" ADJOURN HEARING + ONTRISH AFFAIRS Members of Unofficial U. S. ¢ Commission Hear Two i Witnesses. After hegring testimony presented by Miss Loie Bennett, secretary of the Dublin branch of the Women' Anternational League, and Miss Caro- line M. Townshend ‘- of the Gaelic League, Miss Jane Addams, acting chairman of the unofficial American commission investigating conditions in Ireland, yesterday announced that the hearings would be adjourned In- definitely, ‘subject to a call from the <hair. On resuming the stand at the after- noon session. Miss Bennett told of many attacks that had been made in the vicinity of Dublin on Catholic monasteries and houses of priests. The witness declared that “these outrages are_done solely to foster religious intolerance, if order to suppress in- dustry in Ireland,” and added that the attacks were increasing daily. Declares Unionists Disgusted. Miss Bennett said that she was a Protestant and member of unionist family, but that today the great majority of unionist families in Ireland had become disgusted Wwith the “campaign of blood that is being waged by England. and are daily turning their sympathies to the republican cause.” 3 ‘When questioned by Basil Manley re- garding the published statements that the Dail Eireann was upholding soviet doctrines, and that the Irish people were receiving money from Russia to carry on their fight, the witness ridiculed the “The percentage of extreme SoCi: in Ireland is very small,” she said. r- ®anized labor has no direct representa- tion in the Dail Eireann, and even should a few advocate such policies, they would be overwhelmingly outvoted, as south Ireland is purely agricultural and the farmers are in control. “Accusing us of receiving money from Russia is nothing more than British propaganda. Last month it was Ger- many that supported republicanism in Jreland; today it is Russia. If money is being sent, no one in Ireland has seen it yet.” ‘Witness Presents Letters. The witness presented letters and documents from prominent business men of all sections of Ireland, including Bel- fast and other cities in Ulster, to sup- rt her charges. ’olflu Townshend gave what members of the commission pronounced the most complete statement so far presented re-! ganding the withdrawal by England of ocal grants.

By the Assoclated Press: DDUBLIN, January 21—Eamon de Valera, “president of the Irish repub- lic,” in a message to the Irish people appeals to them to remain steadfast in the republican cause. “Nobody can be base encugh te bar- ter away that for which our noblest have given their lives,” he says, “so, though the moment be dark and the world unheeding, confident of final success, let us face,the new year of the republic ready t6 endure whatever may be necessary to win for those coming after us the priceless boon of a permanent peace and secure liberty in their native land.” The text of the de Valera message, given out on the occasion of the sec- ond anniversary of the assembling of the Dail Eireann, begins: Glnd to Be With Followers. “I am glad to be with you and to greet and congratulate you on this, the second aniversary of the formal confirmation of our nation’s undying desire for ancient independence, the founding of our state on the ascer- tained will of the people and the giv- ing of practical effect in our own re- gard to those rational principles uni- versally accepted during the war as the only basis for a lasting peace be- tween the natiofs. “The faithfulness with which through two terrible years you have stood firm in the face of ruthless re- pression will make ‘the nation shine out as iong as human records endure as a glorious exception in this bad period of the abandonment of ideals and conscienceless betrayal. 5 “Great indeed have been your suf- ferings. For months authentic dis- patches have brought news of the al- most daily assassination of repre- sentative citizens, callous murder and the mutilation of defenseless prison- of flogging and inhuman tortur- of brave men, and even of a boy, condemned to the scaffold because they would not be false to their pa- triotic comrades. They have told of the burning of homes and the looting and destruction of the fruits of your industry, and I knew how heavy the price you were being made to pay for your devotion. .. Praises High Purposes. “But, thank God, though armed bullies in your streets with coward- 1y insolence taunt you with your pow- erlessness, the ancient heroism of your fathers, which enabled them to face undaunted the persecutors of their day, is yours also, and your suf- ferings will serve but to teach you how dearly bought and how precious is the heritage of the nationhood they have passéd on to you to guard. “Thank God that splendid morale which bas made you the wonder of the nations. remains unbroken, and the enemy is once more learning that though with brute force brave men and brave women may be murdered, brute force can never reach the spirit that inspires them. “Your sufferings will surely not be in vain. Surrender of right, which alone could give victory to the usurj er with all his forces and his fright- fulness, he can never compel. Love of country and of freedom will, in your case, as in others, prove superior to the might of his empire, and every drop of patriot blood he sheds will but make for us more sacred the duty of perseverance and more cer- tain its fulfillment. (Signed) “EAMON DE VALERA, “Dublin, Janua¥y 21." 14 KILLED IN IRELAND. Sinn Fein Bulletin Totals Casual- ties for Fifteen Days. LONDON, January 21.—“During the first fifteen days of this year,” says a bulletin just issued by the Sinn Fein, “the armed forces of the Eng- lish government have achieved the following successes: Fourteen civil- ians murdered, including four pri: oners, two children and one woman; thirty-two wounded, including seven women; six towns shot up, farty houses and eleven shops wholly or partially destroyed; seven men tor- tured or flogged, and one creamery, cne factory and two public halls de- stroyed.” - POLICE CHECK AMBUSH. Number of Attacks Take Place, Seven in County Tipperary. DUBLIN, January 21.—Information - |was obtained by the police this morn- ing that an ambush was being pre- pared at the Tolka River bridge on the Drumcondra tram line, two miles from the center of the city. The po- lice surprised the party and fired on the men, wounding one of them and capturing six others 1t is reported from Thurles that po- lice barracks at Holy Cross, Shevrie and Roskean were attacked during the night. All roads leading to these places have been trenched and blocked by trees. The attacking par- ties were repulsed in each instance. The Holy Cross barracks were sub- jected to a heavy fire which was re- turned by the garrison. No casual- ties have been reported. Altogether seven police barracks in County Tipperary were attacked Thursday night. In one case, at Bal- linure, near Killenaule, the attacking party numbered 150. No casualties from this attack have been reported. Armed Sinn Feiners today stopped a fox-hound meet near Cork by firing on the hunters when they refused to obey an order to halt. Nobody was injured, but the hunt was abandoned. After the ambuscade at Glenwood Thursday, armed_forces invaded the village of Six Mil Bridge. Four homes of leading shopkeepers were burned or demolished. Likewise great destruction was wrought on some farms in the neighborhood. —_— READY FOR IRISH FETE.

