Unknown Not Unusual, | He Declares. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, July 9.—Mayor George L. Baker of Poriland, Oreg., arriving yesterday from a tour cf Europe, stop- ped chuckling at some of his experi-!| ences long enough to denounce critics ' who said he was the only man who ever made a speech at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Paris. “It's true I did make a brief speech,” he said. “I referred to the heroic dead of France and the United States. Then I concluded with the Lord's Prayer. If it is against the rules to say the Lord's Prayer in a place like that, I have no apologies to make. “As a matter of fact, I learned after- ward that 30 or 40 speeches have been made there.” No one told Mayor Baker that it was not customary to make speeches at the tomb, said Henri Prince, New York hotel man, who alsy arrived on the liner Ile de France. Mr. Prince repre- sented Mayor Walker in a group of American mayors who recently toured France as the guests of that nation. Mayor Baker acted for a time as the group’s spokesman. Speech Turned to Prayer. ““When Mr. Baker was almost through his brief speech,” said Mr. Prince, “some one in the gathering told him it was not usual. He then started the prayer.” Mr. Baker chuckled when a reported told him a few of the other mayors, who returned to this country some time ago. complained becauss he made too many of the spceches. “I'll tell you about that,” he said, smiling broadly at the reporters. “If somebody scoops you, you get sore. It was just that way. Every time I'd make a speech I'd get in a lot about Portland the beautiful, Pertland the City of Roses. I was there represent- ing Portland and I was going to see . her get her desserts. Some of the others, who, by the way, are all good ! friends of mine, may have been a mite Jealous. “Anyway, T was appointed chairman of that group and I was going to do the job. It carried plenty of grief with it, too, and ' don't hear any one asking to share that.” Asked about his attitude toward the wine problem while abroad, the mayor #aid he upheld the motto, “When in Rome do as the Romans do.” Consideration for Host. “I felt we ought to make our hosts feel we were having a delightful time. Yes, I not only responded to tcasts, but' I proposed them. - “And I noticed that Mayor Porter of Los Angeles always raised his glass, after that one incident in which he was reported to have left the rcom when a toast was proposed. Did he touch it to his lips? I wasn't near enough to say.” Both Mayor Baker and Mr. Prince, anxious to do scmething to show their eppreciation for French _hospitality, adopted two orphan boys while abroad. ‘They intend to pay for their educa- tion in France until they are 16 and then bring them to the United States if they want to come. Mayor Baker's boy is Andre Giibert Fayer, 10, inmate of a home in the Vil- lage of St. George de I'sle. “He plays & trombone in the church band and we picked nim because he was the sweetest looking boy in the band,” said Mrs. Baker, who returned with her husband | Mayor Baker visited Germany, Aus- tria, Holland. Italy and England. after leaving the mayors' party in France. He said he would stop at Cleveland on his way to the coast to attend a board meeting of the Shriners’ Crippled Children’s Hospital. SING SING SEARCHERS FIND KNIVES AND ROPE Check-up Follows Third Stabbing in Month in Outbreak Laid to Gangsters’ Feud. By the Associated Press. OSSINING, N. Y. July 9.—Twelve knives, 10 of which were described by | prison keepers as ‘“vicious-looking | ones,” were found within the walls of Sing Sing Tuesday as officials searched all cells for hidden weapons. The other 2 were table knives smuggled from the prison dining hall. Warden Lewis E. Lawes announced also that a rope was found in the yard - outside the cells. It was believed to have been thrown out when the search for weapons started by convicts who had secreted it in the hope it might be used in an effort to escape. ‘The search of the prison was con- ducted while the 2440 inmates were kept locked in their cells. It was or- dered by Warden Lewis E. Lawes fol- Jowing three stabbings, two of them fatal, within a month. Cooks and waiters alone were al- Jowed to go to their work within the prison. The other convicts were taken 1o the dining room in small groups, carefully guarded. The three stabbings, the last of ‘which resulted in the death last night of John de Lucca, 24 years old, was attributed by prison authorities to a feud among rival gangsters serving sentences in Sing Sing.
