PERMANENT POLICY TO COMBAT IDLENESS GOVERNMENT PURPOSE (By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, Sept. 15 Inauguration of a permanent policy to combat unemployment throughout the country, in future years was said authoritatively today to be one of the purposes of the administration in assembling In Washington a national conference on unemployment. Primarily the organization is said to be anxious to meet immediate unemployment needs and avert any hardship from this source during the coming winter, but beyond the remedy of the moment It was asserted the administration would look to the conference to develop a constructive program which could be followed in the succeeding years. . Data Prepared Comprehensive statistical data, It was said, covering all phases of the problem is understood to have been prepared for the use of the conference by economic experts. This data it was said would give the latest authoritative information on the causes, places and times of unemployment in the country. On the basis of these facts it is believed the conference can take up quickly the problems of seasonal scarcity in the demand for labor, the localities most in need of assistance and the underlying reasons for the variations in the numbers of workers. Constructive and workable remedies to meet the situation in the different geographical divisions of the country and the various industries would be suggested by the conference after studying the unemployment question from all angles. DRY AGENTS ADMIT HEADS OF FAMILIES MAY MAKE UP WINE (By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, Sept. 15. Internal revenue bureau officials frankly acknowledged today that heads of families may upon filing of notification with local revenue collectors manufacture 200 gallons of wine yearly for home use. Treasury regulations making effective such a provision of the law were issued by internal revenue commissioner Rorer with the approval .of Secretary McAdoo in October, 1918, and because of the general lack of public knowledge respecting the provision congress never has enacted legislation nullifying it officials said. The law applies specifically to exemption from payment of tax, officials pointed out. but in its application makes manufacture of wine at home possible providing the manufacture is by the head of a family and the wine produced be not sold or otherwise removed from the place of manufacture.

Methodist Speaker Scores Silence Regarding Sex By Associated Press) LONDON, Sept. 15. Victor Murray, of the Primitive Methodist church, in addressing the World's Methodist conference here today, said "the conspiracy of silence regarding sex has created untold suffering." "Men and women are created for companionship." he declared, "and it is useless trying to hide from them the deepest things of life.

Ernest Yarrow, head of the American relief in Trans-Caucasia has telegraphed the American relief committee at Constantinople, according to a dispatch to the London Times, that epidemics threaten to destroy many of the hundreds of thousands of refugees who abandoned their homes during the Turkish invasion last autumn. They have no means of support, the Turks having looted the entire area whkh they occupied and destroyed 140 small towns and villages in order to prevent the peasants from sowing corn last spring. The death rate among the refugees says Dr. Yarrow, is very high, and cholera Is raging. The Armenian government, he continued, is in a difficult position owing to the Persian' government's refusal to permit the export of cereals. According to information from other sources, the Armenian government v ill accept any form of control of supplies if these can be sent by America to the western powers.

(By Associated Press) DUBLIN, Sept. 15. Eamonn DeValera in his reply to Lloyd George accepts the inyitation to the proposed Inverness conference in the terms of the final paragraph of Mr. Lloyd George's last letter but reaffirms Ireland's independence as a sovereign state and declares that only as representatives of such have the Irish negotiators any authority. Speculation regarding the particular phases of the situation at issue between Lloyd George and the Republican chieftains dwelt on a number of points, but there seem to be a general belief the condition laid down by the

prime minister that the Sinn Fein must abandon its demand lor separation from the empire was the most troublesome factors in the present admitted critical situation. The prime minister was said to have a basis for some of their objections to his offer of dominion status to Ireland as a basis for a settlement of the century-old controversy but he urged that these matters be brought to the conference table and there discussed. . Seemingly the "only hard and fast stipulation was that Ireland and the British empire must not be divided. Mission Important Arthur Griffith, Michael Collins, Robert C. Earton, Eamon J. Duggan and George Gavan Duffy, the delegates appointed yesterday to take part in the possible conferences with representatives of the British government, might, it was indicated, take the Sinn Fein reply to Inverness. There were many, however, who believed they might wait here until Prime Minister Lloyd George announced his acceptance of any terms the Sinn Feinn laid down preliminary to the conference. It was obvious, however, the mission that took Boland and McGrath to Gairloch on Monday was of great importance. Praises Sinn Fein. The Freeman's Journal says the Sinn Fein delegates to the conference with Premier Lloyd George "represent the courage and self-sacrifice as well as - the statesmanship of the Sinn Fein." "Their names." the newspaper continued, "are sufficient answer to the legend that the Sinn Fein leaders and the people's representatives are divided on the subject of an honorable peace. The people's confidence and hope go with them. Their task may have difficulties, but its successful accomplishment will be a crown of great achievement." INQUIRY ORDERED OF OIL BLAST, FIRE KILLING 11 WORKMEN PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 15 Investigation of the explosion and fire yesterday at the Point Breeze riant of the Atlantic refining company which resulted in the death of 11 workmen and the injury of a score of others, was ordered today by Director Cortelyou. of the department of public safety. Several of the injured are in a serious condition and additional deaths are expected momentarily by hospital physicians. , It was the second serious fire at the plant within a month. In the first blaze five persons lost their lives and damage to property was estimated at $1,500,000. The financial loss yesterday was comparatively small. - Yesterday's fire is believed by officials of the company to have been caused by a loose connection in one of the tubes leading from a naptha still to a nearby vat. The hot oil from this, it was said, came in contact with the flames from the furnaces beneath the stills and resulted in the explosion. Explains Procedure "There were 16 stills each equipped with a furnace for the heating of the oil from which is taken the naptha," said Edwin B. Cox. assistant treasurer. A connection in one of these stills through which the distilled fluid was passing, parted for some reason that has not been determined. This caused the fluid to run out in such a way that some if it reached the furnace at the bottom of the structure, and the explosion followed. About 30 men were employed at the time operating the stills. Those on the upp'er levels were caught in the tongues of flames and many of them had little chance. "Men on lower levels or at the other stills had some chance, despite the Intense heat and doubtless some of them might have escaped with less injury of they had fled instantly instead of standing courageously by their posts in an effort to do what they could to save others." Only one of the stills wa3 destroyed.

