WILL ACT ON OWN ACCORD STARTING RELIEF PLAN olph Discusses Subject With Robert L. Livingston, Head of Employment Service. Washington will be the first city in the United States to put into effect the emergency recommendations of the ! President’'s unemployment con- ference, in so far as they are applica- ble to conditions in the National Cap- ital. Cuno H. Rudolph, president of the beard of Commissioners of the Dis- trict, said today the conference pro- gram will be laid before the Commis- sioners at their regular board session Tuesday. He expects it to be adopt- ed and made operative immediately. The Commissioners, it was indi- cated. will not wait for an official cemmunication transmitting the con- fercnce action, but on theyr own ac- cor@ will proceed to put the recom- mendations into effect in order that the capital of the nation may set an ample for the cities and municipali- ties of every state along the lines proposed for reducing unemployment. Responsibility on Mayers. Primary responsibility for finding work for the nation's unemployed was placed by the conference on the nayors of cities, and it was proposed that these officials appoint emergency committees to deal with the problems of local situations. Commissioner Rudolph pointed out today that Washington now has a public employment agency, which is doing good work, but the District offi- cial saw no reason why an emergency committee should not be appointed, as suggested by the conference, to co- operate with the existing federal agency. |He will recommend to his colleagues next Tuesday that such a committee be named. The Commissioner discussed the conference plan this morning with TRobert L. Livingston. superintendent the District Public Employment e, which is operated on funds provided jointly by the District and federal governments. Mr. Livingston id he belleved a citizens' co-opera- tive committee could render valuable service at this time. 7,500 Unemployed in District.

Now it is re- versed, but a solution will be found. There is no doubt the people of persons Washington again will give liberally | of their services to relieve a situa- tion which is working a severe hard- ship upon a considerable portion of our population.” Commenting upon the conference recommendation that work be speed- ed on municipal projects already au- thorized and appropriated for, the Commissioner stated this policy has been adopted by the District and is ngw in efect. “But.” he added, “we will make an- other survey of the local work pro- gram, and_if there are any projects which can’ bé pushed faster: without detriment to the District, which will help to relieve local unemployment, an order t ‘speed up' will be given.” Methods for initjating the emer- gency measures adopted by the con- ference were being considered today by Secretary Hoover and executive -pfficers of the conference. ¢ One plan . under consideration was said ‘to contemplate a message to the goyernors of states and the may- ops of all towns with a population of 23,000, or maore setting forth the ac- tien of the conference and asking fm- mediate Co-operation _to put its recommendatigns into effect.

ENGLAND HOPEFUL AS IRSH ACCEPT Bright Prospects for Peace Loom as Conference Is Agreed Upon. By the Associated Press. LONDON, October 1.—England was today filled with hope that a settle- ment of the Irish problem would fol- low the meeting of - Brif cabi- net members and the representatives of Sinn Fein Ireland in this city on October 11. The prompt reply from Eamonn De Valera, accepting Prime Minister Lloyd George's invitation to the conference and the concilatory tone of the latest exchanges between London ,and Dublin seemed to promise that out of the conference would come an agreement which would solve a problem which has proved a stumbling block for the ablest states- men of the British nation. Lloyd George Praised. London newspapers today did not assume that a settlement was cer- tain, and they recognized the way to peace might be long and dificult, but | hope abounded. even if complete con- | | | | | | | fidence was lacking. Prime Minister Lloyd George received pillise in some | quarters for his skill9Md patience |in handling the troublesome prelimi naries, and there was hope expressed that his ability in negotiations would be equal to the task of reconcillation. | Discussing the difficulties the Lon- don Times deprecated the ‘“dominion status” as a fixed formula to which | the agreement must conform. g “The negotiations,” the newspaper declared, “have already disclosed that inasmuch as the idealism of the Sinn | Fein is, above all else, racial.in char- | | acter, the ultimate settlement must | be something new—a constitutional | innovation of its own kind. Both the government and the Sinn Fein should see before them as they go a new | relationship. differing from all their| past experience i JRegnrded Forward Step. - — -~} The Daily Chronicle, which is re- | i garded as very near Mr. Lloyd George,| | said the agreeément to ‘enter the con- | ference was a very big step, because ! it presupposed a wish on both sides ! to reach a settlerent.” i The main danger to peace, in thé opinion of the Daily News, will not lie in the conference chamber, but In conditions in Ireland, and ‘the | newspaper remarked two dangers al- ready evident—the incessant rioting in Belfast and the internment camp. It {8 mot a question how far sto- ries of cruel treatment of interned persons may be true,” the newspaper asserted.- “The point that matters is that they are believed to be true ini| ireland. The mere existence of these camps perpetuates belief. in British tyranny, and if they are not:aban- doned when the conference meets, they will jeopardize the .chance of peace.” - i i 1 1 i } i Irelaud Pleased. The Morning Post, which yesterday described the prime minister's, letter to Mr. De Valera as a *fresh surrender to Irish rebels,” said: ~“Phe question now under discussion | is whether the community of nauon-i known as the British empire is to con- | tinue to exist, and, thanks to the government, even more than to Mr. De. Valera, tlhe question is ‘well op its way to a negative declsion.” Editorial comment today avoided discussion " of how the republican elaims to which the dail eireann is| pledged can be harmonized with Great | Britain’s unbending refusal of inde- | pendence. Reports from Ireland told of universal popular satisfaction with the reception of the invitation to the conference, but it was declared_ the! extremist section of the Sinn Fein! ‘had recentl shown impatience at any suggestion toward the abandon- ! ment of the claim of independence. This section is yet to be heard from, ! and its leaders are asserted to regard r. De Valera's consent to enter the ! confereffce under Mr .Lloyd George's terms as seeming to imply the aban- donment of a treasured ideal. PATIENT FORCES DOCTOR TO DRINK POISON CUP “You've Made Me Take Medicine, Now. Swallow: This,” He Says. MADISON, Fla., October 1.—Pat Sher- lock, a patient at Yates Sanitarium here, an institution for mental defec- | tives, early today seized Dr. Yates and | forced a teacupful of poison down his throat. “You have made me take a lot of medi- cine_and now. you've got to swallow this,” Sherlock, Who is powerful man, said. Before losing consciousness Dr. Yates screamed for help and attendants broke down the door tojthe room, which Sher- lock had locked.! The stomach of Dr. ! Yates was pumped immediately and at- tending physicians several hours later pronounced him out of danger. Sherlock was placed in the county Jail. .

