DE VALEHA DESIGNS
IRISH PfiESIDENCY
ANNOUNCEMENT FOLLOWS DAIL
EIREANN’S RATIFICATION OF
PEACE PACT WITH ORI r ISH
VOTE ON TREATY 64 TO 57
Ratification of Pact End of
Day of Intense Excitement
and Heated Controversy
in Dail.
Dublin.—*Hie treaty creating -the
Irish free state was ratified Saturday
by the dail eireann. By a majority of
B 4 to 57 it gave its approval to the
document signed by its delegates at
London.
Coincidentally, Eamonn de Valera
announced his resignation from the
presidency of the Irish republic.
The news was received with the
greatest enthusiasm and the patient
crowds which had waited for hours
outside in anticipation of a decision
burst into cheers, even before the of
ficial figures were announced.
Ratification came after a day of in
tense excitement and heated contro
versy. Although the result was as had
been expected, the majority was great
er than had be- n counted on almost
up to the last minute.
A tense, strained silence prevailed
while the vote was being taken and a
gasp of relief went up from the sup
porters of the treaty when the result
was announced. A dramatic scOne en
sued, when De Valera stood up and in
broken voice, which vibrated with
emotion, declared that “the republic”
must be carried on.
Eventually he broke down so com
pletely that he was unable to proceed.
The dail, with one accord, applauded
and cheered him.
Future control of the Irish republi
can army Is the subject of anxious
speculation, as Charles Burgess, who
strongly opposed the treaty, is minis
ter of defense.
. So far as the republic is concerned,
Dublin seems delighted over ratifica
tion. Arthur Griffith and his col
leagues on leaving parliament were
wiidy cheered and the city was in jub
iliant spirits.
On the announcement of the figures,
Mr. De Valera declared the Irish peo
ple had established a republic, and un
til the Irish people in a regular man
ner disestablished the republic it con
stitutionally went on. This would be
a sovereign body in the nation, to
which the nation looks for supreme
government. It was the executive un
til the people disestablished it.

INROADS ON U. S. TRADE
Now Carry Greater Portion of Cargoes
from This Country to South
America

carrying the bulk of the cargo between
this country and the east coast of
South America and are increasing
their proportion although American
ships are making a better showing on
the routes to and from the west coast

vey Issuefl recently by the commerce

trade of this country, exports being
twice as large as imports.
The small amount of cargo moving
between Pacific coast ports and the
east coast of South America, the sur
vey added, was all carried in Ameri
can vessels.

ican shl[» are carrying 52 per cent of
the cargo between the Atlantic coast
and the west coast of South America
and 54 per cent for the Pacific coast.
For the first 10 months of 1921, the
total volume of trade between this
country and the west coast of South

lion long tons, or less than two per
cent of the total of the Imports and ex
ports to this country. .

pared to speak In his own defense in
the contest brought by his Democratic,
opponent, Henry Ford, for the sena

at stake in the 1918 election, won by-
Mr. Newberry.
Senator Newberry, pressing back the
swinging doors to the Republican
cloak room, bumped into Senator Nor
ris (Republican). Nebraska, who has
been listed, unofficially, as one of the
persons counted to vote against him.
In a few moments the senator was
surrounded by his colleagues. Sena
tor Trammell (Democrat), Florida,
took the floor and began an address
urging adoption of a minority report
holding that Senator New-berry was
not entitled to hold his seat.
Nobody on the Republican side
seemed to pay much attention to Sen
ator Trammell’s review of the New
herry trial evidence. House members
swarmed in and women in the galleries
kept on with their whispering and
knitting.
Senator Newberry began reading his
address nt 1 :30 o’clock. As he arose.
Senator Harrison, Democrat, Missis
slpl, asked that he he allowed more
than one hour.
“I appreciate the suggestion, but my
speech will not take an hour,’’ Senator

statement at 2 o’clock. There was
just one hand-clap, Senator Walsh.
Democrat. Montana, then begin ques
tioning the senator.

