eeeond, In behalf t our legal rights,
which we feel haVo'been infringed upon
In the infliction of any .punishment upon
our boys' fraternity organized nnd op

Went Beyond Jurisdiction
"We feel that the statement enndc to
jou last Thursday, March SI, by the
president of the newly organized Cam
den chapter, one of thOitwo boys' fra
terntiee, Sigma, Kappa, , which met
trlth your disapproval, to, the effect that

would and did dfsba'nd at (hat time,
should have lioi.d generously met by
ou, and that the following Monday
nnd Tuesday, -April 4 nnd J3, with the
Camden chapter disbanded, you should
not have gone beyond what wo hold
as your jurisdiction u tlibr matter.
"We fed that but for the oavlng
grace of loyal classmates, tbesq bij
would be so severely, hurt thatwo could
not prophesy 'to what extent it would
Influence them later In their lives; that
It Is a daugcrous thing to wound strong

Impressionable ogc. Wo feel that 6
should sustain our sons npd the boys

"For peace sake tho parents aro wlll

'SLAUGHTERHOUSE'
Place Believed 'Gravoyard' for
'Stolen' Cars on Which Mo

OWNER,EX-POLICEMAN,HELD
A farm at Point Pleasant, Pa.. chaY
neterized "By tli'o police as a "alnughtcr
houao" for highly insured stolen motor
cars, haa been discovered and lta owner,
a former Philadelphia" policeman, ar
rested. The owner is Oeorge Miller, of 2207
Amber. street, who sass tho'farm Is his
summer homo. He was arrested last
night by Detectives Fnrrell and Nieden
thnl, of tho "auto squad." after they
had trailed him irom Twelfth nnd Cal
lowhill streets to Eighth street and
Fair-mount nventic.
Farrell visited the' farm yesterday
and found tho parts of a number ot
motorcars, tho mnjorlty partly de
strojed by fire, There were two ears
Which had not yet been wholly de
molished. Ono was identified as the
property ot a veterinarian living in
South Philadelphia.
Detective1 Farrell said this man had
reported the loss of his machluo last
September. He said, further, thatl the
insurance had been paid. The second
car could not be identified.
"The placo is undoubtedly a slaughter
house for automobile owners in league
with men who 'steal' their cars in order
that the owners may be able to obtain
insurance," said Farrell.
Captain Soudcr, commenting on tlie
(ilMwery of tho Tarm and arrest of
Miller, said: "It looks to mo like a
gravejard for alleged ttolen cars."
Miller joined the police force in 10KI

LABOR SUPPORTS MINERS
AS HUGE CONFLICT LOOMS
Imdnn, April 8. Premier l.lojd
. 'icorg,. havioj; failed In his efforts to
bring mitrrn and mine owners together
I to discuss their differences, the miners'
representatives went Into conference this
afternoon with their partners In the
triple Alllnnco" the transport work
ers ami railway men to decide when
members of the allied ' organizations
should be cnlled out In a sympathetic
strike.
It was dciiled that the railway men

of negotiations for n settlement of the
stride.
. Tlie Ilrltlsh' rovcrnment's intention tn
'nnnenl for voliintrera for tlie Irnnsi.nrl
and other essentlnl'se'rvlee. In vlnu- nt
the prospective "Triple Alllnnco" strike,
was announced in the House of Com
mons late today tby Mr. Lloyd George. '
'Royal Proclamation,
A rojal proclamation would call up
lie army and navy reserves, ho added.
Tho government nlso, Intends to enroll
special constables and. form a special
emergency forcQ for n period of ninety
unjs to protect the police in the execu
tion of duty.
After recounting the day's events,
from nhich he drew the conclusion that
the Mlmrs Federation Is determined to
allow the mines to go to destruction in
Ihr belief that by such action It' will be
able to Intimidate the nation Into sur
render, Mr. LIo.mI Oeorge declared It
was the duty of the government, ns the
trustees of tho nntlon, to prevent this
catastrophe. Ho then. announced1 the
measures to be taken and read the king's
emergency pioclami.tion.
J. Austen Chamberlain, the govern
ment leader In the House, moved that
the king's message, be tnken under con
sideration Monday. Amid cries of "To
morrow" the motion wns" agreed to,
and the House adjourned.
Last night's decision by tho prime
minister to imite the miners and owners
to a conference this morniug, ut which
the first subject for discussion would be
the resumption of pumping to clear the
mlncft of water, led the general public
to believe a settlement was in sight and
that the impending strike, promising to
bo the greatest In the history ot the
country, would be averted.
1101(1 Sides Refuse, to Rudgo
The miners, however, were adttmaut
in their stand. They insisted thero should
bo no restriction on the conference An
exchange of letters between them nnd
Mr. Llod George fulled to chango their
minds.
The government was just as firm In
Its view thnt the threatened destruc
tion ot the mines by flooding should be
first considered.
Thus early this afternoon It came
to he known that a deadlock had been
reached and that apparently nothing
short of a backdown by tlie government
could avert tho industrial upheaval.
The "Triple Alliance," which has
now taken over command of labor's side
oi tne controversy, lias a membership
of 800.000 miners, .".OO.OOO railwavmen
and 250,000 transport workers. It is
tho child of Robert Smllllc. who hns
been its president hIiicc Its formation
in lOlo. and who recently resigned tho

