I was right on both occasions and entirely consistent." The senator added that what was Im portant wag not the question of his per sonal consistency but that one of the two great parties should have begun the campaign with misrepresentation. "I think I am safe in saying," he continued, "that never before has the declaration of the principles of a great national party carried an attack on any individual members of the opposite party.

Opinions from suffrage lead ers, lawyers and unofficially from gov ernment sources, agreed that the suf frage amendment Is safe beyond the possibility of repudiation or annul ment. Secretary of Htato llalnbrldge Colby nnd Undor Secretary Norman Davis withheld comment today In the absence of any word from Governor Roberts, or Tennessee, notitying the state ne ipurtmcnt of the latest trick turned by I tho "antlR." It is understood the State Department will take no cognizance of I new developments unless brought offl , rinlly to Its attention in the form of an inquiry or notice of action taken. I Can't Rovers Vote the reversal of the vote ot uotn xiouso and Senate, can now affect the validity of the amendment or set asme tne pre vious act of ratification. They declared the amendment because an Integral nart of the federal constitution when Sec retary Colby Issued his proclamation last week nnd can only bo repealed by another constitutional amendment fol lowing the same course. Miss Alice Paul, chairman of the National "Woman's party, telephoned partv headquarters from New York that the best legal advice obtainable there confirmed this judgment, "We take the position that the ac tion of the Tennessee House is illegal and of no effect on the nineteenth amendment." Miss Paul said. "This is also the view of Attorney General Thompson, of Tennessee, as expressed to tho members who attempted to re Hclnd ratification. Not even the with drawal of certification by Governor Roberts can stay the amendment now. for ratification has been consummated and it is federal law "If the Tennessee House were to be sustained In its action, there would be! nothing to prevent nny state Legislature from resrlndinc notion taken on otliei constitutional amendments 100 years I nen. Such nuestltins as slavery and pro hibition would be reopened and the whole fabric of constitutional law would collapse. Dead as Julius Caesar "Tennessee's action comes too late. It Is absurd." Frank P. Walsh, counsel for the militants nnd a leader in the long rati fication fight, declared the Isuc of rati fication "as dead as Julius Caesar."

Seek to Trace Funds A conference was held this afternoon by an attorney who icpresents Toomey, to "find out where the grnvy is." as the lawyer expressed It. At the conference, held In the law yer's office in the Commercial Trust Building this nfternoon, were Mrs. Toomey and Richard Toomey, the 11c- I . , i.nni.orH brother The attorney would not permit his name to be used for the present, ne said his plan is, if possible, to learn where the money which Toomey is al leged to have embezzled has gone. The lawyer hopes that all of tho amount, admittedly large, though bank officials say it may be considerably lesn than the $.100,000 specified in the'war runt, may not have been lost. On Trull of the $.100,000 "My plan in to have Toomey reveal where tho money is hidden. If he really has any of It left, and try to make an arrangement with the bank to go easy on him in return for partiai restitu tion," the lawjer said. One rumor today was that some of the heavy losses sustained by Toomey were in a "gilded gambling hell," with every circumstance of wealth and luxury as u setting for crap tables and roulette wheels, located in 11 town twenty miles irom I'liuaueipiiia. Although were doubts pressed by members of tho gambling ring In Philadelphia as to Toomey actually having lost anything approarh- nig .iuu,uuu at norse-racing or otner lorm oi gamming, a new report was that he had "dropped" SS00O on one trip to Atlantic City. Who won this money was not revealed. The story is that it was lost "shooting craps" 'und mat lour big gamblers split the win- ning. The local detective bureau nnnar- ently knows little about the case. De tective Lo Strange has been working on it alone. Captain Souder said today he knew nothing about it. The bank officials are employing private detec tives to trace out Toomcy's story. toomey a urrest continues to be tho chief tontc of conversation amone ram oiock mantei AT . blers. One of them, who admitted Toomey had placed bets with him ranging from $10 to $200. discussed tho ease freely, revealing many intimate details about Toomcy's habits. "The police not only know every place Toomey has placed bets," said this man, "but they know the nmounts that he usually wagered and how much he usually won nnd lost. "Even during tho Smith administra tion, when gambling houses ran wide open, plain clothes men frequently visit ed pool rooms where bets were taken on the races and made It their business to know the regular bettors and what, If anything, they did for a living." "Do you think that Toomey lost 'J ' ' : sfePTEMBB 1, - ' . as much as ho said ho did on. tho races? the gambler wait asked. "Yen and no h renlled. "Whllo Toomey was not accustomed to ploco more than $200 on any one horse,it should be remembered there are usuauy seven races at each meeting every day and that regular bettors make it a cus tom to bet on three or more ot these races! . "However, It was liquor, 'Honest John' and dice that caused Toomey to lose most of his roll in fact if he had stuck to the ponies' he would have been all right, Toomey never played long shots. Favorites, where the odds were small, were backed mostly by him. No mttter whether he won or lost, after the winner ot the lost race of the day had been announced by the 'informa tion' bureau, Toomey and several of his friends, of whom I was one, would 6ften start drinking and it vtns liquor that made Toomey anxious to play some. 