The Sixty-seventh Congress.
fCincinnati Enquirer. )


 The Sixty-seventh Congress literally is meeting in Extraordinary session. Not since the founda- tions of the republic laid has any Congress been brought face face with many grave and interocking problems at present demand mmed- fate legislative consideration.
 The Republican party is in control of the Gov ernment in all of it's branches The fact carries less significance than at any other time in the political history of the nation. Control involves responsibility of course; the people hold their representatives an swerabe for their stewardship but the partisan bond longer what once it meant
 The citizens of America looking to Congress the high tribunal where the vital problems of re- construction and reorganization will be worked out the problems of the worked out during the late Administration, all new, unknown, un- expected complicated problems must be worked out by who devoted duty and loyal to the fullest demands of patriotism. These pressing i'm perative problems with which Congress must deal not party problems. At the head of the list must he considered revision of tariff and taxation laws next railroads and transportation
 But of higher importance than any of these grave economic problems-of more vital than peace or international ationships-should be the definite safeguardng of the American people against further encroachments their personal liberties and the preservation of the constitution from the danger of minatory minorties of whatsoever kind

WASHINGTON, April 22.-Presi-
dent Harding declined to accede to
the request of the German government
to act as mediator with the allies on
the question of reparations, and to fix
the amount the German people are to
pay. At the same time, in replying
to the German appeal, he expressed
conditionally the willingness Of the
American government to act as an in
termediary between Germany and the
Allies in bringing about a resumption
of negotiations for a settlement of the
reparations terms.
II the German government, the pres
ident said, would formulate new pro-
posals constituting proper basis for
discussion, he would consider bringing
the matter to the attention of the
Allies in manner acceptable to them.

out OF which Germany may emerge

PRESIDENT is
NOT JAZZ LOVER

WASHINGTON, April % The
"shimmy" music produced by the
modern Jazz bands with their wailing
saXaphones, acrobatic drummers and
muted cornets may have taken the
country by storm, but it has no ap-
peal to a man here in Washington
whose opinions on many subjects are
earnestly listened to by 5000 900
people.
His opinion on the question of
music is worthy of consideration for
he used to play in a band out in New
Caledonia, Ohio. He is the president
of the United States.
Not for him are the braying from
bone, clashing cymbal and all the
other jazz equipment to which Amer
lea today is toddling around in in
Vulnerable dance halls Rather the
graceful strains of the Blue
Danube" or the Merry Widow
Waltz"
Investigation discloses that Presi-
dent Harding never has been able to
regulate his musical sense with the
synocopation of modern jazz. He
likes good music. His favorite operas
are "Erminie," "Robin Hood" 'The
Bohemian Girl" and others of the
type that were so popular a decade
ago.
He also likes his musical dish
favored now and then with little
of the heavier stuff such as aida,

MARKET BUREAU .
IN DIFFICULTY

WASHINGTON, April %. - The
government, which lately has been
having difficulties in getting money
also occasionally encounters diff
Guilty in getting rid of it. The lat
ter difficulty faces the Agriculture
Departments Bureau of Markets
which is trying to distribute half a
million dollars among wool growers
and distributors.
Under wartime price regulation,
the government bought all the wool
produced in the United States, fixed
the commission to all dealers and
buyers and undertook to see that the
sheepman got the exact amount due
them on their entire flock growth.
In view of the tremendous weight of
wool handled, small mistakes in
weights and estimates accrued dur
ing the two years the system was OPP
Grated, and in the end the audit of
the joint accounts showed that deal
ers had $556,0l3.9S on hand in eX-
cess of their allotted profits and COM
missions. This, it was decided, should
go back to the producers, in accord
ance with the amount of wool they
furnished the government. But it has
proven easier to decide the problem
than to wOr it. ...l
The government to date has dis
tributed SOL ,569,62 to .34,530 WOO
growers east of the Mississippi River
where small sheep flocks are some
what of side line for farmers. Big
producers in the west were easily
accounted for.
The government thus is up against
the job of paying the money out il
amounts ranging from 80 cent up
wards to $5. Also, it has been dis
covered that while 5000 country
buyers took out proper licenses anC
came under regulation, 1869 store

HOW The IRISH
TRAP AND KILL
BRITISH COPS
Sim Fein Commanders ReDOrt
on Recent Ambushes of Their
Ancient Enemies.
(By Associated Press)

