Yard Is Located

CHICAGO, Aug. Pr watery
auto graveyard at Summit, Ill, was
piumbed today by expert divers in
an effort to locate additional ma
chimes, sunk without trace.

more than the worth of the machine.

IRISH PARLIAMENT
LIKELY To Reject
BRITISH PROPOSAL

LONDON, Aug. 22.-Sinn Fein is
certain to reject the British proposals
in their present form. all reports
from Dublin today agreed.
A new cabinet committee, especial
ly appointed to deal with the Irish
emergency, was in session to await
the dali eireann's reply.
The Sim Fein parliament, when 1t
met today in secret session, chose
not only between peace and war. 1t
determined the question Of the ex-
istence or determination of Sim Fem.
This was the British view.
Upon the tone Of Cancellation
adopted by the dali in it's reply:
upon the margin by which the door
is still left open," depended, accord
ing to the British belief, the fate Of
Sim Fem. 1t was agreed here that
a "slamming of the door" would
mean a British march through Ire
land until the last vestige Of re-
publicanism had been stamped out.
Dublin correspondents of British
papers were unanimous in their
agreement today that the dails re-
ply would reject the British offer
in it's present form. and believed that
it would be couched in a conciliatory
spirit, possibly inviting the govern
ment to elucidate certain points.
The British press was demanding
an early reply. The Daily Chronicle,
frequently referred to as Lloyd
Georges unofficial mouthpiece," to-
day said: Representation is tanta-
mount to playing with fire. If the
fire breaks out again, Britain will
doubtless burn her fingers, but Ire
land will be consumed"

BITTER FIGHT ON
BEER AMENDMENT
IN j. s. CONGRESS

WASHINGTON, Aug. 22.-Con-
gress was torn asuner Saturday in a
bitter fight over the Stanley anti
search and seizure amendment to the
beer bill.
Party lines were shattered, dry
ranks were split. the senate and
house at war. and the congressional
recess due to start next Wednesday
threatened by the determined attitude
of the two factions on the amend
ment.
Meanwhile the treasury soon will
have to issue the regulations that
will open the medicinal beer flood
gates unless the measure which pro-
hibits beer as medicine is speedily
passed.
Climax Reached
Restraint was broken and the tense
feeling over the Stanley amendment
that had existed for a week brought
to a climax when Senator Sterling
South Dakota. Submitted the sub
stitute agreed upon by four of the
conferees to the senate.
Senator Ashurst, of Arizona, a
staunch dry, who bolted the confer
ence on Tuesday. refused to sign the
report. Stating that he had not
been invited to the conference, Rep
Iresentative Dyer, of Missouri, took
a similar stand.
Advocates of the Stanley amend
mept read the substitute and flatly
declared that they would never ac-
cept it. Immediate organization of
IAN oath-bound gang" to fight it
until Christmas if necessary" was
begun.
Meanwhile, Wayne B. Wheeler,
counsel for the anti-saloon league,
sent to the senate that the house
would refuse to allow the senate to
recess unless the substitute was &C
cepted. A ringing defy went back.
Republicans Confer
Senator Lodge and Republican
Leader Mondel held a brief but
spirited conference. Mondell left the
conference with a vivid impression
OF the high and determined temper
of the, senate. Further attempt to
reconcile the sharp division of views
were given up for the day.
The Stanley amendment which
caused all the row is described by
its advocates as a reaffirmation OF
the fourth and fifth amendments to
the constitution. They assert that
they are in crusade to preserve
the constitutional guarantees that
make mans home his castle" and
protect him-f search on the pub
lie streets.
The substitute provides:
l. That dry agents searching
homes without "a search warrant,
or who shall without a search warrant
maliciously search and other building
or property" shall be guilty ola mis-
demeanor and liable to a fine Of
$1,000, or one year in prison for
second offense.
2: Bogus dry agents are liable to
both the fine and Imprisonment.
Heavy Penalty
The Stanley amendment approved
by the senate provides a heavy per-
atty for the agent who searches
person, home, automobile or other
property unless armed with search
warrant.
The fight was given an unexpected
turn by statement issued by Rep
leader. He pointed out that the flrst
substitute for the Stanley amend
ment adopted by the house, which
was regarded as virtually sanction
ing the making of home brew II not
for sale, had been dropped in the
conference agreement.

change" he continued, for the rea..
