Hope Yet Remains
To Ratify Treaty

Dublin, Dec. 20. (By the Associated
Press) 10 compromise
between the opponents and advocates
of the Anglo-Irish treaty in the Dali
Eireann has yet been attained, frs:
future plans designed to avoid wreck
ing the agreement are being consid,
cred.
1t is generally recognized now that
Eamon De Valera was right in stat
ing that the Dali has no power to rat
ify the treaty. The treaty itself pre-
scribes the mode of ratification to be
by the, members elected to sit in the
.hsuse Of commons Of southern Ire
land, which was constituted under the
home rule act of 1920, but which ac-
tually never met and which, except
for the purpose of ratifying the
treaty, probably never will meet. Its
membership is nearly but not quite
the same as that of the Dali.
The Dali includes some members
from northern Ireland and excludes
four southern parliament members.
The idea is that after the Dali ap-
proves of the treaty, which it is ex-
pected to day by a comparatively
small majority, the ratifiying body
named in the treaty shall be summon
ed. The Dali members who are dis
satisfied with the treaty need not at
tend this gathering, it is pointed out,
and thus their colleagues, plus the
other members, might ratify the doc
ument unanimously. The Dali would
still function as Irelands only rec
ognized elected parliamentary assem-
bly,.
A provisional government would be
formed under the treaty and the Dali
Eireann could act as a check on it's
functions. 1t would take many
months for the new Irish constitution
to be put into working order; in the
meantime it is hoped the Differences
between the Sim Fein leaders might
be adjusted There is, howver, pos
sibility that Mr.. De Valera, Austen
Stack. Charles Burgess and Erskine
Childcrs may, as De Valera has said,
regard the new provisional gove"r
ment as an usurpation, and campaign
against it.
Some of Mr.. De Valera's most in
fluenital and valued friends outside
the Dali have seen him and urged the
dcsirability Of accepting the treaty
They are said to have come away con
vinced that on the grounds of prin-
ciple he is entirely uncompromising
and will fight the matter out, what
ever the consequences.

NOW DISCUSSING
DUTY ON POTASH

Washington, Dec. 29.-A copy of a
contract entered into by 81 American
manufacturers of fertilizers with the
potash syndicate Of Germany ty
which the former bind themselves 20
purchase rs per cent of their potash
requirements from the latter was read
today in the record Of the tariff hear
ings of the senate finance committee
The contracts were produced by S.
d. Crenshaw, vice president of tho
Virginia Carolina Chemical company
of Richmond, Va, and in ordering i,
placed in the records Senator Smoot
(Republican) of Utah said he wanted
to show to senators that it not only
evaded all anti dumping laws passed
by congress but also all American
antitrust laws.
IF that contract can stand" Sena-
ter Smoot declared, Germany will see
that the potash industry in the Unit
ed States will never be developed"
Mr.. Crenshaw, whose company Is a
member of the party to the contract,
said the instrument is so drawn
that the American manufacturers
could buy 25 per cent of their
supply from French or domestic
sources. 1t developed, however
that the American firm would
get lower rate per ton If they
bought their entire supply from the
German syndicate than if they bought
only IS per cent from that source.
Arguments against. tariff on pot
ash were presented also by Represen-
tative Benham (Republican) of In
diana, spokesman for New Jersey
farmers, and S. A. Houston of New
York city, representing the German
potash syndicate. Representatives of
the industry will be heard tomorrow.
Mr.. Benham, who bald that before
he was elected to congress his prin-
cipal vocation was "the doctoring of
sick FARMS" told the committee that
he was high proteetionist for any
promising American Industry but that
he had been unable to find any official
or other evidence that the American
potash producing industry was "a
promising one."
Spokesman for the New Jersey
farmers and Mr.. Houston emphasized
what they said would be the cost to
the American farmers and finally to
the consumers. of a agptu.on potash.
The New Jersey men estimated that
the duty would add cost of 81 an
acre to the production of potatoes in
their state and they argued that in the
present condition of agriculture no ad-
ditional burdens should be placed on
the farmers.
Mr.. Houston told the committee
that the German law prohibiting the
sale of German potash abroad at q
price lower than obtaining in Ger
many effectually prevented the dump
ing of potash into the United States
or any other country.

Mixed Court To
Have Jurisdiction

Shanghai, Dec. 29.-Shanghai's
Mixed Court, which has jurisdiction
over Chinese GENERALLY who reside
within the International Settlement
and over foreigners who lack con-
sular protection, is to have jurisdic .
tion over Germans until such time as
a special system of judicature is es-
tablished, according to decision
handed down by the Mixed Court in
October.
The ruling was given on de-
murrer that was filed in a case in
which a German was defendant. The
contention advanced was that the
Mixed Court has no jurisdiction over
Germans by reason of the agreement
completed recently between Germany
and China. In overruling the de
murrer the court held that the Sino
German agreement directs that cases
involving Germans shall be tried by
new or modern courts, but that until
such a court or some other court j.;
established having jurisdiction over
Germans in the International Settle
ment, the Mixed Court is bound to
take jurisdiction, as the Mixed Court
cannot admit that any persons il the
Settlement can at any moment b.
subject to the jurisdiction of no ex.
listing court.
The ruling points out that it is
for the German authorities by diplo-
matte methods to see that the proper
courts are established without delay

BANK BANDITS
! SHOOT THREE MEN

E Pearl River, N. Y, Dec. 80. (By the
Associated Press).-Four armed BAN
dts who today swooped down on
Pearl River failed in an attempt to
| rob the First National bank and fled
! in their automobile after Staying two
men and probably mortally wounding
another.
One robber, wounded by one of his
victims, left slight trail of blood in
the snow, but this was lost when he
entered the machine. Tonight the
two fire departments in their trucks,
citizens in their private machines,
and the police were securing the
country.
Just what occurred was told the
district attorney. by Otto Miller. a
railroad flagman, who was conferring
in an inner Office with James p.
Moore, assistant cashier, when the
robbers appeared and who tonight lay
critically wounded in hospital. Only
one other person was in the bank at
the time, Siegfried Butz, who with
Moore was slain.
Attracted to the bank by the pros
pect of obtaining $1,000 payroll for
the Dexter Folder company plant
across the street the robbers with
out any preliminaries began shoot
ing.
Butz was the fist to fall. When
Miller and Moore appeared from the
inner Office the rain of bullets con-
tinued with Moore returning the fire
and wounding one of the bandits.
The shooting was heard by girls in
offices over the bank and it was be-
lieved that the scuffling of their feet
caused the bandits to flee through the
windows.
Investigation showed the robbers
had obtained nothing. The payroll
had been taken to the factory before
their arrival and the inner doors to
the vaults were locked.
