IRISH PARLEY LASTS BUZHOURAND AL British and Sinn Feiners Quickly Adjourn Until 11 0’Clock Tomorrow. CABINET MEETS FIRST Breaches of Truce in Ireland Dis- cussed—Visiting Envoys Again Cheered. By the Associated Press. LONDON, October }3.—The mem- bers of the British cabinet and the Sinn Fein leaders conferring here to- day adjourned at 1:30 o'clock this aft- ernoon, after having been in session only an hour and a half. Arthur Griffith, Sinn Fein foreign Minister and head of the Irish delega- tion, was asked, “When are you com- ing back?" Michael Collins, Sinn Fein financial minister and commande chief of the Irish republican army, interject- ed, “We are not coming back. Mr. Griffith then answered, “We are coming back at 11 o'clock tOmMOrrow. Cabinet Meets First. The conferees convened in the cabi- net room of Premier Lloyd George's official residence on Downing street at than the time noon, an hour later originally set. An early official statement, given out by a _secretary of Mr. Llovd George, said the opening had been de- layed an hour to enable members of the cabinet to have a preliminary conversation. It was understood, however, that the proposed march of unemployed into Downing street to interview Mr. Lloyd George had something to do With the delay, as the commissioner of police was with the cabinet mem- bers at the time originally arranged for the conference. Sinn Feiners Again Cheered. Irish sympathizers gave the Sinn Fein delegates a noisy welcome as they entered Downing street promptly on the stroke of noon, and proceeded to recite the rosary, kneeling in the street. i The first subject for discussion was breaches of the truce in Ireland, in- cluding instances of kidnaping by the Sinn Fein. Although the British government since the truce has not arrested any one in Ireland for po- there have been sev- ases of kidnaping by the Sinn Fein, those kidnaped in- cluding a legal official. It is expected here that the kidnaped men will be relased, although the Sinn Fein s most of them were offenders st the ordinary law. Ask Better Care of Prisoners. On their part, the Sinn Feiners are endeavoring to secure better treat- ment for 3,500 of their number in in- ternment. They do not demand the release of the internees, the Sinn Fein publicity depart- ment saving their claim is only for prisoners-of-war_treatment of those in- terned, improved medical assistance for the sick and for paroles in cases of ill- ness in the men’s families. A W. Cope, assistant undersecretary for Ireland, who came here from Dublin to advise the Irish cabinet members, was con- sulted by them regarding this at the previous conference. In reply to the Sinn Fein protest against publication of the proceedings of the conference beyond what is con- tained in the agreed communique, the government has promised to institute an fnquiry. It is not expected, however, that secrecy can be maintained when the house of commons goes into session.next week. An official bulletin says the conference adjourned until 11 o'clock Friday morn- ing. The appointment yesterday of Lionel Curtis as one of the chief secretaries on the government side, having a position similar to that of John Chartres on the Irish side, was taken to indicate that the government approach toward a settle- ment will follow the lines indicated by cral alleg Mayor and Governor In Baltimore Fight To Honor Columbus BALTIMORE, Md., October 13. —City state clashed yes- terday e feet of Columbus in Druid Hill Park, when rival Italian organisations fought for the place of homor in doing homage to ti jscoverer of America.

