New York, June 22.—Rear Admiral Sims returned home today to explain to Secretary Denby remarks attributed to him in his recent London speech on lrish Americans. Refusing to be taken ashore by a cutter, he came up the bay aboard the liner Olympic to meet friends or foes who might be awaiting him near the pier. Everything was peaceful when he landed. A thousand bluecoats were massed on the dock to preserve order. Indeed, they were so numerous that with warf workers and passengers, it would have been ditficult for many other persons to have found footsold on the pier. Police lines blocks north entrance. Not Wilson returned ference were more ations made. The admiral was the first person to step ashore.

Blind since birth, 14-year-old Mary Cullum, daughter of John Cullum of 92 Franklin street, has been given sight through an operation which is considered a miracle of modern surg- y. The operation was performed at Johns Hopkins hospital in Baltimor: Md., by Dr. Walter E. Dandy, whi although not yet 40 years of age, hailed by his confreres as the master oculist of the age. Ever since she was born little Mary has been denied the pleasures that other little children enjoy. Her right eye s completely blind and imper- fect ion in the left eye, which also was virtually blind, completed a trag- edy of childhood which her relatives believed to be beyond the power of man to remedy. Thanks to the skill and patience of Dr. Dandy, Mary can now play with other little girls and indulge in games in which she never could participate previously. About three years ago, Mary's par- ents consulted specfalists with the purpose of giving sight to the child, but the best minds gave them little hope. She was placed under the care of Dr. Frank L. Waite and Dr. Robert L. Waite of Pratt street, Hart- ford, who bent ever: energy to putting life into the paralyzed optical nerves which kept the little girl in (Continued on Eighth Page.)

TAXES FALL BEHIND Dryhurst Indications Are That Income Corpor- ation List This Year Will Be Mil- lion Less Than Year Ago. Hartford, June 22.—Incomplete re- turns received at the state tax de- partment for the net income corpor- ation tax list which is to be sub- mitted to the state treasurer for col- lection on August 3, indicate that the state’s income from that source will be one million dollars less than last year while the total net income corporation tax amounted to - This tax is about half of the total tax which the state re- ceives from corpo ions, which in 1920 was $5,730,756.05. With some reductions expected in some of thec other items, notably the steam roads, the total corporation tax is likely to be at least 25 per cent less than last year, or about four hundred thou- sand dollars. The state tax department completed totals on the tax from savings banks and departments and mutual fire and life insurance com- panies. The tax from savings banks, saving departments in trust com- panies and national banks shows an increase of $88,669.71 over last year when it was $858,133.67, but from the mutual insurance companies the tax will be less by $2,770.41. A considerable decrease is expect- ed in the amount of tax to be de- rived from steam roads, which in 1920 contributed $1,516,584.99 to the state’s coffers. has Bridgeport Sailor is Member of Missing Crew Washington, June 22.—The names the four officers and 49 enlisted iboard the lost naval tug Con- were made public today by Secretary Denby who said he still re- ‘used to abandon hope that tha tug of her company would be found.

Corrie said he had never seen Dempsey fisht and would not express an opinion as to the result of the match but he added: “I wlli tell you that Carpentier told me: ‘Dempsey, a big, heavy man, is just made for me.”” BERRIE—BURNS Middletown Man Takes Lincoln Court Girl As Bride Today at St. Mary’s Rectory.

VOTE BAN ON BRITISH Boycott Resolution Falls ’l'hrough—Urges Right to Make and Sell Beer. Denver, Col., June 22.—After a stormy debate the American Federa- tion of Labor convention today dis- _posed of the Irish question by adopt- ing a resolution—trimmed of its most drastic boycott provisions—expressing sympathy for the Irish cause. The appeal of the boycott support- ers from the ruling of President Gompers provoked one of the stormi- est sessions in the history of the fed- eration. Cheers and jeers were min- gled as the boycottérs took the floor and attacked Mr. Gompers, who had ruled out their motion to have the boycott declaration added to the res- olution expressing sympathy for the Irish republic which was reported fa- vorably by a committee. The convention unanimously adopt- ed a resolution urging modification of the Volstead act to permit manufac- ture and sale of beer. Officers and the executive courcil were instructed to work for a change in the law and if this should not be successful all unions would be called on to petition congrese. The action of the convention com- pleted the defeat of the supporters of the boycott declaration which they claimed had been drafted by “high officials of the Irish republic.”” The boycott supporters contested every ef- fort to bring the sympathetic resolu- tion to a vote, without its boycott pro- visions by raising points of order and attempting to have the entire matter referred back te the committee for reconsideration.
