Special Despatch to THE New York HERALD
New York Herald Bureau.
Washington, ID. G., Sept. 2.
Rent profteers in Washington who
became notable during the war have
in some instances undertaken to reap
a new and rich harvest from the forth
coming International Conference on
Armaments.
A specific case, regarded by officials
here as a fragrant case OF profiteering.
was brought before the Cabinet meeting
to-day. 1t was reported to the Cabinet
that the owner or agent for house
which had been offered for sale for $15.-
600. asked a rental of $4,000 a month
for the premises when an Embassy
sought them in connection with the
conference.
Administration officials were annoyed
by this and other instances OF similar
nature which have been reported. Every
possible effort is to be made by the Fed
eral Government to prevent the holdup
of delegations to the conference.
The State Department has detailed OF
flcials to aid in the housing OF official
NiSltOrS ana 10 see 10. IL tiiht LicS fS
ceive reasonable treatment from land
lords These officials, are cooperating
with embassies and legations which must
make their own arrangements.
1t was announced that the Navy
Building and temporary structures
erected in Washington for war purposes
would be turned over to the delegates and
their STATS for Office purposes. This will
greatly simplify the question of obtain
ing adequate office space for the thou
sands of experts and others who will ac-
company the accredited delegations and
the unofficial representatives sent by
many of the interested countries which
will not be principals In the primary con-
ference.
1t Is the desire OF the President and
members Of the Cabinet that Washing
ton receive the visiting guests with full
hearted hospitality and any EFFORT to
hold up the visitors will not be toler-
ated.
1t Is not believed any official action
will be taken, but public opinion is re-
led upon to shame those washington
landlords who would undertake to
proflteer at this time when the Capita
city has the honor of directly entertain
ing the nations guests. II Is expected
that IL other instances OF profiteerine
in rents come to the attention of Execu.
tive officials names will be mentioned
so that responsibility for shaming the
nations hospitality may be fixed.

BRITISH STILL HOPE
FOR IRISH SOLUTION
Barton's Presence With Lloyd
George Gives Grounds for
Optimism.

Special Cable to THE NEW York HERALD.
New York Herald Bureau.
London. Sept. 2.
Notwithstanding the unprecedented
move of Premier Lloyd George. in call
ing his Cabinet to the Scottish highlands
the Irish problem remains hopeful. Half
the Cabinet is already among the
heather, with the rest still in London.
A few ministers therefore will have to
make the long journey to Wednesday
Cabinet meeting in Gairlooh.
Dispatches from Inverness to-day tell
of the cheerful .neln of one of the Ihish
ENJOYS. McGrath. returning from Mr..
Lloyd Georges holiday retreat. The
other envoy, Robert c. Barton. "aristo-
crat of the Sim F'ein,' was induced to
make a visit with the Prime Minister'S
party.
This is interpreted here as hardly in
dicatfng that Mr.. de Valera's last note
creates anything like an impasse.
Dispatches from Dublin. however, tell
OF serious tension there, observers APP
parently fearing that the irish Republi-
can Cabinet may have promised more
than il can deliver. 1t is generally con-
sidered there. although no text Of the
republican reply will be available be-
fore Sunday. that conditions have been
imposed in connection with further ne
gotiations The talk tonight Is that
Mr.. de Valera proposed that "indepen-
dence for ireland be limited by treaty