CITY IS “GAMBLING MAD,” SAYS REPRESENTATIVE d the House Passes Bill Aimed at Papers Printing the Racing 0Odds. The National Capital is “gambling mad,” Representative Joseph Walsh, republican, of Massachusetts declared in supporting a measure, which the House passed yesterday, prohibiting transmission through the mails of inewspapers publishing betting odds on horse races, prize fights and “other contests of speed strength or skill.” The House passed the bill without a r?ll call and it now goes to the Sen- ate. As introduced by Representative Ramseyer, republican, Iowa, the bill was designed to further tighten the postal lJaws to exclude fraudulent de- vices and lottery paraphernalia from the mails. Representative Walsb of- fered the amendment, which was adopted by a viva voce vote, to extend the to newspapers and “dope sheet: which quote betting odds. Imprisonment of not more than five years or a flne of not more than $5.000 would be provided for publish- ers viclating the law. ‘Washington, declared Mr. Walsh, is “gambl’ng mad,” with betting going on “even within the confines of the Capitol grounds.” Representative Stevenson, demo- crat, South Carolina, suggested that it might be well to prohibit “bookles™ {from circulating daily among clerks lhn government departments, soliciting ets. Representative Snyder, republican, New York, declared ‘“practically ev- ery member of the House” had bet on the races. “There may be some men here in the House,” he added, “who have some bones In their Pockets wiili s,. them.” ‘There were about 100 members of the House on the floor when the Walsh amendment and the bill were approved, —_ OFFICERS AT HEARING. Advocate Bill for Reinstatement of Midshipmen. Secretary Denby and Rear Admiral Wilson, superintendent of the Naval Academy, appeared before the House naval committee yesterday to urge passage of a bill which would au- thorize reinstatement of midshipmen who were obliged to resign during the last academic year because of de- ficiencies in_thelr studies. {Gen. Jan Christian Smuts, the South African premier. Expert on Government. Mr. Curtis, who is considered a great authority on the imperial federation, took 2 prominent part in the framing of the South African constitution. He has spent much time in Ireland, his wife being an Irishwoman. His joint secretary, Thomas Jones, has had experience in Ireland as professor of economics in Queen’s University at Belfast. These two, with Erskine Childers and Mr. Chartres, both of whom served the British with distinction during ¢he war, will be present at all sessions of the conference. 1106 G St. \ THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. O, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 13, 1921.° MAL POTTER HURT | DURING POLO GANE War Department Team Beats -Artillery in Exciting * Overtime Contest. Squaring the count in the last period of a scheduled six-period game just before Maj. Potter, its crack No. 2, went down in a crash in front of the red-goal | post, the War Department Green polo team overcame an eight-goal handicap granted the Field Artillery Recs from Fort Myer yesterday and won on a goal by Maj. Montgomery in the extra period needed to decide the winner. The final score of the overtime game was 9 to § in favor of the War Department Greens. Two Majors Thrown. Maj. Potter, who had proved a tower of strength on defense and a whirlwind on offensc, seriously sprained his left arm in the crash just before the end of the sixth period, when the score was tied at 8 all, and the powerful Green team was fighting in front of the Red goal posts for the score that would win the game. In a melee in front of the Red goal the horses of Majs, Potter and George came together and both went to the ground. Maj. George rose quickly, but Maj. Potter stayed down. Examina- tion by an Army physician disclosed a badly injured wrist, and the player will probably be lost to the War Department team for the remainder of The Star cup series. Maj. George was uninjured. The period ended with the injury to Maj. Potter and the score § all. Maj. Blunt, crack member of the Free- booters team was recruited from the side lines, and donning Maj. Potter's shirt rode forth in_ his place in the extra period. The ball was knocked from the side of the Red goal, and Maj. Blunt was instrumental in plac- ing it in front of the goal posts, from which position the decisive score was registered by Maj. Montgomery two minutes after the start of the extra period. Artillery Outplayed. War Department so outplayed its opponents that the Red team, com- posed of crack players from the 3d Field Artillery, was unable to score at all, and the big Green team scored its last goal needed to tie the 8-point handicap conceded its opponents on a goal by Maj. Groninger just before the close of the sixth period. Maj. Montgomery, captain of the Greens, as in the final of the Post cup serles, played Monday. was the mainstay of his team on offense and defense.

