LLOYD GEORGE WON'T
BE DELEGATE HERE
Nor Will Lord Curzon Attend
Armament Conference.
81 the Assoeiatea Press.

LONDON. Sept. 20.--Neither Mr.. Lloyd
George, the Prime Minister, nor Lord
Curzon, Secretary for Foreign Affairs,
will attend the Washington conference
on the limitation of armaments. That
official announcement was made to-day,
and ther decision is attributed to
impending developments in domestic
politics.
It had been assumed that Lord
Curzon would go to Washington. His
health. however, Is one of the draw
backs. He was unable to make the
journey to Inverness for the urgent
Cabinet meeting recently to decide the
Governments policy toward the Sim
Fein.
No appointments have yet been made
for the Washington conference. The
choice OF Arthur J. T3alfour, however,
Is believed to be certainty, as he Is
the most experienced of the Cabinet
members in diplomatic negotiations.
Recent cable dispatches to THE NEW
YORK HERALD from Paris have indicated
that it is extremely doubtful whether
Premier BRAND will attend the confer
ence. Dispatches from Rome intimated
that the italian Premier would not
come.

DE VALERA,S REPLY
PUZZLE TO BRITISH
Rurnor That He WithdraWs
Claim of Sovereignty.
By the Associated Press.

LONDON, Sept. 20.-Premier Lloyd
Georges reply to cannon de Valera will
likely be delayed until after a confer
ence with the Ministers at Gairloch
Thursday, and il seems certain that
there will be no Irish peace conference
at Inverness, for, according to the latest
reports, the Premier has decided to re-
turn to London at the end OF the week
IL his health is sufficiently restored, in
which case the next formal Cabinet
council will be held in London.
None Of Mr.. De Valeras previous
communications with the Premier has
provoked such divergent opinions as his
latest telegram. All considered, it. is not
unlikely that the Prime Minister will
even delay his reply until the whole
Cabinet has met here. The Parliament
OF North Ireland met to-day, and the
speech of Sir James Craig, the Ulster
Premier, showed that Ulster Is no better
disposed toward the peace conference
than before.
The decision Of Mr.. Lloyd George not
to go to Washington has revivified gos-
sip Of a coming general election, the
idea being that there are now only two
alternatives to the Irish situation, q
peace conference or an appeal to the
country, either of which would neces-
state the Premier's presence in Eng
land in November. The Government Is
likely TO flnd itself surrounded with
difficulties. not only in the shape of un-
employment, the anti-wasto campaign
and similar matters at home but also
abroad.
Latest reports from Gairloch tonight
say that a ministerial conference may
be held tomorrow, and there are also
runners that Mr.. de Valera has ex-
pressed Willingness to withdraw his
claim that the Irish delegates must go
into the conference as representatives Of
an independent and sovereign State.
A decided diversity in view regarding
the effect of the latest telegram of De
Valera to Lloyd George as to whether
il means a rupture or a forward step
toward conference is notably apparent
in the newspaper comment
The Pail MGtl Gazette and Globe. for
example, uses the headline. "A Rup-

The Americas taxicab drivers re.

happen if they are caught under the
influence Of liquor when Will Lang
ford, eolored taxi driver and pool
hall manager, had his license revol.
ed by action of the city council
Thursday night. Under the city ordi-
nance he is ineligible to another Ii.
eense during the year.
Langford was summoned by City
Marshal Pouncey, following his being
fined in Recorders court Monday on
a charge of drunkenness. Policeman
Parrish appeared as a witness and
told the mayor and council, under
questioning by City Attorney Lane,
that he and Police Lieutenant Lee
had found Langford drunk last Sat-
urday night, with two negro women
in his car. Langford's defense was
that he was not taxi driver, was
not drunk, and was not driving. Later
he admitted he had been drinking
some cider and that he drives a taxi
part of the time.
The danger to the public of unre-
liable taxi drivers was emphasized il
consideration of the case.

MONEY LENDERS

All Announcing Loan
Business Subject By
Councils Order

For some weeks a dispute has
been raging under cover in Americas
on the subject of money leaders as
to who were embraced in that Glass;
fication and therefore subject to col
lection Of the city special license tax
of $50 per year. Several lawyers
were brought before Recorder Fort
and tried for non-payment Of license
and the dispute was threshed out
more or less unsatisfactory for all.
1t was contended by some attorneys
that they were not money lenders,
although they advertised money to-
lend, they asserting that they were
merely attorneys acting for specific
clients in obtaining loans, being paid
no commissions whatever by the loan
companies. Others admitted they
were lenders as representative of in
vestors and paid their licenses. Still
others had paid at the beginning of
the year, never questioning their IL
ability to pay.
Thursday night at its regular meet
ing the city council settled the con-
troversy by amending the license or
dinance to provide for yearly Ill
cense fee of $35 instead of $50, and
instructing City Marshal Pouncey to-
collect the tax from all persons an
nouncing themselves as lending mon
ey.

presented by Chairman W. E. Taylor.

said Mr.. Taylor. "The committee de-

lawyers who handle loans as side
line, and others who represent lend
ers of money here.
