WAR PROFITEERS ESCAPE Statute of Limitations Likely to Bar Some Prosecutions. Washington, D. C.—Criminal prose | cution of several war contract fraud cases by the government may be bar- red by the statute of limitation, it wa | said at the-department of justice. The federal criminal statute, officials ex plained, runs for three years after | the commission of an overt act in case | of a conspiracy to defraud the gov- | ernment, and many of the war-time | contracts were completed when the armistice was signed November 11, 1918, The federal statute, however, it was | said, applies only to criminal cases and does not affect civil suits for Wife Kills Mate At Indian School.

London.—The Irish republican par- Mament'’s reply to Premier Lloyd George's latest communication rejects the British government's proposals for settlement of the Irish question on the ground that they are not based on a dominion status for Ireland. It leaves the way open for further negotiations, however, by offering at once to appoint plenipotentiaries on the basis of the principle of government by consent of | the governed. The reply shows De Valera and the Dail Etreann have not receded from their former position. It emphasizes that the British government's propos: als are not an invitation to enter into a free and willing partnership with the nations of the British common- wealth, but that the conditions Lloyd George seeks to impose would divide Ireland into two artificial and mutu- ally destructive states. It insists plen- {potentiaries must enter a conference untrammeled by conditions, but with that proviso, and says that the Dail | Eireann is ready to appoint plenipo- tentiaries. Except that Mr. De Valera seems to ignore the premier’s warning of danger in delay, the position is much the same as in the last exchange in leters. The most threatening feature still remains the refusal of Ulster to yield, in which it is recognized there is real danger. ; ‘GRAIN FIRE LOSSES HEAVY THIS YEAR Olympia, Wash.—Fire losses in the grain fields of eastern Washington are heavier this year than in many | seasons, Captain W. A. Gross, assist- ant state fire marshal stated on his return from two months of active fight- | | ing of fires in the grain fields of the Walla Walla and Palouse districts. The fires have been greater in num- | ber and have been harder to control, due to the extremely dry and hot sea son, with the resultant heavy foliage on the grain. Two fires in the Walla Walla district recently destroyed two | fields of 700 and 735 acres of grain, respectively. One of these fires was directly traceable to a lighted match or a cigarette stub carelessly thrown from & passing automobile. Second to this menace was the ac- cumulation of smut dust in threshing machines, the smut being unusually heavy. Explosions of this dust caused by sparks of static electricity were frequent and caused heavy losses. CHANDLER SIX $(T85 Down to the 1913 Price August 1913 $1785 What the Chandler Motor It means much to you. It is the exclusive Chandler motor, found under the hood of no other car. It was designed by Chandler engineers eight years ago, and has been developed and refined by the same engineers through all these years. Thousand of owners named it “the Marvelous Motor.” And it is distinctly that. The Chandler motor is alive with power. any right-minded driver could ever want to use. steep hill or long mountain ascent that any car can climb. smoothly, through deep sand or mud. You can throttle it down to three miles an hour in congested-traffic and step away like a flash from less lively cars. Its flexibility is not surpassed. The Chandler motor never overheats, no matter how hot the day, how hard the pull or how fast the speed.
