London. May 1f.-Announce-
ment Of the failure of the Dali
Eireann peace committee to reach
a basis for a settlement between the
opposing army factions has brought
back public attention here sharply
to the Irish situation which has
lately been overshadowed by the
Genoa conference and its attend
ant incidents.
While hope that a peaceable ar
rangement will eventually be reach
ed is not precluded, the outlook is
regarded as diseouraging and the
impotence of the greater section
Of English opinion was accurately

from Dublin represent the major

RESENTS TO
INTERFERENCE
Through Trains May Be De-
toured on Account Of Spite
Ordinances

Columbia, May 10 Because OF
the fact that some towns in South
Carolina insist on obedience to
SLOW orders" the Seaboard Air
Line Railway is considering Sc
riously the plan of detourinG
through freight and passenger
trains, according to information
given out yeste1u,y by Frank
Shealy, chairman Of the South Car
DINA railroad commission.
with the X ption O. some
three or four towns, all towns IN
the state have agreed not to in
force their SLOW orders" Mr..
Shealy said yesterday. I'm some
instances these slow orders We're
put into effect in a spirit OF retail
alton. l believe. The. Seaboard
trains did not stop in some of these
towns, so the ordinances requiring
the trains 20 run at four and ne
half or five miles per hour were
passed. Due to grades and heavy
loads, the Seaboard finds it next to
impossible to comply with these
SLOW" orders. The grades stop
the long heavy trains when they
get down tt the low speed required.
Again, a speed of four and one
half miles through a town entails
greater danger than does a higher
speed, because of the fact that
people who want to get out may
take a chance" and attempt to
board the slow moving train with
consequent danger to life and limb.
The Seaboard has filed notice
with us that it is giving serious COR
sheraton to the matter Of de-
touring the through freight and
passenger trains. If this action be
taken, it will mean much to South
Carolina"
Mr.. Shealy said the commission
was giving serious thought to the
matter and expressed the hope that
towns which continue t. insist on
obedience to the "slow" ordinances
would consider carefully the effect
of. detouring through freight and
passenger trains on the Seaboard.

TARIFF DEBATE
OCCUPIES HOURS
Approval of One Amendment
Only Result

Washington, May 1.-THE SEN
ate had another II hour session to-
day with the tariff bill, but again
made comparatively little progress,
Its most important action was the
approval, % to "a, Of a commit
tee amendment proposing to re-
move ammonium nitrate from the
free hist and make it dutiable at one
cent a pound.
Four Republicans-Borah of Ida
no, Capper OF Kansas, La Toilette
of Wisconsin and Norris of Nehras-
ka-voted, against the-amendnent;
and two Observation-Disclosures of
Louisiana and Kendrick Of Wyom-
unsupported il.
Explaining the amendment, SEN
ator McCumber (Republican) of
North Dakota, in charge Of the bill,
said ammonium nitrate was one of
the things which the committee
had "wobbled," proposing first that
1T be ron the free list. He explain
ed that this item was regarded as
being in the twilight zone" be-
tween the free list and the protec-
ton list, and told the senate that
the placing Of duty on it would
make necessary a compensatory
duty on explosives.
After the vote Of Senator King
(Democrat3 Of Utah, who led the
fight against the proposal said he
wanted ito congratulate the Re-
publicans of the agricultural tariff
bloc for standing by the farmers;
road builders and others who use
explosives and dynamite and for
making this present to the trusts"
Senator Freiughuysen Of New
Jersey, a Republican of the finance
committee, urged the amendment,
declaring that the duty was neces-
sary to protect from the German
nitrate trust the nitrate industry
built up in this country during the
war. He added that the issue
would have a bearing on the Mus
Gle Shoals project.
AT the suggestion OF Senator
fDemoerat) Of North Car
DINA, the senate deferred action on
ammonium phosphate and amnson-
ium sulphate. Senator Simmons
said consideration Of these items at
this time would open up the whole
fight over free fertilizer materials
and time would be saved by post
poning action until the senate
reached the potash schedule with
its proposals for duties on that
commodity.

ON
TARIFF BILL
Democrats Claim Republicans
Are Attempting TO Use
Steam Roller Tactics

Washington, May 12.-Repubfi-
al and Democratic leaders in the
senate got into another row today
! over the tariff, the controversy cen
tering around the attacks of Re
publican newspapers on the meas
ure and the duty of ten cents a
gallon proposed on wood alcohol
by the finance committee. There
were charges of a flibuster from
the majority side and fat denials
from the Democratic side with
counter charges that the members
of the committee were refusing TO
| give the senate information about
the rates on which it could act a
diligently.
The editorials were presented by
Senator Simmons Of North Caro-
lima, who concluded a general as
sault on the bill with the predie-
ton that if it were passed in its
present form it would lead the bus
mess Of this country into a de
bacle from which it will take US a
quarter of a century to rescHe it
and the dire consequences Of which
to the American people can not be
measured in words or figures"
Senator McCunlber (Republican}
of North Dakota in charge OF the
bill, countered with a charge that
the editorials were a part of a
propaganda" and the assertion
that the prediction Of Senator Sim
mons as to the result Of the pas
sage Of the bill was not "one-
half as startling as would be the
dire results if the Underwood tar
if law remained in effect for ar
other year. He added that the E e
publicans were going to put a pro
tective tariff bill" on the statute
books and would take the conse-
quenceS."
Asserting that there was a COM
bination" on the Republican side to
put the bill through without even
considering the schedules" Senator
Hitchcock (Democrate of Nebras-
ka said that if there are no Re-
publican senators who would stand
up and fight this bill as did Sena-
tors Dolliver, Beveridge and others
when the Payne-Aldrich measure
was up, the Democrats would make
the fight and would continue to
make it until the bill was passed.
Senator Borah (Republiean) Of
Idaho remarked that if the Demo
Gratis could present reasonable rates
in substitution for the committee
rates you will get some votes on
this side" He added. however,
that those on the Republican side
would not vote fer free trade"

witness in the Arbuckle case who was

The woman who suddenly disap-

departure came as a climax to an all
night vigil by detectives. The Off
GERS did not attempt to force an en-

mittancc was denied because they had
received no request from San Fran

was while they were waiting In the

OtNBY NEARLY HAS
SCRAP ON HIS HANDS

WASHINGTON. d. c.. Feb. 13.-Sec-
retary DENLY In asking congress today
for an appropriation OF $3.50, 900 for
the navy next year, ran into tho edge
o. n threatened fight by advocates OF
government economy TO scrap" the
naval establishment ratio figure ar
ranged by the arms conference. In
frank and detailed statement as to
what the navy department hoped to
accomplish, Mr.. DENLY told the house
naval COMMITTEES that his estimate
called for a reduction OF ten thousand
in enlisted personnel which was made
possible only by putting about one
hundred destroyers out OF commission
and by sharp cuts in shore station
forces. Chairman Butler indicated
that the figures named by the secre-
tary. compared with an appropriation
OF $4,000. 900 for the present year was
high in view OF reductions authorized
by the conference. 1t was brought out
in' tho discussion that some members
OF congress believed in urging n naval
appropriation bill carrying no more
than &l75, 900 900 or 3200, 900 600 but Mr..
Dcnby agreed with the view expressed
by members OF the committee that
such n reduction would put the Unit
ed States actually before Great Britain
