ENGINEER PRESENTS
RUSSIAN CLAIM FOR
EAST CHINA RAILWAY
IRepublIcan A. p. Leased WireI

WASHINGTON, Jan. S.-John T..
Oblomievsky, a Russian engineer and
a builder of the Chinese Eastern rail-
way, arrived today in an official ca
pacity as a Russian expert to work
for preservation of the interests of
the Russian people In the line at the
proceedings Of the arms conference.
1--WE hope that the conference will
remember that the Chinese Eastern
railway was built with money taken
from the Russian people," he said.
"and that the loss of this railway to
Russia would mean the cutting off Of
Siberia from the Pacific. We hope
the conference will act as moral trus-
tees of Russia at this time of her
temporary disability. We trust that
the conference will confirm the Rus
sian Chinese treaty of 1896 and will
call on the Chinese government to
revise the private agreement, con-
cluded on October 2, 1920, inasmuch
as some parts of this agreement con-
tradicts the fundamental treaty of
1896.
Recognition Of the Russian legiti-
mate rights in accordance with the
treaty of 1896 would make 1t possible
TO establish the council of consuls in
Harbin as a body that would super
wise the execution Of the treaty by
both contracting parties. In this ca
pacity the council of consuls would
succeed the inter allied technical
board now in Harbin, which was or
ganized only as a temporary body
for supervising various technical
matters connected with the presence
of the allied troops in Siberia.
Up TO the moment Of the bolshevist
revolution, Russias rights on the
railway were never encroached upon.
The temporary disintegration of the
Russian state brought about a ten
dency by some Chinese to eliminate
the Russian legitimate interests.
Fortunately, there were other Chi
nese statesmen who understood the
danger of such a step, and OH Octo-
Der 2, 1920, a temporary agreement
was concluded between the Russian
management and the Chinese as
basis for continuation Of the Russian
Chinese cooperation.

Eight Near Death
From Varnish In
Communion Cups
IRepubIlcan A. p. Leased Wlrel

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich, Jan. S.
Eight elders of the Seventh Reformed
church here were poisoned at the
morning service today when they
drank varnish that had been poured
into a communion cup in the belief it
was sacramental wine. Two of the
elders were said to be in a critical
condition.
The church recently had been re-
paired and in the storeroom where
the sacramental wine is kept in a jug
several jugs of varnish had been
stored. An official of the church is
said to have mistaken the varnish for
wine when he filled the communion
cup.
The eight elders were the first to
drink. AS the cup was being passed
to other members of the congregation
the elders were seen to fall. Many
church members became panic
stricken and rushed from the edifice.
A physician was summoned and the
stricken men taken to hospitals or
their homes.
The communion cup was passed to
the elders Immediately after Rev. D.
A. Van Lummel. the pastor, had COM
pleted his sermon. Elder John Rie-
void was the first to drink. The
others collapsed in rapi1 succession.
Little hope was entertained by hos
pital attendants for the recovery Of
Elders Folkerysma and Henry Terk-
hurt.

BRAND AND GEORGE
HOLD FIRST TALK ON
PROPOSED ALLIANCE
LRepubIlcan A. P. Leased Wire1

IRepubllcan a. p. Leased Wire1
CANNES, Jan. S.-Premiers BRAND
and Lloyd George today had their
first talk here on the future relations
between France and Great Britain.
1t is understood that they went over
broadly the principal questions.
A Franco-British alliance for mu-
tual defense has created a strong
under current of opinion here, not
withstanding that the atmosphere
has seemed to be little favorable to
negotiations tending to make rela-
tions between the countries closer.
The two premiers appear far apart
regarding the attitude the allies
ought to take toward Germany after
the default in the payment of repara-
uons. and are not in accord as 10
whether the explanations ought to be
heard here.
Council circles were much agitated
today by reports from Paris that
treaty had been signed, but the only
document known to exist touching
on an alliance is memorandum
Which gives reasons as a basis for
such a pact.
M. Brands declaration for an al
lance before he departed from Paris
made a marked impression on the
British. when he advanced the argu-
ment that it would be easier to deal
with France on European questions,
If she were not able to hold forth as
an argument on her part failure to
secure from the United States guar
antees for her security. such as would
have been given her II the Versailles
tripartite agreement had been ratl-
fled.
belgium cannot renounce the
privilege, acknowledged by all the
allies, the priority payments by Ger
many" said M. Jaspar, Belgian for
eign minister, today.
I'VE recognized the Wiesbaden
agreement granting France 1885,
100000 marks in kind. but the allies
must recognize our needs, and, I'm
as much as Germany can pay in 1922,
we want our priority in the pay
ments.'
Reparation experts have increased
the total amount Germany would be
required to pay in cash in 1922 from
5O0.O0O,000 gold marks to 700 O00, 900
This was done as a concession to
Belgium when 1t was seen 500, 600. 900
would be absorbed in the cost Of the
eI HiieS OF occupation.
The allies are anxiously awaiting
a reply from the United States to the
invitation to join in the economic
conference.
There is considerable speculation
here as to how the United States win
regard the new attitude toward Rus
STA, but both the French and British
delegates are of the opinion that the
United States will recognize Russia
on the condition they have laid down.

