COMMITTEE MAKES MORE
 INQUIRIES OF MAYOR MILAN

New York. Aug. 1.-The legislative committee investigating the city admin istration inquired of Mayor Hylan to- day there was not soma way the in- creasinG cost of running the city goy- ernment could be reduced.
 He said: Not by reducing salaries and per diem wages of city emDloyes.-
 It was brought out that during his administration the municipal payroll had increased S3o.o00.o00. not including the nay of school teachers. Mayor Hy- Ian said the increases were not so great as those granted by private concerns and he was soundly opposed to reduc- ing the remuneration of any city en- ploye. This remark was cheered by q crowd that filled the aldermaaic cham Der.
 The mayor told the committee he had read about recent decreases in the con duct of the state government and the efforts Of congress and the administra- ton to cut national expenditures. He also was informed the state had cut its annual outlay SlS.0Oo.000 but said he considered that mot much of a red1c- ton"
 He was asked if he had any plan he could suggest for reducing municipal expenditures. He replied that if the leg islature would give New York the same home rule" granted second and third class cities. permitting depart mental consultations. he thought ms administration could work out the Af- fairs of the city scientifically and re- Sluce expenses"

It is difficult to disentangle the effect of tn eevident Inability to harmonize the opposing views of Premiers Lloyd George and Briand over Silesia from the possi- bility that De Valera's reply portends an Irish crisis or to decide which of these two has led to the sudden change in the premier's plans. It is noteworthy that MT. Chamberlain, who must have read the Irish reply, informed the house of commons that the premier was returning Sunday, thus intimating there was no immediate gravity.
 Neither in Dublin nor in Irish quarters in London was a grave view taken of the reply. Up to a late hour no authentic report as to its nature could be obtained {; the same secrecy was observed as has characterized the negotiations from the beginning. But the general impression is that it means a continuation of the negotiations, and some of MT. Da Vale ra's CT leagues have taken up quarters in London ready for such a development.
 The understanding is that the reply is not calculated to jeopardize the negotia- tions, but is rather of an informal char aoter, inviting a response from the pre- mer.- Robert c. Barton and Joseph Me Grath, both commandants of the Irish republican army, with Art O'Brien, have reoccupied their quarters at the Grosyen-
 
 or hotel. where they have lately been staying, and. according to McGrath, their stay there will be indefinite. This is supposed to imply renewal of negotia- tions requiring their presence in London
 Mir. Chamberlain called a cabinet coun- cil this afternoon, but it is not known whethe" the meeting wa sto consider the Irish situation, or, more probably the friction which has arisen between France and England over the French protest against the effect on French trade of the bill relating to the safeguarding of indus tries now being debated in the commons
 Art O'Brien, president of the Gaelic league, in an interview tonight, said that so far as he knew there was nothing iu MT. De Valera's reply to call for such precipitate action on the part of MT Lloyd George. There was no suggestion tha tthe reply meant the breaking off ot negotiations.

CATHOLIC PRIEST SHOT
 BY METHODIST MINISTER

Birmingham Ala, Aug. 11.-Father James E. Coyle. for many years pastor of St. PauTs Catholic church died at a hospital tonight after having been shot three times, according to the police, by Rev. E. R. Stephenson, Methodist min ister.
 Immediately after the shooting, Ste phenson went to the county jail mad sur rendered, admitting, according to officials here, that he shot the priest. Officers quote Stephenson as declating he shot Father Coyle because the latter had per formed a marriage ceremony between Stephenson's daughter and Pedro Guss- man, Catholic.
 Rev. Stephenson has been a familiar figure around the Jefferson county court house for years, being known as the marrying parson," because of the large number of marriage ceremonies perform ed by him at the courthouse.
 In statement to neWSpapermen to- night, Rev Stephenson declared that he shot Father Coyle in self defense after the priest had struck him twice. knock ing him to his knees. He stated that he was passing the rectory when Father Coyle called him in and that in an ar- gument which developed he called Father Coyle a Dirty dog" Father Coyle then attacked him, according to Stephenson, whereupon he pulled his revolver and fired three shots.
 Only one bullet took effect, according to Coroner J. D. Russun, who examined the body. This entered the left temple and passed out at the back of the head.

