Max t-teuer. chief .defense counsel alao set forth that the two apartments on West 47th street, mentioned tn connection with the case had been rented by Illckard while ho was ar ranging the Deinpnoy-Willard fight in Toledo, to store his liquor, because he bjiw prohibition coming. Uickard, Steuer said, never had been in the suites In his life and had none to the apartment houses them- seltis only twice to ascertain from the Janitor that his callers were O. K. ltickard's counsel denied that the promoter ever had gone motoring with either Sarah or II -year-old Nel lie Gnsko, the coiTOboratlng witness for the prosecution.

Although Uickard never kept a diary, Steucr stated, be could always recall tne oust by looking at the record of events that had taken place at the Garden and with a glance at these records to refresh his memory, the promoter recalled that November 14 was no ordinary day in his life. Stcucr said he would show in the morning Uickard went to tho Oar den: that at 10:30 ho went to the Polo Grounds to watch the Durtmouth- Pennsylvania football game, aecom panted by his secretary and publicity inunagor and that there ho had ex changed comments with a newspaper snorting writer and "Hlg Hill" Ed wards, former Princeton gridiron star. . - That he had returned to tho Oar- den to prepare for a dance to take place there that night. That ho had returned home for dinner with Mrs. Uickard, as would bo proven by the testimony of a young woman who had been tho Uickards' week-end miest.

WASHINGTON, March 24. Pass ed by the bouse late yesterday by a vote of 255 to 70, the soldiers' bonus bill was made ready today for the senate. V hat would happen to it there was problematical, but house prononents proposed to use every ef fort to prevent It from being sclved as was the original bonus measure. In the long debate which preceded the final vote In the house, some speakers predicted that the senate would kill the bill while others appar ently were not over optimistic as to the chances of its passage in its pres ent form. Whatever Its ultimate fate. It ap peared fairly certain that the, bill would slumber for quite a while at the other end or the capitol where al ready the calendar Is congested with treaties and annual supply bills with the permanent tariff bill yet to be reported. There were those who believed that the senate finance committee, to which the bill would be referred in the natural course, would make sharp changes in It. Some adminis tration officers were known to look to the senate to pass a measure pro viding means for tho financing of the bonus, but they were not prepared to predict whether the means would he taxes or the use of foreign bonds, President Harding has been repre sented as looking with favor on the financing of the legislation with re funding bonds provided they were in hand before the bill was passed. Whllo the measure was in tho mak ing by the house ways and means committee, the executive, according to some members of that committee, suggested a delay of ninety days in the belief that the treasury would by then be tn possession of some of the British bonds.

LONDON. March 24. (By the As sociated f'ress.) The colonial offlrn innounacil this afternoon that owing to the gravity of event in Ireland the government had formally requested Premier Craig of Ulster and Michael Collins, head of the Irish provisional government, to come to London, with any colleagues they might choose In order that the government might ex amine with them every aspect of the situation. i ! . DUBLIN, March 24. (By the As sociated Press.) The "open threat of revolution" signified by the decis ion of the anti-free staters to hold the forbidden Irish republican army convention Sunday has "created a pre carious position, the London Tiaies correspondent here declared in a dis patch to his paper. , . - - ; The statement by Commandant Roderick O'Connor Wednesday that 80 per cent of the army's members are against the treaty, however, the correspondent believes to be exag gerated. He remarks that the eafl for the army convention was signed by only seven of the 19 commanders and that these mainly represent di visions in Cork, Kerry and South Tip perary. where disaffection was al ready known to exist. He believes that members of the army In Dublin, the midlands and a large part of the west are loyal to the Dall Klreann and can be trusted In any emergoncy, and further, that the country ls-not likely to regard any vote taken at Sunday's meet'ng as a criterion of the general temper of the army. No attempt ti prevent holding of the convention Is looked for on the part of . the army general headquarters. The Dall ministers believe the com ing elections wilt result tn a sweep ing victory for the treaty and there after they will be able to deal firmly with any anti-free state conspiracy. The meeting place of the army con vention has not been divulged. BELFAST. March 24. (By the As sociated Press.)
