Possibility of Breakdown of

London, May 30.
With the Ulster border ablaze and
partisanship flaming within Dublin it
self. the English and Irish conferees
in London are gravely silent. "It is no
worse than yesterday" was the only
word from Downing Street But the
possibility of breakdown of the en-
tire Irish peace movement is closer
expected that when Winston Churchill,
Colonial Secretary, makes his state
ment in the House Of Commons to-
morrow he will offer some grounds
reached, but he will warn Parliament
that the situation is extremely grave.
Derby Day may see the Cabinet
meeting and taking grave decisions
with regard to Ireland. 1t is even
possible that Austen Chamberlain may
withhold the adjournment motion for
the House of Commons over Whit
suntide to obtain authorization for the
resumption of strong hand policy in
ireland, which Premier Lloyd George
abandoned more than year ago.
Lloyd George Opposes Force.
The Prime Minister himself is re-
ported to be opposed to this plan, but
the continued renewal of disturbances
in Ireland are placing powerful argu-
ments In the hands Of his conservative
supporters. Though Downing Street
steadily refuses to discuss the Anglo
Irish conference and though the Irish
negotiators are denying themselves even
to personal friends the report is widely
circulated that the Crown law officers
declare that the pact between Collins
and DE Valera for an election and a
coalition government Is a violation of
the treaty.
This is not the view taken by the
political members of the Cabinet. who
are reported still to believe that the
pact can be made to conform to the
treaty. Political opinion in the Cabi-
net is still split over Ulster, but the
Strabare and other incidents are
hardening opinion in favor of strong
measures against Republican aggression
there as instanced by the questions
asked in the House of Commons to-
night
Griffith and Collins held an interview
of grave import lasting an hour with
Premier Lloyd George this morning be-
fore the Cabinet meeting, and through
out the afternoon remained at their
hotel awaiting a summons for further
conference which never came. But there
IS no lack of informal communications
between Downing Street and the Irish
conferees and every method possible is
being explored on both sides to reach a
settlement.

 When Mir. Rowell was awakened by the roar of the flames and the house was sblaze all over. lie found ms escape from the burning building cut off as the flames we're between him and the stairway leading to the ground floor He knocked out the window sash in the room and he and his wife and son escaped by way or the roof over the front porch and leaping to the ground They were in their night clothes as they had no time to dress.
 The two daughters of Mir Rowell undoubtedly owe their escape from horrible death to the fact that they went to movie show last night and had not returned home, as the nre evidently originated in their room and tho roof was falling in when Mir Rowell was awakened.
 Nothing was saved rom the build ing except the clothing worn by the two daughters and the night clothes of the parents and son.
 The house belonged to J. Y. Bayne and the loss is about s1.500, partly covered by insurance.
 Mir. Powell was an employee of the Gadsden Car work and his son is messenger boy for the Western Union in Gadsden.
