Mr.. Churchill asserted that The

land last Saturday struck directly
at the Anglo Irish treaty "No one
disputed that the wish of the
Irish people was reconcilia ton

certain that the Irish people will
not be able to say in an intelligi-
BILE way whether they will accept
or reject the treaty offered by
Great Britain, the Secretary said.
There is a rumor afloat in
London that the government con-

could not be traced to any solid
source.

The future status OF the Board

termined by an investigation to be
launched by the District Commits
sioners tomorrow. A committee
headed by Daniel Garges, Secretary
to the Commissioner. will visit
homes used by the Guardians and

heads.

tee will be composed of DR.. J. A.

one woman whose name has not
been announced, and q representa-
tive of the Board of Guardians.
Covers wide Territory.
A list of more than two hundred
homes in which children are board
ed by private families for the Board
Of Guardians Is in possession OF the
committse. While most of these
homes are in the District of Co
lumbia. a number are in Baltimore.
Herndon. Va, and other nearby
Maryland and Virginia towns.
Besides this list, the committee
has been supplied with data col
lected by Independent Investigators
Particular attention, It Is reported,
will be given to those homes in
which improper. unhealthy condi.
tions have been found.
While the Board of Guardians
will be represented on the commit
tee. il is said that this Is to enable
investigators to gain entrance To
the boarding homes. In view OF
the Guardians injunction to land
ladies not to admit visitors. the
Commissioners, IL Is declared. Will
not have their committee run the
risk of being turned away.
Present Reports Differ.
Dissatisfaction at the report sub
mitted by the Board of Charities
is given. as the reason for a special
investigation by the Commissioners
while the Charities report sets
forth "a temporary crowded condi-
tion in three homes" investigations
by the Congress of Mothers are said
to have revealed deplorable condi'
tions in a score of homes to which
the children have been sent.
The belief was expressed yester-
day that an agreement VIII be
reached as to future use Of the
Industrial Home School before COM
pletion of the Commissioners in
vestigation. The school, IL is
thought. will be run under joint
control by the Guardians and the
present Board of Trustees.
The investigation, It Is declared,

preparation of legislation to re-
organize charity bodies OF the Dis
trict. Mr.. Garges believes his com
mittee will have a report ready for
