Believe With Construction of
Road Improvements on the
Beach Will Begin.
WILL MAKE PROVISION
FOR THE TOURIST TRADE
Citizens Who Desire TO See City
Develop Are Urged to At
tend the Meeting

With good weather there should be
big attendance at the mass meeting
called for Mallory Court Monday night.
Every effort Is being made By the
committee Of arrangements 10 make
this meeting a representative one ana
through this means get things started
on our county road building program.
The committee or arrangements
have authorized the following state
ment OF facts as it appears to the
members of the committees
That there is justification in the
demand that immediate construction
Of the Gulf Beach highway BE started.
and that every effort to force immeai-
ate valuation Of the bonds be made.
The committee believes from facts
adduced IN the matter that the $500 GOO
Of bonds necessary to build the Gulf
Beach highway upon validation arc
Immediately available for this work
for the reason that the CUE Beach
highway, not having been designated
a state road by the state fsighnav
Department cannot participate in inc
money which can be secured from the
U. 5. government through tie state
Highway Department.
Therefore, there are no strings
upon the money available fer tae con-
struction OF the Cut Beach highway
and that the immediate valuation on
the bonds and their sole should bo
made, so that for two reasons this
money can be thrown into the chm
nels Of labor and trade. The first
reason is that II construction on the
Gulf Beach highway IS started Mt
once, employment will be Afforded our
labor and secondly that the distribh-
ton Of this money viii help to lessen
the burden of the taxes imposed for
the county road building program as
provided in the fiscal year budget of
the County Commissioners.
The committee viewing the matter
from broad, economic standpoint
also realizes that the greatest good re-
sulting from the building Of the Gulf
Beach highway is not in the mere
building Of the road, but that CO.
ordinate with the beginning of this
road construction, development Of the
Gulf Beach itself will begin.
'The committee feels that nobody
viii make an Investment at the Gulf
Beach until there is an absolute as
surance that the road viii be built.

DE VALERA'S REPLY
TO BRITISH PREMIER
States That Irish Do Not Want
Him to Abandon Any Prin-
ciple Whatsoever.
nv The Associated Prasal

DUBLIN. Sept. 17.-Eamonn DeValera,
replying to Lloyd George, says that the
Sim Fein already has accepted the pre-
mier's invitation in his own exact terms.
They had not asked the premier %
abandon any principle and had only one
object in seeking a conference Oh lne
basis OF truth. Mr.. DeValera 5 reply to
the prime minister was given out by the
Sim F'ein publicity department. It was
drafted by him at Black Rock and
brought to the mansion house. where it
was made public by Arthur Griffith and
Eamon J. Duggan and was distributed to
the press by Desmond Fitzgerald, propa-
ganda minister.
The expectation here is that it VIII
make possible a renewal of the institution
to a peace conference.
The text Of Mr.. DeValera's reply fol-
lows:
In reply to your last telegram just
received I have only to say that we have
already accepted your invitation in the
exact words which you requote from your
letter Of the seventh instant. We have
not asked you to abandon any principle,
even informally, but surely You must un-
derstand that we can only recognize our
selves for what we are.
.If this se1f-recognition be made
reason for cancellation of the conference,
we regret 1t, but it seems inconsistent.
have already had conference with you
and in these conferences and in my writ
ten communications have never ceased
to recognize myself for what / was and
am. If this involves recognition on your
part, then you have already recognized
US.
HAD it been ours desire to add to the
solid substance of Ireland's right the We
neer of the technicalities OF the inter-
national usage, which you introduce we
might have claimed already the advan-
tage OF all these consequences which you
fear would flow from the reception of our
delegates.
Now, believe me. we have but one
object at heart-the setting UP OF the
conference on such a basis Of truth and
reality as would make II possible to Sc
cure through it the result which the peo-
pies OF these two islands ardently desire.
Il am, sir, faithfully yours,

Editor Pensacola Journal:
note by the paper an invitation
has been extended the County Com
missioners to be present at a mass
meeting to be held at Mallory Court
on Monday night, the 10th instant, to
consider the question of road pro-
gram and the building Of the Gulf
Beach highway.
On account of the possibility of my
not being able to be present at the
meeting because of sickness in my
family I thought it well to write a
letter to the public, through the me-
dunn of your valuable paper, stating
my position as one member of the
Board of County Commissioners on
the questions to be considered.
! wish to state first that the sup
posed delay In the formulation Of road
program is not a delay but due to
circumstances and the law governing
the bond issue.
IN the first place, the bond election
was held on September goth. 1920, too
late for the County Commissioners to
levy a tax to take care of the sinking
fund and interest on the bonds, which
has to be done before the bonds can
be sold. The taxes, as you know, are
levied and the budget has to be made
up by the county between July list

CONFERENCE BETWEEN BRITISH
CABINET AND SINN FEM SURE
Cannot Meet Irish Delegates as
Representatives of indie
pendent State.
(sy The Associated Press.l

