Chris Kelley, thirty-seven years
old. of $50 State street, is held by
the local police on a charge of grand
larceny as the result of his appre-
hension last night by Officer James
Nolan after a chase of several
blocks. Kelley is accused of the
theft of a sixty pound bar of silver
from the Raritan Copper Works.
Tht recious metal was slung across
the mans shoulder in a piece CT
gunny sacking when he was taken
into custody.
According to Nolan's account of
the apture as revealed in his for
NAL report to headquarters, he was
standing near the police call box
at Madison avenue and Jefferson
street at $3.50 o'clock last night
when he saw a man come up Jeffer-
son street and turn into Madison
avenue. The policeman saw the sack
suspended across the mans shoulder
and became curious about the con-
tents.
Nolan followed the bearer of the
sack for a short distance. but was
soon noticed by his quarry. who
then broke into run. The officer
chased Kelley for a short distance,
but failed to overtake him SO he
drew his revolver and fired a shot
after the fugitive. Turning off JEFF
ferson street Kelley ran into the
field in the rear of Johnson's gar
age. where he was overtaken and
arrested by Patrolman Nolan.
1t was then discovered that the
sack contained the large silver in
got. With the present price of sill
YER approximately 81 an ounce the
bar is worth about $500.
Kelley is held at the police station
to await a hearing tomorrow morn
ing before Recorder Harold E. Pick
ersgill at the police court session.
Kelley was an employe of the
Raritan Copper Works and Mas
ccnfessed the theft of the silver
bar according to A. C. Clark, the
general manager of the plant. Mr..
Clark said that Kelley admitted
that he made his way into the works
last night. although not on duty, by
climbing over the fence and went

DUBLIN, Dec. 10 (By The Asso-
ciated Press)-The Dali Eireann
WI ich met shortly before noon today
had begun consideration of mo-
tions for and against ratification of
the Anglo-Irish treaty, and adjourn
ed at 1 o'clock until $3.50 p. m.
There was every indication that the
speech making would continue
through tomorrow.
An interesting feature of the first
session was the disclosure that Ea-
mon de Valera had submitted to
last weeks private meeting an all
tentative proposal to the agree
ment signed in London. He ex-
planned he had done this in an effort
to secure unanimity in the Dali.
Arthur Griffith for ratification of
the treaty and that of Eamon. de
Valera for rejection, were the out
standing features of the morning
debate with Michael Collins yet to
be heard.
Intense excitement prevailed and
the speakers voices were deep with
feeling. 1t was difficult to judge
the sentiment Of the Dali by the vol
ume of the applause given the va
rious members who spoke. 1t
peared evenly divided as between
Griffith and de Valera.
Speakin on his motion, Mr..
Griffith said this was not a ques-
ton of the mere rights of the peo-
pie. 1t was a question of the lives
and fortunes of the people of Ire
land. and he was not going to hide
from the Irish people what Presi-
dent de Valera's alternative propo-
sal would mean.
Speaking with great feeling Mr..
Griffith defined, the agreement
reached with the British plenipo-
tentiaries in London.
Not once did we demand recog-
milton of the Irish republic. knowing

to the silver refinery where he is
employed, when on duty.
Kelley is said to have admitted
standing around the room for some
time awaitin his chance. When
he saw an opportunity he seized
the bar of metal and succeeded in
carrying it 700 feet across the fac
tory yard where he climbed the
fence and made his escape. He was
making off with his loot when cap
tured by Patrolman Nolan.
Mr.. Clark has signed the COM
plant charging Kelley with grand
larceny and will appear against
him at the police court session to-
morrow morning.

Civil War Threatened

LONDON, Dec. 19 (By The Asso-

arising from listers opposition 10
the proposed revision of her boun-
dary under the Irish peace treaty is
seriously threatened according 10 the
political correspondent of the West
minister Gazette. Ulster is deter
mined that mot one loyalist shall be
sacrificed against his will to the
Sim Fein" he said and adds: she
CUlster) will certainly not appoint a
representatioA to the boundary COM
mission and if the commission oper-
ates without her consent and allo-
Gates any part of her territory to
the southI there will be civil war"
The correspondent does not be-
lieve that Ulster is bluffing and said
she fears that if the commission sits
considerable tract of territory will
be taken, leaving Ulster only about
four counties. In the face of such
reduction Ulster would have to
abandon her policy of aloofness as
the government would be unable to
carry on with the area thus reduced.

violence and robbery, fabricated out
OF whole sloth by young girl who
desired to account for the fact that
she had no pay envelope to take
home on Saturday, was brought to
the attention Of the police on Sat-
urday night when fifteen year old
girl approached Patrolman Alfred
Christopherson and breathlessly re-
lated the following marvel of in
genuity.
According to her story she had
been held up on Alpine street near
the Central railroad tracks by two
Hungarians. They had torn her
ccat. bruised her throat and taken
Sill from her, she said. The two
men perpetrating the outrage were
described by the indignant girl as
being smooth faced, medium height
and evidently foreigners. The at
tack was declared to have happened
at IL o'clock. In proof of the state
rents the girl exhibited her coat
torn to shreds. and bruises on her
neck.
An investigation into the affair
was Immediately instituted by the
local police and through Detective

Hughes Ratio Laid Down at
Washington Conference
Accepted by French
HARVEY so TELLS HUGHES
Conference Held in London
Between U, S. Ambassador
and French Premier
HARVEY so TELLS HUGHES

WASHINGTON, Dec. 10 (By The
Associated Press) :-Unofficia ad-
vices from London and Paris saying
France accepted the naval ratiJ pro-
posed for her by the American gov
ernment created something of SEN
eation in arms conference circles to-
day, because the development gener-
ally was interpreted as marking one
of the longest steps yet taken to-
ward a. naval reduction agreement.
The request of the French naval ex-
perts here for capital ship tonnage
twice as great as that provided in
the American plan had brought the
negotiations to a rather critical
. stage and a long and, perhaps. stub
b6rn debate had been forecast gem
, orally.
The result of the settlement ef-
fected in London between Premier
BRAND and Ambassador Harvey, it
was said. would be to clear the way
at last for consideration of details
of the naval program and perhaps
for an early conclusion of the whole
conference.
LONDON. Dec. 19 (By The Asso-
ciated Press) France wills accept
the original naval ratio laid down
by Secretary Hughes at the Wash
ington conference, Premier BRAND
Informed George Harvey. the Amer
ican ambassador, at their meeting
last night. He authorized the am
bassador to notify the American
government to that effect.
Although Premier Brands au-
thorization which has already been
conveyed to the French delegation
in Washington and the American
state department, makes no men
ton of submarines there is reason to
believe the French proposal regard
ing undersea craft was discussed by
Nj. BRAND and Ambassador Harvey.
1t is limited that the French may
have more to say on this subject.
Accepts Hughes Proposal.
PARIS, Dec. ia dispatch
from London to the semi official
Havas agency this morning said Pre-
mier BRAND, receiving the American
ambassador in London, informed
him that France accepted Secretary
of State Hughes proposal regarding
capital ship tonnage as follows:
United States 5; England, 5; Japan,
3; France, 1.7O; Italy. 1.6S.
The Interpretation put upon Pre-
mier Brands interview with AM
bassador Harvey in official circles
here this forenoon was that Frances
acceptance of the American point of
view as 10 naval tonnage was an ac-
ceptance ''in principle" only, so far
as capital ships were concerned. and
that 1t did not alter the French in
sistence upon adequate allowances of
submarines and cruisers.
1t also was declared that SO far
as the official advices received here
showed, no definite ratio have yet
been accepted by France.
