SEES NO ENDURING
PEACE IN HOME RULE

MANCHESTER, England, Jan. 21.-
The home rule law offers no hope
for an enduring peace in Ireland.
Bishop Cohalan, of Cork. was quoted
as saying in an interview printed by
the Guardian today. The prelate,
who is one of the most influential
men in Cork, continued:
my first impression was that
Eamon de Valera was home on a
peace mission, but there seems to be
no ground for hope in that direction
so long as every attempt is taken as
a sign of weakness. The position
seems to be quite hopeless. l am
unable to find a person in southern
Ireland who has even read the par
tition (home rule) law. If the cleo
tion Is held 1T is certain that an over
whelming majority of Sim Feiners
will sit in the Dublin Legislature.
While the home rule law offers no
hope for an enduring peace, l advised
its acceptance as springbOard
from which we might jump to some
thing better"

BAREDENTON'S.
. LIFE AT TRIAL.
Housekeeper Of Slain Million
aire Flayed by Prosecutor Be-
fore Los Angeles Jury.

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 2l.-Dis-
trict Attorney Woolwine announced
Just before the opening of todays
Session of the trial of Mrs. Louise
Pete, charged with the murder OF
Jacob F. Denton, his intention TO
use as witnesses during the day
those who were familiar with Den
tons life and appearance, and who
had testified that the body found In
a secret basement crypt in his pala-
tial home last September was that
of the rich mining man.
HOUsEkEEPER DEFIANT.
Among those who will likely be
called today is Miss Frances Denton
young daughter of the slain man she
has been In the court room the last
few days. While she has followed
with deep interest the proceedings OF
the trial, particularly the ehorts OF
the prosecution to fasten the crime on
Mrs Pete, she has paid considerable
attention to the defendant.
Late yesterday. when Woolwine out
lined his accusations against Mrs
Pete, dwelling particularly on the
allegation that she had 'masaueraded"
as Denton's wife and purchased 5000
partment store after the murder, the
defendant folded her arms and sat
back in her chair in q cold spirit OF
defiance.
Her face, which has borne a
peach bloom complexion since the
trial opened. became just little
white and her lips were set firmly.
"A little later the near-pallor had
given way to her natural color and
she seemed as carefree as any per-
son in the room.
After Woolwine had flayed Mrs.
Peete, Frank w. Stoddard, first wit
ness Of the prosecution, was called
to the stand. Stoddard made de-
tailed maps of Denton's home and
was grilled at great length by Pub
lie Defender Aggeler regarding GER
tain diagrams of the murder man
sion.'
1t was the apparent idea of the
defense to try to show it would
have been impossible for woman
of Mrs. Peete's frail stature to carry
heavy body like that Of Denton
down the stairway in the Denton
home as has been alleged.
STATE CITES POINTS.
woolwine emphasized the follow
ing points, which he said he expected
TO prove:
That Mrs. Peete went to the Den
ton home and arranged to rent it.
That Denton planned to start on
rip East on June 1, and that he
was killed by Mrs. Peete on the morn
ing of June 2.
That Mrs. Peete falsely told others
Denton was alive after she buried
the body in the basement crypt OF
Denton's home.
That Mrs. Peete sold Denton's q
clothing, pawned his diamond ring.
and gave his automobile to . friend
OF hers to keep Until she returned
TO Los Angeles from Denver.
That Mrs. Peete ''masqueraded" as
Denton's wife and purchased 5000
worth of gowns at Downgatown De-
partment store after the murder.
FORGED POST MORTEM CHECKS.
That Denton was killed by a bullet
fired into the back of his head.
That Mrs. Peete made numerous
conflicting stories concerning her acts
at the Denton home at the time of
the Staying and she employed a
gardner to carry the earth into the
house, which-earth was found cover
ing Denton's body.
That Mrs. Peete forged Denton's
name to two checks for $3.50 and
cashed them at a local bank after
killing him.

Congressman Norman j. Gould
of New York declared today that he
would lead the fight in the House
to give the $240 bonus to District
policemen and firemen.
ROW Is EXPECTED.
When the question arises IL is ex-
pectde to precipitate a lively row In
view OF the general understanding
that the police and firemen were TO
benefit from the bonus provision in
the legislative bill.
Congressman Gould Is chairman of
the subcommittee in charge OF the
salary revision Affecting the guardians
Of the city approved by Congress last
year. He declared today that the
salaries were revised on the basis OF
the bonus, which 1t was expected the
police and firemen would receive.
Congressman Davis, OF Minnesota,
in charge OF the District bill in the
House. declared today that he would

amount could not be obtained.
BONUS STRICKEN OUT.
1t is probable. he said, that the
bonus provisions for these employees
VIII come up during consiueratloh OF
the District bill. He believed, how
ever that Congress would permit the
police and firemen to participate In
the bonus to some extent at any rate.
1t was Mr.. Davis who explained on
the floor OF the House that the bonus
for these employees was eliminated
from the District appropriation bill
because II was expected they would
be taken care Of In the legislative
bill. When this measure was report
ed without recognizing the police and

PLANS UPSET.
President Wilson's Program for
Adjustment Strikes Hitch as
Opposition Develops.
BY HARRY l.. ROGERS,
International News Service.

President Wilson's program for a
rapid withdrawal OF the military
government OF the Dominican Re-
public has encountered an unexpect-
ed hitch, according TO reports from
Santo Domingo received here today.
REFUSE TO SERVE.
The commission OF presentatiys
Dominican citizens. sci tied under
President Wilson's Christmas Day
proclamation to revise the Dominican
laws and constitution with a view
to the granting OF a greaer degree
OF self-goyernment TO the republic.
has refused to serve except. upon
certain conditions which are said 30
be unsatisfactory TO the American
State Department.
The Presidential proclamation.
which was issued through Rear Ad-
miral Thomas Snowden, military gov
ernor. provided that this co nmiss on
should be entrusted with the forula-
ton OF amendments to the constitu-
tion and a general revision Of the laws
OF the republic. including the draft
ing OF a new election law. An Amer
lean technical adviser" was TO super
wise the work OF the commission.
Upon approval by the military gov
ernment, these amendments were to
be submitted to constitutional con-
vention and to the national congress
of the republic.
OPPOSE CONCESSIONS.
The hesitancy OF the native COM
missioners selected for the task Is
said to be based upon beiief that
the United States. in granting a
greater degree of autonomy, viii in
sist upon concessions similar to those
agreed to by Cuba. admitting the
right of American Intervention at any
time conditions demand 1t.
In this view, the Dominicans are
probably correct. as 1t is considered
extremely unlikely that this Govern
ment would withdraw it's military
forces from the island without re-
serving the right again to assume
charge If there should be a return to
conditions such as prevailed prior to
American occupation.
AMERICA IS FIRM.
Every effort is being made to pla-
cate the Dominican commissioners,
but il Is stated on good authority
that the United States has no inten-
tion of receding from it's original
position. If the commission as now
constituted persists in its determlna-
ton not to proceed on that basis.

tuted
Secretary of the Navy Daniels
stated today that reports from Ad-
miral Snowden led him to believe the
final OUT come would be satisfactory.
