NO DECISION IS
REACHED At TER
DAHL MEET INC
Private Session to Be Held
Today; Vote on Ratifica-
ton of Irish Treaty May
Come Sunday.

Dublin, Dec. 15,--The second pri-
vate session of the dali cream to-
day having under consideration the
Anglo-lrish treaty. lasted until
nearly p. m. and adjourned with
out reaching decision. 1t will re-
assemble in private session tomor-
row.
The most that can be said to-
night is that there is a strong possi-
bility that the public session at
which it is hoped to take a vote on
ratification may not be held until
Sunday. If matters should progress
no further tomorrow than today 1t
was thought likely that Saturdays
sitting would be private and that
the public session would be post
poned until next week.
The Interpretation placed on this
is that it is felt to be undesirable
to debate the controversial points
in detail before newspaper men and
that public sessions, of course, Will
be arranged beforehand. The peace
delegates and some Of their sup
porters are said to be determined to
afford themselves of an opportunity
OF stating in public to the dali cir
cam and through the dali to the
country, the reason why they re-
commend acceptance of the treaty
Opponents are equally anxious to
explain their objections. Some OBJ
ject to inclusion of Ireland in the
British empire and some to the
privy council as the supreme court
of appeal, and there are numerous
objections to assuming share or
Great Britain's war debts.
DR.. Ada English, woman mem
Der Of the dali, commenting on the
situation, said:
I'VE need strong man to get our
leaders together. We must have
this treaty"
Heated discussions were In
dulged in before this afternoons
meeting was called, various MEM
bers of the dali gathering In groups
about the corridors of the Univer-
sity college. They were so en-
crossed that the meeting which was
scheduled to assemble at 4 o'clock
was not actually called to order
until more than an hour later.
Even then, the members had to be
reminded that the speaker had call
ed the assembly to order.

Mr.. Elston, it was said. disap-
peared Tuesday, but was found by
detectives that evening. Within a
few hours, however, he again dis
appeared and that was the last seen

apparently had been suffering un-

had given no evidence of 1t until
he disappeared Tuesday. Upon be-
ing found that evening he was given
medical attention.
Failure of the government to UNI
dertake extensive development of
the Alameda, California, naval base
project was understood to have
been a cause of great concern to
him, as he had given close attention
to the plan. Whether other matters
pertaining to his district had also
weighed on his mind could not be
said tonight, although it was as
serted he had decided not to stand
for reelection.
Mr.. Elston's hat and overcoat
were found on the bank of the river
about the time the body was recov-
cred. The note said:
