London, Nov. 15.-All parties in
Ireland, with. the exception of the ma
tionalists who, however, are now
largely Incorporated with the Sim
Fein, have now had their say in the
negotiations regarding the future of
Ireland.
The southern Unionists who are
opposed to a dual parliament for the
island saw Prime Minister, Lloyd
George today while the, Obstetrics had
before them the governments refusal
of their counter proposals for a set
tlement of the Irish question. 1t was
understood that the governments
reply to Ulster contained no new sug-
gestions or propceals, leaving the
situation appaferAly ideadlocked.
John Miller Andrews, secretary of
labor in the Ulster cabinet, upon his
return to Belfast today made it clear,
in a statement to the press, that the
government proposal to Ulster was
for single parliament for a United
Ireland and that Ulster had replied
that she must have a separate parlia-
nent, a suggestion which neither the
Sim Feiners nor the southern Union
SITS would agree to.
Protest meetings will be held in
Ulster tomorrow against what the
Jlsterites characterize as a betrayal

however, that anything will be done

Open Sessions of
Arms Conferences

Passing a resolution asking the

in the open, naming committee to
confer with similar committees from
the Kiwanis club and the Chamber
of Commerce on road work and en-
gaging in a discussion of the three
greatest essentials to successful bust
ness the Rotary Club held a busy ses-
sion yesterday.
There was also some general dis
cussion of current matters in which
the club is now interested. Lew
Stephens was in charge of the pro-
gram and the speakers he selected to
discuss the three most essential
things to success in business were
Frank Wagner, Orlo Hamm and Bill
Cassells. The committee which was
named to draw a resolution to be sent
by wire to Secretary Hughes, head of
the American delegation at the dis
armament conference, last night sent
the following telegram, signing Presi-
dent Rowton's name:
"The sense of a resolution passed
by the Palatka Rotary Club contains
an appeal to the American delegation
to stand by the declaration of George
Washington that "in proportion as
to the structure of a government
gives force to public opinion, it is es-
sential that public opinion should be
enlightened" And further that no
diplomat who is not willing to speak
frankly before the world can truly
represent his people are to make ap-
peal to the high ideals of Americans.
And further that the Palatka Rotar-
ans Join with thousands of other Ro-
tarians throughout the world in
;heir expressed hope and prayer that
secrecy may find no entertainment at |
he hands of those sincerely seeking
4 common ground for agreement on
disarmament. And further that the
proposal that America has made
,reathes and that same high resolve
which actuates every citizen in op-
posing secret sessions.

So Much Interest Is
Taken in Case
'By Associated Press)

Versailles, Nov. 15.-The cookino
stove which once belonged in the
villa of Henri Landru, who is on trial
charged with numbering eleven per-
sons, was missing today from among

Landru cremated his eleven alleged
victims in this stove.
The prosecutor had permitted
stove maker to take possession of
the exhibit in order that he might
make two or three lighter moulds of
the stove for production before the
jurors. When called upon today to
produce the stove the stove maker
said he had been unable to find it.
He said he thought practical iokers
or perhaps real burglars had carried
it away.
Landru today showed some i'm
patience over the Importance which
the newspapers and public opinion
are giving to his trial.
There is question of disarm- |
ament going on in Washington which
is much more important than the
Landru case" the prisoner declared
during the examination. -
His counsel said today that he
would plead insanity for his client.
