"The membership Of the District

I'VE are wondering II you could
assign us to the families where
there has been some military or

FEDERAL PROBE OF TERRIBLE TRAGEDY TO START AT ONCE; 108 DEAD IS TOLL OF CAPIT0L'S AWFUL THEATRE COLLAPSE
HARDING ADVISES DISAPPOINTMENT OF
 OHIO BANQUET

Washington. Jan. 3o-At the sug- 8estion of President Harding the an- nual banquet and reception of the Ohio Society scheduled to take place tonight, has been indefinitely post poned on account of the Knicker- booker disaster. President and Mrs. Harding were to be the guests of honor and more than 400 persons had planned to attend the affair
 In letter to Milton B. Allies, chair man of the committee, President Harding said:
 tTWhile I have looked forward with most agreeable anticipation to the re- ception to be given tonight by the Ohio Society, which we were to meet and happily recall the memory of the late President Mckinley, I cannot but feel that we would best answer all our inclinations if the reception were postponed. There is so much of grief in Washington today, so much of sor- row attending the Knickerbocker theatre disaster, that I should prefer to omit a social affair while Washing ton is suffering from the great shock.
 'It is especially becoming, as you have suggested, to have the Ohio Society take note of it's own parti- cular share in the great sorrow, and the cancellation i'll be a befitting ex- presston of the grief which has come through accident and death to mem bers and valued friends of the society.

British Evacuation
 Proceeding Speedily
Irish People Make No Manifestation Of Joy Or Re- gret As Troops Leave For England = Many Detachments Cross Border To Ulster

Dublin, Jan. so-(By the A. P)- British evacuation of Ireland is pro- ceeding more speedily than was an- ticipated.
 Each day sees large batch of troops leave Dublin and other ports. Departure of the Dublin garrison is due to begin thisa week and news papers are speculating as to how the vacated barracks will be used. It is suggested they may be employed to relieve the housing shortage. Five large barracks will be abailab1e in Dublin and it is argued that at a comparatively small expenditure they may be converted into workmen's dwellings
 Throughout Ireland similar build ings are falling under control of the new Irish government and some may be needed for the new Irish army, although nothing has yet been decid- ed in regard to the size of that body It is taken for granted that it will be established promptly and green uni forms are being manufactured in Dublin on. a large scale
 It is noteworthy that the evacua- ton of the British has occurred everywhere without manifestation

whatever from the people; there has been no sign either of popular re- joicing or regret.
 The task is now entirely committed to the provisional government and the Republican army has acted ener- getically in parts of Tipperary where the lawIess element seemed about to get out of hand Martial law was proclaimed and serious penalties threatened for the unauthorized car rying Of arms. The army authorities even imposed a rigid curfew law, compelling everybody to remain in- doors after 8 o'clock in the evening. People who bitterly resented the British curfew law as a mark Of sub jugation have welcomed the Repub- .iican curfew as one imposed by their own represent for the protec- ton of the public.
 Although the evacuation of British troops is to be complete. it is only from southern Ireland. For the pur- poses of the. treaty in this respect, northern Ireland counts as though it were England and accordingly large bodies of troops are fulfilling the promise to evacuate simply by march ing across the border into Ulster.
