DANCE FLOOR ALLURING. The second floor contains the club rooms, a check room, a large dance and banquet floor and a fully equipped kitchen. The dance floor is specially alluring because ther,. is not a post or pillar to impede the dancers. It is constructed with a view ol homing membership dinners there at intervals. The third floor is given over entirely to the lodge rooms, which ace said to be among the most artistic in the city. A pipe organ occupies a loft In one end. The lodge room proper is 49x70 feet in dimensions. The intet >r is completely finished la pure mahogany. The charter was granted on May 24, 1921, and it was constituted on May 26, 1921. by Charles P.

TARIFF POLICY OF PRESIDENT CAUSES SPLIT Harding: Proposal Finds Little Favor, Even Among: Old Guard. WASHINGTON. Dec. 7.—Congress was split today on the tariff policy laid down in President Harding's message. Reaction against the President's scheme to give flexibility to the tariff was marked in nearly every group. With few exceptions, even among the old guard on the Flnan<-e Committee, the President’s proposal to confer large powers in tariff rate making on the tariff commission through the executive has not met with favor. Senator Simons of North Carolina, ranking Democrat on the Finance Committee, announced Harding’s tariff suggestions as • impracticable." Harding s proposal for a quasi-judicial tribunal, which apparently wonld be somewhat similar to the Kansas industrial court, has aroused strong opposition |jn labor circle*.

(Continued From Pnare One.) the data under which the pact ia effective under the trms of settlement. It is taken as a foregone conclusion that Kimonn De Valera, who has been known to the Sinn Fein a* "President of the Irish Republic/’ will head the new Irish government. Article I of the agreement provides for an Irish executive responsible to the Irish parliament, but whether he will be known as president or premier is Dot known. As in the case of Canada and Australia, there will be a representative of the Crown in' Ireland. He will till the position of British governor general, but it is not certain he will hold this title. The removal of British troops from Ireland will begin as soon as the Irish and British parliaments have approved the agreement. The Black and Tans, a semi-military body—will be withdrawn simultaneously. The hatred of the South Irish was directed against the Black and Tans more strongly than against the regular soldiers. PRESS HAILS SETTLEMENT AS GREAT ACHIEVEMENT. The gist of press comment follows: Daily News: ‘‘it is the most important event in the history of England and Ire laud. We hope the curtain has been rung down for the last time on this tragedy." Daily Mail: “It was well done. It meets with the grateful approval of the whole country." Dally Express: “It Is impossible to exaggerate the relief. The Irish F’ree State is now an accomplished fact. We emerge from darkness into light, still a united empire." News Letter (Belfast): “The terras re quire careful scrutiny. The proposal for a boundary commission cuts across a principle dear to the northern people.” F'reeman’s Journal (Dublin): "The terms show our leaders were worthy of the trust reposed within them by the Irish people. In the articles of settlement will be found every essential to that freedom for which the Irish people fought, for seven long and sorrowful centuries.’’ ULSTER HOLDS UP ACCEPTANCE BELFAST, Dec. 7.—Acceptance of the Irish peace treaty today wns deferred by Ulster until after Premier Sir James Craig confers with Lloyd George i London. Craig told the Ulster parliament he would defer announcing hl> views on the settlement and that after tomorrow's party conference be proposed to go to London to obtain elucidation of certain points. * DE VALERA CALLS CABINET DUBLIN, Dec. 7.—Eamonn de Valera today summoned the Sinn Fein cabinet to meet at noon tomorrow for consideration of the details of the Irish settlement. It is reported that the Sinn Fein plans to elect senators to lifelong tenure In office, while members of the House of Commons will be chosen every five years.

Harding Says Parley Shows War Fallacy WASHINGTON, Dec. 7.—The wisdom of nations settling differences by dis-cus.-don, without resort to war, is being demonstrated at the armament conference hpre. President Harding told a delegation of farmers in a brief talk at the White House today. lie saw a hopeful sign, he said, in ihe fact that munition makers are as much in favor of limitation of armaments as the farmers and predicted “very great results" from the meeting now going on.

‘OLD GUARD,’LED! BY PRESIDENT, | TO WIELD LASH Wavering Party Factions Must Be Whipped Back Into Line. WASHINGTON, Dec. 7.—Under the personal direction of President Harding, the 1 “old guard” in Congress aad members of the Cabinet have set out to smash the agricultural bloc. At recent conferences at the White House in which Senator Watson and Curtis and Secretary Weeks and other Cabinet members took part it was agreed that Republican safety in the next congressional campaign and in the congressional campaign depends on whipping all factions with the party in line. Hard- ; ing in his message to Congress yesterday gave notice that the bloc must go and that Republicans must obey their party lenders and accept the legislative program tlieir party stood back of. Cabinet members will follow up Harding’s lead in speeches in various parts of the country, assailing the farm bloc diredtly denouncing the legi-lation the bioe stan,ls for and telling the public that the welfare of the country depends on the abolition of ail such special groups in Congress. G. O. P. hostility to the bloc arises out of the fact that party control of Oongrees is menaced by the strength of the western southern farmers coalition. This coalition with a distinct program of leg lsiatiou proved in the special session of Congress that it could upset party control of both House and Senate.
