TAX REVISION ACT NOW LAW
Nearly Half OF Presidential Appoint
ments Fail Of Confirmation and
Under the Law Are Dead.

Washington.-The first, and special,
session of the sixty-seventh Congress
ended after President Harding had
visited the capitol and signed meas
ures enacted in the closing hours.
The house was the first to close up
shop, adjourning sine die at 4:0l, and
at 4:37 o'clock the senate quit.
Chief among the measures signed
by Mr.. Harding were the tax revision
and maternity bills.
After finally disposing Of the tax
BILL the senate turned to clean up
some five hundred odd presidential
nominations.
But 1t did not complete the job.
Nearly half OF the number were left
to die under the law. Most Of those
upon which no action was taken
were minor postmastership appoint
ments. 1t was understood that at
tempts to put through the last minute
negotiations had been blocked largely
through charges Of several senator's
that an effort was being made to rail
road the appointments.
Meanwhile. the house was marking
time, awaiting announcement that the
President had signed the tax and ma
ternity bills and had no other commu-
nications and when so informed ad-
journed.

COLLAPSE FEARED
IN NEGOTIATIONS
SINN FEM HAS DECLINED TO
ACCEPT ANY ALLEGIANCE TO
THE KING OF ENGLAND.
FEAR VETO POWER OF KING
The British Government Regards This
Difficulty as Fundamental, II 10
Asserted by High Authorities.

London.--The negotiations for an
Irish settlement are feared to be near
ing an unfavorable end, according to
high authority and there Is appre-
hension that next week may witness
their collapse unless more favorable
circumstances, not now forseen, shall
develop.
1t is stated that Ulster Is no longer
presenting the sole obstacle, but that
the Sim Fein has refused to accept
allegiance to the King, although will
ling to take the oath to an Irish con.
stitution.
Furthermore, and equally important,
1t is added, the Sim Fem will not
agree to veto Of Irish legislation by
the British crown.
The Sim Fein idea Is said to be a
completely Independent Irish state,
although loosely connected with the
other states in the empire. Acts OF
parliament creating British dominions
give the King the power OF vetoing
all legislation, but, by constitutional
usage, this veto is now never exer,
cised. The Sim Fein, however, is
declared to have made known its be-
lief that a similar veto power regard
ing Ireland would constantly be used
at the will of the British cabinet.
The government regards this diff
Guilty as fundamental, 1t is asserted.

REASON FOR SHIPS
OF SMALL TONNAGE
BATTLESHIPS OF THE FUTURE
MUST BE CONSTRUCTED TO
FIT THE PANAMA CANAL.
OUT FLEET WILL Be DIVIDED
Disadvantage Of Having Ships Which
Must Round Cape Horn Was Illus
trated In the War With Spain.

Washington-The real reason for
the proposal Of Secretary Hughes and
the American navy that hereafter no
battleships shall be built by any nation
larger than $4,000 tons Is just coming
to the surface. The United States does
not wish to have any battleship too
large to go through the Panama canal.
Before the present conference was
convened and the armament race was
at Its height, there was talk Of a $4,000
and 6O,OOO-ton battleship to be built
by Japan. This would have been met
by the construction OF American bat
tleshlps of equal size, but these YES
sells would have been valuable to the
United States only in the Pacific,
where they would have had to be kept
most of the time.
American naval policy, at least Tor
the present, contemplates a fleet dl'
yided between the Atlantic and Pa
ciflc, and one OF the chief values OF
the canal is that strategetically II
gives the United States great defen'
sive strength. The disadvantage OF
having vessels in the Pacific which
must round Cape Horn was conspicu'
ously illustrated when Fighting Bob
Evans made his memorable trip from
Pacific to Atlantic waters to assist
the squadrons of the Cuban coast.
The Panama canal is able at pres
ent to accommodate vessels with a
displacement of only 10000 tons.

TO CUT OUT FOREIGN COURTS.
Senator Lodge Of the American Dele
cation to Present the Principe In
the Form OF a Resolution.

Washington Abolition of extra
territorial rights in China, by which
various powers maintain their own
courts for trial OF their own nationals,
was agreed to In principle by the
powers represented in the Washington
conference on Pacific and Far Eastern
affairs.
The Chinese delegation presented
to the committee a statement strongly
urging the adjustment OF the extra
territorial rights and sympathetic re-
sponses were said to have been voiced
by the representatives Of the other
powers.
Belief was generally expressed, how
ever, that the rights could not be
given up Immediately In view OF con-
ditions, but that the abolition should
come as promptly as compatible with
the present situation and progress OF
China.
The committee. upon reaching the
general agreement, authorized the ap-
pointment OF subcommittee headed
by Senator Lodge, Of the American
delegation to present the principle in
the concrete form Of a resolution.
The subcommittee also will work
out the details Of the surrender by
the powers OF their rights. This task
will include the consideration Of a
number of treaties and for that reason
the time required for its accomplish
ment was predetermined.
