As a result of this victory Mulli-
gan was in line to meet some of the
best boxers in the country and Man-
ager Smith had been trying to or-
range for a. bout with Johnny Buff
ex-bantamwcight champion of the
world.
It was stated at the hospital this
morning that his condition was not
serious and that. he would be re-
leased in a short time. He was

GREECE VOTES
FOR REPUBLIC;
MARTIAL LAW
ATHENS. April l4.-—The Greek
people yesterday voted for the es~
tablishment of a. republic. The gov-
ernment. made it known last evening
that a. big majority in the plebiscite
held throughout the country favored
a republic.
The newspapers announce that
martial law will be proclaimed to-
day. This is probably for the pur-
pose of preserving law and order.
The voting in Athens and many
towns in the provinces was over—
whelmingly for a republic.
The Greek National Assembly on
March 25 passed a. resolution in fa-
vor of the overthrow of the Glucks—
burg dynasty and the establishment
of a Greek republic.
On December 18 last King George
XI was ordered to leave Greece by
the Government pending the deci-
-ion of the National Assembly as to
the form of the future government.
He proceeded to Bucharest. and la-
ter took up his residence at Brasov.
Transylvania where on April 8 he
issued a proclamation to the Hellen-
ic people, protesting aganist recent
events in Greece and claiming the
right to reign in accordance with
the constitution of the country.
‘ The action of the National Assem-
bly in overthrowing the dynasty was
taken by practically a unanimous
vote_ and preparations were made for
a plebiscite. upon which the assemb-
ly had based its decision.
From the opening of the newly—
eleeted assembly on January 1 there
was demand for a. Greek republic.

BIRTHDAY
OF JEFI'TRSON
Is OBSERVED
School Children Here
Join Memorial Move-
ment —- Prize Essays
‘ ——Local Committee
A more general observance of the
birthday of Thomas Jenerson was»
made yesterday here and elsewhere
than ever before. This is doubtless
due to the fact that movement is on
foot under the auspices of the Theo
mas Jefferson Memorial Committee
to acquire Monticello as a national
shrine in honor of our great father
and patriot. For several weeks. the
children of the city have been en-
gaged in an essay writing contest for
which prizes are to be awarded in
order that the children may have
a more intimate acquaintaiaco with
his life and achievements.
The idea of the acquisition of»
Monticello is in line wltlfthe idea of
our national shrine for Washington
at Mount Vernon. Last week the
children were permitted to contrib-
ute for the purpose of acquiring
Monticello the sum of from one
penny to five cents.
Jefferson is very much in the po.
sition of “‘ashlngton as not being
clnsldered the heritage of any one
political party or religious Memorial
Foundation is a. committee wholly
non-partisan in spirit and personnel.
and it now seems that the activity of
the committee is about to bring rea-
lization at the time of the 181“ an-
niversary of Jefferson's birth. the
possibility of the acquisition of his
beautiful estate at Monticello. The
very fact that Jefferson chose for his
epitaph these three ideas of Ameri-
can independence; second. of the
statutes of Virginia for religious
(rertlcm; and tmrd. to her of the
University of V: glnla. show: that no
put liberal movements ahead of per.
sonal achievements as the real ac-
comiflshmcnts of his life. - .
The Judges of the essay contist‘in
the schools are Judge Juhn E.
Light Miss Margaret “119011. of the
Not-walk Library. and Rev. 1”. E.
Jacobs. of the South Norwalk Con‘
gregational church. The ideal com-
mittee in charge of the campaign in

WASIIL'GTON. April 1!.—-3[O-
mentous questions confronted the
organization Republican of the Sen-
ate today when they went into party
conference to discuss I. course of
action.
Their principal task was presented.
by the pending Japanese exclusion
amendment to the Senate Immigra-
tion bill. on which an agreement was
sought despite the feeling of lead-
ers that whether they; decided to
support or oppose the proposal it
would be adopted when it reached
a vote.
In addition. however. they had
before them the issues developing
from President Coolidge's vigorous
protest against the trend of the in-
vestigation of the Internal Revenue
Bureau, which has brought. the ques-
tion of all Senate investigations of
the executive departments into sharp
relief with an open breach between
the chamber and the White House
threatened.
Another problem that was press-
for consideratlouwas the mat-

or revenue legislation and behind
that lay the crowded condition of
the calendar. generally. with farm
relief and other important measures
requiring attention.

This is the first decisive step in
the drive for $3,500 to establish
three playgrounds in Norwalk. Ten-
ative plans of the committee call for
the opening of the playgrounds to
the children this summer. How-:ver.
if this is to be done. the ordering of
the equipment.and the engaging of
the playgrounds supervisors must be
taken care of by May 1.
The committee asks every one’s
help in putting this drive across.
There is already in the treasury $1.—
000 and the drive for the $3,500
was started two ‘weeks ago by
Charles H. Harris. who contributed
8250.
Harry Lama is treasurer and con-
tributions may be sent. to him at the
South Nor-walk Savings Bank. or
they may be left or sent to the Sen-
tinel office.
The’committee urges residents in
Norwalk to interest themselves in
this project whose sole purpose is
to give to the children of this city
playgrounds. where. under the su-
pervision of a. play director, they
may playwithout fearrof being rug
down by an Marianne... ’
Nearly every to: in flit" United
States has opened up recreation

alone appears to have overlooked
the fact. that children. if they are
to grow up to be worthy citizens.
must have some place besides the
street in which to play. Help the
children.