President Harding continued his yachting cruise today by coming from Southampton, Long Island, where he played golf yesterday, and going up the Hudson to West Point. With Mr3. Harding and friends he had a night trip the length of Long Island, on the ocean side, and an early morning view of the Statue of Liberty and the - skyline of Lower New York, which invariably delights tourists. Weather conditions were unsurpassed for observation. The Mayflower arrived at quarantine in time to see, the early morning assembly of vessels from foreign ports awaiting the opening of the Inspection station. A river pilot was taken aboard and the presidential party looked forward to the trip past the whole island of Manhattan, . with a view of Riverside Drive, the Palisades and Bear Mountain as eagerly honeymooners, with whom this trip is very popular. Will Review Cadets The president hoped to review the cadets this afternoon and then see if he could do better at golf than he did yesterday at Southampton, where he said: "Going I made eight holes in 42, then I blew." The president was invited to play with members of the senior golf association, now engaged in a tournament at Rye, N. Y., but In sending his regrets said: "I suppose I can't help qualifying as a senior, but I should like to meet up with your members and give them a demonstration that I am not yet venerable, and, like all the rest of you. have no intention of ever being aged.'. Attorney General Dangherty and George B. Christian, Jr., occupants of the Mayflower's sick bay, so to speak, were much better today. The excellent yachting weather contributed to Mr. Daugherty's recovery from a slight touch of ptomaine poisonine and enabled Mr. Christian the better to bear the stress of confinement from a fractured rib, due to a fall through a hatchway.

Withdraws Demand 'for Inclusion of Dispute in Agenda of Assembly of League of Nations.

INACTION IS CRITICIZED (By Associated T'reys) GENEVA, Sept. 15. Bolivia today withdrew her demand for the inclusion of her dispute with Chile in the agenda of the assembly of the league of nations. Experts will be given time in which to agree upon the question of the competency of the league to take up matters of this description. This action on the part of the Bolivian delegation was taken as' a result of new instructions from the La Fuz government President Van Karnbeek appointed Vittoric Scialoia of Italy, Manuel Peralta of Costa Rica and Senor Uritia of Colombia as experts to give an opinion on the competency of the assembly to discuss a revision of the treaty of 1904. They will render a re port at tee next meeting of that body. Criticizes Inaction. The debate in the assemhlv waa to. opened this forenoon by Delegate Aange 01 Norway, who severely criticised the inaptinn nf the niinil nn disarmament. The Washington conierence. He said, represented a most laudable initiative on the part of President Hardins but the int he understood, was that it should dis cuss naval armaments only. Public opinion, declared the Norwegian delecate. demanded that th league pass efforts to secure disarma ment on land, but instead of handling the Question from the standnnint nf the assembly as that body had indicatea its attitude, tne council, through the military commission of the league was dealing with it from the viewpoint of the military attaches. Thanks Assembly. Bishop Fannoli of Albania thanked the assembly on behalf of the Albanian people for admitting that country to the league. He joined the majority of the speakers who have addressed the assembly in demanding the widest publicity for the activities of the league and for the various questions brought before the assembly. Efforts to break the deadlock between the council of the league of nations and the assembly of the league over the elecrion of the fourth deputy judge of the international court of justice, were begun at the opening of today's sesion of the assembly. A conference committee was named to meet a similar body from the council and it was expected that the one remaining deputy judge to be chosen would be decided upon. System Explained The system adopted for the election of judges required that 11 judges and four deputies should be chosen separately and simultaneously by the assembly and council. Those chosen by both were to be declared elected, but provision was made that when there was a difference between the lists of the assembly and the council there must be further balloting. This is a situation which the conferees were charged to meet. WTien the first ballot was taken yesterday it was found that the leading nine names on the council and assembly lists had a majority, and these persons were declared elected. The balloting continued for the two other judges, Max Huber of Switzerland, and Dr. Alejandro Alvarez of Chile being chosen by the assembly, but not by the council. Didrik Galtrup. Gjedde Nyholm, of Denmark, and Baron Deucamps, of Belgium, were chosen by the council, but not by the assembly. The status of all four was that of unsuccessful candidates. The voting continued in both bodies, the assembly choosing Nyholm of the council list, and again voting heavily for Huber. Dr. Alvarez was therefore eliminated. The council again chose Nyholm, which brought about his election and accepted the assembly's choice of Huber in the place of Baron Deucamps. SENATOR NEW READY FOR RECEPTION HERE Harry s. New, United States senator from Indiana, accompanied by Mrs. New, arrived in Richmond late Thursday afternoon on their way to Washington after spending the last two weeks in Indiana.
