Chicago, June 22.-True bills are
expected to be voted BY the grand
jury tomorrow against "Big Tim"
Murphy and 10 of the men connected
with him in the $3s0,000 Dearborn
street station robbery. The bills will
carry three counts-conspiracy to
rob. robbery and possession of Sc
curities and valuables stolen from
United States mails.
Tommy" O'Connor, notorious
gunman and fugitive who is wanted
for the murder of a detective SER
geant and many other crimes, is now
figuring in the mail robberies. 1t
is said he and big Tim" were franz
ing up a robbery that would have
made the $350,000 theft look like
small change.
O'Connor had been hidden month,
in a fiat rented by Big Tim" and
conferences were held most every
day in planning for the proposed
gigantic robbery. Just before the
city police and government agents
swooped down upon the fiat, some
one tipped off to Big Tim" and
O'Connor that the. place was under

Opponents Of Lumber
Duty Pin Hopes on
Favorable Majority

Washington, June 22.-Opponents
Of a duty on lumber pinned their
hopes today on a possibility that a
majority of the republican member
ship of the house may direct the
ways and means committee to al
low it to remain on the free list.
Representative Towner of Iowa,
chairman OF the republican caucus,
issued statement declaring that a
meeting of all the republican men,
bers would be called to consider the
tariff bill, including the question of
duty on lumber. This statement
was issued following a conference of
republicans from Is states at which
plan of campaign was mapped out.
Mr.. Towner is opposed to duty on
lumber and participated in the con-
ference.
The conference of all the republi-
can members of the house, Mr..
Towner indicated, probably would be
held as soon as the drafting of the
tariff bill has been completed and
it is formally reported to the house
from the ways and means commit
tee.
If a majority of the republican
members of the house 60 on record
as opposed to duty on lumber it
is a certainty that the ways and
means committee will reverse its ac-
ton on the proposition.

Harding May Use Veto

Chicago Tribune-Omahs Bee Leased Wire
Washington, June 22.--Develop-
ments today disclosed that the adj
ministration has met defeat in all its
major contentious for an adequate
national defense program before the
onslaughts of ecoiiomy-bent con-
gressmen. Efforts to prevent a re-
turn to the state of unpreparedness
| preceding the war with Germany
have been unavailing.
Unless President Harding, through
use of his veto powers, is able to
prevent it the army will be reduced
to 100000 men by October /, de-
spite Secretary of War Weeks in
dignant protest; the navy's enlisted
personnel will be cut to 10000 in
the face of Secretary of the Navy
Denby's recommendations, and the
Borah disarmament amendment, dis
tasteful to the administration, will be
enacted into law.
Cut Army 10000.
The senate today bowed to the
will of the house and ratified the
conference report on the army bill
providing $77,740,OOO for the pay of
the enlisted men. This will require
reduction of 10000 men in the
army before October l, condition
which Secretary Weeks condemned
in the most emphatic language. The
normal number OF discharges in that
period will be about 10000, it is
estimated, SO that in order to meet
the requirements insisted upon by
the house it will be necessary to ar
bitrarily fire out OF the army at least
$4,000 men, regardless of their en-
listment terms.
Senator Wadsworth of New York,
chairman of the senate military al
fairs committee. declared that the
arbitrary discharge of $4,000 men
was without parallel and, surpassed
in cruelty anything ever proposed
in the history of the army"
Senator New of Indiana said thar
it meant that $4,000 men would be
thrown out OF employment and pre-
dicted that they would be able to
make claims for salary against the
government for ignoring the terms
OF their enlistment contracts.
Senator'S File Protests.
Senator Wadsworth added that the
bill would "incapacitate the army
for any kind of service in. this eoun-
try" and declared that he wanted
the record clearly to show THAI he
protested against it both as a matter
OF economy and policy. Neverthe-
less both he and Senator New advo-
Gated adoption of the conference re-
port as necessary measure to get
any kind OF bill at all
The actual saving accomplished
by the house, Senator Wadsworti,
stated, would be less than $1,000 900
and he pointed out that after dis
charging $4,000 men to bring the
army down to 10000 men by Oc-
tober ], it would be necessary for the
War department to begin recruiting
again to Offset the normal shrinkage.
This would cost the government
about S1O0 per man, he stated.
The naval conferees held another
meeting today to put their tentative
understandings into definite form.
As result of today's conference, it
is expected that the total of the bill
may be cut to about $403, ZOO, 900 with
provision for about 10000 enlisted
personnel. The conference report,
including the Borah disarmament
amendment, may be brought before
the house Friday.

Promised Special
Consideration.
Not Expected By Hughes

Chicago Tribune Omaha Bee Leased Wire.

