COURT SAYS IRIS
MUST WAIT AWHILE
FOR US. GUARANTY

Washington, Jan. 3-The railroads
OF the country must await a final
audit by the Interstate Commerce
Commission before receiving any
portion of the $500. o0o,o0o appropri-
alton by Congress as a guaranty for
operating expenses after return to
private ownership, Chief Justice Nc
Coy of the District of Columbia
supreme court ruled today.
The decision was handed down in
mandamus proceedings brought by
the Grand Trunk Western Railway
Company to compel the secretary of
the Treasury to make partial pay
ment of 100000 to the company on
account of the government guaranty.
Denying the mandamus, Chief Justice
Mccoy upheld the decision OF the
comptroller of the Treasury that the
guaranty provision of the Transpor-
tation act did not permit the secre-
tary of the Treasury to make partial
payment to the railroads in advance
of final audit by the Interstate
Commerce Commission showing the
entire amount due.
70 DiSagreeing with the declaration
of counsel for the railway company
that the expression veral
amounts" in the act indicated that
Congress intended partial payments
might be made to any road desiring
them, Chief Justice Mccoy said he
construed the word several as
meaning respective" payments to
the several roads.
1t was understood that counsel for
the railway company would note an
appeal to the District court of APP
peals.

IRISH AND BRITISH
FAIL TO SEE GOOD
IN HOME RULE BILL

New York. Jan. Sir Humar
Greenwood, chief secretary for Ire
land. has made IL statement on the
Irish question the. full text OF which
has been received by cable through
official channels. Referring to cur
rent rumors as to informal "explora-
tons of the Irish situation he said
so far as we are concerned we are
out for peace. but there can be no
compromise with MURDER"
Asked whether the, passing of the
Government of ireland act had had
any effect on the. situation he said:
THE act which now has received
the Royal assent is more Just in it's
conception and more generous in its
provisions tran any Of the previous
home rule bills. Under it's provisions.
the Irish people will have control. Of
agriculture, education, licensing, To-
cal government. mines and factories,
pensions. and Insurance., labor ex-
changes. and in short, Of everything
that touch everyday life. Some mat
tiers are reserved for a shorter period
than was contemplated by the act of
AoA iASAoiiN III" iSAo oESil
a measure Of self-government which
when ii is developed to the full ex-
tent contemplated in the act will
place her in effective control of her
own national life. But this mea sure
has been described as worse than
useless and neither in Ireland nor in
Great Britain has it been recognized
as tremendous step forward In the
history of the Irish question.
THE Ulster question has ceased to
exist. Unity with Ireland is left to
Irishmen themselves to achieve
through their own elected represen-
tatives in their own parliaments. The
act is the pledge of Britafn's good
will to Ireland. and it Is the best an
swer to those who consciously are
playing into the hands Of the terror
lists in Ireland by suggesting that the
nation is not behind the government
in this matter.
Whatever may be the develop
ments of the future, believe that the
political historian will point to this
act as the beginning of the end Of
the Irish question. At any rate, IL
hands over 10 Irish men and women
the government of their own great
country"
