d DUBLIN EXECUTIONS
EXPECTED TO PROVOKE
FURTHER SHO0TINGS
az Associated Pressl

LONDON. Dec. 9.-The Expectation
that Yesterdays executions in Dublin
will be followed by further shootings is
expressed today by some of the Dublin
dispatches to the London newspapers.
These correspondents are convinced
that a chain of reprisals will continue.
The Daily Nails Dublin correspond
ent uuotes.a a Free State official as say
ing that there are at least 100 desper-
ate men in the city, who. having no
care for their own lives, will follow the
behest of their leaders and endeavor
to assassinate members of the govern
ment and of the Irish parliament.
StiILHoId Leaders
The correspondent remarks that the
authorities still have in custody sew
eral republican leaders who were cap
tured under. certain circumstances
bringing them within the scope of the
recent proclamation prescribing a sum-
mary military trial and execution of
persons found to possess bombs, explo-
sives or fire arms. These prisoners
include Tom Hailes, brother of Sean
Hailes, the deputy shot on Thursday,
and Michael Kilroy, Sean Russell and
Tom Mcguire.
Reports from Dublin say that there
was promiscuous firing in that city
last night. There was no suggestion
that it was of unusual intensity.

j. S. AND JAPAN MAY
ATTEND CONFERENCE
OF FOREIGN PREMIERS
6Rv Associated Pressl

LONDON, Dec. 9.-The possibility
that Japan and the United States may
be admitted to the conference of the
British, French, Belgian and Italian
premiers here this weekend, is dis
cussed today by the diplomatic cor
respondent of the Daily Telegraph.
The writer says that japan has al
ready formally requested admission
and that although America has not
made the same request "this fact need
not preclude consideration of the
point, especially having in regard the
strong views entertained by Washing
ton and vigorously expressed by the
American ambassadors upon certain
aspects of the issues at stake"
The correspondent suggests that the
four participating delegations may de
vote their first exchange of views to
settling this question, the inference
from his statement apparently being
that if admission is decided upon the
United States would be invited to at
tend.

LIBERTY OF ALLEGED
MURDERESS WANTED
1Rv Associated PressD

DETROIT Dec. 9.-FTiends of Mrs.
Mary B. Ford, charged with plotting
to slay her estrnged husband, Ney J.
Ford. wealthy farmer, renewed their
efforts today to obtain freedom for the
prisoner. Mrs. Ford spent last night
in Jail, unable to raise the S25, 900 bond
required by the recorders court, be-
fore which she pleaded not guilty yes
terday. No date had been set early
today for the examination demanded
by Mrs. Ford's attorneys.
The defense of Mrs. Ford, should
she be placed on trial, is expected to
be based on her statement to the
prosecutor that she was subject to
intermittent loss of memory, or tenn
porary insanity. She did not remem-
ber, she declared, that she had ever
sought to engage a gunman to slay
her wealthy husband that she might
gain possession of the estate as is
charged. If she did reveal such "a
plot to a detective who posed as a
gunman, she said it was during one
of these mental lapses.

Fire Stricken City
to Aid Homeless;
Plan Rebuilding
CBy Associated Press)

ASTORIA, Ore, Dec. 9.-Astoria
today surveyed its losses from the
$12.000,O00 fire which yesterday raz-
ed "a blocks of the city's business
section and set on foot measures to
relieve the $500 persons made home
less by the conflagration.
With the heart of the city in still
smouldering ruins, plans for rebuild
ing were nebulous but it was the gen
eral sentiment that reconstruction on
a larger and more substantial scale
would start as soon as the more i'm
mediate reliefs were supplied.
Hundreds of kilograms offering
money and supplies were received and
the relief committee announced large
amounts of staple foods and quantities
of clothing were needed at once.
Word from Portland, was that spe-
cial train carrying supplies moved
be sent from there today.
Summarized, the situation was as
follows:
Twenty-Five hundred persons home
less. The city without banking facili-
ties. No food obtainable except a
central distributing station establish
ed by a swiftly organized committee
of fifty.
Last night beds were provided for
ALL and hot meals were served at sew
eral stations.
City Aids Sufferers
Hundreds of homes have been
thrown open to those made destitute,
and orders were given to commanders
all of the city's food supplies.
Chief of Police Carlson said that IA
men had been arrested by his officers
during the confusion and that all
were attempting to carry away arti-
cles from stores within the district.
Officials of the Oregon National
Guard sent II officers and men here
from Portland with 1000 cots, 1000
blankets, rolling kitchens, cooking
and food supplies. The latter equip
ment would be sufficient to feed $500
persons in emergency, it was stated
although it was estimated the demand
would not be that great.
Three churches were in the path OF
the flames, but none was burned. In
each case the fire either was checked
before the church was reached OF
veered around the house of worship
Biames Radicals
Mayor Bremner yesterday expressed
the opinion the fire was incendiary
and could be charged to radicals
Chief of Police Carlson concurred ir
this belief.
'I am certain that radicalism is re
sponsible,'' said the mayor. "Of course
there will be a more thorough investi
CATION than has been possible. Wher
| it is over I am sure it will be estab
! lished that the fire was set"

built far out into the water The piles
originally were extended into the deeI
water to accommodate vessels which
otherwise would have had to anchor

