In the hearing before the Finance

Mr.. Wadsv rth could not recall any

England, France and the United States

Of securities, Secretary Mellon said, in

proved necessary to accept bonds in
substitution. The Secretary insisted
that broad powers should be given to
forestal any possibility of reopening
refunding, once the negotiations have
been concluded.
Senator Penrose proposed o limita
ton to five years OF the blanket au-
thority which the bill under consider
alton would give the Secretary of the
Treasury: Secretary Mellon did not
oppose this limitation. He thought
refunding would be completed in that
time.
Senator Reed brought up in commit

Mellon said he had simply acted as dis

admitted gracefully.
This was not surprising, as, accord
ing to Patrolman Robert Bauersahmdt,
of the West Twentieth Street police
station, who arrested him for throwing
FITS to win the sympathy of crowd OF
working girls, Mcmahon has been con-
vieted of similar offenses eleven times
in the last eight years.
'He was getting away with it fine
when l came up" the patrolman went
on. "Three fits in twenty minutes was
what he had pulled of for the edifca-

the stenogs fell for it hard. When the
crowd around him got big enough he
would recoye sufficiently to explain that
lack of food had reduced him to this
pitiable state and then force his feeble
body around, passing the hat. Some of
the girls were so affected that they
gave him their own lunches when they
found that they did not have any money
handy"
Magistrate Levine made sure of not
receiving another visit from Mcmahon
for some time by sentencing him to
four months in the workhouse.

London Times
Decadelnt, Says
Lloyd George
House of Commons Told
by Premier why Special
Privileges Have Been De-
MED NorihcliNe Paper
Observer Also Censured
Report King Arranged to
Let Harding Take Disarm-
anaent Lead Called Fiction

Copyright, 1921, New York Tribune Inc.
LONDON, July 1S.-PYemier Lloyd
George struck back Mt Lord Northcliffe
in the House of Commons to-day and
publicly asserted that The London
Times, owned by Ncrthcliffe, had lost
its old position as the journalistic rep
resentative of education and official
opinion.
In answering query from the floor
of the House in regard to the official
news boycott imposed on the North
cliffe press following its attack on the
Premier and Lord Curzon, Secretary
for Foreign Affairs, the Premier said
that while the general run of Foreign
Office news had not been withheld,
special favors afforded The London
Times in the past by tradition had beer
entirely withdrawn" The Tinaes's at
tack was in opposition to the proposal
that Lloyd George and Lord Curzon
represent Great Britain at the disarm-
ament conference in Washington.
Lloyd George also took a fling to-day
at another journal, The Observer char
actcri1ing as pure irvention' it's story
implying that King George had inter
vened in diplomatic ENHANCEMENT
over the proposed disarmament confer
ence and arranged that President Har-
ding should be allowed to take the
initiative in it,
The Premier explained that Foreign
Caice news was issued in two forms
through news agencies and to repre-
senta tives of individual newspapers.
Lloyd George asserted that agency
news still was available to The London
Times.
"Ccurtesy begets courtesy" the Pre-
nier declared, "but in view of the par
ticularly offensive and mischievous at
tack on the Foreign Secretary, special
tac'lities have been withdrawn from
The London Tires.
Such an attack as The Times made
might easily have imperiled delicate
negotiations on which the Foreign Sec
rotary was engaged on behalf of the
empire.
In many circles abroad The London
Times is still supposed to represent
educated and official public opinion in
this country. We in this country know
it has long since ceased to hold this
position but that is only gradually be-
coming known abroad. 1t is essential
that the British government should
mark with strong disapproval so gross
an attack and one which passed the linn
its of fair criticism"
In answering another query from the
ttoor whether the government had not
taken the wrong course Lloyd George
reiterated that the attack of The Lon
con Times was too grave to be allowed
to pass unnoticed
For several days The London Times
has given no space to the campaign it
started against the selection of Lloyd
Washington.

cago representative of the firm, were

Restrictions on Irish
Fairs ord Markets Lifted
Slim Fein Leader Calls ora Ciii-
ser,s TO Repair Bridges and
Ren,ore Road Distractions

DUBLIN, July IS (By The Assoei-
ated Press) .-Commandant Barry chief
Republican liaison officer in the mar
tial law area, announced tonight that
General Sir Nevil Macready, British
military commander in Ireland, had
agreed to remove all restrictions on
fairs and markets and permit closed
creameries to reopen.
Commandant Barry said that there
fore he desired al citizens to assist in
the work of removal of road obstruc-
tions, filling in trenches and the re-
pairing CT bridges to such an extent as
is urgently required
E. U. Duggan, Sim Fem member of
Parliament, who is chief Republican
army liason officer, and Commandment
Barry visited General Macready and
complained of a mono observance of the
truce in the martial law area.
They said that the crown forces and
patrols still were carrying arms. Major
General Sir Edward Strickland, the
martial law commander, they added,
had refused requests for the appoint
ment of Sim Fem iiaison officers for
his area because there was no chief
liaisou officer in that area.
Commandant Barry has now been
appointed to that post, and Mr.. Dug
gan reports that General Macready
has given him satisfactory assurances.
There is a noticeable reduction in
ordinary crime everywhere. In Dub
lin this is due to the fact that the city
now is policed by the metropolitan
police. In the country districts the
Sim Fem police have resumed activi-
ties without interference, and ordinary
criminals are said to be more afraid
of them than they are of the crown
forces.

