UPWARD MOVEMENT
FOREIGN EXCHANGE
Recent Speculative Selling Moves
Sterling Exchange Up
IL 3-8 Cents.
(ey The Associated Fress)

NEW YORK. Aug. S--An upturn of
unusual proportions in sterling ex-
change today carried the quotation to
s3.71 1-2, an advance Of IL S-8 cents.
The rise was generally attributed
to recent speculative selling in antici-
patton of increased offerings of COM
mercial bills against exports of cotton,
grain and foodstuffs. The shorts, ap-
parentlys having oversold the market,
were caught unprepared when the quo
tation opened up about cents, and
hasty covering caused buoyant up
turn which continued throughout the
day Last prices were within a frac-
ton Of the top.
Other exchanges moved up in sym
pathy with sterling. Rates on Holland,
Sweden, Denmark, France, Belgium,
Italy and Spain rose 20 to 30 points.

RECON- MENDATIONS
TO COUNTY BOARD
Suggests That Tax Levy in the
Budget Be Made to Take

AS SOON AS POSSIBLE
Committee From Commission to
Work With Board to Sc
cure Federal Aid.

That the county commissioners
provide in their budget of the fiscal
year ending October 1, 1922, for a tax
and sinking fund charges on $4,000 ,00o
of road bonds was recommended by
the Joint Good Roads Commission at
the meeting held yesterday afternoon
in the chamber of commerce rooms by
receiving and adopting the report OF
the special committee appointed to
outline road building program for
Escambia county.
In arriving at its decision the COM
nlittee took into consideration that
the future development mad prosperity
of the entire county largely depended
the earliest possible moment, together
with the fact that money to match
federal aid in the road building pro-
gram in hand would give greater as
surance of such aid when federal
money was available.
Inasmuch as the county commits
sioners are the final arbiters in the
matter of issuing the paving bonds,
and the recommendations were to be
made to them, the members of the
board asked to be excused from partic-
ipation in the meeting, although they
were members of the commission. This
request was granted.

LAST OF IRISH PARLIAMENT
MEMBERS IN BRITISH PRISON
rs ORDERED TO BE RELEASED
Break in Further Peace Negotiations Brit
ish Government and Sim Fein in Ireland Bridged
With Release of John ]. McKeown.

Dublin dispatches quoted Mr.. De-
Valera as saying he did not believe
the exception made in OBTAINING Nc
Keown represented the considered ac-
ton of the republican cabinet, but
that it was due to the action of gov
ernmental subordinates in Ireland
who were proceeding under technical
tiles. He also is said to have announc-
ed that he would not continue peace
negotiations with the British govern
ment If the government persisted in
holding McKeown in prison. Shortly
afterwards word came from Paris that
it had been decided to set McKeown
free.
In London the incident is considered
a victory for the Sim Fein. The gem
eral belief is, however, that the Dub
lin castle officials acted without con-
sulting the London government when
they issued their notice that Nc
Keown could not be released and that
the London government in the interest
of peace overruled them.

GOVERNOR WILL NOT
SUBMIT TO ARREST
Action Would Place Executive
Department Subject to

(Ry The Associated Press)

SPRINGFIELD, ILLS, Aug. s.
Sheriff Mesler and District Attorney
Mortimer late today decided that no
attempts would be made tonight to ar
rest Governor Len Small, following a
conference between the sheriff and the
state executive at the 1atter's offices.
The sheriff did not take to the gov
ernment office the three warrants
charging the governor with embezzle-
ment of state funds while he was State
Treasurer.
Determination to continue to resist
arrest was reiterated to the sheriff,
who said his visit was made to obtain
statement from the governor as to
his position. The sheriff said that
Governor Small had threatened to take
action against him and his bondsmen
If attempts We're made to serve the
warrants.
'T told him." the sheriff said, that
I intended to serve the warrants and
that If he did not come to arrange his
bonds that I would have to bring him
In"
The governor in a statement issued
following the sheriffs call, said:
my legal advisers have convinced
me that 1t is my duty under the con-
stitution and my oath of office to de-
cline to submit myself to the jurisdic-
tion of the judicial department during
my term; that the public welfare as
well as the constitution and the law
demand that the man who is governor
shall be free from Interference with
his personal liberty while he is gov
ernor.
''To submit myself to the courts
would mean to make the executive de-
partment of the government subject to
the judicial department. which would
be a direct violation of the constitu-
tion.
ST must, therefore. in obedience to
my oath of office, decline to submit
myself to the Jurisdiction of the ju-
diciaI branch of the state government
during my term as governor"

LONDON, Aug. 8.-The threatened
break in further peace negotiations
between the British government and
the Sim Fein in Ireland was bridged
today through the release from prison
of John j. McKeown, by order of Da-
vid Lloyd George. the British premier,
on representations from Eamonn De-
Valera. the Irish republican leader.
McKeown was in prison under con-
viction of the murder of Chief Inspec-
tor McGrath. All the other members of
the Sim Fein parliament under deten-
ton had been released, but the au-
thorities of Dublin castle had re-
fused to set McKeown free. This fact
had deeply stirred the Irish people,
who claimed that McKeown should be
accorded the same immunity as had
been granted the other republicans.
A special courier sent by the Irish
republican cabinet today delivered to
Mr.. Lloyd George in Paris, where he is
attending the supreme council, mes
sage on the situation.

3-That there must be embodied in
said budget, provision for a tax levy
sufficient to cover interest and sink
ing fund obligations in such proper
tion of the authorized s2,0O0,0o0 Road
Development during the ensuing year

4-That there appeared to be a more
or less defined opinion in Pensacola
and the county that certain tentative
pledges made during the period of the

900 of said bonds by January 1,
