DE VALERA AND
 COLLINS REFUSE
 TO COMPROMISE
Sir James Craig Declares that Ulster Will Never Enter Irish Free State-Truce Is Again Violated
 -Dail Eireann Again Meets In Secret-Collins And Griffith Attempted to Hold Open Session

1 At the two sessions of Datl Eireann on Wednesday, De Valera led his 1 fight in person, while Collins, Griffith
 and the bulk Of the Irish Republican | ership of the pro-treaty faction was l taken by Collins.
 1 It was evident today that a bitter political feud is brewing between De | Valera and Collins.
 Dublin, Dec. 15.-Another violation ] of the Irish truce occurred at Kilmal- i lock today when sergeant of con- stabulary was killed and a police man was founded in clash with Sim FeinerS.
 Certain of Victory. Dublin, Dec. 15-(By the Associated
 Press)-As the Datl Eireann met to- day for the continuation of it's secret session 1t was declared by supporters | of Michael Collins and Arthur Griffith that they and other signers of the Irish peace agreement now felt certain of an ultimate majority in favor of the ktreaty.
 t@ They declared no prominent person Fin any part of Ireland had yet pro- tested against their action in signing an agreement with the British cabi- net. President DeValera's objections were stated to be to certain details of
 the treaty, which he thinks would have
 been improved if it had been resub-
 mitted to him and the Dail cabinet before it was signed. The general impression in Dublin today was that Lord Carson's speech in the House of Lords last night had helped Collins and Griffith in their fight in the Dail for the treatys rati- fication. It was pointed out in this connection that Lord Carson had pie tured the English action toward Ulster in a light that bore out the prediction of Michael Collins in his famous
 speech at Armagh last September when he said that England would use Ulster long as 1t suited her pur- pose and then throw her over. As to MT. DeValera's position with regard to the treaty 1t Is asserted that when the governments proposals were submitted to the Dali cabinet on Sep tember 3 certain objections were made which MT. DeVa1era does not think were adequately met in the final draft.
 The secret session Is occupied with e discussion of these points, and it was said, after last nights adjournment that the members had got no further along in their discussion that they were when the public session was con cluded ecTly yesterday afternoon.

To Appear Before Judge.

To Appear Before Judge States Attorney Cummings after the conference admitted that he vydlI appear before Judge Allyn L. Brown in the Criminal Superior court this af- ternoon. While he would not commit himself as to whether or not he fould apply for the issuance of one or more bench warrants for the arrest of al- legged "hgher-ups" in the case, he admitted that his appearance would be in connection with the bribery case.
 l Reports that three bench warrants 1 were to be asked and secured during the day for the arrest of other prin- l cipals in the case, could not be con firmed.
 Pror to the Cunnmings-Bal1ard conference. ARorneys A. L. Delaney, Jacob B. Klein and Edward J. Mo Manus, counsel for Alderman Edward Hamilton, conferred with MT. Cummings for nearly half an hour on the Hamilton case.
 After Commissioner Ballard was l questioned, Attorney Delaney went into eonference with Judge Brown sioner Ba1lard's counsel, as has been reported, could not be verified.
 That at least a part of the testi- states attorney has been proven un- true, was disclosed today. Despite the alderrnan's claim that he had voted for the Democratic presidential
 
 council meeting, it has been proved by MT. Cummings that he voted on the first ballot for Alderman Price, and on the second ballot for Alderman Veness.
 A statement to the effect that he had voted for the same candidate on both ballots, is believed to have been given by Hamilton to the states at torney on the day of his arrest. MT. Cummings confirmed the belief to- day that he was suspicious of the vir- acity of the statement, and after questioning the member of the Board of Aldermen yesterday. he determin- ed to his full satisfaction that his suspicious were well founded. Witnesses Identify Ballots On the appearance of the twenty three aldermen before the states at torney yesterday afternoon, each identified and picked out the ballots he cast for president on the night (Continued on Page SiX)

But Were Defeated.
By EARIE e. RFEVFS


 London, Dec. 15-Sir James Craig, head of the Unionist government of Ulster, today notified Premier Lloyd George that 1t Is impossible for Ulster ever to enter the Irish Free State.
 This notification of Listers inten- tion to maintain her present status came while the Sim Fein parliament at Dublin and the British parliament in London were debating the Irish peace treaty.
 Premier Lloyd-George asked the House of Commons this afternoon to ratify the Irish peace treaty In it's original form without attempting any amendments.
 In reply to questions the Premier said:
 Parliament has the power to change the treaty. but alterations would destroy the pact and necess- gate the re-opening of negotiations This would involve risk"
 Dublin, Dec. 15-Tension between the Sim Fein factions over the Irfkss peace treaty was at fever heat when Dail Eareann met again in secret ses- sion today to continue the del1bera- tions broken off late Hast night.
 Efforts to effect a compromise over the rival forces headed by Eamonn De Valera and Michael Collins aip- parently made little headway.
 De Valera won another moral vic tory'' when he succeeded fin having today's session held in secret. Col lins and Arthur Griffith, founder of the Sim Fein, attempted to have an open session today, but were defeated.
 It Is likely that an open session will be held tomorrow, and that a vote on ratification of the peace settlement will take place before Saturday.
 Irish newspapers take the view that ratification should be based only upon the merits of the treaty. They con tend that it was wrong to bring up the issue whether the Irish peace del egates exceeded their instructions. This view. it is understood, is held by a number of the members of Dail JGfreann. They contend that. if the treaty Is acceptable to the people 1t should be ratified regardless of the manner fin which 1t was signed
 A large crowd began gathering about University College building long before Il o'clock, the hour for the opening of the third session of Dail Efreann. The leaders were cheered as they entered

Predicts British

London, Dec. 15-'I hope and believe that one hundred years hence there will be no British Empire. Either it will have played its part in the develop ment of civilization and have changed into and given place to a much larger union of Free States, or it will have become a danger and a nuisance to man kind, and have followed German Imperialism and Roman Imper- ialism to the dust heap"
 This is H. G. Wells opinion of the British Empire a hundred years hence. It was read as a message from him at a dinner given by the Delphian Coterie, when the subject of considera tion was 'The Empire a Hundred Years Hence"
