DEFER ACTION ON KNOX PEACE
 RESOLUTION

Washington, April 16-Republican leaders of the Senate agreed tenta- lively today upon a legislative pro- gram they expect to make effective inn mediately following ratification of the Colombian treaty on Wednesday next. The Republican steering committee will probably put teeth into the program early next week.
 Passage of the Emergency Tariff Bill by the week end, in virtually the same form the House passed it last night, is the first part of the pro gram Changes in the House valua- tions and anti-dumping provisions are anticipated but Senator Penrose, Pennsylvania, chairman of the Sen ate finance committee, who will have charge of the bill, is confident it will encounter little or no delay in reach ing the President for his approval.
 Action on the Knox peace resolu- ton, now before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee will be deferred until the Colombian treaty is out of the way and probably until after the emergency tariff is disposed of.
 The program also embraces early passage by the Senate of the bill creating a national budget system; that restricting immigration; and the army and navy appropriations bill which failed of passage at the close

 Have Limited
 Power of Veto

Powers with relation to the welfare 1 of dependent, uncared for, neglected and delinquent children, now vested in the state board of charities, are in l creased and transferred to proposed commissioner of child welfare under | a. substitute for the so-called child welfare bill which has been agreed upon by the legislative committee on humane institutions and will be re- ported favorabIy in the House of Representatives on Tuesday.
 County commissioners are given veto power over the child welfare commissioner in the appointment of an assistant commissioner in each county to have charge of the placing out of children from temporary county homes and the state board of him in the removal of deputy com missioners and assistants, as well as in the granting, revocation or suspen-
 sion of licenses to institutions, aSen-
 cies and persons having the custody
 of dependent, uncared for and neg
 lected children.
 While the licensing authority for such institutions is taken away from the state board of charities, except
 affect county or state public in
 stitutionS, the board is made the
 court of appeal from decisions of the
 com missioner, in practically the same
 capacity as the governor is given the
 final authority over the state board
 of charities in such matters under
 existing statutes. The new bill gives
 the state board power to reverse the
 decision of the commissioner in any license matter and provides that the
 filing of such appeals shall act as an injunction against the operation of whatever decision the commissioner
 may have made.
 | The bill carries an appropriation of | S16O,0OO for the work of the coming | two years, from which the commis- Sioner of welfare would be paid an | annual salary of S5.OOO ApDointmeut | of the commissioner if left to the
 governor, but his selection is con- | fined to nominations of the state | board of charities. In addition to the l assistant allowed for each county, he l would be authorized to appoint such | deputy commissioners or other as | sistants as may be necessary for the work and as shall be duly appropriat- ! ed for,'' and also to remove any of i them for just cause, with the ap- l proXal of the state board of charities.

Irish Concert Promises
 Rare Delight to All

When Cathal O'Byrne appears on the stage of the Casino for his con- cert tomorrow night, supported by Miss Lily Meagher, vocalist, of New York, and Tom Ennis, the chief ex- ponent of Irish pipe music in the United States today, there will be waited on the air of Bridgeport the aroma of the Emerald Isle. For Mfr. O'Byrne in both his appearance and songs is redolent of the soil of Ireland There is nothing so start lingly realistic in the music which he interprets as it's simplicity. It is Ireland from north to South,. and east to west.
 Dressed in the native garb of the Gael, the saffron kilt with dark tunic, relieved by scarf caught up by a silver buckle over the left shoulder, this representative of the ancient that national soul which has been portrayed a thousand times in the patriots and martyrs of Ireland

At the beginning of the Sim Fein movement in 1905 he was one of its champions and has cor'einued so since. AS writer and poet his name stands par excellence among the new school of Celtic literary men and as singer he occupies pre-emnent place among Irish vocalists. His songs to- morrow night will inclnde 'The Fog cy Dew traditional; old lullaby, :.The Castle of Dromore,' Tyrone; country ballad, My Love Nell,' Ul- :ter: folk song. ''The Suffering Low ere Innishmurry: ''Whack-fol-the- did6Ie'' Dublin; "Billy Byrne of Ball. 1nanus."