Split In Dali Eireann
Menace To Irish Peace
Gigantic I ask
F ace s Irish In
Reorganization
~ MILTON sRONNER

DUBLIN, Jan. S.--Sinn Fein lead
ers today realize that gaining free
dom for Ireland was only the first
step of a gigantic task.
They must now set about building
an entirely new government structure
from cellar to roof.
During the fighting OF the last IS
months the loose. rambling structure
called the Sim Fein government
functioned very well.
But it was a war organization. II
Is unsuited TO the uses of peace.
New Organization Needed
Now Sim Fein must work out an
organization that will take over and
administer the branches Of governs
ment formerly in British hands. 1t
will be guided only by the precedent
Of Canada, Australia and other self
governing dominions.
First, Sim Fein statesmen must
work out written constitution linn
iting powers and functions of par
lament, cabinet and judiciary.
Government costs money. That
means taxation. Sim Fein must pre-
pare budget and pass taxation laws
1t must appoint Irish tax collectors to
fill the places of the deposed British
officials.
Government implies protection of
life and property. That means armed
forces. The Royal irish constabulary
that has guarded Ireland for scores
Of years will be disbanded.
Army Is Necessary
So Sim Fem must organize police
forces and an army. Plenty of ma
terial will be found in the ranks of
the present revolutionary Irish re-
publican army
And the new Ireland win need
courts-police courts, magisterial
courts. courts OF appeal, a supreme
court. Skeleton courts have been in
existence since the revolution started,
but a much more elaborate system
will be needed.
Important cabinet positions win be
those dealing with agriculture and
industry. Sim Fein already has in
vestigated methods of improving
farming and dairying, increasing
fisheries and encouraging industries
and can present detailed reports to
the new government
a protective tariff bill probably
will be needed to foster home indus
tries and bar outside competition.
And Ireland win have the right to
issue its own postage stamps and
money. Very soon. it is reported, the
government will offer prizes to Irish
artists for designing emblematic
stamps and coins.

Newberry Makes
Defense OF Seat
In Senate TODAY
TRepubllcan A. p. Leased WIrel


WASHINGTON, Jan. s. - Senate
debate on the right OF Truman II.
Newberry to hold a seat in that body
was expected to reach a climax to-
morrow when Mr.. Newberry plans
to take the floor to defend himself
against charges OF corruption in the
Michigan elections. The senator.
whose claim is being contested by
Henry Ford. his Democratic opponent
on the ground that about $3.50, 900 was
spent to win the nomination and
election, will read a prepared speech
and, according to plans, will submit
to questions by any senator so long
as the queries are reasonable"
The senate faces probably a full
week of discussion of the controver-
sy which had its inception in the
Michigan elections of 1913 in which
it is said President Wilson urged
Henry Ford to participate.
Chairman Hull of the Democratic
national committee, in a statement
issued tonight, declared that almost
incredible are the news reports that
"the president is even remotely using
the moral influence of his great office
to seat Newberry by becoming a vol
untary character witness and there
by to sanction the orgies of election
corruption"
Mr.. Hull warned that the partisan
Republicans" may overlook the enor-
nifty Of the charges and the gravity
of the offense but that the American
people will not close their eyes" TO
them. The people will be made keen
ly aware. the statement says. that if
Mr.. Newberry is seated, IL will not be
due ito political necessity, but to a
brazen policy Of political bargain ard
sale. long pursued by the reactionary
leadership now in control of the Re-
publican party"

DECIDE ON PLAN
OF CAMPAIGN At

President and Representa-

for Party Solidarity On
Important Measures

WASHINGTON, Jan. ga move
toward party solidarity and an effort
70 find ways and means of increasing
the efficiency of the Republican party
IN congress, 1t was learned today,
was the two-fold purpose of the
White House dinner Saturday night
which brought together President
Harding and representative Republi-
can leaders.
Decision was practically reached on
what was described as two matters of
first important:
Enactment Of a soldier bonus bill,
and early assembling of a Republican
senate conference to reconcile any
differences which may be found to
exist in party councils over the form
TO be given legislation for refunding
allied debts.
These subjects were inter-con-
nected in the discussion since the pos
sible income Of the debts, it was
fairly generally agreed. stood out as
the best chance OF recouping bonus
expenditure with sales tax sug
gested as the only alternative.
Secretary Weeks and Attorney
General Daugherty participated, as
did Chairman John T. Adams of the
Republican national committee, SEN
ators Lodge. Watson OF Indiana, Cur
It's, Brandegee and McCumber;
Speaker Gillett and Republican Lead
er Mondell from the house, and Rep
resentatives Madden. Illinois, Ford
ney. Michigan, Darrow, Pennsylvania.
Anderson, Minnesota and Saunders,
Indiana.
Chiefly the discussion bore on the
legislative situation in the senate
where it was agreed that the most inn
portant measures, aside from the rou-
tine of appropriations. the tariff, the
oonus and refunding proposals need
ed agreement and adjustmen. TO
force them through semi -blockades.
Debt Funding Bill
Senate leaders had today an out
line Of a program for the senate
which indicated that. after disposing
of the Newberry contest and the pro-
posed amendment to the federal re-
serve act, action first would be sought
on the foreign debt funding measure.
The soldier bonus bill was slated as
next, with provisions for payment de-
pendent largely by the final form Of
debt funding legislation. Republican
party conferences on each question
are scheduled for the near future, it
was understood.
Following the bonus bill senators
said. either the tariff or the arms
treaties would be the senate's work
Some senators did not believe that
the tariff bill would be ready to take
third place while others declared that
the import tax schedules would be
completed by February Is, a date
which they believed would be earlier
than the treaties would be submitted.
President Harding was said to
have indicated his view that con-
gressional members should furnish
the leadership and basis for agree
ments, particularly on formulating
policies, but expressed a desire to
