 FIRED AT VICKSBUpc
tBy the Associated Press)

Kelso, Wash, Sept. 1.-P. J. Knapp, a Civil War veteran, after 58 years, has traced the course of bullet he fired at the siege of Vicksburg.
 Some time ago MT. Knapp read a news dispatch saying that w. V. Meadows, a Confederate veteran of Lanott, Ala, had coughed up bullet which was shot into his eye at Vicks- burg. Mir. Meadows, the account said, was a member of the 37th Ala -bama regiment, and Mir. Knapp re- called an incident at the siege, when he and three other members of the 5th Iowa Volunteers were called upon to silence Confederate sharpshooter who was firing through small. hole in sheet of boiler plate.
 After MT. Knapp fired, the sharp shooters shots were discontinued, and it was surmised that he had been shot in the eye.
 When MT. Knapp wrote to MT. Meadows, the latter said that he was the man behind the boiler plate and taht the bullet entered his right eye. Mir. Knapp received a photograph of the bullet and of Mir. Meadows. The two veterans have enjoyed a consid- erable cores pondence over the incl dent,

QUEEN LIL'S EFFECTS
 FETCH LOW FIGURES
t3y the Associated Press

Honolula, T. H., Aug. 31.-Fast fading under the ravages of time, the dimming memories of the old 'Ha- waiian monarchy-once so splended- are being swept rapidly into oblivion by many agencies.
 One particularly disastrous day to the vestags of the old dynasty wit messed many possessions of the late Queen Liliuokalani, last of the native monarchs, pass under the auction eer's hammer recently and the spec tacular destruction by fire theat night of the historic Anahau palace, one of the residence of princes of the rayal blood and also famed as the haunt of Robert Louis Stephenson during his stay in the Hawaiian Is- lands.
 The bath-tub of Queen Lil' brought S37.50. A large bowl of native design was sold to the iron moulder. A tall spindly shaving stand was sold for ten cents to Chinese furniture of koa, or Hawaiian magohany, includ- ing wardrobes exemplifying high skill in cabinet making, marble-top washstands, hat stands and a piano, brought from less than fifty cents to S60.
 The queens ice box sold for S15. A large book of views of the city of Syd- ney, inscribed as "a gift to Her Mag esty," Queen Liliuokalani, from the Government of New South Wales" and presented just before the fall of the monarchy in 1892, returned $5.50. Many pictures, autographed and sent the late queen by actors and actresses famous thirty years ago, brought varying small sums.

LONDON, Oct. s1.-premier Lloyd
George triumphantly defended the
course of the government in the Irish
negotiations tonight before the House
OF Commons and obtained vote OF
confidence by the overwhelming major
ity of 439 to 43, in effect authorizing
him toproceed with his efforts to reach
settlement. This vote was on motion
of censure offered by the Unionists,
BY inference, the Premier's address
was warning to the Sim Feiners that
a failure to come to an agreement
would mean return of bloodshed in
ireland even more terrible than before
the truce. He told the House of Com
mons an inspasse in the negotiations
would necessitate increasing the Crown
forces in Ireland
Amid cheers and counter cheers the
Premier insisted that the real question
was whether to confer with the Sim
Fein or crush rebellion, and solemnly
put the issue thus:
"Unless it is absolutely necessary for
the country's honor and security, it is
not the time to ask the House of Com
mons to impose great added burden
on the taxpayers and invite the ma
tlon's young men again to risk their
lives"

On Policy for

Ruling Authorities in De-

Behind the Dreadnought
as the Unit of Strength
Sims and Fiske Disagree
Insist 1916 Building Pro-
gram Be Disregarded for
Submarines and Planes
BY Carter Field

WASHINGTON, Oct. 31.-The Navy
Department is torn wide open though
not publicly as yet-over the plans
with which the department. is approach
Ing the Armament Limitation Confer
ence. What has been termed the pro-
gressive element fears that the Amer
lean Big Four is consul ting with men
who are committed to the 1916 building
program idea of naval strength.
AT the conference to-day the Big
Four-Hughes, Root, Lodge and Un-
derwood-met with Secretary DENLY,
Assistant Secretary Roosevelt, Admiral
Robert L. Coontz, Chief of Naval Oper-
ations, and Captain William Pratt, of
the Navy General Board. The plans
which the. nave prepared for consid-
Grafton in connection with any agree
ment which may be evolved for the cur
failing of naval expenditures have not
been made public, but on absolutely re-
liable information reaching the writer
they are utterly committed to the
dreadnought as the unit Of strength,
and the total gross tonnage Of all
fighting ships looms large.
This is naturally extremely irritating
to the officers who agree with Admirals
Sims and Fiske. They agree that the
Navy Department in obtaining appro-
pris tions from Congress this year was
guided by a distorted and dispropor.
tionate idea of the value oil the big snip
as compared with the submarine and
the airplane.
Ignore Newer Weapons
In the plans showing the comparative
naval strengths of the nations which
will meet here at the conference the
tables are so arranged that the sub
marine and the airplane seem almost out
of the picture. SO much value is put
upon sheer weight of metal that the
total tonnage of the fleet of each nation
already afoat is computed.
This is subject of deep concern to
the officers who constitute what has
been termed the progressive element OF
the navy-the men who bel eve that the
airplane and the submarine have SO
changed conditions that it is no longer
possible to measure the comparative
strengths of navies by the weight of
metal its dreadnoughts can throw in
one broadside.
Any agreement as to the curtail-
ment of naval building which might be
reached, they fear, is likely to lead the
United States gradually into position
which they believe would be far in
ferior to either Japan or England,
both of which countries fully appre-
ciate, for examples the value of the
airplane carrier, England having al
ready built two and Japan having ap--
propriated for this type, while all that
the United States has is the old slow

