Commission Will Figure Boundary
of North and South Sections
IBy United Press
LONDON, Dec. 3. Sinn Fein has
leen offered an "Irish free state" with
in the empire, with a dominion status
effective one year from date of accept
ance, according to the Times statement
of Lloyd George's plan. Ulster is to
be permitted to enter after six months,
but would retain permament control
of her financial rights, it was stated.
A boundary commission of three repre
sentatives of England, Sinn Fein and
Ulster is to be named. The plan- must
be approved by a general south of Ire
land election befor it is accepted. The
indications are if Sinn Fein accepts the
terms that Great Britain will then en
force them regardless of Ulster.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 3. Re
freshed by a night's sleep in a hotel un
der guard of a squad of bailiffs, the Ar
buckle jury convened again at the Hall
of Justice at 10 o'clock this morning.
At 10:15 the jury had been out eighteen
hours and was reported to have taken
twelve ballots. Rumors varied as to
the result of the balloting, some giving
expect a verdict today, but the majori
ty are talking about a disagreement and
a new trial. Those close to the judge
believe he will not discharge the jury
as long as there is a chance of an agree
ment being reached, it is thought he
would hold the jury in session over
Sunday if necessary. "Even though
a disagreement results it will be a
moral victory, if the majority is for ac
quittal," the defense stated this morn
ing. At 11 o'clock there was still no

A PASSING REVIEW
BY THE NOTATOR
Chemist
By Chas. McCann, United Press
staff correspondent.
LONDON, Dec. 3. A simple memo
rial has been unveiled here to the man
who, next to the kaiser, was cursed
during the war by more millions of
sweating soldiers than any other man
in Europe and whom millions more,
gasping in a cloud of poison gas, have
had cause to bless.
The memorial; unveiled in the examin
ation hall of the Pharmaceutical Socie-
ey, is to Lieutenant Colonel E. F. Har
rison, inventor of the box-respirator or
gas mask of which over 20,000,000 were
manufactured for British and Ameri
can soldiers, ad which almost any sol
dier who has seen active service will
say saved his life.

At the outbreak of the war Lieuten
ant Colonel Harrison was a civilian, a
distinguished chemist with three de
grees. He made several unsuccessful
attempts' to enlist, but in 1915, at the
age of 47. managed to get into the
Sportsmen's Battalion as a private.
His entrance into the army synchroniz
ed with the first German gas attack at
Ypres, and he was immediately trans
ferred to the special branch of the Roy
al Engineers. He quickly became a
leader among the band of chemists who
made up the anti-gas department.
After many experiments' he perfected
the lox-respirator, rendering the wear
er immune from fumes of any known
poison gas. He received rapid promo
tion, and finally became controller of
chemical warfare. He died in Novem
ber, 1918, just at armistice time, from
pneumonia, aggravated by exposure to
gas during the course of his experi
ments. Shortly before his death he
learned he was to be promoted to the
rank of brigadier general and that he
had been awarded the Legion of Honor.

During the week Senator Oddie flar
ed into print defensively on his vote
on the Phipps-Townsend-Dowell fed
eral road bill, but as he makes this a
personal matter between himself and
former Highway Engineer Cottrell, and
the latter being out of the state, and
alo off the Nevada pay roll, it needs
no reply from the former engineer. The
main contention of the junior senator
of Nevada is that the retrocative feat
ure is embraced in the bill, but accord
ing to those familiar with the bill, the
roads and the retroactive feature the
law as it stands is some $600,000 shy of
what was anticipated. If the senator
dotnsn't believe this feature of the bill
all he has to do is to ask the Washoe
commissioners who get no draw-down
of retroactive money from the govern
ment on their recently constructed con
crete highway between Reno and Car
son. Fortunately the junior senator
will have some five years to explain
this matter, as his term of office cov
ers that period. In the meantime it
will take a clearer letter to the public
to overcome the shortage. It was far
short of a $600,000 letter to the advo
cates of the original bill which before
Tasker was handed that amendment, by
some eastern brother who slipped the
package to him, included the retroac
tive feature which would have covered
many of the roads that are now out of
the rebate.
The recent federal trial jury has
concluded six weeks of labor, resulting
in so many convictions and fines and
imprisonments that the Washoe county
jail is well filled, the exchequer of the
government replenished and another
batch of defendants is awaiting indict
ment and trial. Now this all harks
back to the question of the appointment
of a special prosecutor for such cases,
which is advocated by the present fed
eral attorney and his deputy. During
the session many a civil action lan
guished and much money is involved in
issues that are held' up all on account
of Mr. Volstead. The appointment as
suggested sounds good, but what relief
does that bring without another federal
judge to help the prosecutor? One
without the other does no untangle the
situation, and it is confessed that the
business has multiplied five-fold. Here
is where the Democratic party slipped

