a native of Russia, and the action to-
day of United States Commissioner

jury in bonds of $4,000 for violation
of the espionage act, is believed to
have uncovered deals in which influ-
entiaV business men of Detroit, Gin

said to have urged their congressman
end senators to hasten recognition
by the United States of the Soviet
gOverntment SO that contracts total
ing $3.50, 100000 could be consummat-
eu with Russia through Schallman.
Schallman, who is said to have
been arrested as he was about to
leave Tor Russia, has admitted, gov

him, one for representing himself as
the agent of a foreign country. de-
manding things of value, and acting
as agent of a foreign government
without first registering as such at

FIRE SWEEPING
Bic OIL FIELD

MEXICO CITY, July 2O.-(By the
Associated Press.)-A great fire in
the Amatlan oil fields has destroyed
property to the value of several mil
lion dollars, and so far as is known,
is not yet under control.
Advices from Tampico, which are
meager, say that two wells are burn
ing and that lot 162 has been devas-
tated. This lot comprises approx
mately 35 hectares, or about 50 acres.
One of the oil companies here has
been informed that the fire was caus-
ed by lightning which ignited two
wells simultaneously. The consensus
of opinion among oil men in -:eXico
City is that the fire was accidental
whether by lightning or not. and that
there was no deliberate attempt at
sabotage. as had been rumored earlier
in the day.

MYSTERY SHIP
IS ORDERED IN
Revenue Cutter Finds Craft
Suspected of Carrying
Liquor to America

ATLANTIC CITY, n. J., July 20. -
Customs officials are making an in
vestigation concerning the schooner
Pocomoke. which was ordered into At
lantic City today by the coast guard
service, on the ground that she may
be the mystery ship which has been
reported cruising off the New Jersey
coast. The Pocomoke's officer said
she came near the coast because of
being in a leaking condition and was
seeking harbor refuge. Government
officials claim she left Nassau, Bah
anna Islands, two weeks ago, with one
thousand cases of whisky. ostensibly
for Quebec.
When the inspectors boarded the
vessel her hold was found to be emp
ty and the leak was said to be not of
a serious character.
Some of the crew said the cargo
was jettisoned in an easterly gale.
The Pocomoke was formerly an
American vessel and owned at Cape
Charles City, Va. Some time ago she
was sold to a British syndicate and
put under the British flag. sailing
from Nassau.

PROPOSAL IS GENEROUS

LONDON, July 20-(By the Asso-
ciated Press)- The British cabinet
sat for two hours and half this eve-
ming considering the Irish plans, af-
ter which Premier Lloyd George went
to Buckingham Palace and laid be-
fore the king the proposals for SUBJ
mission To famonn de Valera, the
Irish leader, at tomorrow's confer
ence.
The prime minister presided at the
cabinet council held in the house of
commons and outlined his new offer
To ireland. which is described as be-
ing drawn on generous Lines.
The financial arrangements in the
new offer have given considerable
trouble to the ministers, il is under
stood but eventually were agreed to.
II is also understood that the general
lines of the premier's offer have the
approval of Austen Chamberlain, the
government leader in the house of
commons; Sir Robert Horne, Sir La
ming Worthington Evans, secretary
tor war, and other ministers and that
probably, with notifications, the en-
tire cabinet will assent to the pro-
posals.
Wnether LIOyu george mas succeeu
ed in overcoming the reluctance Of
Sir James Craig. the Ulster premier,
to join in a tri-partite conference, is
not known, but an announcement
that Sir James is coming to London
again, probably next week, is consid-
cred favorable omen, and In any
, case no hint of a breakdown in the
negotiations is apparent. These,
however. may be more protracted
than had been generally expected.
General Jan Christian SHUTS, pre-
mier of South Africa, is holding him
self in readiness to go to Ireland
again, if needed.
De Valera gave a reception tonight
which was attended by members and
executives of the various Irish organ
