IRISH ALLEGIANCE ISSUE
Truce Still in Effect--No I'M
mediate HoStilities Are
Looked for

LONDON, Dec. 5.-(By The AS
sociated Press)-The Irish peace ne
gotiations have broken down. ac-
cording TO statements in responsible
quarters today ami the Dali Eireann
delegates are expected to return fin
ally to Ireland Tuesday or Wednes-
day.
TIE correspondence in connection
with the negotiations will be made
public by the government. it was
stated. and Premier Lloyd George
is expected to make an explanatory
statement.
On the governments side it was
indicated the argument will be that
the refusal of the Sim Fein to ac-
cept allegiance to the king made an
agreement impossible, since that
condition was insisted upon by the
British and was in addition an es-
sential preliminary to securing any
assent from Ulster.
The truce still remains in effect
and no immediate resumption OF
hostilities is looked for. The Sim
Fein, it is declared. refused even a
conditional promise of allegiance
contingent upon a settlement, the
most it offered being to recognize
the king as head of the common
wealth of free nations"
The closest xamination of the
governments latest terms, satisfied
the Sim Fein delegates and the
Dali Aireann that they contained
no advance on the terms of Prime
Minister Lloyd Georges original
letter which was formally rejected
in July by Eamon de Volera in his
speech to the parliament. Two
months of negotiations with Down
ing street had not got the Irish
any farther it was argued, and ac-
cording to well informed quarters.
some of the delegates opposed even
the consideration of new proposals
by the Dali cabinet last Saturday,
thess delegates being satisfied that
acceptance by negotiators would not
be endorsed by the Sim Fem.
1t did not take the Dali cabinet
long to decide that issue, it appears.
After n short discussion in which
all the cabii.st members rejected
the governments proposals, Mr.. de
Valera turned to the delegates and
said:
''These are your instructions.
They are instruction of the people
OF Ireland"
The Sim Fein delegates visited
Downing street at 3 o'clock. 1t is
understood they conferred with the
government representatives concern
ing the question of continuing the
truce.

Man Endeavors to Reprimand
Recorder Claims He Was
Given No Medical Attention

The unusual spectacle of a pris-
oner attempting to reprimand the
recorder instead OF receiving a re-
buke from the court was observed
In the police court this morning
when Paul Neuberger of "a Fayette
street Indignantly protested because
he was held in Jail without medical
attention. Whed 4 fine of $25 was
imposed upon him as the result of a
disorderly conduct charge made by
the police the prisoner fired up and
eyed Recorder Pickersgill coldly.
do you realize that 1 have been
held in Jail without medical atten-
tion wher l was suffering from a
broken nose" he inquired
This question ELECTED no reply
from the court further than the
statement that the fine stood and
that Neube,ger was to remain in
custody until payment was forth
coming.
Neuberger's arraignment on the
disorderly conduct charge followed
an alleged brawl occurring Saturday
afternoon on Front street. Full de-
tails concerning the outbreak are not
available but it is said that the pris-
one- was threatened with lynching
by crowd of people who maintain
ed that Neuberger was trying to
beat up" his wife on the street.
A call was received by Lieutenant
Jensen at TIE police station saying
that fight was in progress on
Front street The lieutenant des-
patched Traffic Officer Frank Gun
kel tc the scene of the supposed
lynching party. that officer being i'm
mediately followed by Patrolman
William Peterson and later by Off
GERS John Dunham and William
Buchan in the patrol wagon. A
large crowd was gathered around
the supposed bat:lers and Neuberger
and his wife were removed to the
police station where Mrs. Neuber-
ger refused to make any charge
against her husband. The police
then held the man on the disorderly
conduL. allegation.
In court this morning Neuberger
displayed a nose secured with plaster
and claimed the member was brok-
en-. 1t was said. however. by several
of the police, that the man had made
no mention of his injury when ar
rested. Whether the injury was in
fiiceed by Neuberger's wife or the
crowd of "anti-wife beaters" is also
a mystery.

Vice President Voorhees, of B.
& O., Says Evening News
Protest All He Received
TO COME HERE THIS WEEK
Mayor Wilson Takes up City's
Fight Direct With the
Ferry Company

Mayor William c. Wilson this
morning got in telephone confmuni-
cation with H. b. Voorhees,. vice
president of the Baltimore & Ohio
railroad, and made an appointment
with him TO have him personally
inspect the condition of the ferry
slip and house here some day this
week.
This step is being taken by the
mayor following the unsuccessful
efforts of City Attorney Goldberger
and the Board Of Freeholders TO
get any satisfaction from the rail-
road company.
Mr. Voorhees,, the mayor said, told
him tina. he had not received any
direct word of the dissatisfaction
manifested in Perth Amboy because
of the condition of the landing and
all that ne knew about the mat
ter was what he had seen in the
Perth Amboy Evening News.
Vice President voorhees, told the
mayor he would be pleased to come
to Perth Amboy some day this week
to look over the situation and prom
ised to take the matter into consid-
Grafton in the meantime and hold
consultation with the company's en-
gineers on possible remedies. The
date for the inspection was not def
initely decided upon in the telephone
conversation this morning. Accord
ing to Mayor Wilson, the railroad Of
ficials seemed to feel that something
could be done to remedy conditions
and lessen the danger to passengers
on the boat who must cross the same
gang plank used by the automobiles
in getting on and oft the boat.
The mayors action has been taken
following a fatal accident on the
boat more than month go. An au-
tomohile at that time started before
the boat hal docked. The car crush
ed one woman so that she died short
ly after of injuries and three other
persons were showed overheard by
the automobile while it was run
ming wild.
The situation is acute. the mayor
told Mr.. Voorhees,, and he urged
that some method be devised where
by the passengers will not be forced
to use the same space allotted to the
vehicles. The mayor also had the
superintendent of ferries on the tele-
phone this morning, but he referred
the mayor to Mr.. Voorhees,.

suit of his assailants and encoun-
tered Baber. whom he engaged in
combat, according to Baber.
In his zeal to punish the thrower
of the snowballs Ignacy is charged
by Baber with drawing a knife and
threatening to kill him. In graphing
with the enraged man Baber re-
ceived cuts on the left hand and
shoulder. The knife was driven so
viciously, he claims, that it penetrat-
ed the complainant's overcoat and
cut his arm. Several other scars
appeared on the overcoat worn by
Baber this morning. all of which
were inflicted by Ignacy's knife, ac-
cording to Baber.
Ignacy's defense was that Baber
cut himself by running into the
knife. Patrolman Lester Seaman
