ABU

IS DEFEATED

rtNTER NATIONAL NEWS SERVICE! LONDON, March 3. Ivord Hugh Cecil's amendment to tho Irish Free State act, by which th Ulster boundary alterations would be referred to minor

adjustments and not to large transfers ;

Of Ulster territory to tha Free States i defeated in ha house of commons his afternoon. The vote was 199 to 60. Defeat of the amendment caxried with It olosure of debate arid virtually assures passage of the Irish Free State act upon third and llnal reading. The unionist "die hards'" in the house of commons have carried a consistent fisht to amend the Irish Free State act. but have been defeated m every encounter by the adherents of Tremter Uoyd George. A previous afterapt had been made to secure enaction of an amendment which would reduce the status of the Anglo-Irish peace pact to an agreement between Kngland and Ireland. The Irish Free State act confers upon tho provisional government at E'ublln all the administrate e powers contained in the treaty. The nest step will be to draw up an Irish constitution and elect a constitutent assembly. A new

t'vernment will then be cerated in

i-'ublin and the Irish Frco State will then be an accomplished fact.

6TERNAD'S MIDGETS REAL ENTERTAINERS

j With yesterday's matfriee anti ven-' ijs performance at the Farttiencn ! theatre i-ajne a real surprise in the ; form of :?ternad't Mvdgrets. Hammond k;ss witriessfHl the performance of oth- J tr companies of the same type, in

tiny oik

Iad;ng role and entertained as did the !N3jts last nisrht. The company is young- and tn order t" place it si.;!f In the high ligrhts, bere it justly belongs, a number of lr;tc;-etfnp acts are arranged and each t 'iy at'tjr an 1 actress works mitfhty tiard to please the audience. Sinking 3:.ncins. stunt actin-g with their pontes, dogfs and mi-dret elephant, said to be the on'.y one on the stage today, they present a performance equal to any we have seen in tha same class of

entertainment.

!nif circumstances arising from the in-

l;'al performance was the appearance! of Sternad himself and the rousing re- j eeption he received is proof of the j fr. ish esteen the.se tiny show people i 1-oUl for the "Big Boes." This unques- ' tlona-bly makes for a better show and, I something n-ot often found In pres-l nt day vaudeville ccnrpanles. In-j

c'uded in this act is the famous Hoy &:ters and many other little performers. The Hoy Sisters are without a iivjbt the 1xt sha.ped and attractive l.ioltins midgets we have ever seen an 3

much in demand in days to come. It is rumored at the present time that Barnum and Bailey would like to haive them for their coming circus attractions, but we imagine it would be a tough proposition to get them away from Sternad.

TELLS OF SAVAGE STORM Mrs. Florence Smith of Russell t., this mornir.gr received a letter from her uncle X. A. Frost, of Frankfort, Mich., under date of Feb. 2S in which he describes the ftorm which for the 7-.;it ten daja has isolated Northern Michigan from the rest of the world.

rssortment of -views taken after the storm of Feb. 23, 1922: "It would take me a week to tell you about It. so ani not going to try; only will say it was fierce and the very worst sleet storm anyone In the country ever heard of. The trees were loaded with ice from top to bottom, breaking down the limbs and in many p'acea the whole trees fell. Not a shade tree in the whole town stands undamaged, but nearly ruined. The orchards in many locations, are fiat on the ground. We have been without any communication with the outside world for six days, not a telephone, telegraph, radio or a train In working crder. Last night at 1:43 a. m., the iirst train got through, bringing mail, passengers and a little of everything which tvelped some. Ice on the tracks from four to twelve Inche-s thick for over one hundred miles, they say. Blasting, chopping, picking and all sorts of means have been used to looen it up. A thousand or more men have been at work 'between here and raiillac and have at lat succeeded in getting a train over it."

BIG PACKERS ARE OBEYING THE LAW

INTERNATIONAL NEWS SERVICE j WASHINGTON. March 3. The "Big j Five" packers are obeying the law. j

Attorney General Daugherty inrormea the senate yesterday. In reply to a request from the senate the attorney general declared that the packers' consent decree. In which the United States supreme court ordered the packers to divorce themselves from all unrelated industries, is being carried out "to the letter." The attorney general rendered a complete report on tho case, including the recommedation of the inter-departmental commission for modification of the eiistlnr decrees.

President Georgw Washington Grant of the Braves did not make any comment on the two trades the owner of the Red Sox recently completed and which knocked the fans of the Hub dizzy. While the fans of Boston, particularly the followers of the American league team of that cit; . are awaiting restoratives, the . of the Braves no doubt is

ooine ;

perhaps wishing. Grant is a showman r,r. a pood business man. He Uf.o-.vs v. hat the public wants and

iv.jr3 stride t'j s-Titisfy it,

-t snovraan. Gi ant no doubt reali7.es tiiEi thf two recent deals made by t ;-.- !Ud .Sox. especially the one in wrtk-.h the Yankees figured, has opened the way to make Boston a National league town almost exclusively. Now i3 the time for Grant to act. The iron is hot and he should strike, for to strike now would send the ftock cf his club soaring high. I'vom Boston cornes word that the fans have resented the recent actions of t lie owner of the Red Sox, ?.-.-i if that is true it would not take much to make them turn and support the National league club of that city mort liberally than ever. The Braves were contenders for the National league flag in mid-season iast summer, and when they were figured as possible pennant winners thv fans turned out in droves while th-jy were playing tt home. The i.'cd Sox were almost forgotten. V.ut the Byrton team lacked the Jiiss necessary to remain in the light to the end of the wire, and wl;en the slump came there was a slight decrease in patronage. But the spurt proved that the Hub fans want a winner and will support one.- They hare not had a i kampionship National league team thrrc since 1914, and the last American league pennant was won under the 'iirection of Edward Barrow in i;l8, the year the Red 'Sox wer

composed of such players as Ruth, Mays, Schang, Bush, Mclnnis and Scott, all of whom have since been sold or traded to the Yankees or Indians. The Hub fans are weary of seeing former members of the Red Sox hcip win pennants for other clubs and are hoping that in the near future a team representing Boston

will be a contender for the highest

. of heavy thinking, and ' honors of the game. But they do

not expect to see their representatives m the American league fight for the honors. Thev depend on

Being I the National leaguers to make their

fend dreams come true. The Braves are strong, but not strong enough to win a National leaie pennant. But all the team needs is additional strength in the pitching department to make it a real serious contender. What joy Grant, the wise showman, could cause in Boston by landing either by purchase or trade a pitcher that would practically make the team a dangerous Contender!

Miller's

Rumors that Al "Cozy" Dolan would be released by the Giants to make room for Johnny Evers as a lieutenant to John McGraw were set at rest when Secretary Jim Tierney of the club' recently announced the receipt of Dolan's signed contract for the season of 1922. Dolan joined the Giants at San Antonio last spring, following his release by the Cubs, and rendered no little aid to McGraw during the pennant campaign. That Dolan will be with the team again this year does not necessarily mean that Evers will not, though no intimation that the Trojan again will wear a New York uniform has been given by McGraw. With Dolan and Hughie Jennings in line there would seem to be no room for Evers, but he is too smart a baseball man to be allowed to remain loose, and if McGraw can find a place for him it is a certainty that he will do so.