LONDON, July 1S--De Valera and
his Sim Fem ministers hope to be able
30 return to Dublin by Thursday eve
ming and hold further conferences
there.
Several facts can be reported with q
considerable degree of confidence:
FIRST, De Valera has won full recor-
nition as the chief spokesman for
Ireland.
Second, Ulster has been strongly adj
vised to recognize the position of Sim
Fem as the majority political party
Ihlrd, De Valera and Lloyd George
have limited their conversations to
fundamental issues and no details will
be discussed now.
After this evenings meetings all the
Slnn Fem delegation seemed ia par
ticularly cheerful mood, even the stern
faced De Valera breaking into a smile
when asked whether negotiations were
gcing satisfactorily
Sir Hamar Greenwood. Chief Score
tary for Ireland, who saw Lloyd George
along with the Ulster Ministers, ap-
peared exceedingly optimistic
The Sim Feiners appear to be wor-
rsed that tn public will gain the i'm
preston from certain newspaper re-
ports that they are making great CON
cessions and abandoning principles.
The whole situation narrows down to
ar Interpretation OF words and phrases,
and such matters as taxation and tariff
are not vital to the discussions at this
stage. Dominion home rule, concentra-
ton of political authority in Dublin
and Great Britain's guaranty of Sc
curity are the fundamental questions
around which the conversations have
turned.
If preliminary understa nding is ar
ranged on Thursday, the next step will
he the release OF Sim Fem members
of Parliament, of whom forty-fi have
been imprisoned meeting of the

and De Valera will report to il.

days.
II have little Giuseppe, now, in

proudly yesterday. then his voice
quivered-"but the big one, he still
is here" pointing to his forehead.
k&by Giuseppe was attired IN robes
OF gorgeousness to match the import
ance of his estate-wide lace, dotted
with pink rosebuds-but he slep peace
fully while the neighbo1s tiptoed in
to admire him in his home at 354 East
Thirteenth Street. 1t was most Sc

censorious eye of Patrolman Nc
Caffrey, who has had the Varottas
under his care since the kidnapping and
now has taken Baby Giuseppe under

I aa'is Disce1'1ls
End Of League
Disarmament
Hardins's Initiative Held
TO Have Reduced Viviani
Commission TO a Mere
Dead Shell Of Influence
Special Ccbye 10 The Tribune

Copyright, 1921, New York Tribune Inc.
PARIS, July 18.-There is feeling
in various we'll Informed circles here
tina: the disarmament commission of
the League of Nations, which is de-
liberating here in an effort to bring
about a reduction in world ornaments,
figuratively is a dead shell, The cause
for the disaster to this body, which is
headed by Rene Viviani, former Pre-
micr of France, is held to be the Har-
Ding proposal for disarmament con-
ference, which has completely stolen
the leagues thunder.
The Harding move toward d:sarma-
ment so far overshadows any possible
league activities in this direction that
there is no enthusiasm for venture
which is regarded as lost motion.
The commission was convoked Sat
urday with flourish of speeches by
several delegates, each notably well
coming President Harding's initiative
and expressing the hope that their
labors in Paris might contribute to
the success OF the Washington con-
ference.
Enthusiasm Lacking
Sessions Of the commission occupied
all day Saturday, Saturday evening
and Sunday, and to-day found the
commission divided into three sub
committees assigned for detailed study
of various problems and the collection
of exhaustive data, which will be sub
mitted to the full session of the COM
mission and later laid before the
League of Nations assembly at Geneva
September 5.
The outstanding feature of the
meetings already held, however. has
been the lack Of enthusiasm, both in
official circles and in the press.
M. Niviani, in statement adjourn
ing the session to-day, said that
the mera bers had demonstrated Their
fidelity to the ideals of peace, but he
did not speak Of any concrete results
which were expected to result from the
groundwork.
The newspaper La Liberte perhaps
best sums up the blunt opinion ex-
pressed in many places.
j. says:
"The League of Nations does not
consider itself incapable of handling
the question of limitation of arma l.
mems. 1t remains standing ready to
enter into eombina ton with the origi-
nators of that other society now being
created on the banks Of the Potomac
The work of the Paris commission has
no other object than to save its face.
"Vlsibly the League of Nations, after
short existence and without glory, is
dying. 1t is in difficulties from the
blow the President of the United States
has delivered it. 1t is for this reason
that the success of the Washington
conference will be certain"
