IRISH PARLEY
BROKE DOWN
Negotiations For Peace
Have Come to Con-
clusion
NO IMMEDIATE
WARFARE EXPECTED.
Dali Cabinet Rejected Brit
ish Government
Proposals

London, Dec. (By the Associated
Press) The Irish peace negotiations
have broken down, according to state
ments in responsible quarters to-day,
and theDail Eireann delegates are ex-
pected to return finally to Ireland on
Tuesday or Wednesday.
The correspondence in connection
with the negotiations win be made
public by the government, it was
stated, and Prime Minister Lloyd
Gc6rgc il expected to make an explain
atory statement.
On the governments side it was in
dicated the argument viii be that the
refusal of the Sim Fein to accept all
legiance to the king made an agree
ment impossible. since that condition
was insisted upon by the British and
was, in addition, an essential prelimi-
nary to securing any assent from VI.
ster.
The truce still remains in effect. and
no immediate resumption OF hostilities
is looked for.

the most i. offered being TO ''recog-
iiize" the king as head of the common
wealth Of free nations.
The closest examination of the gov
ernment's latest terms satisfied the
Sinn Fein delegates and the Dali Eir
eann cabinet, ii i asserted, that they
contained no advance on the terms Of
Pfemivr i2lay<l Georges original Iet-
ter, which was formally rejected In
July bv Eamon De Valera in his speech
to the Dali parliament Two months
of negotiations with Downing street
had not got the Irish any further, il
was argued, and according to well-in
formed quarters. some Of the delegates
were opposed even TO the consideration
of the new proposals by the Dali cabi-
net last Saturday. these delegates be-
ing satisfied that acceptance by the
would not be endorsed by
the Sim Fein in Ireland.
IT did not take the Dali cabinet long
to decide the issue, 1t appears. After
a short discussion In (which all the cab |
met members read the governments |
Mr.. De Valera turned to the |
delegates and said:
"These are your instructions; they |
are the instructions Of the people OF |
ireland"
The truce continues to exist until l
notice of its termination is formally 1
given. and both the government and
the Sim Fein say they have no inten
Jon Of giving that notice. Neverthe-
ess both sides feel, 1t declared, that
he course of events win be bound TO
involve renewal Of hostilities.
The Sim Fein delegates visited
Downing street at 3 o'clock this after
loon. 1t is understood they conferred

KILLED BY MAN
WHOSE ESCAPE HE
MADE POSSIBLE
Arkansas Desperate Slain by
FeLL0U Fugitive as Of
fcerS Pursue.

LITTLE ROCK. Ark, Dec. 10.-While
strong posses secured the woods north
OF Benton, Saline County, for Jack Buster
Willis Cannon and Charles Jones, negro
convicts who accompanied Tom Slaughter,
notorious desperate, in his dash for lib
erty, Warden E. II. Dempsey was con-
Quoting an investigation to ascertain how
Slaughter obtained the pistol with which
he engineered mis- escape.
Slaughter is deed. shot by his fellow
fugitive. ]. C. Howard. a white man
serving a three year sentence for for
gerry. He declared he shot Slaughter
when the desperate announced his inten-
ton Of shooting the five negroes who had
accompanied him.
Warden Dempsey is inclined to doubt
Towards motives in shooting Slaughter.
1.-THE posse was hot on their heels and
maybe he wanted to cover himself said
the warden.
According to Towards story, the fugi-
tives abandoned their automobile, stolen
from the wardens garage. about fifteen
miles north of Benton, and took to the
woods. All day long they marched In
single file under the eye Of Slaughter,
who, distrustful of his companions
marched in the rear. his shotgun in
readiness At nightfall, though hard
pressed by posses. they built q fire and
rested. It was then Slaughter was shot
by Howard.
Authorities here expect the three con-
victs still ut large will be recaptured
soon. Jones was shot and seriously
wounded in an exchange of shots with a
posse.
