aged. Happy picked up just as fast as
the Webb mule, but no faster. They
went along in that order with not more
than legnth between them from the
half to the three quarters.
Turning into the stretch the black
mule got flick Of the whip from Mrs
Webb and heightened her stride. She
opened up three lengths between the
albino rounding the turn, and it was
there the real race began.
Mrs. Roosevelt began talking ia
Happy, tickling him with the whip tas-
sci, and the albino showed what was
in him for the first time. He drew up
to half length from Nellie in dozen
strides, and was held there by his
driver until within a hundred yards
of the finish, where he was given a
loose line and businesslikc cut over
the off flank that set his ears back as
though they were glued to him.
Mrs. Webb heard the laundering of
Happy's hoofs behind her and knew it
was to be fighting drive for the wire.
She laid her long whip on Nellie's heav-
ing sides, and they went past the grand
stand amid tumultuous cheering by an
enormous crowd, finishing nose and nose
in dead heat. No such race was ever
run by mules on the Duchess course
before
For ten minutes after the finish the
result remained in doubt One half the
crowd thought Mrs. Webb had won and
the other half insisted Mrs. Roosevelt's 8
mule had finished in front by nose.
Then the numbers went up and both
drivers we're cheered uproariously as
they passed the judges, whips up, pro-
fessional fashion.

Special Cable to The Tribuns

Copyright, 1921. New York Tribune Inc.
INVERNESS, Scotland, Sept. 7r
The Sim Feiners have still another
chance to decide whether or not they
are willing to enter a conference for
the settlement of the Irish problem.
After a short session this afternoon
Of the British Cabinet, sitting in the
George summoned Robert c. Barton, q
representatives of Sim Fen, and de-
livered TO him the reply-cr ultimatum
which the British government is
sending to the Dahl Eireann. In ac-
cordance with the custom which has
been observed throughout these ne
gotiations, the note will not be pub
lished until it is received tomorrow
by Eamon de Valera. While Barton
was speeding toward Dublin tonight
many of the British Cabinet members
were on their way TO London.
Time Limit Forecast
committee of ministers, however,
is remaining in Scotland to hear De
Valera's reply, and it is believed from
this fact that the British government
in its message set a time limit in
which the Dali Eireann must decide
whether it will accept the offer.
Contrary to general expectations, the
Cabinet reached its decision quickly
to-day, the only point on which there
was serious difference being on the
question of fixing a time limit. APP
parently all the members were of The
opinion that the negotiations should
be carried at least one step further,
but some of them considered that it
would be unwise to give the appear
ance of coercion by setting q date be-
fore which the Dali must say yes or no. =
De Valera's unusual statement last
evening, in which he intimated that an
ultimatum from the British govern
ment would mean war. but in which
case, also, he apparently left the door
open for further ssegotiations, was in
terpreted in both London and Inver-
ness as indicative of a desire on the
part of the Dali Eireann to enter g
conference, and it was understood that
this had no small part in the decision

Only One Condition Made
in Reply to De Valera,
London Hears; Meeting
Place To Be Inverness
Ministers Select
Committee to Act
Further Note Exchanges
Held Useless; Coercion
of Ulster Is Forbidden

