LONDON. September 14.-The dali
eireann. in session at Dublin today,
approved its cabinets reply to Prime
Minister Lloyd Georges latest pro-
posals and ratified the appointment
Of five delegates to possible con-
ference" with Representatives of
Great Britain. From what little can
be ascertained here, however, the
reply. which has not yet been made
public. is reported not to have met
with the approval of Mr.. Lloyd
George.
The hurried return to,Dublin of the
Sinn Fein cduriers who delivered the
reply to Mr.. Lloyd George in Gairloch,
Scotland. last night caused much
speculation. and we'll informed cir
cles here took this to indicate that
the reply did not comply with the
British governments stipulation that
ireland must remain within the en-
pire. No word came from Gairloch.
but the turn in events has caused some
pessimism both here and, in Dublin.
There is another version Of the
latest exchanges. however, which de.
c1ares that the Sim Fein scouriers
only went to, Gairloch to clear up
some points for the dali cabinet pre-
liminary to the proposed conference
and that Mr.. Lloyd George explained
these to the Irish emissaries.
. AS the couriers cannot reach Dub
lin before tonight the publication of
the reply seems improbable before
Thursday, or possibly Friday.

ment Of fplenipotentiaries to the pro-
posed conference at InvernesS with

settlement Of the Irish question was
approved by the dan eireann, at its
session here today. -,
The appointments approved follow:
Arthur Grinith, founder OF the sim

Michael Collins, finance minister.
Robert c. Barton. who has been one
Of the leading. figures in the prelim-
mary negotiations.
Eamon J. Duggan. Sim fein men,

in the arrangement of the Irish truce.
George Gavan Duffy. who has acted

Mr.. Lloyd George. the British prime
minister, regarding Irish peace nego-
tiations.
In View Of Conference.
The dairs official b1lletin. announc-
ing approval of the five plenipotenti-
aries. says this was done I'm view OF
a possible conference with representa-
tives of the British government"
The dali plenipotentiaries. it was
explained, were not appointed to go
to Inverness in response to the prime
minister's invitation, but have been
chosen to carry on possible negotia-
tions which may or may not follow
the receipt by Mr.. Lloyd George OF
the dali cabinets reply.
The appointment of the plenipoten-
tiaries is considered in political quar-
for any breach. in the negotiations on
the prime minister.
Reports circulated in we'll posted
circles today are that Mr.. Lloyd
George indicated to the Sinn Fein
couriers conditions which, it was
considered, might involve such a
breach.
Hear Premier's Explanation.
Harry Boland and Joseph McGrath
the couriers who on Monday went to
Gairloch, Scotland. to bear Mr.. De
valeraS inquiries regarding the
terms laid down in the prime minis
ter's latest note to- the republican
leader, were expected to arrive here
during the day. They were believed
to have received from Mr.. Lloyd
George explanations of certain points
of his proposals and these were to be
submitted to the parliament.
Utterances in Sim Fein circles had
indicated that the partition of Ireland
was one of the principal stumbling
blocks to the carrying on of the ne
gotiations. but there was no indica-
ton that the recently constituted
government of Ulster had altered its
policy of standing aloof.
Col. Maurice Moore. commander of
the national Irish volunteers, today
suggested as solution of Irish contro- :
versy an agreement on the lines OF
the old dual monarchy in Austria
Hungary. Under such an agreement
he said, England and Ireland would
be separate. Kingdoms under the same
king. George Y neither having the
right to interfere directly or indi-

for England on the, advice of his
English ministers and for ireland on

point a viceroy he would be chosen

ORBISON GOT 3
QUARTS WHISKY
FOR HIS WORK


shown by the complete" file which
Orbison made public The order for this
quart was issued Nov 10. and repre-
scented that the whisky was for Capt.
D. H. Olive, father of Frank Olive.
Another interesting Dear Jerry let
ter in the police file which does not
appear in the Orbison file, discloses that
Dr. W. II. Bobbitt of indianapolis, OBJ
talned one pint Of whisky to be used
for sterilizing instruments" The letter
shows that Bobbitt desired alcohol, but
was willing to take whisky as equally
as good"
Still another order which Orbison
failed to disclose is one issued TO Ralph
Finegold, prohibition enforcement
agent, on Sept 4. This was for one pint
OF whisky to be used by Mrs. Sarah
Finegold, his mother, and in addition to
the pints he obtained for the use Of his
sister.
The most interesting order on file
with the police which was not disclosed
by OrbsOn is one written in Orbison 5
handwriting on a plain sheet of white
paper on Dec. p. 1t directs Dear Jerry
to deliver to Z. G. Hargitt one quart
Of whisky for Mr.. Sentry of Bloom
ington, Indiana" The writing is in
marked contrast with that on several
other orders written in longhand by Mr..
Orbison and is difficult to decipher.
The police file also discloses that Z.
a. Davis, an inspector attached to Or
blson's office, issued a Dear Jerry" let
ter on Feb. - in favor Of DR.. Foxworthy,
for two pints Of whisky, which was
filed Lieutenant Forsythe states that
this was the first and only order for
whisky signed by any one else than Or
bison which was honOred by the pO-
lice