NO HINT OF NATURE
 OF DE VALERAs REPLY

Dublin, Aug II (By the A. P.)-No responsible Sim Feiner who knows will give any hint of the nature of MT. De Valera's reply; no authentic version even of the government proposals has leake dout, but the inference drawn by those in contact with the Sim Fein leaders and government officials is that both seem in better spirits than would be possible if a renewal of the struggle were feared
 The general tone among the Sim Fein leaders seemingly is one of confidence This is observed among the rank and file, as well as among the officials and the released members of the Irish re- publican parliament talk as if they had no idea of returning to jail.
 The truce has given Dublin Castle a rest; work there has greatly slackened during the last few weeks and there have been several dismissals of employees /such as temporary clerks brought from England for confidential and political work.
 It is not supposed that De valera's reply amounts to acceptance of the gov- ernment offer; rather. the belief is held that various objections have been made, but that contact between the two par ties will be maintained subject to fur ther discussion, and that the truce will continue.

ARGUMENTS CLOSED IN CASE
 OF DISTRICT ATTORNEY TUFTS

Boston. Aug. 1.-The full bench of the supreme court today took under ad- visement the case of District Attorney Nar1an A. Tufts of Middlesev county. charged in proceedings for his removal with misuse of his office.
 Argument closed this afternoon with Special Assistant Attorney General Hurl- burt following attorney general Allen in summing up for the prosecution. Melvin M Johnson earlier in the day com pleted the defense argument which Fletcher Fanny began yesterday. The trial is in it's fifth week.
 The attorney general devoted much time to a review of testimony introduced l to support his charge that Tufts was gull i ty of conspiracy to eXtort $100.000 from 1 New York motion picture producers, Ln- 1 der alleged threats of prosecution after midnight party at Misha wum Manor a ! Woburn roadhouse. He quoted names, dates and alleged incidents and remind ed the court that such a conspiracy could rarely be prove by other than circum- stantial evience.
 Preponderating circumstantial evidence existed in the Mishawum Manor case, Allen said. and no reasonable doubt had been left that Tufts assisted in the con spiracy to shake down the diners.
 For the defense Johnson predicted political reaction against the attorney general for toe vast number of worthless specifications cited in the Tufts allega- tfons
 T say the man who made such charges is one whose every act should be scru- tfnized," he asserted, and whose acts while not tryable here perhaps or in any ot1er court are tryable in the great court of public opinion.
 The attorney general declared that il is natural when a proceeding of this kind is instituted there should be a miscon- struction of motives.
 Preference has been made to be as a bloodhound" he continued but there are secret crimes which only a blood hound can run down.
 Allen informed the court that he would cite authority to show that the distric
 attorney / is responsible for the acts O his assistants, and declared that the onl! object in the case against Tufts was tc purge the public service of an unnt pub lie official

Na' geofPresident.
 arding's Father
he Age of 75, pr. George IT. Harding Weeds Miss Alice Severns, g, at Monroe, Michigan.

Monroe Mich, Aug. 11-Dr. George T. Harding, 75 years old, father of President Harding, was married today to Miss Alice Severns 52, by the Rev. Frank T. Knowles pastor of the Monroe Presbyterian church. Miss Severns has been nurse in the office of Dr. Harding at Mariron for many years. The couple drove here in an automobile, obtained a marriage li- cense and went to the home of Rev Knowles where the ceremony was per formed.
 Immediately after the ceremony Dr. Harding and his bride left the city. Their destination was not known. They were accompanied here by younger couple from Marion. Their names were not re- vealed.
 Upon his arrival at the county court house here Dr. Harding obtained the marriage license and asked to be direct ed to Baptist parsonage. As there is no resident baptist minister here he was directed to the home of Rev. knowIes. Dr. Harding made an intellectual attempt to withhold announcement of his mar riage. He refused to talk with newspa- per men and when asked by Rev. Knowles if he was the father of bne president he declined to answer.
 Marion Ohio, Aug. 11-Dr. George T. Harding's office here was locked today to callers. and the announcement that he had obtained a marriage license in Monroe. Michigan, to marry Miss Alice Seyerns, his office nurse, was a distinct surprise to his friends.
 Dr. Harding was 75 years old >tle day his son was niminated for president by Chicago year ago. He is very active the republican national convention in for man of his years. Mrs. Harding has been dead about F years. Miss Severns has been office nurse for Dr. Harding for number of years. She is said to be about 50 years of age.

