Wire of Irish Leader
to British Premier —
Talk of London Con
ference in October
UinH"n. Sept. 1ft— (By the Asso
ciated Press)—In a telegram sent
[his evening to Premier Lloyd
rjjorgp at Oairloch. Scotland,
Eamon de Valera is considered in
|. ,gh quarters in London 'to have in
dicated a desire for a continuation
of the negotiations looking to peace
n Ireland which were terminated,
momentarily, at least, by Mr. de
Valera's communication of earlier in
tie week, insisting on the independ
ence of Ireland and Mr. Lloyd
George's cancellation of the confer
ence with delegates of the Sinn Fein
which he had proponed for next
Tuesday. The telegram of Mr. de
Valera follows:
"I received yonr telegram last
night and am surprised that you do
not see that if we, an our side ac
cepted a conference.**® the 'basis of
your letter of September 7 without
making onr position quite clear Ire
lands representatives would enter
the conference with their position
misunderstood a*d the cause of Ire
land's right irreparably prejudiced.
Throughout the correspondence that,
has taken place you have defined
your government's position. We have
defined ours.”
'If the positions were not so defi
nitely opposed there would indeed
be no problem to be discussed. It
should be obvious that in a case like
ours if there is to be any result the
negotiators must meet without
prejudice and untrammelled by any
conditions whatever except those im
posed by the acts as they know
them ”
i'p to a late hour tonight Mr.
Lloyd George had made no response^
but the consensus of opinion was
that since neither side to the argu
ment seemingly is desirous of a rup
ture in the negotiations there doubt
less will be a further exchange of
messnges.

VICTIMS OF DIRIGIBLE 1
DISASTER ARRIVE ON
CRUISER DAUNTLESS
New York. Sept. 1C.—Resting in
flag-shrouded caskets, covered will:
masses of ‘flowers ami guarded by i
armed men of a friendly foreign na
tion. the bodies of Commander I.ouis 1
H. Maxfield and 11 of his comrades— j
victims of the ZR-2 disaster—arrived :
home today on the British cruiser 1
Dauntless.
It was a far different home-coming
from that which the victims had an- ]
ticipated when they sailed several
months ago for England to prepare
and bring back the monster dirigible, :
the disaster to which on a trial flight
sent the 42 heroic men of two nations
to their untimely death.
Far out at sea the Dauntless was
met by a destroyer division of the •
Foiled States navy. At is neared 1
port the escort was increased by a
f! of seaplanes, representing the
:*f ; * f the service for which the vie- !
tints gave their lives. As the funeral 1
p eatvte up the harbor, the* forts :
thumb-red a salute, church bells tolled
o t>, Brooklyn and Staten Island
and shipping craft dipped their ,
colors in salute.
The Dauntless proceeded directly to
th navy yard in Brooklyn where Brit
ish sailors tenderly carried the bodies j
from the deck of the craft and de
livri -d them to ihc keeping of their
f rmer comrades-in-arms on the pier.
Tonight the flag-draped caskets were
und»r the watchful eyes of a guard of
honor in the yard chapel, where to- i
morrow they will be rendered the hon- l
or that the navy pays to its heroic
dead.
As the Dauntless passed Quaran
tine. a navy tug carrying Captain C.
11. Tozier. representing ihe secretary
of the navy. Commander C. P. Rob
inson representing the commandant
of the Xavy yard, went alongside and
th's American officers climbed aboard.
When the Dauntless was made fast,
her commander, Captain Gilbert
Fl^phenson. and his staff, together
with th» American officers on board,
took their places near the ship end of
the gangway. A whistle sounded and j
the British marine guards snapped
into "Present Arms.” Every member
of the crew, from Captain Stephen
son down, simultaneously came to
salute.
Eight husky British bluejackets
then lifted the casket containing the
body of Commander Maxfield to their
shoulders and Closely followed by a
bare headed British officer it was
slowly carried down the gangway. As
the body left the ship the mauine
guard on the pier presented nrmsJind
the heads of hundreds of spectAors
were uncovered.
Each casket, as it was earried’down
the gangplank, was covered with a
wreath of violets and other flowers,
the gift of British officers and organ
izations and friends of the deceased.
The flowers w’ere preserved in cold
storage during the voyage and
brought out today for the first time.
Public memorial services will be
held at the navy yard at 2 o'clock to
morrow afternoon.

