Scientist Predicts
Sun Will Furnish Heat
And Power for World

New York, Sept. 8.-The next
great achievement OF science will be
utilization OF the suns rays TO pro-
vide light, heat and power.
This prediction was made by DR..
A. D.. Little of Boston. in an address
at the international convention OF
chemists.
According to DR.. Little, the sun
alone is worthy of scientific investi-
cation as a source of energy. He
said he presumed chemistry would
play an important part in harnessirg
solar rays to suppiant dwindling
supplies Of coal, petroleum, and other
sources OF energy.
Attacking the claim that labor is
the great producer OF energy, DR..
Little asserted a few men with brains
could apply scientific principles to
accomplish what mere muscle would
not do.

expected by the management. The
turnstiles registered only 52,lO4 TO-
Gay, as compared with 58,4l3 on the
corresponding day last year. The
number of automobiles on the
grounds decreased from $3.50 to
4,5oo, as compared with last year.
w. ]. Bryan was the principal at
traction in the speaking line, at the
fair. He spoke on the "Middleman."
He characterized the 1niddleinan as
the last person, from consumer to
producer, to reduce prices. Mr..
Bryan spoke in the auditorium for
about an hour.
Governor McKelvie also spoke
briefly.
Although not as large as expected
the Omaha delegation to tie fair
made marked impression. Bright
eolored hat bands, with the word
Omaha on the front, were to be
seen everywhere on the grounds.
Tomorrow will be the last big day
Of the fair. The Saturday attendance
is always smaller, while exhibitors

Unemployed in
London Stage Big
Demonstration
Serious Disorders Narrowly
Ayerted as Workless Work
ers Riot in Cities Of
England.

London, Sept. 8.-Demonstration:
by the unemployed were helt
throughout England yesterday ane
iii several cities serious disorder:
were narrowly averted. An ugly
spirit was in evidence at Bristol
where a crowd attacked the build
ing occupied by the board oi
guardians and clashed with the po.
lice. Banners were broken and red
flag was captured by the police
Finally, the gates before the build
ing were opened and large body
of constables charged upon the
crowd, which was dispersed, but the
windows in 100 shops were smashed
by the manifestants.
Exciting scenes were witnessed in
Liverpool. After an encounter with
the police, unemployed workers pre-
sented to the council a 10-minute
ultimatum, threatening that at the
expiration OF that time, they would
not be responsible for the conse-
quence. The lord mayor assured the
leaders in the demonstration that a
plan would be formulated for find
ing work.
One Of the notable demonstrations
occurred in Wales where 1900 people
marched across the mountains from
Abertillery to Tredegar, distance
of IL miles. A similar manifestation
in Sunderland eliminated in an at
tempt to force the gates of the
workhouse. Failing in this, men,
bers of the crowd entered the
guardian buildings, but the police
elected them.

Irish Assured
OF Meeting With
British Cabinet
Lloyd Georges Letter to De
Valera Sets No Time Limit
On Negotiations
For Peace.
By The A,sociated Press.

London, Sept. S.-Prerier Lloyd
Georges letter to Eamon de Valera,
Irish republican leader, forwarded to
Dublin after the meeting Of the Brit.
ish cabinet at Inverness yesterday.
seems at last to insure that Sim Fein
pler1ipotentiaries will meet the spe-
cial committee of cabinet ministers al
Inverness September 20, to clear up
any ambiguity the Sim Fein leaders
may entertain about the conditions
their government stipulated as reser-
vations in granting Ireland a do
nlinion status.
The prelnier's letter is character
lied by punctilious consideration for
the Sim Fein. While it suggests a
date for the proposed conference, it
is in no sense an ultimatum and sets
no time limit to the negotiations. In
fact, it tends to prove that he earn-
estly desires settlement.
Expect De Valera to Accept.
I'VE have invited you 10 discuss
our proposals on their merits" he
says and he adds that It will be open
to the Irish leaders to raise the sub.
iect Of guarantees on any point.
The belief is almost universal that
Mr.. De Valera will accept-!hat what
the premier offers is what Mr.. De
Valera desires, namely. IN untram-
melled conference, with the single
condition that ireland remain in the
British empire. The guarantees Mr..
De Valera is supposed 70 have in
mind are memberships in the league
o. nations and the don1inion's con-
ference and these, it is believed, the
government would be willing to
grant.
Assuming that the conference will
meet as suggested, there is still the
question of Ulster, which is not
touched in the premier's letter. Mr..
Lloyd Georges original proposal was
tor a tripartite conference, including
Ulster, but up to the present there is
no sign Ulster has yielded in its de-
termination to base itself On the home
rule act and the northern parliament.
Ulster Still Problem.
A representative of the government.
in an interview at Inverness. said
that in the event of the conference
failing, the government would pro-
ceed with the home rule ;:ct, which,
by inference, may be interpreted to
mean that the government regards
the act in partial allowance.
Even should the proposed confer
ence at Inverness surmount the ini-
tial difficulties, there wop.d still re-
main Ulster. on which Mr.. De Va
lera holds strong views. The ques-
hon of the desire of Fernanagh and
Tyronne to be separated from the
northern parliament also S likely to
be raised and this would bring
bitter conflict with Ulster
