WASHINGTON, Dec. 10.-Increased faith of American governmental off, cials in the continuance of peace in Mexico is evidenced in a slight relaxa- ton of the regulations restricting the shipment of arms and ammunition into that country Rifles and ammunition commonly used by armies still are on the prohibited list. but it was learned today that shotguns, light rifles and others arms in the sporting class were being shipped across the inter national boundary in rather large quan- titles and with the consent of the state department
 The freer movement of firearms is 9 result of the joint action of the war department and the state department. During the war the American military authorities imposed restrictions upon the entry of trms of all sorts into a zone paralleling the Mexican frontier in order to make their filtration into Mexico more difficult. Removal re- gently of these restrictions has been followed by a more liberal issuance of permits by the state department to those wishing to send guns into Mex ico The embargo against the ship ment of war supplies into Mexico still
 is in force and it is understood will remain until the relations between Mexico and the United States are more satisfactorily adjusted

GEORGE STATES FOUR COUNTIES
 UNDER MARITAL
 LAW IN IRELAND
[RepubTIoan A. p. Leased wlrel

LONDON, Dec. 10-Martial law has been proclaimed by Dublin Castle over the city and county of Cork, the city and county of Limerick and the coun- ties of Tipperary and Kerry
 In an announcement made to the house of commons today, Premier Lloyd George declared 1t was the intention of the British government to put down the lawlessness which for months has been prevalent in Ireland. Dublin city and the county of Dublin. although they have been scenes of numerous affrays and of much vandalism, were not in cluded in the district which is placed under martial law, but MT. Lloyd George told the commons that if con ditions should warrant it, the inter dicted area would be extended. Under the proclamation, persons who without authority possess arms, or unauthorized uniforms, must surrender them within a certain period or lay l themselves liable to trial by court mar tial and the penalty of death
 The premier said he was convinced that in all sections of Ireland the ma jar1ty of the people were anxious for 1 peace and that the government like wise was desirous of peace and fair l settlement of the questions at issue 1 To this end, the premier asserted l that the government would treat with Sim Fein members of parliament who had not been involved in the commits sion of the serious crimes" These Sim Feiners, he added, would be afforded all protection The government how ever. would not grant safe conducts to London to such Sim Fein members of parliament as had been involved in the commission of serious crimes
 In expressing the determination ol the government to put down the dis orders in Ireland the premier declared it had no option but to continue tC
 intensity it's campaign against tho
 small but highly organized desperate
 minority in Ireland which was using
 murder and outrage in order to attair
 the impossible" and which could bring
 peace neither to Ireland nor to Grear
 Britain.
 The premier said that he regretted
 that the men who We knew were pro-
 noting murder have not given any in,
 dications that they are prepared to sur render on the only terms this country
 could possibly accept, consistent witt it's self respect or with the prospect O an enduring peace in Ireland; and tho government is determined to break III
 these terrorists, who are more or les: organized, because otherwise it is no
 thought possible for Ireland to recover
 that independence which is essentia
 for peace"
 Then referring to the intention |, : declare martial law in certain areas. tht premier said:

Senate Discusses
 Relief Measurs
 For Agriculture
[RepublIcan A. p. Leased Wirel


 WASHINGTON, Dec. 10-LegiSlation to provide relief for farmers confronted by falling prices occupied the greater part of the senate's time today and when adjournment was reached there was a general agreement that a vote would be taken tomorrow on the agri cultural committees resolution to re- vive the war finance corporation.
 The debate on the measure, led by Senators Dial Democrat, of South Car olina; Smith, Democrat, of Georgia; and Capper, Republican, of Kansas, brought forth no pronounced opposi- ton to the legislation and tonight Sena- tor Gronna, Republican, of North Da- kota, expressed confidence that the measure would be adopted
 Stimulation of agriculture through exports was declared by the speakers to be one of the principal reasons for urging revival of the war finance cor poration. Indirectly it would result in stabilizing conditions generally, it was added.
 "There is not a living market for farm products in the United States to- day" Senator Capper told the senate, adding that the closing of banks in North Dakota indicates that agricul- ture, our biggest business and the foundations of our wealth and pros perity, is close to demoralization and ruin" The banks were closed, he said, because they could not collect from the farmers who were unable to pay be- cause there was no market for their crops.
 We have gone about this thing of deflation all wrong" he continued "The I farmer has been made the goat SC often that it was thought he could be safely made the goat in this big de- l fIaton- He cannot carry it He will not carry it. He has said so and is stating so today

