SIGH OF RELIEF
GREETS TRUCE
DUBLIN A PEACEFUL CITY AFTER
MONTHS OF WAR.--MAY BE
PERMANENT.
TERMS OF ARMIsTlCE FIXED
Lloyd George and De Valera VIII Con,
fer Soon-All South ireland and
All England Hope for Perma.
nent Peace.

London.-With something like an
immense sigh of relief the entire coun-
try has greeted the news of the cessa-
ton of warfare in Ireland and Eamonn
de Vaelra's coming conference with
the British prime minister at London,
which it is fervently hoped will lead
to full restoration of peace, the pros
poets of which even the more cautious
political observers regard as brighter
than for long time.
The careful wording of Mr. De Va
lera's acceptance of a conference is in
terpreted in some quarters Of the Irish
republican leader feeling his way with
his own followers 1t is thought, how.
ever, that truce deliberately embark
ed upon cannot well be deliberately
discarded, and that alone is consid-
Grafton of great promise.
The terms of the truce were agreed
to at British military headquarters in
Dublin. The provisions of the truce
cover fully all the ground for a TEN.
porary peace between the active Irish
workers and the crown forces. All at,
tacks, searches and raids, surveillance
and proyications are to be abandoned
by both sides.
Mr.. De Valera's acceptance of the
responsibility for fulfillment of the
truce by the Irish republican army is
held to dispel the idea in some quar-
tiers that the activities of the Sim Fem
are beyond control Of the political
chiefs. Whether that is SO will be
tested by the course of events after
the truce comes into effect.
Sir Hamar Greenwood, chief secre.
tary for Ireland, will remain at the
Irish office watching the situation
AS Sir James Craig, the Ulster pre-
mier, is remaining in London, it is
conceded that Premier Lloyd Georges
principal task will be to bring him and
Mr. De Valera together.

DIDN'T KNOW DOGS
Mrs. Blnks Classed Them All in
One Tribe.
Anyway, the Animal Was EXlctea
From the Sacred Precincts, and
Dignity Of the Home Upheld.

Mrs. Binks must have had a disap-
pointing afternoon at the bargain
counters for she returned to her Cap
Itol Hill home with the quick, decisive
tread that indicated a highly Irritable
mental condition to those who knew
her well. This condition, Glenn Far
ley writes In the Seattle POst-Intelli-
gencer was not improved by the dis
cOvery that her ten-yearold son Willie
was entertaining practically all of the
neighborhood children in the house..
and that one of the most effervescent
Of the guests was large, woody,
strange dog, whose booming bark as
sailed her from the depths Of the dim
ing room on her arrival.
Willie and his guests and the dog
poured out of the front door like an
audience from burning theater. short
ly after mother arrived, and it became
apparent that she was in the back
ground, with a large, able-bodied
broom.
Binks arrived home and sat down
to dinner in great exaltatiOn. 1t ap-
peared that Seattle had won a game
with somebody.
"Class is bound to tell" he began
enthusiastically. II predicted from
the beginning Of the season that the
boys would"
He was interrupted by a Roman
howl from Willie. His mother had
reached him finally, in an unguarded
moment, and she had a firm grasp on
the slack Of his trousers. Two de-
cisive whacks were administered
amidst bowls that would have put q
normal welkin out of business.
Before you eat l want you to go
out and lose that dog" she began. II
have told you before that l won't have
these stray, worthless ours about the
place and, above all, In my house.
A boy has no business with dog,
anyhow"
"Why, ma" Binks interposed, "when
l was boy no family thought of rats
ing a boy without a good, husky dog
for a"
II have no doubt Of It," broke in
Mrs. Binks. "YOur whole conduct in
dicates that you were exposed to that
atmosphere"
But the dog" began Willie.
"Not a word from you," said his
mother. you've got to get rid Of
that dog. l won't have him around"
"But the dog" insisted Willie.
The boy evaded swipe that would
have put him out of business, but he
got out of the danger zone and fin
ished the sentence.
"The dog belongs to Bonnie Gum
and he is a st. Bernard and a prize
winner" he said. Hes worth more
than a thousand dollars. Bonnie has
him chained up now"
Binks was about to smile discreetly,
when his wife said:
George, If you're through your din
ner you may be excused"
Her husband looked around doubt
fully:
"The question is" said he, "have

Runaway Ship Captured,

Believing their ship would fall vic
tim to the treacherous quicksands that
infest the North Carolina coast from
Hatteras to Cape Lookout, the crew
Of the schooner James e. Newsom, con-
slsting of eight men, took to the life
boats when the vessel struck the
beach.
The schooner, however. refused to
let herself be swallowed up and got
OF unassisted. The party in the life
boat, fearing to make an attempt to
reach shore before daybreak, saw the
schooner get of the shoals and start
to sea. They set out after her, but
she was too fast. A coast guard cut
ter took part In the chase. After
playing hide and seek with her pur-
suers for a whole day the Newsom was
captured. Only two sails were dam
aged. She was towed into Norfolk,

GOVERNMENT YIELDS TERRIFIC
WEAPON TO ENFORCE col
LECTION OF TAXES.
WARRANT OF DIsTRAINT
internal Revenue Service Makes Col
lection Of Tax Regardless OF
Whether the Accused Person
ls Guilty.

