Wallace, a newspaper editor as well as farm make it get across" It did-in a CT, knew how to "put ,lp his copy to series of newspaper headlines which extended from New York to San Francisco.

Richardson and
 Wrinkle Both Guilty
So Pleaded in Superior Court at Hartford-Receivinga and Concealing Stolen Automo- piles.

Hartford, Oct. 11-Detective Sergeant Andrew J. Richardson of the New Britain police force and Jacob Wrinkle of New Britain, pleaded guilty in the superior court here late today to charges of re- ceiving and concealing stolen automobiles Passing of sentence was deferred by Judge Wolfe This action in the New Britain inquiry followed a conference be- tween the accused and States Attorney Alcorn.
 Richardson's two sons, Wallace and Andrew F.. were brought into court with their father and Wrinkle, but were not put to plea. The specific charge against the suspended detective chief was receiving and concealing an automobile which was stolen from Theodore Trawley of New York on May 9, 1920. When the charge was read, Richardson responded:
 Guilty, to my personal knowledge"
 Richardson and his two sons and Win l1le were arrested by the state police on September 29 as a result of the investiga- tion into the supposed murder of Louis Wrinkle in New Britain. Richardson and Wrinkle have been locked up in the Hart ford county jail in default of S50,00C | bonds each and Richardson's sons were held in s15,0O0 each.

London, Oct. 11.-CBy The A. P)-l hrltish and Irish delegates to +he con- terence which aims al settling inc f,i ture Of Ireland held two two hour ses sions at Number 10 Downing street to- day' adjourning after the afternoon sas- son until Thursday. in order to enable rremier Lloyd George to grapple with the unemployment situation.
 Both sessions were business like. even uNe greetings of Mir. Lloyd George to the visitors from across the channel heinz hearty but formal. The official comnu- nlques' issued at the conclusion of the proceedings, do not disclose the subjects discussed. but 1t was understood that the matter of procedure upon which the Sim rem delegates placed much importance. occupied the greater part of the time.
 No notes of the speeches and discus sions at either meeting were taken. In fact, no stenographers were present. and both the British and Sim Fein delegates maintained silence as to what happen- ed. It was gathered. however, that the conference proceeded along anticipated lines' and that nothing thus far has occurred to ieopardize its success. Ii is probable that the question of alleged breaches of the truce by both sides was | taken up as the British and Sim Fein | officials have been much concerned about this subject, both being desirous of hav- ing the conference conducted in an at. | mosphere of peace. The Irish delegates were aware before they came to London l of dissatisfaction on the part of the Brit l ish government regarding the alleged breaches, and they had no intention o- unduly stressing that question, but wers anxious for a mutual understanding or the matter
 The British authorities are also fri | tated over the resumed activities of tn l Sim Fein police and law courts in Ire
 land, which are carrying on the work O
 punishing breaches of ordinary laws am
 adjusting litigation. Recruiting for tn
 Irish republican army. which in Count
 Clare alone is said to have brought I5.
 900 men under arms, is another matte
 to which the government has taken ex
 ception.
 The average Londoner took little in terest in todaS's sessions but Irish res
 idelts and Sim Fein sympathizers turn
 ed out in force to welcome the Dali de egates and 10 wish them success in thei l negotiations. There was a goodly crow at the entrance to Downing street dur
 ing the morning session. which wa,
 ed Sim Fein flags, wore the party color 7 sang hymns and r/ited the rosary a ? their representatives were closeted wit { the British cabinet members.
 Similar scenes were witnessed durin i the afternoon session.
 t Michael Collins. a most picturesque fl, f ure. was the target of a veritable ba - tery of eyes. The window spectators wel
 rewarded for their trouble because q
 way in which Mir. Collins avoided ph = tographers was an achievement that i few would like to initiate. He jump, - from the step of his automobile aero l. the sidewalk into the hall and open,
 the door to the premier's residence, ar
 in doing so he upset the pompous bu ,t Ter dressed in brilliant livery.