DISPOSITION IF
 GERMAN CABLES THREATENS SPLIT
 IN CONF FERENCE
TRepubIican A. p. Leased Wirel


 WASHINGTON, Dec. 10-Disagree- ment between the representatives of the principal allied and associated powers over the disposition of the former German cables is understood to have about reached a point threat ening disruption of the preliminary international communications confer ence which has been In session here for some weeks
 The United States. Great Britain and Italy are said to have reached an ac- cord on most of the principal points at issue, but France and Japan have re- fused to accede to the major propo- sals advanced by the United States and Italy and upon which the Amer ican and Italian governments insist
 Acting Secretary Davis of the state department chairman of the Amer ican commissioners to the conference, laid the whole matter before the sen ate foreign relations committee at a two-hour conference today behind closed doors. Chairman Lodge an- nounced later that the American prop osition had received the 'unoualified approval" of the committee. It was stated further that cooperation be- tween the state department and the senate committee on the question had been arranged for.
 So far as the United States is con- cerned, the principal issues are con trol of the cable lines centering at the Island of Tap, in the Pacific ocean, and a direct line between the United States and Italy. Italy is joining with
 the United States in insisting upon the direct cable between the two coun- tries.
 A p1enary session of the delegates to the communications conference scheduled for today was not held. it was said, because of the irnpossibility of reaching an understanding among the chiefs of the delegations of the five powers who met last night infor- mally in an effort to bring about Q 1 compromise.
 At this informal conference. it is l understood a proposal was brought | forward that instead of proceeding 1T l the attempt for the distribution of the | cables among the five powers, ar l agreement was reached for joint own | ership of the lines The United States 1 Great Britain and Italy are said tC | have supported this plan and France 1 and Japan to have opposed it In l ternationalization of islands such al l Tap. serving as the center for cable | communication, also is reported tC i have been brought forward at the in | formal meeting last night, but Japar | and France are said to have op- posed it.

One objection, the one most fre- quently heard, to the voting of an ad- ditionaI issue of $4,500.oO for the com has been to the application of the pro- ceeds of the bonds to an extension of the present contract with Twohy Bros. It is the belief of the objectors that materials and labor will be cheaper by the time the funds already on hand have been exhausted so that a lower bid could be secured.
 That objection is overcome in an opinion recently given by Walter Ben nett of Kibbey, Bennett & Jenckes, counsel for the highway commission, in which 1t is held that the additional proceeds from the sale of the bonds could not be applied but that another award would have to he made to the lowest bidder.
 The opinion follows:
 December s. 1920 To the Maricopa County Highway Commission, Phoenix. Arizona Gentlemen:
 l Replying to your verbal inquiry as to l whether in case the proposed highway bond issue of s4,500, ,o00.00 now adver- tised to be voted upon on December 31st, the money arising from the sale of such bonds must be used by the | Maricopa County Highway CommiS- sion to carry out and complete the road building program of A1aricopa county under the existing contract of l the Highway Commission with .Twohy B1 1others and which road building pro fram was authorized and approved by the qualified electors of the county at
 the election held to determine whether the bonds of the county to the amount Ike c 4 |.
 vide funds to construct such roads.
 This question is not without diff
 culty. 4 situation has arisen not con- teTnplated in the formation Of existing
 legislation and therefore not thereby
 specifically provided for
 At the time of passage and approval
 of the Highway Commission act (1Iarch 8, 1s17) and of it's amendment (1darch 20, 1919) it was evidently con
 templated by the legislature that only one bond issue by a county would ba
 needed to complete such road building
 program as should be submitted to the qualified electors for their approval
 at the time the proposition to issue ] bonds of the county for a definite . amount then deemed sufficient to com plete that program, was also sub l mitted- It was also. we think, contem- plated by the legislature that a con l Highway Commission for the construc- } ton of roads embraced within the road } building program referred to. and which should not obligate the county beyond the amount of the proceeds of
 the sale of the bonds authorized at the ' election approving the road building program
 We think the Highway Commission
 is limited in the making of contracts . oF ing program to the funds derived from the sale of bonds voted at the election } which approves the road building pro-
 gram for the carrying out of which l bonds are voted at such election. 5 It therefore follows that as the pres 2 r ent contract with Twohy Brothers must be limited to the expenditure of the funds derived from the sale of the s4, 900. .000.00 bonds of the county au-
 thorized to be issued and sold prior 10 . (Continued on Page Seven)

