Mildred Voth. the three-months-old
baby abducted last Wednesday from
!n /ront of a ?tore in West 126th

n!?ht in the lower hallway of 18 West

See station ?? detectives recognized

?Udcast on the night of her abduc
'?he parents. Mr. and Mrs. Julius
Voth. of 307 West 117th Street, were
notified by telephone and hurried to
<dse station in a taxicab. The mother,
?ho has been under the care of physi?
cians since her little daughter was
Jtolen, was crying with joy when she
once more clasped Mildred in her
?rma. There were tears in the father's
eyes, too.
Baby in Good Health
Mr. and Mrs. Voth were almost too
huppy to speak. Their anxiety over
the condition oi the baby's health soon
wsj latisfied. Mildred was the only
Member of the family who seemed to
Uke it as a matter- of course. She
Mi wrapped in the same white blanket,
the same spotless dress, shoes and
stockings, that she wore last Wednes?
day. Onlv the carriage was still mis?
sing and this, the police believe, prob?
ably was abandoned elsewhere.
Meanwhile at the Voth home, Mrs.
Elizabeth McN'ally, the baby's aunt,
woke up a dozen of her neighbors to
give Mildred a royal welcome when she
returned home.
"If the baby had not bene found."
she told reporters, "Mrs. Voth would
have gone out of her mind. Every
night she had Mildred's crib made up,
and she sat there by the hour, crying
silently. At 9 o'clock to-night, while
wtwere sitting- around the dining room
table, she suddenly left the room and
threw herself over the baby's bed, in
an outburst of grief adn despair. It
was heartbreaking."
Told Of Seeing Child
A few minutes later, Mrs. McNally
said, a well dressed woman came to the
Voth home and told a' long story about
seeing a,woman wheeling a baby car?
riage answering to the description of
the one stolen last week.
"She talked for nearly two hours,"
Mrs. McNally said. "She declared that
she saw the carriage on Fifth Avenue
from the top of a bus. She repeated
the 6tory over and over again and then,
shortly after 11 o'clock, she departed.
Five minutes later the police tele?
phoned that Mildred had been found."
Mrs. McNally said that the woman
Ota not give her name.
Mr. and Mrs. Voth when they re?
turned home with the baby were warm
?? greeted by their neighbors. Mil?
dred, who was very sleepy, was the
target of all eyes. She finally was put
to bed in the crib that had been kept
ready for her all the while.
The parents were warm in their
praise of Detectives John Dent and Ed?
ward Doyle, who have worked constant?
ly on the case since the abduction. The
officers caused to he put on every mo?
tion picture screen in the city a de?
scription of Mildred, and their activi?
ties are beheved by Mr. and Mrs. Voth
to nave led the kidnaper to return the
baby rather than face apprehension.
Gets Sympathy From Another *
The Voihs had passed a particularly
tryng day yesterday following- the :

three years ago, has never be'en heard

First Time in History
The battle between the Giants and the Yankees for the
baseball championship of the world will be broadcast over the
radiophone direct from the Polo Grounds, for the first timo
in the history of the national sport.
Beginning on Wednesday, the detailed story of each game,
play by play, will be told over the wireless by Grantland Rice,
The Tribune's nationally known sport expert.
Mr. Rice's voice will be radiated through the ether to the
greatest audience ever assembled, through the Westinghouse
Radio Corporation station, WJZ, at Newark, N. J. It will bo
picked up in the Polo Grounds by a specially designed micro?
phone and carried to Newark over two special wires set apart
by the Western Union Telegraph Company.
It is estimated that Mr. Rice's voice will be hea more
than a million and a half persons. The broadcasting will take
place on a 360-meter wave length and will cover the entire
Eastern section of the country.
In addition to this radio report, The Tribune has made
elaborate plans to cover the series from all angles. These are

