Litigation Over a Ton Whale, Where- upon Court Directs That It Be Brought Into Court Room.

Biloxi, Miss, April 17.-As a result of legal squabble over the owner- ship of a defunct whale found several days ago off the coast of Biloxi, the federal district court here issued a writ of sequestration directing the United States marshal to seize and bring into court" the whale weighing more than 75 tons and measuring more than 65 feet and valued at $10,- coo.
 Rojcllo Lopez, captain of the fish ing boat San Francisco, and his crew found the dead whale floating few miles off the mainland and lowed 1t to the northeast end of Deer island. After attaching a placard bearing the captains name and that of his boat, the crew anchored it and proceeded to New Orleans. Upon their return they found another party in posses sion of the whale. Legal proceedings immediately were begun by Lopez and his crew.
 A suit in the name of Lopez ct al against the J. Desport and the Des- porting Packing Go. was instituted and a writ of replevin issued enjoin- ing the company from disposing of the whale pending the courts ruling.
 In the meantime a Biloxi concern offered S10,00 for the whale.

 Often he was forced to put on wet clothes on arising despite cold morn ings, he said, and even after his hands and feet were about rotted and l was so weak I could hardly wabble around, he beat me just the same, kicked and struck me with his fist"
 White charged in his document Senator Knabb sent for him some time after the state prison inspector had seen his condition at the camp and that he went to Knabb's home, where he was kept, he asserted, in the hope that he would fee before his condition could be noted Later he was removed to jail.

IRISH INDICATIONS ARE
 THAT PEACE MAY BE NEAR
Reports That Irregulars Arc Getting Discouraged Lend strength
 To Belief.

London. April 17,-tBy Associated press) - The improved prospects, of early peace in Ireland as result Of the utter Reorganization of the re- publican movement through the re- cent government successes are leading many people throughout tho country to question the wisdom Of pressing for fight to finish. says Dublin dispatch to the Times.
 The Free State has some 12,000 to 15,000 prisoners in it's jails," the cor respondent writes, and the problem of their future is becoming acute. If the government insists upon a Garth aginian peace, these men will como out of the prisons cowed for the mo- ment but sullen and resentful at what they consider peace of vengeance.
 More seeds of bitterness will be sown and the spirit of revenge will be kept alive by the women. Thus the children will grow up as in the past with spirit of hatred for the existing institutions bred in their bones,
 There is growing feeling that Dc valera snould II posSipie DC gwen q chance to save his face"
 As an indication of the prevalent feeling the correspondent quotes the Irish Times as advocating confer ence between government represen- tative and the republicans with a neu- tral chairman. It suggests Monsignor Luzio for this post.
 The newspaper announces the idea may not be pleasing to the govern ment but says conference is the only alternative to continuing of the fighting until the extremists have been utterly crushed. It urges that the government cannot be endangered by such a conference which may bring "a safe peace"-'the only peace the nation can afford to accept.

MUSICAL SNOBBERY
 HOLDS OPERA DOWN
Mrs. Freer Deplores Discrimina. tion Against English Language

Chicago, April l7,--Artstic snob- bism should be abolished at once and for all time. or as a nation we can leave no trace behind. declared Mrs. Archibald Freer, chairman of the Opera in Our Language Foundation. in an address to the Affiliated Clubs of Chicago.
 There is patriotism in art. or there Is no patriotism at all" continued Mrs. Freer. Had the countries of Europe followed our past policies, there would have been no Wagner, no Verdi or DeBussy.
 We as nation have a language; we have American trained singers and more than 70 American operas fit for hearing in any opera house Tn this country and to have them banished from companies incorporated in the United States Is an injustice every true- hearted American should resent.
 Every country of Europe is sing ing its own vernacular, which means they are building up their own nation- al music and literature. They take good or bad translations, but insist on their own language.
 But we must go still further. How can we build up good citizenship with condition existing such as three score foreign language newspapers in Chicago in which no word of English appears We cannot carry facts or art to the citizen who does not know our language.
 These newspapers and all like them by government decree. should be bilingual. Our children will have no careers in this artistic field if we do not demand opera in English of all companies incorporated in the United States.
 Poor translations are being harped upon, but without cause, for in the private library of Mrs. Edith Rocke- feller Mccormick, masterly transla- tions are being made of the foreign operatic repertory, later to be given to our public opera companies. Coop eration of the public, every small community that has singers. choral clubs, small or large orchestras, and particularly the small opera company such as one sees in Europe must be had"

 He urged that the safety congress undertake to inform those industries in which government tests have shown the dust explosion to exist of meas ures to control the danger

 Announcement on Clipping
 The clipping announced that there was to be masked ball that evening at a well-known hall in the city. With this as his main clue the inspector assured the diplomat that he would restore the papers, and, after as- signing detective 10 watch the pal- ace, he hurried away to don a fancy costume. He was going to the ball.
 The only costume he could find was his old full dress Austrian uniform, a souvenir of the days when Prague was part of the Austrian empire. As he was leaving his house the de- tective at the legation telephoned him that the daughter of the Janitor or the legation had just left her apart ments in the costume of Carmen.
 It did not take the inspector long to locate Carmen at the ball. She was seeking man who eventually appeared in the uniform of a Hun garian magnate, and wearing the customary black mask. The pair withdrew discroetly into quiet room and the inspector waited at the only exit
 Soon they came out, the girl wear ing an expensive necklace she had not had on before. The inspector ap- preached Carmen and the Hungarian magnate ard spoke a few quiet but well-chosen words. There was no protest and no scene. They proceed ed with him to taxicab, and on the way to the railroad station the in- spector stopped at police headquar- ters. Expert hands searched the pair and the inspector quietly took pos session of the diplomats portfolio, the necklace, and other pieces Of jewelry.
 Mir, D. drove on alone, and arrived at the railroad station after the gates for the night train had been closed. On the platform he found the young diplomat with watch in hand trying 10 persuade the train crew to delay departure for just few mon nents.
 Mir. D- made good his prom ise. He handed the diplomat his portfolio and in it were intact the missing documents and the jewels

Suddenly Interrupted

MT. D--- seated one afternoon in his office behind a pile of papers, was interrupted suddenly by young diplomat representing one of the great powers of Europe, who de- clared his business to be most urgent, He related that wallet containing documents Of great value had been stolen. He had left it for few mo- ments on his writing table to go to another room in the legation. and when he returned it was gone. Fur thermore. there were jewels in the wallet, his personal property. but their abstraction did not disturb the young foreigner half as much as the loss of the papers.
 T must leave Prague by the night train" he explained to the inspector, .'and l will be ruined for life if these documents cannot be recovered.'
 Mir. D. drove to the legation and looked over the wallet substitut- ed for that of the diplomat. It con- tained Prague newspaper from which a clipping had been made. The inspector secured an intact copy or this paper and was thus able to read the clipping cut out by the thief.
