'DEMOCRATS TO STAND, AS UNIT

AGAINST BILL 1 Ilou.-e Leaders Predict Final ote on Tariff Will Show Few Break?. BEGIN DEBATE TODAY Minority Report Brands Meas tire as Conspiracy to Aid Favorites. llv AsFor iaferl Pro.: WASHINGTON, July 7 The permanent tariff bill, asj drawn by republican members of the house ways ant.' means committee, took top place on ihe house calendar Thursday, not to b displaced by other legislation until voted on July 21. There was no ff.rfmony in beginning consideration of the 3 40 page; measure and the day was devoted to to having'it read paragraph by paragraph while members sat and sweltered without giving he'd to the monotonous droning of a relay of reading clerks. Upon adjournment democratic members held a conference at which it was said "with half a dozen exceptions" it was agreed that the party should ttand as a unit against the bill. Some of the members, it was added, declined to be bound by instructions, but leaders predicted the final vote would show but few breaks in the ranks. A resolution was adopted at the conference declaring that the measure violated all principles and traditions of the democratic party and reafhrming the party's stand against a high protective tariff. The conference lasted less than 15 minutes. The reading had not been concluded when the house quit work for the day. and before general debate begins Friday the reading will be concluded and a rule adopted shutting off all but a few general amendments and such others as may be offered by the committee. Outstanding in the first day's work on the bill was the presentation or a minority statement by democratic members of the ways and means committee, who charged that the republican tariff program would mean destruction of the nation's foreign trade, bringing new hanlships on the tax paying public through the system of American valuation of imports, and establish rates higher than hcretCioro ever written.

At that time- she was employed ns a special Investigator and confin-cd her efforts to the Illegal sale f liquor in certain sections of the city. Her work, however, did not eliminate the "booze traffic" in that section. She was again placed on the pay roll of the department on June 10 a a special investigator. Thi fact was not made known, however, until early this "week. It wan then with reluctance- that Harry E. Josephson. clerk of the safety board, and Peter Kline, chief of police, admitted that .he woman had bf-en given police authority.

Peace

HOPES FOR IRISH PEACE STILL HIGH British Believe De Valera Would Attend Meet if Smuts Were Chairman. Uy Associate I Tress i LONDON, July 7-The Irish peace movement on the .surface made no further progress Thursday, but hopes remain high, mainly on account of the fact that Gen. Smuts, premier of South Africa, is taking such an active part in the negotiations with an uvident purpose to translate into practical politics the king's message and exhortation for forbearance at the opening of the Ulster parliament. The king's evident and .erious interest in bringing about peace is also a strong factor in the situation. His proffer of Buckingham palace for the meetings of the proposed conference points In the direction of a repitition of the pea:o efforts of 1914. when the home rule conference assembled in tht? palace under tho chairmanship of the Right Hon. James William Lowther, then Speaker of the house of common.?. It is believed that If an independent chairman were appointed to tho conference now contemplated, especially Gen. Smuts, who is trusted by tho Irish people, there would bo a far greater chance for Mr. De Valera accepting the conference. It is prob-i able, however, that nothing will develop definitely pending Fri-iay'H Dublin conference between the Irish republican leaders and the southern unionlstfl. WILL NOT ATTEND. DUELIN, July 7 Neither Gen. Smuts, the South African premier, nor Sir James Craig, the Ulster premier, is expected in Lublin for the conference in which Eamonn De Valera and otaer Irish lenders will participate Friiay. Though nothing has transpired regarding the nature of the negotiations, Mr. Do Valera is known to maintain the republican principle, his attitude being that he was elected with a republican mandate, which only the Irish people can vary. It ks declared that if really large proposals were made he would submit them for the determination of the Irish people. It is considered improbable that Mr. Do Valera or his colleagues will go to London in response to Premier Lloyd-George's invitations unless the basis of the proposed conference there 1? improved. DE VALERA CONFIDENT OF EARLY SETTLEMENT NEW YORK. July 7. Hope that the present negotiations will lead to peaceful settlement of the centuriesold question was expressed by Earnon De Valera, president of the Irish republic, in an exclusive statement cabled to "he United Press Thursday. The statement the first authorized public expression of De Valera's views since the negotiations started follows: "We tru.'t that the British prime minister's letter may prove to be the tirst step toward subsiituing a civilized basis of right and reason for that of barbaric violence In the arbitration of the question at Issue between Ireland and Great Britain. "Should the conference now initiated lead to an ultimate understanding and lasting peace between the people.') of these two Island, which hav been in a slate of wir. or suppresaeei war, for more than seven and u half centuries, lt will set a worthy Christian precedent for the entire worli "The British prestige will be re-

stored, whilst young Ireland will live In history as having paved, by Its courage and fteadfastne.s, the Ideals for which millions were l?d to offer their lives in the great war. (Signed) Eamon De Valera."

Refuse Clemency TO Z or Promoter ofrUTV cnrrTH Belshazzar Feast JUL OrilliAL t i

Prominent Kokomo Men Fail in Effort to Have McCray Lighten Sentence. By A seriated l'res : INDIANAPOLIS. July 7. Ministers, business men. and relatives ct J. Victor Pinnell, Kokomo business man serving a 30-day sentence at the penal farm for violating the prohibition law In promotion of what has become known a.s the second "Feast of Helshazzar made a vain plea, Thursday to Gov. McCray for clemency for th prisoner. "The plea, such as you make, breeds disrespect for the law, and causes anarchy and bolshevism." tho governor said as ho addressed the Kokomo delegation, pointing- out the Pinnell was a man of wealth, position and influence. In asking a commutation of Pinnell's sentence, the delegation was said to have told the governor that the prisoner had been persecuted, not prosecuted, and that his sentence was more than that usually given professional bootleggers. After hearing the plea. Gov. McCray declared his appreciation of friendship which he said was the motive prompting the appeal for Pinnel, but the governor added that his oath required him to support the laws of the state and if one-tenth of what he had read about Pinnell's dinner were true, he believed the prisoner uad broken many laws. A few days ago ex-G-ov. Ralston conferred with Gov. McCray about Pinnell's case, and was understood to have been told substantially the same as given Thursday to the Kokomo delegation. Mr. Ralston, however said he did not make any specific request of Gov. McCray, but inquired about procedure in ohtain ing clemency. Pinnell's dinner was given last November at tho Kokomo Country Club soon before his marriage. It attracted an outburst of disapproval from come Kokomo ministers, and led to an indictment In the federal court. The federal case is still pending, Pinnell having been alwnt from Indiana for many weeks while spemllng his honeymoon abroad. Pinnell was sentenced by the Howard County court two weeks ago. Tho Kokomo delegation that m?ule the appeal Thursday to the governor Included Rev. Bent. Rev. A. J. Stiernke. W. H. Arnett, secretary of the Kokomo Chamber of Commerce. Don Strode, state senator, Frank Miller, Willis R. Dye. Olio Ruck, W. H. Turner. Frank McCarty, and O. C. Phillips. COMPLETE PLAN'S FOR ADVANCE TO CARRIERS WASHINGTON.
