BILL FOR irish
FREE STATE ON
SECOND READING
Amendment to Alter Bound.
ary Commission Provi-
siOns Loses 302 to 60
TRICKERY IS DENIED
LLOYD George Replies to Charge of
Varying Promises to Collins and
Craig

London, Feb. 1S.-The bill estab-
fishing the Irish Free State passed
it's second reading in the House of
Commons yesterday, after the amend
ment offered by Capt. Charles Craig,
leader of the Ulster Unionists, for
altering the boundary commission pro.
visions of the Anglo-Irish treaty, had
been defeated.
With the amendment decisively de-
feated. the second reading was adopt
ed without division.
The amendment stipulated that IN
view of the fact that the treaty p'o-
vidcd for the creation of a boundary
commissions and that such provision
was in direct abrogation of listers
rights as secured by the Government
of ireland act of 1920 and breach
of the pledges given by the Prime
Minister. the House declined to pro-
coed with the second reading until the
Government had given assurance that
the provision in question would DC
eliminated or that any decision OF
the boundary commission should only
take effect after approval OF the North
err Parliament had been given.
Former Premier Asquith vigorous
" supported the bill in the debate be-
fore the vote, saying the boundary
question was an integral part of the
treaty and that it would be impossible
for the Government or the Parlla-
ment to escape the charge of gross
bad faith if there were any repudla-
ton of that part of the agreement.
Prime Minister Lloyd George con-
tradictcd to Ulster members asser-
ton that the Government has assur-
cd Sir James Craig that the boundary
adjustment would be of minor char
acter, while promising Michael Col
lins extensive changes.
A heated alteration ensued be-
tween Mr.. Moles and Mr.. Lloyd George
over this point
Ulster demands straight deal. ex-
claimed Mr. Moles, who said in con-
clusion:

500 DIVORCES
GRANTED IN
PAST IS MONTHS
Report Will Show When Sub
rnitted This After
noon
30 SUSPICIOUS" CASES
More Than so Per Cent of Those Who
Obtained Divorces Were Non Resi-
dents--Aany From Washington.

Approximately 500 divorce suits
were granted in the corporation court
of this city during the past eighteen
months and at the present time there
are more than $50 suits pending in
the court.
That the divorce practice OF this city
has assumed these large proportions
during the period when it has been
charged that the business received its
great boom. will be shown when the
committee investigating the alleged
divorce evil meets late this afternoon
and receives the final report Of the
subcommittee which has made a COM
pctr tabulation Of every divorce case
in the files OF the court from May !,
1920 to the present date. The report
will contain the figures mentioned
above and many others OF detail ma
ture and incident to the practice.
For instance the figures will show
that the name of Mrs. Mary l.. Bag
gctt who conducts a rooming house at
l!9 - South Royal street appears
in 40 Of the total number of suits
granted. In other words Mrs. Bag
gctt is shown in the report to have
made an affidavit that the applicant
had resided at her home for the re-
quired period. in 40 separate suits.
The name Of Mrs. Stella Bensel who
conducts a rooming house in South
Pitt street appears in y cases and
that of Robert Luckctt appears on Il
atfidavits.
1t will be shown further by the
tabu!ation that Davis and Budwesky
attorneys with Offices in South Royal
street appeared in more than one
fourth of the total number of suits
during the period in question. In the
tabulation this firm is shown to have
had ZIG suits. +. B. Washington an at
torney appeared in l32 cases and
Charles Henry Smith an attorney and
a delegate to the House of delegates
had 6S cases.
Another interesting feature in con-
nection with the tdbulation is that the
committee will call special attention
to al least 80 cases which it considers
as being suspicious and deserving OF
further investigation. Also, 1t IS
shown that OF the total number. of
suits granted more than 30 per cent
were non residents Of the State and
large percentage Of these non resi-
dents were residents Of Washington,
D. c. Also of the total number of suits
approximately 81 per cent were not
served with any notice or publication
regarding the filing of the suit.

Lewis VICTOR
INLABOR FIGHT
BY SMALL VOTE
Wages All Day Battle With
Howat For Control of
Mine Workers
RUN NECK AND NECK
Issues of Far-Reaching Importance
Are Involved in Stubborn Fight
With Insurgents

indianapolis, Feb. 1S.-The Lewis
administration forces yesterday de-
feated the Howat radicals and Far
rington insurgents in the fight for
mastery in the United Mine Workers
organization, according TO the unoffi-
cial figures.
harrington and Howat accepted the
unofficial figures as final. Harrington
was defiant and called Lewis a dead
bird" Howat said he supposed the
only place for him is Russia.
The fighting in the convention yes,
terdav was thrilling-a wonderful
horse race. From 9 o'clock until nearly
G the balloting was under way and not
until the last tiny block of votes cast
at nightfall was the decision certain.
Exact figures are not available at
this time. The tabulation showed
Lewis the victor by 105 votes in a
total of 1879 cast by 1000 delegates,
some of whom represented locals that
had more than one vote. Lewis had l.
992 and Howat and harrington 1881.
These figures approximate the other
unofficial figures. The official figures
may not be available until later.
Repeatedly during the ballotlng
the lead passed from one side to the
other. Repeatedly the opponents ran
neck-and- neck. separated by less than
score of votes.
Several times the totals for each
side were exactly even. Nothing like it
is recalled in the history of labor poll
tics. and seldom has there been any
sort of convention in late years IN
which the fighting was so desperately
stubborn. In its tension this convention
is comparable only to the Baltimore
convention that first nominated Wood
row Wilson for President.
The issue was of vast Importance,
Far more was involved than the ques-
ton whether John L. Lewis, president
of the miners international organiza-
ton, was to maintain his power
against the attack of Alexander How
at. of Kansas, and harrington, of H.

diately the character of the campaign
to be waged by the miners in the
