measure without the 12 hoars of gen
eral debate allotted members anxious
to speak for and against its passage.
But despite this big majority and the
promise by Chairman Volstead of the
judiciary committee that all of the
time set aside might not be used, inr
dications tonight were that a vote on
the bill itself will not be reached this
week. Every effort was made today
by anti-prohibitionists to delay con
sideration by claims of no quorum, de
mands for roll calls and by forcing the
reading, word by word, of the printed
text of the bill.
Less than two of the 12 hours for
debate had been used when the house
adjourned, to resume consideration
Thursday, tomorrow being calendar
day.
Xo attempt was made today to split
the bill so as to take out the first
part relating solely to enforcement of
war time prohibition with a view to its
early passage. This, however, will be
done later, and while members fight
ing for modification or repeal of the
war time act are hopelessly in the
minority, they announced their de
termination to keep on fighting until
the whole question of enforcement leg
islation was settled in the house.

Republican A. P. Leased Wire
NEW YORK, July 8 "Only a si- tta-v
Fantic military machine, equipped witti LiqUOl' Adherents Utilize
machine-guns and armored cars." and
"imprisonment of their trusted leaders"
can prevent the "lull operation of a j
republican government of Ireland," Ed
ward F. Dunne, former governor ot
Illinois and one of three American
delegates sent abroad by the Irish
ocieties of America to intercede in
behalf of Ireland at the peace confer
ence, declared upon his arrival here
today on tiie steamer La Savoie. With
Mr. Dunne came Frank P. Walsh, an
other of the delegates, who also issued
a statement predicting early success of
(he "Irish republic" cause.
The two delegates who were pre
ceded to the United States by several
weeks by Michael 1-. Ryan, the third
member of the mission, were given an
em husiastic reception by a crowd of
several hundred persons. The recep
tion was attended by the waving of
Amtric-aa and "Irish republic" flags
ai d cheering for the delegates and for
Ireland. The delegates drove imme
diately to the hotel where Eammon de
Valera. "the president of the Irish re
public" is stopping and were received
by him. 1-iter they were made de
A alcra's guests at luncheon.
Satisfied With Achievements
"We are satisfied that our mission
accomplished most, if not all, that y:e
bet out to achieve," Mr. Dunne sa'C.
"The case of Ireland before the
vorld's peace conference was being tle
libetately ignored prior to our -j -rival
in Paris, and was being tr attcl l-y
England with her usu il unconcern and
contempt,
"Upon our insistence however that
il must be considered, the America-i
commission made representations tc
the British prime minister urging t'iat
it should receive prompt consideration.
The British prime minister thereupon
expressed a desire to meet us in con
ference, and pending the fixing of a
date for this conference, gave us dip'o
matic passports to visit Ireland, ex
pressing a desire that we should visit
nil portions of that country, including
Belfast.
Present Full Conditions
"We went to Ireland and thus were
able to give to President Wilson, the
.American commission and to the world,
a true, unvarnished story of English
atrocities and military misrule In Ire
land. We compelled the castle authori
ties In Dublin and finally the whole
English and Irish press to take up and
discuss the scandalous military occu
pation and oppression.
"We compelled them to admit that
the right of trial by jury, the right of
habeas corpus, and all the other safe
guards usually thrown around a people
in civilized countries had been over
thrown in Ireland and that British
domination was sustained only by the
presence of an enormous army of oc
cupation equipped with all the murder
ous weapons of actual modern warfare.
"We have plainly shown to the
American commissioners that Ireland
Is not in the position of seeking favors
from England, but is in the position of
demanding from the world's conference
recognition as a de facto and de jure
government and as having the right to
become a member of the league of
nations.
Confident of Outcome
"We are confident of the outcome.
Eighty per cent of the people of Ireland
demand a republic and are endeavoring
lo establish a republic and its people
will not be content with anything but
a republic."
Mr. Walsh asserted that despite Mr.
Lloyd George's declarations that "Eng
land does not seek a yard of territory,
since the war England has not only
suppressed the movement for a free
Ireland but has seized vast territory
in Egypt, German East Africa, German
Southwest Africa, German Samoan
Islands, Naura, the Bismarck Arehi
pelego, In the islands of the Solomon
group, and the German portion of New
Guinea. 'The strategic advantage won by
England through the seizure of this
territory is the rape of Egypt, and the
transfer to England of Turkey's power
In relation to the Suez canal, gives her
practical control over every drop of
salt water In the world and makes not
only the Mediterranean but all the seas
mere British lakes.
England Dominates League
"England, likewise Is dominant in the
control of the league of nations. Sir
Eric Drummond being given the secre
tariat, he is now perfecting his or
ganization in the shadow of Westmin
ster Hall in London.
"This secretariat control is second
only In value to its acquisitions of ter
ritorial riches. European statesmen
agreed that the secretary of the league
of nations will be a more powerful
factor in holding England's imperal
lstic gains and furthering her aggres
sions than would be the control of a
clear majority of the representatives
of that body in which England already
has five to America's one."

