De Valera's S Letter Mel
ther Acceptance or Re-

Premier s Departure for
London Creates No
Excitement in Dublin.

Dublin, Aug. 12.--(By the Associat
ed Press. THE letter from Eamonn
de Valera, Irish republican leader. deliv
cred to Premier Lloyd George Thurs
day, is neither an acceptance nor a re-
lection of the Irish peace proposals, it
was learned here Friday. The letter
raises various questions to which au
answer is necessary. The answer may
serve to facilitate future dealings. it
was said, and is not expected to lead
to break in negotiations.
There was no excitement in Dublin
over Mr.. Lloyd Georges departure
from Paris. as it was said that no un-
expected development had occurred in
the Irish discussions. When Mr.. de
Valera left London. it was recalled by
Irish leaders. the statement had beer
given out that basis had not been
found for further conferences and il
was stated in Irish circles that the time
since Mr.. de Valera's conversations
with the British prime minister mere
ly had been spent in trying to find this
basis. 1t has not yet been found, it
was added.

APPARENTLY TRYING
STRETCH GROWTH
Physical Culture Reading
Leads to Theory; Found !
by Father, Who's Held.

Butte, Aug. 12.-Suggestive physical
literature describing methods Of neck
stretching is believed by police and
county officials to have been the direct
cause for the hanging of Charles N.
Roberts, 15-year old son of DR.. G. NJ
Roberts, chirporactor, whose body was
found hanging to the transom in his
room by his father at 1870 o'clock
Friday morning.
An abundance Of physical culture
literature, dime novel and few
detective stories were found in the
boys room. His friend, Jess DAILY, a
19-year- old boy. said that the Roberts
lad had an ambition to grow big and
strong and that he had been reading
closely physical culture literature de-
scribng how the neck could be
stretched and made bigger By exercise.
The father of the boy is being held,
pending additional Investigations. An
element of mystery, which is battling
the police, is the fact that the door
was found doubly locked with a bolt
and Yale lock.
