Boston.-The disclosure that former
Mayor James NJ Curley had partici-
pated in the activities involved in the
charges of Attorney General J. Wesley
Allen seeking the removal of District
Attorney Nathan A. Tufts of Middlesex
county, came upon the opening of the
trial before five justices of the state
supreme court. Prominent officials and
others damned the COURTROOM to hear
the case, which promises to be most
sensational of its kind here in years.
A midnight frolic Of four years ago
at Mishawum Manor, roadhouse in
Woburn, said to have been conducted
by a woman known as Brownie Ken
nedy," whose guests included several
motion picture producers, was de-
scribed.
Allen alleges, among other things,
that Tufts was concerned in a con-
spiracy by which the motion picture
men paid 100000 to escape prosecu-
ton threatened on account of their
presence at the Mishawum dinner
party.

SIGH OF RELIEF
GREETs TRUCE
DUBLIN A PEACEFUL CITY AFTER
MONTHS OF WAR.-MAY BE
PERMANENT.
TERMS OF ARMlSTlCE FIXED
Lloyd George and De Valera VIII Con-
fer Soon--AII South ireland and
All England Hope for Perma-
nent Peace.

London.-With something like an
immense sigh OF. relief the entire coun-
try has greeted the news of the cessa-
tion Of warfare in Ireland and Eamonn
de Vaelra's coming conference with
the British prime minister at London,
which it, is fervently hoped will lead
to full restoration OF peace, the pros
poets of which even the more cautious
political observers regard as brighter
than for a long time.
The careful wording of Mr.. De Va
era's acceptance OF a conference is in
terpreted in some quarters of the Irish
republican leader feeling his way with
his own followers. 1t is thought, how
ever that truce deliberately embark
ed upon cannot well be deliberately
discarded, and that alone is a consid-
Grafton of great promise.
The terms of the truce were agreed
to at British military headquarters in
Dublin. The provisions of the truce
cover fully all the ground for a tenn
porary peace between the active Irish
workers and the crown forces. All at
tacks, searches and raids, surveillance
and provications are to be abandoned
by both sides.
Mr.. De valera's acceptance of the
responsibility for fulfillment of the
truce by the Irish republican army is
held to dispel the idea in some quar-
ters that the activities of the Sim Fem
are beyond control of the political
chiefs. Whether that is so will be
tested by the course of events after
the truce comes into effect.
Sir Hamar Greenwood, chief secre-
tary for Ireland, will remain at the
Irish office watching the situation.
AS Sir James Craig. the Ulster pre-
mier is remaining in London, it is
conceded that Premier Lloyd Georges
principal task will be to bring him and
Mr.. De Valera together.

NEW TARIFF Bill
IS CONDEMNED
DEMOCRATS SAY 1T PAVES WAY
FOR INCREASE IN FREIGHT
RATES SOON.
HEAVY ATTACK IN HOUSE
Representative Collier Charges Chair
man Fordney Applied Gag Rule in
Committee Hearlng-Repub-
Leans Retailate.

