Siksay Tax
 Abatement Said F alse
Additional Discrepancy of $19O Found in Books of Fugitive Tax Col lector - Local Realty Man Makes Discovery by Accident.

A scrutiny of tax abatements in the books of former Tax Col lector Howard F. Smith, charg- ed with embezZlement of $S5,- 300 of the city's money, may show greater shortages, it was learned today after it became known that Stephen s. Siksay, of 7S5 Boston avenue, president of the Siksay Land company, had found on the books Of Smith an abatement for taxes on the list of 1918 which he de- ,lares that his company has paid.
 That Smith has taken the tax which amounts to $190.53, seems an assured fact after a search has re- vealed that this abatement was never shortage made to the Common Coun- and is not among the records of the council proceedings in the city clerks office.
 Further investigation reveals that there is no record of the Siksay false abatement in the report of the Smith shortage made to the Connoun Coun- Heating.
 Discovery Accidental.
 Siksay declared today that he came across the false abatement of his 1918 tax by accident.
 He was searching records in the town clerks office when he came (Continued on Page 3.)

Hope for a peaceable adjustment Of the railroad strike now in its seventh week and broadening in it's scope, hung only by the slenderest of threads today. This thread was represented by the continued presence in Wash ington of tqaa leaders of the Big -Four Brotherhoods who have undertaken to mediate the differences between the six federated shopcrafts.
 Executives Leave Capital.
 The railway executives have left the capital, after turning down two offers of adjustment-one proposed by President Harding, the other by the men-and they left a deep cloud of pessimiSm behind them.
 Their determined stand on the con tentious and a1l-important question of seniority rights for the strikers, apparently was no whit affected by 36 hours of contact with President Hard ing, members of his Cabinet, and with

Irish Peace Offer.

With Ireland in mourning over the death of Arthur Griffith, a peace offer has been made to the Republican Irregulars by Michael Collins, chief of the Irish provisional government, ad- ministrative body of the Irish Free State, said a Central News dispatch from Dublin today.
 The peace offer, according to the Dublin correspondent of the Central news, was contained in the following statement issued by Collins from great headquarters of the Free State army.
 'It is not too late for Eamonn De Valera and those who are with him to honor the passing of our great patriot by now achieving what that patriot has given his life for-United Ireland.
 "At present I am only a soldier, but I think I can promise that, if those who are against us, will come forward and accept the terms offered by the government, our differences can be composed.
 Some malignant fate seems to be logging Ireland-always deprfving her of the leader she trusts at a criti- cal period"
 Collins said he would not give up his military duties until the rebillion has been put down.

 One of the political sages of the Capitol, a veteran of some twenty odd years of political upsetting, made this prediction a few days ago to a group of his cronies:
 ''This year is going to be known hereafter as the year of the Big Wind. It is going to be a year in which who- ever is the most liberal in his views is going to be nominated in the pri- maries and elected in November whether he be Republican or. Demo- crat.

London, Aug. 14.-A final attempt to reach a tempor- ary compromise agreement on German indemnity was undertaken at No. 10 Down ing street today by Premier Lloyd George, of Britain; emier Poincare, of France; Premier Theunis, of Belgium; Foreign Minister Schanzer, of Italy and Bar on Hayashi, representing Japan. It is understood that definite proposals are now being discussed for another allied conference in Septem- Der or October.
 Strong efforts were made to break the deadlock and reach some kind of agreement upon the proposal for a separations moratorium in view of the fact that the monthly August pay ment of 50,000,000 gold marks by Germany will fall due tomorrow
 Allied experts worked Saturday and Sunday to draw up satisfactory con ditions upon which a temporary mor- atorium can be granted to Germany. It is admitted on all sides now that the settlement will have to be tenn porary as it has been found impossi- ble to reach common ground for a permanent settlement of the Ques- don.-
