Prospects for Irish Settlement
Good, Says Lloyd George.
By EDWARD w. PIcKARp.

Congress is on the job again, with
plenty OF work to do and the prospect
Of not getting a great deal of II done
before March 4, with the exception of
appropriation legislation and the pos
sible passage Of bills for the creation
of budget and the restriction Of
immigration. President-elect Harding,
who occupied his seat in the senate
for day or two, urged upon his col
-~<fgues the need of quick and nom
partisan work, and intimated that an
extra session would be called soon
after his Inauguration.
President Wilson was DESTROYS Of
appearing in person before congress
to deliver his message. but was dis
suaded at the last minute by his ply
siclans and the document was read by
the clerks. In his opening generaliza-
tons Mr.. Wilson said autocracy was
again to the fore in Europe, and that
II was up to the United States to
save democracy by giving an example
OF its successful operation, enacting
and enforcing just laws and standing
for right and Justice as toward indi-
vidual nations" Aside from domestic
matters he made just two specific rec
concentrations. The first was that a
large loan be made to Armenia, the
money to be expended under the SUI
pervIsion Of an American commission.

where the Russian Reds are now In
almost complete control and have set

dent also advised that complete indie
pendence be granted at once TO the
Philippines. This, too, will be opposed
by many congressman who do not
agree with Mr.. Wilson that the people
Of the islands have succeeded in main
tanning a stable government. Prob
ably most of our lawmakers would be
glad to get rid of the Philippines how

that we should guarantee their indie

institution OF rigid economy in gov
eminent expenditures, better care for

fication OF the tax laws and protection
for the agricultural industry-all OF
which meets the approval Of most If
the people.
The message made no mention OF
the League Of Nations, but the predic-
ton was made in Washington that Mr..
Wilson would lay the treaty and cove
nant before the senate again, I'M
changed. and would continue the fight
for ratification up TO the moment OF
his retirement from the White House.
and afterward as private citizen.
Another matter which he omitted from
his message was the restriction or
stoppage Of immigration. This was
taken by some TO mean that II con
gress passed a drastic act he would
veto II.

Despite the knowledge that the res

Greek cabinet sent word TO the for

Withdrawal from the League Of Ma

cation caused a lot Of talk, in Geneva
and elsewhere, but II didn't disrupt
the gathering by any means. Indeed,
Pueyrredon and his colleagues found
they had put themselves In a rather
ridiculous position and the chief re-
tired to Paris. disappointed but still
defiant. Their argument that proposed
amendments to the covenant should be
discussed and acted on at this session
was upheld by the Scandinavians and
certain others, but their action In quit

approved by anyone, and was attacked

portation and health matters, and to

reau's budget for the coming year is
100000 gold francs, and Mr.. Rowell
protested that nations like Canada

the three proposed commissions would

Affairs in ireland continued to oc-
cupy much of the attention OF the
English-speaking world. AS the week
closed the prospects for a settlement,
according to Lloyd George, were much
better than they appeared on the sur
face. This the premier said after he
had conferred with Mgr. Patrick
Clune, archbishop of Perth, who had
been acting as his Intermediary and
consulting with Sim Fem leaders. II
was said the bishop had conveyed to
Lloyd George a message from Michael
Collins. commander Of the Sim Fem
army. which presumably contained the
Irish terms for settlement or at
least a truce. Father O'Flanagan Of
Roscommon, acting president Of Sim
Fein, also sent a message to the pre-
mier concerning a truce. and the cabi-
net. considering this, was reported to
have decided on a reply embodying
these terms: mo amnesty, no repub-
lie, and a cessation from the present
campaign of outrage and murder"
Sir Horace Plunkett, chairman OF
the Dublin peace convention, sailed
for New York to appear before the
American committee of inquiry. and
before starting said: 81 see no hope
of a truce In Ireland nor any hope In
the overtures reported in the press.
There cannot be peace while there Is
frightfulness on both sides. In my
judgment the British government IL
blamable."
The American committee heard one
of its star witnesses. Mrs. Terence
MacSwiney, widow OF the lord mayor
of Cork, whose appearance before II
was very interesting though probably
her views on the Irish problem are
given an exaggerated value. She was
preceded by her sister-in-law, Miss
Mary MacSwiney. who told long
story Of the wrongs of her country.
and freely admitted that in 1916 Ire
land turned TO Germany for arms and
would have accepted from that nation
all the help IT could get. This she jus
tilted by the assertion that Ireland
was "at war with England" Because
of that "war" she defended all the

