BEST XMAS CLEAN UP At P. 0.
Only so Packages Remain UndeliEered
at Topeka Office.

Less than fifty Christmas packages
remain at the Topeka postoffice for
distribution. according to Postmaster
W. o. Rigby, which he says is the
best cleanup the office has ever had
following a holiday period. Most of
these, Rigby says, are bad order pack
ages with the names of both sender
and addressee missing and will soon
go to the dead letter office
Every effort. however, is being made
to first get the packages to the per
son for whom they were intended or
back to the original owner All of
the packages were opened today in
an effort to trace them. Sometimes
d name is found which will aid in get
ting the parties located and lists of the
contents will help in answering in
quiries- Where the name of the town
from which the package was sent is
available that office is communicated
with to aid inquiries from that end.
Packages will be delivered to persons
proving proper Identification. Rigby
says, and suggests that Topekans who
get them make inquiry at once. Let
ters from persons sending the pack
ages giving a brief description are
usually sufficient, the postmaster says.
Not only is this the best after Christ
mas cleanup the Topeka office has
ever had but the loss and damage
claims from all over the state are less
this year than ever before, according
to Rigby. who gives full credit to the
campaign which has been staged dur
ing the past few years in favor of hav-
ing packages better and more secure
ly wrapped before mailing

PLAN R. R. STRIKE
Affiliated Unions of Pennsyl-
yania Road Have Order Ready.
OnIv Wait Landis' Decision on
Wage Board Authority.

New York. Jan. 12.-All plans have
been laid for a strike on the Pennsyl-
vania railroad. it was learned here
today from authoritative sources.
Executives of the railway employees
department of the American Fedora
ton of Labor, who have been meeting
in Chicago, have decided to issue &
strike call, it was learned, withholding
action until Judge Lands, of the
United States court, renders a decision
in a suit instituted by the Pennsyl-
vania attacking the constitutionality
cf the railroad labor board.
The Pennsylvania refused to com
ply with an order of the board to call
a new election of employees following 4
protest of the national federated shop
crafts that the election held had been
company affair and Disseminated
against union men.
1t is understood that the Brother
hood of Railroad Clerks and the other
unions affiliated with the American
Federation of Labor, including all the
union employees on the railroad with
the exception of the big four brother
hoods will join the shop crafts in 4
walkout to effect a complete tieup of
the Pennsylvania system.

VALERA WILL FIGHT
Calls Meeting of Opponents to
Peace Treaty.
Ex-President Of Erin Ignores
Pact Ratification.
(By the Associated Press.)

Dublin. Jan. 12.-Leaders Of the
Sim Fein faction opposing the peace
treaty have been summoned for today
by Eamonn de Valera, deposited presi-
dent of the Dali, to consider the gem
eral situation growing out of ratifica-
ton of the treaty. Meanwhile, Arthur
Griffith, the new president, has start
ed the machinery of his provisional
government, one of his first acts be-
ing to summon the south ireland par
lament for a meeting on Saturday for
the purpose of formally passing upon
the treaty. This formal ratification is
specifically provided for in the pact.
Valera to Ignore Ratification.
Mr.. De Valera has stated that he
will ignore the meeting on Saturday
and believes his followers will do like
wise. The supporters of Mr.. Griffith
believe that this insures unanimous
approval of the treaty by the remain
ing members with the added votes of
the four unionist members for Dub
lin university.
1t is expected that the proceedings
will be brief and formal and that the
acts taken by the cabinet in the in
terim will be approved, thus confirm
ing the constitution of that body as
announced by President Griffith.
For Coalition Cabinet.
1t is rumored that one of the union
ist members of the parliament may be
added to the cabinet thus giving a
coalition completion to the admins
tration. The British authorities have
begun their evacuation from Dublin
castle. In addition preparations for
the withdrawal of British military
forces are understood to be going for
ward. All these developments are
construed as strengthening the posi-
ton of the new Irish government.
While Griffith and his collea CUES
are going ahead with their plans
there is no lack of the prophets of
evil, ready to emphasize the pitfalls
surrounding their task-such as the
republican opposition the technical il
legality OF any act of the provisional
government until the treaty is formally
ratified both in Ireland and in Eng
land, the alleged bitter hostility of a
large section of the Irish republican
army, and similar issues.

WOULD MAKE ARMY EXAMPLE
General Pershins Wants Cooperation
Between Regulars and Guard.

Junction City. Kan, Jan. f2.-"Of-
ficers of the regular army should so
perfect themselves in the various
branches of duty that the regular
army will be an example to the ma
tional guard and reserve officers corps
and bring the two branches into closer
relationship with each other at all
times" Gen. John J. Pershing said
Wednesday afternoon in a brief ad-
dress to the assembled Fort Riley gar
r1son. General Pershing commended
the progress made in the cavalry
school which he inspected this morn
ing.
Following an exhibition ride staged
in his honor by the instructors of the
cavalry school, General Pershing was
the guest of honor at a luncheon given
by Brig. Gen. Malin Craig, command
ant at Fort Riley and Mrs. Craig. At
z:S0 o'clock General Pershing awarded
the distinguished service cross to First
Lieut. r. NJ. Eichelsdoerfer for brav-
cry under fire, and the distinguished
service medal to Col L. w. Oliver for
special work in the transport service
during the war
A brief inspection of Camp Funston

CALL MORE JURORS
First Panel in ArbuckIe Already
Nearly Exhausted.
Three Women Tentatively
Seated in Film Stars Case.