Barred by U. S.
Immigration Officials Deny
Dancer Permission to
Land From Liner Paris;
Detain Companion Also
Citizenship Forfeited
"No Brass Band*Welcome,"
Is Her Comment; Mana?
ger to Appeal to Capital
"This isn't a California welcome, or
being met with a brass band," ex?
claimed Isadora Duncan, California
born dancer, here for the first time
since 1917, when she and her young
Russian husband, Serge Essenine, were
held and ordered to Ellis Island by
immigration inspectors who boarded
the ?steamship Paris es the vessel ar?
rived at Quarantine yesterday. Miss
Duncan forfeited her citizenship when
she married Essenine.
When Miss Duncan protested against
being held the immigration officials
said they had received an order from
Washington to detain the party, which,
besides Miss Duncan and her Russian
poet husband of eight months, consist?
ed of their secretary, Waldemar Wet
luguine, also a Russian author. No
such order was issued in Washington,
dispatches from the capital said last
night. The disturbed temperamental
dancer and her two companions were
consequently held in their de luxe
cabins on the big French liner to await
developments to-day.
At Quarantine Miss Duncan and her
husband were easily found among the
cabin passengers, for the dancer wore
a Russian blanket coat of brown,
trimmed at collar, sleeves and hem
with white angora. She was plainly
vexed by the verdict of the immigra?
tion officials, and said she did not ap?
preciate the gruff way in which he*
detention was ordered by the in?
spectors. The American Consul in
Paris, she said, had assured her that
the passports of the party had been
properly vised and that there would be
no trouble.
Issues Statement
Miss Duncan gave out a statement
which had been prepared before ar?
riving in port. After tho shock given
by the immigration officials Miss Dun?
can suggested that the first twelve
words might be eliminated and the last
few words deferred.
"Here we are on American territory.
Gratitude?that is our first thought.
We are the representatives of youne
Russia. We are v?ot mixing in political
questions. It is only in the field of art
that we are working. We believe the
soul of Russia and the soul of America
are about to understand each other.
"Wo are come to America with only
one idea?to tell of the Russian con?
science and to work for the rapproachc
ment of the two great countries. No
politics, no propaganda.
"After eight years of wars and revo?
lutions, a Chinese wall Is surrounding
Russia. Europe itself, torn by war,

erous gesture. Hoover, the popular j

Game Warden Shot and
Beaten by Men in Woods
Pair Club and Kick Officer at
Woodhaven, L. I.? Con?
dition Is Critical
While questioning two Italians whom
he suspected of shooting squirrels and
robins in Horstmann's Woods, Wood
haven, L. I., yesterday, William T.
Craemer, a state game warden, was
shot in the neck and then beaten into
unconsciousness.
He was ifiken to St. Mary's Hospital,
Jamaica, where it was said last night
that his condition is critical.
The woods are within the corporate
limits of Woodhaven and shooting is
banned under a city ordinance. When
Craemer saw the men he demanded
their names. He says th?y told him
thev were John Marino and son, An?
tonio, of 149 Wilson Avenue, Brooklyn.
The address later was found to be
fictitious. The game warden made n
note of the names and asked to see
the men's hunting licenses.
Thereupon, he saio, the pair clubbed
him with their guns. In the struggle
both ?hotjruns were discharged and
three of the shot entered Craemer's
neck at the base of the skull. Craemer
collapsed and was kicked in the back
and abdomen. After he was beaten

