HUNDREDS HUNT
 IRISH BANDITS
British Gunboat Arrives To Remove Body Of
 Slain Trooper

QUEENSTOWN. March 23.-(By Associated Press. )-Spurred by the gov ernment's offer of a reward of f10,000, hundreds of civilians today joined the Free State troops and police in the search for the persons who shot down British soldiers and Irish civilians as they were>Ieturning from Spike Island on Friday.
 Thus far no arrests have been made.
 The British torpedo boat destroyer Sea Wolf arrived this morning with the purpose, it is believed, of removing the body of Private Aspinwall, one of the victims of the shooting, to England. Free State troops are patrolling the district and no one is permitted to land at Spike Island.
 General indignation over the shooting is being voiced throughout Ireland. Some concern is felt regarding the safe ty of the small British garrison at Le- nan, Lough Swilly, county Donegal, whose position is even more precarious than that on Spike Island.

 CHICAGO, March 23.-So far as personal beauty is concerned, any fair ly handsome dark horse is apt to throw the present aspirants for the American presidency completely out of the run. ming some spring morning.
 This is the frank but unflattering conclusion of Mile. Mistinguet, French actress of the peerless legs, worth S1, 100000, more or less. but insured for that amount nevertheless, after a critical inspection of the physiognamies of the candidates.
 of course, an oily complexion sim. ply cannot be tolerated in presiden- tial possibility this season. decreed Mistinguet, in her delightful GalliC brogue.
 Your candidates are not dashing p
 NOne-N0t One-Is Dashing!
 That's what troubles Mistinguet most, she declared Sunday. America $ political contenders, she finds, are dig nified, grave, solemn, preoccupied with serious affairs. conscious of the bur. dens they carry; some are pompous, some are groucky; some are aloof; some are fierce, but none smile well, and none, not one, absolutely is dashing. None of '.e grand elan!
 Take, for example, your Monsieur Coolidge" she illustrated. "He is so far away, always. Even in leap year he does not laugh. Always seems NJ. Coolidge like Puritan father among the Indians. An. perhaps, with van dyke beard, it might be-but l don't know"
 As one nation to another, chatting about their famous vegetables" as Mistinguet prettily calls them, she in sists France and even England have slightly the edge, that is to say, the ad- vantage, over the land of the so-hand- some doughboys, in the matter of pull chritude among the pre-eminent.

PLANS FINISHED
 FOR BOND MEET
All Sides To Be Given Chance To Air Views In
 School Controversy

In order that all sides may be given an opportunity to air their views in re- gard to the proposed school bond issue controversy now raging, members of the Jefferson county League of Women Vot- CTS will be sponsors for a meeting which has been arranged to be held at the Chamber of Commerce auditor ium Monday night. All plans for the meeting have been completed, it was announced by Mrs. Brenton Fisk, Sun day.
 All civic organizations of the city are requested to send representatives to the meeting, and members of the organizations are urged to be present. However, no official vote will be giv- en the organizations as the prime pur- pose of the meeting is to obtain an ex- pression of individual views, Mrs. Fisk explained.
 Special stress. waSa laid on the fact that both men and women are desired at the meeting, and, while it is being held under the arrangement of the Wom. ems League, yet attendance is open to everybody in Birmingham, and to all organizations.
 Three principal speakers have been arranged for, Oscar Wells leading off with a discussion of the part the re. cent financial committee had in the bond issue campaign. A bond issue for the schools will be discoursed on by W H. WOlverton, authority on local school conditions, while J. H. Donnelly will tell of library conditions in Bir mingham. Each of the feature speakers will be limited to 15 minutes, while the floor will be thrown open after wards with limit of few minutes for the expression of individual views by individuals.

EXPERTS WORK :. IS INTERRUPTED
 BY MORATORIUM
British Members Of Ex-
 perts Committee Depart 7 For London

PARIS, March 23.-tBy the ,Asso- ciated Press. )-The departure for Lon- don yesterday of Reginald McKenna, Sir Robert Kendersly and Sir J. c. Stamp, British members of the ex- perts committee, has given rise to re- ports that fundamental differences have cropped out in the work of the ex- perts and that the British representa- tiyes have gone to consult their gov ernment.
 It was stated officially rnis evening that no serious disagreement existed on the main decisions, and that, while different opinions have been expressed in the. course of the discussions, the opinion being drafted will be unani- mously signed by both committees.
 The ,pessimistic and alarming tone adopted by the British and also a part of the French press recently, how ever, may cause the reparation com mission to issue an official communique tomorrow, setting forth exactly where matters stand, although reparation cir cles refuse to make a specific an- nouncement to that effect.
 Departure Causes Stir.
 Sir John Bradbury, British member of the reparation commission, left for London this morning, and his departure caused stir in French circles. He is held by the French to represent Il tendency towards separations settle ment diametrically opposed to that of the French. It is felt here that his presence in London simultaneously with three British experts, that the British experts are tt in agreement with the findings of the majority in the schedule of payments for Germany the next two years. The question of a moratorium is reported to be. the point upon which opinions divert.
 Officially, however, the correspon- dents are informed that "the work of the experts is proceeding in com plete accord on fundamental points" and that the joint report of the Dawes and McKenna committees will be ready the first week in April.

 "No man likes to offend deliberately against good taste," Mir. vanderlip said. "No man who Las enjoyed the esteem of his fellow citizens as have in the past, likes to place himself de- liberately under cloud. I feel, how ever, that what may happen to me per sonally in the present situation is of small moment. My one concern is that corruption in the government shall be rooted out"
 Mir. Harding objected to Mir. Van derlip's speech in which he told of rumors that President Harding had sold the Marion Star for more than it was worth, and Mr. Vanderlip has resigned from the Can company board.
