"In my humble way I have for sev

Much Deprods Upon Report

appointed yesterday to take part In the
"possible conference with representa
tives of the Rntish Government,"

the Sinn Fein, go to Invcrnees.
There were many, however, who be
lieved they might wait here until Lloyd
George announced his acceptance of nny
terms the Sinn Fein lnld down prelimi
nary to the conference.
It was obvious, however, the mission
that took Ilolnnd and McGrnth to Gair

tance, and that their rennrt mieht have
, much to do with the contlnunnce of the
negotiations.
Michael Collin. Finnnce Minister in
the Dull Eirennn Cabinet, is announced
to address u meeting nt Charleville,
County Cork, next Sunday, nnd it wns I
Htated today that he expected to fulfill
the engagement. This, it wns pointed
out, would make it virtually impossible
for him to arrive nt Inverness by Tues
day , the date set for the proposed con
ference, to which lie hns been named ns
u delegate, and the probability is thus
suggested that tho conference will not
begin on that date, nt any rate.

thnt Tlranru was reputed to be well

Mike Braneu told the

Runs to Police
A few minutes Inter he enme bursting
into the police station, breathless from
running nnd trembling with excitement.
He gasped that Ids brother had been
murdered at 0i" North American street,
and a detail of police was sent on the
run. Later he told his story of having
discovered the bodies.
"I went to the house," he said in
broken English, "looking for my broth
er. I found nil the doors open on the
first floor, but licnril nothing.
"So I went upstnjrs to the second
floor. My brother and his wife hntl a
room on this floor, nnd I went to it.
I found thnt John was not there, though
his wife was. She Is his third wife
Sometimes, I knew, when he nnd she
had quarreled, he went up to the third
floor to sleep with his son Peter, who
is fourteen, nnd tho son of his first
wife.
"So I went to the third floor. There
I saw n terrible thing. My brother luy
on the floor nil huddled up like this"
here the excited man threw himself on
n bench in the police stntion nnd drew
up his legs nnd arms In representation
of the body.
"My brother's head was beaten, and
he wns dead. He had not slept In the
bed, I looked toward the bed where
Peter lay. I saw that he, too. was
dead or dying. His head was bloody,
too. I went near him, nnd thought he
was breathing. And then I came here."
Rulldog Confronts Police
When the police nrrlved they were
confronted by a vicious bulldog which
belonged to the dead mnn. It had not
molested George Ilrancu, but perhaps
this was because it knew him. The
dog, it is said, customarily was kept
in the yard.
The dog refused to let the police pass,
and It was not until they had subdued
It that they could enter the house. Tlmv
sent the father's bodv to the morgue,
and the son to the Roosevelt Hospital.
He, like his father, had been battered
smammmmZM
on the head with ax or hammer, and
his brain is injured.
Mrs. Ilrnncu made no stntement when
the police went to the house, nor would
he sny anything after she reached the
police station. To all questions she re
plied that she could not speak English.
The police found on her clothing n
spot which they think may be blood.
She is not. however, charged with the
crime, nor under formal arrest.
Neighbors believed that robbery
might have prompted the crime. Two
men were seen hanging about the neigh
borhood nil day yesterday, passing nnd
repassing the house. The Brnncus were
making their year's supply of wine,
and had bought great quantities of
grapes. One theory is that some one
believed the head of the family lind n
la-ge supply of money, nnd killed him
in oi dei to get It.

RELATIVES CHARGE THEFT
Man Said to Have Stolen After
Being Given Home
Philip Cook, of Bethlehem, Pn., wos
held in $500 ball for the Grand Jury
by Recorder Stackhousc in Camden to
day, on tho chnrge of stealing from his
brother-in-law and sister, after they
had provided a home for him.
According to testimony, John Shro
dcr, the brother-in-law, told Cook to
come nnd live at his home, 421 North
Front street, Camden, several months
ago.
Two months ago Cook disappeared,
taking with him two wntches and n
fur coat belonging to his brother-in-law
and slbter, and two suits of clothes
which belonged to William II. Oden, a
lodger nt the house.
Cook was discovered at Bethlehem
through a newspaper story and was
brought back to Camden last night on
a warrant issued by his sister.

Conllnned from Pase One
twice a national chnmplon. was picked
to go through to the finals in his brnck
et and oppose Tllden for the crown,
but yesterdny he wns decidedly off his
game. The Australian took the first
two sets mainly on Williams' errors
and his own terrific serving. The for
mer Harvard star came bnck iu the
third set and lauded a victory. After
the intermission it looked as if Wil
liams were going through with the next
two sets. Ho took the fourth in great
shape, but in tho fifth, Anderson ngnin
got his deadly service working to his
favor and took the match.
The Tllden -Johnston mntch Btartcd

