Been Made.

day charged with aiding in the
escape of Joe Virgins, who killed
two men at Allison Monday night.

disappeared Monday night and
early this morning fired a
shot at Jesse Thomas, who was
a member of the early morning
patrol that was guarding the town.
Last evening Virgins was seen
by two women school teachers who
were walking from Coal Basin to
Allison. They were frightened as
he arose from behind some rocks
and they ran to Allison. A posse

considers his enemies who reside
at Allison.

PEACE Or WAR
IN IRELAND TO
De DECIDED BY
CABINET ACTION
Nature of Decision Not Made
Public Until Today Com
mittee Named to Handle
Situation.
LLOYD GEORGE MADE
HEAD OF DELEGATION
PIenipotentiarieS Selected to
Act in Case De Valera
Should Be Ready to Go
Ahead,
(By The Associated Press.)

Inverness Scotland, Sept. 7 (by
the Associated Press.)-A decision
which may mean peace or war with
ireland was taken by the British
cabinet at an all-important meet
ing today The governments
reply to Eamonn de Valera, Irish
republican leader, unanimously
approved by the ministers, is be-
ing carried to Dublin by Robert c.
Barton, the Sim Fein courier, who
brought the dali eireann's message
to Premier Lloyd George and who
was brought into the council cham
Der while the council was in ses-
sion.
The nature OF the governments
decision has not been made known,
but 1t is not necessary to wait its
publication tomorrow to realize an
important step forward has been
taken.
Directly after the ministers had
reached their decision came the an
nouncement that "a committee
consisting of the ministers now in
Scotland has been appointed with
full power to deal with the situa-
ton the moment Mr.. de Valera's
answer arrives"
The committee comprises the
premier. Austen Chamberlain, Earl
Curzon, Sir Laming Worthington-
Evans, Winston Spencer Churchill,
Edward Shortt, Robert Munro, Lord
Birkenhead, Sir Hamar Greenwood
and Sir Robert stevenson Horne.
This is taken to mean that the
government has appointed the
committee Of ministers to meet the
Irish plenipotentiaries, should Mr..
de Valera be ready to proceed. At
Is contended that If in the opinion
of the cabinet rupture was likely
to follow today's decision it would
hardly be necessary to appoint
a cabinet committee.
Naturally, the possibility that
cabinet may have decided to i'm
pose a time limit for negotiations
to start is not precluded. In this
connection 1t is recalled, unofficf-
al intimations have been given
from Dublin of the names of the
men who would likely be appointed
as plenipotentiaries, including Ar
thur Griffith.
In courtesy to Mr.. de Valera the
cabinets reply will not be made
public until sufficient time has
elapsed for its delivery 1t is url-
derstood, however, further oppor-
tunity has been afforded the re-
publican leader to reconsider his
position carefully and that nothing
has been done in any sense mimi
cal to peace and good will. should
the more moderate counsels pre-
vail.

NEW BASIS FOR
DEALINGS WI 7 /
MEXICO REACHED
Capital of Neighbor Repub-
lie Believes That Agree
ment Will Be Made Break
ing Diplomatic Deadlock.
By The Associated Press.)

Mexico City, Sept Although
an impasse apparently exists be-
tween the Mexican and United
States governments on recognition
OF Mexico, due to the Mexican gov
ernments refusal to sign a treaty
OF amity and commerce as a prior
act, expressions of the belief are
general here that something is go
ing on behind the scenes In an at
tempt to break the deadlock but
at the same time to place neither
nation in the light Of receding from
its original position.
The local newspapers quoting
both American and Mexican sourc-
es. assert a new basis for an inter-
change OF ideas between George T.
Summerlin, American charge daft
faires and Senior Rani, Mexican for
eign secretary, is being established.
Mr.. Summerlin. denying news
paper announcements that he had
received instructions from Secre-
tary Hughes to take up the mat
ter of the recognition of Mexico
along new lines, told the Associat-
ed Press that SO far as he was con-
cerned, the question OF recognition
remained where it had been and
that he had made no representa-
tions to the foreign office here.
Much is being made by political
observers of the events of the last
ten days-the decision of the su-
preme court on the constitution as
1t affects oil, and the conference
between American oil men and
Mexican officials. The supreme
courts decision, which is construed
here as defining article 27 of the
constitution as retroactive has
not been formally published.
The understanding is that the
text of the decision will not be CIV
en- out for another ten days,
The return to New York of the
heads of the five oil companies, is
expected here to result shortly in
the publication of the detailed
terms of the agreement. which is
construed as containing elements
which will contribute to a speedy
clearing up of the international sit
uation. Local newspapers persist
in expressions of the belief that
something more than taxes was
talked of and that the American
oil men will make some definite
recommendation to Washington.
That the conference terminated
amicably seemingly is testified to
by the payment within the last two
days of more than five million pc
sos In taxes by delinquent oil COM
panies. and the immediate resump-
tion of work in the Tampico oil
fields.

