PREMIER'S IRISH
PLAN INDORSED
BY COMMONS
Reopening of Hostilities Are
Threatened Unless NegOtia-
tiOns Reach Settlement.

LOUDOC, Nov. 1.-The newspapers
united In declaring that the irish peace
negotiations which were to have been re-
sumed today were on the verge of a
breakdown.
At Downing street, It was admitted
that "the situation is most difficult"
but representatives of both the Govern
ment and the Slim Foin denied that any
actual break had come.
LONDON, Nov. Irish peace negotia-
tons were expected to be resumed today
under threat Of renewed civil warfare
unless a settlement is reached.
This warning was issued In the House
of Commons last night by Premier Lloyd
George just before that body Endorsed
the negotiations by the Overwhelming
vote OF 439 to 43, when he said:
IF the conference is broken OF the
first thing the government would have
to do would lie to ask a Strengthening
of the crown forces in Ireland on a
considerable scale. Unless this Is aLso-
lutely necessary for the honor and Sc
curity of the country, this. is not the
time to ask the house to impose great
additional burdens upon The taxpayers
and to invite our young men again to
risk their lives"
Lloyd George called Austen Chamber
lain. keeper of the priyy SEAL Arthur
Griffith, head Of the Irish delegation. and
Michael Collins, commander in chief of
the Sim Fein military forces into con-
ference during the forenoon. While the
reason for the meeting was not announced
1t was characterized as important.
Press comment on the debate over the
vote of censure asked by Unlonists, which
was turned into vote of confidence in
the Government was distinctly pessimistiC
and several newspapers interpreted the
premier's speech as q warning to the
public to prepare for possible break
down Of the negotiat tons.

Democrats Pick
COrdeLL Hull
of Tennessee
He Succeeds George White as
Chairman of National
Committee.

ST. LOUIS, No. Nov. i--CordeI Hull,
Tennessee, was picked by Democrats to-
day to succeed George Waite as chair
man Of the Democratic national commit
tee.
Breckenridge Long, St. Louis, was the
FIRST choice of Cox and McAdoo factions,
but his appointment was made impossible
when Edward Goltra, st. Louis, refused
to resign as Democratic committeeman
from Missouri.
Breckenridge Long, formerly was third
assistant Secretary of State. He ran for
Senator from Missouri in November, 1920,
but was defeated.
GOLTRA DECLINES
TO QUIT JOB.
Senators Carter Glass and Pat Harrison
made the announcement Of Hulrs selec-
ton following a caucus which preceded
the executive session of the committee
Glass was indignant Because Goltra re-
fuse TO resign to make way for Long.
"Goltra kept us waiting for two hours
and then came up and told us it would
be disastrous for the party If he stepped
out" Glass said.
Goltra kept the other powers Of De-
mocracy waiting while he entertained
women committeeman at a breakfast.
White, who Will resign as chairman 10
make room for Hull. will do so willingly,
he said.
Storm clouds that have been brewing in
the Democratic party for several weeks
were dispelled when the supporters Of
Cox and McAdoo agreed on Hull.
Hulls election followed invent Y four
hours OF conference between the Cox
faction, led by Harrison, and the McAdoo
contingent headed by Glass.
McAdoo's supporters were at first
strong for Dan Roper, former internal
revenue commissioner, but the Cox fol-
lowers would not accept any other than
a compromise chairman.
By the retirement Of White, the Nc
AdoO faction has won a victory. The
opinion was expressed that a part of
the responsibility Of the result Of democ-
racy at the polls last year was due to
Whites inexperience.

SHAW TELLS
WHOLE STORY
OF ROBBERY
Beech Grove Bandit
Turns States Evil
dence.
MILLER ON TRIAL

Clint Shaw, alias simms, one OF the
nine persons under Indictment for the
roll berry OF the Beech Grove State Bank
on Sept 8, today turned states evidence
and took the stand against his former
pal George w. Miller, who is on trial
in the Marion County Criminal Court on
charge Of robbery.
1t was Shaw's confession last week that
brought about the arrests Of William
Mcdonald, a former policeman; Thomas
Mckinney, a motorcycle officer, Mrs.
Erma Stout. wife Of Glen Stout one OF
the alleged bandit trio; Mrs. Amanda
Miller, mother on the man on trial, and
Claude Mitchell of Anderson.
Shaw, Miller and Stout and a negro
whose name the police have refused to
divulge, but whom Shaw says is "Blll'
Clark, are charged with having com
mitted the actual hold-up. Clark is 4
fugitive from justice.
The Introduction of Shaw by Prosecu-
tor William 2. Evans and the emphatic
Identification Of Miller by Miss Helen
Newman boOkkeeper at the bank, aided
the State in materially tightening the
chain of evidence which the State is in
PRODUCING against Miller.
SHAW OPENLY
GIVES DETAILS.
Shaw for the first time today openly
exposed the circumstances leading to the
daring daylight hoIdup of the Beech
Grove State Bank by which the bandits
obtained about $4,000 and about $4,000
in United States Liberty bonds.
The high lights Of Shaw's testimony
are rs follows: That Shaw, Stout and
Mitchell met in Toledo, Ohio, after Shaw
had become acquainted with Miller in a
poOlroom in indianapolis.
That plans were made to hold up a
bank messenger going to the Beech Grove
bank with money after arrangements had
been made to shadow the messenger. That
1t was finally decided 1t was not "safe"
to attempt to hold up the messenger, but
to stick up" the bank. That Shaw, NIL
Ter and Clark entered the bank and that
all participated in the holdup. That
about $4,000 was obtained in cash and
about $4,000 in Liberty bonds. That the
money was divided at Stout's home and
that Shaw claimed his share was $500
in cash.
That the Liberty bonds were hidden in