diers, while I'm the same breath she
denounced the killing of lrishmen by

State Utilities Adds IS Per Cent to
Cost Of Steam In Aledo-To

City Attorney Robert L. Watson
has received notice from the Illi-
nois state utilities commission to
the effect that an order has been
entered granting permission to the
Illinois Northern Utilities company
to increase heating rates in this
city approximately rs per cent
The order includes a provision that
the electric plant be maintained In
this city.
Hope had been entertained by
the heat consumers Of this city
that the increased rate would be
denied, as it is claimed that heat
ing rates here are already Eore
than they should be. With the
question settled this late in the
season there is little that the local
people can do except pay the
charges, as it is too late to with
draw and install private heating
plants.
The utilities commission. in or
dering the Illinois Northern COM
pany to maintain the standby cleo
trio plant here, ruled that the fact
that electrical service in Aledo is
supplied from Rock Island does
not lessen the responsibility in
taking care Of the consumers in
case of breakdowns in Rock Island
or along the country lines.

Claud Baker, formerly a tenant
of Mrs. Blanche Tadewald, 430
Nineteenth street, East Moline. was
fined SO and costs on charge Of dis
orderly conduct following dispute
which took more than two hours
to settle in the court of Justice Dan
Maskell this morning.
The trouble seemed to have
started over general hard feelings
between Mrs. Tadewald and her
tenants, Mr.. and Mrs. Baker. The
Bakers moved out, but left few
articles in their rooms with the I'M
derstanding that they would return
later and claim them.
Mr.. Baker returned for his be-
longings and while collecting them
became insulting, the plaintiff al
leges, to Mrs. Tadewald. She
threatened him with a rolling pin
and finally drove him from the
premises. After more pickering be-
tween Mrs. Tadewald and Mrs
Baker, both parties swore out war
rants. Disorderly conduct charges
against Mrs. Tadewald were dis,
missed.

OVER MILLION IS
SPENT BY STATE
FOR BUILDINGS

Springfield, Ill. - Contracts
amounting to more than 100000
have been awarded by the state de-
partment of public works and
buildings for excavation and con-
struction of foundations for the
central group hospital to be con-
structed in Chicago on the former
baseball grounds near the Cook
County Hospital. The buildings
when completed are expected to
cover nearly ten acres.
Additional appropriations will be
asked to construct the super
structures.
The hospital is being erected as
the result of a working agreement
between the state department of
public welfare and the University
of Illinois. The plan is for the
medical school Of the university in
clinical work and the state chart
ties to be of mutual service.
Buildings to be erected immed-
lately are the Illinois state eye and
ear infirmary, children's surgical
institute, a psychopathic institute
a clinical institute and the general
clinic group of the university These
buildings. however, it is said, will
be scarcely more than nucleus for
the ultimate development.
Structures are collegiate in ar
chitectural style and are designed
to compare favorably with any
other university group In the
country.

CAREI.ESSNESS
ALMOST STOPPED
PREVENTION DAY

Springfield, Ill.-Carelessness of
one workman at Streator almost
spoiled the fire prevention day rec
ord Of the entire state Of Illinois.
Three hours after midnight had
rung down the curtain upon the
most successful observance OF the
day in the history Of Illinois, he
used a match in the stock room OF
large factory where an electric
fash should have been used. A
nalf hour later a $4,000 loss was
recorded.
The loss in the whole state on
ere prevention day. as so far re-
ported to State Fire Marshal John
G. Gambler. was $3.50. as compar-
ed with general daily average of
ISL .236,70. indicating that appeals
for carelessness and "no-fre"
day must have been pretty well
needed. The record in Chicago was
G. $4,000 loss. Downstate nine fires
and a loss Of $3.50 were reported.
This. may be increased by belated
reports. but not materially.
