LONDON, Sept. 15.—The arrangements for the proposed Irish peace
conference are canceled, negotiations still are not
That, in brief, is the story of today’s unexpected and surpising develope-
ments.
Eamon DeValera, the Irish republican leader, having reaffirmed his claim to enter the conference as the representative of an independent sovereign state, . Premier Lloyd George declared that such admission is impossible. He announces the can cellation of the arrangements for a conference and the necessity of his consulting his colleagues on the sub-
ject.
The premier is careful not to close ,
the door to possible resumption of earth 18 ende< L and she has ROne the negotiations. On the contrary, he ‘ ^ onie t " her Sa ' dou i r and God ‘
Farewell dear Mother, we can do no
more,
gives Dr. DeValera and his supporters the amplest time and opportunity to reconsider their position; he describes himself even as "laid up” at Gairloch, necessitating a few days delay, and the fact that he is suffering from a chill was confirmed at his official residence in Downing street tonight. It was also announced that it would be necessary for the premier to remain indoors for a few days.
Reproaches Irish People
Declaring that there was only one answer to a claim which would be equivalent to Great Britain’s acknowl edging Ireland’s right to negotiate a treaty of closer relations with “some other foreign power,” he mildly reproaches the Irish people for taking no single step to meet the generous advances of the British government. The whole tone of the letter In fact, reveals that the premier still re tains hope of some more favorable develonement. Incidentally, the premier's letter clears up the mystifying events of the last few days showing that Mr. DeValera’s reply w’as taken by McGrath and Boland to Gairloch, but that the premier tried unsuccessfully to persuade modification of its tenor and offered to regard it as not having been delivered. The fact that Mr. DeValera and his colleagues failed to take advantage of this offer is considered an adverse factor and lends a serious as-
pect to the situation. Further Delay Seen
The prospect is still that there will be no move now from either side for a few' days. It is noteworthy that in the final exchanges the traditional diplomatic methods of sending notes bv courier were dropped in favor of the more expeditious telegraph lines.
For thee on life’s dark main, But we hope to reach that heavenly shore And then we’ll meet again. Her sins and sorrows, strifes and fears, She has bid them all Good Bye, Beyond where starlight fades in night She has a home on high. A Mansion there, not made wdth hands, A place prepared for thee, And while God liv^s and Angels sing, That “home” her “home” shall be.
LEGION BOYS GIVEN BIG SURPRISE FEED —o The members of the local post of the American Legion were given a sur prize last Thursday evening when they went to their hall to atend their regular weekly meeting. The members of the auxilliary had gone to the hall with well filled baskets and had spread aU the good eats on tables and it was a grand sight which greeted the boys when they ar rived. All kinds of cakes, pies and sandwiches, pickles, fruits and many other good things to eat were brought by the girls. The legion boys are sure strong for the girls and they say that the girls sure do know how to fix good things to eat.
NORTH DETOUR IS REPORTED BETTER ■ o Those who make the motor .trip to Terre Haute report that the detour to the south as marked by the State Highway Commission near Glenn, while a bridge is being built on the National Road, is not so good as a detour to the north. By turning north at the Thompson country home the traveler goes north to the Maple avenue road and thence into 25th St., Terre Haute, a concrete highway and connecting again with Wabash avenue. This detour has two railroad crossings which must be carefully watched.

EVANSVILLE, Ind., Sept. 15.— Alphonse Schearer, cashier of the Tell City National Bank at Tell City, Ind., has disappeared and $21,000 worth of Liberty bonds are missing Vfrom safety boxes in the bank. Schearer left Tell City, August 21, ostensibly for Louisville, telling his friends and relatives that he would re turn in a short time. It was learned later that, after crossing the Ohio river at Hawesville, Ky., he took a westbound train instead of the east bound train, which would have taken him to Louisville. Nothing, however, was thought of it until several days had elapsed, when Robert Schearer, brother of the missing man started an investigation, as he feared his brother had met with foul play Found Records Correct Officials of the bank went over the books but found nothing wrong in the records and consoled themselves in the belief that Schearer would return in a short time. Finally the bank officials decided to look in the safety boxes where their government bonds and other valuable papers were kept. They discovered that bonds to the value of $21,000 had disappeared. Eugene H. Gough of Boonville, Ind., a national hank examiner, made a thorough examination of the records of the bank and found that the bonds were the only thing missing. All tbs currency was accounted for. The bank is fully covered by insui ance with the American Security Company through the company’s offi-