STRONG INFLUENCE SEEN ON WORLD ARMS PARLEY Strained Relations Might Jeopard- ize Effort to Limit Armaments. Believe Danger Removed. BY DAVID LAWRENCE., Although officially the Irish problem is purely a domestic matter, as be- tween Great Britain and Ireland, the fact is the agreement between Prime Minister Lloyd George and Eamonn De Valera to enter into a personal discussion on October 11 of the ques- tions at issue has caused much grati- ficatipn here. For, unquestionably, the settlement of the Irish problem will have a bearing on the relations between the United States and Great Britain at the forthcoming Washington confer- ence. Practically all the major prob- lems, whether they relate to the far east or the limitation of naval arma- ment, turn upon the intimacy of the British and American governments and their readiness to co-operate with one another. An open breach in the Irish question about the time the Washington conference begins would be regarded here as most unfortunate. The prospect of a settlement, on the other hand, creates even more hope- fulness, for the larger gathering here of the great powers. With the removal of the single cloud on Anglo-Amer- ican relations, the Washington gov- ernment will be in a better position to reach an understanding with the British government on matters of world-wide concern. Natlonal Connciousness Tendeney. Incidentally the task of reconciling Ireland’s national aspirations with the association of nations known as the British empire, involves so many points of vital interest to the Unit- ed States that the solution reached will be carefully studied. For in- { stance,.the various dominions of the British empire have, since the war, exhibited a national consciousness which has manifested itself first in a desire to be represented as nations in the assembly of the league of na- tions and. second, in the insistence of | several dominions that the British government should not renew the dAneilu-leA:ze alliance. It is in- eed reported that tbe Capadian pre- mier notified. the nmun'pr)m.e“:h:- ister that if the.Anglo-Japanese alli- am::l ;ru hr:rno;fi. = . consider herxsl¢ bauk “the action, - That's’an" enmbw‘ fal the national aspirations of 'a part of the British empire might conflict with an imperial foreign, policy, and if Great Britain gives to one of her dominions a voice in foreign policy she will be obliged to grant the same privileges to_others, Z Rumors have reached here that Eamonn de Valera will insist upon a national status in the sense of me bership in the assembly of the leagul of nations alongside the other British | i dominions. The whole basis of the discussion between Prime :Minister Lloyd George and Mr. de Valera in- volves. the grant to Ireland ‘of cer- tain opportunities to make her influ- ence: feit in international councils as Hope In Referend: ‘While there is no such thing as a consensus of opinion in officlal quar- ters on such a delicate thing as the Irish problem, a_ dominant view is that Mr. Lloyd George has cleverly renewed the negotiations with the Sinn Fein without causing either side to seem to be surrendering its major demand. Such information as trickles in from reliable sources, however, in- dicates that the British prime min- ister is determined mot to grant ab- solute independence to Ireland and that the Sinn Fein leaders now are convinced their wish will not be granted in the negotiations. The hope of solution lies in_a referendum by the people, who are s0 weary of war- fare that they are:sald to be ready to approve the settlement which the British government Is preparing to offer. The Irish leaders who are committed to ‘national independence may be reluctant to accept, but would, of course, have to bow to the will of the people. The prospects are brighter than ever that the British empire and the United States will | enter the conference here on Novem- ber 11 better friends than they have been in recent months. = (Copyright, 1921.)

Besson.@ssistant en- gineer commissioner, has figured out save approximately $60 a year on the upkeep of his maéhine-if the high- ways of the National Capital were in better condition. ¢ Maj. Besson took 8 cents as the age automobile, and 6,000 miles as the {vaerage distance tfaveled by a mo- torist in a year. The assistant engineer officer be- lieves it is safe o assume that if all of the roads and streets that have worn out were resurfaced, at least 1 cent would be taken off the cost per mile of operating a car. If 6,000 miles a year are covered the motorist penses. " Shorten Lives of (‘lrs. - Maj. Besson said there probably are scores of machine owners who never irealize the part which worn-out roads play in the life of their motdr cars. Every time they go over a hump or hollow ‘in the road the vehicle suf- fers a jar that cuts its life a little shorter. 2 The deputy commissioner declared today that' between two and three million dollars could be spent in put- trict line. I He said, however, he would not| favor asking Congress for so large an amount for street work in one year, because other needed municipal im- provements would have to suffer if two or three millions were allotted to streets. Maj. Besson is hopeful. however, that Congress will increase substan- tially the appropriations for laying new streets and repairing suburban roads. Last year only $144,800 was allowed for new streets. In the new estimates the Commissioners have requested $800,000. ' Fqr several years the fund! for repairing suburban roads has amounted to $250,000. This item should be larger, Maj. Besson thinks. ‘There is another standing appropria- tion of $575,000 for ‘“repairs to streets,” ‘which the major feels is nearer to the flgure it should be than the “suburban road” or “new street” items.