LONDON, April 22-Inside stories
of the ambushes laid BY the Irish
Republican Army to trap and kill
squads Of British constables in Ire
land are disclosed in the reports from
Irish brigade commanders which
have just ueen given out at the head
quarters of the Volunteers in Dublin.
Most of these attacks have been re-
ported by the British but the Irish
accounts are now given for the first
time.
They give the details of desperate
fights in which, sometimes, the little
British commands have been dee M
ated and at other times the Irish
have been driven off With severe
losses, for the Irish Volunteers oc-
casionally run into counter trap
and find themselves exposed to the
whitening blast OF a machine gun.
These reports show the methods
employed to carry on the guerrilla
fighting, the hurried calls to as
semble the Irish attackers, efforts
to surprise the British constables in
some isolated spot and tell Of the
use Of mines to block the passage Of
motor car so that the attack can be
delivered with greater execution.
A typical ambush is described in a
report of the commander OF the East
County Glare brigade. Thirty five
men, five acting as scouts, attcak a
police lorry containing district in
spector and nine constables at Glen
wood Belvoir, killing all but four
who escaped. Twenty of the attack
ers, it is stated, were armed with
rifles and ten with double barrelled
shotguns. They were concealed on
on side of road near stream.
"As in a previous ambush" the
commander reports, 'tEe main body
was divided into three parties. The
position which was occupied at 7 a.
M, was not favorable, but we count
ed on the element of surprise and the
concentrated fire of Is of the
rifles and the ten shotguns in the
first volley to make up for short
comings and in this we were success

NATION WIDE
SEARCH FOR
HAYWOOD
ORDERED
Authorities Have Reason to
Believe That Convicted
Radical Is In Hiding to
Start Red Outbreak.
By Associated Press)

CHICAGO, April pa nation
wide investigation OF the headquar-
ters of every radical organization in
the country has been asked by the
Federal authorities of Chicago, in a
search for trace of William d., Big
Bill" Haywood, the general secretary
Of the |. w. W., who was reported yes
terday as having fled to Russia on the
eve Of beginning a 20 year sentence
in the Leavenworth penitentiary.
1t is believed by the authorities
that, despite the circumstantial reports
of Haywood having fled to Russia on
the steamship Oscar IL, sailing from
New York April |, and reports of his
arrival at Riga, that he is still IN this
country, in connection with plans for
4 radical outbreak on May l.
Department Of Justice operatives in
every city in the country, where red
or radical headquarters are maintained
have been ordered to make the closest
Investigation of all localities in these
cities for information or evidence, not
only of Haywood's whereabouts, but
also for anV plans of an outbreak such
as has been reported is to take place.
Rumors that Haywood never would
go to jail have been rife in radical
circles for months, it was learned to-
day. According to radical leaders,
word had been received from Moscow
that Haywood would be welcomed
there.
at is foolish for American radicals
to suffer imprisonment" the message
from Moscow is said to have declared.
"The temper of the American public
and of American labor is such that it
does not pay radical labor leaders to
martyr themselves in the cause. Come
to Russia, where you will be welcome"
Haywood, when questioned by close
friends regarding his intentions, is said
to have subscribed to the sentiment
expressed in the message.
''The attitude of American labor is
too apathetic to merit the leaders
making martyrs of themselves" he
is said to have cOnfded
Haywood's immense bulk, and the
fact that he has but one eye, are ply
steal features that are said to have
made the idea of life in cell repug-
nant to him.

Perennial Bryan and PrOhi-
bitiOn Leaders Start At
tack OH Beer and Wine
Rule With Little Success.

WASHINGTON, April p. - The
"drys" today swung into action for a
finish fight to prevent beer and wine
sales on doctors prescriptions. Con-
grass is their objective. The battle
plans are drawn and are TO be pushed
with all Legislative cunning for which
prohibition victories have been noted.
Under the leadership of William Jen-
nings Bryan, the "drys" were
brought together III a concerted
move to compel an immediate revers-
al of recent opinion of the depart
ment of justice, which threw into the
discard some of the more stringent
rules of the prohibition bureau. The
'"drys" today charged that the OBJ
jectionaae opinion, drafted for the
treasury by former Attorney Gen
eral Palmer before he left office is
the Opening wedge of the vets to
restore the liquor traffic.
Col. Bryan was particularly bitter
today in discussing what he termed
the disastrous results which may fol-
low the Palmer opinion. In his opin-
ion il will transfer drug stores into
wide-open saloons. Vita other pro-
hilton leaders, Mr.. Bryan arranged
to make vigorous drive to "kill'
the Palmer edict, and to balk the is
suance of beer and Wine regulations.
From the treasury came word to-
day that Secretary Of the Teasury
Mellon, with general supervision in
prohibition affairs, will decline to
have review made of the opinion
under attack, but viii proceed with
haste to promulgate the regulations,
placing beer and Wine on the market
for sale to those legally entitled to
buy it..
The "drys" have turned again to
the attorney general, in the hope that
he will voluntarily dig up the Palmer
opinion and reconsider the provisions
in it chiefly under attack.
Resourceful 'dry" may take their
fight to the president and ask him
personally to intervene, it developed
today. They asserted that under the
procedure existing, the president
could instruct the attorney general
to reopen the whole subject.
