Delegates Win Fight
 For Action Tn Regard
 To Urging Irish Cause

President yet. They had great difficulty even in seeing his secretary.
 Word had come to them through many supposedly authentic channels that they would be seen at this hour or that hour, or on this day or on that day. They approached the subject through senators and attaches of various degrees of im- portance at the White House and else. where, but there was an impenetrable bar. At last the committee, in indigna- tion, made up it's mind that dignity. if nothing else, required showdown. either the President, through his buffers, was trifling with the time and the rights of American citizens, or someone was fail ing properly to put the matter before him. Whatever was happening, days were passing and he was about to sail for Europe with the case of Ireland absolutely untouched.
 IRELAND EXCLUDED
 Meantime, the press carried reports that at the White House dinner he had excluded Ireland from the programme. This was speedily denied by Mir. Tumul- ty. but at once reaffirmed openly on the flcor of the Senate.
 The conlmittee went to the White House at 12:30 today. Received by MT. Trmuty. it was told that the President was very busy man. Judge Golf said that of course he knew this. but this was a tredenmodus issue for those interested. MT. Tumulty said he was as much inter- ested in the issue as anybody. But that did not get the committee anywhere. He said he had been pressing the matter to the Presidents attention and expected to hear from him almost any momenet. Judge Golf said that we could wait no longer, but that as a matter of courtesy tto yrv at soln for a definite answer.
 Meantime MT. Tumulty had the fact communicated to the committee that if it returned at 3 o'clock it would be in- formed that the President would receive it not in Washington. but on next Tues day night in New York. after his speech at the Metropolitan theatre. The commit tee, nevertheless went back at o'clock to be assured in person of this fact.

ority over other matter and on the practice of bringing in such reports on important bills late in the sessions.
 In opposing the oil bill, the senator said the oil and coal and other miner als should be held foS the benefit of the people. and that instead of passing a general leasing law at this time. Con- gress should work out a general pro- gramme for developing these lands and frame proper legislation to carry it into effect.
 The oil leasing bill has been in Con- gress for four years, but this was the first time that the measure had been passed by both Houses.
 Senator Pittman of Nevada, chairman of the Senate managers. announced to- night no further effort would be made to bring up the bill for consideration at this session unless opponents indi- cated a desire to abandon their fight. hat. he a0ded, appeared improbable.

FINANCIAL PROBLEMS UP

Paris, March 1.-The council of the great powers today began consideration of financial and economic problems The subject was presented today in two spe- cific reports. One was from the finan- cial commission of which Louis klotz, French minister of finance, Is chair man and Albert Strauss and Norman Davis are the American members The other report was from the economic com mission of which Albert Clementel of France, is chairman and Bernard M Baruch. Vance Mccormick and Dr. A. A. Davis. the American members.
 The financial commissions report was brief. giving the main headings of the vast financial reorganization that is re- quired. It does not embrace reparations and indemnities for the war. as those subjects are being considered separate ly. Most of the hearings were presented without recommendations. which are left to the council and the plenary confer ence-

 Senator LaFo1lette spoke for three and one-half hours and only yielded the floor to permit the Victory Loan" bill being laid before the Senate with the understanding that if the oil bill was again brought up, he would not be barred from speaking again.

/ Washington, March 1.-Republicans of the House found themselves in the ma jority late tonight and after bitter de- bate by strict party vote of 1S2 to 17S, unseated Representative Zebulon Weav- CT, democrat. of the Tenth North Carolina district, in favor of James J. Britt, repub- lican.
 There was much parliamentary maneu- final vote on the contest, but they lost. Britt will hold his seat only two days, but the victory gives his salary and all lowances for the full term. The contest was over the 1916 election. Weaver was elected to succeed himself last fall.
 MT. Britt was. in the House chamber during the debate and subsequent voting

 and was mmediatel sworn in by Speaker Clark.
 Final action on the contest came just before midnight after more than five hours of continuous calling of the roll. The republicans gained an advantage of two votes on the first roll call, but the democrats by preliminary maneuvering succeeded in forcing half a dozen addi- tional roll calls. They failed to rally more strength, however.
 The fight tonight was marked by the only strict political division that has oc- cured between democrats and repub- licans during the life of the Sixty-fifth Congress.
 In the 1916 election MT Britt, on the face of the returns, was elected by ma jority of seven, but on an official recount MT. Weaver was declared elected. In that election MT. Britt was running for re-elec- tiOn.