The murderers OF Anton
Coury. merchant Of Duran.

sweet potatoes hurled with
much accuracy by the slain

Five men called at Coury's

cording to the uncle. Three of
them were admitted and one
of them ordered the merchant
to put up his hands. He re-

ing Coury outright. \
His wife came running down

armed man, disarmed him.
One of his companions then
shot her. according to Anton.
Fred the 11-year-old son,
threw q can OF sweet potatoes
at the slayer of his father and
staggered him. In the face of
a volley of canned vegeta bles,

The bandits are still at large,
although bloodhounds from
the state prison are trailing

many classes Of construction work.
ers In Chicago were made today by
Judge Lands in a decision which,
1t was believed, would end the con-
troversy and open the way for pro-
jects valued at $50,000,000. The
old pay was s1.25 an hour. Consid-
ering the elimination of all restric-
tions ON labor saving machinery

Judge lands estimated the saving
in actual cost Of building would be
about 20 per cent.

declared the decision the most mo-
mentous ruling of its kind. build

ment, but at once planned meet

reductions ordered.
T. S. Kearney. president of the

abide by Judge lands decision,

Mellon were puIlt around an esti-
mated tax yield requirement Of
approximately $3,700, 100000 next
year, or some s750.000.000 more
than provided for in the house bill.
They contemplated new sources of
revenue such as the 1 cent increase
in first class postage, a stamp tax
of cents on each bank check, and
"a graduated license tax on auto
mobiles to average $40 yearly for
each machine, and increased levies
on cigarettes and tobacco to yield
an additional $50,000.000 annually.
The original total tax yield as
given by Mr.. Mellon is approxi-
mately that which some members
o. the senate believed will be nee
essary next year.
Others. and particularly the
democrats are Of the opinion ap-
proximately four billions Of dollars
Will have to be raised.
Some committee democrats in
Gicated today that they desired to
question the secretary as to the
purpose of the authorization con-
tained in the house measure for
the treasury to issue an additional
$500,000,000 to in short dated se-
curities. They desire to know,
they said. whether this authority
was requested by him in the belief
that the deficit under the house
tax measure would total that sum.
After Secretary Mellon has been
heard the committee will get down
to revising the house measure and
considering general questions of
policy. Chairman Penrose said II
was the purpose to have the bill
ready for the senate September 21.

United States senate thinks OF
New Mexicos senator is the state
ments of some OF the senate lead
Ners.
Senator James Il. Watson, Of In
diana, speaking of Senator Bur-
SUMS campaign for re-eleclon'
said:
New Mexico should elect Holm
O. Bursum to the United States
senate.
This is duty the people Of the
state owe to themselves. In Sena-
tor Bursum they have an earnest
and convincing advocate of their
interests. Although a member OF
the senate but a short time he has
been very active in behalf of New
Mexican affairs and unusually sue
cessful in getting things done for
[ his state and his section of the
United states.
"The republicans of the senate
desire Senator Bursum's election.
He has proved his dependability,
his willingness to tackle any job as
signed to him and his ability to get
it done. He speaks out of wide
experience regarding the issues
which particularly and yitally al
feet the great southwest and his
advice has proved timely and wise.
New Mexico's special election
Is generally regarded as the open
ing skirmish in the campaign OF
1922. One of the youngest OF the
sisterhood of states, she has the
exceptional opportunity to take
the lead and point the way for her
older sisters. The size OF the ma
jority she will give Senator Bur-
sum should be such as to leave no
doubt throughout the nation that
the people are standing squarely
behind the republican administra-
tion."
Senator Charles Curtis OF Kan
sas, is the republican whip" of the
senate. AS such, his duties bring
him into intimate contact with
every republican senator and af-
fords him exceptional opportunity
to size them up. Senator Curtis,
speaking of Mr.. Bursum, said:
Senator Bursum is q republic
can senator upon whom we can al
ways depend. He is on the job
early and late. whether it Is in
committee work or on the floor of
the senate. No member of the
senate is more conscientious
worker or stick closer to the duties
of his office than Senator Bursum.
Although one of the new sena-
tors he has proved to be a very
valuable man in the senate. Be-
cause of his loyalty to the repub-
lican administration and to the re-
publican majority in the senate,
and because of his untiring efforts
in behalf of the people of New
Mexico, for whose interests and
welfare Senator Bursum is always
alert. l hope the voters of the
state will pile up a great big ma
jority for him on September 20"
One of the most important sem
