Lipton's Smile Fails to Cover Grief at Defeat ^^^^^^ 'Continued from page one) day for the Shamrock colors. At the : very critical moment in the race the; club topsail of Shamrock fluttered i momentarily in the teeth of a sudden I squal, and then came down. It was at ! this moment that she was actually ! overhauling Resolute, and practically i the very same second Resolute was ! compelled to come up in the wind with trouble in her staysails. Had the club topsail of Shamrock h?->ld she might have turned in a winner. Sir Thomas watched this anxiously, \ a puzzled expression written across the : lines in his face. He turned to his ad- : visers, but they, too, were apparently unable to explain, although theories were put forward later. This was the critical moment of the race, and Sir Thomas knew it. Later after the race was ended a ! crazy yawl with a small motor in it deliberately cut across the bows of the Victoria, while the latter was running full speed. It looked absolutely certain the yawl would be run down and the | guests aboard the Lipton yacht held their breath in tremulous expectation ' of the crash. The yawl cleared by less than a foot, ' while its occupants looked up and jeered at the Victoria. A few minutes later the same yawl tried to repeat the maneuver in front of a coast guard cutter, but at the critical moment; thought better of it and sheered off. ? This was the only bad incident in a' well policed course. Sir Thomas ordered his captain to \ steam into Sandy Hook Horseshoe Ray so that he could cheer the victorious ! Resolute and her crew. The Resolute was already moored to her buoy ..hen the Victoria arrive?!. Captain Adams was about to step into the launch along? side, when a thunderous cheer broke out on the Victoria. He stepped back on board the trim : white sloop and called out to his men, \ "Now, then, boys, three cheers for Shamrock! " Just before Sir Thomas began his customary session with the newspaper men, Commodore Aemilttls Jarvis, of ; the Royal Canadian Yacht Club, one | of the Irish baronet's advisers, ex- ; plained the dropping of the club top- : .-ail on Siu mrock in the following man? ner: "Captain Burton did exactly the cor r?ct tiling. A heavy squall was ap-i proaching. Ho probably figured to him- j self as fellows: 'I've got to allow Reso? lute seven minutes on the handicap and I simply won't be able to do it, as it standt now. Here's the squall j coming, I will douse my club topsail.' "Had the squall struck the two I yachts with full force, it would have torn the masts out of them with the j topsail up. Resolute, by keeping her3 j up, took this chance. If she had been struck, Burton would have walked away with the race, as he was then ; in a condition to meet the squall. Burton Took a Chance "Fortunately only the edge of the ; squall reachc'l the yachts, and it then ? petered out. Burton took the gambler's ; chance, and if it had come out he would have been the smartest man go- , ing. As it was he was unable to set, his club topsail again and was com- | pelled to use his working topsail in its place." The daily conversational tilt between Sir Thomas Lipton and Lord Dewar ; lacked much of its humorous character yesterday during the session with the ; reporters, and was almost serious j throughout. At the outset, however, j Lord Dewar hastened to make the fol- ? lowing statement: "The magnificent manner in which | the course has been policed and the j perfect arrangements and organization j for keeping the crowd back is a system j that is worthy of emulation in Europe. | I have never seen anything like it be- | fore. I admire particularly the manner! in which your navy has cooperated ? and the perfect work the dstroyers I have performed. "There is another sentiment I want to express and that is my admiration for the sporting instincts of the Ameri- '? can woman. It is remarkable to realize that they get up between 4 and 5 o'clock every morning and stay under | every inconvenience to watch these races, especially when they do not get home from the course until around midnight. "It is much more than we can say of European women. It is a long day for a man, let alone a woman. The sporting instinct of the American woman is surprising and admirable."; Sir Thomas hastened to add his own ; admiration to that of Lord Dewar. "I've raced many years in all parts of the world," he said, "but I've never been on any course that has been kept clearer than in these waters. There is no place In the world where the ar? rangements approach it. "I've never seen such a good course in England." Assuming a lighter vein, Sir Thomas said: "If I should be fortunate enough to win to-morrow oh! there'll be a jazz dance on board here alright." Then, turning to Lord Dewar. he added, with a twinkle in his eye: "And I positively know none of us will be ; sober, eh, Tom?" < Then, turning to Margaret Strick- ! land, the young Boston reporter, whom j he addressed a? "Boston," Sir Thomas J said: "Just before you go