American Association to
Hold Preliminary Meet?
ings To-day and Conven?
tion Opens To-inorrow
Enthusiastic Over
Business Outlook
Reginald McKenna and
T. W. Lamont Among
the Speakers at Sessions
With thousands of representatives of
the nation's banking institutions In
the city and other thousands scheduled
to arrive during the day, preliminary
meetings of the forty-eighth annual
: convention of the American Bankers
Association will be held to-day. The
' general convention will open to-morrow
morning with Thomas B. McAdams,
president, in the chair.
Coming at a time when business
throughout the country gives evidence
of sustained recovery, the convention
will be of more than usual significance.
Domestic prosperity brings into sharp
relief disturbed conditions of Europe
and the seven thousand or more finan?
cial experts of the country will give
more than passing attention to inter?
national affairs in the week's sessions.
In this connection the addresses of
[the Rt. Hon. Reginald McKenna, chair?
man of the London Joint City and Mid?
land Bank, the largest banking institu?
tion in the world, and Thomas W. La?
mont, of J. P. Morgan & Co., one
of the world's foremost International
bankers, will bo of special interest.
Their words and the subsequent dis?
cussions will focus attention of the
financial community and the public on
questions of world-wide importance.
Whether or not the delegates give of?
ficial expression of opinion on the pro?
posed cancellation of war debts or simi?
lar problems, the convention will serve
to bring out full discussion of these
topics, which undoubtedly will prove
worth while.
Lamont to Strike Keynote
In preparation for the general con?
vention to-morrow, delegates will de?
vote to-day to sessions of committees
and divisions which aro to make re?
ports to the general body. Group meet?
ings are scheduled from & in the morn?
ing until ?) o'clock at night, and many
important topics will be discussed.
The convention will get fully under
way to-morrow, with Mr. Lamont's ad?
dress on "The American Banker's Re?
sponsibility To-day" as the principal
feature. This will be followed by Mr.
McAdams's address as'president.
In discussing t?e topics to come be?
fore the convention," Mr. McAdams
said: "Two outstanding problems per?
plex us?industrial controversy nnd
unrest at homo and international
financial difficulties abroad. In the
solution of these questions the. banker
has a distinct community position and
obligation as counselor and adviser to
the millions of people who have con?
fidence in hia judgment, integrity and
patriotism. To these; problems the
American Bankers' Association will ad?
dress itself with unmistakable vigor."
Mr. McAdams said this country was
in a sound financial position and could
look forward to increasing prosperity
in commerce and industry, "provided
carelessness nnd selfishness are not
allowed to undermine the stability of
our citizenship.''"
Anxiety Over Europe
Other bankers were enthusiastic over
business and industrial developments
in their communities and expressed the
opinion that a genuine, stabilized re?
covery might be expected in the year
ahead. A firm foundation has been
laid for better business in all lines,
they said.
Several called attention to the Euro?
pean situation, which at the moment is
causing anxiety in financial and indus?
trial circles.
"The European situation is, of course,
the barometer," said J. A. House, presi?
dent of the Guardian Savings and Trust
Company, Cleveland, "and American
business conditions can improve no
further nor any faster than the eco?
nomic problems of Europe will permit.
I have come to the conclusion that the
European problem is of such magni?
tude and so farre'aching in its results
that it is now the world's problem, and
the United States can no longer with?
hold its influence without suffering
more by its exclusion than by its par?
ticipation.
"Undoubtedly there is further liqui?
dation to take place," Mr. House con?
tinued, speaking of domestic affairs,
"especially with reference to labor cost
and material prices. I believe, how?
ever, that the demand of the country
for the next year is such that these ad?
justments will have to be deferred.
Wo have probably passed througn our
first flat spot in business following the
war and will experience an active mar?
ket at substantially present prices for
possibly two years."
M. A. Traylo:1, president of the First
Trust and Savings Bank, Chicago, also
dwelt on the importance of the Euro?
pean problem. "The trouble does not

Harington Likely To

Situation Complicated by
Necessity of Upholding
Prestige With Moslems
By Arthur S. Draper
From The Tribune's European Bureau
Copyright, 1022, New York Tribune Ino.
LONDON, Oct. 1/?After two Cabi?
net councils to-day at which considera?
tion was given to tho proposal by
Mustapha Kemal that preliminary con?
ferences be held on Tuesday at Mu
dania, on the Asia Minor coast, it was
intimated that the situation was re?
garded as distinctly easier. As the
French and Italians already have ac?
cepted Kemal's proposal, the British
were compelled to fall in lino or to
adopt ti position which might easily
be interpreted as hostile to an early
peaceful settlement.
General Harington will sit as the
British representative while General
Charpy and General Mombelli will act
for France and Italy respectively.
Kemal is in a position to lose noth?
ing but rather to strengthen the ad
j Vantages ho has already won.
Danger Point Eliminated
Another event which helped to dis?
sipate the war clouds was the decisior
of the Turks to leave tho question ol
evacuation of the whole neutral zon<
to the conference on Tuesday- Voni
zelos, tho former Greek Premier, caller
this afternoon and made an appoint
ment to see Lord Curzon to-morrow a;
tho representativo of the new Grcel
government.
In addition to the "Big Six" who at
tended the previous meetings of th<
Cabinet, there were present to-day Ad
mirai Bcatty. Labor Secretary Macna
marn, G?nerai ?renchard, chief of th(
air stalf, and General Cavan, chief o
the imperial general staff. A morninj
session lasting two hours was followe<
by one of similar duration in the after
noon. When the afternoon session ad
journed it was understood that still an
other would be held to-night.
To understand the position of th
British government it is necessary t<
take into consideration the question o
its prestige and responsibilities in thi
Mahometan world. These questions ar<
of far greater importance than thosi
arising out of the Greek ' militar;
debacle. They are even more impor
tant than the freedom of the Straits
which really is international rathe
than purely British.
British Prestige Waning
If Lloyd George had deliberately se
about to concoct a plot to embarras,
his government he could not have sue
ceeded quite so well as the fates ar
ranged it. The British prestige ha
fallen greatly in the Mahometai
world recently, its decline dating bac'
to the signing of the Treaty of Sevres
The British rule in the past was sue
cessful because it was based on fair
ness coupled with firmness. To-day th
sympathy of the Mahometans is nat
urally with Kemal, and obviously Lloy<
George would have been in a much hap
pier position if he had followed th
French policy and leaned toward th
Kemalists rather than backing th
Greeks in their campaign to overthro\
the Angora government.
The apparent error of judgment 01
the part of the British Premier ha
brought condemnation on every sid>
and his critics see no possible chanc
of his emerging from his present dif
Acuities unless he shows firmness evei
at the elevonth hour. The masses .O
the people are more interested ii
peace and reduced taxation than in th
prestige of Great Britain in the Ma
hometan world. They have no hatre<
against the Turks. A war in the Bal
kans does not excite their apprehen
sion, provided they are kept out of it.
Appeals to Public Futile
Following its sensational appeal t
the dominions for support in the im
pending Near East war the governmen
has tried many ways to retreat fror
its position. The fact that the posi
tion of Kemal has been described a
arrogant has excited no great amoun
of resentment nor has it stirred th'
ardor of tho masses for a fight.
There are other angles that make th
position of the government more diffi
cut?the Anglo-French relations an<
the new position of the Russians takei
since the success of the Turks. Th
French Premier has been successful il
?raining the approval of the people a
home, while Lloyd George inyariabl
has been on the unpopular side. Ii
short, the British government is nox
on the defensive and compelled to pla,