LONDON, Sept ia conference
between the British cabinet and repre-
sentatiyes Of the Sim Fein seems as
sured. Eamonn Devalera, the Irish
republican leader, dispatched tele-
gram to Premier Lloyd-George late
tonight which apparently cannot fail
to achieve this result
His message was in reply to one
from the prime minister, which de-
clared firmly the inability of the Brit
ish government to meet the Sim Fem
plenipotentiaries on the basis that
they were representatives OF the in
dependent state and pointing out the
consequences Of such recognition.
The prime minister, in replying to
the Irish leaders previous insistence
that the meeting be held without
prejudice and untrammeled by any
conditions" declared at would be de-
sirable TO say that a conference in
which we had already met your dele
gates as representatives OF an indie
pendent and sovereign state would be
a conference without prejudice"
Such acceptance of the delegates.
Mr.. Lloyd-George pointed out would
set an example to other powers TO
treat Ireland as a sovereign and In
dependent state and he emphasized
that there could be no abandonment,
however, informal Of the people Of
allegiance to the king.
Reports tonight from Gairloch indi-
Gated that Mr.. Lloyd George continues
to improve from his indisposition. He
was able to be out on the porch Of
his residence and it is thought that
he viii be able to return to his desk.

WASHINGTON Sept. 1.-THE SEN
ate finance committee failed today to
reach final decisions on the smoot
tax simplification bill, embodying a
manufacturers sales levy, and on Sen
.ator Calder's proposal to impose a tax
Of s6.4O gallon on all alcoholic IL
qhors Withdrawn from bond for other
than manufacturing purposes.
The committee will meet again Mon
day.
Senator Shoots bill was said to
have been favorably received by sew
eraI senators who were represented as
desiring a less complicated tax law
than in their judgment would result
for enactment of the amended house
bill The consensus of opinion still
seemed to be, however, that the COM
mittee would reject the Smoot mea-
sure.
Reiterating that he would osfer the
bill in the senate, the Utah senator
said. Eve will see what viii happen
ISOLATION came out today in islvor Of
the manufa cturers' tax proposal, an
official sta telnent from the ass citation
headquarters declaring thai such a
tax would give to the business men
OF the country just what they Them
selves feel is needed to set in motion
the wheels of industry that will give
employment to more than five million
men now idle"
Senator Callers whiskey amend
ment was discussed by the committee
today and. according to the author and
other members, was accepted in prin-
ciple The New York senator said he
had been asked to redraft the amend
ment and present again on MondaI as
it was feared that as originally worded
itymight be construed to tax industrial
alcohol. The proposed amendment
goes further than the house provision,
which would tax at the $6.40 rate only
alcoholic liquors diverted to beverage
purposes. Senator Calder would tax IL
quors withdraw for medical purposes
as WELL
The Calder proposal to tax 2.75 per
cent beer was said to have been less
favorab1y received, as some commit
teemen were of the opinion that it
would be in conflict with the prohi-
bition amendment to the constitution.

iris STANDS PAT
Speaker Will Start Season With
Same Indian Team.
One Shift in Batting Order
Only Difference for 1921.
BY ROSS TENNEY.

(Sport Editor, Cleveland Press)
Dallas, Tex, March 29. - Iris
Speaker is living UP to his announced
plan of standing pat on the lineup
with which the Indians went thru the
American league last summer and
mopped up the Brooklyn Dodgers for
the worlds title.
Except to move little Joe Sewell up
into the fifth place in the batting or
der, Speaker hasn't varied his lineup
in the spring games.
iris figures on starting the season
with five regular hurlers ready to take
turns in the box where he had only
three last spring-Coveleskie, Bagby
and Caldwell. The added starters are
Walter Mails and George Uhle, both
of whom showed great form last fall.
Another place where Iris figures
he'll start stronger this year than last,
is in that left field combination of
Jameson and Evans. Against right
handlers. Jameson hit .319 last season
and Evans smashed southpaws for
.349. Speaker also figures that his
other right and left handed shifts with
Johnston and Burns splitting the first
base Job and Elmer Smith and Joe
Wood alternating in right field will
help nightly.
In fact, the only question mark in
the lineup when the team Started
south was the ability or Seven 10
smooth out some of the rough spots
in his fielding. However. he has fol-
lowed instructions to be natural in
stead of always trying to set himself
before throwing. He was the hitting
sensation of the tribe in the early
games.
In addition to their "big five" of
pitchers, the Indians will retain Nor
ton and Clark for chief utility duty
and two southpaw recruits will also
stick with the tribe. They are Jess
Petty, with Indianapolis last year, and
Ted Odenwald. from Joplin.
The Indians also picked up sensa-
tionaI young outfield recruit in Ernie
Jeanes, a young Texas semi-pro whom
Speaker will keep if he continues the
form shown in early games. Speaker
is not claiming the pennant but the In
dams figure to. be right up there as
their chief rivals. the White Sox, have
been riddled and the Yanks don't
seem any stronger than last year when
the best they could do was third.
They have lost Derrill Pratt, who was
the chief thorn in the side of the In
dams in the games that Higgins crew
battled the tribe last season.
