The ostensible purpose of the com: mittee meeting is to select a time and pie for next year's national cenven- ion, but in their conferences com- mittes members and their guests talked of almost everjthing else re- ating to 1920. Choice of the conven- tion city will be mede Wednesday with IndicaWons ponuing to either Chicago or St. Louls and with early June apparently seitled on as the date. In addition to the naticnal com- mittee from every siate, the republi- can state chalrmen all have been in- vited to be here this week and a larg number of editors of republican newspapers are expected to attend. Discussion of a convention city did not get far today, the leaders ap- parently being too interested in other questions. Th St. Louis delegation, wrich arrived yesterday, was active during_the day, however. Chicago's chances were helped during the day by an announcement by William H. Crocker, the national committeeman for California, that Sun Francisco, mentioned as a con- tender for the honor, w: ld not ac- tively seek the convention but would throw it luflucnce for the Illinols city PRIEST KILLED BY FALL FROM A SEVENTH STORY WINDOW Philadeiphia, Dec. §—The Rev. Ed- ward B. Henry, a former chaplain in the United States navy and at one time connected with Catholic churches in Portiand, Maine, fell from a seventh story window of a prominent hotel hers today and was so badly injured that he died within a short time with- out regaining consciousness. Father Henry arrived in this city to- gay and was joined at the hotel by his mother, Mrs. Edward B, Henry, and his sister, Mre. Vincen{ Kerens both of Mew York. They were abou} to jeave the hotel on a shodping tour before going to Atlantic City for the benefit of his health when Father Hen- r§ returned to his room to get his overcoa: s he was leaving Mrs. Henry called to him to raise the win- dow as the room was warm. When the priest did not return after a few min- uptes both women went {o the room. CASE AGAINST THE YALE & TOWNE MFG, COMPANY New York, Dec. 8.—A committee representing the mayors’ conference of New York state announced today it had filed - motion ‘in the United States sypreme court asking that it be permitied to join in the case of Eugene M. Travis, state comptroller, against the Yale and Towne Manufac- turing. Company, = a “Connecticut cor- poratiori_ doing business in New York, which . involves the_right of the staie to’ tax incomes of non-residents. Both Attorney General ‘Newton and cour- sel for the company have consented to the committee's motion. The company challenged the con- stitutionality’ of the recent state in- come tax Jaw when ordered by Mr. Travis to pay the tax on the salaries of ‘on-resident employes, contending that they were within the jurisdiction of other states. It was supported by the federal district court, which en- joined enforcement of the law against Ron-residents. After an appeal had been taken to the supreme court by Mr. Travis, the committee, comprising Corporation Counsel Burr of New York, Corpora- tion Counsel Rand of Buffalo and Mayor Walling of Yonkers, rallied to the support of Mr. Travis as cities receive half of the income taxes paid the state. Working with counscl for the legislative committce which drafted the law, they preparcd a brief which they now ask to be permitted to submit, as well as to have oral ar- sument heard, In the brief it is argued that the law is constilutional, for only the - come from Lhe business or property of non-residents in this state Is taxed, whereas in the case of residents in- come from all sources is taxed. PRICE OF MILK CAUSED ABANDONMENT OF BABY New York, Dec. 8.—The high price of milk was responsible for a 7 months old baby being abandoned by its father in the Grand Central station today, ac- cording to a note found in the young- ster’s hat by the police. “Can’t afford him on tbe price o milk they are charging today,” said the note. here are others I am Lrying 1o support.” The infant was turned over to the police by a man who said another man had asked him “to hold the baby” un- til he came back. s EXECUTIVE SECRETARY OF INDUSTRIAL CONFERENCE The daaghter looked out the window and in herror informed her mother what had bappened. .

Arguments on the constitutional- ity of the acts were advanced ly the court at the request of the gov- ernment and decision had been ex- pected generally when the court reconvened today after a recess of two weeks. As Monday in the regular opinion day of the court, a decision is not to be expected before next Monday, it then, The cases on which the constitutionality of the war-time act was attacked were from Kentucky and York, while that on which the validity of the enforcement act was contested reached the supreme court from New York. | p | NEIGHBOR CHARGED WITH | MURDER OF “BILLY” DANSEY Hammdnton, N.