LONDON, Thursday, Sept. (By
The Associated Press The British
Cabinet has invited Mr.. de Valera to
send delegates to conference with
the Cabinet ministers at Inverness
on September 20, according to "The
Daily Mails" Inverness correspond
ent, who adds:
"Only one condition is imposed,
namely, the understanding that Ire
land must remain within the en-
pire."
Must Not Coerce Ulster
The communication to Mr.. de
Valera, according to. this dispatch,
asked for an early reply and points
out the apparent uselessness of con-
Quoting negotiations by further ex-
change of notes. In order to allay
any fears regarding Ulster, the de-
cision that northern Ireland must
not in any circumstances be coerced
was reaffirned by the ministers.
Dealing with the Cabinet meeting,
1.-The Daily Mail'' says:
"The Premier told the ministers
that he regarded the situation as
grave and critical and he was con-
vinced that further interchange of
notes was useless. One minister.
who had been in personal contact
with Sim Fein opinion, said he was
informed that it was the real fnten-
tion Of its leaders to secure a plebis-
cite of the Irish people after a fur
ther exchange of notes and to insure
that such plebiscite resulted in q
mandate for conference.
After the conflicting interpretations
placed in Ireland and England on the
latest Sim Fein note were referred 20
the Premier, he said it was necessary
to impose time limit and ascertain
beyond doubt whether the Sim Fein
was prepared to remain within the en-
pire. 1t so, a permanent settlement
was undoubtedly possible. If not.
further negotiations were useless The
Cabinet therefore should make another
effort to secure an agreement on this
point with all the blessings of peace e.
follow"
Thereupp the ministers quickly
made up their minds, and the decision
and invitation conveyed in the reply
were unanimous.

tending that Governor Small as chief exec
utive of Illinois is immune from arrest on
charges of cmbeZZlement, conspiracy ana
confidence game to defraud the state, that
chaos in state government would result
from his arrest and that the governor has
the power. if necessary. to call out state

ernor yesterday morning appeared IN
Judge r. :. Smiths court III an effort TO
persuade the court to have warrants for
the governor withdrawn.
The constitutional rights of the gov
ernor, they asserted, are above interior
Pnce by any branch of the Judiciary as
long as he is at the head of the state gov

Following advice of his counsel, Gov

StandarClizing Rural. Schools.
randolph Herald.)

| Considerable publicity has been given
i'm the state press Of late To action OF the
state board of education in adopting a
plan looking toward what is termed the
standardization of rural schools-a rather
| imposing and portentious phrase. it must
be admitted. but carrying no menace and
| plenty of promise when fully understood.
Under the new law, rural school is
defined To he a school of either one or two
rooms giving the prescribed rural school
course. SO that tins Standardization plan
extends to such schools only. Concededly.
these are the ones most deserving of spe-
cIal effort toward Improvement. To ex-
plain the nlan. il should be stated first
that there is nothing arbitrary or compul-
sorry about it. No school VIII lose any
thing it now has if it fails to embrace the
opportunities offered. 1t does stand TO
gain considerable. however. if it availS
itself of the incentives provided. and this
in very direct and helpful manner
The really promising feature of stand
ardization is that it affords the rural
towns and communities a chance to do
something for themselves. through the
stimulation. the direction and the cooper
alton of the state department. Just when
these communities awaken, and just 50
far as they awaken to this opportunity
will measure the dawn and progress of
community betterment. Besides the Gre
alton of this special branch of work the
state board has appropriated for the
year 1921 the sum Of $4,000 or so
much of it AZ may be required for direct
cooperation with towns and communities
in promoting the standardization of
schools under the plan adopted. Not more
than 5000 will be allotted to any one
school. nor more than that to any one
town in any one year. As many as 30
towns may be aided. however the coming
year. which il probably more than will
qualify. Up to the sum named. the state
will cooperate on a $3.50 basis. under
certain conditions. These are that when
the town or community shall have put in
one-half of the estimated expense incurred
In such improvements of the real estate
connected with the school property as the
survey shows to be necessary. and the
same have been approved by the inspector.
the state educational department will pro-
vide school equipment. furniture. library
etc, to an equal value. up to the limit of
5000 for a single school. or for more than
one school within n single town if the
total outlay does not exceed 5000 to the
state for the coming year. 1t is believed
that direct contact and cooperation of
this kind will be very helpful both TO the
educational department and to the COM
munities. Neighborhood movements that
mean the improvement of the local school
should be stimulated by a program of this
nature. At a moderate expense, in which
many interested ones may share. even by
labor the home school may become a
source of pride and satisfaction to the
little community about it, Or the towns
themselves may take hold of it if they
desire.
