DALI To RECALL
COSCRAVE

DUBLIN, March 20 0N.S0.
The prevailing opinion in politi-
cal circles today was that Will
liam T. Cosgrave, president of
the executive council of the Irish
Free State, who resigned yester-
day with his cabinet, would be
reelected to his post when the
Dial Eireann reassembles next
Wednesday.
Cosgrave resigned rather than
accept an opposition amendment
to the pensions bill, which called
for additional funds for old age
doles. The president argued that
1t would be too great a drain on
the taxpayers, but he was voted
down by a margin of two votes.
Under the novel ministerial sys-
tenn Of the Free State, the reSigna-
ton Of the government does not
necessarily call for general cleo
tions. and as President Cosgrave's
voting strength in the Dali has
not been impaired, there viii be
no necessity Of going to the polls.
The Fianna Fail, chief opposi-
ton party. with 81 members in the
Dial. has sent a call to America
for Eamonn de Valera, their
leader, on a lecture tour there.

FIRE ME- n WIN
HIGH PRAISE

The short record "4:21 p. M,
1917 H st. N. w., ventilator shaft
fire" on the record book at
fire department headquarters. dis
guises a tale of firemen's efficiency
which enabled The Washington
Times to publish it's later editions
yesterday.
Shortly after 4 o'clock yester-
day, pressmen preparing to put
out the Sunset Edition of The
Times were startled by a glare
which came from the shafts over
their heads. A hurried call was
sent to the fire department.
Metal a Menace
Despite the fact that there
were several engines around the
building, firemen could 1nly use
one small line of hose due to the
fact that in one corner Of the
preSSrooln floor stood an immense
pot of molten metal which is
used in making the plates for the
press. If water had reached this
two-yard long furnace there would
have been an explosion which
might have wrecked the building.
Through the efforts of the fire
men the blaze was confined to
the shaft.

charges placed by police.

This was illegal entry on a
private residence. No other con-
clusion can be drawn from the
statement Of facts submitted by
the Officers" said Hart.
According to Attorney Miller,
the HarmonS will seek warrants
for each member of the vice
squad, and will later allege false
arrest and will sue for $4,000 in
each case. The couple, with the
attorney. plan to call on District
Attorney Leo A. Rover and peti
ton him for the warrants.

Finishing the floor Is the only

flooring can be used for this
purpose, but many home owners