Augusta has not been hit by the
reported industrial depression that
seems to be prevailing in many of
the other cities.
Augusta has. of course to a cer
tain extent, felt the slackening up of
business, but bile the jobless are
marching the streets in some of the
big centers, there is no industrial
problem in Maine's Capital and busi
ness. in the opinion of practically
every man on Water street is
"good."
A thorough canvass of the situa
tion has just been made by the Ken
nebec Journal and the result is even
more gratifying than some of the
reports would make one think.
At the mills of the Edwards Man
ufacturing Co., the situation this
year is so much better than it was
in ISHiO that there is hardly any ba
sis of comparison.
"A year ago this time, we were
practically shut down.” said Milton
O. Dean, agent of the mill, in dis
cussing the subject. "From the first
of August last year to the middle of
January this year, there were not
enough actual orders to keep the
plant busy a week. At the present
time, we have orders that will keep
the mill on full time with a three
quarters crew for at least five weeks
more."
The Edwards mill is not so large
as some* of the other cotton mills of
tne State. It manufactures certain
kinds of standardized cloth and on
ly slight changes are made in its

Bled by Ring in
Control N. Y. Piers
Xevv York. Sept. 1C—Shipping in
terests in New York are forced to
pay big prices tor wharfage privi
leges. "Under a secret, uncontrolled
system of extortion" it was charged
today by Klon B. Brown, counsel for
the Meyer legislative committee in
vestigating Mayor Hylan's adminis
tration.
The charge was made by Mr.
Brown alter a sharp verbal tilt with
Bock Commissioner Murray Hulburt
and after testimony had been offered
that the city had received return of
S1.4S4.717 annually from 24 of its
piers, while the lessee by sub-let
ting them had received an estimated
return of $5,685,000.
Commissioner Hulburt. who was
not sworn as a witness, but who was
allowed to answer charges as they
were made, declared that the situa
tion was due to the fact that the
docks under consideration had been
leased for long terms by administra
tions prior to his own.
Edward C. O'Brien, former dock
commissioner, voluntarily tool: tne
witness stand and charged that the
wharfage of the city was in the
hands of "special interests owing to
the bad system, and bad, I should
say defective, administration of the
department of docks.’’
Mr. Brown said his investigation
showed that the piers “were a drag
on the city treasury, when they
ought to furnish it with funds."
The hearing will be continued
Monday.

AIR SERVICE CHIEF
! TIRES OF WORK, SEEKS
! LINE OFFICER’S BERTH
Washington, Sept. 16—After near
ly three years of service, Major Gen
eral Charles T. Menoher has re
quested td be relieved as chief of
the air service.
This became known today, Secre
tary Weeks in response to inquiries,
announcing that General Menoher
had asked formally to be released
as air service head and to be trans
ferred to command of troops in the
held. The secretary added that no
action had been taken as yet on the
request but it was indicated that the
general's desires would be gratified.
General Menoher declined to dis
cuss his request for release in any
way, but Secretary Weeks and air
service officers declared it was based |
on a desire to return to the work of j
a line officer. It was emphasized j
that friction between General Meno- .
her and Brigadier General William j
Mitchell, assistant chief of the air j
service, which became openly mani
fest several months ago, had no con
nection with the request.
As the first military head of the
air service, a branch of the war de
partment which grew out of the
World War, General Menoher insti
tuted a number of changes, some of
which led to differences between
him and General Mitchell. The lat
ter's advocacy of a unified air ser
vice, taking in both the army and
navy, and statements before a con
gressional committee that modern j
aircraft had doomed the capital ship;
together with other assertions and |
activities led to General Menoher
making a formal request last June
for the relief of General Mitchell,
Secretary Weeks mediated in the
controversy with the result that 1
General Menoher withdrew his re-'
quest.
Reports of differences between the
two officers however, persisted, and
became accentuated after the July
bombing tests off the Virginia capes
which were held to determine wheth
er aircraft had destroyed the value
of the capital ship. General Mitchell
maintained the tests had proved his
contention and recently submitted a
repotr on the subject. This report
i now is in the hands of Secretary
Weks but whether it was disap
proved or indorsed by General Meno
her has not been disclosed.
General Menoher was appointed
* chief of the air ’service in Decem
ber, 1918, then being in command of
the Sixth Army Corps in France and ■
previous to that having commanded
the 1:2nd or nRinbow Division. On
assuming office in succession to John
D. Ryan* he merged the wartime
bureau of aircraft production with
the office of director of military
aeronautics.

