DE VALERA AWAITS
ULSTER'S REPLY
Willing to Accept Governments
Proposal Providing Ulster
Will Give and Take
tsy The. Associated Press)

LONDON. Aug. IA dispatch from
Dublin to the Press Association con-
firms the statement made in Dublin
today that the delay in the Sim Fein
reply to the British government on
the Irish peace proposals is due to
the fact that an attempt is being made
to secure the adhesion of Ulster to
the peace plan.
The dispatch expressed the belief
that provided Ulster was disposed to
adopt an attitude of give and take,
the Sim Fein would be willing to
accept the governments proposals.
The attitude of Sir James Craig, the
Ulster premier, says the Press Associa-
ton, appears to be that he is prepared
to enter the conference in London. but
that until such a conference is arr
ranged he is not called up on TO par
ticipate in the. present deliberations.
On the other hand Eamonn DeValera
is disinclined to summon the Dali
Eireann until he is in position to
submit both the governments propos-
ais and listers attitude to It. This
may entail long delay and Mr.. DeVa-
lera's reply may be postponed for a
few weeks.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 3.-The right of

London, officials of the shipping board

The shipping board had not received to-
day a report on the progress of the
London conference but it was informed
that code message on the subject was
being sent through the state department.
The Egyptian cotton case IS the first
international shipping problem to come
before the new shipping board The con-

VIRGINIA MOB HANGS NEGRO TO TREE
SUSPECTED OF KILLING POSTMASTER

Virginia's first lynching in years was
recorded shortly after midnight this
morning in Brunswick county when mob
of nearly 1000 Dinwiddie and Brunswick
county citizens took one of the negroes
charged with the murder of Tingley FL
more, postmaster and storekeeper at To-
baceo, Va. from Deputy Sheriff James
Seago. of Brunswick county. between Nc
Kinney and LawrencevilIe and hanged
him to tree at the scene of the muir
der.
The negro confessed his guilt to the
murder before going to his death. His
identity had not been learned early to-
today. The life of VIII EImore. another
negro. held for the murder was spared by
the pleas Of Deputy Seago.
Deeming it unwise to keep one of the
negroes, VIII Elmore, in the Petersburg
jail tonight, officers have left the city
with the prisoner bound for Richmond
and acting under instructions from the
governors office. the entire Petersburg
police force was ordered to go on duty
to guard the jail here.

ALL ITALY MOURNS
AT CARUSO'S DEATH
Services Will Be Held i'm the Bas-
ilica of the Church of San
Francisco di Paola.

NAPLES, Italy, Aug. 3.-An day

room where he died, for at the last mo-
ment it was decided that the burial

BY special permission of King Victor
Emmanuel, services viii be held in the
basilica of the Church of San Fran
cesco di Paola, a famous edifice re-
sembling the Pantheon at Rome, and
constructed by Ferdinand T., in 1917.
After this ceremony the. body will
be- taken to the cemetery and placed
in the family vault. The mayor and
prefect of Naples will speak In behalf
of the city and government respective
| ", and it is probable that the Aneri-
can consul viii deliver brief address
in behalf of the American government
and the city of New York, which Car
uso called his second home.
Naples is in truth a city of mourn
ing and from all parts of Italy have
come expressions of grief, many of
them of tender nature, bscause of
late years Caruso had by tbs mastery
of his art and the kindness of his heart
found his way into the warm affec-
tions Of the people. Of the thousands
who passed his bier today there was
none whose personal grief was not
apparent.
One of the most touching scenes oc-
Cured which the godmother of the
singer. Signoria Maria Castaidi, came
to the hotel to inquire how Caruso
was faring. She was met at the en-
trance by Giolio Staffelh, the impress
~sario, who informed her of Caruso's
death. The aged woman was overcome
with grief; then entered the Chapelle
Ardente and knelt beside the body
and prayed.

Measure Favored by Administra-
ton as Substitute for the
Norris Bill.
AMENDMENTS ADOPTED
AFTER A HARD FIGHT
Senator Norris Is Praised for
His Part in Initiating
the Legislation.
(Ry The Associated Press,

WASHINGTON, Aug 3.-Disposition
of amendments to the agricultural
credits bill was begun by the senate
today. but vote on passage of the
measure, which is favored by the ad-
ministration as substitute for the or
iginal Norris bill, went over.
Two of a score of pending amend
ments We're adopted after hard fight.
One, offered by Senator Smith, demo
crat, South Carolina, would authorize
loans by the war finance corporation
to associations Of agricultural pro-
ducers, and the other offered by SEN
ator Harrison. democrat, Mississippi,
would authorize the corporation to
take up s10o,ooO,O0o in bonds of the
federal farm loan system.
The Smith amendment was contested
hotly. Senators Harrison and Will
liams, both democrats, of Mississippi,
LaFollette, republican, wisconsin, and
Ashurst, democrat, Arizona, led the
opposition and fought for direct loans
to individual producers. The amend
ment was adopted, 43 to p, with party
lines divided

cans, Wisconsin,: Smoot, republican,
Utah; and Simmons, democrat, North
Carolina, championed the Smith
amendment. Indivi6saal loans. ta all of

declared, would break down the pro-
posed legislation. Senator Smoot said
individual loans would require the war
finance corporation to have 10000
employees for investigation. The direct
individual loan plan was impractical
BILE, unworkable and preposterous, was
asserted by Senator Simmons. Sena-
tor Lenroot said that the original Nor
ris bill did not contemplate direct
loans to individual farmers.
That the amendment would "get the
farmer out Of the bill altogether" was
asserted by Senator LaFollette. who
to parasites who prey on the farm
ers." Bank and trust companies would
be the principal beneficiaries, he add
ed. Senator Ashurst said that farmers
would be 'torpedoed" and relief given
mainly to banks gorged with i'm
provident loans
The Harrison amendment was adopt
ed without record vote or particular
opposition. Senator Harrison said the
farm loan board had applications for
loans aggregating s150,000.000 and on
ly $15,o00,000 available for them, due
to inability to market bonds.
Senator Norris part in initiating the
legislation was praised by several sem
ators during the debate. Senator Ken
yon, republican, Iowa, said he had
started the agricultural legislation and
worked while other senator's were pur-
suing the festive golf ball; Senator
Ashurst and Senator Heflin, demo-
crat, of Alabama, also praised Mr..
Norris, who is on a sick bed after a
collapse during the fight for the legis-
lation.