The little boy rom his home sev- previously and a nation- 5 had been conducted for him on the eheos at kidnappers were responsible for his vanishing. White the owner of the “dahlia farm,” adjoining the Dansey farm. He is years old and the father of Charlie” White, the child playmate of Billy_ Dansey. The elder White tola th v tors at the time of Billy" nce that -he had seen the child in his dahlia fields. When the body was discovered Dr. Louis-R. Souder. the county-phy who examined it, said that there was { ence of foul play, but that the | vi organs and all parts of the body 1‘\\hlch would have aided in disclosing how the boy died had disappeared. Bdmund C. Gaskill, county prose- cutor, declared tonight that he had ufficient evidence to show that the boy was murdered and to clear up the mystery surrounding his death. He refused, however, to give any informa- tion as to the grounds on which the warrants were securcd against White and Miss Jones. The action of the authorities follows reports” in ecirc a week ago that the detec signed to the mystery were followinz a clew which developed during the inquest. At that time testimony was submitted by Mrs. White, wife of the prisoner, to ihe ef- fect that “Billy dog “Jack” had been shot in the legs a few days before the disappearance of the child. The mat- ter was quickly passed over by the prosecutor. apparently to avoid arous- ing suspicions of suspects. The reports in regard to this feature of the mystery were to the effect that the presence of “Bill; and his dog. inseparable companions, was _objec- tionable to a worker in a dahlia field near the Dansey home and that the dog had been shot by that individual. The detectives, it is reported, came to the conclusion that the nerson who hot the dog possessed knowledge of the boy's fate. It was believed that he might have shot at or kicked at the dog and struck “Billy” instead, in- fiicting a wound that caused tt\e child’s death. " Dan- wide search COURT CASE RESULTS FROM STRIKE IN WINNIPEG Winnipeg, Ma Dec. S.—After Mayor Gray, who testified today at the trial of R. B. Russel, charged with seditious conspiracy in connection with the general strike last May, had in- formed the court he and his wife at that time had received many threaten- ing and indecent letters, Justice Metfal | handed to counsel for the crown and defense a letter which he said was “just a sample” of letters he now was receiving. The contents were not made public, but it can be seen that the let- ter was typewritten, without order or signature. The mayor testified that constant ef- fort had been made during the strike to intimidate workers and that “we were sitling on a volcano.” He de- clared street orators had openly defied his authority in recruiting men, wom- en and children for a strike parade. William - Murshall, manager of the Canadian Pacific railway = telegraph lines. testified that during the walkout the strike committee had made repeat- ed efforts te censor incominz and outzoing messages.

New York, Dec. §.—Federal Judge Mayer late’ today dismissed Writs of habeas corpus obtained by Alex- ander Berkman and Emma Goldman to prevent their deportation to Russi and refused to admit them to bail Federal District Attorney Caffey an- nounced in court that the govern- ment planned to deport the two an- archists within two weeks. Judge Mayer, Who two years ago sentenced the two, radicais to- prison for obstructing the draft, then order- ed them both remanded’to Elis- Is- land, but granted a stay: of deporta- tion’ until 4 p. m. next Thursday to permit their counsel time to appeal to another court for admittance to. bail and to carry an appeal to the United States supreme court. Mr. Caffery apnounced that “other aliens” besides ‘Berkman and Miss Goldman would also be deported with in two weeks, referring. presumably to 82 radicals whose confinement at, Ei- lis Island recently has been fea- tured by hunger ahd silence_strikes. The announcement was made in re. sponse to the claim of Harry Weis- berger, counsel for = Berkman and Miss Goldman, that the government had no definite plans to deport his clients and that they might be held at Filis Island indefinitely, perhaps for life. in violation of Jaw. In rendering his decision, Judge Mayer denounced both of the anarch- ists. i “The court views these defendants as encmies of the United Siates and of the peace of the country.” he said. “Berkman has a criminal record that began when he attempted the as- sassination of Mr. Frick.