MIXEOLA. X. T.. July 8. Major G.
H. Scott, commander of the giant Brit
ish dirigible R-34. tonight informed the
crew that the start of the return voy
age to Great Britain, scheduled for
dawn tomorrow, would be delayed at
least eighteen and possibly twenty
four hours.
This action was taken after receipt
from the weather bureau at Washing
ton of reports showing that whereas
head winds over a considerable part of
the course would be encountered to
morrow, a favorable southwest current
probably would set in along the At
lantic coast north of Xew York Thurs
day or Friday.
The dirigible again narrowly es
caped serious injury this evening when
a sudden gust caught her tail , swing
ing it abound in a semi-circle within
thirty seconds, and dragging several
score of soldiers with it. The rear gon
dola scraped along the ground, but the
men succeeded in keeping it high
enough to prevent it being damaged.

WASHIXGTOX. July 8. The French
government having offered only $300,
000,000 for American army equipment
in France costing $1,500,000,000, the
war department has ordered a sales
organization for disposal of the prop
erty, formed in I' ranee, Director of
Sales Hare told a special house com
mittee investigating war department
expenditures abroad.
Director Hare said the 1-rench otfet
was made to Chairman Parker of the
I'nited States liquidation commission.
The offer, he said, included all ma
terials, including ship docks, railroad
works and equipment, automobile
trucks and textiles.
Mr. Hare with a small party of in
dustrial experts, will sail for Europe
Saturday to begin their work abroad.
"If France will not pay a fair figure"
the director added, "we will take the
stuff out of the country and sell it
elsewhere."
Sales of machinery and tools, worth
twenty to thirty million dollars, to Bel
gium are planned, Mr. Hare said, while
horses and mules may be sold to Ru
mania and Poland.
Members of the sub-committee, in
their discussion with Mr. Hare, made it
plain that they favored returning all
possible supplies to this country "to
break the high prices" as Chairman
Johnson of South Dakota said. In
reply, Mr. Hare assured them that "if
the better market is here, not in price
alone, the goods will be returned home
as the patriotic thing."
Referring to the meat packers and
vegetable canners, he said:
"We have told them we don't Intend
to save them, but to play the game
for the best of all."

WASHIXGTOX, July 8. The senate
made ready today to receive the peace
treaty from President Wilson and to
take up without delay and in the open
the bitterly contested question of its
ratification.
In disregard of precedent, it was
voted unanimously to open the doors
to the public when the president
makes his address Thursday submit
ting the treaty and asking for its ac
ceptance. To the same purpose plans
were made by the leaders to rush the
document to the printer and to cir
culate many thousands of copies for
the information of the country-
The decision to hear the president in
open session was reached without sug
gestion from him. although it was un
derstood to square with his desires. A
senate order to provide for the ses
sion was submitted by Chairman
Lodge of the foreign relations commit
tee, after he had confirmed at the
White House published reports that
Mr. Wilson wished to appear Thurs
day. It was adopted without discus
sion and without a dissenting vote.
The order also provided that five
I senators be named to receive the pres-
ident on his arrival at the capitol and
to conduct him to the senate chamber.
The chair selected five ranking mem
bers of the foreign relations commit
tee Senators Lodge, Massachusetts:
McCumber, Xorth Dakota, and Borah,
Idaho, republicans; and Hitchcock,
Xebraska, and Williams, Mississippi,
democrats.
Of these. Senators Lodge and Borah
are bitterly opposed to the league ot
nations covenant while the other three
are supporting it. Senator Borah has
repeatedly criticized President Wil
son s practice of delivering his mes
sages to eongress in person and al
ways has absented himself upon those
occasions. He announced he would
serve on the reception committee.
Open sessions during the entire
ratification debate are expected by the
leaders on both sides.

