A woman, about 80 years old, of
medium size and good looking, who
says her real name is Elizabeth Car
rothers and gives Kansas City as her

worthless checks at number of

and posing the checks at Pe1letier's,
the Famous, Voiland-Engel Clothing

Walk-Over shoe store, all written on
the First National bank of Manhattan,
and the Citizens Home bank of juno
ton City. The five checks ranged in
amounts from $500 to $35 and totaled
$500. All of them were signed in
the name of Mrs. George Bell or Mrs
George Nelson. which the police say
are fictitious names as well as sigma
lures.
Following her arrest both goods and
money which she received on the
checks were recovered by the police.
She has been turned over to the coun-
ty authorities

San Francisco, July 23.-His motor
stalled fifteen thousand feet in the
air. Raymond G.. Fisher, forest service
pilot, landed his plane on a tiny islet
in Crater lake, oregon, sent wire
less for repairs and finally sailed away
between precipices thousand feet
high.
Fisher saw only the island as an
available landing spot Thursday when
his engine failed. The lake, set In the
basin of an old crater and supposed to
be the deepest lake on the continent
could be approached only thru the
rockwalls a quarter of a mile high.
Fisher made it, set up his wireless and
asked for a set of spark plugs.
Another plane arriving over head,
was signalled away because there was
no room on the islet for two moving
planes. The relief pilot attached the
spark plugs to parachutes and swoop-
ing down close dropped enough on the
island that Fisher could find four that
night by torchlight.
Shortly after making repairs Fisher
had winged his way out of the hole
and was safely enroute to Medford.

SHUTS TO IRELAND
viii Place Services at Disposal
of Irish Leaders.
Presence of South African
Creates Confidence.
BELIEVE HOME RULE OFFERED
No Important Developments
Expected for Ten Days.
Sir James and De Valera May
Get Together Again.

London, July 23.-The outstanding
feature of the governments Irish
peace proposals to Eamonn de Valera
is a concession of fiscal autonomy it
was stated on high authority here to-
day.
The position of Ulster is amply Sc
cured.
Dublin. July 2S.-The impression is
growing here that the Irish peace
offer made by Premier Lloyd George
to Eamonn de Valera, the republic
can leader, will work out in a settle
ment.
The terms of the offer are still be-
ing held in the strictest confidence.
London, July 2S.-Gen. Jan c..
SHUTS, the South African premier, is
expected to leave London for ireland
early next week, probably Monday, to
place his services at the disposal of
both Eamonn de Valera, republican
leader and Sir James Craig, the Ill
ster premier, during their critical con-
sideration of the Irish peace proposals
made by Premier Lloyd George.
This statement was made today in
a quarter close to the South African
statesman.
In circles which are closely observ-
ing the developments of the Irish
situation. much satisfaction is eX-
pressed at the prospect of General
Smuts's re-entry into the negotiations
in the manner indicated.
This is particularly the case in view
of the persistent reports that the Brit
ish prime minister's offer, submitted
to Mr.. de Valera Thursday, includes a
plea for dominion home rule for Ire
land on the lines of the South African
constitution. Concerning the workings
of this form of government General

to give information of the greatest
value.
Will Not Publish Proposals.
With Eamonn de Valera back in
Dublin, British circles today apparent
ly had settled down to await the next
move in the Irish negotiations, which
are expected to come from the south
ern Irish capital soon after leaders of
the republicans have had a chance to
study the document which Mr.. de Va
lera received from Prime Minister
Lloyd George yesterday. A meeting of
the Dali Eireann, for the purpose OF
considering the British offer. is looked
for next week but Sim Fem leaders
here appear to feel that ten days or
more will elapse before notable de-
velopments occur Meanwhile publ
cation of the proposals is not antici-
pated, unless Premier Lloyd George
and Mr. de Valera reach an agree
ment to that effect.
Two important points which seem
to have considerable bearing on the
negotiations are. first, whether an
other meeting between Sir James
Craig, premier of Ulster. and de Va
lera can be arranged in ireland, and
second, whether an amendment to the
present home rule act would be salts
factory to the Irish republicans
should such a solution be advanced.
A comprehensive statement cover
ing the entire negotia tons is expected
to be made by Mr.. Lloyd George In
the house of commons next week.

BIG FIGHT BREWS
Wage Tariff War All Over in
Senate Is Outlook.
Demands for Changes in Ford
ney Bill Are Pouring In.
BY ]. BART CAMPBELL.


Washington, July 23.-The demands
of sectional and especial interests for
changes in the Fordney tariff bill as
on the senate finance committee to-
for these interests are arriving in an
bill which the committee will begin
Monday.
There are indications that the tar
iff fight will be waged all over again
when the bill is reported to the senate.
The house leaders were able to choke
off debate and amendments by in
voking a special rule. The senate
does not possess such a rule. Cloture
is the only gag rule" the senate pos
sesses. A two-thirds vote is necessary
to enforce it. The senate leaders can
clap a special rule with a majority
vote.
Senator Ashurst Democrat, of Ari-
IONA, has already started the ball roll
ing in the senate by demanding pro-
lection for long staple cotton grown in
his state and in California, which the
house placed on the free list.
1t is problematical when the finance
committee will be able to report the
bill. Senators favoring the enactment
of tax bill declare they are encour-
aged by the prospects of the tariff bill
lingering in committee indefinitely
a month. The taxation first SEN
ators predict he will not be able to do
so. They declare the tax bin, after be-
ing rushed thru the house, will over
take the tariff bill either in commit
tee in the senate

HARD ON CAMPING TRIP
Ford and Edison to Join Him Mt Har-
vey Firestono Home.

Washington, July 2S.-President
Harding left here by automobile to-
day to join the camping party of Har-
vey S. Firestone, Henry Ford and
Thomas A. Edison, on Licking creek,
near Peckville,- Md, seventeen miles
from Hagerstown, Md. He expected to
spend the night under canvas and re-
turn to Washington late tomorrow.
Mrs. Harding did not accompany
tie president, having decided not to
accept the invitation. The presidents
schedule called for luncheon at the
camp and an afternoon in the Mary
land and West Virginia hills. Besides
Mr.. Firestone, Mr.. Ford and Mr.. Edi-
son. and their wives, he will find
Bishop William F. Anderson of the
Methodist Episcopal church, an old
friend, and Mrs. Anderson at the
camp. Bishop Anderson is understood
to have arranged for Mr.. Harding's
spending the weekend with the party.
There was something of memorial
to the late John Burroughs about the
occasion, as Messrs. Firestone, Ford
and Edison in past years frequently
were in company with the naturalist in
out of door trips of the same kind.

Those who are passengers on the

CHEEKY greetings, the playful scold-

made her work a lesson to the public
in its pleasant accomplishment.

way an elderly man who is q regular
passenger on the elevator inquired for
Miss Weir when she was i'll recently.
For nine weeks of her illness made
the patrons of the elevator doubly ap-
preciate what Miss Weir meant in her
customary place. So widespread was
the fame of the young woman eleva-
tor manager that many local feature
stories have originated from her
methods of doing her work, or her
personality, or the pithy sayings she
would post in the elevator to catch the
eye of the public, to draw a laugh or
to inspire with courage for the days
work.
With all her value In her elevator
sphere, many of Miss Weir's friends
have held her to be worthy of an OPP
portunity to succeed in more advan-
tageous work. and it is with pleasure
for her opportunity that has come,
with good wishes for her success,
mixed with regret for her departure,
that her friends see her leave her IA
miliar post.
