IRISH TREATY IS ACCEPTED BY 64 TO 57

Dail Eireann Ratifies A.gloIrish Treaty Creating Irish Free State After Long and Bitter Debate. TENSION IS ACUTE BULLETIN DUBLIN, Jan. 6. The Dail Eireann tonight voted .for ratification of the Anglo-Irish treaty, creating the Irish Free State. The vote was. 64 to 57. fBy Associated Press) ' DUBLIN, Jan. 7. The Dail Eireann appeared to be within a few hours of a vote on the Anglo-Irish treaty when ft concluded it s morning session today. . Debate was to proceed during the afternoon, lasting probably until ('. o'clock, before a vote could be reached. The second session was expected io bring forth an. important speech against the treaty by Charles Burgess, ihe minister of defense, while Arthur Griffith was to close the debate wih a general summing up and an appeal for approval of the pact. When the morning session had adjourned at 1:50 o'clock, to re-assemble at 4 p. m. tomorrow for the final ses sion, it was agreed that six speakers would be heard before, a vote on the treaty was taken. these including Burgess and ' Griffith. At the beginning of today's session of the Dail, Speaker John MacNeill made a motion prepared by himself calling upon the Dail to affirm that Ireland is a sovereign state deriving its authority from the will of the people. The motion would provide that ail of Ireland's international relations must be governed by this siatus. It is expected the motion will be put. through if the treaty is ratified. Following the reading of the motion Harry Boland arose to speak against the treaty. Tension is Acute Acute suspense and anxiety over the chances for peace prevailed in Ireland today as the result of Eamon DeValera's unexpected action yesterday in resigning as president of the Irish republic, ... i Few among the Irish people are willing to doubt the sincerity of his action, but the general regard for him does not prevent, many expressions of regret at his course. In the view of supporters of the peace treaty his action has seriously imperilled chances for peace. The Dail Eireann reassembled today iu an atmosphere of tension. Speaker MacNeill's ruling yesterday refusing to let the House be diverted from the urgent business in hand assured, it was believed a clear cut vote on the peace pact. DeValera's resignation as president stood postponed until the division was laken wnfch was expected to be some time in the afternoon. Situation Unchanged. It is the concensus of opinion here .hat Mr. DeValera's dramatic speech tendering his resignation has left the situation regarding the vote on the treaty unchanged, but.it undoubtedly will improve the prospects for a stable insii government. When the dail resumes its sessions Speaker MacNeill, who had ' strongly .supported the treaty,gave notice of a mption in his own name, reading as follows: "That the dail eireann affirms that Ireland is a sovereign nation, deriving its sovereignty in all respects from the will of the people of Ireland: that all the international relations of Ireland are governed on the part of Ireland by that sovereign status, and all facilities and acc--nmodation afforded by Ireland to another state or country are t uhjei t to the right of the Irish government to take care that the liberty and well being of the people of Ireland are not endangered." The object of this motion was to assert the principle that ratification of the treaty was in accordance with indopendence. . Asks Thanks for U. S. Harry' Boland, just back from the United States. a?ked for a vote of thanks for "the magnificent support America has given us." Boland said he would have to admit that sentiment in America favored the treaty, but many subscribers to the Irish loan would regard adoption of the treaty as a betrayal of their sympathy and support. He declared acceptance of the treaty would be suicide for Ireland. Ireland, he continued, "never has been and never cou'd be beaten." If the treaty were adopted she could never again ask the world for support in the fight for freedom. Boland was enthusiastically applauded when he took his seat. Supports Treaty. Joseph McGrath of Dublin followed in support of the treaty when he went out in 1916 to fight fori the republic he knew perfectly well that Ireland would never get a repub - lie. Under the pending treaty, however every iota of the Dail's original democratic program could be carried out. he declared. He created a sensation by stating that when he and Boland went to Garloch, Scotland, on their last trip as messengers in the negotiations with Prime Minister Lloyd George, Boland told him he was going to America on behalf of Eamon DeValera to prepare the people of America to accept Vomething short of a republic." Replying to McGrath. DeValera said that because he wanted to be honest with the American people he had told Boland to let them know he could not secure the "isolated republic" which was Ireland's ideal, but that his external association plan would give Ireland complete independence.

