DUBLIN TIPPED
NEXT IN LINE
Bayonet Rule Expected to Be
Spread in Ireland.

e. DUBLIN, Dec. 11.-Early extension Of
martial law zone in Ireland was pre-
dicted here today. Opinion was general
that Dublin will be included in tue pro
claimed area before the end of the year.
All Ireland today resembled vast
armed camp and the atmosphere is sur
charged with tension. Yesterdays proc
lamation of martial law over wide area
in the southwestern part of the country,
Including the county and city OF Cork.
came with such stunning suddenless that
the bulk of the people did not begin to
realize until today the full gravity Of
the situation.
One reason it is expected Dublin will
be included In the martial law zone is
that the severity OF winter Is driving
many gun running rebels from the coun-
trysfdes to the cities, and host Of them
Is expected to concentrate In this capital.
The government is expected to make
every effort to round them up, in CON
formity with Premier Lloyd Georges
announcement in the House OF Commons
yesterday that disarmament Of the re-
publicans is the governments chief aim.
Dispatches from Cork, which is the
center Of the martial law area, reported
that city quiet early, today. The belief
was expressed in private kilograms from
Cork that II the proclamation means that
the black and tans will be kept in stricter
discipline than they have observed hith-
erto. martial law will prove a blessing.
1t is estimated 100000 persons are I'M
der British army rules as result OF
the Governments action.
1t is understood there that additional
British troops are coming.

CITY TRIES OUT
NEW PAVEMENT
Resurfacing Material Will Be
Used Extensively if
Successful.

A new kind of pavement Is being tried
out by the city in the resurfacing Of
Meridian street beneath the track eleya-
ton at the Union Station, and. II it
proves successful, will be used extensively
In future street work, according to John
L: Elliott. assistant city civil engineer.
The section OF street was opened TO
traffic yesterday.
The new pavement is called two
course asphaltic concrete and is com
posed OF one binder course OF concrete
and a top course of asphaltic concrete.
The aspkaltlc concrete course diff ers from
that used In this city heretofore In that
powdered granite stone is used instead
OF powdered limestone. Since granite
is 50 much harder than limestone It is
thought that the new material viii wear
much longer,
The cost OF the experimental material
is only approximately five cents per
square yard greater than that which the
row generally specifies, Mr.. Elliott
said.

EUROPEAN DEBT
TO CONE UP SOON

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-THE question
Of how Europe's Indebtedness Of nearly
$4,000, 900 900 to the United States can be
utilized to relieve the strain OF the treas
ury will be considered soon by the Sen
ate Finance Committee, Senator McCum-
Der. acting chairman Of the committee
said today. Senator Smoot, Republican
member Of the Finance Committee, also
said the question would be taken up soon
Neither he nor McCumber thinks any
thing can be done at this session of Con-
gress. 1t IS believed some plan may be
decided at this session for execution when
President-elect Harding takes office.
One plan OF realizing on the allied debt
il to arrange for conversion Of certificates
Of Indebtedness Of the foreign nations
held by the treasury into bonds Of those
governments.
"These debts are secured by demand
certificates Of Indebtedness subject to
payment on demand" said Senator Nc
Cumber. "But the foreign nations have
no money and 1t is no use to demand the
payment In negotiation with the foreign
nations, I believe it could be arranged
TO change this paper into government
bonds"
Senator Simmons, Democrat, North
Carolina, suggested that the American
people could take up the foreign bonds.
hut Senator Smoot, while emphasizing the
foreign peoples are In mo shape" to IN
derwrite such bonds, questioned the ad-
visibility of putting the burden on the
people Of the United States While there
is an evident desire on the part of Con-
gress to reduce the allied indebtedness.
It was made plain today by Senator
Smoot that there is no possibility of Con-
dress rescinding the debt or any part Of
It without proper liquidation.

