DUN'S STATEMENT

NEW YORK, Aug. 2b. - DunS to- morrow will say:
 AS the end of summer approaches, hopes of further gains in business are strengthened and sentiment grows more confident. Nothing in the pres ent situation suggests that sudden and general activity will follow the recent slow and irregular improve ment, but a stronger basis now exists for subsequent betterment of condi- tions. A gradual diminution of price uncertainties as markets become more settled is potent factor in cer- tain quarters, and some relaxation of credit restrictions as monetary strain are modified is also a constructive in fluence. Progress in trades that were quickest to experience recovery from depression, as m textiles, have met with no interruption, while some lines
 hat have been laggards in the move ment, notably iron and steel, are be- ginning to participate moderately in current revival. After months of changes in various channels, any change now may conceivably be in the right direction, and evidence that buyers interest is being rekindled ap- pears in the increasing number of fu- ture orders and inquiries.

 be futile, unless some definite prog ress is made towards acceptance of a basis.
 You declare our proposals involve ;he surrender of Irelands whole na- tional tradition and reduce her to subserviance. What are the facts :? Under the settlement we outlined, ireland would control every nerve and fibre of her national existence. She would speak her own language and make her own religious life; she would have complete power over tax ation and finance, subject only to an agreement for keeping trade and Tween herself and Great Britain, her pest market.
 She would have uncontrolled au- thority over education and all the moral and spiritual interests of her race; she would have it also over Jaw and order, over land and agricui- ture; over conditions of labor and in- dustry, over the health and honor of ner people, and over her own de- own defense.
 She would, in fact, within the shores Of Ireland, be free in every respect of national activity, national expression and national development The states of the American union, sovereign they De, enjoy no such range of rights.
 Our proposals go even further, for they invite Ireland to take her place as partner in the great common wealth of free nations, united by al |'legiance to the king.
 We consider these proposals com pletely fulfill your wishes that the principle of government by the con sent of the governed should be the broad and guiding principle of the settlement which your plenipotentiar- ies are to negotiate. That principle was first developed in England and is the handspring of the representa- tive institutions which she was first | to create. 1t was spread by her | throughout the world and is now the very life of the British common wealth.
 Far-Fetched Claims We could not have invited the | Irish people to take their place ir that commonwealth on any other priI ciple and we are convinced that | through it we can heal old misunder standings and achieve an enduring | partnership as honorable to Ireland

 Present Crisis Dangerous
 T do not think it can reasOnabl! be contended that the relations be tween Great Britain and Ireland are in any different case.
 "I thought I had made it clear, both in my conversations with you and in my two subsequent communications, that we can discuss no settlement which involves a refusal on the part of Ireland to accept our invitation to free, equal and loyal partnership in sovereign
 .I am reluctant to precipitate this issue, but just point out that a pro longation of the present state of af- fairs is dangerous. Action is,,being taken in various directionss which, if continued, would prejudice the truce and must ultimately lead to it's ter imitation. This would indeed be de plorable.
 While, therefore, prepared to make every allowance as to time which will advance the cause of peace, we can not prolong a mere exchange of notes It is essential that some definite and immediate progress should be made towards a basis upon which further negotiations can usefully proceed Your letter seems to us, unfortunate ly, to show no such progress.
 Tn this and my previous letters, have set forth the consideration which must govern the attitude of His Majesty's government in any negotia tions which it undertakes. If you ar. i prepared to examine how far these considerations can be reconciled witf i the aspirations you represent, I shal ] be happy to meet you and your col I leagues.

are just across the street from that
and three blocks from where we lived
when you were here. Now will tell
you that the water just lacked foul
blocks of getting US. 1t was some
food. About three hundred were
drowned and they only found about
seventy-fve bodies. The loss was
several million dollars. The water
was up about eighteen feet in thu
Gunther Hotel and every store il
town was full. Everything was ruin
ed in the Easements and all plat
glass windows broken out in mos
every building, IN Houston and Com
merce streets. Breckenridge Parl

Early Fair in Mexico Famous
ThroughoutStat lst Held 1859

.l- -grHMEN ~ MOO
People in Mexico are becoming in
terested in the idea Of having an an
nual fair again. ePrhaps but few Of
them, however know that the Mexico
Fair used to be famous throughout
the State and that as early as 1859
the first fair was held.
In 1859 while Mexico was yet quite
a small town and Audrain a young
county a desire to hold a county ag-
ricultural and mechanical fair and to
make an exhibit of the products Of
the county took a firm hold upon the
leading citizens of the county and
such well known men as John M.
Gordon and others formed the Aud
rain County Agricultural and Mech
anical Association, with Robert E.
Sinclair at its head.
That year the fair ground was
equipped and a meeting held. Then

The grounds contained a few acres

closed, a half-mile track built, a goot
amphitheatre erected and the grounds
improved. By 1891 the number o.

KILLS BRIDE OF
THREE MONTHS AND
Then SHOOTS SELF

Ernest Sisson, 81 years old, shot
and killed his bride of three months,
Mrs. Susan Sisson, 80, after a quarrel
in a room Of his home in Fulton
Thursday, reloaded his 32-calibre re-
volver and shot himself in the right
temple.
He died an hour later without Civ
ing a motive for the act.
Mrs. Sisson was shot three times
in the abdomen and one in the head.
Sisson shot and killed his own
father in 1917 and had recently been
discharged from the State Hospital
after a term Of observation directed
by the jury who acquitted him Of
murder because of alleged insanity.
Since then he had been working as
a kitchen helper at the institution.
Mrs. Sisson had been a widow, and he
also had been married before.
The couple quarreled early in the
evening, neighbors told the police,
over some action on Mrs. Sisson's
part which aroused her husbands
jealousy. He attempted to beat her
and she ran out to the front porch of
their home,
A boarder who was sitting there
warned her not to go back into the
house and the quarrel. She
refused to heed his advice and after a
few minutes of argument five shots
sounded in quick succession.
Before persons in the neighborhood
could reach the room three more shots
were heard. Mrs. Sisson was found
lying on the floor, with her husbands
unconscious body near by. The woman
was dead. Sisson did not regain con-
seriousness.
Released on Parole.
Ford Sisson, the slayer's father
was killed by him after q quarrel or
the family's farm near Bowling Green
Mo-, four years ago. He pleaded in
sanity and was remanded to the State
Hospital for the Insane here. He wai
released March %, 1919, On a short
parole, which was gradually extended
as Sisson showed no evidence Of men
tai incapacity.
His wife was employed with him Al
a kitchen helper in the hospital. The!
had quarreled several times before
neighbors said, but Mrs. Sisson ha'
never expressed any fear of her hus
band.
Sisson is survived by a son, J.
years old, and a small daughter, chill
dren by a former marriage.
