PEACE IN IRELAND

London. July 9.-(By 4. P.l-The
result Of the conference held in Dublin
yesterday Mt which Mr.. de Valera decid-
ed to meet Mr.. Lloyd George was an.
nounced 30 late last evening that several
Of this mornings newspapers did not
comment on the new development. The
news everywhere was displayed as being
Of great Importance, however, and the
few editorials which appeared welcomed,
with one exception. the Irish truce with
the greatest cordiality. and the hope
was expressed that 1t might lead to per-
manent peace in Erin.
The London Times declared that, once
active hostillties ceased in Ireland, there
was every reason to believe the whole
atmosphere of that country would
change "and that the gravest menace
to a settlement by negotiation will dis
appear"
It observed that Mr.. de valera's let
ter to the Prime Minister, In which be
accepted the plan Of conference, was
guarded and noncommittal, adding:
THE fact remains, however, that Mr..
de Valera has chosen the path of ne
gotiation in preference to that OF con-
tinued warfare" 1t declared this gave
substantial grounds for hope, especially
in view OF arrangements made for u
truce on Monday.
The newspaper noted that Mr.. Lloyd
George seems clearly to have under
stood the danger Of continued warfare"
and concluded by expressing belief that
1.-The end of this secular trouble, ruin
Gus to Ireland and humiliating to this
country, Is within measurable dis
tance.'

HUNDREDS Killed
IN IRISH CONFLICT
INN Fem Activities Rendered
Age-oId Situation
Acute
MILLIONS IN PR0pERTYL0s

The "irrepressible conflict" between
Ireland and England has been the theme
OF historian, Of political economist, OF
philosopher and bard through hundreds
OF years. "Risings' that marked the
latter days Of the eighteenth century
and the first half OF the nineteenth. the
"Eenien' insurrections, the Home Rule
aEitations, the Land League movement
and scores Of similar activities on the
part Of a large section OF the Irish
people; the coercion measures that
have, from time to time, been applied
BY sundry British Governments to crush
rebellion have been or frequent recur-
renee and the fruitful theme Of discus
sion and Of variant legislation.
In recent years, more particularly
since the conclusion of the World War,
the Irish situation has been especially
acute, made so by the activities OF the
Sinn Fein, movement begun by ire
concilables who rejected any other set
Element than complete independence for
ireland, and since 1919 accounts Of
the columns of the newspapers from
day to day. For a considerable time
large bodies of British troops and police
have been quartered in turbulent parts
Of the island.
According to an official British report
261 persons had been killed and 448
wounded in Ireland in 1920. This re-
port did not include eighty two civilians
slain during the rioting in Ulster from
June to September. 1920.
The official report divided the casual
tics as follows: Policemen killed, 1876
wounded, 225; soldiers killed. 90
wounded, 11S; civilians killed. AZ;
wounded. 1O3. The report added that
all the civilians had been killed by Sim
Teiners.
As regards property damage and
raids, the report gives these figures:
Constabuiary barracks destroyed, $50;
damaged, 1850; raids on mails, 09S;
raids on coast guard stations and light
houses, 40; raids for arms, 2S01 raids
on revenue officers, 119.
A report issued last March by Sir
Hamar Greenwood. Chief Secretary for
Ireland, said forty nine persons had
been killed while trying to escape from
custody, 2079 were interned and 953
were In Jail.
The report of the commission of the
Committee Of One Hundred which went
to ireland to make an investigation
declared hundreds Of persons had been
killed by Crown forces and immense
figures on either score were given.
Press dispatches from Ireland since
January l indicate that hundreds more
have been killed and wounded in fight
ing, although no official estimates are
obtainable from either side The prop
erty damage since the active uprising
started Is estimated far up in the
millions, the Cork fire Of December IL,
1920, alone having caused destruction
conservatively estimated at $15 ,OOO, 900.

BEER BILL BEFORE SENATE
Passage Of Measure Indicated De-
r. spite Sharp Opposition

Washington, July 0. - Passage
by the Senate of the Willis Camp
bell Anu-beer Bill was believed
t. be indicated by n vote of 43 to 10
yesterday to begin debate on the meas
ure.
Ten Republicans and six Democrats
voted against beginning discussion Of
the bill, which passed the House last
week.
Attacks on the bills limitation on
prescription of vinous or spirituous
liquors to not more than one-half pint
alcohol within any ten day period were
made by Senators Spencer, Missouri,
and Wadsworth, New York, Repub-
leans.
Senator Knox wanted to know
whether the Government could legally
guarantee the purity Of liquor pre-
scribed.
when a man takes liquor on the
prescription Of his physician" said
Senator Knox, ''he should have assur-
ance that it is not 'moonshine' or this
synthetic stuff gotten up by the boot
leggers.''
The Pennsylvania Senator said he
planned to propose an amendment which
would make sure that the sick obtain
pure liquor.

HOWAT NOT GUILTY OF ANY
WRONG, JURORS DECLARE
Condemn Kansas Law Under Which
They Convicted Miners

Columbus, Kan, July 9.-(By A.
P.)-Judge Boss, who sentenced Alex
andcr Howat and August Dorchy, mine
union leaders, to six months in Jail for
violation of the Kansas industrial law
by calling a strike, overruled n motion
for n new trial, although 1t was sup
ported by an affidavit signed by eleven
Of the jurors.
The affidavit appended to the motion
says the only reason that verdict OF
guilty was rendered was because the
Jurors had sworn to be governed by the
law as set forth in the Courts instruc-
tions and the evidence, and that had it
not been for the law as given in the
Courts instructions not one Of the
jurors would have made a finding that
the defendants had done any wrong.
Each juror, the affidavit also says, ex-
pressed himself as believing that neither
Of the defendants had done any wrong.
The Jurors. it adds, in their delibera-
tions all expressed themselves as "ab-
solutely and positively opposed to any
such law as the industrial court law"
Howat and Dorchy are at liberty
under $4,000 bonds each pending an ap-
peal to the Supreme Court.