'Honest John' or craps. "As a rule ho never played long and ho always went homo at 7 :30 at night. I have known Toomey for fivo years and I have never known hira even to flirt with another woman no matter how for under the influence, of liquor he was." "If tho police know so much about where Toomey lost his money why don't they take those responsible into custody?" tho gambler was asked. "Bookies" Out of Town "All of the 'bookies' including one at Thirteenth and Filbert atreets whero Toomey used to gamble heavily, are at Saratoga. The meeting there has just closed and. doubtless they bavo got wind of tho Toomey affair nnd will go to Relmont nnd Havre de Grace before coming home. This is the dull season for the professional gamblers and de spite the fact they know that it is im possible to beat the 'book,' they always take a 'filer' at this time of ,year. Many of the gamblers get jobs as wait ers at tho club at Saratoga so that they are in a good position to do n little 'touting' and take occasional bets themselves. However, they went to Sarntoga for tho express purpose of trying to beat the 'book.' No brains." "Did Toomey place many bets after the Moore administration camo into power?" the gambler was asked. "Yes," ho replied. "Although all the known gambling house were and are Ktlll tinder 'quarantine,' thero is still ronsidcrablc betting 'on tho curb,' and Toomey placed many bets that way. Many of the men who have been as signed to the gambling houseb get their $r a day from the bookies just like any other employe. Tho only difference now nnd when horse racing was wide open is that now they can't put the sheet on the wall and n great majority of the bets arc confined to tho 'curb' and telephone." Jpnitr A7JJ "flvtinlffi" v uul '' Is I Ulin.t Are Under Arrest C'ontlnnnl from l'ate One napping, has not shaken Chief Leonard's belief that Pasquale was the actual kidnapper. He reiterated this opinion today. Chief Leonard withheld details of the new nrrests. Ho would not say where the prisoners nro confined. They were caught, he said, in somewhat the same fashion that Pasquale was trapped when state police say his greed prompted him to wrest more money from the par ents of the baby. After state police and private de tectives had sought in vain to locate the kidnapper, Mr. Coughlin, in several newspaper advertisements, announced his willingness to deal privately with "The Crank." Ho nromiscd not to ; take the authorities into his confidence. "Easy Money" Was Sought This promise, it is said, inspired ti linlf-dor.cn persons with the idea that easy money" awaited them in ex- pbaugo for n few letters addressed to Coughlin. Hut when the father began receiving missives from separate points, all signed alike, but evidently written by different persons, the easy-money schemes were frustrated by their frequency. The letters were turned over to Lconnrd, and Postal Inspectors Holtby, McVlcker nnd Ilnwkeswnrtk were assigned to ruu down the writers. Dummy packages proved the undoing of tho four under arrest. The inspec tors, accompanied by state police, went to the places the writers ordered Mr. Coughlin to go to. Packages were placed in the caches designated. When the alleged extortioners tried to obtain them they were pounced upon. Announcement of the four arrests was coincident with the imposing of sentence of another man who posed as Blakrly'H kidnapper and who demanded n ransom. This man, James Shields, of Latrobe. was sentenced today at Greens burg, Pa., to not less than two years and eleven months and not inoro than three years in the penitentiary. Swindler is Convicted Shields wns convicted yesterday be fore Judge A. D. MrConnell of attempt ing to extort $10,000 from Mr. Cough lin, whose son disappeared June 2 from the Coughlin summer home at Norris town. Tho father was the first witness called. It was reported that Mr. Coughlin testified a nursemaid had notified him that the baby bad been kidnapped. This alleged testimony was at va riance with tho first account given by Coughlin. At that time he said he had discovered the child wus missing from ltn crib. He said he looked in the other children's room nnd later found a ladder outside the nursery window. District Attorney Henrlcks, of Mont gomery county, asserted today his at tention hnd been drawn to the alleged discrepancy. Ho said C. Townley Larzelerc. counsel for the father, ex plained Mr. Coughlin had been mis quoted. The district attorney said no further statement has bctn obtaind from Pas quale.

