TO BRIDGE GAP IN
 G. 0. P. SAYS WATSON
Difference Over International Court
 To Be Smoother, Senator Says

PITTSBURG, April 27.-Seemine differences over the world court be- tween President Harding and some of the republican senators will be smoothed out in the end. Senator James E. Watson of Indiana, pre- dicted in speech before the fa- nous Americus Republican club here today.
 Because Senator Watson is one ot the influential regular republicans who have differed with the President regarding the court. his address was regarded as forecasting an ultimate bridging of the gap in the party ranks.
 Senator Watson denounced the League of Nations and involvement in European affairs, but he was si lent s to the merits-cf txe court pro posal. He agrus deN ithe 5Presf- dents recent oi .ration that do- mestic questions 'call for first con sideration.
 While some seeming differences have developed in the republican party over the world court, yet 1 believe that finally they will be smoothed out without producing dis cord in our ranks" Senator Watson said. in his reference to the court. For what else may be said or done, we all are determined not to enter the League of Nations or to permit ourselves to become involved in the endless turmoil that for thousands of years has cursed the continent ot Europe"

De Valera Orders Cessation Of Battles Pending Negotia- tions With Free Staters-- cIares Ultimate Court Of Ap-
 peal Is People Themselves
REPUBLICAN "PRESIDENT" STOPS ALL POSSIBILITIES
IrreguIars Indicate They Do Not Consider Their Action
 As Yielding To Dublin Gov-
 ernment, And Will Keep Their Ammunition Intact

DNBLIN, April 27.-(By Associated Press.)-A suspension of hostilities by the Irish republicans against the forces of the Free State government and an effort to negotiate peace with the Free State on certain conditions were proclaimed tonight by Emon De Valera, the republican leader, and his chief of staff, E. F. Aitkin.
 DeValera's proclamation set forth the general political principles of the republicans and asserts that the ulti- mate court of appeals for deciding disputed questions is a majority vote of the people of Ireland; that resis- tance by violence should be excluded. but that adequate facilities should be afforded the people for a proper pre- sentation of the issues involved. The proclamation adds that nobody hold ing republican principles should be excluded from Parliament and the council of the nation. It says the military forces are servants of the nation and amendab ble to freely elected assembly.
 suspend Hostilities.
 DeValera expresses the belief that lis declaration affords a basis for peace and adds:
 "As evidence of our own good will the army command is issuing here with an order to suspend aggressive action. to take effect as soon as may be. but not later than noon of Mon day"
 The effect of this proclamation is still doubtful. DeValera all along ha declared his willingness to abide by a decision based on the free will of the people, but he is still said to maintain that the British government must not interfere in Ireland If the people decide in favor of a republic.
 Chief of Staff Aitken, in his order for a cessation of. offensive opera tions, tells the republican troops to remain on the defensive and protect themselves and their munitions. This is taken as implying that there is to be no yielding on the part of the re- publfcans to the Free States govern ment's demand for the surrender of all arms.

STUDENT fEUD LEADS
 TO DEATH AT CHICAGO
Sophomore Freshman Struggle At
 Northwestern Brings Tragedy

CHICAGO, April 17.-Louis Au versity. is dead; Ralph Williams of Harlan. Ky, another freshman, may die. and four other persons were in- jured early Friday morning follow ing an automobile accident which came as a climax of an all-night search for sophomores who had Kidnapped" Dick Howard, champion swimmer of the freshman class, and had sped with him toward the Wis consin line.
 The feud between the two class men had been brewing for weeks Only week ago freshman students stole" the president of the sopho- more class, kept him out all night and gave him good "hazing." Since that time the sophs have sworn revenge.
 When freshmen learned Howard was organized. While returning from the all-nighp search. James Leahy, driving the students car, crashed into an auto being driven by Mrs. Arthur D. Winslow of Will mette.
 Aubere and Williams. who were riding on the running board of the car, were hurled headlong into the roadside. Aubere dying en route to the hospital with broken back, and Williams, suffering from fractured skull, is unconscious at hospital here with little hopes extended for saving his life.
 Leahy said the bright lights from another car approaching made him swerve from his path into the auto driven by Mrs. Windslow, who was cut by flying glass when the two cars collided.
 The incident is reminiscent of the disappearance in September, 1921, of Leighton Mount, freshman, at North western university. said to have been "ducked" in Lake Michigan by sophomores. No trace of Mount has ever been found

MORSE CASE T0 BE TRIED 0N MERITS |S COURT DECISION
Defense Concludes Opening Statement-Evidence To
 Begin Monday
Copyright, Harris & Ewing.

