this evening, with extreme tension in

it has been the task of the workers

that there has been an unprecedented
rush Of motor cars through the streets
and haranguing of voters, raising pas

Soldiers Aid Police.
In all sections where Protestants

have been Incidents" which required
the attention of the police. Ballymac-
Garrett, despite the fact that Catholics
were largely driven from it's confines
last July, proved to be the hottest cor.
ner of the city. The police, reinforced
by soldiers in armored cars, are in
possession of the streets.
Trouble was started when Protest
ants held a demonstration outside of
st. Matthew's Catholic church, and
was intensified when a Sim Feiner
raised a flag in a Protestant street.
Stone throwing and a few pistol shots
were exchanged before the police
broke up the crowds.

Say Further Trouble Unlikely.

Duluth-Aided by heavy local rains,
the combined forces of state and Fed.
eral forestry men, reinforced by crews
of recruited guards, gained control of
forest fires in the Minnesota state and
Superior national forest areas in North
eastern Minnesota. The fires started
Friday and were at their worst when
a stiff wind prevailed throughout the
district.
Estimates from guards and yolun-
teer fire fighters placed the loss at
several thousand dollars. Lumber
firms with holdings in the devastated
area were unable to report d tangible

Unanimous Approval Given, Pro-
/ posal For International Ma
val Conference.
BILL ADOPTED "a TO 0
Harding Asked to Invite Great Britain
and Japan to Parley-ResoIution
Would Produce Five-Year
Naval Holiday.

Observation-Disclosures Senate APP
proval was given to Senator Borah's
proposal for an international naval dis
armament conference.
By a vote Of "A to 0, the Idaho SEN
ator's amendment was added to the
naval appropriation bill authorizing
and requesting the President to invite
the governments of Great Britain and
Japan to send representatives to a con-
ference with representatives of the
United States in an effort to reach
some agreement on disarmament.
Absentees Favor Move.
The vote was in conformity with the
understanding reached last week by
administration forces to give their sup
port to Senator Borah's plan. Besides
the 46 Republicans and % Democrats
voting for the amendment, announce
ments were made on behalf of many
absentees that they too favored the
disarmament plan.
The text of the amendment follows:
"That the President is authorized
and requested to invite the govern
ments of Great Britain and Japan to
send representatives to a conference
which shall be charged with the duty
of promptly entering into an UNDER
standing or agreement by which the
naval expenditures and building pre-
grams of each of said governments,
to wit, the United States, Great Bri-
tain and Japan. shall be substantially
reduced annually during the next five
years to such an extent and upon such
terms as may be agreed upon, which
understanding or agreement is to be
reported to the respective governments
for approval"
Goes to Conference.
Upon passage of the bill, the amend
ments will go to conference with the
House but its advocates believe it will
be Endorsed and then approved by Pre-
sident Harding.
With the Borah amendment incor-
porated an effort was made to reach
a vote on passage of the bill, but this
was frustrated by debate arising on
minor amendments, Senators LaFol-
lette, Republican, Wisconsin, and King,
Democrat, Utah, also had several
amendments pending. The latter
promised to introduce several to
abolish what he termed useless navy
yards and depots.

U. S. OUTLINES TERMS
Conditions Stated for Recoeni

Hughes Tells Oregon He Must Sign
Agreement to Protect Amer
lean Interests.

: Washington-A definite statement
outlining the conditions upon which the
United States would extend recogni.
ton to the Obregon government OF
Mexico has been prepared for submits
sion to President Obregon.
This statement in the form Of a
memorandum, it was said, will be deliv.
cred to Obregon by Geo. T. Summer.
lin, counsellor of the American en-.
bassy at Mexico City, who is expected
to leave for Mexico this week.
He was summoned here by the secre'
try Of state to give first hand informa'
tion concerning the situation.
The conditions for recognition, it is
understood, are practically identical
with the recommendations made by
Secretary Fall in his report at the last
session of Congress, as chairman of q
sub committee of the Senate foreign
relations committee which investigated
the Mexican question.
Protection For Americans.
The important feature Of the com
munication is said to be tnsistence thai
-. E..
Obregon must sign some documents
giving assurances that Americans an6
their interests will be properly safe
guarded in Mexico. If such assurances
are given it is believed that Henry P
Fletcher, under secretary of state, who
was ambassador to Mexico for a time
under the Wilson administration, will
be designated to represent the United
States in drafting a treaty.
The communication contains nothing
which can justify its being character
lied as an ultimatum, but it is under
stood the Mexican executive will be
left in no doubt as to the determinatio1
of the American administration to SET
that American interests are not in
definitely Disseminated against. 1t il
said to have been prepared in collabor
alton with Secretary Fall.

100000 Voted for Retention Of
700 Enforcement Agents
Until July 1.
KRAMER IS ATTACKED
Commissioner Violated Penal Provision
of Law by Increasing Deficit and
Liable to jail Sentence, Says
Chairman Good.

Washington-After heated discussion
OF the prohibition question during
which Commissioner Kramer was bit.
terly criticized and as vigorously de.
Tended, the House voted an additional
100000 for enforcement of the Vol.
stead act until July 1.
Representative Volstead proposed
the increase in the total of the defcien.
cy appropriation bill, to permit reten.
ton of 700 prohibition agents, who Mr..
Kramer had announced would be drop.
ped for the remainder Of the fiscal
year, because of shortage of funds.
Vote Is IT to SO.
The Volstead amendment was adopt.
ed, " to 80, less than one-fourth OF
the House membership being on the
House floor at the time, but another
vote on the increase can be demanded
before the bill is passed.
Even the members who favored the
amendment, however, doubted whether
it would afford relief in time to be of
much value, inasmuch as the bill after
passage by the House must go to the
Senate.
Senator Good of the appropriations
committee, said Mr.. Kramer had vic.
lated penal provisions OF. law by incur.
ring a deficit and had made himself
liable to Jail sentence"
Wants Kramer to Obey Law.
Il want Mr.. Kramer to obey the law
just as much as bootleggers," he de.
clared. adding that $6,900,000 already
had. been appropriated for prohibition
enforcement during the current fiscal
year.
Representative Madden, Republican,
Illinois, said Mr.. Kramer should have
appealed for funds to Congress through
the Secretary of the Treasury instead
of through the newspapers and assert
ed that ne fought to be discharged"
MIR. Kramer, on the other hand, was
defended by Representative Byrns,
Tennessee, ranking Democrat on the ap.
preparations committee, as a conscien.
tious official doing his best to enforce
the law.
voIstead Defends Kramer.
Mr.. Volstead also defended Mr.. IRA,
mer's administration. Declaring no es
innate for additional funds for prohibi
ton enforcement had been submitted
to the appropriations committee, Mr.
Byrns said that if the Secretary of the
Treasury had requested funds he would
have gotten all he wanted.
