Ulster Satisfied

The Ulster leader maintains that
the Sim Feiners themselves, by con-
testing the elections for the northern
parliament on platform of mo par
tition," in which they were roundly
defeated, have recognized listers
claim to self determination and, so
far as his words have been interpret
ed for the present, he seems to wash
his hands of any further participation
in the peace negotiations.
Just before taking the train tonight
with his colleagues for Belfast, Mr..
Craig said:
Il return home we'll satisfied with
the efforts being made towards peace.
Mr. de Valera has broken his silence
and cleared the ground by his state
ment to the press that he proposes to
1ound his claim on recognition of the
right of self determination The
Ulster premier elaborated his conten-
ton that the people of northern Ire
land in the recent elections deter
mlned' their own parliament by an
overwhelming majority and that Mr..
dc valera and his friends admitted
the right of such self determination
on the part of northern Ireland by
the fact that they themselves stood
as candidates for the northern parlia-
ment and submitted their policy of

in Cotton Exports

New York. July 1S---Representa-
tive southern bankers have indorsed
the plan of the War Finance Cor
poration to provide financing for
cotton exports in addition to that
available through regular banking
channels, it was announced tonight
by Eugene Meyer, Jr., managing di-
rector of the War Finance Corpor-
alton.
Their approval was contained in
answers to missionaries sent out
by committee recently appointed
by President Harding. Besides Mr.
Meyer the committee comprises Sec
retaries Mellon and Hoover. Spot
and expert dealers in cotton have
also concurred in the opinion of the
bankers. Mr.. Meyer said.

provide financing for one hundred
thousand bales of long staple cotton

now expects to care for the export
Of twice that number.
THE cotton business throughout
the world" Mr.. Meyer said, has been
showing a gradual but sound i'm
provement in the last few weeks. IF
it becomes clear that adequate f.
nancing will be provided it will re-
suit in such increased confidence as
to stimulate orders by retail and
wholesale merchants. thus lifting a
large burden from the original pro-
ducers and the small banks that car

ANTI-bEEF. B.L
SHOWED ASIDE FOR
FARM FINANCE BILL

Washington, July 1S.-Pleas for i'm
mediate enactment Of the Willis
Campbell anti-medical beer bill fell
on deaf ears today in the Senate
which by vote of II TO II decided to
give priority to the Norris farm cx-
port finance bill.
Delay and not defeat of the beer
bill. it was said would result, the
Senate vote being regarded a $ express
ing the view that aid to farmers was
more of an emergency than amend
ment of the Nolstead law.
BY making the Norris bill, to create
federal corporation with SOC 600, 600
of capital and power to issue $1,000.
600. 600 of securities in financing farm
exports, its unfinished business with
daily privileged. status, the Senate
somewhat set its future program, fol-
soldiers bonus bill. During the week
the Senate expects to. pass the Shep-
pard baby bill' for government aid
to maternity and infancy. Other meas
ureS in immediate prospect are the
Sweet bill to coordinate soldier relief
agencies. the administration bill for
refunding the allied debt and several
more farmer relief measures.
Prohibition leaders today urged the
Senate to take up the beer measure
instead of the Norris bill, but the
Senate needed countcr-pleas of the
agricultural bloc" Several senators
Of the prohibition group voted TO push
ahead the Norris bill, declaring that
the agricultural situation was more
critical than the prohibition and that
the prohibition mea sure soon would
be passed in any event. Those in
charge Of the beer bill planned to call
it up for an hour or two daily until,
under Senate rules, it is forced to give
way to the Norris bill. When the
beer measure could be passed under
this procedure was said by its man
ayers to be problematical. They eX-
pressed belief that the treasury de-
partment would continue to hold up
regulations permitting prescriptions
of beer as medicine
: The contest between the prohibition
and agricultural groups developed
that another movement was on foot
for a summer II cess or adjournment of
tho Senate, while it's finance commit
tee considers the House tariff bill.
Senator Jones, Republican, Washing
ton opposing any suspension, said the
Republicans were being polled on the
adjournment question. He urged the
Republican leadership to keep the Sem
ate "on the job" declaring so much
important business was pending and in
prospect tn 1t the Senate could not af-
ford to adjourn.
1t was learned that the adjourn
ment proposal was meeting with small
favor More than a dozen Republican
senators We're said to have been
pledged against it and leaders said
that prospects for even a brief tenn
porary vacation for the Senate were
slim"
Fourteen Republican and three
Democratic senators voted in opposi-
tion to taking up the Norris bill
ahead of the beer measure. The Re-
publicans include Fernald and Hale,
Maine; Neycs, New Hampshire.

Pittsburg, July 13-Prisoners in the

four buildings and for a time kept the
institution in an uproar, while prison
guards, deputy sheriffs and policemen,
reinforced by armed citizens, battled
to put down the disorder. Six con-

the battle. Prison officials said that
three of four OF the wounded would
probably die.
The outbreak. timed to start with
the ringing OF the first gong, began

four places in the institution almost
simultaneously, when guards discov-

Some six hundred prisoners had
just taken their seats in the big din
ing room when one of them sent a
soup bowl careening down one of the
long tables. Instantly the room was
in confusion for at the same moment
the fire gong sounded an alarm from

when faced by other guards, backed
into building and ran for the top of

point they hit the guards, now rein

prison. with bricks torn from the top
of the wall. Sheriffs and police from
every precinct in the city soon added
to the fighting forces within the en-
closure and it was not long until the
prisoners had been chased from the
wall to their cells. They signalized
their ton by breaking the
glass in the windows and shreiking to
the thousands of people gaehered in
the streets and filling the house tops
nearby.
Within two hours the fire was un-

John NJ. Eagan, parole officer. after

criminals. Recently a party of con-

These men and women Mr. Ecan said,

which, when denied, only inflamed the
discomfort.