Censure Sought by Unionists Refused by Over
whelming Vote After Lloyd George De-
fends Policies in Eloquent Speech

Lloyd George did not conceal his be-
lief that he might yet have to make the
grim announcement that it was impos-
ssible to settle without danger of dis
honor, but he declared that "if that
terrible hour comes, Britain's con-
science must be free"
We will examine every proportion
leading to an honorable p.ace," the
Premier added.
Lloyd George attacked the terms of
the motion of censure offered by the
unionists courteously, but with de-
termination, and then came to grips
with the charge that the Irish negotia-
tions should have been sanctioned by
Parliament.
"No pact entered into in the course
OF the negotiations" he said in reply
to this, "can come into effect without
the authority of Parliament"
Coming to the part of the motion
condem ming the parIey with men who
were engaged in conspiring against
the crown, he said the government al
ways had stated that it was ready to
talk with Irishmen who could "deliver
the goods" and "if he were not to
make arrangements with De Valera
and his friends, who else is there?" he
asked.
The Premier hotly denied that he
had ever used the expression murder
gang" and replying to an interj ection
he said Michael Collins had not been
convicted of murder, and under the

sent to Police Headquarters and all
available guards were set searching
the interior of the prison. The escape
was found to have been effected by the
use of wooden platforms erected to
permit painting of the steelwork under
the roof.
Two of the missing men, Taylor and
Schneider, had been employed on this
work for the last four days. They are
believed by Warden Harry Horneck
carefully to have planned the delivery
and to have arranged the planking in
such manner that they were able to
reach the steel roof beams with COM
parative ease.
Once there they forced skylieht,
crossed the entire width of the prison,
nearly a block, and attached their rope
TO stanchion on the prison wall. From
there they dropped to wall separat.
ing Fort Greene Park from the prison,
From the top of the wall they slid
down the fope into the park.
Warden Harry Hosnick was notified
OF the escape within ten minutes Of it's
discovery. He ordered all hands in a
search OF the prison, thinking the men
might be concealed within it's walls
awaiting 8. chance to escape later. Dis
covery. of the rope on the park wall
told what had happened.
Gates was in Jail on a charge of
robbing postofTice at Oxford, n. c.,
last year and stealing $34,00 in stamps
and currency. Murray was arrested
with Gates for the same offense.
Taylor and Schneider, who had been
painting the roof interior, were drug
addicts. Warden Hosnick ordered that
all drug peddlers known to the police
be watched on the assumption that
these two would endeavor to obtain
drugs. All the homes Of the escaped
prisoners were guarded last night.

Goblin Cat Puts Jinx on
Temple of Matrimony
Halloween Apparition in City
Chapel Turns Happy Couple
Back From Altar

Young men bewitched to the point OF
rnatrimony thronged the Marriage Lii
cense Bureau in the Municipal Building
with their enchanting fiancees yesterday
and everything was as merry as mar
riage bell until just at dusk, when the
Halloween goblins were mastering.
At that mystic hour Joseph j McCor-
mick, Deputy City Clerk, throw open the
door of the marriage chapel with beneti-
cent gesture and was astounded to see
the happy couple he was shepherding
draw back in perturbation. He glanced
into the room. Its sole occupant was a
black cat which sat in the clerks chair
giaring at him.
Nothing would persuade that couple to
get married there. One glimpse of that
apparation ON Halloween was enough.
They departed in spite of Mr.. McCor-
mick's protests that it was just car.
Even Mr. McCormick's equanimity was
shaken when he returned to the office
alone and found that the black cat had
vanished, although all the doors and
windows were closed.

Five Prisoners Escape From
Brooklyn Jail; Flee i'm Auto

Five prisoners awaiting trial in Ray
mond Street jail, Brooklyn, escaped a
few minutes after o'clock last night
by descending from the roof on q rope.
Twofof the men are noted desperadoes.
They dropped into Fort Greene Park
and are believed to have been picked
up by confederates in an automobile.
Keeper John O'Connor discovered the
absence of the FIVE prisoners when he
went to put deadlocks on the cells at
6:10 o'clock. He gave the alarm and
within ten minutes news of the delivery
was received at Police Headquarters
Fifty detectives and squads of motor
cycle men were at once sent in pur-
suit.
The escaped prisoners are William
Maloney, twenty-four years old, 50
Fifth Street, Long Island City; John
Murray, alias Michigan Shorty" forty

liam Gates. alias "California joe" 564
West Houston Street; George Taylor,

Albert Schneider, thirty-seven, 3o1
Sumner Avenue, Brooklyn.
Maloney and Gates are described by
the police as dangerous criminals. It
Is hHo"H THAT tney Wall resist capture,
and they are believed to have been
armed by confederates outside the Jail
walls. Maloney escaped from the West
Portal prison at Trenton, N. j., in
June, 1920. He was awaiting trial here
on charge OF robbery in the second
degree. Last year he was acquitted of
murder charge on the plea of in
sufficient Identification.
AS soon as the cells of the FIVE men
were found empty Deputy Warden
James Thompson ordered count
which verified the figure. An alarm was