to sleep to? night, Boston, put in an extra word . for me. "You know, I am coming to Boston. : I'm going to stand for S< nator there. | I want to be in a position to forgive j them there for all that they did to my friends who were in the tea business." I _ Assuming a confidential tone, he then said: "There's a report current on board to-day that Lord Dewar is engaged to three women b"re." "1 know you boys won'*; say any? thing about it. Whisky Tom is worried '. about it though because he can't marry them all unless he goes to Utah." Breaking in, Lord Dewar said: "I've jus!, returned from Africa, where I have been living with the savages for some. time. There they pay eight cows for a wife, and if she j has no children within a year the hus band takes her back to her rather and j demands his cows back.'' "Don't you go to that, country,'' said ; Sir Thomas, looking at some of the! young women present. Sir John Ferguson, one of Sir Thomas's guests, who was present at the interview for the first time, then broke in and said: "I've known Sir Thomas Lipton for nearly a quarter of a century. He is a first class sportsman. He will fight to the finish and he will fight fair. He has never wished to take the slightest advantage of any one in a contest. He always wants to treat his opponent in j the same manner as he likes to be treated himself. "That's why he's as popular on the other side as it appears to me he is on this." George Kessler a Guest Among the guests aboard the Vic- ; torta yesterday was George Kessler, foreman of a coal hoist in Philadelphia, i Seventeen years ago Sir Thomas : bought a newspaper from Kessler, who ! was then a newsboy," tendered a dollar for it and eclined to accept the change.! Kessler bet the dollar on Shamrock III against Reliance, and lost. He was in- I vited aboard yesterday by Sir Thomas, j During the race the Irish baronet | posed for motion pictures with Kessler,. and then came over to the newspaper men and introduced him. "Here's a line young lad," he said. "He is the ] type I admire. He is Working hard to make good for the sake of his folks and himself, and he is gradually climb? ing the ladder. I like his type far bet- j ter than any blue-blooded snob." ? Two other interesting guests yester- | day were Uunice and Agnes, two ! daughters of John ("Honey Fits") Fitz- | gerald, former Mayor of Boston. Their ! father was run over recently by a | motor truck while saving some women j and children, lie was knocked unco.;- ' scious, and his first words on recovery in the hospital were*. "That's too bad; now I'll miss Lipton's races." Sir Thomas met Mr. Fitzgerald some years ago at ("owes during a regatta there. Describing the incident yester? day Sir Thomas said: "I had a num? ber of American guests aboard my yacht Erin at the time. My captain came to me and said: 'Sir Thomas, the royal bargo has just left the pier and is headed this way. It looks as though ; his Majesty is coming aboard the Erin. I "I told my guests and the ladies j crowded around me and asked how they j should meet the King. The men asked j me what they should say. I showed the ladies how to curtsey. Then they all went below and put on their very ! best clothes. My cantain put on his ! best uniforrwwith the shiniest buttons, j Confiscated King's Launch "Presently the royal barge drew up alongside, and out stepped?not the King, but Maylor Fitzgerald of Bos-; ton. "Afterward he told me that he heard I wan at Cowes and having some spare time decided to come and see me. He said he walked along the shore looking for my launch, but decided that none were good enough for mine. When he found the best looking one, he decided it was mine and stepped in, directing the crew to take him over to Sir; Thomas Lipton aboard the Erin. "The crew, seeing him walk straight up the royal pier to the launch, nat? urally thought he had received permis-I sion from the King. Later told the i King about the incident and he laughed heartily at it. 'None but an American could do that,' he said." There was a record number of guests aboard the Victoria yesterday. Aside from thi' it was apparently a more uneventful day than any previous one during the races. There was a little gloom at starting time, when a thick tog settled about tiie lightship. This quickly cleared and the fifteen-I minute signal was set. When the start- j ing whistle sounded, Shamrock passed over the line in the windward berth, and there was great joy aboard the ' Victoria. This was shortlived, how-1 ever, as Shamrock immediately ran into ! an air pocket and rested momentarily ? becalmed. Resolute was more fortunate and quickly gained the weather berth ; after a short tack. This was the be- | ginning cf Shamrock's ill-luck that per- j sisted throughout the race. Steamer Cabrille Aground _.