen Fuel 4, Postoffice 3.

Two Condemned Irishmen
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, Feb. 5.-The attorney
general today refused to take the
case OF two condemned members of
the Irish Republican Army to the
House of Lords for appeal.
The defense had applied for such
a course. The two Irishmen, Peter
Barnes and James Richards, are in
Birmingham Jail under sentence to
be hanged Wednesday for their
part in a bomb explosion in Con-
ventry last August Is in which five
persons were killed.
Thousands of persons attended a
mass meeting in Dublin last night
asking reprieves. The meeting, pre-
sided over by Lord Mayor Mrs Tom
Clarke, urged "the better elements
of the British people and the British
cabinet - to exercise wise states
manship" and grant the reprieves.
Premier Eamon de Valera of Ire
land has been deluged with resolu-
tions from Irish public bodies urging
him to ask the British government
to intervene.

First of all, there is nothing strange
about group of Congressman and
other persons having dinner to-
gether and talking politics. This
dinner was no different from any
of dozens of others which politically
minded persons frequently attend
'Collusion' is a strange word to apply
to an ordinary stag dinner.
Branded as Silly.
AFTER an informal dinner the
conversation turned to the Dies
committee and its social signifi-
canoe. The psychological aspects
of the work of the Dies committee
were argued both pro and con.
Among many other things, the pos
sibility Of a 'tie-up' between Dies
and the Christian Front was dis
cussed, and the existence of the
Mayne letters was also mentioned.
But certainly there was no agree
ment to use these letters. and the
notion Of a so-called plot by these
Congressman or by Mr.. Jackson at
this dinner is not only silly-it is
untrue"

Disability Insurance
Cash Held Subject
To A|imony Claims
Appellate Tribunal
Reverses and Remonds
Case to District Court

Disability insurance benefit pay
ments of a husband are subject to
alimony claims, the United States
Court of Appeals held today.
The appellate tribunal reversed
and remanded to District Court for
further proceedings the case of Mrs.
Katharine Schlaefer, 1925 Lamont
street NV. who had sought in the
lower court a writ of sequestration
against the property of her husband,
Chief Electrician Wallace Clayton
Schlaefer, United States Navy. re-
tired, of 1924 Valley Drive, Alex
andria, Va, sufficient to cover back
alimony. She also asked an injunc-
ton against the insurance company
TO prevent its paying him money
due, until the alimony is satisfied.
Holding that insurance benefits
were not barred from alimony under
the District Life Insurance Act, the
courts decision, written by Associate
Justice Wiley Rutledge, said:
"The Congress hardly can have
intended to keep the wife alive if
the husband has real estate, but
allowed her to starve if he owns
only money"
Represented by Attorney Vivian
o. Hill, Mrs. Schlaefer obtained
limited divorce here in November,
1884. At the time both parties were
domici'ed in the District. The de-
cree required him to pay her $50
a month as permanent alimony
Before it was entered he obtained
a Mexican divorce, which the ap-
pellate court did not pass upon
today. Mr.. Schlaefer then married
another woman.
In July, 1888, Mrs. Schlaefer filed
her petition, claiming that her hus-
band was $3.50 in arrears in his
alimony payments, had cut them to
$40 per month and refused to pay
more. She told the court that he
received 500 monthly from an in
surance company as disability bene-
fit payments, under two insurance
policies.
District Court, holding that in
surance benefit payments were
barred from alimony, dismissed the
petition for want of jurisdiction
and discharged the rule to show
cause Mrs Schlaefer appealed and
the court today found that the
lower tribunal had proper jurisdic-
ton.
