Matter RIOT AT EBBETS FIELD FOLLOWED BY SUSPENSION | OF INTERNATIONAL CLUB ? Boxing Commission Takes Quick Action on Fiasco at Lynch-Herman Bout. POLICE TO ACCOUNT. They Disclaim Responsibility for Mob Scenes — Booth Robbed of $500. The International Sporting Clu», which promote& the Lynch-Herman Doxing bout at Ebbets Field last night, was to-day indefinitely sus- pended by the State Boxing Com- mission for the wretched manner in which the exhibition was conducted, there being rioting, robbery and a wholesale raiding of the field by per- sons who climbed fences, broke gates and appropriated seats for which they had not paid, thus excluding hun- dreds whe had bought tickets. The Boxing Commission met shortly before noon, and after the meeting Secretary Harry Burchell said: “Wor the crude manner in which the exhibition was conducted the club has been suspended indefinitely pend- ing a hearing. What happened there last night was a reflection upon the State Boxing Commission.” District Attorsey Lewis to-day asked the Brooklyn police to furnish him at once with a detailed report of everything that happened at the field last night, when, in addition to the rioting, one of the ticket booths was robbed of $500 during an interval in which the lights about the field and the rotunda were extinguished. Mr. Lewis said that he also wanted all citizens who witnessed any viola- tion of law to communicate with him without delay so that, if the facts he learned warranted it, he would lay the entire matter before the Grand Jury. POLICE DISCLAIM ALL RESPON- SIBILITY. All responsibility for what took place within the field was to-day disclaimed by the Brooklyn police. Acting Deputy Chief Inspector Will- iam T. Davis said that he was at tne field, though not inside, and that he believed all the trouble to be due to insufficient guards within the structure. “There was an adequate force of police outside,” he said, “headed by myself, Inspector Joseph Conooy, Capt. Frank Conboy and four ser- geants. They had thirty patrolmen on duty. The police never go inside on such occasions unless there is a call for their services or when duty requires their entrance. No applica- tion was: made by the management for police, and all we knew of the ex- hibition was from the newspapers and advertisements. “As for the lights, there was trouble with them all the evening.

No Inti- mation as to what this answer will be has been given out from any source, but the Irish Bulletin, onan of the Dail Eireann, in an article which evidently is Inspired, hints that the Sinn Fein will accept no terms that deny the right of self- | determination, The Bulletin goes on to sav that the Irish will return to the wilder- ness rather than accept anything compromising national honor and na-| tional Independence, Repudiating any desire to coerce Ulster, because It “knows too well the futility of such repression,” the Bulletin says, “what we rely upon is / the irresistible and unifying influence of common interests aud common citizenship.” In conclusion, the Bulletin declares tt is fallacious to suppose that the Irish national movement is merely a} | matter of money and can be settled | by fiscal autonomy. | "It says that Ireland has the right to control her finances, and the pri- mary demand regardless of all others is that Ireland should be tree.

Prosecutor Hayward Says Stealing From U. S. Should Be No Longer a Joke, Martin & Martin, leather goods deal- ers of No. 618 Fifth Avenue, pleaded guilty to-day before Federal Judge the Government out of luxury taxes. Martin individually was fined $10,000 and the firm $2,000. There were eleven counts and Mar- tin could have been fined $10.000 upon each and the company the same amount. Martin also could have been sentenced to jail for a year upon each count, an earnest plea by United States Dia- cloned by saying: from it by Imposing a jail sentence in thie case.” Col. Hayward said the Government was prepared to prove the defendant and his concern had defrauded the Government by having duplicate sales slips and keeping two scts of books. When a person bought an article that called for a luxury tax the purchaser paid {t and the sales slips were made to read for something that did not carry a tax. “Ho not only stole from the Gov. ernment but he atole from his cus. tomers," said the District Attorney mentioning the Vanderbilta and others who have accounts at the store. The particular case that brought the firm to grief was the purchase of a cocktail shaker by Constance Tal- madge for her husband, She paid $120 and a luxury tax.

Organization Could Then Ex- tend Much Needed Further Relief to Live Stock Raisers and Farmers. WASHINGTON, July 26.—President Harding to-day asked Congress to | broaden the powers of the War Finance Corporation so that it could give financial relief to the railroads and agriculture. He made his request in a short addressed to the Senate and House of Representatives. Mr. Harding gave only the bare outline of the plan he wants Congress to wpprove. Details are to be given out later by the railroad administra- tion. ¢ The President, nowever, made clear these salient points of his plan: That the War Finance Corporation be empowered to buy railway securi- ties now held by the Director General, probably up to 500 millions, so that officials may have funds to settle with the railroads without dipping into the ‘Treasury. ‘That the powers of the corporation be broadened so that it can extend further relief to the live stock raisers and farmers. Mr. Harding also revealed that to hasten a eettlament with the Govern- ment the railroads have consented to waive their claims based on the asser- tion that labor depreciated in value during Government contro! and that ‘The waiver, however, will not preju- dice their rights if they should take their claim to court. The President then explained that the Government owed the railroads and the roads owed the Government, and that settlements have already been made of claims totalling $225,- 568,764. The text of President Harding's message follows: To the Senate and House of Repre- sentatives: It is necessary to call the attention of Congress to the obligations of the |Government to the railroads, and ask |your co-operation in order to enable the Government to discharge these obligations. There {s nothing new about them, but only recently has there come an understanding which seems well to justify a sincere en- deavor to effect au early settlement, These obligations already have been recognized by the Congress, in the passage of the Transportation Act | restoring the railroads to their own- ers, but pr us recognition was made in the contract under whiectt the milroads were op ted by the Gov- jernment for the period of World War | The contract covering operation provided that the railways should be returned to their owners in as good condition as when taken over by the Government, and the Transportation Act, recognizing that betterments and additions belong to capital accounts, provided that such funds as the rafl- Way companies owe the roment for betterments and new equipment added during the period of Govern- ment operation, might be funded.
