AGAINSTD. H. BLAIR Senate Committee Starts Inquiry Over Nominee for Internal Revenue Head. The nomination of David H. Blair erI North Carolina to be internal revnnuel commissioner was considered today by the Senate finance committee, in connection with the charges made against Mr. Blair by Senator Johnson of California. After hearing evidence on both sides the committee adjourned without ac- tion, to resume the inquiry Thursday. John W.

He told the committee that the pri- maries were held in North Carolina just before the convention met, and that while Senator Johnson undoubt- edly received a majority of the votes cast. the North Carolina delegation to the convention never received any official notification of the result. The delegates had previously been in- structed by the state convention to support Judge Pritchard until it ap- peared that he could not be nomi- nated. Tn connection with the charges that !

Reports Are Conmfiicting. Reports as to the curtailment of ship sailings continued to be conflicting.

Platt of Philadelphia, speak- ing before the Washington section of the Society of Automotive Engineers. Mr. Platt showed mathematically and by test results that leakage through the gap of a piston ring was of no im- portance. The important point for con- sideration. he said, was to have the ring fit the cylinder perfectly, as most leak- age occurred by the gas passing be- tween the ring and the cylinder wall. A new method of fighting fire, which has been proven very successful in oil refineries and similar plants, was described by John A. Allen of New York. This method consists of spray- ing over the fire a foamlike compound consisting of chemicals which form a sticky lather of bubbles containing a gas which extinguishes the fire. SCHOOL COURSE PLANS.

May 6.—It has been learned from a high authority that Sir James Craig in his conversation with de Valera gave de Valera ta understand in unmistakable terms that under no circumstances would Ulster ever entertain the idea of as- senting to or participating in an Irish republic. The language of Sir James on this point, it was declared, was as decisive and emphatic as anything Premier Lloyd George has said on the same¢ subject and hence no progrese was possible either with the premter or the people of Ulster along the lines of the Sinn Fein's present policy. It was added that it might definit ly be stated that the negotiations are at an end ualess the Sinn Fein makes a new move on a different line from that adopted at the conference. Relterates Opposition. Speaking at Holywood, a suburb of Belfast, Sir James Craig, in referring to his conference with de Valera, | said: i “I only hope that the expectationt |of immediate peace may not be too Ihigh, either across the channel or there. The first step in a matter of i this sort is always difficult, but I do |not believe a big man could refuse ta {take the first step, or that a man is big if he refuses to take such a step when so much is at stake.” Sir James réiterated that neither ha nor any Ulster loyalist would consent {to a republic or any weakening of the ties between Ulster and Great Britain. Nothing had been surrendered or would be surrendered, the speaker declared, and the Sinn Fein knew it. Sinn Feiner Sees Hope. By the Associated Pres DUBLIN, May 7.—A spokesman for the Dail Eireann declined 1o _throw further light on the Craig-de Valera meeting than what already is known. i He directed attention to the phrase iy de Valera's - proclamation concerning devolution in home affairs, however, and intimated that was a basis on which the Sinn Fein was willing to accommodate Ulster’s interests in ne- ! gotiating a settlement of the con- troversy. This spokesman informed the cor- respondent that the Dail Eireann's first condition for peace was a “‘unit- ed Ireland,” with full independence. “Dominion home rule” he termed a misnomer—a view subscribed to by Capt. Henry Harrison, secretary of the Irish Dominion League, who said that in the league’s memorial which is to be submitted to the govern- ment the phrase “Dominion home rule” had been carefully excluded in favor of “a full Dominion status,” which, he added, was quite another thing Would Give Automemy. The Sinn Fein was willing, the spokesman for the Dail Eireann de- ciared, to give Ulster the most com- plete autonomy in home affairs, pro- vided, in the words of de Valera, Ireland was not divided and was & unit with regard to other nations and states. An ambush occurred at Castlebar, County Mayo, yesterday, but the at- tacking party was put to flight, leav- ing two dead. Two of the rebels were made prisoners. OMclal esti- mates of the casualties in Tuesday's ambush at Tourmakady, County Mayo, place the number of Sinn Fein- ers killed at ten and those wounded at ten. Twe Soldiers Shot.
