STATE DEPARTMENT
MAY MAKE INQUIRY

Washington, March 2s.--The
state department, 1t was inttmated
tcday will probably inquire OF
Great Britain whether she made a
treaty with Turkey In April OF last
year for the purpose OF permitting
the Sultan to remain in CONSTANT
nople In return for British control
OF the Dardanelies.
The text Of the supposed secret
agreement was contained In an ex-
elusive report from Berlin by Karl
III. WieEand, Universal Service Staf1
correspondent at the German capt.
tai. and was referred to state de-
partmant officials today No COM
ment was forthcoming for pubiica-
ton.
In diplomatic circles today the
idea wa1 advanced that X Great
merely repeating history IA - -
10 II that whatever happened she
would be secure, and her interests
Eafegltarded. The treaty was also
regarded a. the fourth OF the series
OF deceptions practiced on the
president.
The first tbs pact Of London
about which he knew nothing and
was told nothing until long after
the peace conference was under
way, and the second Was the ia
paneSe treaties with China. OF
these, England also was aware, but
her statesmen did not take Presi-
dent Wilson into their confidence.
The third WAS the recent at
tempt OF Great Britain and France
to settle the Fiume question secret
Iy with Italy. This attempt. was
halted only after the president
threatened to withdraw the United
States from all the affairs of
Europe

Fowler bill repeating the New York
state daylight saving law was passed
tonight by the state senate by vote

This is the first step taken by the

confusion and hopeless muddle which

bill In the assembly tomorrow night
by similar slim majority was pre-
iicted tonight. Should the governor
sign the bill the state will return TO

Tho Fowler bill as passed, how
ever, does not nullify the daylight

Further evidence that many persons
had been overlooked nthe 1870 CEN
sus in Richmond was brought forth
yesterday when policemen in every
precinct Ia the city unearthed' names OF
people who had never received visit
from Uncle Sans tabuiators-
In the First District alone almost a
thousand names were added to the list
last night. In the second precinct a
great number of names were also
added, while In the Third Police Dis
trict, which embraces South Rich
mond, several hundred names were
added. The total OF new names added
yesterday was not made known. but Is
believed thatsthe police have found at
least $500 people in the last three days
who; had not been included in the CEN
sus.
ACTIVE POLICEMEN.
Chief c. A. sherry has been super
wishing the work. while Lieutenant
Archie Holt and Frank Campodonico

licemen. The squad Is expected 10

ably add total OF ten thousand names
to the census.
Continual calls from every section OF
the city reached the census bureau
yesterday. stating that they had been
overlooked if the census. One case
came to hand of railroad conductor
on the Southside whose section had
never been visited by the census
takers Other cases where entire city
blocks have been overlooked were
made public. while other sections
where no children under IL years OF
age had been included was brought to
light.
Every industry. as well as the
schools, colleges and churches are
lending every aid to have Richmond's
census include its entire population,
The railroads have sent out circular
letters to every department head re-
guessing that every man be inter-
viewed as to whether he has been
visited by the census takers

thousands under it's true figure and
that retaking Of the census Will be

London, March 29.-Pale and
haggard, bowed down by the
burden Of anarchy in Ireland
for which he is nominally re-
sponsible, to the rest of the
British empire, Jan MacPher-
son, chief secretary for Ireland,
in the house of commons this
afternoon moved the second
reading of the bill partitioning
Erin upon a dual parliamen.
tary basis.
The crowded house did not expect
a brilliant opening OF the debate
which Is destined to become historic
and the opening was far from bril-
jamin OF the cabinet. and who for
months has resisted his strong per-
sonal inclination to quit because he
felt bound to support Premier Lloyd
George during this crisis, confined him
self to bald recital OF the already
known details OF the measure.
He declared Irish secession from
the Empire would be suicidal and.
would never be tolerated. Treiand's
prosperity was entirely due to the
country's connection with the en-
pire, he asserted.

Lord Robert Cecil denounced the bill
because. he said. 1t was not backed by
