Sim FGinefs Are TOBsRsIeasGdT Today
All Members of the Irish Re- publican Parliament, Ex- cept John J. McKeown, Are To Be Freed.

Dublin, Aug. 7- (By the A. P.)-All the Sim Fein members of the Irish Re public parliament now in prison will have been released by tomorrow, except John J. McKeown, who is under conviction for having murdered District Inspector Mo Grath.
 Though toe opening of the parliament is some time off the immediate release of the prisoners has been decided as. nec- essary of afford them o3ortunity to con- fer with their colleagues.
 The general impression express q by the newspapers is that the governments action in freeing the prisoners has been marred by making an exception in the case of McKeown. The killing for which he was convicted was the shooting of District Inspector MeGrath during fight in which the inspector tired to shoot him. McKeown' also was the organizer \ F several ambuscades in county Longford, in which members of the crown forces were blown up by mines. At his trial several British officers testified in be- half of McKeown, saying that they had received good treatment while held capt i've by him. The sentence of death has not received the confirma tion of the com mander-in-chief
 McKeown was the commander of the Irish republican army in his district and his acts were endorsed by his chiefs Hence his detention in prison while others are permitted their freedom is regarded by the newspapers as indefensible All the men are to be released uncondition- ally. No paroles have been asked for ol given

ATTACK ON HOUSE WAYS
 AND MEANS COMMITTEE


 Washington, Aug. 7--An attack on the adninistration generally and on the house ways and means committee particularly Nor it's handing of the tariff and tax questions is made in statement issued today by Representative Keller, Jnde- pendent Republican, of St. Paul Minn.. author of four tax revision bills which have been endorsed by organizations of farmers and others.
 He charges that the machinery of government has been communicated by a little clique, Ignorant of the A. B. C's of economies whose blind obedience to Wall street is responsible for the stupid. selfish, shortsighted policy that is re- tarding our prosperity and creating pro- found distrust and discontent among the people.
 Declaring that most members of the house want to carry out the people S wishes with regard to taxation and other economic questions. he says, "A little dominant minority has tied down tha safety. valve of free discussion until an eN5losion impends which will scatter the republican partly from Maine to Caifor- mia"
 Ire president has assumed more :, power than any of his prececessors." MT |, Keller continues "and tells congress what | bills to pass and what not to pass. Bills ! conceived at secret conference are intro duced without being referred to Srespons- ible committee. The presidents advisors seem to think it possible for this country to lift itself by Its economic bootstrap; and vaguely promise that a half billior dollar gift to the railrosds--whieh iT some mysterious manner is not to in crease. taxes-will restore prosperity Hey would do better to busy themselve. with lowering rates, taking eff the trans portVtion tax. and seeing to 1t that tn, railroads are run efficiently with min imum of waste. But that is not likely so long as railroad executives can de pend upon administration for lavisl gifts"