Judge Collins referred to the dice as

Winkler testified that he saw Lee at
tempting to put two $40 bills in his
pocket when the police entered the room.
About so cents and the dice were re-
covered by the officers, Winkler testl-
fed.
During the cross examn nation of Of
ficer Winkler, Attorney Robbins asked
Winkler some startling and illuminating
questions concerning shoOtin craps and
the reputation Of the Pioneer Club.
''Mr. Winkler, you never heard that
this Pioneer club ever robbed people,
did you?" asked Robbins.
Winkler answered that the club had
been only in existence n short time be-
fore the raid.
1t was then that Attorney Robbins put
his big question to officer George Wink

any money on them ?"
Judge Collins leaned forward to hear
the answer and newspapermen grabbed
their pencils.
Wtnkler smiled and said, II guess they
can"
Robbins appeared to be satisfied with
the answer. p

flying IN the City Court on other cases,

today, r,E
Harston refused to explain the nature
of his information. He notified Ardmore
authorities of what he had learned, how

Curious eyes of almost the entire ma

new developments in the search that is
being conducted for the reputed slayer.
Newspapermen and lawyers have been
baffled at the failure to locate the
woman.
Victor Moore, an Ell Paso attorney, is
said to have been entrusted with. the
task of getting Clara Hamon back from
Mexico, but reputed definite infOrma ton
from him that she was on her way to
FIT. Worth has been discounted.
A member of the firm Of Mclean,

Moore over a long distance telephone. II

No warrant for the womau's arres. has
been received by officials In Tarrant
County, Texas, and the apparent fear
evinced by the woman goes unaccounted
for by the law firm at FIT. Worth. The
woman would be advised to return to
Ardmore and stand trial, members Of
the firm declare.
Her acquittal of the murder charge is
foregone conclusion with the lawyers,
who claim Russell Brown, prosecuting
attorney at Ardmore, has nothing more
than circumstantial evidence on which to
base his case. The defense, it is said,
has a statement made by HamOn be-
fore he died, claiming that the pistol
wound which killed him, was self
inflicted.
The weapon used is missing, 1t 10 de-
clared, and the prosecution is minus the
suit Of clothes said to have been worn
by Hamon the night he was shot. The
suit OF clothes was sought as evidence.

morning train, which was searched did
not bring the woman. All roads lead

depends on foreign counties.
Europe in that respect is nucleus,
for unless Europe can buy Argentine
goods. Argentina cannot buy United
States products.
our ability to break the deadlock
depends on two things:
"First-On our mobilization for the
task and the degree to which we
can mobilize our financial resources,
and
'SocOnd--On EurOpe's ability to Gre
ate conditions which are prerequisite
for extension of credits on large
scale"

bert Hoover and John McHugh, New
York banker, that Europe must settle the
German indemnity i'm an intelligent way.
I'VE must have also an actual peace
restored" he said.
Warburg expressed the belief that the
corporation will be beneficial to farmers.
THE farmers should be behind the
corporation for it's effect viii be to help
setting idle hands In foreign countries

markets." he said

ABOLITION OF

Government Officials Cite Way
by Which Living Bill May
Be Lessened.
FAvORs DIRECT METHOD

WASHINGTON, Dec. u.-Approxi-
maseIy 5000, 10000 can be Topped from
the cost Of living bill Of the American
people In 1921 II Congress works along
right lines Of revising the tax laws, in
the opinion Of many government off,
Gals. Abolition Of the many indirect
taxes on business is the method which
viii affect the reduction, It is explained.
Indirect taxes are paid several times
by the consumer" said Commission Eth
ebert Stewart, OF the Bureau Of Labor
Statistics. Labor Department, today.
PRICES MULTIPLIED
TWO TO FTVEFOLD.
Approximately s.. 500 900, 600 was col
Iected by the Federal Government in
taxes for the fscalsyear ended June 80.
Most OF this came from indirect taxes,
such as the excess profit tax, tariff and
high surtax rates on income from bust
ness operations. For every dollar that
went into the Governments pocketbook
several others went into the pocketbook
of the business man who collected the tax
on the article he manufactured or dis
tributed, Government economists say.
According to their rule indirect taxes
multiply the prices Of most commodities
from two to fvefold.
The Federal Government this year must
collect at least $4,000, 900 900 in taxes, ac-
cording to Secretary Houston.
This means the American people must
pay from 5000, 100000 to SIS. 900. 900 900
in increased prices If indirect taxes are
maintained, 1t IS estimated One form Of
direct tax favored by some officials as a
means Of reducing prices is the general
tax on all sales proposed by some lead
ers.

"This would be much cheaper for the
consumer than the present tax system

tuary department. "a tax paid by the
consumer at the time Of purchase is not

Mccoy today pointed out that a 20 per
cent tax on undistributed profits Of cor
porations as proposed by Secretary Hous-
ton probably would be paid by the stock
holders rather than the corporation.
mo corporation would allow it's profits