Foster's classes at the Central High School ‘The exhibit, which went upon the walls Sunday, and will remain for two weeks, 1g the product of fifty Central High School students. The exhibit s open to the public from 10 o'clock each morning to 10 o'clock at night. All the work shown is original, drawn directly from the model, from the imagination or from memory. Pic- tures were used as alds In the land- scape work alone, it 1s explained, the line and valug arrangements belng selected from these, but the illustra- tions are original and the sketches made from nature Designs worked out in one or more color schemes are also original. Afm of Instruction Course. The aim of art work in the pujlic | P schools, it 1s pointed out, is not to make artists of the students, but to bring the art world to their knowl- edge by creating an appreciation of art, by showing the use of art in everyday life, and by studylng its workers and their problems. At the same time the student s helped to measure his own artistic ability and to develop his creative powers The art work represented in the ex- hibit was restricted to elght periods, or six hours a week. ‘The exhibit contains some excellent sketches from life, in- cluding those of children, a Dutch girl and other subjects. Colored designs, some of which would make artistic wall paper of the highest class, are {ncluded in the exhibit. Shadow work has an especlally large place In the exhibit. Ome of The most attractive specimens of this use of the pencil is that of the bust of a smiliug child. Tea pots. jugs and vases are de- icted, the shadows and high lights be- [rg especially wll done. Vtility as Well as Art a Factor. colored posters, made for the vm activities of high school student Iifa, show that utllity &s well as art was a factor in some of the work. The ters were made for the Central Bank of the high school, for the various luncheon sales, to boost the Review, the high school publication, and various high school plays given from time to time. In the House and Senate Proposals of the Farmers’ National Council that appropriations for the Army and Navy be cut in half and thé money saved utilized in establishing agricul- tural credits abroad were indorsed yes- terday by Jane Addams of Chicago, ap- pearing before the Senate Banking com- mittee. Henry Ford's net gain over Senator Neéwberry in_their Michigan senatorial contest was 2,009 votes at the close of work yesterday by the Senate privileges and elections committee, with 1,402 of the 2,232 state precincts recanvassed. Senator Newberry’s plurality was about 7,500, and the heavier voting precincts still remained to be recounted. Information regarding disposition of surplus Army supplies, including past sale prices and amounts remaining, is sought from the War Department, under a resolution by Senator King, democrat, Utah, adopted by the Senate. Information regarding imprison- ment of Estrada Cabrea, overthrown president of Guatemala, was trans- mitted to the Senate yesterday by President Wilson in response to a resolution of inquiry_introduced re- cently by Senator Moses of New Hampshire, a_republican member of the foreign relations committee. Fifteen members of the House, who are to attend the funeral services to- morrow in Savannah. Mo., for Repre- sentative Charles F. Booher, left Washington last night.