NEVER BEFORE IN HISTORY HAS UNITED STATES BEEN SO HEALTHY AS TODAY, SURGEON GENERAL

rAM.lDUK NEWS DIRE.VU WASHINGTON, Jan. 7. Never before in its history has the United States been so healthy as it now is and has been for several months, says Hugh S. Gumming, surgeon general of the United States public health service. Dr. Cumming qualifies his statement, however, by adding that the country's health is not as good as it should be. There is a general absence of the usual winter ailments. There are an unusually few cases of influenza, an j epidemic of which terrorized the country in 1918. . ' "The present paucity of cases is due, I believe, to the care of the individual for himself," Dr. Cumming says. "There is no positive antWoxin yet discovered that will cure influenza, so people must be extra careful and lead healthful lives, as much out of doors as possible." The central western states are warned against smallpox. The United States public health service reports virulent outbreaks of that disease in various parts of that section of the country, radiating from Kansas City. Oddly enough, the surgeon general attributes the prevelence of smallpox in the centrol west to the general good health enjoyed by that section. "This sounds strange." he says, "but in recent years smallpox has taken such a small toll the median or eight-year average has been about .60 persons in every 1,000 that people stopped being vaccinated." Urges Prevention "Due to the peculiarly fatal form of cmollnnT In tha ty- 1 s nront " tin n rl A a nhe ayerage death rate ease has increased to 1.21 persons per 1.000. The public can draw a lesson from that and avail itself of the preventive measure, namely, vaccination." The surgeon general sees no cause for alarm over the marked increase In diphtheria during the last year as high as 1.90 per 1,000 persons, whereas the median for the previous eight years was 1.20 per 1,000. He says that public schools throughout the country are equipped with immunizing facili-. ties, particularly the Schick test, which shows whether or not a child Is ARRAIGN AL'EGED CRIMINAL Ou JDERS IN CIRCUIT COURT The court room was thronged with spectators Saturday morning to witness the arraignment of a number of alleged criminals. Besides the case of Howard Mann, who was sentenced after others had been disposed of, Roscoe Johnson, Roy Null, T. J. Fjtzgibbons and John Gilbert were arraigned. Roscoe Johnson was arraigned under the lazy husband act for failure to support his wife and child. He had been up before on a similar charge. Johnson's only defense was that he was physically unable to work. The court deemed this insufficient, however, and gave him a sentence of 90 days on the county roads at hard labor, with a fine of $2: His fine will be worked out at the rate of $1 a day. T. J. Fitzgibbons, arraigned on a charge of malicious trespass, entered a plea of not guilty. His trial was set for Friday, Jan. 13. . A supersti-

immune to the disease. This is a ; harmless and painless test, he says, and is positive. Once a child is found susceptible to diphtheria he is given the proper antitoxin. Scarlet fever increased slightly in prevalence in 1921, Dr. Cumming says, the average being 1.92 cases per 1,000, as against the median of 1.13 cases. He does not view this increase as alarming, however. LIBERTY TO RETAIN DELIVERY OF MAIL

Postmaster General Hays, in his recent annual report, recommended the discontinuation of such service throughout the country. FOUNTAIN CITY MAN WHO STOLE TO FEED CHILDREN, LECTURED Howard Mann, of Fountain City, was sentenced to 60 days on the state farm, fined $5 and costs and disfranchised for one year, after conviction in circuit court Saturday morning on a charge of petit larceny. Mann had stolen four chickens from a farmer near Fountain City. "If it were not for your family, I would send you to prison," said Judge Bond in passing sentence. Mann, in pleading guilty, said he had stolen to provide for his children. "There is an honorable way to get through life," said the judge. "Plenty of good people in that community and plenty of organizations would see that your family was protected." Mann's wife, called before the court Vif nro' 5cn tonpo tiro a nnccnl m alo a ctmncr nia in a r,hi,r,cr , fm-i hr hiishand's lihprtv "I tippH him terribly to help me with these chil-l dren," she said. The judge took this fact Into consideration in passing sentence. "One of the saddest things in the administration of the law is the fact that the innocent must suffer with the guilty," he said. "Almost always a wife, mother or sister must answer for the faults of the men. I sympathize with you, yet men must know they cannot violate the law and go unpunished." FIFTH AVENUE FOX -HUNT COSTS $200 NEW YORK, Jan. 7. Two days in jail and a fine of $100 was the punishment imposed today on Aaron Kososky, president of a local retail fur company, for staging a fox hunt on Fifth avenue last Tuesday as an advertising stunt. The animal, scared ' when it was released in front of the public library with its muzzle bound with twine, dashed under an automobile and was injured. Kososky pleaded guilty to a charge of cruelty to animals. He contended he had not Intended harm to the animal und offered $500 to the society for the prevention of cruelty to animals. The gift was refused. TOWNSEND DEFENDS SENATOR NEWBERRY WASHINGTON, Jan. 7.

RELIEF FOR RUSSIA TALKED OVER HERE SUNDAY AFTERNOON A general meeting of all persons interested in Jhe campaign for Russian relief will be held with S. E.

The committee in charge of the campaign is resorting to overtime efforts to reap as much out of it as possible for the needy of the Russian country. Besides the need of relief which is imperative, it is of interest to American producers to know that this relief work is laying the foundation for an extensive future trade with Russia, and will open the doors to American markets along this line of commercial interests as soon as Russia can get on her feet again.

