BUYER PAYS 5000
 FOR A STRADIVARIUS
lRv the Associated Pressl

Paris, April IA Stradivarius violin for which the maker, Antonius Stradivarius received 80 francs when he made it at Cremona in 1735, has just been sold here for 103, 400 francs including the war tax. This is equiv alent at current rates of exchange to about 5000.
 The violin was for a long time the property of the late Charles Lamour- euX, founder and conductor of the fla mus LamoureuX orchestra.
 The recent tests which seemed to establish that modern-made violins cannot be distinguished from ancient ones by their tones do not seem to have affected the price of ancient in. struments, if this sale can be taken as a criterion.

 DEFRAUD STATE.
Sing Sing Inmates Get $14,518 of New York'S
 Money
By Associated Press

Albany. N Y, February 5.-Con- victs assigned to office and account ing duties at the Sing Sing prison have defrauded the state again, this time for s14.51s. it was revealed in the annual report of state comptrol- Ter James A. Wendell, made public tonight. The report will be sub mitted to the legislature tomorrow night.
 Bank cheeks. the report said were forged by the prisoners and the comp troller recommends the employment of sufficient civilian help to keep the accounts of the prison so that in the future no conviets need be employed to do the work.
 In a recent examination" says the report a serious fraud has been discovered in the shape of forgeries of bank checks amounting to s14,51s. So cleverly were the forgeries ex- ecuted that the signatures could hard Iy be told from the genuine except upon the closest examination. While the authorities have been working on the case, responsibility has not been placed upon the particular iEdivid- uals. All indications, however, point to collusion of inmates with outside accomplices and the Justification of records of the prison by inmates em- ployed
 "In most cases 1t was found that the clerks of the prisons have more to do than they can accept personally and have to depend upon inmate help without adequate safeguards for their performance.

FLUE DANGER TO BE
 OVER WITHIN A WEEK
Hx Assncintcd Press

New York, February 5.-The end or danger within a week was foreseen tonight by Health Commissioner Copeland, who said he based his opti- mism over the mildness of the epide- mic and the low death rate this year. He recalled that during the same period of the 1918 epidemic there were hundreds of deaths daily from both diseases.
 The present situation indicated, he said, that the epidemic was confined largely to Manhattan and as the dis tances of travel were short, he did not think it would be necessary to change business hours to regulate travel to and from work.
 Theatre owners and managers were urged tonight to cooperate in com batting influenza by strict attention to cleanliness in all amusement places. Motion picture houses were asked to throw warnings on the screens against sneezing and cough ing without protection of the hand kerchief.

Lloyd George Discusses Irish Settlement With Cabinet
 Members
By Associated Press

London, February h.-Michael Col lins head of the Irish provisional gov ernment, arrived in London today and conferred at the Colonial office with WinSton Spencer Churchill, secretary for The colonies, and the lord chan cel9lr, Viscount Birkenhead.
 Slater In the day Premier Lloyd gorge returned from Cheques court sor the special purpose of presiding at a conference of the Irish commits tee of the cabinet in Downing street this evening. This conference. in ad- dition to MT. Churchill and Lord Birk- enhead, included Austin Chamberlain. Sir H4.mar Greenwood and Sir Cor don Hewart. Michael Collins, Kevin O'Higgins and Eamon J. Duggan.
 Arthur Griffith has been summoned to London to join similar conference tomorrow for discussion of the Ulster difficulty.
 No official statement was issued to indicate the nature of the discus sion at the important Downing street conference, but it is assumed the prime minister is anxious to arrive at some settlement, If possible, before the meeting of the imperial parlia- msnt this week. At this meeting the opponents of the Irish treaty are un- derstood to be prepared to bring a heavy attack to bear on the govern ment, greatly fortified by the fact that hopes of a peaceful settlement between the north and the south, aroused by the Craig Collins pact, were so suddenly dashed. The posi- ton is rendered more grave by the postponement of the Ard Fheis meet ing through the railway strike in Ire- land, because until the whole Sim Fein movement has pronounced through the Ard Fheis it's position on the DeValera split. 1t considered un- likely that Griffith and Collins can be induced to yield materially on the boundary question.

 Statement Says
By Associated Press

 Human hearts have long hoped to see the termination of the race in competition of naval armament" said the statement issued in behalf of the delegation as a unity, but 1t has been left to the leadership of America to achieve it by conference agreement.
 Profound Sentiment
 The words of praise spoken by the delegates of all the powers gath cred at the plenary on Saturday, while expressed the profound sentiment of appreciation which all thoughtfuI students of international questions and ardent lovers of world peace must have of the loftiness of concep- tion and the boldness in execution of the American scheme of promotinG peace between nations.
 With the settlement of the several acute international questions relating to the Pacific and Far East the clouds which were lowering on the horizon In these regions. have lifted and more assuring outlook of peace and good understanding now greets the eye of the observer.
 Principles RevivIfied
 The principles which have been adopted to guide the powers in their intercourse with China while not en- tirely new have been reviyified. Their former adoption by the Washington conference satisfies the people Of China because they feel confident that in the steady application of these principles will be found a solution for many of the problems which now embarrass their relations with for eign powers.
 Tt may be yet too early to appraise the work of the conference but the magnitude, of it's results is unmis- takable in the perspective of past history and will no doubt become more marked in the light of future development"

Managua, Nick. February 5.--A pc tition has been presented to the Nica- raguan Congress asking the govern ment to negotiate with the United States for the withdrawal of the American marines stationed at Camp Marte, near here.