The decisive vote of the House to 1imit the size to 435 in the reappor- tionment has started another contest —_how the apportionment shall be de. ml'irhe method by which the House census committee in preparing the re- apportionment bill decided that with the House membership remaining at 435 eleven states would gain and elght states would lose in representa- tion was worked_ out by Dr. Walter F. Wilcox of Cornell University. Dr. E. V. Huntington, professor of mechanics at Harvard University, has presented to the committes his “im- proved method of reapportionment” which he urged should be used in- stead of the Wilcox or major fraction plan. The Huntington plan would take one member away from each of the states of New York, North Caro- lina and Virginia. and give them to New Mexico, Rhode Island and Ver- mont. A real infant industry—still in the nursery stage—is eeeking the pater- nal care of House tariff builders. The case also involved a reformed indus- trial character now trying to lead a blameless life—a former brewery. It was presented to the ways and means committee by A. G. Hupfel of New York, who said he operated a mushroom nursery in the former brewery vats of a plant in the heart of New York city. Hupfel said he felt he ‘was entitled to seek tariff protection for his infant industry against for- eign mushrooms. He left the duty to the committee to figure out.

Gray Silver, representing the Amer- ican Farm Bureau Federation, with a membership estimated by its officers at 1,500,000, said the total Washing- ton expgmnse last year was around $30,000, While the federation's income was $750,000.

While some of the administration officials were undertaking today to paint a gloomy picture of what was to happen to the government ma- chinery if the republican Senate con- tinues to refuse to confirm most of the 20,000 nominations made by Presi- dent Wilson, the republican leaders took no such view of the situation. The republicans pointed out that if there were important jobs to be fllled, which would become vacant auto- matically at_the close of the present Congress and administration, March 4, there was no reason why there should be a long delay in filling these posi- tions. There s nothing to prevent President-elect Harding from giving consideration to the positions to be filled between now and March 4. The Senate will meet in special ses- sion immediately after the inaugura- tion of the new administration, for the purpose of acting upon nomina- tions. If Mr. Harding had his list of appointments ready, there’ would be no reason why they should mot be sent in and acted upon With compara- tively little delay. The prospective vacancies include all seven members of the Shipping Board, two members of the Interstate Commerce Commission, three chiet of- ficlals in ‘the patent office and flve assistant secretaries of the Treasury. Then, too, there are many post- masters, federal judges, marshals, fed- eral attorneys, registers of land offices and the like over the country who are in the same position. Some of these are classed s emergency cases and the republican leaders have in- dicated that where thére is found to be an emergency. action’ will be taken. D. C. VOTE TO BE TOPIC.

