HOPE FUR PEACE IN
 IRELAND DEPENDS ON ULSTER CONFERENCE
rRenuhlIcan A. P. Leased wIrel

LONDON, Nov. 4.-Developments in negotiations toward an Irish set clement are now understood to hinge on the conferences which Sir James Craig. the Ulster minister, will have in the next few days with Premier Lloyd George and Sir Edward Carson.
 A special meeting was held by the Ulster cabinet in Belfast today. prior to the departure of Sir James for London. He will spend the week end with his son at Eton, meeting the prime minister, it is expected, on Monday.
 At Irish headquarters today it was stated that the British representatives
 and the Sim Feln had reached a measure of accord that promised a
 solution of all issues and that Ulster
 was now as great stumbling block
 in the path of the negotiations from the governments point of view as 1 from that of the Sim Fein.
 Desmond Fitzgerald of the Sim
 Fein party, in a statement this after noon definitely denied a number of reports published in London news papers relative to points on which an | agreement is said to have been reached by the conferees. He declared
 untrue rumors that the Sim Feiners 1 had accepted the principle of do- ] minion status and British control o1 i Irish ports and had agreed to contrib l ute from the Irish treasury to the ! imperial treasury. He refused to dis i close any points which have beer ! agreed upon thus far, but it is stated i in other Irish quarters that the de l termination of the Sim Feiners no 1 to accept the principle of allegiance | to the British crown remains un' i shaken.
 i It is intimated in these quarters | however. that a formula has beer | agreed upon bridging that difficulty whereby Ireland would not be desig- : mated as a British dominion but a. an associate. nation"
 ] It is further stated that a solution of the Ulster problem must come, i 1 it comes at all. through Listers rec ignition of the principle of unity il ! Ireland.

 In May, 1920, a plot was discovered to assassinate Premier Hara. the de- tails coming out in November last by publication of the findings of a pre- liminary court which tried a former artilleryman named Ito. charged with planning an attempt against the pre- mier's person. Seven bombs were to have been employed in the attempted assassination. which was to have taken place on May 8, 1920, the court findings showed.
 It was asserted that Ito came to Tokio and purchased a revolver and explosives, making his bombs out of bottles and boxes. On taking them into the streets, however, Ee was knocked down accidentally by an au- tomobile and the police discovered the internal machines he had devised and unraveled the plot.
 The assassination of Premier Hara recalls a similar dramatic incident when Premier Clemenceau of France was shot and dangerously wounded at a time when the peace conference, of which he was presiding officer. was at it's height This occurred Feb. 19, 1919, while Clemenceau was going from his home to the American head quarters at the Hotel Crillon- Spring ing from behind kiosk. the would be slayer.

TRepubiican A. p. Leased wirel

LOS ANGELES. Calf, Nov. A. Mrs. Madalynne Obenchain today got the opportunity she had sought to ap- pear before grand jury and be heard but was unable to utilize it be- cause of a. physical collapse. The same collapse caused postponement of the case wherein she was charged with murder in connection with the death of J. Belton Kennedy, when it came up in court today.
 Last night Mrs. Obenchain wrote to the foreman of the grand jury asking an opportunity to be heard in case it took any further action re- garding her. As a result of the re- quest a summons was sent to the jail for her today
 Mrs. Obenchain collapsed soon after the summons arrived and was weep ing when she was taken into the jury room. She proved unable to answer any questions there and soon was ex- cused.
 Physicians who examined her told the court she would be unable to stand the strain of appearing today and the motion of her attorneys for dismissal of the charge against her which was to have been argued today was continued until next Monday. Her attorneys expressed hope she might be able to make a statement to the grand jury before that time.

 The assassination of Premier Hara comes at a dramatic moment when the Japanese delegation is assembl- ing for the Washington conference and when Japan is intensely inter ested in the international issues in which Premier Hara had until now taken such an important part. He had been urged to head the delega- ton to Washington and. for time had the matter underconsideration but finally decided that his services would be better employed at home during the discussion at Washing ton.
 Premier Hara frequently addressed the Japanese diet concerning the ser ious work ahead for Japan at Wash ington and on October he expressed the view that Japan's chief aim would be to put an end to race bar riers. He later conferred with the American ambassador at Tokio and the premier soon afterward an nounced at a meeting of the govern ment party that Japan was willing to compromise on the Shantung ques- ton with China which had long been a main subject of controversy.
 Premier Hara declared in recent statements that Japan was ready to
 
 tabIishment along with the rest of the world. and always keeping in mind the necessities of her national defense
