ULSTER CABINET
(By tilt Alloc La Ud Pnu)
Dublin, Auk. 16. In opening the
Dail Elreann ut its first public sua
sion hero today, Kanionn de Valera,
the republican leader remitted Ireland's
claim for separation from Great Brit
ain and declared the only govern
ment the people recognized was the
ministry of Dail Elreann, the Irish
republican parliament.
lie and his colleagues, de Valera
taid, had adopted toward England the
principle laid down by Cardinal Mer
cier of Belgium toward Germany
that external authority was unlawful.
The Irish, he said, stood for the ideals
enthroned in tho American declara
tion of Independence. w
Mr. de Valera provoked laughter
by describing the British attitude as
that of a great nation demanding
guarantees for its safety to o, small
state.
The cabinet, Mr. do Valora de
clared, did not think the British pro
posals were Just.
Mr. de Valera pointed to the very
impossible conditions surrounding ne
gotiations with the British govern
ment, for the position he said was
that of a man unarmed facing a
man, pointing a pistol.
There were people who wanted to
negotiate to save their faces, he con
tinued, but the Sinn Fein would not
negotiate to save faces, but to save,
it possible, bloodshed and for right
end principle.
Belfast, Ireland, Aug. IS. After
meeting of the Ulster cabinet which
was held today an official statement
was issued stating that the general
situation was carefully reviewed and
that there was absolutely no change
in the position, so far as Ulster was
concerned.
Dub. in, Aug. 16. The Irish repub
Lean parliament met here today in
Die first open session in its history,
to consider the British government's
t't-aee terms.
There were 130 members present.
including those who have bee-il re
leased from piison to admit of their
unending the session.
The great audience crowded the
gallery floor as Eanionn de Vale."i
led the members into the chamber.
The scenes attending tho opening
of the Irish republican parliament
here today were In striking contrast
to those witne&sed In L'elfasl, in whlih
King George opened the Ulster par
Lament. Dublin wai not decoratod
ar. was Belfast, and, instead of squad
roiis of cavalry a division of Infantry
and Innumerable police, the only unt
formed men to be seen on the streets
Were traffic officers. Even these dH
not appear In the vicinity of the
Mansion Huus where the parliament
met. The crowd which stood for
lours in a downpour of rain was
kept in order by republican volun
teers, who ulso acted as ushers lo
members of parliament and those
holding tickets of udmlssion to th
hull. Most members of the Dull Kir
eann were unknown lo the crowd
which reserved cheers for such rec
ognized leaden as Kamonn de Valera
and Arthur Griffith.
It Is understood today tliat formal
consideration of the British govern
ment's offer would not be begun until
1 hursday.
It was suld that it was possible th'it
this program had beer, arranged by
the parliament so that Harry J. Bo-,
land, representative of the Irish re
publicans In tho United States, might
participate In the debute.
Mr, Boland sailed for Europe from
New York lust Saturday and It wis
Mtid that an the Sinn Fein wa.i greatly
influenced by American opinion and
was anxious to learn what Amerii-a
thought of the British government's
tffcr, a decision might be delayed
Until Mr. Roland could appear before
tho parliament.
There were 1.000 pent for siccta
torn in the assembly hull of the Man
sion House and upw.uJ of 10,000
applications were tiuulo for them.
Irpanmentul reports will be pre
tented tomorrow and It ts believe-!
that those of foreign minister and
home sisrelary of tho Irish repub
lican government have already Uon
jropared.
While the situation today was ad
mltedly grave, there was a note of
optimism to lie found nnd the enrn
cstness which was evident yesterday
when member of the parliament gath
erod In this city appeared to Indicate
they were determined to study, care
fully, the situation before reaching' a
decision.

AGAINST THE "NON
PARTISAN" LEAGUE
GOVERNOR ROBERTSON IN AD
DRESS AT l"N10N CONVENTION
WARNED AGAINST LEAGUE
ACTIVITIES

ing to farmers of Oklahoma against

later he had come to tho conclusion
that its practices are "very danger
ous." "That Is the one thing I fear In
farmers' organizations," added the ex
ecutive," and the only thing about
which I urn worrying in connection
with them."
Tho governor made reference to the
decision of Judge tliam Jones here
late yesterday which declared that
the governor had no jiower to veto
a bill or section thrnof without re
turning it to the legislature. The
dicision was rmdered in the man
damus suit brought by Norma Bath
bun, clerk In the office of the state
examiner and Inspector against Frank
C. Carter, stale auditor, seeking a
VTit to compel him to pay her salary.
The governor said the Judge, in de
claring ugainst the power of the gov.
troops veto, thereby allowed , the leg
islature to place upon the governor
the burden of total approval or total
disapproval of the manner in which
It phrased its bills.
The governor also defended his
stand of a year ago on the mill and
a half tux levy, declaring that in
making his decision, he was looking
to the future.

H. Hyde of Alva, vice, president of
tho union. The ronveution will be

VICTIM OF BOOT
LEGGER WAR DYING
WITH SEALED LIPS
TERROK OK THE "CAM.MORA" SO
CHILLS HEARTS THAT DETEC
TIVES ARE UNABLE TO FUND
A SINGLE (LEW
New York. Aug. 16. Joseph Siloo
was reported by the police today to be
dying with sealed lips a victim of.
a bootlegger war in the Italian quar-l
ters, which has rolled up a cas
ualty list of 20 in the last three
months.
Despite the fact that the attack
on Slleo was made in the midst of a
crowd of SO picnickers at New Dorp
Leach, Staten Island, detectives assign
ed to the case wore unable to gain a
single clue as to the assailant's Iden
tity. Terror of the "cammora" they said,
had so chilled the hearts of the wit
nesses that none could be found who
woulit admit having even seen the man
who emptied three chambers of a pis
tol Into Sileo's body as he sat on a
hotel veranda at New Dorp. Two of
Sileo's brothers who were nearby, pro
fessed to be entirely mystified. Slleo,
on his hospital bed. refused to dis
cuss the shooting. The picnic went
merrily on to its conclusion with de
tectives circulating through the crowd
to prevent the outbreak of further
trouble.
Eleven of the 19 shootings that
preceded Sileo's death took place at
or near the corner of Grand and
Christie streets In the lower east side.
This corner, tho police say. Is the
scene of a secretly conducted boot
leggers "curb market.".
Detectives also are trying to trace
to the bootleggers fued, a shooting
that occurred early today in the Bronx.
Joseph Lazaro, the victim, said he
had been shot by a man posing as a
protlbition agent, who first tried to
extort !00 in exchange for immunity
from nrrest on a charge of having a
can of Italian wine in his possession.
He said he could not identify his as