Londoners Hear Newark Radio
Concert?, font Not Sir Thomas
Another accomplishment was added
yesterday to the development of radio
when a musical program broadcast
from Newark was heard in London.
The following radiogram confirming
the success of the project was received
last night by the Radio Corporation of
America:
"Large crowd present to witness
radio test. Great interference from
ships' sparking. Heard your singing
and music. The test a great success.
Congratulations. SELFRIDGE."
Apparently those gathered in the
Selfridge department store in London
failed to hear the speech made to them
by Sir Thomas Lipton at the same
time. When Sir Thomas was informed
of this last night he agreed to try it
once more from the broadcasting sta?
tion WOR, maintained by1 L. Bam?
berger & Co., Newark,
"I will make Sir Harry Lauder come
with me one night this week," said the
English yachtsman. "I am going tr
keep on talking until Gordon Selfridge
hears me.
"TI1?3 test is typical of American
enterprise. It will make for a period
of still closer and more friendly rela?
tions between the United States and
the mother countries in Europe, espe?
cially between the two great English
speaking nations."
The feat was regarded as remarkable
because only one-half kilowatt power
was used. During the tests from Ar?
lington, Va., at the close of the war, 100
kilowatt power was used in establishing
telephonic communication across the
ocean. President Wilson, while aboari
the George Washington in the harbor
of Brest, France, received a telephone
message from his Cabinet at that time.
The program was broadcast at 1:10
a. m. yesterday and was received in
London at 6:10, Greenwich time.
Clamor for V. S. Intervention
Against Turk Amazes Harding
By Carter Field
WASHINGTON, Oct. l.?An ava?
lanche of demands that this country in?
tervene at once in tho Near East situ?
ation, and if necessary join Britain in
a war on Turkey, has dumfounded
President Harding and Sufre ta ry of
State Hughes.
The White House and State Depart?
ment have been literally swamped with
resolutions from all over the country,
and from some Americans abroad, in?
sisting that the Turks must bo checked
regardless of cost.
While practically all of tho Insist?
ence has come from church organiza?
tions, indignant at reports of massa?
cres of Armenians and tho danger to
their missionaries in that part of the
world, the volume of it far exceeds any
demand for strong action back in the
days when Germany was sinking un?
armed merchant ships.
While most of the resolutions
adopted and forwarded to Washington
merely insist upon forceful protection
of both Americans and Armenians, and
do,not'go so far as to admit the con?
sequences which might flow from such
protective measures, others look at the
situation more frankly ami assert that
?ach a war would be perfectly justified.
America already has eight destroy?
ers in Near Kastern waters. Twelve
more have been dispatched making a
total of twenty already under order?
to be at the scene of trouble. There is
no doubt from the tone of the propa?
ganda now flowing in that demands
will shortly bo made not only for more
shipB but for troops.
It is almost impossible to exaggerate
the tension in administrativo circles
here to-day as a result of this evidence
of tho desire of a considerable clement
of tho American people to go to war
if that is *he only way to hold the
Turks in check, together with the very
real danger of another world war open?
ing before diplomacy can smooth it out.
To-day's dispatches, it is felt here, have
merely postponed the danger of an ex?
plosion. They do not indicate in the
slightest degree that the explosion has
been averted.
If that explosion comes?if battle is
once drawn between the British and the
Turks?there is no disguising the fact
that a large element of this country
reaching net only Into every state but
into every Congressional district, wil

