North ireland Parliament Votes to
Keep Out Of the New Irish
Republic.

Belfast, Dec. 7. (By the Associated
press). Premier Sir James Craig, ac-
companied by the Marquis Of London
derry, leader Of the Senate, and Col.
Spender, secretary of the Utter cabi-
net. started for London tonight, bear
ing an address to the king contracting
Ulster ont of the Irish Free State.
The address was voted unanimously
by both houses of the Ulster parl a.
ment today, and so rapid were the
proceedings that the entire business
was completed in les than half an
In the course OF his explanatory
speech In the House of Commons,
Premier Craig declared it was useless
to hold ont any present hopes that Ul-
,ster would go under the Dublin parlia-
ment. and added that the moment such
a question arose he would refuse to
remain premier The only possible
course, to secure happiness in Ireland
was for the North and South each to
go its own way.
The preniier's whole attitude was
against any accoinmodat on with the
south. He said the northern parlia-
ment would have nothing whatever to
do with the boundary commission, pro-
vided for under an agreement which
ne described as a bargain entered into
by the wrong people behind the back
OF the northern government.
He insisted however, that nothing
could be done In the way of bringing
an amending act through the British
House Of Commons because thanks
largely to the Ulster delegation which
went through the British constituen
cies prior to the election they haC
secured majority for Ulster In th'
British House of Commons whicl
would refuse to carry such an act

w. H. Moran. chief OF the secret
service. told the House appropriations
committee at recent hearings.
I'VE are just now very greatly
troubled with some counterfeit bills
of fair workmanship In the eastern
part of the country" said Moran,
much of which IL being used in the
purchase OF bootleg whisky; 1t is be-
Ing done to a considerable extent
on the Canadian border, the counter
feiter is defrauding the people on the
other side OF the border In the pur-
chase OF whisky, which he seeks to
bring across"
Illustrating the general use to
which the spurious money is put.
Moran mentioned two cases brought
to his attention where 1900 Of
counterfeit $50 and $50 federal re-
serve notes and $1,000 In raised fed.
eral reserve notes were paid for
liquor for smuggling, The Canadian
authorities, he added, were putting
forth every effort TO suppress It.
Moran said that much counterfeit
money was being passed to ships that
bring In liquor in violation OF law.
Il am getting information from
various sections OF the globe that
these same counterfeits are being
put In circulation at ports abroad
he declared. That would indicate
they we're put into the hands of
sailors and crews OF ships"
The secret service, he added, had
had more different counterfeit issues
In the last year than. In the two
years previously.
"The business is more intensive
than have ever known" he said,
"and the trouble for us Is that one
volator OF the law places the coun.
terfeit In the hands OF another viola.
tor. and the latter tries to palm II
off on the innocent"

WHEAT JUST SHORT
OF $3.50 BU. MARK
Chicago Market Gets Impetus
From Fresh Signs of
EurOpe's Needs.

CHICAGO, Feb. 27.-Wheat ran up in
price to within sc. OF S1.5o bushel
to-day. barely missing the height which
for months has been the ambition Of
bulls. Fresh signs of European need OF
breadstuffs gave the impetus. but the
rise tempted heavy profit taking sales
and the market reacted. closing un-
settled at 1c. net decline to 14c. advance,
with May S1.47@147ss and July SIPS
@1.25tz. Corn finished X Ole off, oats
at shade decline 10 Il a Ac. gain and
provisions up 15@40c
At first wheat showed a scarcity Of
offerings and there was a decided jump
in values, mainly because of sharply
higher quotations in Liverpool. 1t was
figured that, taken in connection with
an advance in sterling exchange, the ac-
tual market price OF wheat at Liverpool
to-day was SIC a bushel higher in
American money than was the case Sat
urday. As the price here, however. ap-
preached $3.50 the volume of selling
broadened to an unusual extent, causing
prices to recede. Reports of snowstorms
in the Southwest tended further to ease
the market in the late dealings. A de-
crease of $4,000 bushels in the visible
supply attracted little attention.
Corn and oats rose with wheat to new
high price records. On the other hand
export call for corn was laggard, and
when wheat turned weak corn, too, gave
way.
Provisions reflected the strength Of
the hog market. Highest prices yet this
season were touched by lard.