 Report for Year
TRepubIIcan A. p. Leased Wire1

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1o.-The ship ping board made public tonight a con- solidated balance sheet as of June 30, 1920, giving financial transactions of the board and the emergency fleet cor poration from their inception in 1917 to that date. It showed total habili- ties of s3,537 ,3s0.726.94 and assets of the same amount and it was the first complete financial statement to be is- sued by the agencies which built the great government owned merchant marine.
 The board apparently did not under take to show the total amount which had been expended and the fiscal of- ficials, when asked as to this amount said it could not be computed with any degree of accuracy because of the scheme of accounting in use in the early days of the board.
 Revenues from operations, sales of ships, etc, were given as $1,148,9 ,92S,15 and expenses as $1,662 294,294. Rev enues from operations of vessels were ss17. .271. .651 and expenses of the oper- ations $1,002, ,396, ,579, the apparent net loss from operation being S1S5,125,037

Trade Commission Would Prosecute
 Implement Trust


 WASHINGTON, Dec 10.-Institution of judicial proceedings against five organizations of farm implement man. ufacturers and dealers and reopening of the governments antitrust prose cution of the International Harvester company was recommended to con- gross today by the federal trade commission.
 The commission in a special report to the senate in response to a resolu- ton ordering an inquiry, asserted that during 1916-1S inclusive, more than 200 concerns manufacturing farm inn plements had combined to fix prices higher than the increased cost of manufacture and materials and that the dealers cooperating had made local agreements supporting the practices, all of which the commission alleged to be in restraint of trade.
 The International Harvester com pany, said the report, did not "enter the associations activities relative to price fixing on harvesting machinery" " but did enter as to other implements produced. The trade organizations against which court proceedings were | recommended are the National Imple- ment and Vehicle associations, the | Southern Association of Wagon Man ufacturers, the Carriage Builders Ma tional Association, all organizations of manufacturers, and the National Fed eration of Implement and Vehicle deal- CTS and the Eastern Federation oi ! Farm Implement Dealers, and Retail CTS associations.
 The commission charged that the implement makers. partly as a result of the alleged combination, had in- creased their net income for 1918, 15z per cent above the 1914 mark and profits on capital from nine per cent | to VI per cent while dealers prices had increased 62 per cent.

 TRADE URGED BY
 HERBERT HOOVER
Hundred Million Dollar Corporation Urged As Solution Of Financial Sit uation In America
IRepubIIean A. p. Leased WlreI


 CHICAGO. Dec. 10.-Organization of "a corporation to finance foreign trade. Co be backed by bankers, manufac- turers and merchants. was endorsed today by prominent speakers before a conference under auspices of the American Bankers association.
 The proposed corporation would be formed under the Edge law. with a capital of StO0.0O0,00 available to American producers as cash payment for their goods on which foreign buyers would be unable to pay cash.
 This foreign trade, speakers said, was necessary to the commercial pros ress Of the United States and some method of financing foreign trade must be worked out to enable Ameri- can manufacturers to take their place in world trade.
 Herbert Hoover. speaking before the afternoon session, declared that if the project were successful, today's confer cnce would have been the most mo- mcntous since the armistice.
 "You arc gathered here for the fun damental purpose of doing something practical i'm the solution of a financial situation by everyday means" Mir. Hoover said. You have a great prob lem. for our farmers today are suf- fering great losses and our workmen great unemployment. This is due, to a considerable degree. to the stagna- ticn in orders for our export surplus
 Prom this staEnation the consuming g power of our own home market is re- dpced and effects are accommodating upon US.
 'SWe must face the Issue that these economic ills arise from the vicious economic circles that can be broken in one way only and that by the es- tahlishment of credits abroad, not the dangerous short time credits in which we have already become over extended, but the long time investment in re- productive cnterprises.'

 Isn't it a fact that ten barrels of gin and 41 barrels of whisl1ey were withdrawn from a government warehouse without records being kept by the prohibition enforce ment authorities?" E. c. Yellowley, prohibition enforcement director for California, was asked by the defense.
 Yenowley replied that as he had been in office only a couple of months he had not yet become fla miliar with all the records and could not answer the question
 Two empty barrels were brought into court to be identified by Will liam A. Kelly, collector of internal revenue at Reno, Nevada, as those which had been found on the front lawn of Fred H. Anderson. a gov ernment witness, who testified yes terday that he took two barrels of whisl1ey furnished him by Brolaski to Reno in an automobile. Court recessed until Monday.
