In the district court yesterday in the

to make the money available.
It appears from the, testimony"
the courtss opinion reads, that the,
defendant, Lawrence Larsen, before
leaving Office, accepted certificates Of
deposit for funds he had deposited
in various banks Of Burke county
and that they ran for various lengths
of time. the longest being to ,Decem-
Der 1922. Under the law. when
Lawrence Larsen went out Of office
and turned his Office and county mon-
eys over to his successor, his success
sor was not obliged to take certificates
of deposit unless he desired to accept
them In lieu Of money. This the in
coming treasurer refused to do. There
fore, Lawrence Larsen has not yet
turned over to the incoming treasurer
the funds with which he was charge
able. For this reason the action is
properly maintainable against him
As to whether mandamus will lie
against the bank for recovery Of
the funds is another question, which,
under the circumstances, the court
Is obliged to answer in the affirrna-

MAYOR DISLIKES
 P. U. c. POLICIES
of State Body That No As signments Would Be Made This
 Month Questioned by His Honor

: To the mind of O. F. Curtis. and others who have examined recent cor respondence of the Public Utilities Commission number of questions present themselves which, the mayor points out, can hardly raise the esteem with which the P. U. c. is held locally.
 Several weeks ago the city asked for a hearing on the transportation problem. A letter was received under date of July. 25 which explains that the commission will make no new as- signments or hold no hearings during the month of August, with the excep- ton of left over cases. The Connecti- cut Co. under date of July 29, four days after the letter was sent out by the P. U. C., asked for a hearing of the relaying of tracks on South Main stret, and the hearing was held last week. The petition was granted and the city notified of the fact Although the letter to the mayor stated that no assignments were to be made in August. the hearing on the New Brit ain- -Meriden jitney line was set for August IS, and notification sent to the city under date of August IS.

Various Opinions

Dublin, Aug. 16.-Summing up their impressions of the Dail Eireann meet ing today, political observers who have been closely following the Irish situation gavo these views:
 That the whole atmosphere of the meeting, including MT. De Valera's speech had given the impression that tke attitude created by the republican leaders reply to the British govern ment would be maintained, his speech suggesting that the reply already drafted by the Dail Eireann cabinet would show an unyielding position. That it would be endorsed unani- mously by the Dail Eireann they considered certainty.
 It was pointed out that while it had been understood the session begin hing today was called for considera- ton of the governments settlement offer the first days proceedings de- veloped chiefly further assertion of Irish independence and defiance of British authority.
 From the speeches delivered, their view was the impression might be gained that government claiming sole authority in Ireland was part of tho program in conception.
 The oath taken by the members, some Of the observers asserted. would have been called high treason in the old daye. In 1t the members swore not to yield voluntary support to the I~rpretended government authority and power within Ireland and to support and 44feAd the Irish republic and the VI se. tAAr

EUROPEAN PEACE IS

 ened Solidarity of Entente, Premier 1 Says.
ADDRESSES COMMONS TODAY

: London, Aug. 16.-Premier Lloyd George, speaking in the house of commons today concerning the last meeting of the allied supreme coun- cil declared that in many respects it was the most important since the declaration of peace. Questions were before it, he said, which menaced the solidarity of the entente.
 The unity of the allies MT. Lloyd George asserted, was a guarantee for the peace of Europe and it was matter of great qualification that at the end of the meeting a resolu- tion was passed, not merely that the alliance be continued but declaring the spirit of the alliance was as strong as ever.
 Silesian Question Grave One.
 The question giving the greatest anxiety the premier continued, was that of Upper Silesia which he said was in many respects one of the most dangerous and delicate yet raised. It never seemed to him a very difficult matter to settle the question on it's merits. geographical- ly, economically and statistically MT Lloyd George said, but the problem was complicated by. the introduction of other elements. There were large sections of French public opinion be- lieving that the taking away of the coal mines and iron works of Silesia from Germany was essential for the security of France he declared, but this he believed to be delusion.
