Cabinet Post
To Democrat
Is Ru1norH Here

Circumstantial reports which only
G. Harding himself can
or deny are circulating in
that the President-elect
is going to appoint a prominent
Democrat to a Cabinet post The
name mentioned In connection with
those rumors is Franklin K. Lane
and the portfolio. the Secretaryship
of the Interior. from which Lane
resigned early in 1920. Stories of
Harding's determination to estab-
lish a bipartisan" administration
may be the outgrowth of his In
tention of consulting Democrats
among the "best minds" which are
Ching to take part in the, Marion
conferences next week. II win be
recalled that Senators Pomerene
t0hio), Reed (Missouri1, and Shields
(Tennessee). all Democrats, have
been invited to counsel with the
President-eIect on domestic and
foreign affairs.
Franklin X. Lane took no part
in the recent campaign. He ranked

nations issue, but has never been
active in the controversy.
Although a loyal coadjutor of
Woodrow Wilson in the Cabinet, the
former Secretary of the Interior
was notoriously at variance with
the President on various matters of
policy. Lane sympathized with
Robert Lansing's position in respect
of the secret" Cabinet meetings
episode and jokingly described HIM
self as an accomplice of Lansing In
that conspiracy" Even though the
Democratic Cabinet-officer report Is
bolstered up with the theory that
Harding would like to reward the
millions of Democrats" who voted
for him, especially in States like
Texas and Tennessee, Republican
leaders are inclined to scout the
story as a fairy-tale. Finally, Lane
is not in the best of health and left
public office for the purpose of re-
building his shattered private for

Widow Rests in Hotel Room
After Great Welcome When

NEW YORK. Nov. 4.-Mrs. MurieI
MacSwiney spent her first evening
in America. hidden away from the
thousands who welcomed her. visit
ing with only her relatives and
close friends in her suite at the st.
Regis Hotel tonight.
Mrs. MacSwiney was ill during
the entire voyage of the White Star
liner Celtic and spent most of her
time in her cabin. Passengers
aboard the boat said she appeared
only once in the dining saloon E
She will attend mass at st. Pat
rick's Cathedral. only a short dis
tance from the st. Regis. tomorrow.
A solemn crowd silently welcomed
Mrs. MacSwiney and her sister-in-
law, Miss Mary MacSwiney. as they
stepped from the liner at the dock
in the morning. She was the first
person down the gangplank and a
tired face as she looked upon the
hundreds of silent persons as they
stood holding Sim Fein banners.
A limousine decorated in the col
ors of the Irish Republic" was
"
mobiles slid into line as her ma
chine glided away from the water
front and started for Fifth avenue.
All along the line of march mo-
torcycle patrolmen had trouble
holding back crowds. Hundreds of
marchers carrying Sim Fein ban
nsrs Joined in the procession.
At the Union Club, just beyond
"a
miniature riot was staged Thanks
giving because of exhibition of a
British flag, many in the crowd
hissed and pointed their Sim Fein
emblems at some members who
gathered at the windows.
Mrs. MacSwiney will probably
stay in New York until Tuesday
night, when she will leave fol
Washington, appearing before the
unofficial commission on Wednes'
day.

ASKSFEDERAL
CONTROL
Begg Says D. c. Tenements
Rank in Class of Public
Utilities.

Representative James T. Begg, of
Ohio. has prepared a resolution
which he will intrqduce tomorrow
when Congress corvenes, barring
the eviction Of any tenants in the
District OF Columbia for a. period
Of six months The measure also
provides for a stay of judgments or
the execution of judgments in land
lord-tenant cases previously rem
dered for that period.
The, object of the resolution.
Begg explained. is to prevent seri-
Gus difficulties in the housing sit
uation In the District pending de-
cision by the United States Supreme
Court on the validity Of the Ball
Rent Act.
Begg holds that the apartment
house business has developed to
such an extent that IL should be
classed as a public utility.
Apartment house owners" said
Begg, have placed themselves in
the same class as the street rail-
ways, and the water, electric and
gas companies. We regulate the
charge for these utilities as well
as that of banking institutions and
there is no reason why the apart
ment house business should not be
regulated.
"A home is just as essential "a
the welfare of the community as
food is for the family. The owner
ship of apartment houses is no more
sacred nor private than the owner
ship of street railways. Not one
apartment house in Washington
would be worth 10 cents on the
dollar IL il was not for the fact
that the Capitol Of the United States
is located in this city.
These apartment houses are al
erected to care for the transient
citizens Of the country who come e
Washington. For that reason tn,
apartment house becomes q public
utility and as such should be sub.
ject to regulation by the govern
ment."