By ARTHUR SEARS HENNING
Chicago TrIbune-Omaha Bee Leased Wire,
! Washington, June q. - Great
Britain has not consulted the United
States on the question of renewal OF
the Anglo Japanese alliance, has
given no assurance of special con-
sideration of American interests in
volved therein, has mot informed
| Washington of the progress, of the
negotiations and has not been ex-
pected by the Harding administration
to do any of these things.
This was disclosed by Secretary of
State Hughes today in connection
with an official denial of the truth
of the published reports to the effect
that the United States has been taken
into the confidence of the British
government in regard to this matter.
In a formal statement Mr.. Hughes
said:
"In view of a dispatch of the As
soeiated Press with respect to the
renewal of the Anglo Japanese alli-
ance, published this morning, to the
effect that 1T is understood that the
State department has been kept fully
informed of the plans OF the British
government and that it has been
given assurance that, in the renewal
of the treaty, every precaution will
be taken to guard against the in
clusion of anything inimical to Amer
ican right it is deemed proper to
say that the State department is not
informed with respect to the plans
of the British government and has re-
celved no assurances in the matter.
Avoid False Impressions.
"This statement is made to avoid
the receiving by the American pub
lie of false impressions that the de-
partment has been kept cognizant of
the progress of the negotiations"
Mr.. Hughes is known to be deep
iy interested in the effect that a re-
newal of the alliance and the char
acter of the new pact between the
British and the Japanese empires
might produce on the interests OF
the United States, particularly those
involved in the relations of the Japa-
nese and American peoples.
He has regarded the matter, how
ever, from the start, as nobody's |
business but that of England and
Japan--a question on which the
United States could not with pro-
priety address views to Britain and
on which the United States could
not expect the British government
10 confdc its views to this govern
nent.
The fact is that the interest of the
American government in a new An
glo-Japanese alliance could not have
been more effectively presented in
London than it has been by the
British self-governing dominions.
The premiers of Canada, Australia,
South Africa and New Zealand
have insisted that if the alliance be

Sims Arrives at
New York; Leaves
For Washington
Rear Admiral, Called Home
by Secretary DENLY to Ex-
plain Remarks, Carefully
Guarded at Pier.

! New York, June 22.-Rear Ad
miral Sims returned home today t,
explain to Secretary DENLY remark
attributed to him in his recent Lon
don speech on Irish-Americans.
Refusing to be taken ashore by /;
cutter he came up the bay aboard thu
liner Olympic to meet friends Of
foes who might be awaiting him neal
the pier.
Everything was peaceful when the
veteran sea dog landed. A thousand
bluecoats were 1nassed on the dock
to preserve order. Indeed, they were
SO numerous that with wharf work
ers and passengers, it would have
been difficult for many other per-
sons to have found foothold on the
pier.
Police on Guard.
Police lines were drawn several
blocks north and south of the pier
entrance. Not even when Wood
row Wilson returned from the peace
conference were more thorough
preparations WdQe.
The admiral was the first person
to step ashore. He entered an auto
mobile with Rear Admiral Huse,
commandant of the Third naval dis
trict, who was there to greet him.
Flanked by police, he rode away,
announcing he would take the first
train for Washington.
From the handful Of persons on
the pier there came neither cheers
nor taunts. Among those who met
the admiral was his brother.
On the trip from quarantine the
admiral maintained strict silence, de-
clining to make any statement before
reporting to the secretary of the
navy.
The admiral was dressed in multi.
Indeed, during the voyage he wore
his uniform only at dinner. Mrs.
Sims accompanied him home.
On her way to the pier the Olym-
pic passed a sound steamer, whose
passengers lined the rail. Across
the stretch came the sound Of cheers
for Sims.
There was no demonstration out
side the pier nor on the way to the
Pennsylvania station.
Few Cheer Him.
At the station, however, there
were a few boos and cheers, and cne
woman was seen parading with a
banner bearing the picture of jack
of the reference to
iackasses reported to have been
made by Admiral Sims in his Lon
Ion speech. The woman was not
troubled by the police.
Admiral Sims and his party left

There are plenty of cows in Ger
many, Wottrock says, and it is pos

according TO his observation, is feed
to sustain the cows they have already.

House of Lords
Resumes Debate
On Irish Tangle
Consensus of Opinion Is That
Government Proposals Made
So Far Will Not Solve
Problem.

London, June 22.-The House oi
Lords today resumed debate on the
Irish situation adjourned from june
10. Lord Salisbury blamed the gov.
ernment for its failure to postpone
the elections in the south. He said
the elections had simply provided
an opportunity for the Irish people
to declare in favor of a republic,
for moderate opinion was controlled
by extreme opinion.
The earl of Desart doubted wheth-
er anything could be achieved by
private negotiations.
Viceroy Is Scored.
Viscount Birkenhead, lord high
chancellor, alluding to the viceroy's
recent speech, which he construed
as implying that the home rule act
needed prompt amendment, and said
it was not the object OF the viceroy
to make any important pronounce
ment on the subject Of policy.
The viceroy's attention was con-
centrated on some relatively minor
points of the bill, to which amend
ments might be necessary, Lord
Birkenhead declared.
Military Measures.
The lord chancellor ridiculed the
idea that the home rule act or its
failure was responsible for the state
of affairs in Ireland. The history
of the last few months was in his
opinion the history Of failure OF the
military measures to
keep pace with and overcome the
measures taken by its op-
ponents.
The earl of Donoughmore's mo-
ton, which started the debate that
the government should determine
forthwith what amendments it was
prepared to propose to the Irish act
and authorize negotiations calculated
to terminate the deadlock. was de-
feated.
