CREMO BREWERY co. TO to OUT OF BUSINESS May Pour Present Stock in Sewer - Conference
 This Morning

The Cremo Brewing company, which has been manufacturing a near beer product since the prohibition amendment was passed, has closed up permanently and does not expect to resume business, according to we'll founded rumors today. While it is not known definitely, the decision is thought to have been made following a conference between John Skritulsky, president: Thomas Morton, superin- tendent, and two other brewery off, cials in the office this morning.
 The Cremo brewery has done prac- tically nothing since a visit made to that plant some time ago by federal agents.
 The rumor states that the liquor now on hand at the brewery will be poured into the sewer within the next few days. Just when this will take place has not been decided upon as yet. A Herald reporter called at the brewery office this morning during the conference and was informed by MT. Morton that the date had not been decided upon, but that as soon as 1t was the prohibition officials would be notified.
 We don't know exactly when it will be- said President John Skri- tulsky, who admitted that the plant was closed permanently. No prohibit ton officials were at the brewery this morning, according to President Skri- tulsky, although MT. Morton refused to state who was present at the meet ing, which grew rather heated at times.

the organizing brains in military af l fairs behind Collins daring leader ship.
 Cosgrave Is one Of the few Dal me embers having a wide knowledge ol
 public affairs, best fitted, it is thought to take the political helm. Both men strongly supported the treaty with England negotiated by Griffith and Collins.
 Mulcahy is the son of the postmas- ter of Clare and himself began life as postal official. In 1916 he joined the uprising and was the real leader in the fight at Ashbourne. Dismissed from the postal service, he became a student in the medical department of the National university
 f Later he was admitted to the inner councils of the Sim Fein and rose to chief of staff of the republican army. In the famous battle in the Dali over ratification of the treaty last winter it was conceded that the result hung upon Mulcshy's stand.
 Quickly joining Griffith and Collins, his speech was doubly effective.
 The majority of the soldiers, who loved and trusted Collins and Null cahy. followed them into the treaty ranks. Mulcahy became minister of defense in the provincial government and remained chief of staff of the army.
 Cosgrave for years was an alderman in Dublin. He participated in the 1916 uprising and when the British stormed South Dublin workhouse he was in command of the defenders, He was sentenced to death, but this was commuted to life imprisonment be- cause he had merely taken command when his younger brother, his super for officer, was killed.
 Granted amnesty in 1917, Cosgrave was elected Sim Fein member of par liament for Kilkenny city. He was sent to Mount Joy prison by the Brit ish and took part in the famous hun ger strike that resulted in the death of Thomas Ashe.
 He was released in bad health and became minister of local government in the first Dali, devising the plan whereby town boards refused to turn over DOCKS, papers ana money to British government representatives Jails were soon filled with Irish town clerks, but the local government was paralyzed as far as the British were concerned
 Cosgrave was one of five in the Dali cabinet who sanctioned the peace treaty. During the long Dali debate he was notable for his softly spoken witty speeches which subdued the anger of treaty opponents. He con verted wavering members by his mas tery of government affairs.
 Like Multahy. Cosgrave is below middle height. He is fair, with gray hair and mustache, and his face shows indelible marks of prison suf fering.

PEPPER DOUBTS MINES
 WILL RE TAKEN OVER
Senator Thinks Differences Will Be Patched Up in
 Meantime

Philadelphia, Aug. 26.-Belief that the anthracite wage dispute would be settled amicably without government tai seizure of the coal mines was ex- pressed today by Senator Pepper who was understood to represent the ad- ministration in its efforts to bring about another conference of operators and miners. The senator had just talked by telephone to Secretary Hoover in Washington.
 While I can make no definite fore cast" said Senator Pepper until l have had the. same opportunity for conference with the operators as l yesterday had with John L. Lewis and Philip Murray of the United Mine Workers of America I see no obstacle to amicable agreement. I am distinctly hopeful the disputants will find way to avoid government seizure"
 MT. Lewis said there was no change in the situation as far as the mine workers were concerned.

 At the office of the brick company this morning it was stated that few laborers had been instructed to take broken bricks and other rubbish and fill up the clay pit pond in the brick

Paris, Aug. 2s. (By Associated Press)-British reparations officials will urge that Germany be given an- other hearing by the full membership of the reparaticns commission before hral determination of the reparation question is made, it was learned in an authoritative quarter here today.
 This became known after the re- turn of Sir John Bradbury and Eu- gene Maucler, British and French rep resentatives, respectively of the com mission, who went to Berlin a few days ago for a conference with Ger man officials.
 New Proposals Likely

QU7GZEY FEELS RORABACX MUST BE
 OHER7HROWlNI,s MY. O. P $ 70 WLN
Explains His Interests Are Working to That End Rather Than to Assume Political Dictatorship.

That J. Henry Roraback must be busted If the republican party hopes for success in the fall election, and that he is out to accomplish that end rather than to become a political dic- tator in local republican circlev is the gist of a statement issued today by ex-Mayor George A. Quigey.
 Has Shown Hand.
 M-. Quigley attended recent gath erings of the local G. Q. P. leaders and succeeded in having chosen from among the members of his Indepen- dent Political club. majority of the state convention delegation. At once he issued an ultimatum to ex-State Senator George w. Klett that the city must divorce itself from Rora- backs faction, asserting that unless klett was willing to cast his vote for another, Quigley would seek election as state central committeeman. No assurance was given Ouigley that his wishes would be carr1d out and the matter is now in abeyance
 Issues Statement.
 The statement issued this afternoon by Mr. Quigley, is as follows:
 Many of my fri(Alds are of the opinion that certain news items ap- bearing in the newspapers regarding the candidates for delegates in the republican convention have led peo- pie to believe that ! wish to bec on,s the political dictator in New Britain Such is not the case
 My though in taking an interest in the selection of delegates was for the purpose of defeating J. Henry Roraback for reelection as chair man of the Republican State Central committee.
 T believe the elimination of J. Henry Roraback is necessary if the republican party ic to be successful in the fall elItion.''
 Waterbury Also Balky.
 That anti Rora back feeling is not confined to this city alone is shown by press accounts of republican in- ternal disorders in Waterbury, It is that, assured that Lieut.. Iov. Templeton may count on more support for gubernatorial honors from Committeeman c. A. Gates as chairman than from J. Henry Rora- pack, the committeeman from that ,ity are planning to overthrow the present leader.
 Committeeman h1-e freely stated hat they are not tied up to Roraback md will vote for the man in whose 'hairmanship the chances for Water 'ury and Templeton seem brightest.
