DUBLIN, Feb. 1s-It is officially an uounced that the tracks of a railway line in County Donegal on Wednesday were diverted from the permanent way 10 run into a lake between Cashelnager and Gweedore. The outrage was dis covered however, before a mishap oc- cured.
 Today's official review says that the report of outrages in tie last week af- lord grounds for satisfaction The greatly reduced number of casualties to crown forces, it adds leads to the opin- ion that the recent lawless activities ] have reached the maximum and the arrests and seizures being made daily should result in a sensible improvement in the situation shortly.
 X large quantity of arms and muni- tons was discovered by the mill1ary and police last night at the asylum of St. John of God, near StirorEan. county Dublin. Two arrests were made.

HOUSE WRANGLES IN
 PROPOSAL n RETIRE
 CROWDER WITH BANK
rRepubIIcan A. p. Leased WireJ


 WASHINGTON. Feb. 1S.-Legisla- ton providing for the retirement of Major General Enoch H. Crowder, the war time provost marshal general with the rank of lieutenant general was literally talked to death today in the house.
 Al inc end of seven hours of hope less wrangling and in the midst of a parliamentary tangle, the house was forced to adjourn, leaving the bill at ><e top of the private calendar, which cannot possibly be reached this session.
 Opponents of the measure, passed by the senate and called up and set aside often in the house of late, formed and held il flying wedge that held back a larger element seeking and fighting for it's adoption. Going down with the Crowder proposal were a host of highly important private bills.
 After Representative Greene, Repub- lican. Vermont. acting for the military committee, had made an earnest plea for the bilrs passage, Representative Fucker. Democrat, Missouri, led the fight against it.
 Representative Newton also of Mis- souri. a Republican. joined in the fight for adoption.
 The chief opposition as expressed or inc floor was based on the belief that afy all high officials serving at home
 abroad, General CroWder now 1T ,uDa as special representative o President Wilson, should not be singled out for special recognition.
 The soldier element, headed by Rep resentative Johnson, South Dakota who quit the house to serve overseas fought the proposal and friends of off cers recently mentioned for promotion insisted General Crowder had no clain 10 distinction denied to other men Most of the opposition. however, wa on the Dem ocratic side.

HARDING MUM LIN CABINET BERTHs KEEPS POLITICAL GOSSIP STIRRING
IRepubIican A. P. Leased wlrel


 ST. AUGUSTINE. Fla, Feb. IS. = The pow WOW at the president elects headquarters developed no conclusive indications today in regard to selec- tions for the three cabinet places re- maining unassigned
 Neither MT. Harding nor any of those who saw him would throw any further light on the situation although there were general expressions of con fidence that the next few days would see the cabinet slafe satisfactorily completed Meantime speculation about the commerce and labor port folios continued to center upon a half dozen of those known to have been under consideration and a usual crop of guesses developed in regard to probable choice for secretary of the navy.
 Those most prominent in gossip about the secretaryship of commerce were Herbert Hoover of California. 1 John Hays Hammond of New York and A. M. Huston of Tennessee, while i the names of James J. Davis of Penn sylvania and T. V. O'Connor of New York were heard most often as likely | selections to head the labor depart ment. All of these are known to have come in for very serious consideration on the building of the cabinet.
 Regarding the navy secretaryShip, l ] tangible. Of the many men mentioned | there is none really known to be a ! probability and definite predictions amount simply to chance shots. Until yesterday MT Harding had been con- 1 fident that Frank O.. Lowden would accept the place and with MT. Low den's refusal the whole field had to be | opened up again and a new canvass of available material begun.
 One of the most persistent reports ! here today was that tho navy portfolio might go to 4. T. Hert, Republican national committeeman from Ken lucky Some weeks ago there was a movement to support MT. Hert for a place in Mir. Harding's family ot counsellors, but he has not figured in more recent cabinet developments and his appointment now would be a sur prise to some of the president elects i closes advisors. Tomorrow MT. Har- | ding will turn his attention to other questions, taking up the initial foreign policies of the new administration witt Charles Evans Hughes of New York | understood to be slated for secretary of state and talking over a taxation program with Representative Fordne1
 of Michigan, chairman of the house
 ways and means committee.
 Besides continuing his conference
 today with Harry M. DaugherIy O
 Ohio, his prospective attorney general
 MT. Harding received a long succession
 of callers who gave him advice on {
 variety of subjects. One of those wht
 talked to him about taxation was Ottt
 Kahn, the New York financier.

