Neither the governor or Albert Fink

sheriff last night that the governor
would be ready to surrender today
1t was reported, however, that Mr..
Small and his attorneys and frienos
were in conference in another law
office in the vicinity.
May Surrender in Chicago
One rumor which spread shortly af-
ter the conference opened was that
the governor might surrender either
to Charles Fitzmorris, general super
intendent of the Chicago police, or
Sheriff Peters, and permit them to
telegraph Sheriff Mester at Spring
field that the governor was in custody
and to come and get him.
If the Sangamon county authorities
can be persuaded to make the arrest
here, it is understood that all arrange.
ments have been made to apply to a
Cook county court for writ of habeas
corpus. If the governor should stand
trial, and in the event of ruling

BASIS is NOT FOUND
FOR IRISH PARLEY;
SEEK COMMON VIEW
tBv Associated Press)

DUBLIN, July 27.-Eamonn De Va
lera, the Irish Republican leader, and
his colleagues have not yet found a
basis for the proposed conference with
the British government on the Irish
question in London, but are continu-
ing to search for a common ground
On which the contending parties may
meet. it was stated in well informed
quarter today.
LONDON, July 27.-The possibility
that four legislatures may be esta b
lished in Ireland-one each in the
provinces of Ulster, Munster, Con
naught, and Leinster-under a cen
trail national parliament is limited al
this morning by the Sketch, which
says:
ut need not be assumed, as is done
in some quarters, that under unifica
ton there would be only two govern
ing authorities under a federal Irish
parliament. 1t has been almost over
looked that there are four great prov

which incidentally reiterates some
earlier reports the statement is made
somewhat disconnectedly, that sub
ject to satisfactory solution of the
Irish unification problem Eamonn De
Valera has intimated that he will not
renew the campaign for an independ
ent Irish republic and also that he
will not seek to raise an army ol
navy or the right to enter into rela
tions with foreign powers, except tt
the same extent as these privileges
are enjoyed by the self-governing do
minions of the British empire.
Diminish Doubts
The Daily. Mail, however, mention!
reports of closer understanding be
tween the north and the south,
which it says diminished the doubts
respecting the ability of the riva
| Irish leaders to meet and contrive
| ground for common action. Thi
newspaper adds:
| 1T is understood that some SIM
Fein leaders agree to the govern
ment's terms and it is anticipate,
that an agreement for general accept
ances will be reached. In any cas-
| Mr.. De Valera is expected to retur1
to England shortly and in the NEAR
time he continues in harmoniou
touch with all concerned in Ireland.

today that hey would relent not one
whit in the fight in behalf of theil
measure. They had ready to be voted

THE PARABLE OF THE PIGEONS

| stood upon the platform of an
Elevated Railway in a Great City
And there flew Pigeons around me,
and they walked upon the Platform,
close up to my Feet. And | said, This
remindeth me of Venice where | have
fed the Pigeons Of Saint Marks and
| would even do so here.
And | looked about me, and l be-
held box where there were Pea
nuts. And | dropped a Coin in the
Slot, and | received some Peanuts
in mine hand.
And | showed them unto Two Pig
cons. And | laid them down upon
the Platform. And the Two Pigeons
flew both of them to eat the Pea
nuts.
But one of the Pigeons flew at the
other one ard he took him with his
Beak, by the feathers that grew upon
the top of his head, and he Pulled
him, and he Picked him, and he per
secuted him shamefully. And the
Peanuts were scattered and wasted,
and many of them were thrown upon
the ground.
And when the Stronger Pigeon
had Oppressed the weaker Pigeon
so that the Weaker ceased to resist,
then did the Stronger one fly back,
and pick up what was left of the Pea
nuts. And there still were left more
than were good for him, but he ate
them, every one And the Weaker
Pigeon came and drew near and
watched every Peck and Bite of with
Covetous Longing, yet came not he
nigh enough to provoke the other
one to leave his Peanuts and attack
him.
And when all the peanuts were
gone, then did they both fly upon the
Railing, and they waited for some
other man to come along and give
them some more Peanuts.
And when | beheld this, [ said,
Oh, We foolish birds! How evil are
your doings for there had been
enough for you both and more than
we both could eat! Why did We not
eat both of you all that We wanted,
and then call in other pigeons to con-
sumo what was left? For this had
been to your profit, both of you, and
for the profit of other pigeons, and
the encouragement of those who re-
joice to provide Peanuts for Pigeons.
And now, behold, repenteth me
that that which | intended for good
should have become the occasion of
strife, and | shall consider well be-
fore | waste more of my Hard-earn-
ed Cash on Peanuts for Pigeons that
are so unworthy of my Generosity
And | considered how men and ma
lions use the gifts of God and | Won
dered what God thinketh of US.
And / said, Oh, We foolish Pigeons,
will We continue to be as foolish as
men?

Dear Tom:

You expected, o. cc.rsa, that you

You aren't | have known all along

known that | never loved you and
have always planned, anyhow, on
having my fling, married or single.

just this once-I have looked on you
merely as some one on whom to I'M

the future.
In my selfishness I have considered
You as dollars and cents PROPOSE

nothing more.
| have not one thought for your
happincss-you muS& Anow that -
and would not have had, had / lnar~t
ried you.
Love had no place in my scheme
of existence. My mother taught me
that love and marriage were a game
Of finance in which the winner pick
ed the bank roll.
And, Tom, shabby as it sounds to
say it, I've been picking my hand
over, tabling the smaller numbers,
wildly for the larger ones
and playing carefully SO that once in !
my grasp they all stayed there. That
S why you, Of all the rest, remained. |
You thought you were winning
when really you were being trapped. |
Why my mother believed as she

played everything on love and lost. |