LOS ANGELES, July 8. Follow
ing an autopsy and inquest over
the body of Frieda Lesser, his fi
ancee, who he admits he slew at a
lonely spot in Topango canyon,
near here, last Friday night, Harry
S. New, who claims to be the son of
United States Senator Harry S.
New of Indiana, was arraigned be
fore Justice of the Peace Howard
Hinshaw late today on a charge of
first degree murder. He will plead
next Monday morning.
Although county autopsy sur
geon A. F, Wagner failed to include
in his report whether the young
woman was expectant of mother
hood, Dr. A. O. Sawyer, a physician
retained by New's attorney, John
Richardson, after examining the
body in Dr. Wagner's presence, de
clared such was the case. Dr. Wag
ner refused to confirm or deny Dr.
Sawyer's statement.
New said Miss Lesser told him
she was about to become the moth
er of his child, and that instead of
marrying him as he said she had
promised she was going to have a
surgical operation performed.
When she told him this, he says, It
angered him so he shot her.
His mother, Mrs. Lulu Burger,
is on the way from Indianapolis to
direct his defense and before leav
ing said she would call on United
States Senator Harry S. New, who
she and the defendant claim is the
latter's father, to aid in the defense.

Today's session of the Ford-Tribune
libel suit sparkled with the give and
take of Tiffany Blake, chief editorial
writer for the Chicago newspaper, and
Alfred Lucking, chief of counsel for
Henry Ford.
Mr. Lucking sought to establish
through the witness that the Tribune,
in opposing war with German over the
submarine question was at one with
Mr. Ford. Mr. Blake pointed out that
while the.United States would in the
opinion of the Tribune, have given
practically unanimous support to the
president had he demanded a declara
tion of war at the time of the sinking
of the Lusitania, war was not de
clared, and in the months that followed
the legal aspects of submarine war
fare assumed such proportions that
united effort for war could not then
have 'been obtained.
"Then there was a considerable fac
tion opposed to war, as Mr. Ford op
posed it?" asked the attorney.
-There certainly was. ' Mr. Wilson
ran for re-election on a platform that
he was to keep us out of war."

