$25, 900 Lost Gems
Found Under Mattress
Discovery at Atlantic City's Ritz
Carlton Ends the Police
Search i'm Three Cities

ATLANTIC CITY, July s.-Jewelry
valued at $4,000, for which Mrs.
Thomas Lewis, of Wilkes Barre, Pa,
had the police of three cities search
ing, was found to-day under q mattress
in room at the Ritz Carlton Hotel
here which Mrs. Lewis occupied during
the Fourth of July holidays.
She did not miss the jewelry, which
consisted of a string of pearls and sew
eral diamond rings, until she reached
her home in Wilkes Barre, and remem-
bered only that she had put it in a
chamois bag before leaving the hotel.
Relieving that train thieves had got it,
she informed the Wilkes-Bar police,
who set the police Of Philadelphia and
Atlantic City to work also.
Although a cursory examination of
Mrs. Lewis's room at the hotel, which
was made as soon as news of the sup
posed theft was received, failed to re-
veal the Jewelry, more careful search
which was made to-day resulted in the
discovery of the channels bag and it's
contents.

From The Tribn,,e's Washinoton Bureau
WASHINGTON, July S.-Protesting
against the contemplated discrimina-
tory action by the Chinese government
against the Federal Telegraph Com
pany, an American concern, which had
contract to erect wireless stations in
China, the United States has informed
the Chinese Minister here that mono
polistic or preferential rights to any
citizens cannot be reconciled with the
treaty rights Of American citizens in
China or with the principle of the
open door.
The concessions Of the Federal Tele-
graph Company were protested against
by the British, japanese and Danish
governments. which sought to control
radio communications in the Chinese
nation. The Picking government had
temporarily withdrawn the contract
with the American wireless company
Minister SEE addressed the State De-
partment on June 8 in behalf of his
government, asking if the United
States contemplated withdrawing it's
support of the company in view of
these protests.
Under date of July l Secretary Of
State Hughes informed the Chinese
Minister that this government would
not withdraw it's support of the Fed
eral Telegraph Company and strongly
opposed the granting by the Chinese
government of preferential rights to
the citizens of any nation. In his note
Secretary Hughes said:
Il have the honorsto acknowledge the
receipt of your note of June 9, and in
reply assure you that it is not the in
teption of this government to withdraw
from the position hitherto taken by it
in support of the rights accruing to the
Federal Telegraph Company under the
contract Of January s last. In it's view.
the communications which it has re-
ceived from the other interested gov
ernments, in reply to its inquiries as
to the reasons for their protests to the
Chinese authorities against this con-
tract, tend only to confirm this gov
eminent in it's belief that the adverse
claims which have been urged as ex-
Guiding the Federal Telegraph Com
pany from participating with the
Chinese government in establishing
wireless communications are founded
upon assertions of monopolistic or
preferential rights in the field of
Chinese governmental enterprise, which
cannot be reconciled either with the
treaty rights of American citizens in
China or with the principle of the open
door.
"Your reference to the principle of
the open door affords me the oppor-

Draft Of Peace
Proclamation
Before Cabinet
Daugherty Submits Rough
Sketch of Document, but
Some Legal Points Still
Remain To Be Settled
Haste Held Unnecessary
Harding Confident Tax Bill
Repeating Excess Profits
Will Pass This Session

From The I'ribune's Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, July s. - Attorney
General Daugherty submitted rough
draft of the proclamation establishing
peace with Germany and Austria to the
Presidents Cabinet at its meeting to-
day. Several legal points involved
were not covered in the draft, it was
said, and although the President and
members of his Cabinet are agreed
upon these details, it will be several
days before the completed proclama-
ton will be ready for signing.
No decision was reached at the meet
ing as to whether it was necessary for
the President to issue a&speace proc
lamation. Some feel that such proc
lamatior is necessary to repea; the
wartime acts giving sweeping powers
to the President. The members of the
Cabinet are generally agreed, however,
that as far as the termination Of the
state Of war is concerned no such docu-
ment is necessary. They regard the
in that respect.
Certainty that taxation bill carry
ing with 1T repeal Of the excess profits
tax would be put through at the pres
ent session of Congress was expressed
at tho White House following the
Cabinet meeting. The Presidents feels
"rot the slightest doubt" that tax re-
vieion will be effected by the present
Congress. He indicated to his advisers
that, so far as he is concerned, he is
interested only in Congress accomplish
ing the things it was called into session
to do, namely, tariff and tax legsla-
ton, and that he felt reasonably sure
that such legislation would be put
through.
The tightening OF domestic burdens.
such as relief for the cotton growers
and the livestock industry, was taken
up also by the Cabinet.
Optimistic reports were made con-
corning the success of the S50,000,o00
livestock pool formed recently by
Western bankers for the relief of the
embarrassing industry. The Federal
Reserve Board has given it's sanction
to plan whereby livestock paper will
be rediscounted at Federal Reserve
banks. This will eliminate making
eligible participation certificates rep
resenting loans made by the pool which
bankers baked at as setting dam
gerous precedent
The War Finance Corporation was
reported as having worked out plan
to extend credits to the cotton growers
in the South. who have been hard
pressed financially for many months.
1t is understood that the President
touched upon the legislative situation
and outlined briefly the result of his
personal call at the Senate Thursday,
when he took luncheon with number
of Senators and discussed legislation.