SANE RANCISCO, Cal., Sept. 16. —With the announcement today that Roscoe C. (Fatty) Arbuekle, motion picture comedian, would be prosecuted on a charge of murder in connection with the death of Miss Virginia Rappe, actress following a Labor Day party in the actor’s hotel rooms here, both prosecution and defense squared away to arrange for the trial the first chapter of which will be written next Thursday, when it is expected the prisoner will be given his preliminary examination At the office of the district attorney it was said thaC in case Arbuekle is held to answer to the Superior court on the murder charge when he appears in Police court Thursday, the manslaughter charge automatically will be cast aside by the prosecution. If the Police court failed to hold him on the murder charge the manslaughter charge would be press-
ed.
When District attorney Matthew Brady in the court of Police Judge Sylvain J. Lazarus announced that “the people ar<» ready to proceed on the murder charge,” he blasted hop. es of the defense that Arbuekle would now be at liberty on $5,000 bond set by the court when a grand jury indictment charging manslaughter was returned. It was indicated that the prosecutor’s decision to go to trial ou the murder charge was a surprise to the" defense. From Los Angeles came the report that Arbuekle had alreadymade train reservations for a trip from San Francisco to that city. Murder is not a bailable charge in California. Backed by County Board District Attorney Brady has the j support of the board of county supervisors in his prosecuton of Arbuekle, it was shown when the finance committee of that bodv appro priated $1,000 for immediate expenses of the trial and promised more when needed. The finance committee told Mr. Brady the $1,000 allowed was in addition to his regular budget allowance. “We will be under great expense,” Mr. B*ady explained. “The defendant is reputed to be wealthy and there will be a great deal of money spent [in defending him. If we do not get sufficient funds we may meet with disaster.
Who is Marcus Bass? Judge Hughes knows and two Indianapolis attorneys—to their sorrowknow, while Marcus admits that as a Dr. Jeckyl and Mr. flyde he is an absolute failure. Marcus, together with William Gibbs and Lillian Bradshaw, Indianapolis negroes, were before Judge Hughes on September 5 following the arrest of the negroes, after a running fight in which the Sheriff and his deputies filled the back of their car full of bullet holes. They were charged with illegally transporting liquor. William Gibbs assumed all the responsibility of the illegal liquor traffic. He said he had been hired by an Indianapolis man to get the liquor and that he had hired the auto of Marcus Bass, father of the man who was with him, and that Marcus Bass, Sr., had nothing to do with the liquor deal. Gibbs also said that Marcus Bass, Jr. and Lillian Bradshay, had not gone to Clinton to get the white mule, but that he had gone to Tere“ Haute to get them after he had loaded up the white mule. On this testimony Judge Hughes fined Marcus Bass and Lillian Bradshaw $100 each and fined William Gibbs $100 and sen' 1 im to the stat>
farm.
Happy in his release Marcus returned to his Indiana Ave haunts. He also began to scheme to regain his Buick car which was in the hands of Sheriff Sears. Going to an Indianapolis law firm he represented himself as the father of Marcus Bass, the man who had been arrested and told them how he had rented his car to Gibbs and of confiscation of the car. Then he retained them to come here Saturday to appear before Judge Hughes and claim ownership of the car for Marcus Bass, Sr. —When the case was called by the Judge on Saturday morning, two young attorneys from Indianapolis, stated that they represented Marcus Bass, owner of the car. “Why that’s the name of the negro arrested here” said the judge. v “Oh Yes, said the attorneys, it is the same name but the owner of the car is the father of the man arrested The judge then asked if Mr. Bass, Sr., was here and was informed that he was. The attorneys then said that Bass had said that he did not care to appear in the courtroom but volunteered to go and bring him in. The attorneys had some difficulty in persuading the negro to accompany them to the court room but finally they succeeded. Marcus came shuffling into the room and confronted the Judge. Immediately he was recognized as the negro who had been fined. His Dr. Jeckyl and *>Ir. Hyde stunt had

astonished. They had been duped by Marcus into believeing that he was the father of the Marcus arrested
here.
Marcus was trying to put one over. But he failed. Judge Hughes immediately had him placed under arrest. And then he told Marcus a story. A story of how William Gibbs, who had been sent to the farm had told William Glidewell, a state farm guard, the story of the trip to Clinton. Marcus Bass who cannot drive an auto well had hired Gibbs to drive him to Clinton and had himself bought the White Mule. After they were arrested Bass realized that G.bbs as driver would be sure to be punished, so he persuaded Gibbs to assume all responsibility and promised to pay him $25 a week for every week he ha( , tQ stay on ^ ^ Gibb, proved true blue and took all the blame.
