Royalty viii Not Open
North Irish Parliament
Lloyd George May Preside at
Ceremony in Belfast on June
Z: Economy LRlrS Are Treed

BELFAST, Ireland, May % (By The
Associated Press) Sir James Craig,
Premier Designate for Ulster, has gone
to London to arrange the details of the
ceremony attending the opening of the
new Northern Parliament on June 7.
The Ulster Uhionists still express the
hope that either King George or the
Prince of Wales will formally open the
proceedings, and decry the "exag-
gerated" idea the people of England
have concerning conditions in the six
Ulster counties, which the English be-
lieve would make it dangerous for roy
atty to visit this country
The Unionists, however, probably will
have to be satisfied with some lesser
dignitary, among those mentioned be-
ing the Prime Minister, Lloyd George 4;
the Viceroy, Viscount Fitzalan, or even
Sir f.. Clarke, the Viceroy's representa-
tive in Ulster.
The ceremony will be held in the Bel,
fast City Hall, one of the finest edfices
in Ireland. 1t is big stone building
occupying a comm anding site. The in
terror is finished in Italian, Greek and
Irish marble, with fine memorial win
dows and some of the finest modern
oak carvings. The Council Chamber is
quite large enough to hold the whole
forty members who will sit in the Par
lament and then leave room for the
Nationalists and Sim Feiners, should
they change their minds and attend the
Parliament sessions, which every
Unionist believes in time they will do.
There will be two women in the new
Parliament, Mrs. McMordie, wealthy
widow, who has taken prominent
part in municipal affairs and who was
elected for South Belfast, and Mrs.
Chichester, who was elected from
Derry. Both are Unionists
The Cabinet, it is predicted, will
probably be composed of Sir James
Craig, Premier; II. M. Pollock, Chan
cellor of the Exchequer; j, M. Andrew,
Minister of Labor; Hugh O'Neill. son
of Lord 0'Neill, Speaker of the Assem-
bly,; Thomas Moles, Deputy Speaker
and Chairman of Committees; Sir D.
Bates, Home Secretary, and j. M. Bar
bour. Minister of Commerce.

Italy Gives Red Mission
Two Months Immunity

MILAN, May 27.--The Russian Boil
shevik trade mission that came to Italy
to negotiate comp1erciaI treaty has
given up It's announced intention Of
dropping it's work and retu rntng to
Russia. Count Sforza, Italian For
eign Minister, to-day called in M. Va
rowsky, head of the mission, and CON
vjnced him that his announced reason
for going home so unceremoniouslS'
was unjustified. His reason was that
the diplomatic privileges of the mis-
sion had been defed when the Italian
authorities opened its luggage and
took out lot of jewels that had not
been declared to the customs officials.
Count Sforza recalled that in the
Anglo Russian treaty negotiated recent
ly in London there was clause giving
the Soviet representatives immunity in
England after the treaty was signed.
The issue in that case was then, the
Foreign Minister said, whether Krassin
and his aids should sign or get out.
Count Sforza said that if Vsr0wsky
would stay and finish up the treaty he
was working on he would arrange for
two months of immunity for the Rus
sian mission. Varowsky was to agree
to finish and sign the treaty before the
end Of July If he didn't fulfill this
undertaking his immunity would cease
automatically.
There was nothing for Varowsky to
do but accept this plan and give as
surances that he would carry it out.
He told the Foreign Minister he didn't
think it Would take more than one
month to finish the treaty.

Harris Must Reimburse

Adjutant Cenerfl Ordered to
Refund Printing Cost After
Clerks Charges

WASHINGTON, May 2S.-As a result
of the publication of charges against
Major General Peter c. Harris, adiu
tant general of the army, by Robert ]
Quinn, a clerk in the Adjutant Gen
erals Office, which caused the latter's
dismissal, Secretary of War Weeks TO-
day directed General Harris to refund
to the United States Treasury a sum
sufficient to cover the cost to the gov
ernment of printing a booklet com
memorative of the generals son, killed
in France.
Part of Quinn's defense for attacks
he made in his magazine, The Reclassi-
feationist, was that General Harrjs had
used the Government Printing Office
for personal work in connection with
the preparation of the booklet on his
son.
Secretary Weeks said General Harris
had caused the type to be set in the
War Department printing Office and
that. while the total expense probably
would not exceed $40 or $12, it was
manifestly improper for a government
official to use official material an
equipment for such purpose. No ac-
tion would be taken, the Secretary add
