RETURN PIKE COUNTY
FARMER, ACCUSED OF
MURDER, FOR ACTION
(Bv Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, Ind, Feb. I'll
Ohio Dorsey, Pike county farmer, who
is accused of killing Turner Willis and
Lutte Bement, was returned to the
Pike county jail here today.
Dorsey was brought here last week
because it was feared by the sheriff
that violence against the alleged slay-
er, would be attempted by the citizens
of Petersburg, where the Pike county
Jail is located
Dorsey is said to have killed the
men while they were at work in a
woods near Petersburg. During the
time he was incarcerated in the jail
here Sheriff Faith was unsuccessful in
breaking down his statement that he
did not commit the crime
When questioned as to the blood
spots which the authorities of Pike
county were said to have found on
his clothing, Dorsey did not account
for them. The Pike county grand jury
was in session today and it was be-
lieved that they would take some ac-
tion in the case

OF SINN
FEIN is URGED
BY De VALERA
Apparently Regarding Break
as Inevitable, Fiery Leader
Advocates Division at Con-
vention of Party.
ADVANTAGE
(Rv Associated Pressl

DUBLIN, Ireland. Feb. 21.-Eamon
DeValera apparently regarding a split
of the Sim Fein party as inevitable,
openly advocated such a division in
addressing the Ard Fheis, the national
Sim Fein convention at its extraor-
dinary session today saying it would
be better for Ireland to have two
armies each ready to assist the other
if the country were imperilled. rather
than one army divided within itself.
Mr.. DeValera's speech was the out
standing feature of the session which
had only begun discussion of the
party's future policy when the lunch
con adjournment was taken at 10: 40
o'clock until o'clock in the afternoon.
The strength of the new provisional
governments support among the Sim
Fein clubs of Ireland, is expected to
be clearly defined by the Ard Fheis.
The followers of Eamon De Valera
hope to show that the majority is not
in favor of the Free State by moving
a resolution pledging adherence to the
spirit and letter of the constitution
adopted by the Ard Fheis in 1917,
which provides continuance of the
struggle to secure international rec
ognition of Ireland as an Independent
republic"
Nothing has developed to indicate
more clearly than heretofore the divi-
sion of sentiment among the 1852
accredited delegates on Mr.. De Va
lera's resolution and Mr.. Arthur Grif-
fith's amendment, and the bulk of the
opinion still holds that the majority
either way will be very small. The
Griffith amendment will propose that
the Ard Fheis support the action of
the Dali Eireann in approving the
Anglo-Irish treaty.
Goes to People
Whatever the outcome, the question
, of acceptance of the treaty must ulti-
mately be submitted to the people
through a general election, and the
treaty party processes confidence in
the outcome.
Dublin last night was thronged
with delegates from all quarters Of
| the country. The supporters of Grif-
fifth and Collins appeared confident
| the Ard Fheis would reflect the senti
ment of the country in favor of the
| treaty.
"The delegates of the six counties
area of Ulster held a meeting in the
Mansion house last evening for the
purpose of arriving at a common pol
| icy which would bind all participants
! In the proceedings. A decision to vote
enbloc was apparently not reached.

Paris Sufragists'
Votes for Women
Cry Defes Police
After Permit Ts Denied They
Carry Banner Through
Streets and Distribute
e rcul lars TO Crowd

PARIS, Nov. 5 (By The Associated
Press). Woman sutfragistse of Paris
to-day dehed the police by carrying
through the streets on a sightseeing
automobile large banner inscribed
Votes for Women and distributing
circulars to the crowds In the various
thoroughfares.
A permit to display signs on cars
had been refused the women and they
had abandoned their idea of street
campaign because they did not desire
to involve chauffeurs and car owners in
prosecution by the police
A group Of militant suffragists, head
ed by Maria Verone, decided, however,
tc take matters into their own hands
and hired big sightseeing machine.
This they stopped at the principal cor
ners of the city and got out and CAM
paigned among the Sunday crowds.
Nine. Verone. lawyer and presi-
dent of the French League for Wom-
ems Rights recently left Paris in
car decorated with banners bearing the
legend French women want the vote.
but the Senate does not wish them to
have It," She toured the provinces,
but when she returned to Paris to
launch. her publicity campaign on the
eve Of the debate in the Senate on
women suffrage, she was met with
refusal by. the police to permit the
display of banners on automobiles.
The suffrage question probably will
come up before the Senate on Tues
day, three years and half after the
Chamber of Deputies passed the bill
giving women the right to vote. For
mer Premier Viviani, who recently was
elected to the Senate, is expected to
take the leadership on the floor on be-
half of the women and deliver his
opening speech for female suffrage.
The Senate committee that has kept
the measure in the table since 1918,
however. is still opposed to giving
women the vote.