It declares that “it is vain for Germany to seck the delay the treaty's ef- fectiveness because of the position’ of the Americans with regard to the commissions.

Therefore the court declines to grant Mr. Caffey furnished still another surprise for Miss Goldman by an- nouncing that Jacob A. Kersner, whom she claims to have married in Rochester, N. Y., in 1887, did not die until January of this year. Weinberg- er had argued that the cancellation of Kersuer's citizenship by the United States district court at Rochester in 1909 was illegal because Kersner pre- sumably was dead at that time. The only point worthy of consid- eration throdghout his entire argu- ment that the deportation would be unconstitutional Judge Mayer told Weinberger, was his claim that Miss Goldman had not been given notice - of the . denaturalizatign proceedings against Kersner-and that the “real in- tention of the government was to de- naturalize Bmma Goldman = by . sub- terfuge and indirection.” To this United States Attorney Caf- fey replied that Kersner's father had testified that his son immigrated from ‘Russia_in 1882 and that he was born in 1865 He was naturalized by the Monroe County state court at Roch- ester in 1884. The-law provides that an alien must be at least 21 years old and have been in the country at least five years before naturalization. We- inberger accused the government of lack of fair play in not gjving Miss Goldman a chance to prove that Kersner's father reckoned dates by the Jewish calendar and had been mistaken about his som’s birth and the date of his arrival from Russia. Mr. Caffey said that Miss Goldman could not have been a party to the.de- naturalization proceedings because the statute only permitted the man upon whom citizenship had been conferred to contest the suit, and that notico had heen served on Kersner by pub- lication. “She never appealed to have that judzthent vacated even if they: wero married.” he said. The other contentions of Weinberg- er as to the unconstitutionality of | deportation were termed by Mr. Caf- ifey “frivolous and absurd These claims were: First, that the anarchy statutes of 1917 and 1918 vi- olated the first amendment to the| United States constitution providing congress shall pass no law dzing freedom of spech -or of the more than thirty years ago they were not anarchists and that 1o deport them now would violate ex-post facto in- hibitions of the constitution: third. that the movernment could, not deport }them to Soviet Russia, as it had an- nounced its plans to do, because the United States has not recognized the Bolsheviki. ADVANCE OF A CENT A POUND IN COTTON MARKET New York, Dec. §—An advanco of | approximately a cent a pound was re- corded in the cotton market here to- day owing to hope of an_early set- tiement controversy, finfavorable weather conditions in the south ind a renewal of trade buying. Cotton for January and May delivery sold 100 to only “an attempt, difficult plain, to delay the treaty.” The note cites the secret message of the chief of the German admiralty (Admiral Von Trotha) to Admiral Von Ruter. in command of the Ger- man crews of the Scapa Flow ships, dated May, telling him that the fleet's disposition “cannot be decided with- out us; it will be finished by us and delivery to the enemy avoide to ex- SAYS “BOOZE” CAUSES ACCIDENTS TO AVIATORS New York, Dec. 8.—The secret of the failure of some of the pilots in the re- cent transcontinental air race “can be attributed to too much booze.” Ligut. Belvin W. Maynard, the “flying par- son,” declared in a statement made public tonight by the Anti-saloon league. “If all of them had been s sober as myself, I probably would not have won the championship.” Al- though he declared he was “prejudized” against strong drink, the “flying par- son” admitted there are a few in- stances when a pilot “might be jusi- fied in using it.” He pointed ouf that the aviator might take a drink to “tide him over.” after being exhausted after continuous flying for twelve or fourteen hours. Licutenant Maynard said that many of the fatal air accidents were due to pilots flying “half intoxicated” or with a hangover from the night be- fore.” ' “A pilot needs every bit of gray matter God' gave him in an emergency and to have a brain clear from hang- overs and the effects of booze is a great asset,” he addel SCHOLARSHIPS FOR FRENCH AND BRITISH ORPHANS New York, Dec. §.—Establishment of three scholarships for British boys, as a gift from Dr. Elmer Burritt Bryan, president of Coigate university, and of scholarships for six British and s French boys, orphaned sons of offi- cers killed in the grent war, were an- nounced today by the Sulgrave nsti- tution.
