DALI MAY VOTE ON
 TREATY THIS WEEK
Ratification Believed Certain, But Majority Expected
 to Be Small
By Associated Pres,

Dublin, January 3.-The Dail Eireann reassembled today to take what it is hoped will be, final action on the Irish treaty. At the close of the session the impression prevailed that ratification was certain, but that the majority would be small.
 Since the proceedings began the rule has been for speakers for and against the treaty to be heard alter uateiy, and up to the present 1t has not been found necessary to break this rule. so evenly is the Parliament divided, and 1t is probable win be followed to the end. The pace Is quickening somewhat, however, for while four speakers occupied the en- tire morning, 10 were heard in the afternoon and there Is some hope of the debate terminating Thursday or Friday
 Frequent attempts are being made to hasten the decision, either by hm- iting the length of the speeches or by a cloture motion, but thus far the leaders on both sides have not been able to reach any agreement on the matter.
 Speeches were more frequently in terrupted today than on any previ- ous day. Michael Collins, in particu lar, persisted in interjections of a challenging nature.

STATE ID ANALYzE LIQUOR SUSPECTED co.'S::;ss ! 7: MING POISON
.drder Indictments Against BootleggerS Selling Death Bringing Whisky Is
 Goal of State
By FRED Fl. GoRMLEY Montgomery Bureau, The ASe-Herafd Z2f-2 First National Bank Building

Montgomery, January 3.-(Spe- ial.)-Harwell c. Davis, attorney general, has written letters to all solicitors requesting that charges of murder be brought against every person who sells liquor containing poisons and who is responsible for the deaths of any persons in the state. His instructions reulted from the death of Clyde Smith in Blount county and the arrest of the person who is alleged to have sold the liqour.
 Attorney General Davis also an nounced today that his department proposes to bear the cost of analysing liquor which Is suspected of causing the deaths of human beings and the cost of making proper investigations of the deaths of persons who have taken liquor.
 Following the death of Smith an analysis of the liquor showed the presence of 6 .69 per cent of wood all cohol, which had accumulated dur ing the manufacture of the liquor. The physician reported that Smith died from taking a poison and that every indication was that death re- suited from the liquor. When the chemical report was received the person who is charged with the mak- ing of the liquor was placed in the Blount county jail on a charge of murder.
 Attorney General Davis said it is not proposed to show more leniency in such cases where violations of the prohibition laws are charged, but in every case where a death results from the sale of poisonous liquor the chief fsterest of the states legal de- partmeft will be centered about the prosecution of offenders on, indiet- ments of murder.

 The premier heading the French delegation 10 the council meeting. with Minister of Liberated Regions Loucheur. NJ. Laroche of the French foreign office and several experts, left for Cannes this afternoon.
 The French delegations feels that all other subsidiary matters should be shelved. believing that if both of the above questions are settled satis- faetorily the conference will be 6 success indeed.
