co"ere'. Told $soo,ooo,oo Barley
Sales Would Help Relieve
Depression. .....

Washington-A plea for the legaliza-
ton Of 2.75 per cent barley malt"
beer came to Congress out of the con-
gressional district of Representative
Andrew ]. Volstead, Minnesota, foe
of all things that smack of liquor.
Charles Kenny, representing far
mer elevators association in Mr.. VOL
stead's district, told the joint Senate
and House committee investigating
agricultural conditions that the far
mers Of Minnesota want the manufac-
ture OF 2.75 per cent beer allowed so
that they can market their barley
crops. The same view was held by r..
"A. Jones, representing the Minnesota
grain dealers.
Mr.. Jones said that the legalization
,of the barley-malt beer would mean an
addition to the yearly income of the
Northwest farmers of about $500, 000,-
900 and would aid greatly in relieving
the present agricultural depression
which now prevails in that region.
Both Mr.. Jones and Mr.. Kenny were
confident that barley-malt beer of the
2.75 variety is Notwithstanding and
thus could be made legal under the
prohibition amendment. They suggest
ed that the question 4 intoxicatio1 be
left to testing squad of department
Of agriculture experts.
. Mr.. Jones told the committee that a
petition would be circulated among the
farmers in Minnesota, North and
South Dakota, Iowa and Wisconsin to
urge the legalization of the beer. He
read the proposed petition which de-
clares that such legislation would pre-
vent bootlegging and improve the
health of the people. The movement,
he said, is solely one by the farmers,
and is not in any way backed by the
brewers.
Before the war 100000 bushels
of barley were used in maxim beer"
said Mr.. Jones. II believe what we
advocate is the salvation not only of
the barley crop but Of the whole cereal
industry.
"You will be surprised at the pre-
sent attitude of the country on this
question

Washington-Secretary Hoover has
advised public utility companies
Throughout the country to buy their
winter coal supply instead of waiting
for possible lower prices.
II am convinced" said Mr.. Hoover's
letter, made public here, that due to.
the general depression, the prices of
bituminous coal at the mines is not
too high at the present time. If there
should be recovery of business &C.
tivities in the autumn, taken in con-
junction with the large increase in
percentage of disabled cars, and the
inability of the railways to finance
their maintenance, there are possibii-
ties of developments of a most serious
situation as regards coal movement.
Il cannot but feel that the inter-

face of warning they have sent out in
this connection would not be disposed
to give any priority in such an event."

Pittsburgh-An outbreak of prison
ers in the western Pennsylvania peni-
Tertiary on the Ohio river here was
followed by fire which quickly de-
stroyed 10 frame factory buildings
within the Enclosure.
Police and fire lines were drawn
tightly around the institution and de-
tailed reports of the outbreak were un-
available. It was known, however,
that penitentiary guards, aided by city
policemen and deputy sheriffs, armed
with rifles and riot guns, were holding
the $500 prisoners at bay, while a
heavy fire fighting force was endeav-
oring to extinguish the flames.
Five riot alarms were turned into
the police and fire departments after
the prisoners had revolted and fired
the buildings, which are located on
the Ohio river In the lower part of the
old city Of Allegheny.
Nine fire conpanies Immediately re-
sponded to the alarms and police re-
serves were hurried to the penitentiary.
Telephone communication with the in
stitution was temporarily cut of.
A Gordon Of police was quickly
thrown around every entrance leading
to the prison, while fire lines were es-
tabTfshed some distance away.
Great volumes Of smoke rising from
the Enclosure indicated that the broom
factory and other buildings were rap

The western penitentiary contains q

"9eif-defense, Non-heipfui Policy" at
Outset Of War Which Caused
Serious Delay Imputed BY
G. O. p. Investigators.

Washington Widely conflicting
views regarding direction of the Amer
lean navy during the early months of
the war were detailed in Republican
and Democratic reports. made public,
Of the Senate naval committees in
vestigation of controversies between
former Secretary Daniels and Rear
Admiral William S. Sims.
The reports constitute the last chap
ter in the famous Sims-Daniels con-
troversy Of May, 1920, caused by Rear
Admiral Sims letter sharply criticiz-
ing the Daniels war administration.
Democratic "sins' Charged.
Mr.. Daniels, former President VIII
son and Rear Admiral w. B. Benson,
former chief of operations, were crit
ictsed severely in the Republicans
majority report, which charged many
sins Of omission and commission in
naval war direction. These officials
were as stoutly defended and as high
~ praised in the minority Democratic
report. Admiral Sims was commend
ed by the majority and assailed by
the minority.
A "self-defensive, nonaggressive
and nonhelpful policy" was imputed
to the Democratic administration by
the majority report, which also charg-
ed many serious delays in navy opera
tons resulted.
The minority found that uniform
success of our operation amply DEM
onstrated the wisdom of the policies
adopted and the plans carried out by
the navy department" and INSTEAD of
censure of criticism, the department,
as we'll as the service. deserves the
hearty commentator of this commits
sion and of the American people"
Two Commissions Proposed.
Senators Hale, Maine; Ball, Della
ware, and Keyes, New Hampshire,
signed the Republican report, and
Senators Pittman, Nevada, and Tram
nell, Florida, the Democratic report.
Each report makes separate volume
embracing detailed review of testi-
mony from scores of witnesses during
the naval subcommittee inquiry Of
May, 1920.
Two recommendations were made
by the majority-for appointment of
a professional commission Of naval
officers to study and apply to tho
American navy lessons of the World
war, and for a presidential commits
sion, including civilians to study and
recommend reforms in navy organiza-
ton. No recommendations were pre-
sented by the minority.
The investigation resulted from
reading by Admiral Sims during COM
mittee inquiry more than year ago
into his controversy with Mr.. Daniels
over naval awards of distinguished
service decorations of his letter to
Mr. Daniels, written January Z, 1920,
charging the Navy department with
numerous delays and derelictions in
directing naval warfare. Many speci-
f1c recommendations for future navy
activities as lessons of the war" were
made by Admiral Sims who was in
chief command of naval operations
overseas during the war.

