Neither De Valera
Nor Free State
Ready for Farley

Dublin. May 9.-(By A. P)-Cor-
respondence read in the Dael Eirann
today tended to confirm the general
impression that a negotiated peace
between the Free State and the Re-
publicans is impossible. The docu-
ments revealed that neither the Free
State authorities nor canon de Va
lera and his Republican followers are
ready to make any advance from
their attitude made known a year
ago. =,
The correspondence read was be-
tween De Valera and Senators Jane
son and Douglas. the latter of whom
had accepted the task of intermed-
iaries. 1t brought out the fact that
De Valera was insistent upon cleo
tions by mid-September and that the
Republicans should be permitted to
sit in the Free State parliament
without taking the oath of allegiance.

Govt. Refused
Injunction Sought
in Sugar Futures

New York. May 9-The govern
mcnt's application for a temporary
injunction to enjoin trading in raw
sugar futures by the New York COT
fee and Sugar Exchange and it's
Clearing association was denied to-
day by the United States Circuit
Court Of Appeals before which the
case was heard. The cour- announced
that a memorandum stating it's rea-
sons might be filed later.
The temporary injunction had been
applied for pending final hearing on
the charge that transactions in raw
sugar futures. as operated by the eX
change and it's clearing association,
constituted n conspiracy or agree
ment in restraint of trade in violation
of the Sherman law and Wilson tar
if act.
The government asked the court
particularly to enjoin trading in raw
sugar futures which were not backed
up by ownership or control of actual
sugar. stating that Investigations
had shown that only a small fraction
of the sugars dealt in had actually
been delivered to refiners or sugar
dealers.
The prices OF refined sugar were
artificia3ly fixed, said the United
States attorney, who charged they
were manipulated for gambling or
speculative purposes.
Attorney General Daugherty'S state.
mont was made after a lengthy
conference with his assistants. Mr..
Daugherty and Assistant Attorney
General Seymour. who has had charge
of the sugar proceedings. said that re-
ceipt of word from opposing counsel
was awaited to determine further &C
ton.
II the law should be found deficient
and so determined by the supreme
court. their view was that the depart
ment would have met its responsibility,
leaving further action for extension of
the law or amendment up TO Congress.

ALASKANS MAKE BIG DEAL WITH
 CUCCENHEIMS

SEATTLE, Jan. 29.-Announcement was made here Saturday by Maurice D. Leehey, attorney for the selling parties, that Tom Aiken and bis partner, Tom Price, have com. pleted a deal with the Guggenheim interests for the purchase of their properties in the upper kantishna for one million dollars. Aiken has had a somewhat spectacular career. Deserted in Seattle by an actress whom he had married in New York City and upon whom he is said to have squandered a fortune, he went to Alaska in 1914 to start life anew. Price is a former resident or Nome, and together with certain
 San Francisco interests is said to have made 8 million dollars from gold-dredging operations last year.

FORTUNES ARE SMALL
 AMONG FRENCH PEOPLE

PARIS, Jan. 29.-According to the tax collectors figures, France is not a country where large personal for tunes exist. In the last year out of a total population of 30,000000 only a little more than 500,000 declared their income to be more than 10000 francs ($1,5O0) a year. Private fortunes in France are so distributed over the country that while in the aggregate they make a big total they prove that there are few very rich people. At least, this is one of the reasons given to parliament by the minister of fi- nance to show that the taxation of incomes in France is not as productive as in England and America.

BATTLESHP ENDS
 CAREER AS TARGET

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 29.-The bat tleship Iowa, veteran of the Spanish American War, recently passed down the Delaware from the local navy yard on it's way to Hampton Roads, there to be put in final shape for it's last voyage to join the twilight fleet of the American Navy-those obsolete bat tleships which have ended their exist ence as targets for the guns of their comrades afloat.
 The Iowa enjoys the unique distinc tion of being the only wireless-con trolled warship in the world, and has demonstrated it's ability to maneuveI under orders sent by radio from a con trol ship miles away.
 Heretofore the Navy has bombarded stationary ships anchored as targets but in February, off Panama the Iowa will provide a moving objective tc test the gun pointers skill. In hel decks are patches over the places where she was hit by dummy bombs of cement hurled from airplanes some time ago in experiments off the Della ware Capes.
 Whether the old warship will only last a few minutes under the fire o1 the Navy's superdreadnaughts or will stand the rending smash of the mon ster shells for longer period, remains to be seen. As planned, there will be intervals between salvos to permit ob servations of the damage wrought fol future design of the Governments bat tleships.
 The passing of the old ship brings many regrets among naval reserVlstS here who served aboard her during the World War