Mr. Sunday's portion of contributoins will consist only of the offering taken on the last Sunday he is here, the Rev. Stoakes said. -

WILL BEVERIDGE DISPUTE NEWS SENATE SEAT? Ex-Senator's Movements Are Watched by WashingtonWork .as Author Adds" to Picturesque Public Record. MEN AREXONTRASTED f Ily MARK SI LLIVA WASHINGTON. Jan. 7. In that crystallization ' of attention "upon th v coming senatorial and congressional primaries, which' are now uppermost among those who follow national polltics closely, there is one ever-present question. asks: . ;Will .Beveridge really run?" The Indiana ex-senatort movements are followed with the most watchful care, ana the shadings of his lightest words are examined minutely for light on his intentions..,'.: ;,, The question must soon be answered, for ' the Indiana primaries come May 2. So far, Beveridge Tioes not commit himself, but his motions look increasingly and, to the old organization Republicans, menacingly like those of a man who will soon be a candidate. He is travelling about Indiana making addresses on John Marshall to county bar association?, and on other subjects to schools and churches. Meantime, air energetic cor

respondence is going on among his friends, looking to: petitions and the other features of an organized campaign. The sitting senator who will seek re-election is Harry S. New. If Beveridge doesn't run. New will be renominated without serious opposition. Everybody takes it for granted that, barring Beveridge, no one can make any sort of fight against New. But if Beveridge comes out, there will be a fight that will not only stir Indiana to the grass roots, but will engage intent national attention. New, Organization Man New is an organization Republican. He is that ' not only within Indiana but within the party in the nation. In a contest with Beveridge he would have the support of nine-tenths of the Indiana organization. How far the national organization, or the administration would go toward taking" an open part in New's behalf, would probably be limited only by dictates of prudence. But that he would have the good wishes of the national organization and the administration admits of no doubt. , Everybody in Washington knows not only that Harding wanted New in bin cabinet, but also that in an intimate and personal way New is very close to the White House. That this fact will weigh much in his favor with dependable party men among the Republican voters of Indiana goes without saying. Harding Strong In Indiana, as throughout the country, Harding is strong not only with his own party, but with the voters generally. That sort of popularity, as every politician knows, and as has occasionally been demonstrated in the cases of other presidents, is as fickle as the favor of the gods; but there is not now. in sight 'any probability, of any change in sentiment about Harding such as would help Beveridge if ' he should be running next 2nd of May in the role of opposition to an administration favorite. Just what issues will be raised if Beveridge should run is not yet clear. He could hardly hope for success unless he should be able to dramatize the fight in Euch a way as to make himself the beneficiary of. what ever discontent may now exist or may later arise with the present record of the Republican senate, and of New personally as one of the responsible leaders of it, So far as Beveridge in his speeches has raised any definite issues up to date, he has given voice to criticism of the new tax bill, and "to ad vocacy of a soldiers' bonus. . ; ' . , Tax Bill DissatisfiesT" It i3 undoubtedly true that in Indiana, as elsewhere, there is formidable dissatisfaction with the new tax bill. It is also true that New, as a loyai party man, and as one of the Republican senate leaders voted for the bill and must be held responsible for It. But if Senator New is resourceful enough, or fortunate ' enough, to be able to make the more minute aspects of his record convincing to the voters, he can point out that he voted in favor of the unsuccessful efforts made in the senate to amend the tax bill ia just those particulars which compose the bulk of Beveridge's criticisms, . New voted for the repeal of the hih surtaxes, for dating back the repeal of the excess profits tax in 1921, and for the sales tax. Unhatmilv for Senator fT nowever, as a matter or pracutai pi utii, liic vuici, iii tuc bimi'ic form to which the electorate usuallv reduces issues, is likely to focus attention on the main vote on the bill as a whole, and to ignore the votes on unsuccessful amendments.

Protects Himself. As to the other issue Beveridge has so far raised, it is true that New voted against the soldiers bonus, but in doing so protected himself in such degree as he could by making a speech in which he said he would favor the bonus, whenever the .treasury could stand it. New also may be helped by the now apparent fact that the Republicans are going to pass a bonus bill this year, although they will need to hurry it if it is to be in time to help New May 2. Incidentally, these same Issues are the ones which will figure generally in the considerable number, of states in which, during the next few months, organization Republican senators, running for re-nomination, will - be, opposed by New men. Beveridge Faction In Beveridge's case, he will be ab!e to rely, in addition to whatever discontent there is with the record of the present frenate, on much wider and deeper factors. Beveridge, in any way you view it, is a most distinguished public man. However strongContinued on Page Four)