the battle were about to witness another
upset. The wee Culifornlnn snatched
the first set, 0-4. Tllden came back
in tne second nnd after a terrific strug
gle emerged a victor by 7-5. From then
on Tilden wns the master.
Tlldrn's Fourth Win
It was the seenth time Hi history
that these two monnrchs of American
lawn tennis have been matched and It
was the fourth victory for the tall Phil
adelphinn. Johnston won the national champion
ship twice. His first successful effort
wns in 1015. He repeated in 1010 and
defeated Tilden in doing so. These two
again faced each other in the final last
year and our Will landed his first na
tional crown. It is probablo that they
would have met In the final this year
had fate not thrown them in the same
bracket.
The defeat of Williams and Johnston
eliminated all chance of the United
States Lawn Tennis Association trophy
going to nny one for permanent pos
session. Both of these players have
two legs on the cup nnd would have
been able to place it among their col
lections for all time if either had won.
Kinsey-Davis Match
ICinsey nnd Davis, the two Western
stars, played before a small gallery ut
noon. Davis started serving and Kin
sey surprised by breaking through the
service of his tall rival nnd grabbing the
first game. This peeved Kinsey, nnd ho
took the se'eond game. Davis won his
service and took the lead on two ex
cellent placement shots.
Kinsey won his service nnd squared
the mntch at 2-ull on games. There
wns a terrific battle In the fifth game.
The score went to deuce twice before
Kinsey brought Davis to the net and
passed him with n drive down the side
line. This gave Kinsey tho lead and
then he hnd his service to fall back on.
A couple of outs gave Kinsey the
advantage In tho sixth gumo, but he
fell going after Davis' side-line drives,
nnd this brought the game to deuce.
After it had again gone to deuce, Dnvis
smashed one of Klnscy's serves down
the side line and passed him for the
game. This made it even-Stephen on
games.
On Ms own service, Davis copped tho

ury taxes now apply nlso was open.

cision on a number of legislative fea
tured of the House bill.

PARLEY WILL NOT DISCUSS
IMMIGRATION, SAYS T0KI0
Japan and U. S. Said to Hope for
Direct Settlement
Tokio, Sept. 15. (By A. P.) Re
lief that immigration problems will not
be included in the ngenda of the Wash
ington armament conference is held here
because both Japan nnd the United
States hope for n direct settlement. It
is understood the noto from Washington
regarding tho tigenda did not mention
immigration, nnd It is believed Japan
will not insist upon its inclusion.
The Nichl Nichl Shimbun snld yes
terday that negotiations regarding im
migration would be pushed later wheu a
fnvoruble opportunity wob presented,
Japan's proposals to China relative
to the restoration of Shantung arc con
sidered by newspapers as most libeinl,
and belief is expressed that they form
a basis for negotiations which may clear
uway the controversy over the future
stntus of Shantung. The Ashl Shimbun
snys other interested Powers could par
ticipate in the negotiations for opening
up the Interior of Shantung. "Jnpnn's
abandonment of an exclusive settlement
of the Shantung mntter and her prefer
entlal rights there, nnd the restoration
of customs," the newspaper continues,
"constltuto new features In Japan's
ITogram of restitution."

SPAIN IS WARY OF CHARLES

Ho Promises to Behave
Herne, Sept. 15. (Hy A. P.) The
"Jinnlsh Government is demanding po
litical nnd financial guarantees before
pcrmi ting former Emperor Chnrle" of
Austria to take up n residence In Spain,
a he has twice petitioned the Madrid
Government to bo allowed to do.
hpnln especially demands restrictions
on the liuurvliohf expenses of H0 ex!
hmporor. v,hlcl, nre estimated to
nmount annually to 1,200,000 Swiss
francs. This expenditure is caused by
his large suite of eighty persons, which
the Spanish Government desires n.
duccd considerably. " ro-
Mayor Mooro today will ask CotmMi s
to end tho delay that has eh...hU.ncl 1
tho handling of tho gas iltuatloa. IS
message will be accompanied by

Then, too, the personnel of the coun-'
c llmnnlc committee is said to bo rath.r
displeasing to the Mayor A majority
of the eight men appointed on the com.
mtttec arc said to be antagonistic to
tho Mayor, four of them being out-ani.
out Vare men. More than a majority
of the committee members voted for the
Hall gas ordinance, which would have ,
increased tho cost of gas ten cents tV
the consumer nnd nt tho same time
given the company $5,000,000 additional
revenue more than the company lt.if
sought.
The gas ordinnnco that tho Mayor will
send to Council will serve to ikow
whether .Tudgo Brown's followers In

and Limoburncr, will once moro allra
themselves with the Administration
forces. In view of Judge Brown',
dcclnratlon thnt ho is for the Mayor.
It is expected thnt tho three Coundlmen
will bo found back in the Mayor's camp
from which they broke a little less than

gas ordinance will show whether Judge"
Brown is earnest or whether be fa iii

for campaign purposes only.
Would Restore Majority
The switching of the three Council
men would restore the Mayor's maloriir
nnd mnko the number of the Mayor'i
followers eleven, as it wns when Mr,
Moore took office. It would also atrln
tho combination of its power to ride
roughshod over the .Mnyor s veto when
ever it suited the pleasure of the
lenders.
Thus the gns question is deemed of
far more Importance thnn appears on
