No IRISH PEACE
ATTAINED, BUT
TRUCE MAY LAG
Committee Ends Con-
ference of Days in
Gloomy Outlook.

Dublin. May 9.-(By the Associated
Press THE peace committee which
has been engaged for some days in an
endeavor to find way by which to
settle the discordant situation In Ire
land, concluded deliberations Tuesday
night and will report to the Dali
Eireann Wednesday.
The official statement announcing
the conclusion of the sessions does not
give any details of the decision arrived
at but the feeling in Dublin was not
optimistic regarding a settlement Of
the trouble.
London, May 10.--A dispatch to the
Times from Dublin pictures the out
look for an agreement by the peacs
conference as rather hopeless. It says
that, as far as could be learned, the
two parties to the conference are as
far from agreement as ever. The re-
publicans seem to have shown little
disposition to compromise either the
political or military aspects of the dis
pute. and there would be no surprises
If the committee announces the failure
of the negotiations.
The dispatch adds that q breakdown
in the negotiations would not neces-
sarily Immediately terminate the truce,
and says it is even suggested that a
new committee to deal with the situa-
ton might be appointed forthwith.

HOUSE SNAR[S
At WAR FRAUDS
PROSECUTION
Daugherty Accused of
Intent to Smother In
vestigation Voted.
Republican Says He'll
! Have Him Inpeached
IfHe Loses Case.

Washington, May 9.-In a detailed
statement concerning the prosecution
of war fraud cases. prepared at the
request of the president, and trans
mitted to the house. Attorney General
Daugherty declared that examinations
SO far completed disclosed in each in
stance sufficient indication that a
crime has been committed to warrant
submitting them to grand jury"
Presented on the eve of a republican
caucus, called to consider legislative
program including a republican reso-
luton for investigation of charges of
alleged laxity in prosecutions by the
department of justice, the attorney
generals letter provoked partisan
row, in which Representative Garrett,
the democratic leader, broadly intimat-
ed that it was intended to smother the
proposed investigation.
Wants Lincoln Case Fought
Representative Mondell, the repub-
llcan leader, to whom Mr.. Daughertys
letter was sent by the president, did not
indicate in reply to question on the
floor as to whether it meant the reso-
lution-already given privileged status
by the rules committee--never would
be heard from again.
Taking issue with the attorney gen
eral, Representative Woodruff. repub-
lican, Michigan, declared the former
was requested six months ago to ap-
peal to congress for half million dol
lars to clear up bis war time docket,
and that he never acted until republic
ans had assailed the department in the
house. Mr.. Woodruff reiterated that,
unless the attorney general allowed the
courts to decide the pending case
against the Lincoln Motor company "on
its merits, II will move his impeach-
ment in the house of representatives"
Daugherty Hints at Big Scandal
The Michigan member asserted that
q member OF congress could not 'face
the country in an election unless it
clears up war fraud cases, which smell
to high heaven"
Charging that little or nothing"

1T was terrible thing, the attorney |
general said, to charge a citizen with |
