Washington. october 24.--(Special.J The Harding administration turns it's back on the men who fought the war against Germany. and arrays it. self against the law which gives preference in postal appointments to .members of the American expedition ary forces.
 Sometime ago, Representative Jeff fers of Alabama, issued a statement in which it was shown that an eX- service man who in an examination made the required grade, and who had been granted a certificate of prefer ence by virtue of his military service by the civil service commission, had not been appointed postmaster at Clanton. The soldier in the case is a democrat.
 Representative Flood of Virginia. has demanded of Postmaster General Hays information relating to the ap- pointment of a rural mail carrier at Bremo Bluff, Va, who did not serve in the war and who received a rating of 7s50, over man who received a rating of S5.40 and who served with the American eXpeditionary forces.
 The man turned down in the Flood case is democrat.
 In the opinion of democrats. evil dence accumulates, that the spells system has supplanted the merit sys- tenn, and that democrats will not be named in the postal service even when they make the necessary rating and have credit for having gone lover the top" in the defense of their country

Washington. october 24.-(SpecialO There will be no serious attempt on the part of the republican majority 10 enact the Dyer anu-iynching bill. it is learned tonight. The bin was reported by the Judiciary committee of the House to satisfy clamorlng negroes of the "upnft' or New Eng land school, and, it is indicated, to give Representative Dyer of Missou- ri, an issue on which to conduct a campaign for reelection.
 Democrats on the judiciary com mittee, opposed the bill unanimously. But their number is six whereas re- publcans, headed by Representative Volstead of prohibition notoriety are IS. Were, the bill devised solely to prevent and punish lynching. it's sup porters would be more numerous. But it is so extreme that it would have tendency to jeopardize the existence of state courts in matters growing out of race clashes.
 The bill provides that in cases growing out of lynchings, federal courts shall have Jurisdiction when ever in the opinion of relatives or friends of the victim of the lynch ing, justice will not be done by a jury.

It IS pure, good and tastes very pleasant.
 You can feel this take hold of a cough or cold in ] way that means business. The cough may be dry, hosrse and tight, or may be persist. ently loose from the formation of phlegm.

 the County

Carrollton, October 24.--(Special) Politics in this county have reached low ebb, the subject seldom being mentioned only in a casual way. Not withstanding the fact that cam paign will be waged the coming year for both state and county officers not a single man in the county has an- nounced his intention of making the race, although several are mentioned for the sheriffs office, and in all probability has made the fact known to their closest friends.
 Tho most important office to be filled in this county is that of probate judge, the office now being held by B. G. Robinson, who will no doubt of fer for reelection. although no off cial announcement has been made to this effect. Judge Robison has made a capable official and indica- tions are that he will not be opposed in the coming race.
 There Is no doubt but that Pickens county will give Judge w. w. Bran don of Tuscaloosa an overwhelming majority in the coming race for gov ernor He has many warm personal friends in this county and made a good race in the previous election, al- though the county gave Governor Kiiby small majority over him.

