Any possible effort on the part OF

tie present Administration. Difference
between American and French policy On
the question of the French attitude tow.
ard Germany. which resulted al one
time in a charge OF militarsm made by
President Wilson against the French
Government. is becoming accentuated by
the French insistence that Germany live
up TO the terms of the Versailles pact
without any amendments.
The recent statement Of Andre T'ardleu
that France would be justified In hold

sn= -vant the United States refuses to

clauses.
There are also Indications Of increas-

A administration toward Germany In its

AGREEMENT NEAR

Enjoys Resume Negotiations
on Property Rights.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.--Ambassadors
Morris and Shidehara. charged with lay
ing the bases for settlement of issues
between America and japan growing
out Of California anti-Japanese laws.
resumed their conferences to-day after
a few days intermission with the hope
that the project would soon be sufE
ciently defined for submission to the two
governments
In it's present form. II was learned,
the agreement does not deal with the
subject of civil rights. No attempt has
been made to do more than protect the
lawful rights of the Japanese already
in America and prevent discrimination
against the Japanese in the enjoyment
of property rights.
IL is stated that there has been no
effort to secure civil rights for the
Japanese which would carry the right
of suffrage and other privileges. This
10 regarded by the Japanese as an en-
tircly separate proposition. II was added,

Sinn Fein Raiders
Seize Tax Collections

DUBLIN, Jan. 5.-Armed men
today made raids on the
houses of rate collectors who had
obeyed the orders of the local
Government board by depositing
their collections in a bank to
their own credit instead of to
that of Councils which have ac-
knowledged the Dali Eireann.
The raiders compelled the collec-
tors to sign checks payable to
bearer transferring the money
collected. Members of the raid
ing party then remained on
guard while their colleagues
went to the bank and cashed the
checks. The money thus obtained
will be turned over to the Sim
Fein County Council and other
local bodies concerned.

GOUGING, CHEATING

BROKERS VIOLATE LAW
SOME BOX OFFICES HELP

Many of the spectators who have
been subjecting the public to the worst
gouging in the sale of theatre tickets
have at the same time beep cheating
the Government and violating the law
by making false tax returns and
pocketing a large part of the money
which should be paid into the United
States Treasury.
William II. Edwards, Collector of IN
ternal Revenue, says he has estab
lished this fact by means of an in
vestigation begun in November. and
that the evidence. warranting prose-
cution and the collection of heavy pen
alties and fines is about ready to be
turned over to the Department of JUS
tice.
But l wish to have it understood, y
Mr.. Edwards said last night, that the
men who are doing the crooked work
are the gougers. the spectators who
charge S5, sS, $40 or any other price
they can get for a theatre ticket, and
that the long established agencies such
as McBride's and Tyson's are honor
able exceptions. The latter agencies
really sell tickets at an advance OF
only fifty cents over the box office
price. as they say they do. Their books
are carefully kept. and their tax re-
turns are honest.
Some of the gencies and individuals
to whom | refer IS gyppers have made
no income tax return at all. Some of
them swear that they never sold a ticket
at q premium OF more than fifty cents,
although we have tickets. bought from
these men by our agents, proving that
the premium was all the way from 50

CROWN MIGHT TALK
PEACE WITH VALERA
Safe Conduct Seen If He Has
Any Proposals.
By fho Associntcd pr,ss.

LoNDoN. Jan From n seemingly
authorized statement issued In London
tonight, It may nc inferred that should
Eamonn de Valera be disposed TO APP
proach the Government with a peace
proposal meeting the Governments
stipulations that all questions of separa-
tion be excluded. he would not be dis
couraged on the contrary, under such
circumstances he would be treated as
satisfying the Prime Minister'S condi-
ton as able ito deliver the goods" in
fact. and that for such purpose he could
secure safe conduct
Dc Valera stayed at least two nights
and three days in Manchester last week
on his way to Ireland from the United
states. the Manchester correspondence
the London Times says. He arrived In
an ordinary train. undisguised. and
walked through the streets to keep an
appointment with leaders OF the Man
chester Sim Feiners.

Defenders OHcr Aid.

Reports that sympathizers or agents
of the British Government might en-
deavor TO get the Lord Mayor on board
a ship in Hampton Roads were heard
to-day. There appeared to be no foun-
dations for the reports. but it helped to
stimulate interest in the stowaway and
brought to him profered assistance.
Men gathered around the hotel. de-
termined TO prevent the removal of the
Lord Mayor TO any ship until the Amer
lean Government had settled upon the
status of his case.
Lord Mayor O'Callaghan refused to
give out an interview. He declined to
deny or confirm n report that he was
disguised as a sailor when he went
on board the West Cannon at Cork. He
referred the question to the captain and
crew
Members OF the crew Of the West
Cannon laughed when newspaper men
endeavored TO get them 10 say whether
the report was true or false. Capt. Nc
Govern, who commands the West Can
non, said he did not see Mr.. O'Callaghan
when he came on board.
Members of the West Cannon's crew
declared the Lord Mayor was good
fellow. and they would not say anything
they thought would hurt him In the
least II is generally believed however
that the Lord Mayor did board the
West Cannon wearing clothes similar to
those worn by sailors on merchant ships.
It was learned to-day when the Lord
Mayors presence on the ship was die
covered he volunteered to work" his

NORFOLK. Va, Jan. 5.-Sympath for
the cause he represents and admiration
for the daring he displayed in defying
the British authorities and crossing the
ocean as stowaway on board the West
Cannon brought to Daniel O'Callaghan
Lord Mayor of Cork. smiles and hand
clasps from many persons to-day. De-
spite the fact that II. E. Parker. an inn
migration inspector of Newport News,
had ruled that the Lord Mayor would
have to be deported because he landed
in America without passport. the Wis
itor appeared on the streets near the
hotel where he is quartered accompanied
by Peter J. MacSwiney, who crossed the
ocean with MIN. and guard from the
Immigration Office.
The unique spectacle Of one lmmigra-
tion inspector appealing the ruling Of
another inspector was presented in the
case and which probably will result in
the Lord Mayor being given his liberty
tomorrow.

several persons who have seen and
spoken with De Valera. He is extremely
busy. having already held several con-
ferences with leaders OF various depart
,nents OF the Sim F'ein Government. It
ia expected he soon will issue a message
TO the American people. followed by n
manifesto addressed to the Irish people.
According to these informants De
Valera did not come here on a peace
mission, but because OF the conviction
that n situation had arisen urgently re-
uuiring his presence They still insist
that any overtures must come from the
British Government and that negotla-
tions are only possible on the basis of
independence ana by treaty between

inspector. after being advised of the de-
