Enemies of Lloyd George Make
Irish Crisis Weapon.
Free State Bill for Ireland May
Not Pass.

London, Feb. 15.-Threats of revo-
luton and civil war in Ireland are
being utilized by political enemies of
Premier Lloyd George in efforts to
overthrow the Coalition government.
the British cabinet is co-operatins
with the Irish provisional government
at Dublin to restore tranquility, along
the Ulster border and prevent future
outbreaks.
Il have every reason to believe that
the evacuation of British troops from
Ireland will be resumed and will
speedily be completed said Michael
Collins, minister of finance in the
Dublin government, after an inter-
view with Colonial Secretary Winston
Churchill at noon.
I'VE believe we can cope with the
situation. I am going back to Ire
land tonight"
The flying trip of Collins to London
was believed by his friends to have
done considerable good. Collins
feared that if the orders cancelling
evacuation of the British troops from
Ireland were continued in force, they
would weaken the powers of the pro-
visional government.
For the first time 1t was admitted
in Downing street circles this after
noon that the free state bill (confer-
ring the powers of the Anglo-Irish
treaty upon the DuDln gOVernme enCl }
may not pass the house of commons.
The opinion was expressed that the
fate of the bill would depend on con-
ditions in Ireland when the vote is
taken at the end of this week
The future of the Lloyd George
ministry hangs upon the fate of this
measure. If commons votes down the
bill, the premier will resign at once
If the bill is passed by only a small
majority, it is expected that the pre-
mier will call a general election.

sSSKS LIGHT ON TREATY ROW
Senator Hitchcock Wants All Forms of
4-Power Plan From President.

Washington, Feb. 15.-A resolution
requesting President Harding to fur
nish the senate If not incompatible
with the public interests, all drafts or
forms of the four-power Pacific treaty
presented to or considered by the
American, British, French and Japa-
nese delegates to the armament con-
ference, was offered in the senate to-
day by Senator Hitchcock, of Ne
braska, ranking Democratic member
of the senate foreign relations COM
mittee.
Hitchcock said that 1t was a matter
of common knowledge that there had
been open and notorious disagree
ment between the president and the
secretary of state as to the meaning
of the treaty and that he believed the
senate should be fully informed re-
garding all the conditions and circum-
stances surrounding it before being
called upon to ratfy it.

HOPKINS OUT OF IT
Attorney General VIII Not En-
ter GOVernOrship Fight.
Administration Forces viii Not
Be Divided, 1t Is Said.
LOOK NOW TO GOV. ALLEN
Hopkins May Enter Race for
the Supreme Court.
Being Talked of to Oppose JUS
tice SilaS Porter.
LOOK NOW TO GOV. ALLEN
Exit Richard ]. Hopkins.

ELAAl I1Oph4ilSs
: The attorney general is out of the
governorship fight. State house gos-
sip today is to the effect that he has
been given the air by administration
leaders. Hopkins's apparently fiat
retirement tends to confirm the feel
ing that Governor Allen will stay in
the race for a third term.
1t is apparent that administration
forces will not be divided in the gov
ernorship contest. The conference in
Topeka Monday night witnessed the
withdrawal of Clyde NJ. Reed from the
race. 1t drew from Governor Allen a
promise to consider making a third
term fight. Effect of the same meet
ing, either directly or indirectly has
been to eliminate Hopkins.
May Seek Place in Supreme Court.
While Hopkins has been lifted from
the goNernorship he doesn't propose
ito retire TO private life if he can help
it. 1t now looks as tho Hopkins will
make announcement in a few days to
the effect that he will seek a place
on the supreme bench. He will likely
oppose Justice Silas Porter, one of the
strong members of the court.
When the circuit judgeship was un-
der consideration sometime ago Hop
kins was mentioned as a possible sue
cessor to Judge Pollock in event the
district judge was appointed to sue
ceed the late Judge Hook. According
to reports one of Hopkins's real plans
was to win the appointment to the
supreme bench to succeed Justice
Rousseau A. Burch in event Justice
Burch was given Judge Pollock's job.
In the present situation Hopkins is
seemingly in the hands of his friends.
Up to date his friends have shifted
his plans several times. Their latest
and possibly final plan-is to put
him in the primary campaign as a
candidate for the supreme bench.

Unforeseen circumstances may cause

Says Brunette Could Not
Haze Killed Vim. Taylor
Must Haze Been Blonde
Light Haired Jealousy Mad Assassness Would Not Have
Had the Nerve to Look Victim in Face and Kill
Him. Declares Psycho-AnaIyst

New York, Feb. 15.-If a woman
killed William Desmond Taylor, she
was a blonde, according to Andre
Tridon, famous French psyche analyst.
Blonde women have less courage
than their darker sisters, Tridon de-
clared today.
"A dark woman would never have
shot Taylor in the back" said the
scientist.
''She would have killed him as she
stood face TO face with him A
blonde would shoot him in the back.
That's because she has less nerve than
the dark woman. Also she is less
violent"
Tridon expressed the theory that a
woman did the killing
Taylor was a man with many
women in his life" said the noted
psychoanalyst- in my opinion, a
woman killed him in jealous huff"

said Tidon. Scientifically, it is called
the adrenal gland.

than in the brunette, consequently. she

Sc if a man killed Taylor, we may
reasonably be certain that he was a
blonde"
1t was called to Tridon's attention
that Taylor was spoken of as quiet
man.
'fWhy do quiet men attract wo-
men ." he was asked.
For the simple reason that they
don't talk" the psyche analyst ans
wered.
They keep quiet about their heart
affairs and when they have several
women in their lives, never tell one
about the. other

Graebner Making
Strong Campaign
Candidate for District

Fine Support

George j. Graebner, one of the first
to announce his candidacy for the Of
flee of district attorney. is a Milwau-
kean, born and bred, educated in the
Milwaukee schools and graduate of
the University of Wiscinsin's law coll
lege. For thirteen years he has prac-
ticed law in Milwaukee, his only in
terruption in practice being when he
closed his office in the First Wiscon-
sin National bank building, and quail
flied for service overseas, although he
was exempt,
He was not satisfied to be commits
stoned judge advocate in the Wiscon-
sin National guard, but wanted active
service and won a commission as lieu
tenant after attending the officers
training camp at Camp Dodge, la.
Everyone knows or knows of the
Graebner family. for w. H. Graeb-
ner, father Of the Republican candi-
date, was a former city treasurer and
for fourteen years a member of the
state board of control. He is also an
active member of many state Luther
an associations. and acting head of
the Badger Mutual Fire Insurance
company. Like his father, Young
Graebner has always been the friend
of the colored people.
Mr.. Graebners platform is concise
and consistent. He is emphatic in
his statement as to the fundamental
principles that should guide a person
entrusted with the office of district
attorney He considers the following
absolutely necessary qualities:
That the incumbent should prose-
cute fairly and impartially; should
apply to the diversified problems con
| fronting him day by day the ability
to exercise sound discretion and good
judgment; should at all times be
courteous and patient: should follow
implicitly the dictates of conscience
that seeks only for justice for all and
the adequate protection of the com
munity.
MIR. Graebner also believes that the

attorneys Office should serve only two
terms, such as was done in the terms
of w. H. Bennett and Francis e. Nc

Between 1000 and 5000 names
have been signed to Mr.. Graebners
nomination papers, though the law
only demands 22O0, the excess prov
! ing Mr.. Graebner's popularity in his
own city and county. He was the
first candidate for the office to file his

ment is now on foot to provide a Sc
