ASKS FOR COMMITTEE
Senator Penrose Has Plan TO
Handle Food Finances.
inquiry Into Activities Of the Hoover
Administration 10 Hinted Dur
ing Debate.

Washington, Jan. 22.-Investigation
of activities Of the Food administra-
ton was limited in the senate in the
courts of debate over the measure to
vote 500, 000. 900 for European relief.
Senator Penrose referred to Food
Administrator Hoover as a "non-resi-
dent Of the United States who could
not be compelled to return In response
to s%ubpoenas Of congress-" adding
land there will be subpoenas after
March A."
Senator P%enrose, who proposed the
appointment of a committee by con
gress to handle the funds, said he
would not oppose the measure IL the
appropriation could be personally dis.
pensed by President Wilson but he
did object, he said. to putting 1t In
the hands Of unknown, irresponsible
sutocrats" with an official status. He
spoke Of the 'airplane scandal and
the food autocracy" as examples OF
this kind Of legislation.
Senator Hollis of New Hampshire,
who recently returned after a six
months visit to Europe, declared he
believed no American enjoyed greater
confidence in Europe than Hoover,
adding that he had accomplished a
great work in this country.

RoyaIist Revolution Spreading.
Lisbon, Jan. 22.-The royalists' rev.

Paiya Concerto, who is leading the
revolution, has proclaimed himself
premier and foreign minister of the
monarchist government. The royal
flag is flying from his headquarters
in Villanova, a suburb Of Oporto.
Nothing further had been learned

from England yesterday, disapprov-
ing the attempt to restore him to the
throne.
Government troops were Smelling

from the Santarem valley and from

SNOWFALL Fight at Elmwood.

There is a charming picture Of a
SNOWFALL fight at Elmwood. with the
three young nephews, in LOwell's es-
say, "A Good Word for Winter" writ

ALREADY, as | write, It is twenty
odd years ago. The balls fly thick
and fast. The uncle defends the

of %nephews. his breast plastered with
decorations like another ltadetsky's.

good humor under fire of him who
fell in the front at Balls Bluff the
silent ~pertinacity Of the gentle

PROCLAIM IRISH
INDEPENDENCE
SiNN FEM MEMBERS OF BRITISH
PARLIAMENT HOLD CONVEN-
TON IN DUBLIN
SPEECHES REAO-AlDRESS IS APPROVED
Committee OF Three Appointed To
Present ireIand's Claims At The
Peace Conference In Paris

Dublin, Jan. PAN Irish parlia
meeting here of % members Of the
Sim Fein society elected to the Brit
ish house OF commons.
They elected Charles Burgess,
whose Irish name is Cathal Brugha.
speaker. They also adopted a decla.
ration Of independence and an address
to the free nations of the world and
appointed a committee consisting of
Count Plunkett. Arthur Grifiiths and
Prof. Edward DeValera to present the
claims of Ireland to self-determinatiOn
to the peace conference at Paris
. Two Members In Prison.
The two last named being in British
prisons. only the venerable Count
Plunkett can proceed to Paris, and
then only provided the British govern
ment consents to give him passports.
The walls of the hall were quantity
embellished with classic statues In
plaster and coats Of arms. Past lord
mayors have witnessed many more eX.
citing dramas. notably In recent years
than the conventions OF the Nationalist
party, when there were impassioned
speeches and hot party contests.
That the proceedings seemed tame
by contrast was due to the fact that
they were conducted in the dead Ian
guage Of the Irish tongue. This was
a tribute to sentiment. but 1t was
deadening to interest.
Few Understand Addresses.
Few of the 1000 auditors understood
the addresses.
Oratory was killed by the process
of reading all the speeches and ever
some of the delegates had trouble in
The only concession to popular inter
est was the translation of the declara-
ton of independence and the address
10 the free nations in English and
French and this was a wearisome pro-
cess.
1t should not be inferred there was
any lack of emotion or want of feel
ing of responsibility on the part Of
the delegates. They evidently felt
themselves men playing great parts
in a solemn sacrament.
Admission by Ticket.
The rotunda Of the Mansion House
where the congress met, Is a dingy
old place lighted by stained glass win
dows overhead. The platform and
half the floor we're fitted with tables
for officers and delegates. The re-
mainder Of the floor and the circular
gallery were reserved for the public,
admission being by ticket.
A large proportion of the audience
was composed of women The num-
Der of young priests was conspicuous.
The meeting lasted only 80 minutes.

