and Mrs. Lloyd George were busy
experimenting the packing up OF
their belongings so they could move
from 10 Downing street.-the Off
cial residence of English premiers
It IL probable that Mr.. Lloyd
George will not return to Downing
street after his weekend speaking
Journey. but will retire to his new
country home at Hindhead. Surrey
which has just been completed.
Mr.. Law had an appointment to
see King George today to arrange
certain details of his acceptance OF
the premiership. Their conference
was expected to relate mainly to dis
solution Of Parliament.
The Irish treaty must be ratified
before December 6 to be officially
effective. and this may force Mr..
Law to dissolve Parliament earlier
than he desires in order to get a
new Parliament into office to take
up the treaty. II this course is not
followed, then the members of the
new ministry must face numerous
bye elections.
Opposition leaders expressed con.
viction that Mr.. Law would proclaim
the dissolution Of Parliament on Sat
urday or Monday. The general elec,
tion then would be held the first part
Of November.

A resolution presented by the

declared that:

clared Mayor Leach Of Minneapolis,

clares he Is all Of. fifty-three. Nc
Nally reiterated that he is fortyGfour.
"You had your wife arrested and

piled that he was attacking only his

That women will play an important

crowd that packed the court room
to the doors, charged with having

Montecito drive.

The panel from which the jury will
be selected contains about the same
