GREAT BRITAIN DENIES IRELAND
 INDEPENDENCE
Premier Lloyd George, In Address, Outlines Eng fish Policy On Irish Ques- ii Proposes Home Rule Scheme As Basis For Settlement
Republican A. p. Leased wirel

LONDON, Dec. 22.-Premier Lloyd George outlined the governments's proposals for Ireland in long state ment in the house or commons today. Speaking with great deliberation and emphasis hedeclared:
 Great Britain can not accept sepa- ration. The people who think Britain can be forced into it have not read the story of the last five years
 Loud cheers greeted this declaration. In an eloquent peroration the premier said:
 Tt is always the right time to do the right thing and Britain can afford now more than ever tota ke the initiative. No one will now suspect her of con ceding weakness. The land that by it's power destroyed the greatest military empire in the world will not be sus- pected of quafling before a band of wretched assassins-
 "is Task of Justice"
 The world will know that we are entering upon the task prompted by the deep sense of justice which sus- tained this land through these last years of sacrifice
 The hous~ and galleries were crowded, but it was noticeable that no nationalist members were present when the premier began his address. Extra precautions had been taken to have guards at all the entrances and care full scrutiny was exercised in order to prevent possible Sim Fein disturb anceS.
 The premier began by remarking upon the extreme difficulty of the task difficult in deed,- he said, after such a discreditable outrage as has just been perpetrated at Dublin"
 He characterized the attempt on Wis count French, the lord lieutenant of Ireland, as one of the most cowardly and foolish incidents i'll the history of political crime. He was glad the chiefs denounce it.
 Too Many Factions
 Reviewing the position of Irish af- fairs, he said that nobody in Ireland wanted the act of 1914. Tn the exist ing circumstances no possible scheme for Irish rule was universally accep- table and parliament must assume the responsibility and propose what it thought fair and just.
 A settlement would be found, not in the enactment, but in the working of home rule scheme. He admitted that plenty of mistakes had been ma6e on both sides; there were also folies and crimes.
 But he added, we want the chap ter closed-not to ask who is to blame but to set matters right
 The governments new bill provides briefly for the creation of two legisla- lures in Ireland with full constituent powers to create single Irish legis- lature to discharge all powers not specifically reserved to the imperial parliament. A clause in the bill will proted the rights of minorities. The question of uniting these two Irish legislatures into one hHdy rests with the Irish people, the consent of the imperial parliament not being required.

 Notable in the days long series of conciliation conferences was a meet ing between Senator Lodge of Massa- chusetts, the republican leader, and Senator Underwood of Alabama ! prominent democratic advocate of a speedy compromise.
 They are said to have discussed the whole range of possibilities for bring ing together, on common ground, enough senators to insure ratification.
 Hitchcock Active.
 Meantime the democratic leader. Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska, can vassed sentiment on both sides of the controversy and arranged, during the coming week, to see every republican senator who remains in Washington over the holidays.
 As soon as congress reassembles he plans to have a general conference of those who favor ratification with or without reservations.
 In his talk with Senator Underwood, Mir. Lodge had before him the views of the mild reservation group of re- publicans, who presented to him at conference yesterday a plea for sup port of the compromise negotiations.
 Notifications in the language of the reservations, as agreed. on by the sen- ate majority, are understood to have been suggested by the mild reserva- tionists, although it was said the ques- ton of the language to be adopted would be left open for the present Re-drafts of some of these -reserva- tlons have been submitted to various senators by prominent republicans outside congress. while many sugges tfons for changes have come from other sources. All of these. 1t is un- derstood, will be taken into considera- tion IS the negotiation proceeds It was not revealed which of the IA ma jority reservations the mild group would be willing to modify, but com promise discussions heretofore have centered about the article 10 qualifi- cation and the preamble which re- quires that the reservations must be accepted by three of the great powers before the treaty becomes binding There also has been talk of change in regard to Shantung and several other subjects dealt with in the major ity program.

