Parliament of
Britain Warned
OF Irish Break
Lloyd George Says He Cannot
Conceal Possibility of Grim
Announcement It's I'm.
possible to Settle.

London Oct. 3l.-(By The Asso-
ciated Press.)-Possible legislation
to put the Ulster Parliament in a
better position was indicated by
Prime Minister Lloyd George today
in the House of Commons in answer
ing critics in the debate on the
unionist motion intended as a cen
sure of the governments Irish
policy.
The premier said the position Of
the Ulster Parliament was intoler-
able and unless something happened
in the next few days to put the po-
sit;on right under the government of
Ireland act. a short bill would be in
troduced to remedy the position.
Il cannot conceal from the
house." said the premier in alluding
to the effort at all Irish settlement,
"the possibility that l may have to
make the grim announcement that.
it is impossible to settle without
danger and dishonor.'
He said that if the conference
broke down the first thing the
government would have to do would
be to ask the house considerably to
strengthen the forces of the crown.
Mr.. Lloyd George said he had re-
ceived guarantees that no arms
would be imported into ireland.
Debate in the Commons on the
Irish question. particularly the TN
ionist motion intended as censure
OF the government, excited keen in-
terest throughout Great Britain to-
day. Evidence of this interest was
found in the fact it was impossible to
satisfy more than fraction of the
demands for seats in the restricted
public galleries, hundreds of apple
ants being disappointed. The unionist
resolution, which was presented by
Col. John Gretton, follows:
That this house views with grave
apprehension the action of the gov
crnment in entering upon negotia-
tons with delegates from southern
ireland who have taken the oath of
allegiance to the Irish republic and
have repudiated the authority Of the
crown.
"And in view of the fact that an
act of parliament for the settlement
of the relations between Great Brit
ain and Ireland was passed as recent
ly as last year, this house is of the
opinion that no proposals for the
government of southern Ireland
should be made without the sanction
of parliament"
The prime minister assured the
House that no agreement was pos
sible without the sanction Of the
imperial Parliament.

Democrats Play
Politics Trying
To Revive Bonus
Entire Senate Session Devoted
To Reed Amendment to
Use Excess Profits Tax to
Compensate Yanks.
BY ARTHUR SEARS HENNING,
Chicago Tribune Omaha Bee Leased Wire.

ny AN II - n OCANS 11cNNAN1,
Chicago Tribune Omaha Bee Leased Wire.
Washington, Oct. 3l.-With an
eye on the convention of the Ameri-
can Legion at Kansas City, demo-
cratic senators, whose party in 1920
opposed cash compensation, clam
ored vigorously today for the adop-
ton of a soldier bonus amendment
to the pending tax bill.
Almost the entire afternoon ses-
sion was given over to debate on
the Reed amendment proposing to
retain the excess profit tax and use
the proceeds tp pay the world war
veterans bonus. 1t is generally
believed that the amendment will be
tabled, but if it is, the democrats
have still another proposal Of the
same nature to lay before the senate
They are hold. g in reserve a sec
ond amendment that will call for the
collection of interest on the foreign
loans and the use of the proceeds
to defray the cost of bonus. Re-
publican leaders are planning to table
this also, although some of their fol-
lowers are worried over the effect
such action may have on next years
congressional elections.
New Starts Debate.
Senator New of Indiana, republi-
can, precipitated the discussion OF
the soldier bonus by asserting that
the Reed amendment was unconsti-
tutional. He contended that it pro-
posed to tax special class for the
benefit of another class.
Senator Reed challenged him to
name the section of the constitution
which the amendment violated. SEN
ator New said he, would be unable 10
do SO without copy OF the constitu-
ton before him. Senator Reed
promptly laid copy of the consti-
tuition on Senator News desk. The
Indiana senator insisted that the
amendment violated the spirit of the
constitution.
'The republicans" said Senator
Penrose, "are determined to table
the Reed amendment because the
soldier bonus legislation has no more
place in the tax bill than the bill to
fund the foreign indebtedness of this
country"
Reed Scores Mellon.
Referring to Secretary of the
Treasury Mellon as one of the
wealthiest men in the government
and pointing out his connection with
large business enterprises, Senator
Reed quoted from Mr.. Melons let
ter in which he counseled against
enactment of soldiers bonus legis-
lation on the ground that it would
further depress the market for gov
ernment securities.
big business" said Senator
Reed, did not want the soldiers
bonus and of course the secretary of
the treasury could not be expected
to favor it if big business did not
want it."
President Harding" said Senator
Stanlsy of Kentucky, "was the un-
dertaker for the soldiers bonus and
the republican senator's and pall-
bearers. 1t will never come to life
again until the angel Gabriel blows
his horn in the car of big business"
. Our failure to enact a soldiers
bonus bill is a perfidious and inde-
fensible desertion of those to whom
we owe a debt of gratitude"

 is alleged, two of Bowers pals were
 in waiting, when the three men over powered Stewart, wrested the sack of gold, containing $2,670, from his hands and disappeared from sight around the adjoining building, leaving the returned klondiker as poor as when he started for the land of gold and hardships nearly year before. As soon as the news of the bold and daring broad daylight robbery became circulated about the city there was fire of indignation. Peo. pie were inexpressibly surprised and shocked that such a fragrant outrage should have been committed in the city. Business men quietly discussed the situation, and feeling assured that it was Smiths men who did the job, many of the best and most influential of our citizens went quietly to the leader and informed him that the gold must be returned, and that he and his gang must shake the dust of Skagway from their feet.
 During the earlier part of the ex. citement Smith partially promised several men, including the writer that, in case there was no roar made in the papers, the gold would be returned by o'clock last evening, and that his influence would be used to prevent his men from ill any way interfering with returning Klondikers in the future.
 The promise was not kept, how. ever, nor was the gold returned. On the contrary, Smith began to drink heavily and talk in a rash, defiant manner. When told by a News rep. resentative that unless the gold was returned there would be trouble last night, Smith replied: By #-*- trouble is what l am looking for" He got it iu a way he least expected
