COTTON SCHEDULES
IN TARIFF BILL ARE
PROTESTED AGAINST
tBy The Associated rrcss.)

Washington, Dec. S.--Serious in
jury to the cotton textile industry
in New England would result from
enactment of the cotton goods
schedules in the Fordney tariff bill
former Senator H. f. Lippitt. Of
Providence, r. l., declared today
before the senate finance commit
tee. He described the schedules as
approved by the house as the most
Revolutionary" put forward under
"a protective policy since the sign
ing of the first tariff bill in 1864.
Both Mr.. Lippitt, who spoke for
the New England manufacturers,
and A. II. Lowe, Of Fitchburg,
Mass, who spoke for associations
of cotton goods manufacturers, de-
clared that the schedules failed to
take care of the fine, fancy, figure
woven goods turned out in the New
England mills at a much higher
cost than the ordinary cotton
goods.
Mr.. Lippitt brought for inspection
Of the committeeman numerous
samples of fancy goods. Urging a
40 per cent protection for these
goods as against the present aver
age of twenty-five, he said:
"Poker chips get a 40 per cent
protection. / think the cotton in
dustry is equally entitled to that
much protection"

DE NALERA'S ACTION
WAS NOT UNEXPECTED

London, Dec. 8 (by the Associat-
ed Press. -Eamonn de Valera S
action in opposing the treaty be-
tween Great Britain and Ireland
was not entirely unexpected, the
conclusion having been drawn be-
cause of his silence. that the terms
did not meet his wishes or, in his
opinion, the aspirations of that
section of Ireland which he rep
resents.
Several meetings of the dali
eireann cabinet were held in Dub
lin today, and while no official
statement was given out it was
early hinted that a division OF
views had occurred among the sim
fein ministers. Mr.. de Valera
makes it known that in his oppo-
sition to the settlement he has the
support of at least two members
of the cabinet, the minister of
home affairs, and the minister of
defense, Austin Stack and Charles
Burgess.
On the other hand, Arthur Grit-
fifth, founder of the sim fein and
minister of foreign affairs; Michael
Collins, the finance minister; Rob-
ert c.. Barton, minister of econo-
mics, and George Gavan Duffy
and Eamon J. Duggan, have
already affixed their signatures to
the treaty as plenipotentiaries. NJ.
de Valera has summoned the dali
eireann to n>eet next Wednesday.
1t is on that day that the imperial
parliament would be opened here.

IRISH SETTLEMENT
WILL HAVE POWERFUL
INFLUENCE IN INDIA
(By The Associated Prosa

Washington, Dec. S.-Settlement
of the Irish question will have a
powerful influence on the situa-
ton in India, a spokesman for the
latter country. who is here in cor
nection with the arms conference
said today. This influence might
be for good in the long run, he
said, but for the present, it might
be felt that England was accord
ing to Ireland what 1t denied In
dia.
The nationalist movement in In
dia doubtless will receive consid-
cradle impulse from the settlement
of the Irish question, he said.
Regarding the Anglo-Japanese
alliance he declared, India's prin-
cipal concern was in the removal
of the provision that England
might call on Japan for aid in
case of trouble in India.

DEPUTY WARDEN
SHOOTS CONVICT
THROUGH THIGH
Pat Dugan and Guards
ThWart Attempted Gen.
eraI Escape at the State
Penitentiary at Santa Fe.

Santa Fe, Dec. S.--Emil Parry,
a convict, was shot through the
bone of the right thigh by Deputy
Warden Pat Dugan before an at
tempted general escape at the state
ponitentiary was averted about 10
o'clock last night, just before the
change of guard shifts. Dugan
picked off his man with a rifle
from q window, standing on q lad
der placed against the outside wall
Jack O'Brlcn, serving time for
a pool hall robbery, was the insti-
gator of the attempted jailbreak
He and Barry overpowered Toribio
Sanchez, cell house keeper, steal
ing upon him as he stood at n
desk in the corner Of the corridor,
O'Brien attacking him with an
iron bar which he had obtained in
some unknown manner. Sanchez
let out yell before he went down
and made game fight to keep the
keys which he carried. Warden
Jaramillo, Deputy Dugan and
guards answered the alarm. Parry
ran and concealed himself in the
cell house and when Dugan got
the drop on him from the window
refused the command to tell
O'Brien to release the guard. Du-
gan deliberately sent a bullet
through Barrys leg. upon which
he yelled "for Gods sake turn him
loose" and O'Bricn, seeing the
game was up, did so. 1t was
planned to get the keys from San
chez, overpower the new guard and
open all the cells in the cell house.
Sanchez was not badly hurt.
Cell house No. 1. where the at
tempt occurred, houses over a hun
dred desperate prisoners, including
some under death sentence and
others held for safe keeping pend
ing trial. James Foster, charged
with the murder of John Ervie'l
at Gallup last week, is among the
latter. Had they escaped from
their cells bloody battle with the
guards along the prison wall would
have followed. How the ring lead
crs got out Of their cells is a mys-
terry.
Parry, given n ten to twenty year
sentence for jail breaking, escaped
last February and was shot in the
arm when recaptured by a police
man in FL PasO, Tex, who arrest
cd him on a charge of robbery
with firearms and assault with in
tent to murder. He was returned
to finish his term.