Thomas Mahoney, a probationary

i in front of 36 West 135th Street.
Mahoney drew his revolver and
flourished it In wavering circles which
imperiled onlookers in tenement house
windows fully as much as tho two ne?
groes whom he sought to frighten.
Nevertheless, his two tormentors took
to their heels, probably because they
saw Donahue and Clarence D. Con?
nelly, detectives well known in the
neighborhood, approaching.
Makoney, staring at the figures of
the approaching detectives, articulated
the single word "policeman," steadied
his revolver for an instant and fired.
The bullet struck Donahue, who fell,
drawing his revolver. Connelly opened
fire on Mahoney. Donahue managed
to shoot two or three times before
losing consciousness, and Patrolman
Edward Friel camo running up, firing
as he ran.
Mahoney continued to fire until his
revolver was empty, when he fell with f
five bullet wounds in his body, rolling
beneath the taxicab.
A negro employs a revolver as a fire j
alarm or call for the police, and while
the battle lasted pistols were popping
from a dozen houses.
When the shooting stopped a crowd
surged into the street, and it took the
reserves from the West 135th Street
police station several minutes to clear
the way for an ambulance, called from
Harlem Hospital.
Before the ambulanco could reach
the wounded men, Mahoney had been
laced in the taxicab beneath which
e had fallen and was on the way to
the hospital. Donahue was taken to
the hospital in another car, which had
been stopped by the police.
Neither of the wounded men had
rallied sufficiently last night to make
a statement. It was said that Dona?
hue showed some improvement, but
Mahoney's condition was such that he
might die any moment. One bullet en?
tered his left ear, another his lungs,
the third went through his right arm
and two more shattered the bones in
his left forearm.

Luis Flores showed his teeth at all
his parents' friends who called yester?

He has eight of them, four uppers i
and four lowers. Two upper teeth and l
two lower teeth are perfectly developed j
and capable of tearing into a beefsteak, j
The other four, however, are rudimen

John W. Pierce, Mrs. Flores's physician,
as oeing more like warts than teeth.
Dr. Pierce's was no disparaging char?
acterization, however. Ho is prouder
of the teeth than Luis is, or even his

to be born with eight teeth', he says.

Joseph Sarcidio, thirty-one years old,
of 252 Pine Street, Jersey City, was
drowned yesterday when he leaped
overboard from a gasoline launch in
the North River to rescue his wife, who
had fallen into tho water. Two other
passengers saved the life of Mrs. Sar?
cidio.
The launch carried forty-one passen?
gers, who'had gone out to greet rela?
tives and friends on the incoming Ital?
ian li'ier Giulio Cesare. As the smaller
boat was approaching the foot of West
??vi?ty-8>xth Street, Mrs. Sarcidio, who
was scanning the deck of the steamer
looking for her mother, lost her bal?
ance and fell overboard. Her husband,
who dived in after her, sank almost
immediately.
The rescue of Mrs. Sarcidio was
made by Casenio Vivaco, and John Hy
land, who kept her afloat until a life
preserver was thrown from the launch.
All three were dragged aboard and a
call for help was sounded by the boat's
captain. A police launch came along?
side and within a few minutes th* body
of the drowned man -.vus recovered?

PARIS, Oct. 1.?Premier Poincare re?
ceived to-night the first answer to the
Allied note addressed to Mustapha
Kemal from the Angora Foreign Min?
ister, Yussef Kemal. The answer asks a
meeting of the Allied generals on Octo?
ber 3 at Mudania to adjust all military
difficulties and also cai"i3 for the imme?
diate withdrawal of Greek troops from
Thrace, proposing instead the occupa?
tion of that territory by Allied troop?
until the end of the peace conference.
The note was immediately commun!-*
cated to London and Rome.
Up to England, Says Poincare
Commenting on the answer, Premier
Poincare said: "This means peace if
England is willing to usa a certain
amount of good will." The Premier is
satisfied with what he called the peace?
ful tone of the note and hopeful that
the Near East problem is in a fair way
of settlement. The question of war or
peace, in his view, is now up to Eng?
land.
Officials here say th-nt If Great Brit?
ain wants peace the note offers a way
to get out of the Chanak difficulties
gracefully. It. is r.nderstocd that Ismid
Pasha, the Kemalist military com?
mander, wiil represent Mustapha Kemal
if the Allies accept his proposal.
Lord Ilardinge, the British Ambassa?
dor in Paris, called on Premier Poin?
care this afternoon and told him that
