The message j ntimated that the Sinn Fein would j, lot seize upon Britain's reception . ,f its delegates as representatives f a free state as a tacit recognition f Irish independence.

(By United Press.) Secretary of the Treasury Mellon has definitely decided to resign his post, according to authoritative information from sources close to the administration. Mr. Mellon will shortly ask j President Harding to relieve him. it is stated, giving personal rea- , sons as the basis for this action, j Reports that the Pittsburgh j banker would get out of the Cabinet have been current in Washington for some time. They have never been officially denied, though j the White House has stated no j Cabinet changes were contem- i plated. Hnrding ReKret* Decision. The President, it is believed, will ' try to prevent Mr. Mellon's quit- J ting Just now. There is no fric- i tion between them, but the Pre?i- | dent understands that a break in i the Cabinet circle is always sub- j ject to misinterpretation by par- j tisan critics. It is felt that the j 'present would be particularly un- j fortunate timev, for Mr. Mellon to j step aside. This is because Re- j publican leaders in Congress hav?rebuffed him by rejecting practically all his taxation proposals, and by postponing action on hisj request for authority to refund the foreign loans. His resignation*aow would be construed as an act of pique because of his failure to Impress his Ideas of policy upon Congress, it is f$lt. Mr. Mellon, however, is not likely to be moved by* purely political considerations, his friends say. He accepted the position with some reluctance, and stated then that he wished to be free to *ret out at any timo if the task proved too great a strain upon IjJm. He is not robust, and has worked very hard for a great number of years. , Week* Llkjly Suecesnor. Tn view of proposed reorganisation in government departments 4t is probable that Mr. Mellon will be urged to remain until the reorganization takes effect. Under the plan being worked out by the Congressional reorganization commission. Secretary of War Weeks probably would be available for the Treasury post, as consolidation of the war and navy activities under one head is contemplated. Mr. Weeks was originally mentiond for the Treasury and his preference is believed to lie there. If a change is to be made before the reorganization, the time to make 4t is just before the new tax law goes into effect, some officials believe. For that reason, they expect Mr. Mellon to be replaced no later than the first of January. HALF-MILLION FIRE AT PORTSMOUTH PORTSMOUTH. Va., Sept. 17. ?