Washington, March 1.-The delegation of prominent American citizens of Irish descent appointed at the recent Irish race convention in Philadelphia won it's fight today for action by the House rules committee to give right of way to Congress to a resolution instructing the American delegates at Paris to urge Ire lands cause before the peace conference.
 After hearing the delegation. which was headed by Justice John w. Golf and Dan- iel F. Cohalan of New York, the rules committee agreed to report out rule making the resolution in order in the House before adjournment.
 Later the delegation which arrived in Washington Tuesday. called at the White House to see President Wilson and personally present to him resolutions and memorials adopted at the Philadelphia convention They failed to see the Pres ident, but were told he would receive them in New York next Tuesday night after he speaks at the Metropolitan Opera house on the league of nations.
 Tonight John P. Grace, former mayor of Charleston, s. C.. and a member of the delegation, gave out state ment saying:
 GRACE'S STATEMENT
 "All during the war it was presumed that among small ma sions America waE fighting to establish in security was sure- ly Ireland, to which as Washington and the patriots of America acknowledged they owed more i'll the fateful hours os the revolution than all other foreign powers combined; but when the commit tee from the Philadelphia convention got to Washington it met with a strong series of forbidding difficulties.

u. S. Agent With Albert
Denounced as Insulting
Pasadena and Los angeles Men
Complain to State Department
ofSecret Service attaches Acts
Nc,c York Tribune
Wnshtn1ton Burenn

washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, Oct. 25.-An eight.
hundredword message of protest
against what was characterized as the
"insulting and high h-handed manner"
of j. NJ. Nye, the State Departments
secret service agent with the royal
Belgian party, was filed with the State
Department. to-day by Representative
Randall, of California, on behalf of
Mayor M. P. Snyder of Los Angeles
and the Board of Trade of Pasadena,
Calf.
The Western officials declare that
Nye, who formerly was connected with
the treasury secret service, arbitrar-
lily held the King and Queen of Bel
gium and party at the Ince moving
picture studio for more than an hour,
and thus prevented the carrying out
OF the program Of welcome planned
for the royal visitors at Pasadena.
"Nye acted in an insolent and high
handed manner, assuming full author
ity in a dictatorial attitude, and
whenever myself or any Of the COM
mittee tried to offer suggestions he
was Immediately insulted by Nye,"
Mayor Snyder said in his message
Mayor Snyder charged that Nye's
arbitrary action caused the huge crowd
of people at Pasadena to be disap-
pointed in not seeing the King and
Queen.
The program at Pasadena, Mayor
Snyder said, included luncheon at
the Hotel Maryland where number
ernor Stephens of California, were
awaiting the royal party.
The government secret service agent
also is charged with refusing to per-
NIT the presentation of some gifts to
the Queen by Miss Anita Baldwin,
daughter of "Lucky" Baldwin.
"The program of the royal party"
Mayor Snyder's message said, Nm
cluded stop at the ranch of Lucky
Baldwin, to which the guests were to
be taken by automobile. Miss Baldwin,
who was member Of the ladies' COM
mittee to greet the Queen, was to ride
ranch, some gifts were to be rendered
her royal highness. The stop ut the
motion picture studio prevented this
visit, and efforts to induce Nye to stop
the train at Santa Anita station, near
the Baldwin ranch, to take on the
presents, were unavailing."
Representative Randall and J. W
Pearman, secretary Of the Pasadena
Board Of Trade. have requested the
Secretary of State to give them an
opportunity Of meeting Nye in the
secretary's Office next week to hear
any defense the secret service agent
may have to offer.
"I adhered absolutely to the agree.
ment made with Los Angeles by the
State Department" said Mr.. Nye, wher
asked about the occurrence here last
night. "If the people of Pasadena
were disappointed at not seeing the
King and his party, it was the fault Of
the Mayor Of Los Angeles, who was
playing petty politics by trying to keeI
us in his city longer than we hae
agreed to stay"

After luncheon at the hotel, Queen
Elizabeth received Mr.. and Mrs. George
A. Kessler and decorated Mrs. Kessler
with the Medal of Elizabeth for her
work for the relief of blind war suf-
ferers in Belgium. A delegation of
women who had aided Belgium during
the war was also decorated by the
Queen.