Recess Appointments
of Harding Legal,
Daugherty’s Opinion
Washington, Sept. ]6 — President
j Harding's power to make recess ap
; pointments during the present ad
j journmcnt of Congress has been af
firmed by Attorney General Daughrr
[ tV in a formal opinion made public
tonight by the department of jus
tice. In his opinion Mr. Daugherty
dissents from a ruling of former At
torno: General Knox handed down in
1901 and holds that where the Sen
! ate has adjourned for a specified
date the president must determine in
his discretion "whether in a practi
; cal sense” that body is in session so
j that its consent can be given to ap
ppointments requiring confirmation,
j "If the president's power of ap
' pointment is to be defeated because
the Senate takes an adjournment to
a specified date,” Mr. Daugherty
says, “the painful and inevitable re
' suit will be measurably to prevent
the exercise of governmental func
i tions. I can not bring myself to be
jlieve the framers of the constitution
i ever intended such a catastrophe to
' happen.”
Mr. Daugherty adds, however, that
he does not think the power would
exist in the case of an adjournment
of five or even ten days instead of 28
as such a period would not eorsti
: tute the recess intended by the con
stitution in vesting the president
with the power to make recess ap
pointments, although a line of de
marcation cannot be accurately
drawn.

San Francisco. Sept. 16—With the
formal announcement today that
Uoscoe C. (Fatty) Arbuckle. motion
picture comedian, would be prose
cuted on a charge of murder in con
nection with the death of Miss Vir
ginia Kappe, actress, following a 1A
bor Day party in the actor’s hotel
rooms here, both the prosecution
and defense squared away tonight to !
arrange for the trial, the first chap
ter of which will be written next
Thursday when the prisoner will en
ter a plea.
When District Attorney Matthew
Rrady in the Court of Police Judge
Silvain l.azarus today announced
that “the people are ready to pro
ceed on the murder charge.” he
blasted hope of the defense that Ar
buckle would tonight be at liberty
on $5,000 cash bail set by the court j
when a gran3 jury indictment !
charging the defendant with man
slaughter was returned. It was in
dicated today that the prosecution's
decision to go to trial on the mur
der charge was a surprise to the de
fense.
From I.os Angeles came reports j
that Arbuckle had already made j
train reservations for a trip from j
San Francisco to that city this eve- |
ning. Murder is not a bailable
charge in California.
District Attorney Riady has the
support of the Board of County Sup
ervisors in his prosecution of Ar
buckle it was shown today when the
finance committee of that body ap
propriated *1,000 for immediate ex
penses of the trial and promised
more when needed. Rrady had
asked I he board for additional funds
declaring much wealth would be ex
pended by the defense.
Mrs. Ratnbina Maude Peimont.
who swore to the murder dhargo on
which Arbuckle today appeared in
court, viewed Miss Rappe's body to
day and is reported to have suffered
a partial collapse. The body accord
ing to present plans, will be shipped
to I.os Angeles tonight.
In addition to his other troubles
Arbuckle may suffer the loss of his
custom-made automobi'e. said to
have cost $25,000. Government of
ficials say if it is show'n that liquor
was transported from Los Angeles j

California Grape
Profits Trebled
by Prohibition
San Francisco. Sept. 16—The'
grape growing industry of Califor
nia is prosperous, largely because of
prohibition, declared Edward Shee
han. president of the California
Crape Growers' Exchange, in an ad
dress here yesterday before the Cali- '
fornia Development Association. He
declared the profits of the grower*
have trebled with prohibition and
said where three years ago the aver
age prices for grape* was *10 to *20
per ton it is now around *75 and
?100 per ton.
Mr. Sheehan estimated the Cali
