Walsh, Who Favors London
Agreement, Warns of
Pending Defeat.
De VALERA'S PROPOSALS

II" the Associated Press
LONDON, January 81. J. Walsh.
member of the dali eireann. is quoted
in Central News dispatch from Dub
lin today as saying in statement:
Il can definitely state that, as the
position stands. the treaty will be
defeated by at least two votes"
Il take full responsibility for MAX
ing that statement" continued Walsh.
The decision will likely be taken
late tonight, and l feel that 1t is OF
the greatest Importance and of vital
interest for every constituency to
realize the exact position"
Claim Not Contradicted.
The Central News correspondent
says other deputies who were queried
in regard to Walsh's statement said
they would not attempt to contradict
it, and that their manner of saying So
confirmed the serious fears generally
entertained.
Walsh, who favors the treaty, has
been one of the Sim Fein's most mill !
tant supporters. He has become note
worthy for having escaped from
Mountjoy prison in 1919, having
served nearly three years of a ten
wear sentence for his activities IN
connection with the Easter rebellion
in 1916 and for having eiudeo tne
crown forces who sought MIN In va
rious parts of Ireland.

The question of whether the

costing, still informally. the in

tory in such cases, from the limi-

Another important suggestion.
recognized today as in the EN-
of aggression by an outside power.
the five signatories would come to-
gether to consider the best means
of securing a settlement.
Such a Consultation" provision
would be similar to article of
the four-power Pacific treaty, and
any formal proposal for it's in
cluSion probably would lead to
considerable debate.
1t was considered possible that
the drafting committee would
find it necessary to seek further
directions from the full naval
committee before writing into the
treaty a section Of this nature.

Proposal to Raise
Tariff Rate to )
Per Cent Wins.
PEkING DELEGATION
AGREES TO ACTION
Duty Increase to Aid
Revenues of Nation
$46,OOO,OOO Yearly.
B. The AsSocia .ed Press.

&, the Associate .ed Press.
The agreement for an increase of
Chinese tariff rates to an effective
per cent was adopted today by the
nine conference powers sitting as
committee on far eastern questions
The far eastern committee also
adopted resolutions providing for
eventual withdrawal of foreign troops
from China. Upon the request of
China, the resolutions provide. the
ministers at Peking of the eight
powers will meet with a committee of
three Chinese to discuss the troop
withdrawal question.
Approved by All.
All of the eight powers approved
the program for increasing Chinese
revenues and the Chinese delegation
accepted the report, submitted by
Senator Underwood. chairman of the
subcommittee.
Included in the report of the tarift
subcommittee was a suggestion that
reduction of the armed forces of
China be undertaken by China as an
aid in increasing the Chinese reve-
nues. The report. which is 20 he
incorporated in proposed nine
power treaty dealing with Chinese
questions, also would establish
commission to fix upon 4 date, as
soon as possible. for increasing Chi
nese tariffs to II. per cent.
Will Increase Revenues.
The tariff increase, it was said,
would increase the Chinese revenues
about s46.000,0o0 annually. The tariff
commission is to meet next year in
China to consider a further increase.
The resolutions for withdrawal of
foreign troops met a situation of
dispute between China and Japan as
to the facts relating to the number
and activities of the foreign troops.
On behalf of Japan it was con-
tended that some foreign troops were
needed to maintain order in GER
tain areas of China. This. it was
said, was denied by Chinese spokes-
men. The committee adopted the
plan of authorizing a commission to
determine the facts and recommend
action.
Willing to Withdraw.
In principle. it was said. all the
powers were willing to withdraw
foreign troops from Chinese soil
should their presence not be needed
for the maintenance of order and the
protection of lives and property.
The commission OF the eight powers
ministers at Peking will meet upon
the request of the Chinese govern
ment when China decides to press its
demands for the withdrawal of the
foreign forces.

KING SEEKS PROBE
. Of BUILDING COSTS
Senator Believes Combina.
ton Exists to Keep Up
Prices in D. c.