WASHINGTON, April 27.-The question of the eligibility of one of the jurors sitting in the Morse case in the District of Columbia supreme court was eliminated today and the trial of the issue on it's merits con tinued.
 Counsel for the defence concluded its opening statement and it has said introduction of evidence will be- gin Monday.
 Decision to go ahead with the case with the jury as originally consti- tuted was reached at conferences be- tween counsel and Justice Stafford, which began yesterday, after the question of qualifications of one of the jurors first was raised. There was no announcement of the result other than an order by Justice Staf- ford that the trial proceed.
 In concluding his statement to the jury, Attorney Redwood of New York of defense counsel, declared the government should not try to wreak vengeance. or present ideas that are beyond the pale of an honest administration of the criminal law.
 We shall undertake to show" he said, that this is one of the greatest tragedies of the persecution of an in- dividual ever presented to an Ameri- can jury. We will endeavor to show systematic and fraudulent efforts on the part of government officials to bring about the persecution of these gentlemen"
 Mir Redwood declared that the defense. in relating. the dealing be- tween Morse and his sons with the emergency fleet corporation, concern ing ship contracts, will show a systematic mass of obstruction and red tape; an absence of cooperation in forwarding the ship building pro- gram and an accumulated mass of progressive inefficiency in the de- partments of the fleet corporation. such as in my judgment never were disclosed before"

 TENEMENT HOUSE
Hundred Women and Children Are Saved-Score of Per-
 sons Are Injured

{. NEW YORK, April 27-Flames that suddenly enSeloped 3 five-story tenement in East Fifty ninth street early today killed 12 persons. six of them children, and led to injury of a score of other tenants.
 Two hours before daybreak liar ry Voegel. from his home across the street, saw flames burst suddenly from every floor of the building. He called Patrolman John Malone, and accompanied him through the liam es to the second floor of the burning tenement. They shouted. broke down doors and made their way to the first landing of the riclety fire escape Above, them women and children screamed.
 Malone tried to drop the ladder to the sidewalk. Rusted with age, it stuck A taxicab. driven by Mamie Friedman. former pugilist. pushed through the hysterical crowd until it was directly beneath the fire es- cape. A hundred women and children were passed down the fire escape to the top of the cab and saved. Six Children Perish
 Meanwhile, on the top floor, the family of David Mandelbaum. pain ter. was trapped. Mandelbaum's son, Hyman. crawled with his father to the fire escape and was saved Man delbaum tried to go back for his wife and six other children. ranging in ages from l to 16 years, but failed.
 Yesterday Mandelbaum had made the last payment on farm up state.
 In the apartment adjoining that of the Mandelbaums an entire family perished. Aaron Kuxis, his wife, their daughter. Bertha, 21 years old, and their son, David. IS, were found on the floor.
 Bertha was engaged to be mar ried. She would have been saved but she went back to get her we'd ding dress. When her body was found a bit of scorched lace was clutched in one hand.
 Mrs. Isaac Brownstein. who lived on the third floor, died of burns. Rodies Taken To Morgue.
 At daybreak the fire was under control The bodies of the dead lay on the sidewalk. Soon ambulances took them to the morgue, but the excitement of the residents had not abated.
 In Jewish synagogue next to the burned tenement rabbi appointed a committee to draft resolutions urg- ing a law compelling landlords to provide modern fire escapes and con- demning non-fire proof dwelling houses in thickly populated districts.
 The origin of the fire was not de- termined. Fire department officials attached no significance to the fact that fire only a block away. winch cost the lives of IT persons last Oc- tober had been llindled apparently by a promaniac.

TAKE STEPS TO LIFT RECEIVERSHIP
APPLAUSE SKATERS DIGNITY OF COURT AS SINGER IS FREED
Prisoner Discharged As Notes of "Mother Machree"
 Bring Tears To Judge

NEW ORLEANS. April Pit was lrl night court last night. He was arrested on Canal street because he was acting in manner which po- liceman regarded as suspicious and it was a sorry figure that stood be- fore Recorder Leonard. He was dirty, his clothing was shabby, his hair was uneombed and certain fla cial lines and contortions suggested the narcotic addict.
 Whats your soccupation?" Judge Leonard queried.
 I'm a singer" was the reply.
 The spectators who attended the night court for the sake of amuse- ment. Uttered. The judge look ed skeptical and 1t was plain he didn't believe the man.
 Let's hear you sing" the court demanded in sarcastic tone.
 And the prisoner sang. The first note was greeted with smiles but the smiles disappeared quickly and gave way to expressions of surprise and rapt attention,
 Sure, I love the dear silver that shines in your hair
 And the brow that's so furrowed and wrinkled with care"
 His ragged clothes and unkempt appearance were forgotten. Forgot ten, too. was the fact that the scene was in court of justice. It was only realized that magnificent tenor voice was lifted in d song that brought memories to everyone with in hearing, memories made dearer by the passing of years.
 'I kiss the dear fingers that toiled over me,
 "Oh, God keep you and bless you,
 Mother Machree.'
 The song ended. For moment there was absolute silence, then a roar of applause shattered the dig nifty of the place-and there was no attempt to stop 1t.
 On the bench Judge Leonard has tily brushed a handkerchief across his eyes.
 You're discharged" he said.