During the week two small political
volcanic eruptions came to pass in the
Republican camp. First, the iro'w.scd
not far remote, that provision he made
for a special federal attorney to help,
and also the naming of another judge,
both naturally would have been Demo
cratic, but the ease of the saddle did
not chafe, and the boys were thrown
rudely from the seating with a sudden
and tremendous jar last fall, and when
they came to the game was over and
the other fellow was doing the riding,
which simply reflects bad judgment. So
much on that score.
Now a little figuring clarifies the
solution. First and foremost George
Springmeyer has insisted that he be
named to fill the place of Billy Wood
burn, while the other faction of the Re
publican party can't quite forgive
George for his past, therefore, they
have thrown a few ties across his rail,
but by the creation of a special prose
cutor this makes room for George and
likewise the other faction. Then should
it be necessary to have another judge
named, who could relieve and help take
up the work with Judge Farrington,
you can see that it would make room
for other ambitions that otherwise can
not be satisfied, and with it all it is
tremendously good politics, and don't
forget but there is a movement toward
this plan, and if the past six weeks' is
any criterion it is necessary if any
thing but booze cases are to be tried in
the federal court.
During the federal court trials in this
city an officer from one of the counties
made some remarks at one of the gath
erings about the Arlington, in which
he stated that the next legislature
would through necessity have to repeal
the state dry act, or amend it to con
form with the federal law, for should a
series of trials come to any county it
would send it to the bankrupt court.
ile cited one county where hve jury
trials resulted in five acquttals and the
costs ran into five figures. It is a cer
tainty that with Uncle Sam footing the
bill and collecting the fines, and not
caring financially if a case is lost, that
the desire to spend county money will
not be as keen as the advocates of law
and order first anticipated. It only
takes about half a dozen trials in a
county to exhaust the venire and also
the treasury, so the dry advocates will
have to do a lot of new work to con

One of the largest crowds witnessed
the football game this afternoon be

teams for the championship of the state
candidacy of Hugh Henry Brown of that has been on the local grid this
Tonopah as either senator or governor.
The advocates in the silver camp be
lieve that he is timber for either of the
political places, and there has been no
denial of his qualifications. Brown once
had political ambitions and was beaten,
but so was Oddie, so there is no telling

never stops in fact. He had his Thanks

in Reno, and then passed over to the

ment is going to keep Hugh Henry,

like flabby cakes? They have been

While on the Republican senatorial '
timber it was noted that the Elko Free
Press has again dug up Sammy Arentz.
The echo didn't get very far, for Arentz
is yet busy explaining that counterfeit
mining bill that some of the big busi
ness advocates handed him when he first
broke into the game in Washington.
Until that is off his constitution, or un
til it is disposed of to the satisfaction
of the state that believed he was wised
up beyond being the sack holder in a
snipe hunt, the rest of the state papers
are keeping off his trail. It is believed
that the Republican party is figuring
for seasoned timber.
There is one element in the Republi
can ranks that has ''em guessing and
that is Ed Roberts. Now Roberts is
going to be in the race, either for con
gress or senatorship, and some of the
wise ones in Reno know it and it has
them worried. Ed has the same old
smile, has never forgo' ttn a man, wom
an or child, knows them by name and
politics, and he has been doing a little
circulating recently. He was noted
while in Carson this week and the glad
hand of the old guard of the G. O. P.
was extended. Just keep your eye on
Roberts, he figures on a come-back and
is in training. .
