Such proof. he. insisted. must come

is sincere and indisputable," he con-
tinued. "cannot go so far as to lull
her vigilance and make her forget
the lessons of the past."
The president emphasized the
statement that 1' rance could not re-

trol which the treaties give her the
right to cxerclsevover Germany.

women and two men. at today's sco-
aion of Greer's trial on a charge of
attempting to murder Dines.
Greer does not deny that he shot
Dincl, but will seek acquittal on the
ground of self-defense. according to
his counsel. So far no witness has
taken the stand to deny that Greer
shot in self deft-nae. and Dlnes has
exhibited no eagerness to testify
against the chauffeur. Owing to the
failure of the Denver man to appear
for the trial. the testimony he gave
at Greor's preliminary hearing will
be read. This consisted largely of
assurances that he did not remcmo
ber anything about the shooting.

NEW YORK. Juno 17.——-Thc pos-
sibility of abrogating the time-hon-
ored two thirds rule governing the
nomination of candidates by the Na.-
tlonal Democratic Convention con-
tinues today to bc-the most discuss-
ed topic among the leaders and dele-
gates alrcaly assembled here.
It is generally believed that. un-
less a. move for a discontinuance of
the rule comes from McAdoo forces.
the procedure which has been fol-
lowed in the Democratic gatherings
since the days of Andrew Jackson
will be followed in the coming con-
clavc.
The arrival tomorrow of William
G. McAdoo. to lead his convention
forces may result in a definite an-
nouncement as to 'hls attitude.
It is asserted that the Smith fol-
lowers prefer to abide by the present
procedure.
Despite the fact that close friends
of Homer S. Cummings. of Connec-
ticut. declared that he was not a
candidate for the chairmanship of
the Rules committee it was freely
predicted by well-informed observ-
era and leaders today that he Would
be drafted for the post.

The budget for 19244925 of the

lut night at a meeting of the Board

t on.
Miss Mary K. Jennings. another
member of the Charity Board. ap-
peared before the Board of Estimate

salaries which included $2.000 for
a superintendent.
"ll is a mistaken impression that
the Board of Charities was unanlo

Merrill as superintendent of chari-
ties." explained Miss Jennings.
"“‘hen your board ’allowod $2,000
for a superintendent. I understood

"You understand then.” inquired
Mark M. Henderson. Board of Esti-

ed worker in the sense that was
meant by the Board of Estimate in
making the. appropriation last year.
Mr. Merrill is a man of valuable
experience but as an advisor and
notus a superintendent of charl-
ties.‘
William H.1fcMshon inquired as
to whether the Board of Charities

“No." replied Corporation Coun—
sol Cuneo. "He cannot."
Mr. Merrill was questioned re-
garding several of the items in the
budget. which totaled 842.300.
Salary Incense.
In the matter of an increase to the
clerk's salary. both Miss Jennings
and Mrs. Merrill agreed that the

mingled in with all the happiness.
"We have worked and played to-
gether here for the past three
years." he said. ““‘e have shared
our pleasursc and troubles. 'We
have come to regard one another as

to break our family ties and to go
away from that which we have
learned to love."
Miss Helen Prendcrgnst. class loc-

Heaviest Liquor Sen-
tence in History of
iLocal Court-—— Flynn
Fined $200
Disposing of the cases of James
Pluukett and George Flynn. Judge
Nehemiah (.‘andeo in the uptown
city court imposed the heaviest pen-
alty in the history of the court for
liquor violation. In the case of
Plunkett. Judge Candee found the
accused guilty of seven counts and
imposed a fine of $700 and 10 day-
ln Jail on each count. The fine to-
talled $700 and the jail sentence 70
days. In Flynn‘s casc.‘Judge Can-
dce took into consideration he was
a. first offender and had promised
that the blinding used as a. "blind
tiger" at “’ubington and Water
streets would not be used for that
purpose in the future. Judge Can-
dee fined the accused S200 and
costs. and imposed a. ten day sus-
pended Jail sentence.
Attorney Paul Conneryuwho rc-
prcsentcd the accused. at a hearing
held Monday filed a. demurrer which
was overruled. The court then or-
dered the accused to plead which
they refused today. They wen
found guilty.
In summing up the case. Prosecuo
for Edward M. Lockwood declared
that the place raided by the State
police under the lirsctlon of Sergeant
Frank Vireili “as notorious. He
said that Flyrn was in the ban-room
at the time the police entered the
place. He declnred that the rear
door of the place was fitted out with
a. device whereby the owners could
look out and ascertain whether or
not the person wanting admittance
was all right. He told the court
that Flynn had assured him that
the place would be used as a store
and that Flynn. himself. ‘1- work-
ing in a hat shop. “Juan Lockwood
said. however. in Pluakqtt'l use
that u: had We
11mm 1 on n aim fir charge.
01: that . on a fine of $100 and
costs was imposed . An ap-
peal was taken. but in the Court of
Common Pleas. the accused did not
appear and a bond of 8250 was for-
felted.
Attorney Connery pointed out to
Judge (‘nndeo that forfeiture of
bond dis not mean a conviétion.
Judge Candee. taking into consider-
ation that Flynn was workingunt
the Rough Hat company. suspend-
ed the ten day jail sentence. but
imposed the $200 fine. The court
said that the Plunkctt case was dlfo
recent and with this imposed the
fine of 8100 and a ten day jail sen-
tence on each of the seven counts.
No appeal was taken. but the ac-
cused have forty-eight hours in
which to take this action. In the
meantime. both are out under $1.000
bond.
Arrangements were made whereby
the case- of Charles Sigsway. Bor-
tlno and Carmalo. Angelo Bercilce.
Macke and Tesio all charged with
liquor violations. will be given hear-
ings at 9 o'clock Saturday morning
in the uptown city court.