GOVERNMENT IS
WELL SUSTAINED
CHANCELLOR EBERT RECEIVES.
THE NATIONAL VOTE OF CON-
FIOENCE AT POLLS
SOCIALISTS APPEAR TO Bel POWER NOW
Paris Interprets German Elections AS
Promising Prospect For Establish
ing Stable Regime

Zurich, Jan. 22.-According to re
turns received here, Chancellor Ebert
has received a national vote of conf
dence in the German elections. His
party, the minority Socialists, appears
to have won a complete victory. The
former Liberals, o called German
Democrats, are second. The Sparta
cans were showed under.
Stable Government Indicated.
Paris, Jan. 22.-Early returns from
the German elections are interpreted
here to signify a promising prospect
for the establishment of a fairly stable
German administration at an early
date. The Majority Socialists and the
German Democrats, who are the NC
cessors of the old Radical party, ap-
parently will go into the constituent
assembly with a big lead over the In
dependent Socialists.
Friedrich Won Payer, former vice
chancellor and leader Of the Demo-
Gratis. and the Socialist leaders, Ebert
and Schneidemann, demonstrated their
ability to work together in the old
isCiSiiStoS. AhCy dioo Cdu COuut ou
Konstantin ~Fehrenbach. the Centrisr
leader, as an ally in their efforts to in
stitute a government with q basis Of
popular support.
This contamination Is regarded In
all Allied circles here as an indispens-
able preliminary to any peace negotia-
tions. The coming into power Of these
groups will mean the continuation Of
the present armistice commission and
the probable appointment of Scheide-
mann, Won Payer and F~ehrenbach or
Erzberger as the leading members Of
the German peace delegation.
Centrists Strong in Bavaria.
Berlin, Jan. 22.-Majority Socialists
are far ahead of any other party in
the National assembly elections, &C.
cording 10 latest available returns.
In Bavaria, the Ceptrists maintained
their strong position. At LEIPZIG In
dependent Socialists obtained a ma
jority. In Munich, the Majority So.
cialists secured 151, 900 votes and the
Independents 10000. In Baden, the
Centrists polled $50, 900; the Majority
Socialists, 38S, 900, and the I~ndepend-
ents 145, 900.
1t is probable that former Chief Of
Police Eichhorn and Hugo Haase,
former secretary for foreign affairs In
the Ebert cabinet, have been elected
to the National assembly.

DANE ADVISES
INTERVENTION
ENVOY TELLS WAR COUNCIL NEG
ESSARY IN RUSSIA TO CHECK
REIGN OF TERRORISM
INTERVENTION IS ALPHABETICALLY URGED
Joint Discussions Of Economic Prob
lens to Follow Consideration BY
Separate Delegations

Paris, Jan. 22.-The supreme
war council-the steering COM
mittee" Of the peace congress
again took up the Russian prob
lem.
n. %Scavenlus, former Danish
ambassador to Petroorad, n Of
the last diplomats to leave Rus
sla, was heard. hls country was
n Of the last ~neutrals to break
OF relations with the soviet gov.
eminent.
II 10 understood that ScavenIus
contended more emphaticaily than
did Joseph Noulens, former
French ambassador to Russia,
that Intervention In Russia was
necessary to check the regime Of
terrorism there.
Paris, Jan. 22.-Various economic
delegations, owing to pressure of more
urgent problems before delegates to
the peace congress. are studying each
for itself the blockade and kindred
subjects. It is probable Joint discus
sions will be in%augurated DON
The American viewpoint contem-
plates a certain relaxation Of the
earlier ~"watertight" blockade which
would allow the entry of foodstuffs,
lubricants and other materials into
enemy countries. This, 1t Is held,
would permit the restoration of dis
tributing systems, -four mills and
other agencies involved in the prep
aration Of food supplies. The block
ade, however, would otherwise be az
rigidly enforced as ever because of
its value as a weapon to force the
enemy to accept the peace terms that
will be presented.
Food Sent Into Vienna.
The relaxation Of the blockade. as
regards foodstuffs is already effective
in a portion Of the former Hapsburg
domains. Food is being sent into
Vienna as well as to liberated re-
gions."
The problem Of trade restrictions on
neutrals as a part of the enemy block
ade is also under consideration.
Restrictions on NeutraIs.
This problem, however, Is c0mpn-
Gated by the question of possible com.
petition between neutrals and the
handicapped entente belligerents be-
fore the latter are completely re-
stored to their antebellum efficiency.
1t is urged by representatives Of vari-
Gus Allied governments that it would
be unfair to give neutrals undue ia.
cilities to rush in and seize world
trade while the Entente belligerents
are unable to compete on equal terms.
American representatives believe It
feasible to arrange a compromise be-
tween belligerents and neutrals in this
matter.
At least one of the European bel
ligerents has an economic program
which 1t desires to see incorporated
in the adjustments effected by the
peace congress. This program in
cludes the supply OF raw materials
and the restoration and recuperation
of trade at moderate prices through a
system of priority export licenses.
The program also includes financial
and trade arrangements, 1t IL said.

20, 200 Catholic clergymen in the U. s.
who every day offer the sacrament Of

duty IL they cannot obtain wine? l
know I will be replied to that wine is
permitted for sacramento purposes.
/ cannot see how this will be, If the
manufacture. sale and importation Of

To Reduce Homestead Requirements.

Washington, Jan. ga senate bill
modifying homestead laws to shorten
the period Of residence required Of
settlers in mountainous regions of the
west was passed by the house without
amendment. The present law requires
seven months residence a year for
three years, but the bill would permit
land office registers to require six
months for four years, or five months
for five years in regions where eli.
matte conditions make the longer Pc
riod impractical.
