cident to the transfer of author
ity in southern Ireland from the
ional administration established
crown government to the proyis-
ion Dublin were considered here
today. Eamon J. Duggan and
Kevin O'Higgins, delegates of the
Irish provisional government, ar
rived in London to Golfer with
members of the British cabinet
relative to the investment of the
new regime with governmental
responsibility.
The war office has announced

in southern Ireland will begin at
once and that the men will be
moved as rapidly as conditions
permit.
The Morning Post, newspaper
which has steadfastly shown hos
tility to Irish home rule and has
upheld the principle of unionism
today printed the following dis
patch from its Dublin correspond
ent:
"The provisional government
will make a great mistake if it
does not level Dublin Castle to
the ground. There is an evil spell
upon it. It's spirit of intolerance
that it barbored and the kind of
bureaucracy. the type Of politician
admirers it bred, did more to
destroy the union than agitators
and treason mongers.
when the exodus begins, the
Businesses of Dublin Castle will
disgorge high salaried officials
who have not done stroke of
honest work in years.
The correspondent intimated
these officials against whom he

Weeks Claims
Ford's Attack
Not Justified

Washington, Jan. 17.-Secre-
tary Weeks in a formal statement
today described as "unwarranted
criticism" the assertions of Henry
Ford that action on the proposal
for the Detroit manufactures for
purchase and lease of the Muscle
Shoals, Ala, nitrate and power
projects had been unnecessarily
delayed by the war department.
The war secretary in his state
ment added that Mr.. Ford during
their conference here last Satur-
day made no complaint as to de-
lay and gave the secretary to un-
derstand that he would make no
public statement on the confer
ence. Mr.. Weeks statement was
brought forth by charges of un-
necessary delay in declarations
made by Mr.. Ford prior to his de-
parture from Washington after
the conference.

Customs Officers
Must Use Algebra
Under Tariff Plan

Washington, Jan. 17.-When
you were a youngster in the mesh
of a high school curriculum you
often wondered what earthly use
algebra would or could be to you
in after life. The senate finance
committee will furnish one answer
when It turns out the so called
permanent tariff bill.
Under the plan tentatively
agreed upon to base duties on the
selling price in this country of the
imported article difficulty would
be met where the imported goods
had not been freely sold in the
United States. A value on which
to base a duty would have to b

PEACE In
ERIN NOT
SURE YET.
Catholic Leader Says
Tranquility Depends
Upon Pacification of
Many Factions


London, Jan. 1.-THE Earl of
Denbigh, leader of the Catholic
laity in England, sees grim
struggle ahead in Ireland and be-
lieves that this is not the time for
Thanksgiving for an apparent vic
tory, but for fervent prayer for
the future.
nj a roseate world of expressed
hopes and voiced confidence that
all is now over but the shouting,
Lord Denbigh strikes note Of
hard-headedness.
Sim Fein, in his view, has yet
to make the lasting peace by its
methods of government and by
the clear vision it displays in deal
ing with its own population and
with the associated mother ma
tion, England
1--WE have now to consider the
future" he says, ''and let us, il
we can, bury the past. Let Irish
teachers cease, If possible, to feed
their pupils ON "reminiscences of
Queen elizabeth and oliver Crom-
well. Let Catholics try to forget
the cruel and bitter religious per-
secutions and the disabilities un-
der which they suffered until
comparatively recent times.
tLet Orangemen realize that
there is little or no sympathy in
England with their one political
cry of TO hell with the pope! or
with their absurd fears regarding
religious persecution at the hands
Of Dublin Parliament.
tsWell, the possibility OF max
| ing this settlement a success will
entirely depends on the Irisf
themselves. First of all, is it pos
sible to get any free expression Of
public opinion nj Ireland? If II
is not, are they people fit fol
self-government? If it is, then
feel confident that events will
show that a large majority Of the
Irish are neither Bolshevists MOI
Socialists, that they are people
opposed to the extremists who
have terrorized them and whose
final defeat they would view will
relief.
81 am told that Sim Feir
wishes to win the respect of the
world and intends to show that
after all these years of demand
for self-government, they are cap
able of carrying it out Justly
that all the corner-boys and farm
ers' sons who have fought fol
Sim Fein in the belief that vic
tory will mean their acquiring
their neighbors' property (espec
ldally that of the loyalists in the
south and west) for next to moth
ing will experience the surprise
of their lives at the hands OF
/ very heavy-fisted and efficient
Sim Fein police. Well, we shall
see.

]. r.. Nelson, was examin-
ing Arbuckle, who had been put

His body was taken into the
chambers OF Judge Percy Kelly,
before whom the case was being
tried. DIR. Roy Byrd, who was at
that time in the building, was inn
mediately called and with the aid
of DR.. w. Fl. Garnjobst, later sum-
moned, conducted a thorough ex-
animation, pronouncing 1t heart

When he arrived at the court
house this morning, shortly before
9 o'clock, Mr.. Morcom seemed to
be in god spirits, but when asked
be In good spirits, but when asked
| by Merle Ivie, circuit court clerk
neither felt good nor bad in
health.
Immediately upon the compile
tion of the doctors examination
e. N. Hall, undertaken Of Wood

Mr.. Morcom is survived by his

er, Minnesota.

and was shortly afterwards ad-
mitted to the bar and became a
member of the state bar associa-
tion. In 1892 he moved to Wood
burn, and the following year to
Silverton, returning to Woodburn
in 1904, where he was active in
civic affairs. He was elected city
attorney for number OF terms,
and took a greater interest in the
work of the Methodist church.
During his recent trip east, Mr..
Morcom visited all the principal
cities and was admitted to prao-
tice before the United States SUI
preme court.
Pending the funeral arrange
ments, which will be announced
later, no cases will be tried in the
circuit court, the suit in which
Mr.. Morcom was appearing hav-
ing been postponed for the term.

Removing of Death
Caps Is Conflicting

Washington, Jan. 17.-Former
service men detailed for duty with
the American Graves Registration
service in France denied before a
senate investigating committee to-
day the bodies of soldiers legally

led with stub of rope around the
neck and the black cap which had
been placed on them ON the gal
lows.
George A. Bamford of Washing
ton and John r. Flynn of Cam
bridge, Mass, both testified they
had heard of nothing to substan-
tiate such charges. Flynn de-
clared Rufus P. Hubbard of New
York, who had testified that he
saw bodies with rope and cap in
tact, was a trouble maker who
had to be transferred on that ac-
count.

The committee went into hang
ing methods as part of it's general
investigation of charges laid be-
fore the senate by Senator Wat

diers were hanged without trial in
France.
Disagreeing with witnesses who
preceded him, Richard G. Sulli-
van of Somerville, Mass, an as.
sistant embalmer with the Graves
Registration service, declared he
saw two bodies taken UP with rope
and black cap intact.
WAS there any evidence tha

declared.
"In the case Of the second mai
hanged, I think the body. wa

the rope and cap still on it,
Lamb added.
Woman Testifies.
The first woman to appear be
fore the committee, Mrs. Griffith
of Washington, whose husband
Colonel Richard H. Griffiths, wa
killed in France, told of going t
France in an effort to locate AM
identify his body.
"It was a headless body" sh
declared, ''and there was no tai
on it."
Are you sure the body was, o
was not, that of your husband?