IRISH AGREEMENT
GETS SETBACK
Premier Craig Leaves for Belfast
Seeming to Wash Hands
of Parleys. y
PEACE HOPES DASHED
Ulster Leader Declares He 10 Not Con-
cerned In Sim Fein-British Terms
for South lreiand-lloyd George :.
and De Valera Hold Session.

London-The Irish negotiations have
taken an unexpected development. Sir
James Craig, the Ulster minister, on
leaving for Belfast made statement
which appears to forbid any hope Of
assembling a conference such as Pre-
mier Lloyd George proposed between
himself, De Valera and tho Ulster
premier. A.
The Ulster leader declares that the
Sim Feiners themselves by contest
ing the elections for the northern par
lament on q platform of mo parti-
ton" In which they were roundly de-
feated, have recognized listers claim
to self-determination, and, so far as
his words have been interpreted for
the present, he seems to wash his.
hands of any further participation In
the peace negotiations.
Returns "WeIl Satisfied"
Sir James said: Il return home:
we'll satisfied with the efforts being
made towards peace. De Valera has:
broken his silence and cleared the
ground by his statement to the press.
that he proposes to found his claim
on recognition of the right of selfde-
termination"
The Ulster premier contended that
the people of Northern Ireland in the
recent elections determined" their
own parliament by an overwhelming
majority and that the Valera and his
friends admitted the right of such
self-determination on the part of.
Northern Ireland by the fact that they
themselves stood as candidates for the:
Northern parliament and submitted
their policy of mo partition" This,
in fact, was the only issue placed be-
fore the electorate, said Sir James, and
mo partition was rejected by the
largest majority ever secured in any
general election.
"Such being the TRUTH" he continu-
ed, 1T now only remains for De Va
lera and the British people to come to-
terms regarding the area outside Of
that of which l am prime minister.
The people of Northern Ireland make
no claim whatever to determine the
terms of settlement which Great Brit
ain shall make with Southern Ire
land.
"Promise Cordial Cooperation"
when this is accomplished l can
promise cordial cooperation on equal
terms with Southern Ireland in any
matters affecting our common inter
est.
Having reached the present stage,
I return to Ireland to carry on the
practical work of the government I
feel that our interests are available
at any moment"

DEMOCRATS FIRST FOR DISARM.
AMENT

No one will deny to President Hard
ing any credit which may be due him
for his proposal to call a conference of
the principal allied and associated pow
ers on the reduction of aramaments.
This movement by President Harding
follows the passage of the Borah resolu-
ton put through the senate and the
house by the pressure of public opin-
ion, and until the last moment opposed
by the republicans and the admins
tration.
The credit for initiating the move
ment for reduction of world ornaments,
a movement which antedated the Yer
sailles Peace Conference, belongs to
the democrats.
The first disarmament resolution was
introduced in the house in 1916 append
Representative Hensley (Dem.) Of
Missouri, and was in part as follows:
"Upon the conclusion of the war in
Europe, or as soon thereafter as it
may be done, the president of the
United States is authorized to invite
all great governments of the world to
send representatives to conference,
which shall' be charged with the duty
OF suggesting an organization, court
of arbitration, or other body, to which
disputed questions between nations
shall be referred for adjudication and
peaceful settlement, and to consider
the question of disarmament and sub
NIT their recommendations to their re-
spective governments for approval. -
The practical plan for the reduction
Of ornaments was incorporated in the
covenant of the League Of Nations, re-
jected by the republican senate. This
was followed by the Borah resolution
and the Borah resolution in turn by
the Harding proposal, charging the
scope of the conference. Whether or
not the inclusion of other questions in
the proposed disarmament conference
will result in muddling the disarmament
plan or whether it will make disarma-
ment even more practical by clarifying
the situation in the Far East. remains
to be seen.
Any feasible movement by the ad.
ministration looking to q reduction of
world armament and the consequent
reduction in taxation which would log.
ically, if not actually follow, will meet
with general approval. ''$s ..s... i.
