Autonomy is Said to be Aim of
 New Irish Bill

London, Dec. 20.-The proposed Irish bill, which Premier Lloyd George will outline in the house of commons on Monday will, it Is believed, forecast a government for Ireland similar to the state governmental system in America It is understood to provide for separate parliaments for Ulster and Southern Ireland respectively with a superior body chosen by both sections. All of the bodies are to be responsible regarding i'm perial affairs, to the British par liament, to which representatives would be elected, as the states elect members to the American house of representatives.
 The idea will be to give large amount of autonomy to each sec tion of Ireland, with thoroughly easy machinery providing for their combination as soon as they desire to unite, the bil being in tended to pave the road for eli imitation of the idea of the parti- tion of Ireland. To a combined Ireland, it is indicated, even great CT powers may be given than are proposed for the sepate sections.

Negro's Money Box is Robbed of
 Sum of S1132

Because he had difficulty one time in checking money out of q bank, due to his inability to read or write, Tom Langford, negro farmer on A. J. Laster's place, near Pastoria, has since kept his funds in a money box at his home. That is, he kept his money there until Thursday night when a party of five men-Lang- ford says they were white-rob- bed him of $1,132.35 he had ob- tained from the sale of cotton. Five hundred of the sum was ln 100 crisp, new S5 bills.
 Langford was so badly frighten- ed by the threats of the highway men that he could not venture out of his home until Friday after neon. Deputy Sheriffs J. L. Me Burnett and J. w. Baldwin yes. terday arrested three men suspec- ted of complicity in the robbery, but after questioning them closely and checking up their stories the trio were released.
 ItangIOrQ COlQ the OIIlcefS ne was at his home with his wife, two daughters and an aged darkey who resides with them, about 8 o'clock Thursday evenings when two men masquerading as ~egroes gained entrance under the plea of be1ns permitted to ''come by the fire and warm." Inside the house they levelled automatic pistols at Lang ford and those of his household, and began their search. They took S2.45 from Langford's pocket, and then hunted through beds and drawers of the furniture, "They come nigh not finding it," Lang ford said, "but as they were going out one of them kicked the box, which I'd hid under a pile of quilts" The discovery netted the highwaymen more than s11o0.
 Langford says that when the men pulled their pistols the sleeves of their coats were pulled upwards, and he saw white skin above the blackened part of their hands. Upon entering the house, the men noted shotgun, and this

mitee.
 In this connection, Mir. Johnson displayed to the house variety of revolutionary publications, rn- cluding some printed so as to ap- pear as having been blood soaked.
 He also exhibited a number of letters, appealing for release of the I. W. W,'s and anarchists ordered deported during the last two years, but who are still in this country.
 "On Scotch I. w. w he sad twas conveyed from Seattle tG New York last spring with the 54 radiacls ordered deported. The Scotchman was promptly releas- ed in New York and was back ;n Seattle alomst as soon as the guards who brought him east, He still is out there, inflaming, fan ming. and organizing the l. w. W. revolution"
 The shooting of four membess of the American Legion at Gen. tralia, Wash, on armistice day, Mr. Johnson charged, was a "con- spiracy" among. the l. W. w., $ who under the pending bill, would quickly have been on their way overseas" In this case, he assert ed, the I. W. w. are trying to raise "a million dollar defense fund"

 spector and appointed Albert
 W. Tomlin, Of Greenwood, to
 the position.

 Little Rock, Dec. 20.-That ht would insist upon the resignation of Thomas H. Shaw as state mlne inspector was the declaration made today by Governor Brough to 2 delegation of Arkansas Federation of Labor members, headed by Jack Adams of Fort Smith, president o1 the federation. The governor told the delegation that the mat ter of unionism did not enter lntt the affair, but that he does not consider Mr. Shaw droved himself proper man for the office, ir view of the mine inspectors ac- tion in "affronting the state IT the recent coal crisis. He salo MT. Shaw had deliberately violated an executive order, and he felt that he could not depend upon hin as a state official should a req. crisis arise.
 The labor delegation asked the governor to overlook the affair and thus probably "avert another crisis, as union miners are behind MT. Shaw. To this, Governor Brough replied that while he re- gretted any miners should take such view of the matter, he was determined upon his course anc could not be dissuaded from car rying it out.
 The governor asked the resigna- tion of the mine inspector on De- cember 10 as the result of letter written the governor by the state official in which he said he would not make effort to operate mines with ncn-union men. The mines were closed because of the strike of mines, and communities were suffering for lack of coal.