BUTTE, Mont., July 8 The "one big
union" convention, holding its final
session here today, chose Great Falls,
Mont., as the place for the next con
vention which will be held before Oc
tober. A resolution demanding that the
United States government immediately
withdraw troops from Russia and rec
ognize the soviet government ot Rus
sia was carried.
C. W. Husting. an official .of the
United Mine Workers of America, ad
dressed the convention and predicted
complete failure for the "one big union"
movement, stating that the Idea was
not new and its failure was already a
matter of history in the achieves of
organized labor. He was interrupted
several times by open expressions of
disapproval and ridicule.
The convention was called by the
Metal Mine Workers' Xo. 1 of America,
of Butte, an independent organization
of which Tom Campbell is the head.
The sessions began Sunday.
Recognize Wobblies
The Industrial Workers of the World
was represented by a committee, and
members of the organization took a
prominent part in the sessions. In
dustrial, Workers of the World organ
izers' from outside of this state also
were present.
The "one big union," as outlined in
the meeting here, provides a plan for
collective bargaining, the demands of
one labor group t be supported by
every other, and the general strike to
constitute a weapon to force com
pliance on the part of employers.
Denounce A. F. of L.
Throughout all of the sessions of the
convention, antagonism was expressed
toward I ae American Federation of
Labor, some of the speakers denounc
ing that organization in the most spir
ited terms.
The delegates represented unions in
Butte, Great Falls, Livingston, Miles
City and Lewistown. Points in Oregon,
Idaho. Washington and Arizona also
were represented by a few delegates.
Most of the men seated in the conven
tion were metal or coal miners-.
Wilson returned lo the United Slates
today and in his first speech delivered !
on American soil since the peace treaty
was signed, declared that the peace
concluded at Paris was 'a just peace,
which if it can be preserved, will safe
guard the world from unnecessary
bloodshed."
The only reference the . president
made to his political opponents was
when, in referring to the negotiations
at Paris, he said:
"I am afraid some people, some per
sons, do not understand that vision.
They do not see it. They have looked
too much upon the ground. They
have thought too much of the inter
ests tHat were near them and they
have not listened to the voices of their
neighbors. I have never had a mo
ment's doubt as to where the heart
and purpose of this people lay."
The president arrived at the Ho-
I boken army pier shortly before 3
j o'clock. The army transport George
Washington, on which he sailed from
Brest, was escorted up the bay by
the Battleship Pennsylvania and more
than a score of destroyers and smaller
naval craft. On the Xew Jersey shore.
the state which first honored Mr. Wil
son with a political office, were massed
10.000 school children who welcomed
he chief executive of the nation to the
strains of the national anthem.
Greeted by Reception Committee
Through the lines of the children all
dressed in white, the president passed
to, the ferry which carried him to the
Manhattan side of the river. He ar
rived in Xew York at 4:15 p. m. where
he was greeted by the official reception
committee, headed by Governor Smith
and Mayor Hylan. From the ferry
terminal to Carnegie hall, a distance
,pf about three miles, the presidential
party passed through..streets lined with
cheering thousands of men. women
and children who thronged the side
walks and filled every available win
dow and roof top.
From the upper windows of the
business skyscrapers great showers of
confetti rained upon the president and
Mrs. Wilson, literally millions of scraps
of paper floating through the air car
rying this motto: "Everybodv's busi
ness. To stand by our government. To
neip tne soiaier get a job. To help
crush bolshevism."
War Vets Head Procession
The head of the procession was
formed by several companies of sold
iers and marines, followed by some
nunareas ol sailors. Immediately pre
ceding the presidential car was an
automobile filled with secret service
men and the car itself was guarded by
the president's personal bodyguard of
four picked men.
In the car with President Wilson,
were Mrs. Wilson, Governor Smith and
Mayor Hylan.
The president remained standing,
raising his hat constantly in response
to the wave of cheering which rolled
along the route of march. At one
point on Twenty-third street, opposite
a large factory building, the windows
of which were filled with girl workers,
the president seized an American flag
and waved it vigorously in acknowl
edgement of the girla- cheering.
A couple of hundred automobiles,
carrying cabinet members, a congres
sional delegation and representatives
of the state and civil government be
sides diplomatis representatives of the
allied nations, completed the proces
sion. -
Crowds Pack Carnegie Hall
Several hours before the, president's
arrival at Carnegie hall every seat in
the building was occupied and the po
lice had difficulty in keeping back the i
thousands who tried to force a way
into the hall. '
As the president stepped from his
automobile a massed naval and mili
tary band played "The Star Spangled
Banner.' while the military escort pre
sented arms. Mr. Wilson was preceded
to the stage by vice -President and
Mrs. Marshall, former Speaker of the
House Champ Clark and Samuel
Gompers, president of the American
Federation of Labor, all of whim were
recognized and cheered by the crowd.
Great Ovation for Wilson
The president's appearance on the
platform was the signal for an ovation
and Governor Smith. The latter in
troduced the president as the bearer
of a peace treaty "worthy of honor,
dignity and majesty of this great coun
try." When Mr. Wilson stepped to thr
front of the stage the band again be
gan playing the national anthem, but
was drowned in the cheers of the sev
eral thousand men and women in the
audience.
Under Emotional Strain
Mr. Wilson was obviously under the
strain of deep emotion whrn he began
to speak and his voice was notoriously
hoarse. He said:
'Fellow countrymen:
"I am not. going to try this after
noon to make you a real speech. I am
a bit alarmed to find how many
speeches I have in my system unde
livered, but they are' all speeches that
come from the mind and I want to
say to you this afternoon only a few
words from the heart.