CUSTODY CAUSES.
A temporary reprieve was grunted to
day to Sidney A. Ryan, alias "Whlley"
Morris, convicted of first degree mur
der, nnd slated for execution Monday,
jho same day the court had fixed for
argument on a new trial.
Whether the prisoner should remain

two count officials yesterday.

Courts Appealed To
The argument between the two men
resulted In tho hearing on a writ of
habeas corpus today before Judge
llroomall to determine "Whitey's" law
ful custodian.
Rnn was sentenced to death last year
on conviction of the murder of Vincent
Popicl, a Chester jitney driver, nis
ilatu of execution was fixed bv Governor
Sproul, then he Commuted his sentence.
Tho bonrd nf pardons refused to permit
this. Aud the result was the conflict of
dates nnd the .clash between the twooffii
elals. When Sheriff Granger walked into
Media jail yesterday nnd asked for the
prisoner, who Is partlv paraly7ed and
Ignorant ot the peculiarities of his post
tlon, he was refused flatly.
Plenty of Verbal Flreworlts
"Tou're a big bully," came the retort,
"and jou'll havo to, come down from
that czar-llkc attitude. I'm going to
show jou you're, not bigger than the
Governor or the wnrdrn of Western Pen

England and Franco Draw Together
The movement aUFaris in the direc
tion of the .United States is followed
by a hasty movement in the direction of.
Great Britain. "Myvery good friend,"
says M. Rriand, "whatever vwe mav
have we two mav be counted upon to
bold together." France, which sees In
our friendship a possible request to
throw the Versailles pact Jnto the pot.
Is alarmed. Kngland has a similar
thought, England nnd France draw to
gethcr'mo,vcd by n common anxiety.

hrance vnnts to know just how much
she commits; herself to before accepting
the.Hughca doctrine. She clings to the
treaty of Versailles. It Is, one Paris
paper pathetically remarks, all France
got out of the war.
It is impossible to say here how much
Mr. Hughes wishes to reopen. It Is
probable that ho docs not know himself
how much he wants to reopen. All he
knows is that in his judgment the peace
ot Paris is still in procc.su of negotla'
tlon, the pacification of the world has.
not been effected. And his plan is let
us approach the problem in the broad

This doctrine of Mr. Hughes thnt
peace has not been made has facts on
its side. The Paris conference, de
.pairing of making a real peace, made
a half peace, signed It hattlly and then
ran away. Rut though facts are on
the side of Mr. Hughes, technicality s
favor our late allies. A treaty of peace
bus been made and accepted by airbut
mo of the chief belligerents. F.ng
liind, France and Italy may cling tu
that treaty and refuse to admit ou"
rights as a belligerent. Legally the
are in a position to do no; economically
and morally they probably are not.

ny me treat, our contention that
the whole subject of war settlement l
open is absurd. Most questions were
settled nt Paris. We shall be delighted
to negotiate the unsettled questions with
OII.
France will adhere to that view
I rather obstinately. She has been led ti
1 believe that the Versailles treatv is lie
only security for the future. England
cares less for the Versailles treatv and
more to j;et trndu restored. Still the
Versailles treaty gave her two certain
things, certuln mnndates, certain ship
ping opportunities which sho highly
prizes. She will cling to the treat
i for a while.
j And further, one point of her polii v
i is not to break with France. She will

self of comparatively little importance.
Two Questions Involved
