irish PEACE NEGOTIATIONS HAVE
FALLEN into A LuLL; SHUTS MAY
GO TO BELFAST AS INTERMEDIARY
Belief in London Is That the Final Word of
the Ulsterites Has Not Been Spoken; King
Is Visited By the Ulster Minister of Educa-
ton; Sinn Feiners Are Hopeful.

London. July 10 (by the Asso-
ciated Press). Events which had
apparently been proceeding
smoothly and with fair rapidity to-
ward common ground upon
which the British government, the
Irish republicans and the Ulster
ties could find a basis for a settle
ment of the troubles in Ireland,
have fallen into a lull and nego-
tiations, official and private, have
ceased.
With Sir James Craig, the Ulster
premier, again in Belfast, having
before his departure from London
delivered pronouncement which
seemed to spell the end of discus
sions between the three parties,
the English are trying to figure

| out what will eventually happen
with respect to Ulster, and more
particularly with respect to the
whole Of Ireland, at the next con-
ference, between Mr.. Lloyd George
and Mr.. de Valera Thursday.
Hopeful View Is Taken.
Meanwhile General Jan Chris
tian SHUTS, the South African pre-
mier, may proceed to Belfast as
intermediary, and the fact that the
Ulster leader has declared that his
services and those of the officials
under him "are available at any
moment" leads to hopeful view
that the final word of the Ulster
ties has not been spoken.
Notwithstanding the attitude Of
Ulster as expressed by Premier
Craig, the spokesman of the repub-
lican delegates today declared that
they were "still not unhopeful."
while another Sim Fein represen-
tative said:
"It is not q question of Bel
fast being subscrvient to Dub
lin. or vice versa, but that
both must be subscrvient to
Ireland"
King Deeply Concerned.
The king, deeply concerned in
the outcome of the Irish discus
sions. was visited today by the
MARQUIS of Londonderry. Ulster
minister of education, who, it is
understood, gave the king details
OF the conversations the marquis
had with Premier Lloyd George
yesterday. The continued presence
OF one of the Ulster cabinet in
London Is considered significant
and of good augury.
Mr.. Lloyd George is believed to
have certain propositions to pre-
sent to Mr.. de Valera at Thursdays
meeting. which have been ap-
proved by the British cabinet. The
republican leader and his col
leagues will probably return to
Dublin on Friday.

WILL RESORT TO LAWS
To Ask Legislature to
Prohibit Teaching 1t
In Schools

Miami, Dec. 8-William Jennings
Bryan was asked to draw up a mes
sage to be sent to the Florida legisla-
ture requesting that body to pass an
act prohibiting the teaching of any
thing contrary to the Bible in the
schools and coiIeges of the state, by
the Florida Baptist Convention in
session here today,
This action followed an address by
the Commoner to the convention in
which he characterized Darwin's
theories as dangerous to the world.
"His teachings have the effect of
degenerates out of Christ
ians," Mr.. Bryan said. professors
who teach principles contrary to the
word of God should not be allowed
to draw salaries from Christian col
leges. The doctrine Of the survival
Of the fittest is killing the brother
hood of man. The work of Darwin
and all other contrary to the Bible
and the word of God should be elm
mated from the requirements of the
curriculum"
Judge o. K. Reeves, of Tampa,
and Bryan Jennings, of Jacksonville,
were appointed trustees of Jnhn B.
'Stetson University at DeLand.
The report of the foreign mission
board told of the campaign now be-
ing waged to raise $75,OO0;0OO to-
ward carrying the gospel to 100000

closed tonight with reports on home
missions.