RAILROADS ARE IN NEED OF
 EARLY FINANCIAL RELIEF

Washington, Aug. 11.-Needs of the railroads for early financial relief through passage of legislation enabling the war finance corporation to provide the money for final settlement between the government and the carriers were urged today at both the capitol and the White House.
 Possible enactment of the administra- tion funding bill before the proposed recess by congress was discussed by President Harding at a conference with Director General Davis of the railroad administration, Eugene Meyer, Jr., di- rector of the war finance corporation. and Cenators Watson, republican, In diana, and Kellogg, republican, Minne- sota of the senate interstate commerce committee.
 The existing railroad situation and it's relation to the economic condition of the country were said to have been discuss ed mad the members of the committee were understood to have told the presi- dent that unless the funding bill was passed before the proposed recess or congress, it might not be enacted until next January, because of other pressing legislation pending.
 Another conference is to be held with the president tomorrow. Before the senate finance committee today, Director General Davis urged the passage of the bill to relieve pressing needs of the car riers for available money. Liquidation of federal control of the railroads was possible by December 31. 1922, he de- hlared.

BODY OF MISSING PRIEST
 FOUND BURIED IN BEAUA

San Francisco, Aug. 11.-Buried under two feet of sand, the body of Father Patrick E. Heslin, of Holy Angels Cath ollie church, CoIma, who has been miss ing since the night of Aug. 2, was dug from a beach on the Pacific ocean twenty miles south of San Francisco late last night and brought to this city today Two bullet wounds were in the body.
 Led by William A. Hightower, an un- employed baker, who had been in San Francisco only a few weeks and who is held pending investigation. local officials were taken to the spot and the body eX- humed as a smoky lantern made feeble efforts to dispel the gloomy darkness. Hightower told the authorities that he learned of the buried body several days ago from a woman who said she was Dolly Mason. She is being sought.
 The lonely grave was but short dis tance from Salada Beach, popular bath ing resort It had been dug at the bot tom of sand cliff.
 From it's cramped position the body was lifted and an immediate examination showed that a bullet had been fired through the heart, while second bullet had plowed through the head and torn off part of the skull.
 The search of the room occupied by Hightower who failed to explain to the police why he had delayed giving his in- formation to them, led to the discovery of pieces of bloody burlap, a rife and newspaper clippings telling of rewards offered for FfA her Hesln.
 Hightower, however, held to his orig
 nal story in which he declared he made a personal investigation several days ago and found bits of black rag, AS calibre revolver and a boodstained piece of gunny sack buried in the sand near the spot where the body was later dug up.
 Three days later he said he made another visit to the grave. Unable to keep his gruesome secret longer, he de- cided to inform high officials of the church and paid a visit to the home of Archbishop Hanna of San Francisco. But the churchman was in conference and Hightower then told his story tosa news paperman, who informed the police. Re covery of the body followed.
 In the pockets of the dead priests clothing were found watch, which had stopped at 9.52 a red morocco case con taining the bread and vine of the blessed sacrament and a roll of money. Father Heslin was last seen alive about g ?. m. Aug. 2. when a stranger drove to the parish house in Colma, persuaded the priest to enter his automobile under the pretense that he wanted the last sac rament administered to a dying relative and drove away. ThA next night Arch bishop Hanna received an anonymous letter demanding s6.5O0 for Father Heslin's return. Later the demand was 1 increased to SIS, eco.
 | Searching parties had been securing 1 the shore line of the Pacific for miles since the priests disappearance with
 out success until last night
 Hightower told the police that he hat
 returned to California from Utah only
 few weeks ago after an absence of sev
 eral years.