even though it may be only temporary
We have great faith in the good judg-
ment Of Mr.. De Valera and believe
that, in view of the intercession of
Premier SHUTS and the conferences
that already have been held, there is
q great deal to be hoped for from the
final conferences with Lloyd George.
Personally, believe that whatever
satisfies the desires of our people in
Ireland ought to satisfy every Amer
lean who has sympathized with the
Irish cause and that no compliant ought
to be made on this side should no
complaint come from over there.
"The desire expressed by Mr.. De
OF the people he represents. 1t looks
as though the situation only needed
the touch of a sympathetic hand. That
hand has come out of South Africa.
"The people of Ireland, both Union
lists and Republicans, desire peace with
each other. There is a very small
element that it will be difficult to set
tie with, but / am sure that interces-
sion will bring those people to realize
that whatever is agreed upon as r.
solution should be concurred in by all"
Many New York leaders in the cause
OF ireland were reported last night to
ne IN Washington and Philadelphia at
tending meetings especially called to
consider matters of Irish interest.
The meeting in Washington, it was
said, was being held in the Offices. Of
the Irish embassy" 842 Munsey Build
ing, and the Philadelphia meeting, it
was said, would take place either in
the office of The Irish Press, a news
paper, or at the home of DR.. Patrick
McCartan, an American patriot.
-. Besides the representatives of the
Irish republic" it was said, the meet
ingss were being attended by repre-
sentatives of all the more prominent
Irish societies.

spite alleged protecting clauses, is lev
eled at the United States.
1t has been pointed out also that
Great Britain with the alliance re-
newed, in the very nature of things,
could not have representatives at any
conference on Far Eastern questions
take an unprecedented view of any stu
alton which might arise. Of necessity,
1t has been stated, her representatives
must pay certain amount of defer
ence to the wishes of her ally.
In some of these conversations the
point is understood to have been made
that even at conference, such as
suggested by Lloyd George, between
Britain, Japan, the United States and
China, the British representatives
would not act on their Independent
judgment, or that of their foreign
office, to the same untrammeled extent
that they would were there no alliance
between Great Britain and Japan.

fact. the terms virtually amount to
the status quo ante-bellum in regard
to Turkey, both in Europe and In Asia
Minor.
Mustapha Kemnl's message, accord
ing to officials here, completely dis
torts the facts regarding a proposed
meeting with General Harrington,
commander Of the Allied forces in
Constantinople, the Nationalist leader
saying he is willing TO accept "the
British suggestion for a meeting"
whereas no such suggestion has ever
been made by the British. Mustapha
Kemal also states he is willing to ne
gotiate, whereas the fact is that by
agreement between the Allies strict
instructions were sent to General Har-
rington that he was not to negotiate,
but only to hear the Nationalist lead

PARIS, July 8.-Premier BRAND won
his fight in the Chamber of Deputies
against the enemies who sought to
force vote of confidence in the gov
eminent as a result of the failure of
the Industrial Bank of China. The
Premier three times mounted the trib-
nne in his own defense and succeeded
in blocking prolonged debate on his
policy by telling the Chamber of the
governments plans for bolstering the
bank and salvaging French prestige in
the Orient.
The debate, however, went on for an
hour and developed few exciting mo-
ments when the Premier's enemies
tried to gain the upper hand by par
,llamentary jockeying. Their efforts to
Keep the subject alive, however, were
futile and the vote to close debate ON
the subject stood 385 to 2O7. This anti
government vote is the largest yet

Valera declared his intention to enter
into a conference with the British
government and to order the cessation

STf General Macready's presence at the
conference has additional significance,

that the military evacuation of Ireland
is under consideration. This, it is re-
called, has been advocated by many

Macready's attendance at the Dublin

with Sir Robert Stevenson Horne, Chan

Turkish Leaders Terms
Impossible, British Say

LONDON, July 8 (By The Asso-

leader of the Turkish Nationalist, has
sent a note to the British Foreign
Office, saying he is willing to nego-
tate the Near East situation, but ha
imposes what are characterized in of
fetal circles here as arrogant and i'm
possible terms.
His terms include complete Turkish
control of Constantinople and the
