England Assured
Irish Agitators Find
Hostility in South
Virginia Educator Speaks at
London Luncheon Where
Remarks Are Made by
Churchill and Lady Astor

LONDON, June % (By The Asso~
cisted Press. A luncheon given by
the English Speaking Union in honor
of the Virginans who presented to
England bronze copy of Houdon's
statue of George Washington, and Of
DR.. Nicholas Murray Butler, president
of Columbia University, was made the
occasion to-day of comment on Anglo
American relations, particularly the
Irish phase, by Winston Spencer
Churchill, Secretary for the Colonies;
Lady Astor, and Professor Henry l.,
Smith, president of Washington and
Lee University, Virginia.
Professor Smith said America S
Southland was uncomfortable for
Irish agitators, for despite the south
ern sun, they soon were frozen from
a lack of q cordial reception" ~
DR.. Butler said "an ounce Of con-
sultation is worth a pound of explana-
tion." in all questions of common in
terest between Great Britain and the
Uni ed States.
Mr. Churchill referred to Prime
Minister Lloyd Georges invitation to
Eamon de Valera, the Sim Fein
leader, and Sir James Craig, Premier
Of Ulster, to confer with the govern
ment on the Irish question as a new
opportunity for Ireland to be placed
on an honorable and free foundation.
Lady Astor, speaking as native
Virginian, said the Irish question was
purely one of religion and she did
not realize that until she visited Ire
land. She declared she had been
warned not to make a statement re-
garding religion in Parliament, but
She made it before the English Speak
ing Union with the full belief tia
peace in Ireland was possible when
the churches "attended to the spirit
ual life and let.temporal things alone"
DR.. Butler said there must be no
delay in the work of limiting the
amazing expenditures on armaments.
The next step must come from
America" he declared, "as the time
now has come to, put into effect the
fess."
Or. Butler suggested the observation

PASSED BY SENATE
Nitrate Measure Now Goes 20 Lower
House of Congress.

Nitrate Measure Now Goes 20 Lower
House of Congress.
By a vote Of 81 to 20 the senate late
last Friday, passed the nitrate bill for
permanent federal operation Of the
nitrate plants built by the government
during the war at Muscle Shoals, Ala,
The measure, which had been fought
vigorously foG about two weeks and
been made the subject of charges and
counter charges of lobbying and waste
fulncss, finally was put through with
the aid of a few Republican voters and
now goes to the house where it's fu-
ture is uncertain. Radical changes
were made by the senate in the mea :
sure as reported originally from tae t:;e
agricultural committee.
In last Fridays vote on the final
passage, 80 Democrats were joined by
four Republicans Senators Capper OF
Kansas, Gronna Of North Dakota, La
Toilette of Wisconsin and McNary OF
Oregon. fwenty-seven Republicans
and two Democrats, Senators Gore OF
Oklahoma and King of Utah, voted in
opposition.
The bill was advocated, as a meas
ure both for the farmers aid and as
protection in case Of war, the nitrate
properties being designed for manu-
factura Of fertilizer in times of peace
and for nitrates. used in powder max
ing, in case of war. Opponents de-
clared that the plea Of agricultural as
sistance was "camouflage,' that the
cost of making fertilizer would be en-
cessive and that it was proposed to
commit the government to developing
and selling hydraulic power from the
Wilson dam at Muscle Shoals now
partially completed.
AS passed by the senate the nitrate
bill would create 4 government corpo-
ration with S12,5OO, 900 capital stock
owned by the government and manas-
ed b. a board appointed by the pres:-
dent, under jurisdiction of the treasury
department. The senate today adopted
amendments by Senator Wadsworth
Republican, New York, placing the
board under the treasury instead OF
the war department, because, Senator
Wadsworth said, it could be operated
better by civilians than by army Of
iiccrs.
Properties which the corporation is
authorized in the senate bill TO take
over are said to have cost the gov

Unusual Animal Story Comes From

Pascagoula, Miss, Dec. 5.-As the
sun was dropping below the western
horizon yesterday, 4 party of hunters
in the Bayou Casotte neighborhood
noticed Il weasel or ichuemon scratch
ing UP the sand on the edge Of Green
wood island. Suddenly siN-foot alli-
gator appeared and with wide-ope''
mouth started to attack the little ami
NAL. With remarkable alacrity the
weasel lcapcd into the gators jaws
and slid down into its belly Tie
hunters were much astonished and
waited results. Within fifteen minutes
they observed the weasel eating its
way through the entrails OF the NOR
stor. The fondness for eggs prompts
tho slender animal to take his chances
into the alliGator's inside. TO the
scarcity OF hen eggs at this season is
attributable these actions Of the ichcu

And yet if a citizen carries a gun he
is liable to penitentiary sentence un-
der the anti-pistol law.
The daring Of the three gunner
who held up guests in their room at
the Astor shows to what length the
criminals have gone here. The large
hotel is as we'll policed as any city.
There is an armed watchman on each
floor, and house detectives are con-
stantly patrolling the halls and lobbies
on the lookout for suspicious persons.
In the o!d days this gunman, despite
his calling, was a romantic figure in
the life of the teeming East Side. lie
wore the loudest cravats and the most
EXPENSIVE silk shirts. He realized that
the present hour might be the last, so
he lived high and had many amours.
Today the gunman is a Sinking
coward who brews his plans for muir
der over the glass Of poison whisky IN
the Eighth avenue saloons. In almost
every case the gunman has killed his
man without giving him chance. He
kills first and robs afterward.
The Bowery and Chinatown have al
ways been the most interesting spots
to me in New York and during my first
year became friend of Chuck Con-

too, but at heart good fellow. He Is
