Kings Speech Will
Refer to Ireland
lRx Associated Ptessl

Belfast, March 19-The kings
speech reopening the Ulster parlia-
ment tomorrow will refer to the sit
uation in Belfast created by the recent
outbreak of terrorism and will also
deal with the general position in
northern Ireland, it is learned.
The Ulster government plans sur
prise by giving notice of the intro
duction at an early date of drastic
bill for the repression of disorders
and crime. The measure would en-
power the authorities to take poss-
ession of premises from which sniping
occurred, and, if necessary to destroy
them.
The bill also would confer power
upon the authorities completely to
close and barricade danger spots from
which attacks have been made from
time to time with fatal consequences
The penalties for those found witt
arms or under circumstances which In
dicate clearly their participation il
sniping would be greatly increased
under the bill, and wider powers woul'
be given the police to allow promp
search and detection of offenders.

Washington, March 13-FavoraDle
report by the house ways and means
committee on the compromise sold
iers' bonus bill without any Important
change in provisions was regarded az
assured when the committee met TO-
day for final consideration of the mea-
sure. Although several commirtee
members were expected to vote
against the bill, the provision for Is
suance of adjusted compensation GER
tificates was said to command the sup
port of a safe majority as "satis-
factory compromise. The only amend
ment of consequence which appeared
probable, Chairman Fordney said, was
elimination of the requirement that
war veteran must decide within
six months which of the options pro-
vided in the bill he would accept.
There was believed to be little pro-
liability that Secretary Melons cr1ti-
cism of the bill in his letter to Chair
man Fordney would result in any at
|tempts at amendment or delay IN or
dering it reported. Expressing the
view that the measure as now drawn
involved "a dangerous abuse of gov
ernment credit" Secretary Mellon dis
approved the provision for bank loans
upon adjusted service certificates al
direct and "forced" borrowing by the
government. He contended that III

Placed
on Trial Third
Time Early Today
tBy Associated Pressp

San Francisco, CAL, March l3-
Roscoe (Fatty) Albuckle, film come
dian, today for the third time faced
trial on a charge of manslaughter IN
connection with the death OF MISS
Virginia Rappe, film actress, who died
after a party in Arbuckle's suite at
the hotel st. Francis, Labor day last
year.
Arbuckle arrived yesterday from
Los Angeles and spent most OF the
dav in conference with his counsel.
Evidence OF offered at either OF the
preceding trials is promised by booh
defense and prosecution. The jury in
the first trial voted 10 to 2 for acqul-
tai while the count was reversed al
the second trial, being 10 TO TO,
conviction.
Doubt was expressed today in the
corridors outside Superior Judge Har
Glad Louderbach's court whether th'
panel of 65 prospective purors woult
be sufficient to provide a jury. A
the second trial, seventy were exami
ned before the jury box finally wa
filled.
The trial probably will procee'
without the presence of Miss Ze.
Provost, star witness for the prosecu
ton at the preceding hearings. Sh

trial and has been reported living il

From Berlin
(By Associated Press)

London, March 13-Tlthough Amer
ica's claim to priority of payment for
the upkeep of the United States army
in the Rhineland has been featured
in the news columns, the first extend
ed comment appeared only today.
The Daily Chronicle, under the cap
ton: "America's bombshell,' says:
"Intrinsically the claim is not unrea-
sonable, and if the practical effect is
to make some of our continental
friends less Jealous to prolong the
occupation of German soil this would
be quite as much to The taste Of Brit
ish public opinion as to American"
The newspaper admits it may be
urged that as the United States is
not participating in the treaty OF Ver-
sailles, it has no claim to money col
lected under that treaty and that the
more correct course would have been
to claim it direct from Berlin under
its own treaty, but thinks the fac'
that America undertook the Rhine oc'
icupation jointly with the allies docs
give her some moral claim for JONI
Reimbursement"
The Westminster Gazette using TN

Paris, March 13.-The work OF
returning to the United States the
bodies of American soldiers who died
in France was completed today with
a final shipment of 1900 bodies from
grest for New York. This brings
the total number of American bodies

completion of the task marks the
close of one of the most trying and
difficult problems ever placed be-
fore the American army. The Amer
ican graves registration service, the
special branch of the army organized
for the purpose, began work in Feb
ruary, 1920.
Agents of that service will now go
to England and assemble 81 Amerl-
can bodies destined for shipment to
America. These were American SOL
diers who died in widely-scattered
parts of Ireland, Scotland, Wales
and England. Five hundred other
lbodies of Americans whose relatives
have decided to leave them in Eng