Barry Farm Association Asks for Relief From Commissioners. At a meeting of the Barry Farm Citizens’ Association, held last night at the Methodist Church in Anacostia, sev- eral subjects were discussed relative to the betterment of the community. 1t was decided to have a committee go before the Engineer Commissioner to bring to his attention the bad condition of the roa in Barry Farm, and to ask for some relief in the matter. J. T. Blount, N. Taliferro and U. J. Banks were appointed on this committee. It was also voted the assoclation at- tend a public meeting to be held at the Birney School, when Dr. Frank lou, superintendent of schools, will speak. ¢ 26 ELECTED “NATIVES” AT MEETING OF SOCIETY Resolutions of Gratefulness to Sen- ate for Adopting 50-50 Plan. The Soclety of Natives of the Dis- trict of Columbia; at its January meeting last evening in the board- room of the District building, admit- ted twenty-six additional ‘natives” to membership. Methods of material- ly increasing the numerical strength of the organization were discussed. Definite steps were taken to secure a permanent place for meetings, and a committee was instructed to in- vestigate and report thereon at the February meeting. A resolution in- troduced by John ~Clagett Proctor was adopted setting forth that the soclety “feels grateful to the Sen- ate committee on the District of Co- lumbia for including in the District appropriation bill the half-and-half clause,” and urging the Senate com- mitted, as “defenders of a defense- less, powerless, voteless people, to ingist thgt this feature be retalned in the bill as finally agreed on by the conferees and accepted by Con- gress, as, in all fairness, it should e.” Mrs. Myra Hendley, second vice president, made a stirring appeal to the members of the society to sup- port the movement to secure repre- sentation in Congress for the Dis- | trict of Columbia. i A vote of thanks was given the As- sociation of Oldest Inhabitants of the District of Columbia for courtesies and hospitality extended to the So- clety of Natives when the latter or- ganization was the guest of the Old- est Inhabitants last month. TO MAKE TOYS FROM CANS. Course Proposed at M Street Junjor High School. Tin-can toy making will be intro- duced at the M Street Junior High School at the beginning of the next *semester, February 1, according to Miss Lucy D. Slowe, principal. The making of these toys, it is believed, will give boys opportunity for un- limited originality, for there is no fear of sepoiling material, since tin cans are 80 plentiful. It was pointed out by Miss Slowe that the manual training departments in public schools of Boston and New York have found tin-can toy making not only valuable from the viewpoint of interest, but also valuable as a forerunner of sheet metal work. This branch of manual training, Miss Slowe sald, is especially valuable at this time, for there is little money for the purchase of materials, and none for the equipment of shops in the junior high school. Much of the wood work- ing equipment, she stated, can be con- verted to use for this work, and the boys get a chance to handle some material other than wood. It is the plan of Miss Slowe to have an exhibition of the articles made from discarded tin cans at the close of the school year. —_— WANTS UNITED AMERICA, A united America means an influ- ential America, according to Dr. L.

'So great have been the crowds at the show that, following a conference be- tween Stephen E. Kramer, assistant superintendent; Miss A. M. Goding, principal of Wilson Normal School, and Mra Susan 8. Alburtis of the na- ture study department, which is put- ting on the exhibition, the two extra days have been added to the schedule. Mr. Kramer said today that schools that had not yet seen the exhibition would be given hourly schedules to accommodate all the children. The public is asked to continue going in the evening. Last night Mrs. Alburtis estim: 4,000 people saw the exhibition, and one of the most interested spectators was Senator N. B. Dial, who said: “This exhibition is certainly a reve- latio.: to me and the public should certainly see what the youngsters in ‘Washington schools can do in the way of making things. When I look at these sets of furniture, these bird houses with their blue ribbons from the American Forestry Assoclation, ax handles, bookshelves and rail fences in minature, I am quite free to say that this creative work on the part of eighth grade pupils and even lower is the kind of thing that makes for the best sort of citizenship later on. Everything in each division shows study of the subject and the schools are to be congratulated.” Votes from Evening Star ballots for the national tree have been com- ing in from many sections of the country. One was received for the oak from Mrs. George W. Helig, St. Petersburg, Fla.; one for the sugar maple from Martha Hopkins, Cinci- nnati, hio; one for the oak from Mrs. William McElveen, New York city; another for the oak from Ralph Hayes, Cleveland Ohio; and one for the elm from Mary Emma Walker, Catawissa, Pa. The Washington vote will be totaled by Monday. ALL-STAR PERFORMANCE DRAWS LARGE AUDIENCE Notable Gathering at Theater En- tertainment for Benefit of Eu- ropean Relief Fund. A notable and large audience gath- ered at the Belasco Theater yester- day afternoon to enjoy the all-star benefit performance, given by head- liners from all the local theaters and arranged for the benefit of the local financial campaign for the European relief council. Features of the event were the ar- tistic treat contributed by Mme. Mat- zenauer, contralto, given prior to her appearance _recital at Poli's; the drollery of Ed Wynn, head of the Ed Wynn Carnival, playing at the Na- tional, who acted as master of cere- monies and had unusual opportunities for the display of his native humor, and the character stories of Ben Welch, principal funmaker in the “Jimmie" company. Although stricken blind since the beginning of his en- gagement here, both Welch's opti- mism and his power to amuse seemed unimpaired by his afliction and his hearers gave him a round of curtain calls.

