VALERA'S LETTER
RAISES QUESTION
OF JAILED LEADERS
(isy The Associated Pressl

LONDON, Aug. 13.-The presence
at today's British cabinet meeting of
General McCready, military com
mander Of Ireland. and General III.
NJ. Tudor, commander Of the auxiliary
police force in Ireland, and Lord
Fitzalan, governor general of ireland,
suggests that Eamonn de Valera's
letter to Lloyd George raised the
question Of the release Of some in
termed Sim Fein leaders allowed
their freedom last week.
The Westminster Gazette. a staunch
home rule organ, warns de Valera
that there is in Downing street a
strong party" anxious to find in his
writing anything that would enable
them to say he refused the govern
ment offer. That was discredited in
official circles here today and the
impression was given that a hurried
calling Of the cabinet was due largely
to the premier's desire to reply to
Valera before the meeting of the re-
publica nparliament on Tuesday.

AUSTIN, Texas, August 13-
Speeding up Of legislative work so
far as appropriation bills are con-
cerned is marking. the close OF the
special session Of the Texas legis-
lature.
The judiciary appropriation mea-
sure was passed by both houses
early in the session. Then the house
finally passed the educational ap-
preparation bill, already passed by
its attention to and finally passed
the eleemosynary bill, already passed
by the senate. Important changes in
both these measures voted by the
house will call for a free conference
on them before they are sent to the
governor for his signature.
So far as free conference on the
eleemosynary measure is concerned
it is predicted that little time will be
consumed. Opportunity for consider
able delay, however, exists in action
of a free conference which tries to
make senate and house minds meet
on the educational bills variancess
However. few doubt but that agree
ment will be reached easily by next
Tuesday when the session comes to
an automatic close.
Both houses are working on the
departmental appropriation bill, the
last appropriation measure to be
considered
With the assembly getting well in
to this bill, there appears no reason
why all appropriation measures shall
not BE- acted upon IN plenty Of time
before adjournment AT the same
time. however, it is very doubtful
whether much legislation aside from
these measures will be acted upon
