nothing. The police learned that an
automobile containing five men

drove away.
Meehan, the police say, had a long
criminal record and specialized in

Washington, March 31--Peace with
Germany through adoption Of a Joint
resolution declaring the war at an
end was put squarely before Congress
today by Republicans in control of
the House.
Framed by Republican members of
the foreign affairs committee and
backed by party leaders the measure
was thrown into the hopper with as
little ceremony as if it had been a
bridge bill. but instantly there de-
veloped demand for speedy action.
A move to jam it through the House
Friday took shape, but Democrats
finally obtained an agreement to
postpone consideration until Monday.
While trying to work out a resoiu-
ton to suit all factions Of their
party, Republican committeeman had
arranged to call it up Friday, remem-
bering that it was on Good Friday
three years ago that war was de-
clared.

This case was brought by Piper

death and the story is told that she
has child of which BARLEY is sup
posed to be the father. 1t is said
that a picture of this child was found
among his private papers in the
safe. After this suit was filed, Rose
Netto. through her attorney, filed a
motion for leave to intervene which
motion has been withdrawn and
the Home Life Insurance Company

available it seems doubtful if coun-

number of liquor cases to be heard
but perhaps the most important of
these is the one against Joseph

before the grand jury and as he is
an old offender in close touch with

Mr. Daniels, Admiral Fiske said, paid
TOO much attention to details and did

broad questions Of plans and policies.
The secretary was particularly solicit

men. the officer asserted, and naval Of
rcers generally felt that he attached
undue Importance to the comfort of the
men and carried his efforts, to "democ-
ratize the navy" to an extreme.
Secretary Daniels was deeply and
sincerely interested in the welfare of
the men. Admiral Fiske said. adding
That he opposed Mr.. Daniels plan for

he thought the system would take too
much time from the military training

Plain Words and People of U. s.

Washington, March 31-Herbert
Hoover's declaration that under Ger.
tain circumstances he might accept
the Republican Presidential nomina
ton was discussed briefly today ir
the Senate. Senator Mcclellan Demo-
crat, Tennessee, criticized Mr.. Hoov-
er's statement on economic problems
and Senator Ashhurst, Democrat
Arizona, defended the former admin
istrators.
The Republicans generally re-
Trained from joining in the discus

during the war had so charmed
Congress that the American wheat
farmers had lost $4,000, 900. 900.
Senator Mcclellan said Hoover was
''eliminated' as a Democratic posi-
hility but Senator Ashhurst declared
he still might be nominated by the
Democrats and warned Senator Nc
kellar against criticism which he
might later wish to withdraw.
Referring to Hoover as "once the
active candidate of two parties, now
of one only, Senator Mcclellan read
from Hoover's suggestion to remedy
labor problems and said he was ut

Efforts were made by the painters
committee after they had received the

the painters considered reasonable