INSANITY ID BE NEW DEFENSE IN
 TRIAL FOR LIFE
[RepubIican A. p. Leased wireI

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 22-Efforts today to prove that Harry New, on trial charged with the murder of his fiancee. Freda Lesser, was insane and thaf Miss Lesser shortly before the aa- legged murder in Topango canyon. near here July ,, last, was Respondent and expressed the wish 10 die, marked the opening today of the case of the de- fense
 As long ago as 1909. New was known to associates as "Nutty New" accord ing to a deposition read to the jury.
 The prosecution, which closed it's case unexpectedly before noon, pro- duced as a witness Mrs. I. M. Seibert, formerly a resident of Indianapolis. who testified New had told her shortly after the alleged crime he was not in sane and objected to a defense of in sanity.
 The prosecution also introduced, during the testimony of H. H. Cline, police detective. a second alleged writ ten confession by New, lengthier than the first, placed before the jury last week J. H. Richardson, a newspaper man, testified New had admitted to him he killed Miss Lesser because she would not marry him and was en- phatic in asserting there was no foun- dation for reports the girl might have killed herself.
 The presentation of evidence by the defense was begun this afternoon the state having completed it's case with unexpected speed shortly before noon. The first defense witness was A N Burger, resident of Glendale, a sub urb, who was employed at the same local. business establishment where New and Miss Lesser worked. He tes- tified that in the latter part of June of this year, he heard Miss. Lesser ex- claim to Miss Edna Clancy. a half-sis- ter of New. and other young girls working at the establishments: "I wish I were dead
 Burger said he expressed surprise that young girl apparently in good health should be so Respondent and "endeavored to laugh her out of her mood" but she persisted in expressions of like nature, the witness added.
 Lecompte Davis. who, with Judd Rush and John l.. Richardson is de- lending New, said he introduced this testimony in connection with the con- Lesser was in such state of mind be- cause of expected birth of a child, that she was likely to have taken her own life
 The defense then plunged into the reading of numerous depositfons in an attempt to show New had been con- sfdered mentally unsound many years before the tragic death of his sweet heart.
 Theodore Taylor of Indianapolis who served with New in the Indiana national guard on the Mexican border in 1916, expressed the opinion in a mind because of his alleged sulIenness at that time and his desire to be let alone and because of his fondness for hunting and killing rattIespaJxes

were paying about 8 cents an hour
more than the railroad administra
ton which difference will be equal
sed under the cent advance.
II approach this matter Mr.. Hines
said in his report, with the clearest
conviction that the railroads must be
conducted now and for all time in the
future in such way as to give 70
railroad employees an adequate COM
pensation and a liberal share in the
returns from railroad operation. This
is not only justly due to the en-
ployes who make possible the rendl-
ton OF the service, but 1t is obviously
in the interest of good service. 1t is
true now and will be true to con-
tinually increasing extent in the fu-
ture that a state Of contentment on
the part Of railroad labor will be In
dispensable to efficient railroad serv-
ice and this contentment can no. ex-
list unless the evidence OF fair treat
ment is so clear that it will carry
conviction to the railroad employees
themselves"
In addition to the four cents an
hour increase for most of the shop
men, the director general ordered that
all freight car repairmen receive 81
cents an hour instead Of SO cents for
steel car repairers and IS cents for
wooden car repairers. and that car in
spectors should receive 81 cents in
stead of So cents, with the exception
in both classes that the increase for
men employed at outlying points,
where the work is not continuous,
shall be four cents an hour.

-Lieutenants H, G. Peterson and
Paul N. Davis, the two American avi-
ators, who were captured by Mexican
bandits under Chico Cana, on Sunday
OF last week. and held for ransom in
the sum Of $4,000, have been released.
The impulse of General Joseph 7. Dick
man, in command Of the southern de-
partment Of the army, was to recap
ture the prisoners by force. 1t was SO
apparent, however, that Peterson and
Davis could be killed that this idea was
abandoned. Secretary Baker ordered
the payment of the money. Cattlemen
and cowboys raised the SIS, 900 by pri-
vate subscription, pending the unwind
ing Of red tape, and the money was
placed in the custody Of H. n. Fennell,
a banker of Maria, Texas, subject to
the order Of the military authorities.
Captain Matlaek, of the army, took the
money to a cottonwood tree about
mile and a half south Of San Antonio.
where the transaction was to be COM
pleted. 1t was night, the bandits hav-
ing specified darkness so signal flares
could be seen with greater ease. With
in half an hour Captain Matlaek rode
into Candalaria with Lieutenant Pc
terson. He went back and returned at
gallop bringing Lieutenant Davis be-

but in the case Of Davis, Captain Mat
lack decided that he could make get
away from the one man in attendance,
he put Davis on behind his horse and
ran for it. The amount actually paid
for the ransom was $500. Fennell
brought back $4,000 General Dick
man was not altogether pleased with
the proceedings, saying that the full
amount should have been paid to the
bandits, and declaring that if possible
1T would yet be delivered. Immediate
" after the transfer Of the prisoners
cavalry troops, armed with machine
guns and guided by airplanes, proceed
ed across the border in search of the
bandits. Leutenants Peterson and Da-
Wis said that there were six bandits IA,
the party that captured them, but
there were twenty in the main crowd
at the ranch to which they were taken,
and 1t is understood that the entire
ranch included about sixty men. a
storm broke in the mountains about
the time the cavalry started, some six
hours after the transfer Of Davis ana
Peterson, and it was expected that be-
cause Of the obliteration Of trails by
the rain it might be difficult to follow
the outlaws.