SCENE OF MASSACRE
TO WITNESS BIGGEST
TRIAL In HISTORY
CBy United Press)

MARION, H., Dec. 9. - William
county was preparing today to wit
ness the greatest criminal trial in the
history of the Illinois coal fields-the
adjudication of five union miners ac-
cused of murder during the "Herrin
massacre" last June.
With the jury selected and duly
sworn, and an order issued by Circuit
Judge d. T. Hartwel for court to re-
convene Wednesday morning for the
opening statements, farmers, miners,
merchants and housewives were lay
ing plans to let their work wait while
they looked on at the great legal bat
tie
After five weeks of tedious quizzing
of veniremen the jury was finally
completed yesterday and the stage
was set for the taking of testimony
The trial, said by union sympathizers
to be an out and out conflict between
mine operators and union labor was
ready to begin.
Counsel for the prosecution had ap-
parently scored an initial victory
when the list of JURORS was posted,
showing eleven farmers and one mi
ner. Several of the men listed as
farmers, however, are part time" mi
ners and others are closely related to
union miners.

RULING ON FOUR YEAR
COMMISSIONER Term
IN Ohio is SOUGHT

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Dec. 9.-As re-
suit of protest filed against election of
all successful candidates for county
commissioner who were not seeking
reelection, Secretary of State Smith
today is to ask Attorney General Price
for a ruling on the four-year term law
for county commissioners.
Protest was filed by Henry S. Bal
lard and J. B. Ford, attorneys, repre-
senting a committee of county COM
missioners defeated for reelection last
month. They insist that the four-year
term law, under which 1920 and 1922
elections were held, is unconstitution-
al because it provides that of success
full candidates of 1920 the ones receiv-
ing the least votes should serve for
less than two years and submit to cleo
ton for full four-year term this year.
Complaint is also made that there
was no opportunity to vote for any OF
the 1920 candidates for definite terms

SOLONS BUSY
ON HARDING'S
BIG PROGRAM
Take First Steps on
Recommendation
BY PAUL r. MALLoN

WASHINGTON, Dec. 9-Congress to-
day took initial steps to carry out the
huge legislative program outlined yes
terday by President Harding although
it is realized that all the recommends
tions cannot be enacted at this ses-
sion.
The legislative situation as the re-
suit of the presidents address may be
summarized as follows:
Taxation-The house ways and
means committee will ask the rules
committee next week to arrange to
sandwich between appropriation bills,
resolutions for amending the constitu-
ton to prohibit tax exempt securities.
Ways and means leaders hope to have
the house adopt the resolution next
Wednesday
Will Aid Farmers
Rural Credits-In both houses the
agriculture and banking and currency
committees will tackle mass of leg
islation and try to whip into shape a
bill that will satisfy the farm bloc
and the administration. In the house
the Anderson bill, creating a farm
credits department with $5,000,000
capital in each federal reserve bank,
probably will be the basis of commit
tee work
Railroads-The presidents recon-
mendation for abolition of the railroad
labor board and his other suggested
legislative reforms in the transporta-
ton law will be considered by the
house and senate interstate commerce
committees at meetings to be held
within few days. If Mr.. Harding's s
recommendations for merger of the
railroads into a few big systems, and
for legislation to prevent strikes, are
insisted upon, there can be no rail
road legislation at this session. 1t is
considered unlikely by leaders that,
with the appropriation bills and other
routine problems to attend to, con.
gress will find time this winter to
tackle the big controversial question
of railroad legislation.
immigration Discussion
Immigration-The senate and house
immigration committees will meet the
coming week. While immigration is
considered too large a question for sat
isfactory solution in the hustle of a
short session there will be much dis
: cpssion OF it. The hause COMMITTEES
will have hearings On resolutions adj
hitting war refugees from Turkey
and Thrace.
Mr.. Harding's suggestion for regis
tration of aliens would require treaties
and is inadvisable in the opinion OF
the house leaders. Chairman Johnson
of the house committee wants to re
duce the present three per cent limit
, on immigration to 1 u per cent.
Child Labor-The house Judiciary
committee probably will present q
resolution amending the constitution
to give congress power to prevent
child labor.
Prohibition-The presidents denun
citation of violators of the Volstead act
and the 18th amendment was expected
to result in new legislative sugges
tionS.

BOARD TRANSACTIONS

CHICAGO, Dec. 9.-Discrepancies in
financial accounts of the Chicago
school board were alleged by an aud
iting company that investigated the
books of the board at the direction
of Robert E. Grove, states attorney,
and made public today its report
which stated it had been unable TO
account for $1,39S,198 in the factory
division and 94,236 tons of coal valued
at $74S, ,493.
The report stated that a check-pp OF
the cost of general repairs and equip
ment showed an increase of $50 per
cent, notwithstanding the almost gen
eral reduction in material prices
shown by 1921 as against 1919"
Commenting on school division, the
report said: "The business administra-
ton, to say the least, was grossly in
competent" In calculating its report
on coal purchasing the auditing com
pany said that an increase in price
Of IS per cent shown by 192O-21 over
the burning season of 1920 appears
excessive.