Knoxville, Tenn, Dec. Sits
hard to take a human life but it was
my life or his. / couldn't do any
thing else. 1t has nearly worried me
crazy ever since" These words of
Maude Moore were uttered amid sobs
today during her cross examination
in her trial for killing Leroy Harth
here in September 1919. She related
in detail the events of that fatal
night, how she met him primarily
for the purpose of getting a revolver
she had loaned him and of their trip
in his automobile in which she al

despite the pain from blow which
she said Harth had dealt her.
She also told of her flight from
Knoxville on the night of June 10,

WASTING TINE WAITING.
FOR TOXIC TO ANSWER
Other Matters Engage
Attention of the
Delegates

Washington, Dec. 8-While they
wait for definite replies on the naval
ratio plan and the proposal for a
four power agreement in the Pacific
the arms delegates are pushing
ahead with other features of their
negotiations.
Today's developments brought in
to prominence for the first time the
question of limita dion of fortifica-
tions and naval bases in the Pacific
Islands and although the subject was
not advanced to the stage of formal
exchanges an agreement was fore
cast preserving in general the exist
ing status.
Again applying the American four
points to the Chinese problem the
nine nations represented in the far
eastern committee pledged them
selves to make no treaty or agree
ment in future infringing on China's
territorial or administrative integri-
ty or interfering with her rights to
economic and national development.
In the Shangung negotiations the
progress was less pronounced but the
Japanese and Chinese delegations
held another consultation on the sub
jects of public proprties and after
ward both sides renewed their pre-
diction of a satisfactorY settlement.

POST CARD WEEK
TO FLOOD LOCAL
POST OFFICE MEN
Interest Is Keen Among
Those Who Will En-
ter Contests
CARDS AS ADVERTISERS
Will Bear Informative
Matter About This
Section

With plans for the post card week
contest at hand keenest interest is
being manifested in the campaign,
and Secretary Hart is being beseiged
with questions as to the details of
the regulations governing the strug-
gle.
AS announced in the News some
time ago any organization in the city
can compete for the prize of $25 Of
fered for organizations. Any indivil-
dual can compete for the $40 prize
offered for individuals, but such in
dividuals must not be a member of
any of the organizations that are
competing as a whole.
Another prize Of $25 will be award
de either the Boy Scouts or the Girl
Scouts, this depending on khe hpfnbar
of cards that members Of the troops,
as whole, turn in to Secretary
Hart.
Based On Cards Mailed
The contest is, of course, to see
who can address and mail out the
greatest number of cards. When
Rotarian or Kiwanian, or a member
of any organization, including the
schools, brings in a batch of cards,
or turns them over to the scouts, he
should designate to whose credit they
are to go. They will then be credit
ed to this organization. The same
procedure should be followed in the
matter of individuals.
All that is required of the sender
is to purchase from boy scout or a
girl scout or from the Chamber of
Commerce offices the post cards
which will be stamped. No charge will
be made for the cards, but charge of
one cent will be made for the stamp
that has been previously purchased
and affixed by the post card commit
tee. The next step is to write the
appress of some person not residing
in Florida on the card and turn it in.
OF course the winning of the prizes
is not the main objective. 1t is to
send out as much suggestive litera-
ture about Palatka and Putnam
county as possible, and it will be
found that these will be to all parts
of the United States.

MEN HAVE DESCRIPTION
Gained Entrance to a
Home By Pretending
to Be a Plumber

DeLand, Dec. S-Armed citi-
zens and sheriff's forces contin-
ued their search tonight for the
white man who yesterday at
tackled a prominent woman of
this city. The country side was
secured throughout last night
and today and although no trace
of the fugitive had been found it
was believed impossible for him
to have made his escape through
the heavy Gordon spread out i'm
mediately word of the attack
was received.
Z The search Is being directed
toward man who came here a
few days ago and obtained quar-
ters at boarding house. He
disappeared from the house sud-
denly without paying his board
and took with him a pair of shoes
belonging to a fellow bOarder.
A description given by the wO-
man is said to tally closely with
that of this man.
The victim was still in a seri-
Gus condition as result of her
experience. She was beaten into
uncOnsciOusness by the man who
representing himself as a plumb
er gained netrance to the house
and bound and gagged her. The
assailant before leaving the place
took several pieces of jeweIry.
Popular feeling here intensed
by the Occurrance had abated
little. More than 100 men par
ticipated in last nights vigil and
this number was only slightly
dimnised tonight.

Expeditionary forces were pre-
sented today to a senate investi-
eating committee by way of de-
