S|NN FE|N COAL
/. IS EPENDENCE
AND NOTHING LESS
Declaration by Official Organ of
Dali Eireann
FEEvED AT BRITISH PRESS
Hints at Revival of Military
Terror by London Papers
Are Resented

London, July 26.-Nothing less than
national independence will content
the Sim Fein leaders, the Irish Bul.
let,n, official organ of the Dali Fire.
ann, MAKES this declaration from the
headquarters in Dublin.
While nothing is actually known
Of the nature of the government s
proposals, byond the general out
line OF dominion home RUE and fiscal
autonomy. the Bulletin contains a.
outburst against the assumptions Of
the British press concerning the nego
tiations which appears to show that
the proposals are unsatisfactory so
far as Southern Ireland is concerned.
Resentment is expressed at hints
in the British newspapers that there
would be revival OF the military
terror" unless the so-caled "conces.
sions' were accepted. But" declares
the organ, the Irish people Will agree
to nothing which denies the ancient
unity OF Ireland or seeks to impose
upon the nation alien dominion OF any
kind.
According to The Associated Press
dispatches from Ireland the govern
ment proposals include a plan to re.
organize the Irish police on civil
basis, elimpating the military ele-
ment and disbanding the auxiliaries.
This would be an important conces.
sion to Irish feeling.
Eamonn Valera took up with the
members OF his cabinet yesterday de-
tails of the British proposals, prepara-
tory, 1t is understood, to submitting
them to the Dali cream.
The British cabinet council last
night decided to bring the session OF
Parliament to an end August 30, "un-
less an Iish settlement makes an
autumn session necessary"
This provisional decision Is taken
to mean that the government Is still
hopeful of peace In ireland. The day
was without progress toward solu.
ton.

REFUTE IMMUNITY CLAIM
Judge Mcdonald Testiiies that
No Promises of Any Kind
Were Made

Chicago, July 26.-Judge Hugo
Friend, sitting In the case Of the for
mer White Sox players and alleged
gamblers charged with conspiracy to
throw the world series to Cincinnati,
Yesterday admitted as evidence the
confessions of Eddie Cicotte, Joe
Jackson and Claude Williams to the
grand jury, that they were paid from
@5,O0O to $4,000 to throw games.'
The order was given despite the fact
that the three men took the stand IN
their own defense and swore they had
been promised immunity.
Judge Charles A. Mcdonald who
ordered the baseball scandal investi-
CATION, followed the players with tes-
timony that they were never prom
ised anything, that they signed Inn
munity waivers, and that they were
plainly told that they would be given
no consideration by the states at
torney.
Judge Mcdonald To Testify.
Judge Friend then ruled that in
place of the original signed confess
sions of .ta men, which are missing,
the state could have the court
stenographers a/the grand jury in
ouiry read from their shorthand notes
the testimony of the three players. He
also granted permission for Judge
Mcdonald and others to whom the
players told their stories before go
ing to the grand jury to testify as to
these conversations, the state thus
being able to present series OF iden'
tical confessions instead OF only one.
Judge Mcdonald yesterday told his
version of the oonfessions-how Ci-
cote was paid 10000 and Jackson
and Williams $4,000 each, the latter
two claiming they were double-cross-
ed out of $4,000 more each promis'
ed them.
Cicotte, Jackson and Williams tes-
tilted with the jury absent, their tes-
timony dealing only with the admis-
stability of the confessions. Cfeotte
brought absolute silence in the court
room when he told he had btoken
down before Judge Mcdonald anu with
tears in HIS eyes confessed to MN.

case the once great pitcher said. Il
didn weep and wall as some say, but
guess there are plenty of tears In
my eyes and the crying ] have done

Opposition to Both Methods Ex-
pected in Both House and
Senate

Washington, July 26 The sales tax
as a source Of new recenue practically
has been abandoned by the Administ-
ration on the score of inexpde ency and
because 1t would result in heaping tax.
es upon taxes. This was indicated
ast might by Secretary Of the Treasury
Mellon.
MIR. Mellon suggested several new
sources OF revenue which might sup.
plant the sales tax proposal and which
are under consideration both by the
Treasury Department and the House
Ways and Means Committee. These
include a revival OF the cent postage
rate and revenue stamp taxes on bank
checks.
When Secretary Mellon listed a bank
check tax and cent postage as pos.
sib fruitful sources he took pains to
emphasize that these merely were un.
der consideration, and that his an
nouncement was not to be accepted
as indicating that the idea will be a
dopted He said he probably would
confer further with Postmaster Gen.
eral Hays concerning the plan of in
creased etter postage before he ap-
pears to testify before the House com.
mittee. Mr. Mellon is said to have
been Informed that while 3 cent letter
postage would provide probab 500,
OO0,OO additional revenue, that op-
position in House and Senate could
be expected both to the suggestion of
raising letter postage and placing a
stamp tax on bank checks.
Secretary Mellon alluded to strong
pressure now being exerted to repeal
the railroad ticket taxes. and suggest
ed II as a possibility rather than as a
probable recommendation to Congress.