review and discussion of data pre- pared for the conference had reached point where formulation of some proposal for limitation of naval arr mament had been taken up by the American group to be presented at an appropriate moment when the con . ference convenes next month. Secre- tary Hughes, however. would not in- dicate in any way what had been dis cussed during the session in his of flee,
 Two MeetinRs in Day
 The meeting of the delegation. con sisting in addition to Secretary Hughes, of Senators Lodge and Un- derwood and Elihu Root, was the sec ond held during the day and the fourth they have held since they were appointed by President Harding to represent the United states in the forthcoming conference.
 It has been generally agreed among government officials that the formulation of a programme would be the most serious problem to face the international conference even If the delegates were successful in elim- mating causes for friction in the far east during their discussion of far eastern and Pacific problems which will parallel consideration of arms limitation.
 The American naval group to act as advisors for the American dele gates in this connection has not been named. but the attendance at the meeting today of MT. Roosevelt and AdmiralCoontz and Captain Pratt led to an expectation that they might be appointed to that work.
 Secretary Hughes said he had been constantly In touch with the navy department in connection with It's preparation of data for the confer ence, but that 1t had been deemed ad- visable at this time to call the navy officials into conference with the en- tire dele gation. As Secretary Denby and his advisers were the first gov ernment officials to be summoned by the conference delegation, additional importance was attached to the ses- sion today.
 Navy officers are known to have been engaged ever since the invita- ton for the Washington conference was decided upon by President Hard ing In study of all the questions involved fn any proposal to limit sea armament or to reduce existing naval forces. They are also understood to have encountered difficulties in pre- pairing a programme for. recommen- dations to the government and the conference delegation, their consid- eration of the subject having ranged over wide field and taken in many factors not directly allied In the pub lie mind with the question of naval armament.
 rh indicated fnnioht whether the American delegates ex- pected to confer further with naval officials or would cali In army off cials later for the purpose of discuss ing land armament from the same Standpoint.

 NINETY DAYS IN JAIL
Dv Associated Press

St. Paul, Minn. october 24.--Arthur c. Townley. president of the National Non Partisan league. together with Joseph Gilbert. former state organizer of the league, must serve sentence of 90 days in the Jackson county (Minnesota) jail, as their last avenue of appeal was closed by refusal of the federal supreme court to sreview their case.
 Townley and Gilbert were convict ed in July 1919, of conspiracy to en- courage disloyalty during the war, in violation of state law.
 Motions for a new trial were de- nied in July. 1920, by District Judge F. c. Dean. The defendants then ap- pealed to the state supreme court, which denied their appeal and the case then was carried to the United States supreme court.
 Gilbert prior to his conviction in Jackson county, was found guilty by the Goodhue county (Minnesota) dis trict court of violation of the state espionage act. and after exhausting all avenues of appeal went to jail in Red Wing last February to serve a sentence of one year.

IRISH CONFERENCE
 CRISIS HAS NOT
 YET DISAPPEARED
Question of DeVaIera Note to Pope Only One Discussed at Three-Hour Session
 Held Yesterday
By Associated Press

London, October 2l.-The first real crisis in the Irish conference, caused by Ramon DeValera's asser- tion of Ireland's independence in his message to Pope Benedict last week, is not passed, but there are hopes, if not prospects, that it may be smoothed over or compromised.
 The representatives of the British government and of the Dali Eireann conferred for nearly three hours this afternoon. and this question was the only one before the conference, which adjourned until o'clock tomorrow afternoon. The government is un- derstocd to have placed clearly before the Sim Fein delegates it's ultimatum or declaration. that Great Britain will deal with Sim Fein Ireland only as part of the British empire and not with representatives of the Sim Fein as plenipoteniaries of an Independent republic.
 Makes Policy Clear
 Prime Minister Lloyd George made the governments policy clear 10 the Iio0SS OA &ohttHOHS DtlOEc Ht MdAkel over to the Irish conference at his official residence In Downing street. He said Mir. DeValera's message was a grave challenge" that the govern ment's position on that question (meaning independence) had been made abundantly clear and that the conference could not proceed upon any other basis
 The business of today's conference was described after adjournment as an attempt to agree upon formula which would carry the conference over the apparent deadlock created by Mir DeValera's statement.
 That 1t requires diplomacy goes without saying.
 Mir. DeValera's claims of Ireland's independence is preliminary corr respondence with Mir. Lloyd George apparently were compromised by a tacit agreement to avoid any discus sion of them. but apparently the is- sue now has reached a stage where avoidance of the subject. or a com promise upon 1t. is almost impossible Whatever optimism that was discern . able tonight among informed on lockers, both British and Irish, was based upon their conviction that there are men of high abilities on both sides of the conference table and that there Is a sincere desire for a settle : ment of the whole Irish problem on both sides
