 BETTER FEELING
That Is Between North and
 South of Ireland

Dublin, Sept, S R-Ths belief pre- Vails here that, before the report of the Irish boundary commission Is promulgated, a further attempt will be made by the British cabinet to bring teegther the northern and southern government with a view to an amicable arrangement
 In the past an agreement has been impossible because of the widely dif- fering estimates of the extent of the commissions powers, Thus there has been no basis for effective ex- changes of views, but as soon as the commissions decision is known the situation will be altered,
 It Is thought unlikely that the commissions report can wholly sat isfy either side. At present the Free State Is pledged to accept the de- cision, while the northern govern ment at Belfast refuses 10 be bound by 1t in any way.
 William T. Cosgrove, head of the Free States executive council, would not, 1t Is understood, refuse to dis cuss definite findings by the commits sion with the northern government. It Is not known whether Sir James Craig, the Ulster premier, would consent to such meeting.
 Belief is expressed in some quar- ters that Ulster will submit legal arguments against the commission E findings, relying on the support of the British house of lords in con- tending that such findings are chal- lengeabie and not final.
 The act of parliament overcoming Listers obstruction 10 the commits sion's idea was passed under the Ia - Dor government Of Ramsay Mac Donald, A conservative government now is in office In London. and the British attorney general of today Sir Douglas Hogg, was then counsel for Ulster in the argument before the privy council.
 The Free State ministers express their confidence in a square deal from the British cabinet, which is keenly interested in a friendly set l clement.

POLICE BOARD MAY
 < IGNORE COUNCIL
Commissioners to Handle As, Signulent Of New Patrolman

An additional regular patrolman ia expected to be appointed by the board of police commissioners at It's monthly meeting Tuesday night in spite of the failure Of the city coun. Nl to rescind its original resolution providing for the appointment Of q patrolman to do duty in the ffth ward only. It is understood that tho members of the commission hold the opinion that as long as the ordinance regulating the organization of the police department has been changed to provide for the additional man, and the money appropriated to pay him. the councils interest in the matter Is ended, and it Is up to the board to appoint him and the chief of police to assign him to duty where his servlres are needed.
 The board failed to act last month on the resolution of the council au- thorizing the board to appoint n man for duty In the fifth ward, and sent request to the council that the resolution be rescnded. the ordi- nance regulating the organization ot the department changed, and the money appropriated, The request of the board was granted by the eoun- cil, but 1t developed that a resolu- tien cannot be rescinded in this manner. so the original resolution stands as passed. The police com missioners are expected to ignore the resolution when the matter of an appointment is taken up at ythe meeting
 Arrangements for the purchase of two small automobiles for use of the department will be made at the meeting as the money was transfer red for this purpose at the last meeting of the council. The ma chimes will be used by the night ser geants in their work and by the de- tective bureau during the day.
 Hearing For Skierkowski
 Before the meeting of the full board Is called, the discipline com mittee will hold q session at which Pstrolman Peter Skierkowski will be called upon to rehearse evidence he gave in police court last week against two men he arrested for assaulting each other. The patrolman is all leged to have testified that he saw the fight when in reality he was at the police station while it was in progress. It is understood that Ski erkowski now claims that he saw the fight when he was on his way to the police station, but did not make the arrests until after one of the parti- cipants made complaint at the sta ton.
 At the meeting of the commits sloners, applications for appointment as supernumerary policemen are ex- pected to be received from James J. Butler and Cyril Curtin.

day. The THEFT was discovered a.
bout ten minutes after it occurred
and the authorities at once mott
fed. Marshal French telephoned
a description of the machine to
nearby towns and the car and it's
driver were picked up in Adams.
The stolen car was the property
of Rufus Douglas, who resides at
Springville, about eight miles
north of KiIbourn, and a peculiar
incident in connection with the
theft was the fact that Mrs. Doug
las saw the machine drive pass
their house on the way to Adams
and thought she recognized it but
uCCIuSu SIG was ulIGo I0hCh.
Rauques was taken before Just
ice L. H. Fogel Of Kilbourn and
waived examination. He was bound
over for trial before the county
court and was taken to Portage.
The young man accused Of steal
ing the car stated that he had been
steward on a snip plying between
San Francisco and New FORK and
he had made some 1G trips thu Rough
the Panama canal. He was on his
way to s.. Paul where he expected
to get similar work.
Rauques, as his name would in
dictate, is French. His mother and
father are both dead, his father dy-
ing in France three days before
the close of the war. The young
man is of unusually robust physi-
que weighing some 200 pounds, and
he stated that he played with the
Stanford university football team
when they played Notre Dame at
California few months ago. He
spent six months at the California
university and also attended the
University of Washington.
He says that this is the first
time that he has been in trouble
and two or three kind hearted peo-
pie who have become interested IN
his case are making an effort to
get into touch with the California
coaches and others to see if funds
cannot be furnished him. When ar
rested he had but &c cents in his
possession.
