BRITISH MAKE
NO CONCESSION
Ireland is Notified That Original Offer
of Premier is the Only Condi-
tion for Negotiations.
(By Associated Press Leased Wire


Iverness, Scotland = The British
cabinet at its meeting here today
unanimously approved the reply of
the government to the last note from
canon de Valera, the Irish republican
leader. The reply was handed to Rob-
ert c. Barton the Sim Fein courier,
who started for Dublin at o'clock
this afternoon with it.
A committee of the cabinet with full
power to deal with Mr.. de Valera's
answer to the communication sent
this afternoon and with the Irish sit
uation generally was appointed. An
other committee was appointed to deal
with unemployment.
Iverness, Scotland The momentous
British cabinet meeting held today in
the council chamber of the ancient
town hall here to consider the gov
ernment's reply to the last note from
canon de Valera, the Irish leader, had
settled nothing when adjournment
was taken for luncheon. Those in close
touch with the situation, however, ex-
pect important decisions at the after
noon session.
Prior to the cabinet meeting, upon
which the fate of Ireland may hang,
Premier Lloyd George took breakfast
with the king and it is understood
they conversed on the Irish situation.
Excitement Intense.
Excitement in Iverness over the
meeting was intense. Crowds packed
the streets of the Capital of the
Highlands" to catch a glimpse of the
cabinet members while men and wo-
men climbed on roofs, some of the
more venturesome even clinging to
chimneys.
The square in front of the town hall
was packed long before the ministers
began to arrive but the crowd was
quiet 1t merely wished to get look
at the participants in this first meet
ing of the cabinet in Iverness in more
than two centuries.
= The council chamber where the meet
ing was held is one of the show spots
of Scotland. The ministers were
grouped about huge horseshoe table
opposite stained glass windows con
tanning the heads of the premiers of
the Victorian era, Disraeli, Gladstone,
Salisbury and Rosebery, all of who in
their time struggled with the Irish
question.

SOmers Man Is
Best Samaritan

Here's a revised version of the Good
Samaritan story in which that gentle
man not only helped the thieves but
was himself the man who fell among
them.
The hero is John Writ of Somers.
The road to Jericho is the Main
Street of the same village, along
which is Mr.. Writ ice-cream parlor
and not far from which is his private
garage.
Labor Day evening was celebrated
in Somers with a dance. Visitors
from all over the country were there
in all sorts and conditions of cars. It
was late when Mr.. Writ left the dance
hall. That probably accounts for the
fact that he wasn't just careful about
locking up his garage.
Tuesday morning came much as other
mornings come in omers-sunrise,
milkmen, tourists getting an early
start for the Dells.
One such, to all intents and pur-
poses, was stalled in front of
Mr.. Writ ice-cream parlor. He had
plainly fallen by the roadside. Mot
orists went by-all con the other
side" even though they were neither
priests nor Levites.
Enter: the best Samaritan, Mr..
Writ.
Cordially he offered to help the tour
ist in trouble. He thought he could
because the tire he was wrestling with
was just like the ones on his own car.
A deft twist of the wrist and the re-
fractory rubber was in place and ready
to hit the road. 1t did at good clip
while the tourist and his travelling
companion waved mocking goodbye.
Mr.. Writ did not understand why
until noon when he sauntered into the
garage to look over the old boat. The
spare tire was missing.
"I'm persuaded I put it on for the
birds that stole it," was his report to
Sheriff Rauen Tuesday evening.
And by now "the birds" have flown
beyond Jericho.
Selah!

LEAGUE STILL SHY OF
BOLIVIAN TROUBLES
postpone Action on Plea of South
American States for Adjustments
of Problems.
(By Associated Press Leased wire,

10y associated Press Leased Wire)
Geneva.-The assembly of the League
# Nations at its session this morning
ostponed again discussion of the re-
quest of Bolivia that the long disputed
question Of the provinces of Tacna and
africa, now under the administration Of
Chile, be placed on the agenda of the
assembly. The discussion was put over
till later date on the suggestion of
the new president, H. A. Van Karne-
beck, the Dutch foreign minister.
When today's session opened. Aug
ustin Edwards, head of the Chilean
delegation, took the floor and declared
the request of Bolivia ought to be re-
iected without debate In an ardent,
eloquent speech, Senior Edwards defined
Chile's position as uncompromising on
this question He recalled that the
president of Bolivia had declared he
would respect the treaty Of 1904 be-
tween Chile and Bolivia, revision of
which Bolivia has asked the assembly
to take under consideration:
The incompetence of the league 70
revise the treaty of 1904 was the prin-
cipal argument of Senior Edwards
speech. He declared the covenant Of
the League of Nations provides for the
revision of inapplicable treaties only.
"Can anyone pretend that this treaty,
under which we have lived in peace for
seventeen years, is inapplicable ?" he
asked. Referring to Bolivia's conten-
tion that it had been imposed by force,
Senior Edwards said:
"But that treaty of peace has not
been the result of the victory Of one
adversary over another If the league
were called on to revise all such treat
les, it would have to make over the
map of the world"
Senior Aramayo, head of the Bolivian
delegation, sat impressive and did not
betray that the Chilean delegates
words had made the slightest impress
sion on him. Then Senior Aramayo
presented Bolivia's viewpoint. He said
the treaty was in the opinion of the
Bolivians the result of 20 years of
pressure. "That treaty" he cried, els
not only inapphcable, bit it is in fact
unapplied There can be no hope for
permanent peace in South America so
long as that treaty remains unrevised."

