They had been an extra pair purchas-

This appeared plainly enough. Judge

that Thomas was guilty of taking the

Ulstermen and Nationalist
Are About to Adjust
Their Differences
CARSON WEl coined
IN The new CABINET
BY ]. W. PEGLER.

United Press Staff Correspondent.
LONDON. Dec. 16.-The long-delay-
ed settlement Of the Irish question is
now visible. An amicable union of
the Ulsterites and the southern Irish.
men was nearer today than it ever has
been since the futile passage OF tho
Home Rule bill in 1914. Lloyd Georges
negotiations following the Dublin re-
volt, which outwardly were a failure,
nevertheless have been quietly and
steadily progressing. They have now
reached a stage where a definite IA
vorable announcement may be expect
ed any day.
One favorable indication was in the
announcement of the new cabinet that
there was no serious objection raised
TO Sir Edward Carson's appointment
AS there was when Sir Edward was
first included in Asquith coalition
cabinet. Nor was there any unfa-
vorable criticism of Lloyd George s
retaining OF Henry Edward Duke as
chief secretary for ireland in the cabi-
net. Obviously the premier's action
was on account Of Dukes efforts
TO reunite Ireland.
John Ireland appeal in Commons
yesterday IN which he ted the fact
Ulstermen and Nat.onalists were the
most amiable of companions on the
western front was the first open in
dication of impend ng events.
Bonar Laws acquiescence in this
debate yesterday shows in what direc-
ton the wind is blow 'ng II was
pointed out today that denials by Sir
Edward Carson and John Redmond
should be discounted. because It was
necessary at that time. on account of
delicate points of adjustment, that no
hint Of the agreement be given out.

Senator Newlands Writes CoIiea eues
Asking Support for His No
ton ON the Bill.

Senator Newiands Of Nevada who has
pending 4 motion to refer the House
food control bill TO the interstate COM
merce committee. of which he is chair
man. instead of the committee on COM
merce, yesterday wrote letters 10 all
senator's urging them TO support his
motion, which also would send his river
regulation bill TO his committee
as not the reason for the steady de-
terioratior in our waterway commerce
this time. that all that was needed TO de-
velop water borne commerce was river
improvement as heretofore made,
through the river and harbor bill, I'M
der the jurisdiction of the Senate com :
merce committee and the House rivers
and harbors committee" the senator
wrote. That is the reason That is
why we have failed. a revival of wa
terways Will be brought about only by
co-ordinating rail and water routes and
rates of transportation and providing
adequate transfer facilities and water
way terminals. That cannot be done
through any other committee than the
interstate commerce committee
Il have given this subject much
thought and am profoundly convinced
that until the Jurisdiction over inland
waterways including river regulation.
IS vested in the interstate commerce
committee. our efforts to establish wa
terway commerce will continue fruit
less and we will continue to waste mill
lions upon the improvement OF rivers
that carry no commerce justifying the
