Colonel Beach with his raiders went

breaking in the doors the ofilcers
waited until one of tlie sunposed patrons

in, arresting both tlie man on the door
and the man who was leaving.
The narcotic squad slipped into the

Although squads of poliie qulekh
reached the snot where the bandit
stopped the trnin b jerking the emer

air coupling, no truce of him had been
found today.
Members of the trnin crew warned

the bandit, apparently frightened hy the
steward's resistance, fled without trying
to take the steward's ninne.

Prie.-t, told tlie police Todd had arous.d
the resentment of three dining ear em
ployes recently by securing their dis
charge after having trouble with them

Xew York, Aug. Ul. 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."

Archbishop Mot at Station by
Only a Few Priests and
Reporters
By the Associated Press
IOiidnn. 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.