________ ^?C ATLANTIC CITY, July 23.?When the fog lifted, about f> p. m. to-day, the j United States Shipping Board steam? ship Cabrille, bound from Mexican | ports to Bayonne, N. J., was discovered I htrrd and fast aground, about four miles J off Brigantine. The vessel had been there since S a. in., but had sent up no distress' signals, except to summon a tug from New York by wireless. A boat was ; sent out from the Coast Guard station; as soon as her plight was discovered, : and returned ?.vith tr>e information that ! the ship was in no danger and prob- j ably would be hauled off at high tide , about 2 a. m, to-morrow. 1 _ The Cabrille is 891 feet long and of | 5,030 tons displacement. Poland Sends Peace Offer To Bolsheviki (Continued from puge ont) cussed at the conference, it is under? stood, but nothing specitic was agreed upon. Whatever action the United States decides to take, it was said, will be independent of action on the part of Great Britain and France. Although plans for furnishing ma terial assistance were touched upon, Prince Lubomirski made no formal ap- : peal for such aid. The question of neutrality toward! Russia will not interfere seriously! with the carrying out of the American! government plans, it was explained. Attention was called to the fact that ! American troops were sent to Russia | to fight Bolshevism Without consider- ! ing tiie question of neutrality and that i American support of Poland in the ; war would conform with this nation's : well known opposition to Bolshevism. The prince discussed the possibility of the United States giving Poland credit for supplies and of hnving the i United States dispose of surplus mili tary supplies outright to Poland. If any financial aid is rendered Po? land by the United States it will be ; from private banking sources, it was '? made clear at the State Department. No specific request has been made nor has any movement been started to se- I cure banking credit for Poland in the i United States, it was said. An at- ? tempt to float a loan of $50,000,000 for ; Poland is now under way in this coun- ! try, but the extension of credits dis- ; cussed to-day would be in addition to the funds raised through the sale of: bond?. The United States could furnish large ? quantities of munitions from its sur- ? plus, it. was said, and some arrange ment to turn these supplies over to j Poland on credit or on some plan financed by private bankers will be , discussed more thoroughly during the : next few days. British Disturbed By Poland's Crisis LONDON, July 23 ? By The .-.ssociated Press i.?The British public is "tlis turbed by the possibility confronting it that the Allies may be compelled to eater another European war to save Poland. This position was made plain by Premier Lloyd George's . speech in the House of Commons Wednesday, : and all the newspapers are speculating ; upon it. Heretofore the impression has benn that England's part if Poland were faced with invasion by the Bolsheviki, j as it now appears to be faced, would ; bo. limited to furnishing munitions. Lloyd George's statement that Great Britain is bound to give every assist ance in her power to save Poland and j that he may be compelled "to place the whole position before Parliament," however, is interpreted to mean much more than that. Almost all the newspapers support the Premier, although there is much recrimination over the policios which have brought the destinies of Poland to this pass. The general argument is that an independent Poland is neces? sary for the safety of Europe under present conditions, and that the Allies cannot afford the risk of letting the Bolshevik frontiers join those of Ger? many. Virtually the only opposition to the Premier- although it is important op? position?comes from the Labor party. That party criticizes the Premier for advocating strong measures to stop the war when the Bolshevikii are winning, arguing that he should have used his ; power to prevent Poland waging war against the Bolsheviki. This new crisis is unpopular, even if, as appears, it is unescapable, judging from the tone of the newspapers, main? ly because it may involve the ex? penditure of more lives ami because the country had come, according to general belief, about to the limit of : bearable taxation, the chief political issue recently having been a growing and organized demand for the reduc? tion of the government's expenditures. ; Emphasis is laid on the danger to the peace of all Europe by most of the newspapers, and the anti-Bolshevik papers see in the Soviet army's ad- ; vanee a determination to destroy Po hind. nAother fear expressed is that if the Bolsheviki reach th:- eastern frontier of Germany victoriously a Spartaeist or Monarchist rising there would be inevitable, either of which, they say, would be equally fatal to the reconstruction of Europe. /?-/?urn The Tribunes European Bureau right, 1320. New York Tribune Inc. LONDON, July T.I.