DEVALERA LOSES
 IN MOTION ON THE
 IRISH AGREEMENT
Dali Adjourns Discussion on Treaty Until After the Christmas Holidays.
 Collins Is EIated
By Associated Pr.es

Dublin, December 22.-The Dali Eireann by vote of TT to A decided late today on a motion submitted by Michael Collins, to adjourn further debate on the Irish treaty until Tues day, January 8. It was not the mo- tion itself, but an amendment to the motion, on which the vote was ac- tually taken. The amendment, in troduced and seconded by opponents of the treaty, called for continuance of settings day and evening until action was taken on the treaty's rati- fication or rejection.
 The defeat of the amendment auto- matically decided the motion. With few exceptions, So far as could be observed, the vote followed the party lines of those favoring or opposing the treaty.
 Nobody tonight believes, of course, that If vote had been taken on the treaty itself the majority would have been So great as the vote on the ad- journment motions gave it's support CTS, but there is no doubt in the minds of those who have been following the debates carefully that this vote roughly approximates the sentiments for and against the treaty. This is denied by some of the opponents of the treaty who assert that 1t was not a fair test as many deputies on both sides, especially the country mem- bers. disliked the idea of the debate continuing through Christmas and voted for adjournment in order that they might get home for the holidays.
 In fact, Countess Markiewicz, one of the strongest opponents of the treaty, seconded MT. Collins proposal. apparently having in mind, as indi- cated by her satirical seconding speech, the possibility of the debate continuing through Christmas day and night and overlooking the posst- bility of a party division on the mo- tion.
 Pushes Motion
 MT. Collins showed eagerness to rush his motion through to quick de- cision. He summarily checked MT. Milroy, who interrupted the taking of the vote to have the question cleared up as to whether deputies representing two constituencies should have two votes, Mir. Collins declaring lHdl ne NOhlQ lOl near OI ildNlHB lhC fate of Ireland decided on the ques- tion of a technicality.
 When it became apparent there was to be a party lineup on the vote the atmosphere became tense with ex- citement. Many of the spectators failed to understand and greatest be- wilderment was manifested upon the announcement of the vote.
 DeValera's face was stern and grim when the figures were announced Considerable elation was shown by Collins and his adherents. Desmond Fitzgerald, minister of propaganda who supports the treaty, said tonight he believed that not more than 10 opponents of the treaty voted for ad- journment, indicating majority for the treaty of 13.
 Pierce Beasly. an active Sim Feiner, who intended to speak this afternoon for ratification, informed the Asso- ciated Press correspondent shortly before the vote was taken that he could not make . guess on the out come of the treaty vote, but believed that the fate of Ireland is trembling in the balance."

NEW YORK, July 1.-The rout of
the shorts continued during the early
trading of the stock market today.
Following a setback during the
initial trading when timorous traders
took profits. the list again surged up

buying by the short element
Prices rose from I TO points above
the low levels of the frst hour. The
stampede of the shorts was kuick-
ened by the developments today.
MR. MELONS STATEMENT.
The statement of Secretary Mellon
that the United States will have to
pay the railroads half a billion dol
lars in addition to the money already
paid as the result OF Government con-
troll during the war was taken to
indicate that the final accounting be-
tween the Government and the roads
would soon be competed. and that
the balance due the carriers on that
accounting would be turned over to
the companies in cash, putting them
in strong financial position
Such a step would have an i'm
portant influence on the steel indus
trials.
The reduction in prices by the
Steel Corporation, following the &C
ton taken by Bethlehem Steel, Re
public Steel and other independents
was regarded as a step towards
of the industry and is
expected to lead TO improved bust
ness in the near future.

There is a decided sentiment In
favor of cheaper money in banking
and business circles.
1t is significant that certain con-
sentative bankers who three months
ago argued against cheaper money
have recently taken the stand that
lower rate could be effected with
out danger of imitation.
1t is known that at least two
members of the Federal Reserve
board favor lower discount rates
Immediately. One of these has been
a strong advocate OF high rates un-
til recently.
When the first discount rate reduc-
ton by the New York Federal Re-
serve Bank was made, May 5. reserve
ratio for the combined system stood at
55.3 per cent. Six weeks later, June
10, the combined ratio stood at SOS,
up u points. and the rate was again
reduced. Two weeks later the ratio
had advanced to COS per cent-up 4
points.
Theoretically, lower rates should
cause an expansion of loans. but ac-
tually lower rates have resulted and
leading bankers do not believe that a
5 per cent rate would result in ex-
pansion
Comptroller Crissinger recently
pointed out that business men have
become tmid. They are afraid to
borrow. They need to be encouraged.
Recently one of the leading bank

WAS NEW ONE ON KITCHENER
Great British Soldier Somewhat Out
Of His Element When 1t Came

Here is Lord Kitchener story, told
by the anonymous author of "The Mir
rors of Downing Street" Kitchener
was soldier and absorbed in his pro-
fessicn. Details outside of his ruling
passion annoyed him.
During the early days of the war
Lloyd George went to him at the war
office and asked the appointment of
denominational chaplains for the varl-
Ous sects of the army.
Kitchener had no interest in chap
lains. He regarded them as negli-
gible factor in the fighting machine.
He opposed the appointments. Lloyd
George insisted, especially with respect
to lresbyterians. Kitchener finally

EXPECT NEW LOCATION
FOR NORTH ROAD

A delegation of Winslow citizens
appeared before a meeting of the
Board of Supervisors at Holbrook
Saturday and urged the board to de
lay the contracting of the work on
the Winslow-Keams Canyon road
from the Fur and Feather wash to
Reservation line. The road has
been viewed couple of times by
viewers appointed by the supervis-
Ors and a tentative location made,
This location has been accepted by
the board and contracts for the CON
struction work were to have been
let last Monday by the Highway
Commission but upon arguments be-
fore the board Saturday, the board
decided to hold the matter in abey-
ance until the new location could
be viewed and a location made that
would connect with the reservation
road
Maj Daniels, superintendent for
the Navajo reservation showed that
it was practically impossible for the
government to construct road tC
meet the county road at the point
selected by the viewers where it in
tersects the reservation line. AS
the road was for the purpose of
connecting Winslow and the Indian
country with most direct highway
and the connection could not be
consummated under the location
made by the previous viewers, il
was brought to the attention of the
board and they have DELAYED action
in the letting of the contracts. No
tices have been posted this week in
dicating the change of location from
the Fur and Feather wash to Conan
springs where it will connect with
the road located and to be built by
the government Mai. Daniels pre-
eented the matter to the board on
behalf of the government and the
county end of the road was discuss
ed by the Winslow delegation and
the members of the board. William
Daze, manager for Babbitt Brothers
Kenneth Meyers, cashier of the Ari-
zona State bank, e. A. Sawyer, Su-
pervisor Creswell, Judge R. B. Wal
ton and L. V. Root attended the
meeting from Winslow. AT the ex-
piration of four weeks posting ol
notices, a new board of road view
ers will be appointed to look over
the new location which will connect
with the government road proposed
to meet the county road at or neal
Comar springs.
