Inquiry into that Sunday morning party in which John C. Slavin, n musiral enmedr actor, rreelved a fractured skull and John J. MeOraw, mannger and part owner of the Xew York Oiants. received a bat tered nose nnd eye. brought forth three Important developments last night. Relatives nf Slavin mnde snown for the first time the fact that in addition to the injuries previously reported he hnd lost two of his front teeth. It was reported In the theatrical dis trict thnt the mnn who punched Me Oraw In the grillroom of the I,nmhs Club some time before Slavin received his Injuries was William H. Boyd, who bns appeared in a number of motion picture productions. After a meeting that lasted nearly two hours the members nf the house committee of he T.nmbs. Club Issued n public statement in which they declnred MrfSraw provoked the Sunday morning fight in their grillroom and that the netor who struck him hnd done so in self-defense. It was also learned thnt the house committee will make a repoit to the shepherd of the club, who will call a meeting of the executive committee for the purpose of taklnrt action regarding the conduct of the Olnnt"!' manager. Yesterday the netor lay in bed in his private room nt the hospital, with only Ids physician and nurses nbnut him. It was slated that his condition hnd im pioved nnd that he would probably re cover, lie had regained consciousness for a few minutes and then had lapsed agnin. Slavin's injuries, which neither Me ("Jraw nor Winfield IJggclt. who brought him to the hospital, seem nhle to ac count for. consist of a fracture at the base of the skull and a horizontal abra sion of the skin ovcring it. This abra sion seems to indicate, in the opinion of physicians, that lie fell bnckwaid. striking his head against the edge of n curb or a stone step. The action of the house committee of the l.amhs Club wns taken because many of the members felt thnt the Sun day morning row nlioum ne thoroughly investigated and the person or persons responsible for its disciplined. It is understood that MeOraw had been In vited to appear before the committee, but failed to do so. At the conclusion of their hearing they gave the following statement to the press: "At the time of the altercation on Sunday morning there was no one in i tlie grillroom with the exception of half a dozen persons at the most, and there was no celebration just u friendly talk. Mr. Mctiraw came Into tlie club aud mistook n certain member for a man with whom he had hud a difference. He grossly insulted this member, wns very violent nnd abusive and provoked u quarrel in which the club member was on the defensive. "After the difference hnd been settled Mr. Slnvin endeavored to persuade Ills friend, Mr. MeOraw. to leave the club, und he, with Commander Liggett, pur Mr. MeOraw into a taxicah and took him away from the club. Mr. Slnvin hnd nt. no time -any pint in the nltcrcn tion. except as peacemaker, and left the club in ! perfectly normal condition."

Aug. 10. Archbishop Dan iel .T. Mannix. of Australia, who was landed yesterday at Penzance by a Brit ish destroyer which had taken him from the White Stnr liner Baltic oft" thr lrih coast, arrived here at 0 o'clock this morning. A less impressive welcome for Arch bishop Mannix could hardly have been staged than that which greeted him when he arrived at I'addington station. Only the late editions of Inst evening's new simpers published the fact that he had landed at Penzance nnd was coming to this city. Therefore, only n few per sons knew that he was to arrive nt an enrlv hour today. The police had mnde arrangements to care for u much larger crowd than thnt formed by a few priests, repre sentatives of the Irish Self-detennlnn-tion League and reporters who had awaited arrivi I of the train, which drew into the station nt (! o'clock. Railway officials had ill ranged fo," his trnin to be fianked on either side by other trains and, both" ends of tlie platform were guarded by police and detectives. Kvcn tlie priests were not allowed to greet the archbishop until he had passed the harriers into the station proper. ICfforts of those who took Archbishop Mannix from the station to evade the public seemed to lend strength to state ments of Irishmen that the Australian prelate will attempt to go to Ireland notwithstanding the government's de termination that he shall not. He was first led to the subway pint form and then suddenly hurried info an automo bile into which his luggage had been placed. He was driven to tlie home of a priest in the suburbs. Archbishop Munnix declined to say whether he had any plans for the im' medlnte future and would not disclose what he Intended to do during his stay in Kngland.
