Reporting of Lord
Alfred Douglass )
Death Causes Suit
Peers Libel Action Based on
Evening News Comment
Again Puts Into Court
Oscar Wilde's Conviction
From The Trlbunc's Europcon sureau


LONDON, Nov. 2a.-~The echo of a
cause celebre of nearly thirty years
ago stirred London to-Gay when Lord
Alfred Douglas, the second surviving
son of the eighth Marquis Of
Queensberry, sued the publishers of
"The Evening News" for libel in con
nection with the comment of that
newspaper on February a on an un-
founded report of the peers death.
"The Evening News had referred to
Douglas as having had "briliant, un-
happy career" and made other COM
ments to which Lord Alfred took ex-
ception. The defense of the article i'm
court to-day recalled the particulars of
the famous libel action of Oscar Wilde
in 1895 against the Marquis of Queens
berry and Wildes subsequent arrest
and imprisonment. The friendship of
Lord Alfred Douglas for the poet and
playwright, which began when he was
a student at Oxford, led to break be
tween Lord Alfred and his father, the
marquis. The marquis ordered his son
to abandon his friendship with Wilde
on pain of disowning him, and Lord
Alfred detiantly refused, later taking
care of Wilde when he emerged from
Reading Jail, broken man, and paying
his funeral expenses.
This situation fared up again in a
London court in 1910 when Lord AL
fred, in defending a suit brought
against himself, declared he had been
the only friend who had stood by
Wilde to the end and dramatically de-
clared his pride in this friendship.
Lord Alfred came into public notice in
this connection again in 1913 when he
sued the author of biography Of
Wilde in which the writer said things
which Lord Alfred regarded as libelous.
Letters that had passed between
Lord Alfred Douglas and Wilde in 1896
we're read in court to-day in an effort
to prove that the newspaper was JUS
titled in its statements. Just before
the hearing adjourned, however, Lord
Alfred contended that he had since re-
pudiated his conduct at that time.

Fear Shipbuilding
In America Might
Become Lost Art
Reaction TO Naval Cut Pro-
posal Beginning To Be
Felt; Makers Of CONNER
cial Vessels Show Concern

WASHINGTON, Nov. "a (by The AS
sociated Press ss).--Commercial ship
builders now engaged on naval con-
struction are greatly concerned as to
what the impending naval reductions
mean to them, and the government is
beginning to get a reaction from that
quarter. None of the builders who
have visited Washington. however, has
voiced direct opposition TO the confer
ence program of the administration,
whatever they may feel. Their in
quiries here, it was learned to-day. have
to do largely with devising ways and
means OF keeping their plants in ope-
ration for time at least after build
ing operations are stopped by interna-
tlonal agreement.
In this connection some of the build
ers are understood to be considering
what they might be able to do in sal
wage operations on ships to be dis
carded and broken up. While such
work on one or two vessels might not
be profitable venture, some shipping
men think u wholesale undertaking
might yield return, particularly as
the .shlpbuildlng plants would be vir-
tually Idle and might be possible of
conversion for salvage operations.
In some quarters it was pointed out
to-day that American shipbuilding men
apparently would be harder hit than
those in Great Britain and Japan by
the naval holiday. American CONNER
cial yards are doing little commercial
work
The merchant marine is overstocked
with war built tonnage, for which there
is no market, it was said. Develop
ment of trade routes under the Amer
lean flag is progressing so slowly, it
was added, that there is no prospect
of any immediate demand for new
trade ship tonnage
In Great Britain and Japan, however,
commercial tonnage is under con-
struction and probably will keep the
yards busy even without government
work for the ten-year period

Britain Gives
Ulster Final
Reply. To-day
Continued from psss ons,

last few days between the Sinn Feincrs
and members of the British Cabinet. at
which Mr.. Griffith and his colleagues
are said to have made clear that they
could not agree to swear allegiance to
the British crown, their idea of associa-
tion with the states of the Bcitish
ernpire being by treaty, as would be the
case with foreign powers. 1t has been
assumed by the British newspapers
that Mr.. Lloyd George has had some
assurance from the Sim Fein dele
gates that, as price OF listers assent
to an All-lreland Parliament. Sim Fein
would agree to swear allegiance to the
crown.
Il is now definitely known that no
such assurance has been given and
that the attitude of the Sim Fein in
that regard remains the same as that
taken by Mr.. de Valera in his pro-
nouncements at the Mansion House in
Dublin.
Early End to Parleys Feared
Effort in the negotiations with the
Sim Fem this week has been directed
to devising some constitutional means
for reconciling this divergence, but
"itn 1lIlle nope OF success. any agree
ment with the Sim Fein that did not
include allegiance to the crown would,
it is believed in government circles,
receive little support by any party in
England. Therefore, those best in
formed are predicting an early end to
the conferences.
1t is expected that the Ulster Pre-
mier viii ask Mr.. Lloyd George to
facilitate full consideration of listers
case by publishing the whole corre-
spondence exchanged thus far, so that
Ulster may see the real state OF. the
negotiations. But the discussions with
the Sim Fein have, by the desire of
the government, proceeded on condi-
tion that secrecy be observed: so pub
lication of the correspondence is not
expected until an agreement or disa-
greement is finally reached
The Irish Liberal Federation, an or
ganizatiou in which former Premier
Asquith is interested. at it's annual
meeting to-day, passed resolution
supporting Dominion Hole Rule for
Ireland, suggesting that Parliament
should be asked to indorse this policy,
and recording it's conviction that If
the conference fails there will be no
return to the policy of force.

GREAT LINER TAXES
 FACILITIES OF PORT
fBy the Associated Press)

New York, Oct. 1.-Announcemont that the worlds largest ship, the Ma jestic, will be ready for service be- tween New York and Southampton next spring directs attention to the facilities for docking the great sh'p at her pier on her arrival at New York and the methods to be employ ed in doing so.
 When the largest of the present ocean liners came out, just before the war, it was necessary to extend the piers at New York where they are docked, to protect their long hulis from the traffic passing up and dowr the Hudson river The extended pier. will be a very tight fit indeed for the Majestic, while the task of getting her into her berth will present as big a job as the docking experts em- ployed by the steamship companies a; New York have yet encountered.
 New York is perhaps the hardest port in the world in which to dock a great ocean liner, from the fact that it is the only one where docks are at right angles to river in which strong tides flow regularly.

Sl52O IN REVENUE
 10 MILK SHIPPERS

Shipments of milk and cream from the Conway dairy station during the month of September brought in $1 ,520, which about equals the average for the preceding months. According to Manager R. L. Folts, the showing is an excellent one.
 Production of milk will fall off dur ing the fall and winter months, MT. Folts said, and the dairy station may reduce its shipments from one daily to one every two days to save ex- pense of operating on small shin ments. Today consignment to Little Rock was of 150 gallons of milk and 10 gallons of cream. Prices have bettered during the past two weeks, and shippers are now receiving S2 per hundredweight for their four per cent butter fat
 Many callers at the station are on the market for fall springers, but are unable to find them. Mr. Folts said that farmers having springers for sale can list them gratis with him and probably make an immediate sale. He advises prospective dairy men to buy a good grade of cattle, and to pass up "scrub" stock
