irish CRISIS
THOUGHT NEAR
BY THE BRITISH
London Awakes To The
Seriousness of the
Situation
FIRM ON OATH UNITY
De Valera Says Ireland Wants Peace
But Will Hold to Principles-irish
Altitude Unshaken.

London, Dec. AL government
business is giving way to the gravity
Of the Irish situation. Both govern
ment and Irish circles express the
feeling that only a miracle can avert
the collapse of the conference and a
renewal of warfare.
1t had been intended to hold cabl-
net council tonight to consider Ger
man reparations in connection with
the visit of DR.. Walter Rathenau, but
this had to be postponed in order to
permit the special cabinet commit
tee dealing with Irish affairs to hold
a sitting. Lord Birkenhead, due to
speak at political meeting in Liver
pool, was obliged to stay in London.
He sent a message of apology, eN-
planning that his absence was owing
to grave public affairs"
Premier Lloyd George also wired
to the meeting, explaining that Lord
Birkenhead's presence in London was
"imperatively demanded by the pres
ent position of the Irish negotla-
tions"
A spokesman of Sim Fein declar-
ed this evening that there was, no IN
tention on the part of Sim Fein to
alter it's attitude regarding either
unity Of Ireland or allegiance to the
crown.
Representative of Sim Fein took
pains to deny formally the statement
of a London paper that, first, Sim
Fein had consented to agree to plan
whereby Ulster could contract with
an all-Ircland parliament, retaining
her existing rights until or unless she
changes her mind: second. to- sernl- an
allegiance (which ought 10 be salts

Regarding the suggestion that the
government will propose new scheme
to Ulster, Sim Fein delegates say
thew are not concerned with it and
refuse to share the governments re-
sponsibility for it. There was another
session this evening of the British
delegates, but nothing was forthcom-
ing as result of it.

RECOVERY
Mrs. Ella Jaeger Of Gary Gets
Verdict For Possession of
Certificates and Coupons
ESPECIAL TO he rlnEsl


MICHIGAN CITY. IND. Oct 2s-
Mrs. Ella Jaeger of Gary. who came
into possession OF 100000 in govern
ment bonds under mysterious circuu-
stances last year. won her suit for the
recovery of three or the bonds which
have been in the possession of Herman
Faoer' Gary merchant. since June l.
1920
4he jury which has been hearing the
case brought in verdict last night
after two hours deliberation. finding for
the plaintiff
Mrs. Jaeger in her complaint aIlaeed
that Mr.. Faber "wrongruuy took. stole
and carried away" three certificates
which with the interest coupons were
worth $4,000. She said that Faber
represented TO her that he was a man
OF great wealth and large experience in
handling bonds and investments Of all
kinds and could assist her in learninr
II the bonds in her possession had been
lost stolen
lie said IL would be necessary for
him to take one of them to Chicago
Later. she says. he came back and
frightened her by threats Of personal
more $4,000 bonds. These she said he
converted TO his own uses and had re
fused to account for them
1t was also shown that her husband
had at the point of a revolver forced
Faber TO pay back $4,000 and Attorney
Winery FOR the plaintiff in his argu
ment to the jury explained that this
amount should be deducted from the
sso 900.
Faber insisted that he had obtained
the bonds under an agreement by which
he was to dispose of them and receive
hfty per cent of the proceeds. He said
he had carried out the terms and had
paid Mrs. Jaeger half of the amount
received for the bonds This was de-
MED by the plaintiff.
During the course of the trial efforts
were repeatedly made to find 1ust how
Mrs. Jaeger had come into possession
Of the bonds, but the matter remains
a deep a mystery as II was when the
case first attracted wide attention. 1t
was then claimed that Mrs Jaeger had
found them in "a taxicab. This was not
confirmed in the present hearing. The
court in his instructions stated that
there was evidence that Mrs. Jaeger
had found them and that as finder she
was the owner as against every person
except the loser.
The court instructed the jury that
even II Faber did not steal the bonds
as charged he was guilty of larceny II
ii was proved that he had converted
the bonds entrusted TO him to his own
uses The verdict of the jury practi-
cally finds Taber guilty as charged al
though II was not criminal action
Fabers counsel made an unsucces essful
attempt TO impeach the character OF
Mrs. Jaeger while on the other hand the
plaintiff showed that Faber has gone
through bankruptcy twice in other cit
les and IS now in bankruptcy in Gary,
although he has not closed the doors
OF his store.
The verdict deducts the $4,000
tained by Mr.. Jaeger in the alley BY
means Of a revolver one night and
with the interest at per cent brings
the total judgment past $4,000.

Madame. they are bringing the cam
paI,sn into your parlors. Inspired by
their speakers. the party workers are
engaged in intensive house-to house
missionary work.
Ed Simon. the old general himssI.
held his organization in leash until
after the Parthenon rally. Monday
night. 1t was OF course the largest
political meeting in the history OF the
city in view OF the fact that the new
theater has more than twice the seat
Ing capacity OF any house in the city,
including the Deluxe.
Every home In Hammond will be
visited within the next ten days by
volunteer workers for the respective
candidates.
THE ARGUMENTS.
The arguments OF the Brown work
ers are;
That Mayor Brown is not politician
but has been good mayor, always on
the Job and ever ready TO listen TO any
citizen who goes 10 see him.
That Brown has operated the city
cheaper than any other city OF its size
in the United States. a the same time
improving the streets.
That the waterworks project is es-
sential and should not be interferred
with.
That Ed Simon will discharge Chief
Austgen If he is elected and that Aust
gen is the best chief the city has ever
had and it is the best regulated ana
policed city in the state.
That the mayor has nothing TO do
with fixing the rates of the public
utilities but that It is entirely in the
hands Of the public service commits
sion.
That Simon will have an open town
and is supported by the lawless ele
plent
ON THE OTHER HAND.

and legislator.
That Brown has permitted the pub
lie utilities to do as they saw At and
that Simon viii fight to lower the gas.
So "0 eS-SSA~'Ac iAsc9 0iiN " &C.

down by cutting off the supply to West
Hammond.
That the citys morals are bad, espe-
cially on Plumner avenue.
That taxes are too high.
Be prepared. Madame. to have callers