Fighting was re sumed here this morning between na tionalists, unionist shipyard workers from the Bhnnkhlll district and troops. Jitavy firing continued nearly balf an hour, and It is feared the casualty list is heavy. Tho fighting centered about Nortli street. That thoroughfare was thronged with shipyard workers at 8 o'clock. Sud denly thern wns a series of revolver shots, apparently coming from Mill Field, which Is the center of the na tionllsts' streets nbutting on North street.. Nearby military pickets rushed to tho scene, took shelter behind walls nnd poured in n fierce fire, which wns returned by snipers. The battle wns accompanied by the shrieking of mill and foundry sirens. Matters finally be came too hot for tho Sinn Fciners and they were dislodged with the aid of nn armored car. The shipyard workers, in their zeal to help the soldiers, became n nuisance and tne commanding officers asked them to withdraw. Tram cars caught between the op posing forces ran a gauntlet of bullets, the drivers cowering over their wheels and the passengers lying on the floor. Enforcement of the curfew ordinnnco in this city last night had a quieting ef fect. All persons without permits wero compelled to leave tho streets nt 10:80 o'clock, nnd nil tram cars ceased run ning nt 0 o'clock. Reforc midnight the streets were almost deserted, and only a few persons without permits were ar rested. There were several flres in various sections of the town during the early evening, but no serious rioting oc curred. It is definitely known that one man was killed in the North street encoun ter. Therew ns another bitter fight at the docks between shipyard workers nnd union dock workers, the dockers firing on the shipyard employes.

The total number of serious fires in Belfnat since Wcdncsdnv last reached 21-1 this morning. WOULD REFUSE RITES TO HUNGER STRIKERS London, Sept. 1. (By A. P.) Be cause of the hunger strike of Terrcnce MnrSwincy, Lord Mayor of Cork, the question litis been widely discussal hero recently ns to whether It Is justifiable to give the Inst snrrament to hunger strikers, it being maintained by many persons thnt, to all Intents, such strik ers were commlttine suicide. Fnther Rcrnnrd Vaughan. who is famous for his sermons and writings, today made the following statement to the Press Asso ciation regarding the subject: "Personally, from my reading cf the ology, moral and dogmatic, I should not feci entitled to administer the rites of tho church to nny one, no matter what his nationality, who was deliberately dying through 11 hunger strike. Rut I am frco to admit that ether theologians, far more learned than I 11m, would ro versc my verdict, on the subject. "Some moralists there nro who deny that hunger striking cannot be justified; others have drawn n distinction between objective truths and subjective error. But, as vou are asking for my personal view of the subject, J give it for what it Is worth, without comment upon any one who may differ from me." NABBED AS MAIL THIEF John S. Armhold, Eleventh street near' Rltncr, driver of 11 parcel post autotruck, was arrested today by postal inspectors on a charge of larceny from the malls.