Brown Scott. secretary of the Car

II the international court is a
success, he declared. 1t will be be-
cause of the influence of American
experience with the bench as laid
down in no less than 300 cases in

Assistant Dean Hugh J. Fegan.

tant in the United States.

Observes 50th Birthday
In Great Reunion.

Alumni of Georgetown University.
from the oldest grad" to present
day seniors, last night took first
steps to bring their alma mater into
the front rank of colleges in the
country. In the course Of the
Golden Jubilee celebration. nov
being held to ceieprate the fftieth
anniversary of the founding Of the
law school, plans have been mace
to unite the 5000 alumni into one
monster betferment and booster
committee.
Forty-eight graduating classes.
dating from 1879 onward. are repre-
sented at the reunion and impetus
was given the booster movement m
the formal opening of the new law
library rendered to the school by
Dean George E. Hamilton.
Registration of alumni empha-
sized the fact that the law school
is an all-American institution, each
of the forty-eight States being rep
resented in the gathering of nearly
a thousand former graduates, rep
resenting the bench and bar, that
crowded the new labrary to it's ca
pacity.
Practically every court in the Dis
trict was represented at the reunion
exercises, besides the eight distin-
guished alumni upon whom the uni
versity will confer the honorary de-
gree of doctor of laws at the
academic exercises tomorrow after
noon.
Joseph A. Cantrel. of New Jersey
speaking on behalf of the student
body. struck a popular keynote
when he declared it was no more
coincidence that the fiftieth ami.
versary of the Georgetown Law
School founded upon the principle.
of Democracy, should fall in the
same year that witnessed the fina
triumph of those principles of gov.
ernment over world autocracy.
DistinGuished Faculty.
Dean George E. Hamilton, in ten.
dering the new library of 1900
volumes to the school, praised TIL,
record of the institution which ha,
grown into the biggest law schoo
years of existence. Three justices O.
the U. s. Supreme Court, he declared
have served its faculty which 4.
composed of more jurists than tn,
faculty of any other law school IL
\ the country. The Supreme Cour
7, justices were Justice Field, Justic,
Miller and Justice Brown, whose m,
fiuence he said served to win ma
tional recognition for the institu
| tion.
The Rev. John B. Creeden. S. ],
president of the university, who ac
cepted the library on behalf of thu
! directors, declared 1t was hoped t.
develop it into ne of the most i'm

LONDON, Dec. 4.-Rumors of i'm
pending peace in Ireland few thick
and fast here tonight
Prime Minister Lloyd George,
from behind the barricades and
bayonets that, guard his residence
at historic No. 10 Downing street,
was reperted to be conducting
quiet. unonicisl negotiations with
Sim Fein leaders. seeking aNbasis
for peace.
The premier. it is understood. is
holding out for an absolute cessa-
ton of attacks on British forces in
ireland before there are any open
peace proceedings. This would vim
dicate his Irish policy. supporters OF
the ministry declare, and greatly
strengthen the governmsnt's posi-
ton.
Lack OmciaI Confirmation.
Lloyd Georges reported dicker-
ings with the Sim Fein were with
out any official confirmation what
ever, and IL was believed that IL
they came to naught. nothing off,
cial or serhioff1cial ever would be
permitted to leak out concerning
them.
Belief that there is something in
the wind" however, was bolstered
up by a dispatch from Dublin this
afternoon, reporting that the GAL
way County Council-all Sim Fein
had passed a resolution request
ing the Irish parliament to appoint
three delegates to negotiate truce
with British forces, to be followed
by an honorable peace.
One report in circulation was that
Arthur Griffith, head of the Sim
Fein. who was arrested in a recent
raid. would be asked to guarantee

cent roundup" of Sim Fein chiefs
throughout ireland would be liber-
ated IL they promised to restore or
der and abide by the decisions of
the proposed peace tribunal.

ireland was quiet. but whether be-
cause there was a prospect Of a
''Christmas peace" or because the

the qui vive tonight, fully expecting
another massacre of British officers

Dispatches from Ireland said the
British were continuing to ar
rest Sim Fein leaders and that