REPLY TO CATHOLIC BISHOPS
 OF THE UNITED STATES

Dublin, Oct. 1.-The Catholic heir archy meeting at Maynooth college re- piled today to Cardinal o'ConnelTs cable gram sent in the name of the bishops Of the UnSed Sates. wishing success for the Irish peace efforts.
 Ireland" says the cablegram, "recog- nizes in the message not the voice of a province or nation. however multitudin- ous its people. but the voice of the church after Rome the most glorious in the world.
 You justly rate this as a solemn and momentous hour in Ireland's history; her destiny is hanging in the balance; her representatives this day have gone into a peace conference in London.
 Neither they nor the people they rep resent are unmindful of the difficulties awaiting them there, but they enter the conference chamber fortified by your valuable assurance of American sympa- thy and encouraged by the noble tribute you pay them when you say that their sta.es7nanship has challenged the adnira- ton Of the country
 We join with you in fe1Teut prayers that as a result of the good win now ex- sting in England. Ireland and under the | blessing of God. the sadness of IreIand's g history of seven hundred years is at last Coll4-A5 lo an enu ana we are on the eve of national freedom, peace and prospeTi- | ty."
 The hierarchy unanimously adopted a resolution welcoming the peace confer i ence. hoping and praying that the delib- eratiogs might eventuste in peace which would satisfy the rights and aspirations Of the Irish and thereby lead to pe-ma- nenr friendship between the two peo- | pies.
 The bishops also strongly urged the re. lease of political prisoners as a measure to remove cruel and exaspersting ob- stacle 10 the good will of the Irish and l English people"

 A meeting of the cabinet will be held at II o'clock tomorrow. at which Premier Lloyd George will advise his colleagues regarding today's proceed ings.
 Only one untoward incident occurred today. A young man passing through the crowd at the entrance to Downing street bought a small Sim Fein flag. which hawker5 were selling. and spat on it. threw it to the ground and trampled on it. He was immediately attacked by a number of Irish girls and was handled so roughly that a policeman took him to Scotland Yard for protection Hav- ! ing demolished their enemy, the girls cheered lustily and returned to await the departure of their delegates.

TAX REVISION COMPROMISE
 TAKEN UP IN THE SENATE

Washington, Oct. 1.-The republican compromise tax revision programme was started on it's way through the sen- ate today with the adoption without a dissenting or record vote of an amend ment proposing repeal on next January of the transportation taxes on freight, passengers, Pullman accommodations, express packages and oil by pipe line. There were increasing evidences, however, both on the floor of the sen ate and behind the scenes that some of the other compromise proposals would not find as easy sailing. Reply ing to an inquiry from the democrat tic | side, Senator ALcCumber, of North Da- | kota, temporarily in charge of the rev. enue bill, announced that the cornpro- mise amendments would not be offered | on behalf of the full republican mem l bership of the finance committee; that | he was against some of them and that he and other committeeman reserved the | right to oppose them.
 Senators in the so-called H1anufactur. CTS "bloc" supported by house leaders were all set to luanch their figh against the 50 per cent. maximum in come sur-tax rate amendment after it: | introductions.
 Before adopting the transportation tax repeal amendment, the senate vott down, 3S to 30, an amendment by Sen ator Trammel, democrat, Florida, pro
 posing that the repeal be effective ter
 days after the passage of the bill. Dis posal of these two amendments consti
 tuted practically all progress made to
 day on the bill itself.
 Much of the day was given over to
 prepared address by Senator Shoot, re
 publican, Utah, explaining his propose
 for 8 manufacturers sales tax, and t
 political row over the tax bill betwee
 Senators Harrison, democrat, Missis
 sippi, Watson, republican, Indiana.
 Twitting the republicans on the f
 nance committee for aEcepting tn
 compromise programme Senator Harr
 son said he had never known the "ol 7 guard" in the senate to be put to sue P utter rout and surrender without givin , battle. He added that it was singular strange that Senator Lodge of Mass; . chusetts the republican leader, attend
 ed the meeting Of the agricultural "bloc
 and assisted In "srbmarining" the f q nance committee.
 I Senator Watson, in reply, said that the compromise plan the senate repu
 :icans had gone back practically to u house bill; that the democrats on u 2 finance committee had made no prop sals for improving the measure while was before the committee, and tn
 there was evidence of a fiNbuster l. the democrats against this and oth I measures in an effort to force the tar n pill over into next year as close to ele l, ion time as possible.