- Lloyd George can find little support from the press for any British military contribution tc Polan 1. With few exceptions, the newspapers are inclined to blame the . Poles for the present situation but are, nevertheless, agreed that it is neces sary for the Allies to get them out of the" mes*. The difference in opinion comes on the methods to be used. '?The Globe" says: "We are in no ? condition to engage in another strug gle. We have neither the men or ; money for it and wo are very much in doubt whether public opinion would j stand it." Most newspapers are quick to real ize that Germany has declared her ; neutrality between Russia and Poland I and before troops could be sent across| Germany it would be necessary to ob tain her consent. "The Evening Stand? ard" asks a ?eries of questions and then say.s: "It is absolutely essential that the country should be behind tho government and the country cannot support the government unless it has a firm grasp on matter:; at issue." NorthclifTe's "Evening Ncw3 " de? clares: "The present trouble is largely i due to our own vacillating government in the past." It is non-committal re : garding the size of Britain's contribu i tion to Poland. Under the heading, "Another War to the End," it says: | "From the debate concerning Poland no sound reason emerged why we should go to war with Russia." This paper condemns Poland on the ground that it is swollen with military pride. " The Westminster Gazette " al30 ! offers a protest, though in milder ; tones. The provincial newspapers show no desire to rush into war to aid Poland, and "The Manchester Guar? dian" says that Britain must treat the Soviet government as it would any other and address its communication; "solely to the nb'pct <?f securing peace in Russia and Poland." James O'Grady, M. P., who is th< actual dictator of the Labor party's for eign policy, said to-day: "Labor won't support war against Russia. Polant must consider herself beaten and ente: upon peace negotiations. Any such nev war would cause a revolution in Franc and England, for the Soviet governmen has declared its desire to be at pcac. with Poland. The British have sent : strong note to the Polish governmen urging it to ask for an armistice." Bolshevik Attacks Checked by Poles Onslaughts Are Repella Along Entire Frontier j Try to Retake Grodn WARSAW, July 21 (By The Asso? ciated Press i. -Uncertainty to-day marked Poland's military situation, af though it was announced the Bolshevik onslaught on the extreme right and left wings of the front had been checked at least temporarily and that the Poles were fighting determinedly. At the center of the front the Bol? sheviks were pounding against the former Russo-German positions, of which the Polish forces have taken ad? vantage at various points in Polesia, norh and south of Rinsk, with every indication that the Poles would be able to hold the line unless additional Rol sheiks were brought up in overwhelm? ing numbers, The^ Poles have counter-attacked in an effort to retake Grodno, an official communique says to-day. The Bol? shevik advance against the Polish ex? treme left apparently has been checked, the statement adds, but to the east, in the region of Slonim (seventy-two miles southeast of Grodno); the Reds have progressed. Along ahe River Zbrucz the Poles were holding the Bolshevik offensive, which was designed to sweep aero.-.; the Galician frontier and toward the battle scarred lie-Ids and valleys leading to Lemberg, one of the neu* republic's chief towns. It was announced the Bol? sheviki who forced the Zbrucz north of Kamenets Podolsk consisted of only a* small detachment and that, waile they persisted in their onslaught, the Poles repelled attacks along the entire fron? tier. Kamenets Podolsk, which was de? fended by Ukrainians, is in Bolshevik hands. Along the Styr River the Reds were retarded and the Polish cavalry out maneuvered cavalry of General Bu denny. which threatened the Polish infantry. With the Poles fighting on their own grounds in the south, it was said the situation showed improvement over yesterday. The Bolshevik offensive on the south? ern front is designed to break the Polish defense on the Galician frontier, where the oPles are fighting with all their avalablc men a.nd materials. In this fighting the Bolshevik General Budenny's cavalry is taking a leading part, reinforced by artillery and in? fantry. The Bolshevik forces are driving to? ward Lemberg, which is their objec? tive, from the regio nof Brody, north? east of Lemberg, and in a thrust just north of Kamenetz-Podolsk (southeast of Lemberg). where the Reds forced the bru%cz River, carrying the fighting into Poland for the first time. The Bolsheviki have launched re? peated attacks along the frontier near Brody, where the railroad leads direct to Lemberg. Here many of the citizens have refused to leave the territory and are taking up arms again, as they did last. year, when Lemberg was wrested from the Ukrainians. American.