BLAINE STRONG
FOR WATERWAY
Puts Entire Strength of
Wisconsin Behind the
Movement.
SPEAKS AT SUPERIOR
Declares No Force Should Stand
in the Way of the Great
Development Planned.
(By Associated Press Leased Wire

Superior, Wis.-Every effort should
be put forth by Wisconsin and other
states situated around Lake Michigan
to bring about the early construction
of water route from the Great Lakes
to the Atlantic Ocean, Gov. John j.
Blaine said today in speaking before
the tri-state fair here.
"The opening of such route will
mean the movement of western produce
to world markets by the cheapest
method, the enhancement of the econ
omic life Of the remotest sections of
the country and relief from the present
railroad stagnation and excessive
freight rates." the governor declared.
ut will bring to this section of the
northwest, at a reasonable cost of
transportation" he added, "the fuel so
necessary to maintain life and industry
and it will mean more than that, it will
mean the bringing together of the east
and the west in a more harmonious in
dustrial arrangement, and it will link
up one of the great granaries of the
world with the rest of the world by
means of ocean transportation"
Not Species of Socialism.
~ know there will be those who will
denounce any Such governmental activ-
ity as species of Socialism" the gov
.ernor said, "but call it what you may,
civilization will never permit the cali
ing of names to stand in the way OF

opment.
"Turning from the thought of water
transportation, what l have said re-
garding civilization is as true with re-

City Council to Force the Algonquin Hotel Firm
to Fill Up the Hole Dug Recently for
Ten Story Building.
MORE TALK OF FIVE CENT FARE
Jitneys Street Railways, Redstricting and Bridge
Building All Engage the Attention of City
Council at the Meeting

Holes in the ground, dug for the
foundations of buildings, which appar-
emily are not to be built in the near
future, occupied the attention Of the
city council at its meeting on Tuesday
evening in the council chamber and
brought unanimous action on motion
directing the city attorney to take steps
to have these nuisances abated. The
places in question were the excavations
which have been made for the proposed
Algonquin Hotel at the corner of Mar
ket street and Sheridan road and the
proposed Wisconsin Theatre at the cor
ner of Chicago and Park streets. The
work on both structures has been halt
ed Indefinitely but this far nothing has
been done to decrease the hazard to
the city which has resulted from the
excavations.
The discussion arose when bill for
$5625 was presented for the work of
pumping the water out of the fisher
mans pond" at the Algonquin Hotel
site. 1t was voted that this be paid
and that the sum be placed on the tax
roll and charged against the fFope ty
owner.
what About This Hole?"
Speaking of that hole, will it be
there much longer?" interrupted Alder
man Palmgren. Thereupon several of
the aldermen expressed their disap-
prevail of the situation and asked that
some action be taken. A report by the
city building inspector showed that the
street occupancy permit taken out by
the Sheridan Hotel Corporation did not
expire until October 1st and that moth
ing could be done until that time. City
Attorney Slater explained that the only
action which could be taken was to car
ry it to the circuit court and ask for
an abatement of the nuisance. At the
suggestion of Alderman Pabst, it was
voted that the city attorney should i'm
mediately notify the owners of the AL
gonqum site and of the Wisconsin
Theatre site that as soon as possible
they would institute proceedings to
have the "nuisances abated" unless the
property owners took the proper steps
prior to that time.
Redistrict on Population.
The committee on redistricting the
ward lines of the city came to the
council for further instructions. They
reported that they could not decide
whether the lines should be drawn with
the population as basis or with the
voters as basis. Mayor Joachim in
tervened to suggest that the area COW
cred should also be considered, but sew
eral of the councilmen rose to dispute
this contention, maintaining that the
people and not the territory were rep
resented.
Alderman Anderson maintained that
about the only fair way was according
to population and pointed out that an
other redistricting of the city could be
made in few years if the present one
did not provide adequately for the
growth of the outlying wards. The
committee promised to have it's report
ready at the next meeting.
Alderman Thommessen had to have
his little joke during the discussion.