Chicago, Dec. S.---Fresh disorders

mob Of approximately 500 persons
formed near one of the packing

lice to disperse 1t by charging back
and forth only resulted in 4 series
of fights, during which, according

A crowd Of approximately 1000
strikers gathered at the Armour
Glue company plant and showered
the workers with bricks, sones and
sticks as they came from work.
Especial details Of police were rush

mob without serious injuries to the
linen on either side. At another
point in the packing house district,
$50 women armed with sticks were
reported to be attacking workers
as they came from the plants.
1t was reported that one striker
was shot by the police during the
disorders, which broke out stimuli

They have received SO far 64.5l

they'll probably get another appor-
tionment, but not the full amounts
owed them, stated Roy w. Foard,
supervisor of vocational agriculture,
who is getting up the bureaus re-
port for the year.
The federal part of the fund, he
said, has been used up and practi-
cally all the states appropriation
to the fund has been paid out put
not all on account of the hardness
of tax collections.
Foard said claims were to be
made for $4,000 in the report to

but even then ne didn't think the

.LIFE: INSURANCE:
BUSINESS SHOWS
HEAL THY GROWTH
Amount Written This Year
viii Exceed That Of Any
Single Year, Except
1920, Reports Reveal.

New York, Dec. S.-Reports to
the fifteenth annual convention of
1.-THE Association of Life Insurance
Presidents here today were said to
indicate that the new insurance
issued in the United States in 1921
will amount to 13,150,000 separate
policies for $3.50, 100000. This
will mark a decrease of three
quarters of one per cent in the
number of policies compared with
last year, the most prosperous in
| life insurance history. The amount
of new insurance thus would be IS
lper cent less than th@t OF last year
and 2.6 per cent ahead of that of
1913.
Statistics were presented by John
NJ. Holcomhe, president of the
Phoenix Mutual Life Insurance
company, of Hartford, Conn, who
said that the 1921 record in new
life insurance marks progress
rather than retrogressiOn, and is
an encouraging index of returning
normal business conditions.
! Returns have been furnished
by 14S Of the 272 life insurance
companies doing business in the
United States" said Mr.. Holcombe,
"These 14S companies wrote 81 per
cent of the new business Of 1920.
Their 1921 returns are based on the
.actual amount of new business paid
for up to November ] of this year,
plus an estimate for the remaining
two months. In 1920, the number
of new policies issued was 13,24S,-
900, insuring S10,105, 900, 900.
"Twenty years ago, in 1901,
American life insurance companies
wrote $4,000, 100000 of new insur-
ance. A decade later, in 1911, the
amount Of new insurance was S2,-
S70,000,000, an increase of a little
more than one-third. In 1921,
therefore, the issue will be almost
three times that of 1911. In the
years 1919 and 1920, the issues
were much greater than ever be-
fore. Money was plentiful and the
results of the war and the epidemic
of influenza had impressed upon
the people the need of life insur-
ance. In 1921, however, the busi-
ness has been affected by trade
conditions, strikes, loss of employ
mont and general retrenchment.
this, the amount
OF life insurance this year will eX-
coed that of any single year, with
the exception OF 1920.
Cup to 1919, new life insurance
each year, on the average, increased
about 10 per cent. This covered a
period of about twenty,years. One
year the increase was as high as
IS per cent. Another year 1t was as
low as four per cent. Then, in 1919.
came the unparalleled increase OF
62 per, cent over the new business
Of 1918. Therefore, that the aegre-
gate amount of new life insurance
in 1921 is less than that issued in
1920, is cause neither for surprise
nor disappointment. In moral po-
tentialitv. considering the condi-
tions under which the 1921 new in
was bought by the Ameri-
can peonle, the results mark prog |
ress rather than retrogrcssion."