AGREES ON 3 APPROPRIATIONS
 FOR S80O,0OO, GOO
LRepubIicau A. p. Leased WireI

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1S-By the passage in six hours today of three an nual appropriation bills aggregating more than $S6o, 900 000 the senate dem- onstrated it's ability to work when in the mood
 With only II working days remain ing of the present session the appro- priation bills were given a clear field in the effort to pass all of the regular supply measures by March 4, as re- quested by President-elect Harding.
 The three bills passed today were the postoffice budget carrying S574,000,- 00O, the annual diplomatic and consular bill totaling s10.400,000 in it's appro- priations, and the S276, ,000, 900 deficiency measure. Senate amendments increased the three bills about s145,000,000 over totals voted by the house which will necessitate adjustments in conference.
 Cooperation between senate and the house in dispoSing of the appropriation bills was the subject of a conference between senate Republican leaders and Representative Mondell, Republican floor leader of the house and Chairman 1 Good of the house appropriations com mittee.
 The house of representatives agreed to aid in expediting conference action All except one of the appropriation bills had passed the house tonight but the senate still has to pass six. the army navy. agricultural, rivers and harbors
 Qualifications and general deficiency measures. Only two of the regular supply bills, the annual pension roll and the District of Columbia budget have been completed by both bodies of congress and sent to President Will 1 son. Some Republican leaders express 1 hopes of enacting all of the appropria- ton measures before adjournment ] btu others have abandoned hope oi | passing the navy budget, and possibly | the army bill Hearings of the navy i bill were begun today and the army 1 bill will be reported out of committed 1 early next week.
 1 In the three money bills passed today l by the senate most of the appropria | tions were routine and droned through with little discussion. Passage of the postoffice bill was marked by reiec- | tion of a proposed rider to appropriate ] s100, 900. 000 for the federal road build ] ing fund.
 The diplomatic bill carried provision:
 authorizing acceptance of J. Pierpon
 Morgan's home in London for an Amer. i ican embassy for indefinite extension 1 of the system of requiring wise b, 1 American consular officers abroad, O i emigrants' passports and creating 1 commission to acquire embassy, lega.
 tion and consular buildings in II for. ! eign capitols-
 Among the items in the deficienc, bill as passed was an increase from s1 000,00O to S1,45O,00 in the prohibition
 enforcement fund, and s65, ,575, 900 fo
 payment to the railroad administration
 of main transportation accounts.

 Starr's first notorious act was the killing Of Floyd Wilson, a railroad de- tective. in 1893. Starr and Wilson rode up to each other on the road and fought a duel to the death.
 Starr was arrested with Kid Will son at Colorado Springs and taken 10 Fort smith Ark, where they were tried in federal court for the many crimes they were alleged to have com Iuitted in that state. They were con yicted and sentenced to life imprison- ment in the federal prison at Colum- bus, Ohio. Starr served only a snort time, however, his sentence being com nauted by President Mckinley. His citizenship was restored by Roosevelt in 1907.

 The last report from Starr. on file at the state pardon and parole office in Oklahoma City. is a letter from Kansas City written November l, 1920, in which he said he was getting along all right in a motion picture venture. Late tonight opinion of attending physicians was divided as to Starr s chances for recovery. He underwent an operation this afternoon and fol- i lowing it the surgeon said the spinal cord had been partly severed, and that i his chances for living till morning were slight.
 Starr said tonight he expected to
 die from the wound. He is paralyZed i in the right side, physicians said. They extracted the bullet late today. | His wounding was the result of the 1 setting of bandit trap F years ago 1 by ". J. Meyers, 63 years old, and | former president of the Peoples bank ! Meyers said tonight. He had a rear ] door built into the vault then, just in i case anybody should try to rob us, we would have a way out" he told his employees \ loaded rifle has been 1 kept in corner of the vault since that ] time.

WHY GERMANY
DOESN'T BUY COTTON
SO Many Substitutes of Paper
Have Long Been Used Peo-
pie Really Like 1t

Berlin, June 29-Necessity has
forced Central Europe to get
along without its usual supply OF
cotton goods Tor so long that the
public has become accustomed tC
all sorts of substitutes and the
task OF getting back the Euro
lpean market for American cotton
is an extremely difficult one as
long as the mark remains at its
low and wildly huctuating value
tie.
What is true CT the textile mar
kets in Germany is even more
true OF those in Austria and other
war torn countries which have
unfavorable exchange. In CON
sequence the buying power OF
Central Europe is generally esti-
mated by manufacturers Of cot
ton goods to be only Is per cent
of what it was IN normal pre- war
times.
Germans have become so &C
customed to the Use OF white pa
pr tablecloths and napkins that
even the best hotels in Berlin no
longer feel it necessary to pro-
tide linen or cotton cloths for
their tables. Great rolls of heavy
crinkled paper are kept in all the
restaurants and hotels. Walters
cut table lengths from these as
required The same system is
escorted to in private homes.
Germany has an abundance OF
PAPER and the price is low Tex
tiles are expensive because of the
high price OF he imported raw
materials. Laundry work is al
o expensive. Woven paper cloth
mas replaced cotton. wooden and
ilk fabrics almost entirely as up
holstering and drapery material
n car furnishings. Wherever
cloth need no. be washed or cx-
POSED to moisture paper substi-
utes are used. Woven paper
oWels and tablecloths have been
effected which can be washed
zen two or three times.
Pc YER Postmaster General.
Nif1 S;incy Burleson, accom-
IL ~ n. 6. Schlammcr. Of
>,.,tm. feXas. who have been
1cre investigating the POSSIBLE
les of marketing American cot
on, have been faced by the fore
going discouraging facts.
Thrifty Germans have devised
very possible means of avoiding
the purchase Of expensive textiles
md in MANY families which for
merly had many changes of cloth
ing and had thu washing done on
ly at long intervals. the clothing
supply has of necessity been cur
tailed considerably. Worn ar
ticles are repaired more carefully
than before the war.
Until the value of the mark is
stabilized great improvements
cannot be expected in the cottoni
consuming power of Germany
according to Mr. Burleson. 1t is
the wildly fuctuating value of the
mark in relation to the dollar,
rather than the low comparative
value, which creates the great
uncertainty among cotton spin
lers. Under present conditions
they cannot make any estimated
,osts which Will hold good over
my considerable length of time.