leaning on his desk, looked across the

were true that he did not go on the
stand in his trial at Grand Rapids.
“It Is,” Senator Newberry replied.
A sweeping declaration of his inno
cence was made by Senator Newberry.
Taking the floor for his defense in
the ouster proceedings brought by
Henry Ford, defeated Democratic can
didate, Senator Newberry emphatically
denied personal knowledge of the col
lection or expenditure of the large
campaign fund spent in his behalf.
“As God Is my witness, I am not to
this day and hour conscious of having
done, in connection eifher with the
primary campaign or the general elec
tion of 1918. In Michigan," he said, “n
single net that was, or Is. unlawful
dishonorable, or corrupt, and this I say
to the senate without reservation or
qualification.”
“Upon these facts, as I then believed
them to be, and as I now believe them
to he, I shall abide the result wdth a
clear conscience,” he added in conclu
sion of his prepared address.

hotel in a dazed condition.
Physicians who wore hurriedly sum
moned found him suffering from chock
and from severe bruises on his back.

would be confined to his bed for sev
eral days, and said he should not at
tempt to attend to any official duties.
Drink Varniah For Wine, Two Dying
Grand Rapids, Mich.—Eight elder?
of the Seventh Reformed church here
were poisoned at the morning services
Sunday when they drank varnish that
had been poured into a communion
cup in the belief that it was sacra
mental wine. Two of the elders are
said to be in a critical condition.
The church recently had been re
paired and in the storeroom where
the sacramental wine is kept in a jug.
several jugs of varnish had been
stored. An official of the church 1?

Rail Director Instructed to Resign
Washington.—W. Averill Harriman

BAN IS PLACED ON USE
OF POISON GAS IN WAR
Five Powers Agree on Prohibi
tion and Are to Invite Others
to Join in Agreement.
Washington.—The Washington con
ference about completed armament
(imitation program Saturday by voting
poison gas into the discard.
As in the case of the neXv rules to
govern submarines, the prohibition
against use of gas was adopted by the
five great powers as applicable among
themselves, with an invitation to the
rest of the world to join in the agree
ment.
That left on the armament waiting
list only two topics—limitation of
aircraft and general revision of the
rules of warfare —and both seem like
ly to be passed over without definite
action.
An air warfare sub-committee has
reported after much study that limita
tion of airplanes appears impracticable
until a conference of wider scope has
been convened, although it was sug
gested that some restrictions on use
of lighter-than-air craft might be
worth attempting.
A future world conference for con
sideration for rules of war also has
been suggested and sentiment Hmong
the delegates seems to favor It. Italy
hopes to see the present negotiations
develop some agreement against bom
barding unfortified cities.
The general belief is that with the
armament negotiations ended the Far
Eastern side could be wound up in an
other week or 10 days. Tliat would
seem to forcast a final adjournment
about two weeks or so hence, but not
so soon as some delegates had expect
ed. Prince Tokugawa of the Japanese
delegation left for Japan Saturday, but
it was indicated that Mr. Balfour was
considering canceling his steamship
reservations for next Saturday.

POWERS AGREE
ON SUB QUESTION
MERCHANT SHIPS ARE PROTECT-
ED AGAINST SUBMARINE AT
TACKS BY AGREEMENT
ROOT RESOLUTION ADOPTED
Ask World to Subscribe to Decree to
Purge Seas Forever of Under-Sur
face Warefare as New Princi
ple of International Law.
Washington.—The five greatest nav
al powers of the world have decreed,
as between themselves, abolishment of
submarine warfare against merchant
ships. To purge the seas forever of
this hidden menace to peaceful folk
and ships, the world is asked to sub
scribe to the decree as a new principle
of international law.
I As adopted by the naval committee
of the arms conference the resolution
proposed by Elihu Root, and amended
by Arthur J. Balfour, to become im
mediately etfectlve between the five
signatory powers, runs as follows:
“The signatory powers recognize the
practical impossibility of using subma
rines as commerce destroyers without
violating, as they were violated In the
war of 1914-1918, requirements uni
versally accepted by civilized nations
for the protection of the lives of neu
trals and non-combatants, and to the
end that the prohibition Os the use of
submarines as commerce destroyers
shall be universally accepted as a part
of the law of nations they now accept
that prohibition as henceforth binding
as between themselves, and they invite
all other nations to adhere thereto.”
Action of the committee is final so
far ns the conference and the five nav
al powers are concerned. The confer
ence merely will give formal ratifica
tion to the anti-submarine pact when
the five-power treaty in which It wilt
be Incorporated comes up in open ses
sion.
The naval committee also adopted
the first Root projxwal to declare In
simplest terms the rules of Interna
tional law applying to merchant ves
sels, their full application to subma
rines and the Invitation of the five
powers to all other nations to join tn
the declaration.
