Special Dispatch to The Tribune

MONTREAL, Feb 27--Thc four
course cold luncheon served on the
top of Mount Royal in honor Of the
flying visit of the Prince Of Wales in
September last cost the city si,9OS.75,
exclusive Of wines This is the amount
which the Administrative Commission
have finally agreed TO pay to A. Joyce,
caterer, on his account, which formerly
amounted to about $4,000.
The luncheon was served to one hun
dred people, and it was claimed by the
city that the arrangement made verb
ally with the contractor was that the
lunch should be about s. per head.
When the bill came in, however, it was
found that the repast had been charged
for at the rate of s. plate, not only
for the hundred guests but also for
the score or more detectives and city
police, who consumed what was left
after the royal visitor and his CO.
diners had departed.
The caterer also claimed several
ware and cutlery, glasses and orna-
ments, etc., that were either broken
or stolen by souvenir hunters. who
rushed on the tables Immediately the
prince had gone. The caterer main
tanned that this was the cty's fault
in not having a proper guard on duty.
For the last five months the matte =
has been under negotiation, the result
of which is that the caterer will re-
celve check for $l,9O875. which
works out fraction over SIS plate
for the invited guests, exclusive Of the
wine bill.

Sinn Feiners Abandon
Stand for Separation
Irish Radicals Now Willing te
Accept Dominion Home
Rule. Is Report
Special Dispatch to The Tribune


MONTREAL, Feb. 27.-Harry N.
Moore, spondent Of "The Mon
treal Star" cables his paper as follows
from Dublin:
"De Valera and other Sim F6n lead
ers are prepared to accept a scheme for
dominion home rule, with q constitu-
ton based on the Canadian plan, ac-
cording to prominent Sim Feiners.
Anything less will be refused unhesi-
tatingly. Even complete separation is
not now seriously considered by the
real heads. The only danger is they
may be forced to maintain the republi-
can idea because followers who are
enamored of it may refuse to allow
them to depart from it.
"1t is certainly fact that the con-
tinued policy of repression is forcing
hundreds OF lrishmen previously Ma
tlonalists into the ranks Of the rabid
elements of the present government.
"Though only few people are az
fected by the new curfew order, the
latest restriction upon personal lib
erty is widening the breach and max
ing more impossible a likelihood OF
reaching a complete understanding. The
restrictions are also encouraging acts
Of reprisal. That the danger of con-
tinued murders of the police is far
from lessened by the order is shown
by the steadily increasing designations
from the force which are taking place
daily"

Cities Assured Daylight

New York Will Face 81. 500, 600
Milk Boost, Dairymen's
Leacue Asscrfs

Residents of cities and towns in New
York will enjoy the benefit of daylight
saving this year regardless Of the fate
OF the pending state daylight saving bill
Ihis announcement was made yesterday
by William A. Ferguson, secretary Of
the National Daylight Saving Associa-
ton.
Mr.. Ferguson said the municipalities
IN the state would operate on the ad-
vanced time, being the last Sunday in
March. That this change would result
IN serious losses to farmers, he declared
to be untrue.
"Opponents of daylight saving have
succeeded in having the repeal bill ia
Committee of the Assembly," he said
but doubt if they can muster sutri
cient votes to force the repeal. Even if
they do we take it for granted Governor
Smith will veto the measure, since he
already Is on record as favoring the re-
form"
statement issued during the day by
the Dairyman's League declared that the
milk consumers of New York City will
have to pay an addition of $2,500,0O0 a
year on their milk bill if daylight saving
holds. 1t is argued that this will be the
additional cost of labor to the farmer if
he is forced to do his milking an hour
earlier each day.