SAYS AMERICANS STOOD AS ROCK AGAINST TRIAL Prof. J. B. Scott Lauds Commis- sion for Opposing Arraignment of Ex-Kaiser on Legal Charge. PHILADELPHIA, January 22—The American commission to mnegotiate peace rendered a service to the world at large in standing as a rock against the trial of Willlam Hohenzollern, former Emperor of Germany, for a legal offense, and Holland has made the world its debtor by refusing to surrender the former kaiser for the commission of an offense admittedly political. ‘This was the conclusion reached last night by Prof. James Brown Scott, former ‘counselor of the State De- partment and adviser on international law of the peace conference, in an ad- dress before the Philadelphia Public Ledger forum on the peace confer- ence. Recalling the demands made upon Holland to deliver the former kaiser, he said: “Holland did not want the fugitive, but the rules of hospitality required that he should not be handed over.” Comparing the flight of William Hohenzollern with the abdication and subsequent surrender to his enemies of Napoleon Honaparte, the speaker said: “How much better it would have been for the world if royal fugitives had always escaped, and had not been so stupid as to fall into the hands of their enemies.” While admitting that the cases of German officers charged with viola- tions of the laws and customs of war differed from that of the former kai- ser, the speaker pointed out the many difficulties in the path of those who seek to bring them to trial. Mr. Scott read a resolution said never to have been published, which was drawn up by former Secretary of State Lansing. and which contained a sweeping indictment of the kaiser. It was presented to the committee on re- sponsibilities, the speaker said, and received “with good will” until it was discovered that it contained no pro- vision for a spectacular trial. It then died in committee. SECOND SEMESTER PLANS. Arrangements for Reorganizing Public Schools Under Way. | Final plans for reorganizi public_school system for.ihe mccord semester, which begins February 1, bave been started by school author: ities. Problems relative to reliove ing overcrowded conditions have ten- tatively been solved, and the atten- tion of officials now will be devoted to the appointment of additional teachers, reassignment of teachers and the rearrangement of study courses. According to figures compiled to- day, twenty additional teachers will be appointed to handlé the new classes to be organized for the next semester. Fourteen of them will be assigned to the elementary schools and the remaining six to the high schools, In arrapging to care for the addi- tional overloaded classes expected to develop in February, officials have de- | cided to extend the operation of the two-shift system in many of the schools.

Office, 1418 H st. 2. w.—Advertise- ment, A ) SOUTHERN YALE MENWILL BE WELCOMED IN MAY Washington Alumni at Banquet Decide to Actively Begin Prep- arations for Big Gathering. Determination to proceed actively with plans for the great meeting of Southern Yale men here in May was reached at the luncheon of the Yale Alumni Assoclation of Washington held at the University Club yesterday. This decision was agreed to after Minot Osborne reported on his trip through the =outhern states, where he found Yale men everywhere en- thusiastic over the idea of meeting at the National Capital. Benedict Crowell, assistant secre- tary of war, was nounced as gen- eral chairman of the commfittees in charge of the gathering of the AsSo- ciated Southern Yale Club as guests DX‘( the local alumini of Yale Univer- sity. Mr. Crowell, in a brief address. spoke with great enthusiasm concerning the meeting and predicted that it will be a great success, with the support of Yale men here and the various com- mittees. W.

