IRELAND WILL
 REJECT STATUS ps UT UUWIIvuUV
Republican Leader de Valera Makes Announcement
 Private Sessions.

DUBLIN, Aug. 17.-The public meeting of the Republican Parlia' ,ment adjourned this afternoon to an indefinite date. Private sessions of the Parliament members will begin tomorrow.
 ,lt. Eamonn de Valera, Republican | leader, at today's session, declared Parliament would not accept the British proposals extending Do minion status to Ireland. He declared the proposals really did not include Dominion status.
 For the first time today the let ter written by General Shuts, South African Premier, to Eamonn de Va lera, on August A. relative to the British government offering Ireland a Dominion status, was made public.
 Urged to Make Peace
 "The British Prime Minister" wrote General Shuts in the course of his letter, "offers a complete Do minion status to the 26 counties, sub. ject to certain strategic safeguards which you are asked to agree to vol untarily as free Dominion. It is far more than was offered the Trans. vaal and the Free State"
 General Shuts, in the letter. as serted there existed an impasse. This, he said.. was that both Sir James Craig, the Ulster Premier, and Mir de Valera were equally immov- able, the former maintaining that Ulster would not consent to a change from her present status. and the Re publican leader insisting that Ulster come under united Ireland con stitution.
 The letter adds:
 Pray God that you all (Sinn Fein. CTS, Ulsterites and British). will be wisely guided and conclude peace before your tempers change and per. haps another generation of strife en- sues."
 Force as a solution of the prob lem is out of the question. The proc. ess of arriving at an agreement will therefore. take time"
 Any solution on the lines of Ulster coming into an Irish state was fore doomed to failure at the present, he said. General Shuts urged Mir. de

The Serbian throne which Peter I. ascended on June IS, 1903, was indelibly blood-soaked Suspicion, however circumstantial, that he in- stigated the butchery of his pre- decessor, had never been completely removed. As lately as 1911 when King Peter made a tour of Europe he received something of a royal snub all along the line, for no one could forget the horror that sur rounded his title.
 It was on the night of June 10, 1903. that some 40 army officers forced entrance to the palace at Belgrade with dynamite, shot down all who stood in their way as they pressed on to the apartments of King Alexander and Queen Draga, and murdered their majesties as they crouched in corner of their chamber, embracing each other. Their bodies were horribly mutilated and cast through a, window, glass and all, into the palace park.
 On the same night more than fifty persons altogether were either kill ed or wounded. Among the dead were two cabinet ministers. who were shot down in their residences.
 Revolutionary Horror.
 The background of this revolu- tionary horror has never been brought sharply to focus. There are two families which have been des- potic in Serbia-the Karageorgo- witch and Obrenovitch families during the past 100 years. The for mer. from which King Peter was descended. established itself in part when Black George" the first con. spicuous member of the family, rose

 John Engleblad is dead and threa other men injured as the result of an auto wreck on the Glacier High
 way at 4:3O this morning when Buick car, driven by Herbert Moore, hit the ditch, climbed the bank, struck rock and spilled the occu- pants along the roadside. From all the evidence presented at the scene of the accident the car was going at a terrific rate of speed when it hit the ditch, as it sailed through the air distance of 30 feet, hitting only once between the time of leaving the bank until it came to it's final rest l ing place in the brush on the op. posite or beach side of the road. Scene of Accident
 [ The scene of the accident is about mile and a half from Juneau. 100 feet beyond the George Burford homestead on the Glacier Highway. The car was coming from the ndirec. tion of Salmon Greek and at slight bend in the road one of the front wheels hit the end of an old Q3nk road leading from the hillsides Ct the main road. When the wheel hit this plank it went into small ditch not much wider than the tire, ran along in that for a way, then two of the wheels ran along the bank on the upper side, while the other two wheels were on the main highway, giving the car an angle of more than 45 degrees. After running along in this position for a short distance a front wheel hit rock and the four occupants were spilled out. The car after spilling it's occupants shot out at right angles from the bank, leaped distance of about 30 feet, landed right side up on the opposite side of the road in : heavy underbrush, smashed it's lenders against stump and came to stop.

 It was at 4: 30 o'clock this morning that Moore, the driver of the death ear, stumbled to the door of the Bur ford home, leaving trail of blood behind him from numerous cuts in his face and body. George Burford accompanied him to the scene of the accident, where he saw John Engle- blad lying in the middle of the road with a coat pillowing his head J. w. Mcdonald had picked himself up from the ditch where he had lit and Edward Ringuette was in a dazed condition.

CHICAGO. December 2S.-A broad
view of the business situation in this
section shows both good and bad
indications, but the further the view
is extended into the future the more
cheerful conditions appear. the
trade in iron and steel is slack. but
the outlook for textiles and clothing
is hopeful Clothing makers are
looking for spring orders and retail
ers are clearing their stocks by bar
gain sales.
The banking and credit conditions
are better than they have been for
months. Large banks in the main
cities are out of debt to the reserve
bank and money rates are growing
easier. However. business needs
something besides easy credit. for old
debts cannot be discharged by max
ing commercial loans at banks. EASY
credit is for new business. but credit
conditions in this section are sound.
Retailers and distributors are pro-
ceeding with great care and are con-
cerned just now because the market
is frequently saturated with distress
goods sold by receivers far below
the market
There is little buying power in the
farming districts and it Is believed
there will be no great revival there
until another crop has progressed TAR
enough to insure returns. business
men and bankers agree that business
will be spotty for months to come.

Trade Volume Is Greater;
Turnover Less Than in 1920
BY 1. v. SHANNON.

NEW ORLEANS, December 28-
The volume of retail trade in this
section for this month probably will
be 20 per cent in excess of that Of
last year. although the money turn
over may bs approximately 10 per
cent lower than it was in 1920. The
holiday trade far exceeded expecta-
tions and was practically on a par
with that oil last year. which was the
best ever experienced here.
Stock taking which has been COM
pleted so far shows that the busi-
ness Of the past year has been very
satisfactory in so far as general re-
suits and profits are concerned. Lead
ing merchants and bankers say that
it has been fully as good as was
here is for a continuation of good
may occur. due to the fact that un-
employment has been increasing
slightly.
However, port activities are on the
increase and may be counted on to
take care Of portion Of this idle labor.
Steamship men report export book
ings for the past month to have been
better than at any time during the
fall while imports for December are
counted on to show an increase over
November, which, in turn, showed a
gain of $1,250.000 over October. Cot
ton prices have adjusted themselves
to the revised crop production esti-
mates in the last two weeks, with

Cast Much Brighter Light
on Prospects for Revival
BY FRANK d. McLAIN
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
PHILADELPHIA, December 2s.-De-
velopments in the business situation
toward the close of the year have
cast a much brighter light on the
prospects for revival. The textile
mills in this section. which have been
closed for months. are running again
and retail stores have been doing an
extensive business. Much is expected
from the visit Of President Eauclain
of the Baldwin Locomotive Works to
Europe. as he is known as wonder
full business getter and is expected to
produce orders which will keep the
big plant running on an increased
schedule. Some of the textile plants
have sufficient orders ahead to insure
their operation at top speed for the
next six months.
There is considerable unemployment
here. but those still employed are re-
ceiving good wages and spending
them The cost of living remains
above normal here, and some families
are in destitute circumstances.
Agreement upon wage scale in the
building trades has established conf
dence, as operations can now be en-
tered into with assurance as to costs.
A revival of building activity is ex-
pected to be an outstanding feature of
the business situation in Philadel-
phia and vicinity this next spring.
