ARE SEIZED BY PUEBLO SHERIFF

The officer. engaged several motor
trucks with the intention OF hauling
the wine away last evening, but they
found that after the barrels had been
deposited in the cellar wine factory
Mt 22lo II. Evans avenue. the doorway

barrels could not be removed; the
opening left being only large enough
to admit "A mans body.
1t is stated by the officers that the
wine is of several varieties: some Is
red. some white and some Is what is
commonly called champagne wine.
They also say that Nitinjal said he
had paid sl.i00 for the grapes he used
in making the wine. but that so far he
had realized but about $i00 for what
he had sold OF the stock.
This morning the officers will take

Immense relief is felt hero at the
turn of events and this will un.
doubtedly be experienced thruout Ire
land.
Temporary withdrawal of Eamonn
Dc Valera and his supporters from
the Dali which rumor had forecast
proved not to involve q permanent
split. Mr.. De Valera confined his
protest to tho election of a new presi-
dent declaring his unwillingness to
recognize the suitability to that post
of a man who as chairman of the
London delegation was bound to give
effect to the treaty who according to
De Valera subverts the republic.
During the luncheon. Mr.. De Valera
and his associates who left the hall.
held private meeting. Some of tho
more ardent spirits advocated re-
fusal' to return, but moderate coun-
sells prevailed and the dali re-aS-
sembled as united body.
The De Valera party met again to-
night to frmulate pins. but 1t was
made evident by the numerous
speeches from Mr.. Do Velera what
those plans are likely to be.
He holds that the Dairs decision
for the treaty binds him and his ad-
herents not to obstruct the new gov
siHIheHl III carrying OUT tn6 treaty
but he reserves the right of free
criticism should Mr.. Griffith as chair
man of the provisional government
do anything inconsistent with the
rights OF the people or tho existence
of the republic. '----s-----
Speaking at the afternoon session.
Mr.. De Valera said he was sorry he
could not congratulate Mr.. Griffith
on his election but he and his asso-
ciates would do everything TO help
Griffith as president of the Dali to
secure the fullest measure of liberty
for ireland. When Mr.. Griffith act

Washington. d. C., Jan. 1o.-(By the

of the Pacific Qualifications agreement
and a half dozen lesser questions OF
phraseoIogy, the five power naval
Limitation treaty was put into finai
force today at conference OF the
American, British. japanese, Frencn

The question OF geographical scope
was understood to be the chief point
unsettled in the fortifications status

said to have agreed tentatively to an
American draft of the article but to
have deferred final action until they
communicated with Toxic.
AS result OF this development ana
other details OF final drafting some
delegate, predicted that the fun naval
committee would not be called to act
on the treaty before Thursday or FIJI
day, and that no plenary session would
be held until next week. There was
consequent postponement OF tentative
sailing arrangements for the foreign
delegations with indications that a
majority believed the conference would
last until late in January.
Today's discussions are understood
to have revealed a growing nciina-
tion to exclude the submarine lad pol.