Investigation of the construction
and building material industry in
Washington is to be suggested to the
of Columbia by Senator King of Utah.
a member of the Senate district COM
mittee, and prominent in the school
investigations here.
Senator King said today that he
wanted the district attorney to make
a thorough investigation of the prices
of building materials, to determine
whether they were reasonable ana
also as to whether there was any
combination to keep up the prices. Ii
the investigation showed that there
was any combination here or else
where, he wanted the Senate to nave
the facts, so that The public would
know them and Congress could take
appropriate action to correct them.
Believes Combine Exists
1t is the belief of Senator King that
there does exist a combination which
is keeping up the price of building ma
terials, and he points particularly to
the prevailing high costs for the ma
terials needed in the construction OF
school buildings. He pointed out that
great work had been done by the
Lockwood investigating committee in
New York. and he thought that an IN
yestigation made by the district at
torney here might bring out some
facts which would explain the pre-
vailing high prices of building ma
terials in this city.
The district attorney will be ask
ed to determine in a course of his
findings as result Of his investi-
cation whether laws now on the sta
tute books are sufficient to cover any
conditions he may find which result
in maintaining prices at levels from
100 and $50 per cent higher than they
were before the war. Senator King
said further that if the United States
Attorney reported to him that the
laws at present on the books did not
cover any unwarrantable situation he
might find, he would make every ef-
fort to press the necessary legislation
before Congress.
Bread Price Probe. Also.
Senator King said that he had noticed
the reports Of the increases in the price
of bread by local bakers and he sug-
eested that they were unwarranted apd
indicated combination for the fixing Of
prices However. he wants to have the
facts before he takes any action, and
on this point he already has written a
letter to District Attorney Gordon ask
ing him to make an investigation of this
latest rise in the price of food.
When he hears from the district at
torney on this point, he said, he will
make an effort to have Congress pass
the necessary measures which would
preclude any combination in the fu-
ture to increase the cost Of the neces-
stiles of life.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, January s.
The funeral Of Senator Boies Penrose
was held this morning. The same great
secrecy that surrounded the making Of
a arraneements for the funeral was MAIN
tanned until the body Of the political
leader was lowered into the brick-lined
grave in South Laurel Hill cemetery. No
information was forthcoming whether
there were any religious services at the
house or at the cemetery. Newspaper
ranorters were not admitted to the
burial ground.
The fact that the body Of the senator
wou,d be buried today became known
late Yesterday, when the bureau Of vital
statistics issued a permit for interment
for January or thereafter. The im-

v. R. & {. PROPOSES.
TO RUN BUS LINE.
Authority Asked TO Operate
Between Mt. Pleasant and
Georgia Avenue.

For the first time in the history of
the District a railway company has
decided to install motor bus service to
ties.
The experiment is to be made by the
Washington Railway and Electric
Company, which today applied to the
Public Utilities Commission for au-
thority to operate a motor bus route
on Park road from Mount Pleasant
street to Georgia avenue.
Tokens Could Be Used.
The proposed line would furnish a
much needed -cross-town service, and
would connect up with three of the
north and south lines of the Washing
ton Railway and Electric Company.
Tokens now used on the street cars
at five for 35 cents would be good on
the busses, but the company asks au-
thority to charge 2 cents for trans
fers at Mount Pleasant street, 18th
street and Georgia avenue.
The company, however, would is
sue a free transfer to some other
line of the w. r. E. upon receipt of
a two-cent transfer. For example, a
passenger going from the bus to the
Mt. Pleasant car at Park road on a
two-cent transfer could obtain another
free transfer at Dupont Circle to
a Georgetown car.

The Washington Railway and
Electric Company hereby respect
fully makes application for permis-
sion to operate one or more motor
busses from the intersection of Park
road and Mt Pleasant street, through
Park road to the intersection of
Park road and Georgia avenue.
!, ut will be noted that this route
connects three of our important lines,
namely, Mt. Pleasant line, 11th street
line and Brightwood line. For that
reason it is believed that such a
motor bus line will prove of great
to patrons of the COM

means of getting across town except
by a long ride into the heart Of the
city and out again.

WHIPPING EUROPE'S
PROBLEMS IN SHAPE
Allied Representatives Pre-
pare Issues for Considera-
ton at Cannes.
BY the Associated Press.