Washington. Fordney tariff
bill has been alternately condemned
and praised in the house. In speech
which drew repeated rejoinders from
republicans, Representative Collier of
Mississippi, a democratic member of
the ways and means committee,
charged that Chairman Fordney had
permitted the committee TO hear only
one side OF the case in framing the
measure.
Mr.. Collier declared the American
people had asked for duty free meat,
and they got lava and skeletons; that
they asked for free sugar and got
Chinese joss sticks.
This Fordney bill has put rates SO
high, he said. that the people VIII
suffer deprivation. The bin let's
leeches in without duty. American
Ieeches have been hanging around the
ways and means committee for
months, asking for rates so high that
they would draw the very life blood
of the people, and | fail to see the
logic OF letting the other leeches in
without being taxed upon their Ameri
can valuation"
Asked by Chairman Fordney if he
meant to call Louisiana sugar plans-
srs Ieeches because they wanted a
tax on sugar, Mr.. Collier replied:
If any man wants TO tax all the
people simply for his own selfish in
terests then let the cap fit him, re-
CARELESS of where he might live"
Mr.. Collier declared the Fordney
rates would be 40 to 40 per cent
higher than, those OF the Payne-Ald-
rich tariff, which swept the repub-
licans out of power"
How are you going to vote on the
cotton scheduled" asked Representa-
tive Knutson, republican, Minnesota.
Against it" retorted the MISSISSIPPI
pi member. You can't fool me with
any such humbug."
Asked by Representative Longworth,
republican, Ohio, whether he favored
permanent retention of the Under
wood rates. Mr.. Collier referred to the
Underwood act as the greatest tariff
law ever. enacted" Some Of its rates,
he added, might profitably be re-
duced
He charged that Chairman Fordney
in the committee hearings was will
ing to listen to testimony only if the
witness wanted a tariff wall as high
as it could be built.
Mr.. Collier declared that in, putting
steel rails on the dutiable list the re-
publicans were paving the way for
higher freight rates, since all the in
crease IN cost must be borne by the
railroads
The additional cost of Steel both
for the railroads and structural opera
tons, ne added, will find its way
eventually into the Golfers of the
steel trust, which he described as
the heaviest contributor to the last
republican campaign fund.

GOVERNMENT YIELDS TERRIFIC
WEAPON TO ENFORCE COL
LECTION OF TAXES.
WARRANT or DIsTRAlNT
internal Revenue Service Makes Col
lection of Tax Regardless of
Whether the Accused Person
Is Guilty.

Memphis. The property seized OF
Caesar Cattaneo under warrant of dis.
traint for illicit distilling will be sold
at public aution for cash, on Wednes-
day, July 27, 121, in front of~the post
office, Capleville, Tenn.
Now comes the internal revenue ser
vice with the old, old warrant OF dis
traint as an element in the matter of
illicit distilling and possession OF llq-
uor unlaWfully. And persons who are
engaged in this violation of the ma
tional prohibition act and those who
contemplate taking it US as means
of acquiring money will do well to give
heed to the operation of this warrant.
1t should be understood that the rev.
enue department has nothing to do
with the prosecution of cases coming
under the prohibition act. That branch
of the government has to do only With
the collection of the tax which the
government demands for the distilling
of liquor or for the sale Of liquor The
fact that such distilling is prohibited
by law does not relieve any persons
from payment of the assessment which
is levied on the product, for this must
be paid the government whether 1t is
produced lawfully or unlawfully.
The enforcement of the prohibition
act and the prosecution OF cases arts.
ing out of such violation is vested in
other branches of the government.
Therefore, the revenue department
does not wait until person charged
with violation Of the law is convicted
before descending with a demand for
the required tax. The procedure
briefly is this: The prohibition en-
forcement officer makes a raid. He
finds a still of liquor. An arrest may
be made or not. He makes a report
to the district prohibition enforce
ment office That office reports to
the internal revenue department. The
word is sent to the collector Of in
ternal revenue in the district in which
the violation occurred. The deputy
collector proceeds to collect Uncle
Sans tax.
Assuming the tax or assessment is
not paid, the deputy collector under
the warrant of distraint, is empow-
cred to seize any property whatsoever,
located at any place, and sell the
same for the assessment. 1t may be
the personal property of any nature,
such as clothing, furniture, automo-
bile, stock. money in the bank, or
anything of like nature.
1t may be the realty of the person
named in the prohibition officers re-
port. His home may be taken and
sold, or other realty he owns. Fur
thermore, it is not necessary that the
property sold under the warrant OF
distraint be located in the state where
the alleged offense was committed
The government looks to securing the
payment of the assessment regardless
of where the property is located.
It may appear as queer, in fact, may
seem harsh, that eproperty can be
seized and sold without the owner
thereof being found guilty first. But
it is done and it readily must be seen
what a terrific club the government
Yields in securing payment of the tax
/ it exacts from the illegal liquor
