Act of 1948 on Which State Department Acts Made for War Conditions, It Is Urged. As soon as the news reached this city this afternoon that the State Department had requested the De- partment of Labor at Washington the deportation of Donal O'Cal- laghan, Lord Mayor of Cork, who ar- rived in this country as a stowaway last week, there was a consultation Detween the Lord Mayor and Judge J. H. Lawless of Norfolk, Va, and Michael Francis Doyle of Philadel- phia, who haye been retained to fight any move to send him back. ‘The lawyers declared that the de- cision of the State Department, bolding that the case comes within the act of March 2i, 1914 was reached without a hearing of the Lord Mayor's side, The lawyers also sald: “The act of Congress on which this order ts based was a war-time meas- ure passed for the purpose of pre- venting enemies of the United States from entering this country during the war... It ts contended that the spirit of the act does not cover the case of the Lord Mayor of Cork... We contend that final judgment in this gases rests with the Department of Labor...

The Plowing of police whistles attracted thousands to the street and in the Washington Irving High School Glasses Were suspended while the pupils rushed to the windows to wwatch the police in action. Patrolman Patrick English was at ‘Third Avenue and 16th Street when he heard cries of “Police!” coming from @ window at No. 136 East 1th Street. Running to the place, he was informed by Mrs. Dietel, who runs it as a room- ing house, that robbers were at work on the fourth floor, English rushed up the stairs and, reaching the top floor, saw three men escaping to the roof. Just as English reached the root he sw a man descending through @ souttle into the house at No. 140. He sounded his police whistle and @peeded across the roofs and captured the man. Lieut. Cor- neKus Willemse of the Eaet 22d Street Station, who responded to the whistle, took the prisoner, who suid he was Henry Klinger or No, 426 East 80th Street, Engtish looked over the edge of the roof and saw @ man descending a fire-escape. He drew his revolver and called to the man to stop and made ‘him clamber back to the roof where he was made a prisoner, This man was recognised ‘by Patrolman Engtigh as Robert Miller. The pa- trolman and the prisoner head served together in the “Lost Battation” in France. Miller gave his address as No. 186 Avenue B.

(Sprcial to The Drening World.) WASHINGTON, Jan. 11.—The Washington hotel keepers killed the goose scheduled to Iny the solden esse in March. The outrageous prices agreed upon by the hotel pro- prietors was the underlying cause of \ President-elect Harding’s decisién to have the inaugural ceremonies simpli- ew of Indiana, close personal friend for the Prasident-elect. The hotel men got together some weeks ago and fixed rates for the inauguration. Tt was agreed that all visitors who secured ‘hotel ndcommo- dations would ‘be compelled to take thelr rooms for a week, and the prices fixed run from $75 to $500 per week per room. On top of this day room rates were to ‘be advanced shanply, probably 25 to 50 per cent. ‘The committee on inaugural ar- rangements, Senator New said, tried to get the hotel men to recede from their attitude, but without avail, This information was conveyed to Senator Harding, who finally became con- vinced public interest would ‘best be served by calling off the ball and parade planned. This was accord- ingly done The understanding of the mem- bers of the Joint Congresflional Com- mittee on Arrangements is that Sen- ator Harding's desire as expressed in his telegram to Chairman McLean is to eliminate all ceremonies and lim't the programme to the mere taking of the oath and delivery of an inaugural address. The parade, with its strik- ing military features, was cancelled to-day along with the Congressional ball and other spectacular features by order of the committee in charge. - Washington shopkeepers, who have been the prime movers in the plan for an elaborate inaugural, are chagrined at the latest turn of events, The in- auguratjon 1s looked forward to by many Washington tradesmen and hotel men as the supreme opportunity to “shake down” a great throng of vis- (Continued on Second Page.) a ager at MILADY’S GOWN AND FLOWERS HIT BY HARDING PLEA Modistes ahd Florists in Capital Feel Results of Economy at Inaugural, WASHINGTON, Jan. 11, ANY expensive and mag- nificent gowns, ordered weeks ago by women for the inaugural ball, soon may be dumped upon the bargain coun. ters of Washington, President-Flect Harding's re- quest that the festivities be elim- inated sorely disappointed the women and gave, fashionable gown makers a jolt.

J., a member of the woollen firm of W. B. Leonard of No, 226 Fifth Avenue, Manhattan, nar- rowly escaped death this morning be- heath a train at the Erte tube station, Jersey City. His rescue, injured but not fatally, was accomplished by the heroic work of Dr. Michaelson of St, Francis Hospital, Mr. Humphrys, suddenty grew faint a8 he stood at the platform edge look- {ng toward an approaching train and toppled over between the tracks, im- mediately in front of the train. The first car and part of the second passed over him before the train responded to the emergency brakes, Dr. Michaelson crawled under the stalled train, passing over the third rail. He found Humphrys still able to talk, although he shortly lapsed into unconsciousness, “My overcoat has caught im the ironwork and is pulled over my head,” said the victim of the acci- dent. Dr. Michaelson managed to cut the coat off and then pulled the man from beneath the car. At the hospital it was said he suffered from & possible fracture of the skull, and outs and bruises on the head and body. Mr, Humphrys’ expe from death beneath the train was regartied as little short of, miraculous by tube employes, for the motor box, which hangs but 4 1-2 inches above the ties and extends the width of the track, passed over him, as did the control- ler box, only an imch higher, Many women fainted when they saw Hum- phrys disappear under the train, Thousands of persons were delayed reaching Manhattan through the tle- up resulting from the accident, Trains were stalled from 8.15 to 8.66 A.

A. L. Kloor. (in @ letter written to hie parents, at Crowley, La.) (Copyright, 1921, by The United Press.) MOOSE FACTORY, ONTARIO, Canatla, Dec, 21, 1920.—Dear Dad and Mother: By the time this letter reaches you your worries will prob- ably be over, for the Captain will have informed you of my safety. I can only tell you the trend of the story now and explain all in a long letter next time I write. I took a balloon out on Monday, Dec, 13, and carried two passen- gers, Lieut. Farrell and Lieut. Hinton, who was the pilot that flew the NC across the Atlantic with Reed. A fierce storm hit us that night and finally we were forced to land next day on account of low ballast, We found we had flown miles out of civilized country and north over fields, lakes and forests covered with snow and ice, We had to land Tuesday at 1.30 P. M. We did not know where we were. We had no charts, only a compass, three carrier Pigeons and no food. Our food had all been eaten in the air, for we flew twenty-five hours before landing. We were wet and cold and hun- ery. Our flying suits were so heavy we had to cast them off and walk in our thin uniforms. I had on my light summer underwear as always, It was hell and misery. We could only walk for about two hours at a time and build a fire to keep our feet from freezing, then start walking again. At night we could not sleep, regardless of how bot our fire was, it snowed so hard and the ground was so wet. Snow water was all we had to drink. MISERY LASTED FOR THREE DAYS. We lived on two carrier pigeons, which fuckily I did not send back with messages. The miSery lasted for three days, lost and no signs of hope or habitation in sight. Friday, after having followed a small river from where we first landed in the balloon, I discovered sled tracks in the fee, aud we set off to follow them. If we had not found these sled tracks we would not be living to-day. We followed the tracks for at least five miles. They led into a large lake of ice at least two miles wide. After walking along for about an hour on the lake in the direction the tracks led, we spied a man about a mile ahead of us. After many wild shouts and signals of distress I managed to stop him and got’ to him to tell him to help us find a town or some house, food and clothing. Much to my dismay, I found he could only speak in hia native Indian tongue, but after many signs I made him understand the con- ditions of myself and my companions. Lients.
