Mysterious Societies Subject
 To Investigation, Says Judge

Any organization" he said which holds its meetings by the light oi bonfires in secret places and the members of which wear white suiss and masks, which attempts to prevent orderly citizens from the enjoyment of their constitutional rights, free dom of speech, conscience and right of trial by jury, is proper subject for investigation by grand jury. That is because such behavior by a secret society is conspiracy and the law can be brought to bear upon them"
 Continuing, he said:
 There is a law here that can be brought to bear on any group of peo- pie or secret organization which ad- ministers justice in the woods.
 Tt is not within the province of secret societies to say who is or who is not a desirable citizen. When they, by demonstration of power, seek to prevent others from the enjoyment of their constitutional rights. they are amenable to prosecution in the feders. courts"

Partition Is Discussed

DUBLIN, Sept. 13. - (By the Asso- ciated Press.) The Irish Bulletin, official organ of the Dail Eireann, is devoted in its entirety tonight to the question of partition. Taking up the point of Premier Lloyd George that government by consent of the govern ed if applied in detail, would drive the civilized world back to tribalism. it argues that the attempted partition of Ireland makes for tribalism, which enters in only when self-determina- tion is applied to something which is not a nation.
 Argument follows regarding the six Ulster counties and the contention that Tyronne. Fermanaugh, London derry City, South Down, East Down, and South Armagh should belong to the rest of Ireland.
 Ireland has declared her willing ness" it says. ito meet any legiti- mate claims MT. Lloyd George may advance. In all matters not vital to the existenc of Ireland as a nation, the Dali Eireann is ready to give UI- ster more generous local autonomy than that conferred by the British partition act"

 Armament Limitation WOULD KEEP WARSHIFS Japan is Against Agreement To Destroy Present Sea
 Forces, is Report

TOXIC, Sept. 13.-(By the Associat ed Press)-A conference of the naval and military authorities and officials Of the foreign office has decided on the following basic principles on the limitation of naval armament, accord ing to the Asahi Shimbun:
 Japan has no intention of reducing her navy independently, nor of sus- pending the previously arranged build ing program. But as she has heartily approved curtailment, so as to pro- mote the happiness of mankind. Jap an is willing to make efforts to estab- fish some arrangement with the DOW CTS.
 Japan believes that it is against the fundamental spirit of the Wash ington conference that any power should possess superior forces suff1- cient to secure a decisive victory over any other power or powers; therefore the powers should minimize the scope of armament to the same degree as that of the Country having the small est naval strength among the powers concerned.
 The powers concerned shall not establish any naval base or make any arrangement to serve as naval bases lor tnelT ndNleS on the Paclflc.
 Concerning the second provision. the Asahi Shimbun says naval off cials originally suggested that forti- fled islands in hte Pacific should be prohibited, but this was amended as above
 Furthermore. it continues. Japan wants to suggest that limitation should be put on future warship con- struction after certain year. to be named because destruction of exist ing warships or suspension of con- struction on those building would in- volve inconvenience. Also the period for the completion of previously plan ned vessels should be extended For example. it is pointed out. the United States should extend her three year program over a longer period, regu- lating the augmentation of her naval strength.
 Concerning seaplanes. submarines and other destructive agencies. it is stated, there will be further discus sions.

Premier Sends Detailed Note To Dublin by 2 Couriers
 Following Their Visit

LONDON, Sept. 13. - (By the As- sociated Press.) - An unexpected hitch has arison in the Irish negotia- tions. Premier Lloyd George. who is at Gairloch, Scotland. today received Harry Roland. secretary to Eamo~a de Valera. and Joseph McGrath. an other Sim Fein representative, ac- cording to an official communication issued tonight, and Messrs. Roland and McGrath are returning to Dublin with his explanation of certain points in the governments proposals for con- sideration by the Dail Eireann.
 It is said de Valera's reply dealing with the question of accepting or not accepting the invitation to confer. ence will not be delivered until Fri day or Saturday.
 It is understood that the letter which Cpuriers McGrath and Roland bore to the premier asked for fresh explanations of the British govern ments latest communication, and that these points are of vital importance, necessitating return of the couriers to Dublin for consultation with de Va lera and his colleagues.
 The new developments will delay the proposed conference between the government and the Irish plenipoten- tiaries beyond September 20, the date suggested by Lloyd George. Appar- ently nothing has been definitely de- cided as yet on the composition of the Irish delegation. Michael Col lins. commander of the Irish republic an army, is mentioned now as pos sible delegate. and it is still possible de Valera will consent to head the delegation.