H. San Francisco, Jan. 12.-Exhaustion
of the first panel of jurors without
She selection of a jury to hear the
evidence in the. second trial of Roscoe
Fatty ArbuckIe for manslaughter
doomed as a possibility today as the
task of selecting jury was resumed.
OF the original sixty-fiye. in the
panel, but twenty remained today.
Seven were tentatively seated in the
box, including three women. Five
men were in the box ready for exami-
nation today. When the box is tenta-
lively filled, peremptory challenges
will quickly empty it again. 1t is be-
lieved that few of the seven jurors
passed for cause when court resumed
today will survive the wedding out
process thru challenges.
Judge Louderback was prepared for
exhaustion of the jury panel in his
court. He has arranged for the sum-
moning of jurors already regularly
drawn and serving in other courts.
Thus there will be no delay when the
present supply of talesmen runs out.
AT the rate of passing the first day,
a jury will be hardly sworn before
Saturday. altho the procedure of selee-
tion may be expected to be speeded up
as the jury box fills.
Gavin McNab chief counsel for Ar
buckle, and Milton Y Ken, assistant
district attorney, in their questioning
of jurors, opened up a new line of in
quiry which indicates that testimony
in the second trial may deviate con-
siderably from the lines of the first
trial.
Prospective jurors were asked
whether absence of testimony in this
trial that was given at the first trial
or introduction of evidence not given
at the first trial would influence them.
McNab also asked if they would take
into consideration failure to present
the best evidence"

Washington, Jan. ia difference
of opinion regarding rules for the dis
position of prescribed battleships re-
manned to be settled by the big five
today when they resumed their final
revision of the naval limitation treaty.
Agreement on this point was tex-
pected without prolonged debate, how
ever, and with the entire text of the
treaty proper already virtually ap-
proved and the first of the treaty an
neXes embodying a replacement chart
disposed of, the delegation heads
hoped to have a treaty completed and
ready for public discussion at a plen-
ary session Saturday or Monday.
To make this possible. the japanese
delegates expected to receive tomor-
row Tokio's reply to their message re-
garding the Pacific fortification agree
ment.
Disagree on Junking.
On the question of rules for dispos-
ing of prescribed battleships the pro-
posal of the American delegation that
such vessels be rendered entirely use
less failed to receive yesterday the as
sent of Great Britain and Japan. whose
delegates suggested that the ships af-
ter dismantled, might be used as har-
Dor guards or training vessels.
They argued that absolute scrap
ping would mean useless financial

readily supported the American posi-
ton that use of the vessels would not
accord with the spirit of the scrapping
agreement.
Japs Muddlc Situation.
Prospects for a quick adjustment OF
the fertilization issue now referred to
! Toxic were strengthened today by the
declaration of Vice Foreign Minister
Hanihara that he saw no objection tc
including Bonin island and the Oshima
group in the status quo" agreement
These islands, he said, were the only
ones that had come up for discussicH
in connection with the question

garded as a part of her homeland
Resume Shantung Debate.
While the japanese and Chinese
held another meeting today on thf
Shantung question after reaching q
tentative agreement yesterday regard
ing withdrawal of japanese troops
within the province, plans for the re-
sumption of the general far eastern
negotiations were being laid by mem
bers of the various delegations.
.. Regarding China's plea for consid-
Grafton of the twenty one demands,'
the prediction in Japanese quarters
that this would be quickly ruled out
by the far eastern committee appear
ed to be supported generally by Amer
lean official opinion.
There were indications that Japan's
objections to the Chinese request when
formally brought forward will be sup
ported not only by the Americans but
by the British-and probably other for
eign delegations as well.

EVACUATION OF ERIN RUSHED

London, Jan. liking George to-

granting amnesty to all Irish political
prisoners.
This was the second grant of am
nesty,. since the Irish peace treaty was
signed. The first covered minor Of
fenses and released about 5000 Sim
Fe.ners from jail.
The number of prisoners released
under today's royal proclamation to-
tailed exactly 1,00e. They include IS
convicted of murder and 121 convict
ed of attempted murder.
Is First Official Recognition.
Colonial Secretary Winston Church.
i'll said that the royal decree of am
nesty was Great Britain's first official
action in recognizing 1reland's domin-
ion status.
The amnesty proclamation con-
cludes with the words:
His majesty is confident in the
hope that this act will aid powerfully
in re-establishing relations of friend
ship and good will between the peo-
pies of Britain and Ireland
Amnesty extended to all offenses
committed in Ireland from political
motives prior to the Irish armistice

Lives of Eighteen Saved.
There were eighteen Sim Feiners in
Belfast jail under sentence of death.
Execution of the condemned men on
the gallows was to have begun in
Belfast this morning.
The British authorities at Dublin
are prepared to turn over to the Irish
republican army enough guns and am
munition to equip it fully for the
preservation of order. The minister
of defense in the Dublin provisional
government has been informed that
the British will turn over any bar
racks or other buildings necessary for
the housing of Irish troops.
Belief is current in government cir
cles that President Griffith will hold
an Irish election in two months and
that the new parliament will be as
sembled Immediately to draw up Ire
lands first national constitution.
Rush Irish Evacuation.
The Irish office is rushing the evac-
uation of Ireland by British military
forces because British officials are
convinced that the first election in the
Irish free state will be marked by con-
flicts and disorders, it was learned this
afternoon.
The British cabinet is convinced
that interference by British soldiers
or police or any attempt by the Brit
ish military authorities to maintain
order in Ireland might lead to tragic
consequences, in fact some officials
ence by the British military forces
might wreck the Irish free state.
Consequently, it has been decided to
let the young state meet its first gi-
gantic test of strength without moles-
tation from the outside.