on the cwher side of the water to con
ceal it, been the most homesick man
in the American expeditionary force.
and it is with profound feelings tn.it
it would be vain of me to try to ex
press that I find myslf in this beIovr-1
country again. I do not say that be
cause T lack in admiration of othci
countries.
Homesickness Was Softened
"There have been many things that
softened my homesickness. One of tin
chief things that softened it was the
very generous welcome that they ex
tended to me as your representative
on the other side of the water. And
it was still more softened by the pride
that I bad in discovering that Amerie-n
had at least convinced the world ol
her true character.
"I was welcome because they hac
seen with their own eyes that America
had done for the world. They had
deemed her selfish. They had deemed
her devoted to material interests. Anil
the water with a vision even more
the water with a visiai eve nmore
beautiful than that which they con
ceived when they had . entertained
dreams of liberty and peace.
"And then I had the added pride ol
finding out by personal observation the
kind of men we had sent over. I had
crossed te seas with the kind of men
who had taken them over, without
whom they could not have got tc
Europe, and then when I got there 1
saw that army of men. that army ol
clean men, that army that one was
glad to point out and say these arc
my fellow countrymen.
Boys to Be Proud Of
"It softens the homesickness a goof!
deal to have so much of home alons
with you and these boys were con
stantly reminding me of home. They
did not walk the streets like anybody
else. ' I do not mean that they walked
the streets slf -assertively. They dii
not. They walked the streets as it
they knew that they belonged wher
ever free men lived, that they were
welcome in the great republic of
France and were comrades with the;
other armies that had helped to win
the great battle and 'o show the grej't
sacrifice. Because it is a wonderfu
thing for this nation, hitherto isolated
from the large affairs of the world t.
win not only the universal confident-
o the people of the world, but their
i niversal affections.
. "And that, and nothing less than
that, is what has happened. Wherever
it was suggested that troops should be
sent and it (was desired that troops ol
occupation should excite no prejudice,
no uneasiness on the part of those tc
whom they were sent, the men who
represented the other nations came tc
me and asked me to send American
soldiers. They not only implied, but
they said that the presence of Amer
ican soldiers would be known not tc
mean anything except friendly protec
tion and assistance. Do you wonder

WASHIXGTOX. July S. President
Wilson spent the last hours of his sec
ond home coming voyage from France
in witnessing, among other things,
from the captains bridge, the majes
tic naval spectacle in his honor and
waving and bowing acknowledgments
as the great guns of the great dread
naughts belched forth their presi
dential salutes.
Wig-wagged from . the battleship
Pennsylvania, the flagship of the com
mander of the Atlantic fleet, upon
which .were cabinet offiicais and mem

was this message from Vice-President
Marshall:
Marshall Welcomes Chief Executive
"Mr. President: We who salute you,
are only the advance guard of that vast
army of your fellow countrymen who
joyfully welcome you to the homeland,
not to the hours of rest which your ar
duous duties so justly entitle you, but
in health of body and strength of mind
to assist in the solution of those vex
ing and intricate internal problems
arising out of the world war so hap
pily now concluded: to congratulate
you upon the auspicious ending of
your epoch-making mission and your
possession, while at the peace table,
of that rare blending of vision and
common sense which enabled you to
get all you could and not to see any
long as you shall continue to stand
for the glory, the perpetuity and the
manifest" destiny of the republic."
At 8 o'clock this morning the presi
dential fleet passed lightship X. Y. 2
twenty-eight miles east of Ambrose
channel. The weather was clear and
bracing, with the sea lightly rippled,
the sky clear, and a cool, southerly
breeze' blowing the same ideal weath
er that has followed the president
across the ocean.
. At 3 o'clock six black spots right in
the air came in sight ofr anead. Soon
they grew in size and gave a hoarse
roar as the outlines of six big naval
hydro-airplanes came into view, bring
ing the first greetings from land. They
wheeled and circled over the ship, their
pilots waving welcomes.
Naval Escort Appears
Toward 10 o'clock the fleet of dread
naughts and destroyers to meet the
president was sighted. It was a stir
ring scene as they came on perfectly
aligned with the dreadnaughts in a
double column.- and the destroyers
stretching away as far as the eye could
see.
Ahead on starboard came the Penn
sylvania, flying the flag of the Sec
retary of the Navy, followed by the
Delaware. Off to port the Utah led
the way, followed by the North Da
kota. As they came abreast, the great
guns of the dreadnaughts thundered
out their presidential salute, while long