CANNES. January 5.-Representa-
tives from France, Great Britain,
Italy and Belgium had two sessions
here today with the intention of put
ting the reparations and other prob
lens into shape for consideration at
the opening session of the allied SUI
preme council tomorrow
With the arrival of viscount Ishii
at the head of the Japanese delega-
tion and of Premier Jasper Theunys
of Belgium this forenoon, every
thing was ready for what is increas-
ingly emphasized as the most mo-
years struggle to set Europe to
rights and to get Germany started on
her reparations payments.
Await Lloyd George Plan.
Great Importance is attached to the
conversations between Premier
BRAND and Prime Minister Lloyd
George. These conversations are
now being enlarged by visits of other
delegates to the British premier, but
there is little indication as to what
direction their talks are swinging
the much discussed solutions.
Today there was an unusual at
mOsphere of tenseness In expectation
that Mr.. Lloyd George. at the opening
session tomorrow. might produce the
long heralded but still indefinitely
known program for relieving Ger
many and lifting industrial and finan-
cial Europe out of the slough of des-
pondency.
Are "WalkinE ON Eggs.,
NJ. Loucheur, French minister of
liberated regions, today was credited
with the remark: I'VE are walking
on eggs" as an indication that there
are many difficulties ahead Premier
BRAND, in an interview with the cor
respondent of the Brussels Etoile
Beige. was quoted as saying:
IF Belgium is with US in the uues-
tion of moratorium Germany will
not get it," He was said to have
added. as a reminder to the Belgian
people. that France would not sacri-
flee Belgium's priority claims for rep
arations payments.
All these public declarations, how
ever. are generally accepted as start
ing points in the negotiations, rather
than as indicating determined posi-
lions.

DALI WALKoUT HINTED.
De Valera Said to Be Bound to
Present Proposals.

By the Associated Press
DUBLIN, January 5.-The dali eire-
an met this morning and immediate
ly adjourned until o'clock this aft
ernoon.
The adjournment was to give the
members an opportunity of discuss
ing the situation created by the pres
entation of Eamon De Valera's al
ternative proposals. 1t was regarded
by many observers Of the proceed
ings as a hopeful sign that some
form of agreement might be reached.
One member of the dan said, snort
ly after the adjournment, that an
effort would be made to reach an
agreement on the plan proposed the
other day by Michael Collins-that
the opponents of the treaty should
abstain from voting and permit the
treaty to pass.
1t was argued by proponents OF this
plan that harmony could thus be
secured and that the opponents Of
the treaty, if they liked, could ap-
peal to the electorate by means Of q
plebiscite De Valera's attitude, it
an agreement could be reached be-
tween the opposing factions.
VIII Insist Upon Hearing.
In the lobby rumors were flying,
one to the effect that the De Valera
and the other opponents of the treaty
planned to walk out il the alterna-
tive proposals could not be placed be-
fore the dali.
The morning newspapers took a
gloomy view of the prospect of rati-
fying the treaty. but it was whis-
hot
for the purpose of rallying doubtful
members of the dali to the support
of the pact.
When the dali met William Co.'S
grave rose to protest against letter
he said had been sent on behalf of
the Sim Fein to Dublin business
house, asking for the loan Of the
largest available union jack to hoat
beside the green flag over the uni
versity buildings, which the dali is
now using, when the treaty was rati-
fed. The dali was in the university
building by courtesy of the uni
yersity, of which Mr.. De Valera was
chancellor, Mr.. Cosgrave pointed out.
The letter. which was pointed to as
a piece of sarcasm by some unidenti-
fied~persons, was generally repudi-
ated.
Seek Time to Talk Outside.
John T. oKelly, Sim Fein repre-
sentative in Paris, then moved ad-
journment until 3 pm. He said the
members individually were still dis
cussing with one another points on
which they had not reached a de-
cision.
De Valera said he did not object.
Michael Collins likewise agreed, and
the adjournment was ordered.
Significance was attached by many,
in view of the adjournment Of the
dali to enable the members to discuss
matters privately. to a statement
made today by Harry Boland, long In
the United States as representative
of cannon De Valera. He said that
the prevailing opinion in the minds
of Irishmen in the United States was
that the splendid unity which existed
throughout the fight for freedom in
ireland must be maintained.
Personally, added Boland. he OPP
posed the treaty.
