Trouble in Irisl,
Conference

London, Oct. 22.-POSSlDle rup-
ture of the Irish conference, a gem
eral political crisis in England and
the cancellation of Prime Minister
Lloyd Georges visit TO Warrington
where featured by London news
papers this morning. 1t appeared
that the telegram sent to Pope
Benedict by Eamon De Valera, in
which there was adverse criticism
of King Georges recent message
to the pontifY, appeared to be con-
sidered as q phase of the situation
which threatened q continuance of
peace negotiations for finding a
basis OF peace in Ireland.
With one exception, the action Of
Mr.. De Valera was condemned by
newspapers here today, editor
ials varying from hot denunciations
to sorrowful regret. a view put
forward in some quarters that the
message to Pope Benedict was
merely piece Of tactlessness
which should not be treated so Sc
riously was not adopted anywhere
in the London press. Some COM
naents charged him with insulting
the king, the Pope and his own
delegates now in conference here"
and said he had "torpedoed the
chances of peace
Even where there was a dispo-
sition to make the best of the in
cident, it was admitted the action
Of Mr. De Valera had created a
situation which would need the
greatest tact to smooth over.
The Daily News, one of Mr.. De
Ealera's warnest supporters, said:
This mischievous proclamation
is q characteristic example of the
activities Of the evil genius who
appears usually to preside over
Irish affairs
1T was regarded certain every
where that the incident would
threaten the strength of the Lloyd
George government.
Following is the text Of De Va
lera's telegram to the Pope:
The people Of Ireland are con-
hdent that the antiquities. in the
reply sent in the name of King
George Will not nliSlead you into
believing that the troubles are in
Ireland or that the people OF Ire
land owe allegiance to the British
King.
'"thc independence Of Ireland
'Shas been formally proclaimed by
the regularly elected representa-
tivcs of~the people of Ireland and
ratified by subsequent plebiscites.
The troubles between Ireland and
Great Eiitain have their source in
the fact that the rulers Of Great
Eritaln have sought 70 impose their
Will upon ireland and by brute
force rob The Irish people OF THEN

i Senate Decides
Tax Issue
Republican Compromise on
Income SurtaX Finally Ac-
cepted

Washington, Oct. 22.-One Of
the big tax revision issues in the
senate was settled today with the
adoption, 81 70 IS, of the Repub-
lican compromise income surtaX
rates with the maximum ct so per
cent. All those voting against the
compromise were Republicans.
The senate previously had voted
down an amendment by Senator
Hitchcock (Denlocrat) of Nebras-
ka. proposing retention OF existing
rates on income IN excess Of $780,
600 and another by Senator Ca1d-
er (Republican) of New York to
make the maximum rate 32 per
cent on that part of incomes in
excess of S6S,090.
The vote on the Hitchcock pro-
posal was As to 23. with five Re-
publcans supporting it and four
Democrats voting against it. The
Republicans We're Borah, johnson
Kenyon, La Toilette and ,Norbeck
and the Democrats We're Under
wood, Ransdell, Broussard and
Myers.
Fifteen votes were cast for the
Calder amendment and 81 against
it. Those voting for the proposal
were Republicans
Senator La Toilette (Republican'
Of Wisconsin gave notice that he
would ask for another vote on the
Hitchcock amendment before the
bill finally is passed but it was the
opinion of leaders on both sides
that the surtax issue had been
definitely settled so far as the SEN
ate was concerned. The compro-
mise eeplan, however, Will have to
run the gauntlet Of house opposi-
ton in conference and there We're
predictions that the maximum rate
finally agreed upon in the confer
ence would be around 40 per cent.

SAFE ASaESTHESIA.

Professor David Macht Of Johns
Hopkins University has been
awarded the annual grant from
fhe research fund Of the American
pharmaceutical Association. The
award is given in recognition of DR..
Macht's discovery Of a non-habit
fornzing anesthetic The money
viii be used in further research,
and experimentation along the
same lines.
Dn Macht's new anesthetic and
seaa1ive is classed among the
..benzyl derivatives. 1t was tried
frstson animals and later on hu-
man patients. Its effects are said
70 be just as satisfactory as those
obtained by the opium derivatives,
with no craving or tendency to-
ward any drug habit following its
use. II is estimated that tnOu-
sands Of persons who, from repeat
ed experience Of the older forms Of
anesthesia might have become drug
addices, have been saved by The
lise of the newer compound
Synchronously with the an
nonncement of this award comes
the news that non-narcotic med.-
cine. has been perfected for the
cure of drug addicts. With pre-
rention and cure advanced thus.
the long battle against nercotics
seems nearer won.