Miller, banquet; Thomas Shearman, ente: tainment; Newbold Noyes, publicity; Willlam B. Hall, attendance, and John Hays Hammond, finance. Chairmen will proceed to appoint- ment of their committees at once. Ef- forts will be made to get as many as possible of the 2,000 Yale gradu- ates in the southern states to attend the meeting, irrespective of their affi- liations with organized Yale alumni clubs. It seemed to be the sentiment of those present that although only southern Yale men will be invited officially, graduates of the university from all cities will be welcomed. HOLDS LIQUOR SEIZURE WRIT MUST BE SPECIFIC Stock Taken Under Defective War- rant Cinnot Be Held as Evi- dence, Says Judge. Liquors seized by federal prohibi- tion officers under defective search warrants cannot be held as cvidence 'was the purport of a decision made by Judge Hardison in_the United States branch of the Police Court yesterday, when a motion was made for the return of liquor seized several weeks ago from Merett Wilson. Rul- ing on the return of the seized liquor has been taken under consideration by the court. Ralph Given, assistant United States attorney, asked Judge Hardison to state wherein the search warrants were defective, to which the judge replied: “Of course, the names specif- ically stating the brand of liguor and quantity cannot easily be given, but 1 do contend that an officer making out a request for a search warrant must state the cause for its issuance and proper affidavits must be made to that effect, and followink the seizure proper return must be made on the warrant.” Judge Hardison placed particular stress on the fact that search war- rants under the Volstead law must comply with regulations regarding search and seizure under the espion- age act, and everything must be done to prevent the violation of the rights of a citizen in his home. Previous rulings on the return of liquor were returned in favor of the defendant, as in those cases the name on the search warrant was not the same name as the name of the man whose property was seized. TRADE BANQUET TONIGHT; Final Rehearsals Held for Features of Program. Everything is in readiness for the big midwinter banquet tonight of the membership committee of the Wash- ington Board of Trade.

Waters plans to make tonight’s affair the best thing of its kind Washington has ever seen. - Dinner will start promptly at 7:30 o'clock, and woe be the unfortunate member who strolls into the big ball- room of the New Willard' after that time. Appropriate punishment will be meted out to the offender, accord- ing to Mr. Waters, who states that everything has been arranged with clocklike precision, and any one who is late is liable to miss some of the sterling acts on the program, besides causing confusion in the seating cf the guests. New York, Philadelphia and other large cities have been scoured for talent for the dinner, and many new and novel features are promised. All the tickets for the affair have been disposed of with 100 disappointed members unable to get accommoda- tions. WOMAN SUFFERS INJURY. Thrown From Buggy When Horse Runs Away—Other Accidents.

T0 PRESS FIGHT FOR REPRESENTATION Chamber of Commerce to Show D. C. Unity to Con- gress at Meeting. To impress upon Congress that the District of Columbia stands united on thethe subject of national representa- tion, the Washington Chamber of Commerce “has designated {ts next monthly meeting, February 8, as na- tional representation night. Prior to the meeting of the board of directors of the chamber last night in the Hom- er building, the February meeting was to be devoted to the “Great Falls project” of supplying electricity for the city from the falls of the upper Potomac, but on account of the in- tense feeling on the suMjsct of na- tional representation it was decided to defer the water power night until some later date. Prominent local advocates of na- tional representation for Washington, including Theodore W. Noyes, chair- man, and Henry B. F. Macfarland, member, of the joint citizens’ com- mittee for the District, will be asked to speak. It is also thought probable that members of Congress who are in favor of the movement will be asked to attend the meeting and speak on the subject. Officers for the ensuing year were elected as follows: Arthur E. Sey- mour, secretary; Ralph W. Lee, treas- urer, and Chapin Brown, general counsel. These officers were appoint- ed by unanimous vote. James T. Lloyd was renamed as national coun- cllor to represent the chamber in the United States Chamber of Commerce. As a former president of the or- ganization William F. Gude becomes a permanent member of the board of directors, under the ament to the constitution adopted at the last meeting of the chamber. His place upon the regular board list becomes’ vacant. B. A. Bowles wis elected to fill the vacancy on the regular list. A luncheon will be given for the visiting officials of the Society of American Florists and Ornamentat Horticultugsists at the Willard, Janu- ary 24, at 12:30 o'clock, the boacd de- cided. ‘The hpard of directors also author- ized the purchase of 5,000 additionui copies of the booklet, “Washington, the Nation’s Capital.” —_— QUITS CHAPLAIN RACE. Miss Clara Morgan, pastor of church in Perry, N. Y., who had an nounced herself a candidate for chap- lain of the House to succeed Henry M. Couden, has withdrawn from the contest. Miss Morgan has notified Representative Archer Sanders, who was handling her application, that she cannot afford to come to Wash- ington on the salary of $1.200 which is paid the chaplain. Mr. Couden re- ceived a salary of $1,500, but the ex- tra amount was paid him e e was a victim of the civil war. The regular salary is fixed ‘at $1.200, in view of the fact that a Washington pastor can hold the position besides his regular parish duties.