- returning from the front say there will be a finish fight before Lemberg falls. Bolshevik invasion Held Issue for League Action Special Cable to The Tribuna Copyright, 1320. New York Tribune Inc. PARIS, July 23.?The French press is proclaiming that the Bolshevik in? vasion of Poland amounts to the casus f?deris provided for in the covenant I and that all members o* the League of Nations are bound to do their duty. This question will be considered by a special meeting of the Teague which has been called at San Sebastian. The French press also emphasizes Lloyd George's warning of the ?treat temptation that the Bolshevik advance offers to Germany of becoming Bol? shevik. The "Intransgeant" points out that the Bolshevik "plan of envel? opment from the north" is the same as the one employed by Germany against France. Foreign Stocks Affected By Russo-Polish Situation Pronounced weakness in most of the foreign exchanges and a decline in the stock market yesterday were attributed to news from Europe regarding the Russian-Polish situation. The break ' in the exchanges was quite precipitate, with sterling leading with a fall of more than 3 cents in the pound to the lowest level since April. At the Stock Exchange the so-called international issues were under special pressure, moving in sympathy with the London market trend, where, according to private cables received in the finan? cial district, there was much selling of investment securities. In this market Royal Dutch, Shell Transport and Trail? ing and Canadian Pacific, which are traded in on both sides of the water, displayed special weakness. Germans Ask to Reinforce Troops in East Prussia PARIS, July 23.?The German peace delegation here has asked the Supreme Council for authorization to reinforce the troops in Eastern Prussia with volunteers and to occupy Marienwerd? er and Allenstein, where the recent plebiscites gave a large majority in favor of German sovereignty. The Germans say that more troops are necessary to ?defend the frontier against eventual incursions by the Bol- ! sheviki. Says Russia W ill Keep Troops Out of Germany BERLIN. July 23.?In no circum? stances will Russian troops cross the ; German frontier, Victor Kopp, Soviet j representative in Berlin, said to-day to a representative of the "Tageblatt." He added that Russia desired economic i intercourse with Germany and must therefore live in peace with her. j TlFFANY&GO.

The majority of the city's Sinn F?in population re 1 mained indoors. Fear Families May Go Hungry The condition of the 10,000 Catholics who have been driven from work by the present outbreaks has become serious. Their families will soon be I going hungry unless quiet is entirely : restored within a few days and the ' breadwinner:-, allowed to go back to ; work. It is feared the trouble may spread to outside districts, in many of which the anti-Sinn Fein feeling is running high. There were evidences of such outbreaks in nearby towns. In one place Nationalists attempting to work were beaten and one man was badly ; injured when thrown into a dry dock. ; At the little village of Leap, near Skibberern, a serious disturbance broke 1 out between the police and civilian* at ; the town hall. The building was | bombed and destroyed. At a meeting of magistrates in Bel? fast to-day it. was decided to form , a civilian guard to assist the military | to maintain order. Prisoners Sert to England BELFAST, July 2:; (By The Asso? ciated Press).?Sixteen Sinn Feiners arrested here Sunday were removed ; last night to England. Thirty or forty prisoners remanded on looting charges are still in jail lure. It is expected : that this number will be largely in , creased. The following announcement, which | is regarded as significant, was issued j from Lister headquaters in the old i Town Hal! here to-day: "Lieutenant Colonel Spender, D. S. O., who formerly ?.vas connected with the Lister Volunteer force as chief . staff officer, has assumed-the command ! of that body. All loyalists should re ' port to their respective battalions." There were renewed outbreaks last I night at Banbridge, about twenty-one , miles southwest of Belfast, where ? Unionists who were parading were j suddenly fired on near a furnishing : store. A youth named Sterritt, fifteen years old, was killed and four others wounded. Many Shots Fired So many shots were fired the belief was raised that there was a nest of Sinn F?iners in the building and when a detachment of troops from Newry approached with fixed bayonets they ? also were fired upon. The troops re ! turned the tire, forced an entry into ; the store and arrested two of its , occupants. About 2 o'clock this morning Caltra, near Ballinasloe, was visited by police and military, who wrecked many | houses in town, including the Sinn F?in hall, which was burned to cries of "Up Tuam," according to a message from The Press Association's corre? spondent in Ballinasloe to-day. There was much shooting, but no loss of life is reported. The slogan, "Up Tuam," evidently refers to Sunday night's incident when Tuam was sacked, the sacking being charged against the police as a re? prisal for the murder of two constables by a mob. LONDON, July 23. A dispatch to the (entrai News from Belfast says that in the rioting on the Newtonards Road to-night the police clubbed the crowd and the soldiers fired four vol? leys. It adds that a number of persons wore injured. The clash followed an attempt by a mob to spt fire to a convent. Inter? mittent firing continued in the neigh? borhood when the dispatch was filed. La bor 's A id Sough t In Irish Turmoil LONDON, July 23.?