Memphis.-The property seized of
Caesar Cattaneo under warrant of dis
traint for Illicit distilling will be sold
at public aution for cash, on Wednes-
day, July 81, 121, in front Of the post
office, Capleville, Tenn.
Now comes the internal revenue SER
vice with the old, old warrant of dis
traint as an element in the matter of
Illicit distilling and possession of liq-
uor unlawfully. And persons who are
engaged in this violation of the ma
tional prohibition act and those who
contemplate taking it us as meals
OF acquiring money viii do well to give
heed to the operation of this warrant.
1t should be understood that the rev.
enue department has nothing to do
with the prosecution of cases coming
under the prohibition act. That branch
of the government has to do only with
the collection of the tax which the
government demands for the distilling
of liquor or for the sale of liquor. The
fact that such distilling is prohibited
by law does not relieve any persons
from payment of the assessment which
is levied on the product for this must
be paid the government whether it is
produced lawfully or unlawfully.
The enforcement of the prohibition
act and the prosecution of cases aris-
ing out of such violation is vested in
other branches of the government.
Therefore, the revenue department
does not wait until a person charged
with violation Of the law is convicted
before descending with demand for
the required tax. The procedure
briefly is this: The prohibition en-
forcement officer makes a raid. He
finds still Of liquor An arrest may
be made or not. He makes report
to the district prohibition enforce
ment office. That office reports to
the internal revenue department. The
word is sent to the collector of in
ternal revenue in the district in which
the violation occurred. The deputy
collector proceeds to collect Uncle
Sans tax.
Assuming the tax or assessment is
not paid, the deputy collector, under
the warrant Of distraint, is empow
cred to seize any property whatsoever,
located at any place, and sell the
same for the assessment 1t may be
the personal property of any nature,
such as clothing, furniture, automo-
bile, stock, money in the bank, or
of like nature.
1t may be the realty of the person
named in the prohibition officers re-
port. His home may be taken and |
sold, or other realty he owns. Fur
thermore, it is not necessary that the
sold under the warrant Of
distraint be located in the state where
the alleged offense was committed |
The government looks to securing the
payment of the assessment regardless
Of where the property is located.
1t may appear as queer, in fact, may
seem harsh, that property can BE-
seized and sold without the owner
thereof being found guilty first. But
it is done and it readily must be seen
what terrific club the government
Yields in securing payment of the tax
1t exacts from the Illegal liquor
maker.

William is said to contend that the

 Most novel plans will be the estab- lishment of a dead line' extending approximately four blocks on all sides of the arena. Blue coats sta toned at intervals of a few yards on this boundary will bar adnittance to all persons who do not possess tickets or other proper credentials

Dempsey LeaUes :. AtLantic City For
 Scene Of Battle.

Atlantic City, July Jack Demp sey and the entire training camp were up bright and early today for the departure to Jersey City where the champion will defend his heavy weight crown tomorrow afternoon against Georges Carpenter, European titleholder.
 Dempsey enjoyed a sound nights sleep, the champion retiring at 9:30, following a conversation which was notable for it's absence of fight talk.
 On Dempsey's arrival in Jersey City today the champion will go to private residence which has been put in readiness for him, and the To- cation of which will be held secret. Jack Kearns is the only member of the Dempsey camp said to know its location.
 Dempsey awoke today with an air of confidence. When querried as to how long he was going to let Carpen- tier stay in the ring. the champion waved his quizzers toward the ex- perts-
 At the champions camp it was stated he would only do the lightest sort of work today. simply to loosen up his muscles.
 All was hustle and hustle inside the champions house from breakfast time. Trunks were already packed for the departure and hundreds of of good luck. Dempsey's three Bel gan police dogs. which have been with him during the training period, were taken to Jersey City this morn ing by Bernard Dempsey, the cham pion'S brother, who motored with them in the champions limousine. Carpenter Eases Up.
 Manhasset, July 1-Only light ex- ercise was on the work program of Georges Carpenter today, and to keep his mind off tomorrow's battle, Trainer Wilson prescribed phono- graph m1Bic, a walk through the woods and a long automobile ride. The camp was besieged by an army of last minute wel-wishers but they met stout resistance at the gate in a squad of county policemen and camp attaches, and were turned away.
 This, of all days, Trainer Wilson said, was to be a day of peace for the challenger and he was not to be bothered even by personal friends.
 All members of the a camp were busy getting things in order for the morrow. Everybody was champins at the bit in their impatience but there was only a slight display o1 real nervousness. This was on the part of Manager Descamps, who ap- peared to be up in the air" because of number of telephone calls. He said that he had been asked all the foolish questions imaginable. Some fellow who said he was going to bet on Carpenter wanted to talk to the challenger himself and ask his
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1921-07-01

advice A woman thought Des- camps rude because he refused an invitation for the challenger to at tend an ice cream social tonight.
 Although he declined to say what plans had been made for after the fight, Descamps intimated that the camp here would be retained. Train CT Wilson will be placed in charge and will condition Charles Ledoux, the French Sbantamweight champion, and Paul Journee, the big French heavyweight. It is also probable that Marcel Denys, the French lightweight, will train here under the supervision l. of Wilson. Should Georges win his fight with Dempsey, it is almost cer- tain that he will come to this coun- try later and make Manhasset his headquarters, if only temporarily.
