It Is not expected that lie Valera lind his followers will approve th? ?j?w ConstltutIon, or even sit In tb? lf>rovisional Parliament, whose mem bers must declare acceptance of the Anglo-Irish treaty Dominion Hindu for Ireland. Th? Constitution accepts dominion status f'?r Ireland, provides an oath lof allegiance identical with that in Ithe treaty, accepts the principle of 'Trial ftrit?Mol t rs u-;? i-u ? council, an>l Agrees to permit the King to veto legislation, through the Governor-General. No mention Is made of Ireland's control of her own foreign affairs, a point which the British representatives rejected dur ing tho recent conferences. As In the case of the other dominions. Ire land Is not compelled to participate actively in any war unless actually Invaded. Tho Constitution provides that1 Irish shall he the national language, but KMulish will be "equally recog- i nlzed as official." Religious freedom is guaranteed. ljvgislalive machinery Is provided for and Is to consist of. Ilrst, tho I King; second, ii Chamber of Depu- j ties; third, u Senate.

"The Senate Is to be composed of | citizens." the text reads, "who have \ done honor to tbe nation by reason of useful public service or who. be- j cause of special <|iialitlratIons or at- I talnments. represent Important as- I pects of the national life." Senators are to be elected by pop ular vote afler the Senate and the Chamber have selected a list of can didates, three times the number to be elected The Governor-General, acting for I the King, may veto legislation. He also appoints the executive coun cilors, a nominal function, since the councilors will constitute the Irish Cabinet. Tho Irish Parliament can raise and maintain an army In accordance with tho treaty. The Initiative and referendum are provided as popular safeguards on legislation. i Tho Constitution builds the gov- I frnmcnt nround tho twelve council- j ors of tho Governor-General, who are, In fact, to be the.

The celebrated case of rortner vs. Portner, appealed from lha Circuit Court of Prince William County. was dismissed from the dorket of the Su preme Court of Appeals at Wytho vllle yesterday by Judge Joseph J> Kelly, presldont. The case grew out of the contest over the will of the 1 late Paul V. Portner, a son of Rob ert Portner, the former brewer, of Alexandria. The petition made up 7 40 panes, while the record of the trial case was more voluminous. The petition alleged that Paul V. Portner had been drink Inn for several da>s before making his "'111, in which he disposed of property valued at about 1250,000, which he bequeathed to sis sister, Mrs. P. W. Meredith, and her daughter, and J.tO'l a year to an old colored employe. The decision of the lower court, pre sided over by Judge Frank Brent, upheld the validity of the will, which other relatives contested. Another opinion handed down yes terday sustained the decree of Judee Frank Brent in which he held that it would be unfair and unjust to take part of Arlington County, oc cupied by the town of Clarendon, and make it a separate and distinct government, to the exclusion of an equally thickly settled community.
