ANTEBEER BILL MEN
FORCE FIGHTING
Will Make Another Effort to Call Up
the Measure for Consideration
in the Senate.

Washington, D. C. Sept. 24.-Anoth-
er effort was made to-day by support
ers of the Willis Campbell snti-beer
bill to call it up for consideration in
the Senate, but the general expectation
Of leaders was that the new peace
treaties with Germany, Austria and
Hungary. would be given immediate
consideration. The dry forces were
blocked by the vets in an eight hour
debate on the beer measure yesterday
with the result that it will probably
go over for several weeks or until the
peace treaties and tax revision bill has
been disposed Of.
The attack on the beer bill was led
yesterday by Senator Stanley, Demo-
crat. Kentucky, author of the original
search and seizure amendment, which
would require prohibition enforcement
agents TO have warrants for searching
places for liquors. As the session ran
into the evening, points of order and
quorum calls were resorted TO by the
vets with the result that the drys
eventually threw up the sponge aud
moved adjournment.

DID NOT DEMAND
RECOGNITION
AS Preliminary Condition
for Joining in Con-
ference
SINN FEIN MERELY
WANTS IT'S IDEAS
Declares Arthur Griffith
Regarding Present
Deadlock

London. Sept. "a British reeogni-
ton of Irish claims OF independence as
a preliminary condition to conference
were never asked by the Sein Finn, de-
clared Arthur Griffith, member of the
delegation chosen at Dublin TO confer
with Prime Minister Lloyd George, in
an interview with the Daily Mails cor
respondent in Dublin yesterday. He
added that entering the conference
without previous guarantees or condi-
tions would not imply British recogni-
tion of the Sim Fein's claims.
Our entrance to conditionless con-
ference" he said, would not give Ire
land any fresh international status. II
the conference broke down Ireland
would have the same international po-
sition that she holds at present. Irish
republican leaders have contended they
were entitled to enter the conference
holding their own position, but the
mere holding of those opinions would
not entitle them to anything from any
one else. Nevertheless it would be un-
just and high handed to ask the Sim
Fein to stultify its attitude by aban-
doning its standpoint.
''The Sim Fein has offered to enter
the conference for the purpose of find
ing a solution which would terminate
the quarrel between Ireland and Eng
land. The only thing that matters
would be the final agrecr mt. The opin-
ions expressed during ne conference
would be merely opinions. which would
be wiped out by that agreement

bv no means dull affair. There was
much liquor, many women and consid-
cradle rsusic from a phonograph rented
by Arbuckle for his stay in San Fran
cisco. Semnacher, while not absolute
" sure, said that to the best of his
recollection the pajama-clad eelebrants
at the party did some dancing.

FINAL ARGUMENTS
IN SI0,000,000 SUIT
Were Made To-day on Question of De-
murrer Filed By Chica-
20 Tribune.

Chicago, Sept 24.-The final argu-
ments on the demurrer filed by the Chi
csgo Tribune against the city of Chica
go's $l0,000,000 libel suit were TO be
heard before Judge Harry Fisher to-
day in circuit court.
According to a comment at the close
of court yesterday by Judge Fisher,
the outcome will hinge largely upon
whether the city, in the present suit,
is to be treated as acting in its gov
ernmental or corporate capacity.
The suit alleges damages of Sl0,000,-
900 because the Tribune in the cam
paign of 1920, stated that the city was
broke" Attorneys for the paper filed
a demurrer and argued that upholding
of the snit would abridge the right of
free speech. The city counsel have
countered this with a declaration that
the right of free speech carries no right
to tell malicious lies.

D1DN'T INTEND TOKLL,"
DECLARED DODGE WHEN
NzlNCHENDON
TO CONSULT
WITH OTHER NATIONS
Relative to Desire of United States to
Receive Equal Treatment in Re-
spect to Pacific Mandates.

Toxic, Sept. "a by the Associated
Press Japan will consult with other
members of the league of nations rel
ative to the desire of the United States
to receive equal treatment in respect
to mandate islands of the Pacific as a
feature of the settlement of the Yap
question, it is said by newspapers here.
Japan will also study the American
claim to land ownership in zap, as for
eigners do not have the right to land
ownership in japanese territory.
1t is estimated that this country S
expenses at Washington conference on
limitation of armaments and far east
ern questions will be about $2,000,00
Government leaders believe the confC
ence will be in session for two months
Definite decision has been reached
that the chief of the japanese delega-
tion will sail for the United States on
Oct. Is.
1t is believed Japan is awaiting in
formation regarding the character of
the British and French delegations be-
fore finally deciding on the man who
will act as chief at the Washington
conference.
Another meeting of japanese field
marshals and the supreme war coun-
cillors has been held, and the Yomi-
Uri Shimbun declares the army's atti-
tude on the limitation of armaments is
as follows:
Japan will maintain her already
settled principle of national defense,
and no change or alteration will be
made until /e time arrives when in
ternational disputes and trouble can
be settled without relying upon, or re-
sorting to armed force. This is because
of Japan's particular national status,
and the situation which exists in sur
rounding states"
This would indicate change from
the previously announced decision of
Japan which supported, in principle,
the maintenance of 81 army divisions.
II would seem she would be disposed to
follow nations in actual reductions.
Leading newspapers declare that it is
the intention of army and navy au-
thorties to propose definitely the re-
duction of abolishment of Notifications
in the Hawaiian islands, the Phillip.
pines and Guam in exchange for the
