IRISH STAND PATCOAST SLEUTHS AGAINST PROPOSALRUM RUNNERS, ~ PRESIDENT OF : agate eeasdnets _OUTWITTED BY BOOZE POURS IN" SHORTAGE OF REPUBLIC GETS FORTH STATUS Terms Offered by Great Britain Impossible, Says De Valera DUBLIN, Aug. The Associated Press.) — Eamonn De Valera, Irish Re- publican leader, declared to- day that the Dail Eireann would not accept the terms offered by the Britsh government, ex- tending to Ireland an offer of domin- fon status. Mr. De Valera made this declara- tion at the second session of the Dail Eireann, held in the Mansion house, to take up the question of the negotia- tions with Premier Lloyd George with regard to a possible Irish settlement. “From the reports this morning in the British and foreign press,” said Mr, DeValera, “there seems to~ be doubt as to what our attitude is to- ward the British proposals. There seems to be doubt as to whether what I bave said or whether our letter means .acceptance or rejection. “There ought to be no doubt in anybody's mind, “We cannot and will not on behalf of this nation accept these terms. “There is an Indian pyoverb read- tng. ‘Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me.’ The Irish people will not be fooled this time. “St is said we are offered the status of dominion home rule for Ireland —the status of the British dominions. Ireland is offered no such thing. The statement that Ireland was offered 2 dominion status contained two false- hoods. Where is Ireland? There is no ireland in the terms but two broken Pleces of Ireland. “What was offered was not even dominion status. It was admitted the dominions had the, right to secede and could get out of they desired. We are told we must stay in whether we like it or not. “We are not claiming the right to secede. There cannot be a question of secessjon, because there has never been union. “Northern Ireland has regarded it- self. from its own viewpoint, and in entering negotiations they need not give up that point of yiew, I would be willing to suggest to the Irish people that tHey give up a good deal in order to have Ireland able to look into the future anticipating distracting internal problems. “AN tho time ‘these. negotiations have meant an attempt to get into touch with the people of the north and tell them we have no emnity and would nfake sacrifices for them which we would never think of making for Britain. We will be ready to give them every safeguard any reasonable erson could say they were arbitra- tion, or leave the whole question to ex- ternal arbitration. “England's claim {s unreasonable. ‘The claims of the minority in Ireland are unreasonable. But even unrea- sonable claims we would be ready to consider and I for éne would be ready to go.a long way to giv. "way to them, particularly to their sentiment, if we could get them to come with us and consider the interests of their’ own country and not be allying themselves with foreigners.” Mr. DeValera saiq the Irish nation did not stand between England and the world and was not shutting up the seas between the two islands. “We have no emnity toward Eng- land,” he declared “at least if this question were settled, I believe there. would be none. The only emnity is to that rule which the Irish people hate to the morrow of their bones. It was said, remarked the Repubii- can leader, that the Irish question was @ problem. It was a problem, he de- clared—a problem of a powerful, sel- fish person wishing to encroach upon the rights of the property and the freedom of his neighbors. That was the fundamental problem to be settled. Human nature had to be taken into gonsideration, ho pointed out, and they who were work = compicte and final settlement were to see to ft that relations must be adjusted on the basis of right. Therefore, in consider- ing the problem, they who had right on their side, he said, must count. “The Irish people won't flinch now because mi arms are being sent for,” he dec!

L. Putnam, state examiner, “some irregulari- ties and some seeming extravagant expenditures are still per- mitted.” The charge of extravagance is explained by the statement that overtime compensation is regu- larly allowed to the county assessor and the county treasurer and for some months to the county clerk. This practice is defended- by the county c@mmissioners on the grounds that local conditions are such that it is im- possiblé to retain competent persons iu these important offices at the sal- aries fixed by law. Other conditions which enter into the criticism are enumerated. Instead of a salary of $62.50 allowed by law the justice of the peace retains the fees in Meu of salary. The vast amount of criminal work it is ex- plained would make it necessary to serve full time and this he could not do for the monthly stipend allowed. “The county attorney's office shows heavy expenses, he being al- lowed a stenographer, office rent and two assistants, These two assistants are deemed necessary on account of a large velume of criminal work and I am informed that their appointment was authorized by the district’ court; the report. ‘The county has provided the sher- iff with an automobile for his official use yet on making trips to points away from the county seat the sher- iff has rendered bills for these trips in @ddition to the use of the county car. When this charge was questioned by the’ county commissioners the sheriff cloimed the money as mileage allowed sheriff's. : “It w noted,” says the report, “that for assisting in the canvas of votes of the late special election coun- ty clerk made a charge of $10.00. As this is part’ of her official duty, the charge is an illegal one regardless of the fact thot it has been allowed previous county clerks. “Other departments than those men- tioned have large expense, an amount that seems unnecessary, but which must be left to the discretion of the county commissioners to decide upon the merits of each case. 5 “The estimated county expense for the present year was fixed at $225,- 000 of which it was estimated that $18,000 would be necessory to pay outstanding indebtedness brought over from 1920, leaving the sum of $207,000 to meet the expense for the year 1921. ‘For the first six months of the present year the expenditures ar..ount- ed to $106,642.70, As the county dur- ing the remaining months of the year must put in an expensive bridge washed out by high water in addi- tion to meeting ordinary ‘ erpense, close economy will be necessary to keep the expenditures within the proper limits. “Fair and carefully reviewing the condition as disclosed by the investi- gation, I can state that the condition has been greatly improved over that of last year but that some matters still require cosrection and firm au- Plication of the principle of economy along every Jine possible should be enforced. é “ Clerk’ of Court. ‘The heavy court docket is given as the reason why Miss Hazel Conwell’s office is two months behind in its re- ports.

Gavin was formally charged with the embezzlement of $3000 in one count. It is said that several counts could be filed against him and while wfficial advices are lacking the amount of his shortages were at times esti. mated in excess of $30,000. Peculiar cycles of the case are shown in the fact that the county at- torney now is M. W. Purcell, who de- fended Gavin at the first trial. Mr. Purcell’s office was made ‘ inopera- tive by the decision of the supreme court and the notice which compelled Gavin's rearrest was made by Hal Curran who was prosecutor at the time that Gayin was convicted in the district court. Another angle of the situation is that Ralph Kimball the judge who sentenced Gavin is now on the state supreme court bench and therefore could not sit in the case. — aa REGKLESS DRIVER 15 FINED S80 BY COURT T.

BELGRADE, Aug. 17.—King Peter of Serbia died yesterday, following a long illness. He was 76 years of age and was beloved by his: people. Despite his age, King Peter pre- sented one of the most courageous fig- ures of the war. On the day that Serbia rejected the Austrian demands Peter renounced his temporary abdi cation of the throne and placed him- self once more at the head of the country. He was even then almost sightless and hard of hearing and was under the constant care of a physi- cian. When against fortunes of war turned Serbians he -remained the the with his armies till practically the last units had been driven from the coun- try.