-Premier Lloyd George told a deputation of the Parlia? mentary committee of the Trades Union Congress Thursday that he was as anxious as any man to see the Irish question settled on a basis acceptable! to the majority of the Irish people. Mr. Lloyd George declared the gov? ernment was not afraid to accept a: truce, but that it could not permit, overt outrages and murders. It was prepared, he said, to go a long way to letting Ireland manage her own af fairs if the necessary assurance was forthcoming. The Premier suggested that labor ! could use its influence to obtain a set? tlement. Sir Hamar Greenwood, Chief Secre? tary for Ireland, sneaking in the House of Commons to-night, said: "I regret to have to say that Parlia? ment and the kingdom must brace it? self to face a bitter period in Irish his? tory, as there will be a determined, or When it's too hot to eat?d rink cooling, nourishing Knickerbocker Aid Break a large egg into a large glass, and add the juice of a large lemon ; sweeten to taste, add half a glass of water, shake with plenty o? crushed Knickerbocker Ice until the ingredients are well mixed.

"The attempt to form a republic in Ireland will not be abandoned without ; a struggle, but it can be defeated by united determination of all parties and ail creeds resolutely to oppose savage methods and reserve their natural right to decide as to the ultimate and best government for Ireland. "There never was a time when the Irish executive, the British. Cabinet and the House of Commons were more de? sirous of settling this age-long Irish question, and we are ready to welcome representations from every quarter as to the best method of solution." Says British Are Beaten Sir Hamar said he would have to ask the House to pass certain legislative measures to meet the situation, among them one to create a tribunal supersed 1 ding civil courts, which had failed to I function during the recent assizes, and another empowering the Lord Lieuten ; ant of Ireland to establish a tribunal to deal quickly with all criminal offences ; committed in Ireland. "Pending these measures," the Sec | retary asserted, "any decision of a ! Sinn F?in court or any transfer of ! title under such decision is illegal and ? will be upset as soon as possible." Sir Edward Carson, the Ulster Union ' is-, leader, after declaring that "in j three-uuarters of Ireland the British I government has been entirely beaten," ] said: "There are only two courses open I for solution either surrender to the !

New York Tribune? Inc. LONDON, July 2'1. ?L?se majest?" j is not considered a capital crime within i the jurisdiction of the Irish Republic. Even Great Britain's royal family is i not exempt from the machinations of i the Sinn Fein's extraordinary secret service. Prince Henry had decided to visit Dublin this week. He was to have gone 'in strictest incognito, traveling under the name of "Mr. Adamson" and ac 1 eorepanied by only one member of the | royal household. His royal highness , intended to stay a week in Ireland, at hoteis in different parts of the coun? try. The intended visit naturally has ' been kept a strict secret and could not have been known apparently to more ! than half a dozen members of the royal | household. j But last Wednesday Prince Henry received a notice from the "executives ? of the Irish Republic" that his inten? tion to visit Ireland was known to them and informing him that if he desired to come to Ireland as Prince Henry no*harm would happen to him, but if he visited the country incognito hi would in all probability be detai i i !? nger than he desired. Whereupon the prince postponed his visit. Sinn Fein's secret service recently di scovered the key to the royal tele : ^iaph code i used by members of tiie ? rcyal family in sending messages on | family affairs to one another) and sent a message to the King while he was'in j Scotland in this code, asking his maj? esty to have the army removed irom Ireland. These evidences that there is prac? tically no limit to the powers an?d the i extent of the Sinn F?iners' secret serv? ice is said to be causing uneasiness | to the royal entourage, although nc | threat sf any kind has been made against the King. The detective staff at the palace has been doubled and si> detectives, instead of two, now accom? pany the King when he is traveling. -.-9 Machine Guns Guard Negro SPRINGFIELD, Ky., July 23.?State troops to-day surrounded the Washing? ton county court house and machine gun squads were posted at points oi vantage to protect Robert Logan, negro eighteen years old, who is on triai charged with the murder of Joe Cal? vin, a young white man, here las!