PARIS, October 13.—Marshal Foch would be compelled to travel more than 20,000 miles and visit nearly every state in the American Union if he should accept all the invitations he has received from the United States since it was announced that he would cross the Atlantic this fall. Friends who call upon the marshal are shown a stack of invitations more than a foot thick which he has re- ceived. There are hundreds of them, including greetings from governors of vdrious states, mayors of many cities, public bodies of every sort and private messages from prominent residents of the United States. i “Which of them will you accept? an American visitor asked the mar- shal recently. “All of them,” the replied, “and I would like to visit every state in the Union.” It has been impossible to fix the marshal's itinerary, which thus far includes_a trip across the continent to San Francisco. The marshal's only apprehension as to the hospitality of the American people is the possible effect it may have upon his digestion. Remember- REW MATERIALS SEIZED BY RAIDERS Revenue Agents and Police Start Crusade Against Sale of Utensils. Internal revenue agents and the po- lice yesterday afternoon started a crusade in an effort to prevent the sale of products and utensils used in the making of home brew. Revenue Agents Evans and Whitehead, with bolice assistance, made three ralds. Quantities of malt, caramel color- ing, filter bags, sinkers, clamps, stem testers, cappers and hops were seized, and at one pla 919 D street, it is charged, eight ses of home brew also were seized. Provisions of Law. The raids were made under the pro- visions of section 18 of the prohibi- tion enforcement act, which provides: ‘It shall be unlawful to advertise, manufacture, sell or possess for sale any utensil, contrivance, machine, preparation, compound, tablet, sub- stance, formula direction or recipe \dvertised, assigned or intended for use in the unlawful manufacture of ntoxicating liquor. At 919 D street. where no arrest was made, Capt. Brown of the first precinct and mem! s of Commis- sioner Oyster's “flying squadron” seized property reported in the police list as 476 cases and 146 cans of malt, 8 cases of home brew, 8 jars, 99 cap- pers, 51 stem testers. 55 bottles of caramel colorings, 288 sinkers and clamps, 39 cases of hops and 10 fliter ags. Louis Hurivitz and Jacob Baynagd, 1002 Pennsylvamia avenue, ‘were re- quired to give bond in the sum of $1.000 to answer before United States Commissioner Isaac R. Hitt for an al- leged violation of the law. Quanti- tles of cappers, crowns, hops, malt and filter bags were seize Police of the eighth precinct accom- panied the revenue agents to the place of business of the National Malt Company, 2008 1ith street, where a large quantity of stock was seized. The property was taken to the offjce of the internal revenue bureau. No arrest was made, the police reported. ing the condition in which Marshal Fayolle returned from his visit to America, Marshal Foch frequently murmurs: “Poor Fayolle.” The generalissimo of the allled ar- mies s still amused over Marshal Fayolle's pleasantry when the chair- man of, theentertainment® committee in Boston showed him upon his ar- rival late one evening the program for the day following. It began in the early morning with a sightseeing tour; then foilowed a reception of delegations, a midday banquet and speeches and then an afternoon re- ception. A public dinner and recep- tion was scheduled for the evening and this was to be followed by a ball. “What do you think of it?" the chairman_is reported to have asked the marshal. “It lacks something.” replied the marshal. “I see nothing regarding my funeral arrangements at the end of the day.” It might be remarked that Marshal Foch is abstemious in his daily life, his habits being almost ascetic in character. Col. Francls E. Drake, deputy com- mander of Paris Post, American Le- gion, will accompany Marshal Foch to America, at the latter's request. FLAY.C. C.POWER IN RAILROAD CASES State Commissions Demand ‘That Congress Amend Esch-Cummins Act. By the Associated Press. ATLANTA, October 13.—That the state railroad commissioners of the United States, through their national assoclation of railway and utilities commissioners now meeting here in annual convention, present to Con- gress an organized demand for speedy amendment of the Esch-Cummins act in such a manner as to preserve be- yond dispute the right of the states to regulate transportation charges within their borders, was recom- mended to the association by its com- mitte on state and federal legisla- tion, made public today. Oppose 1. C. C. Authority. The committee on litigation in a separate report had cited an array of decisions by the Interstate Commerce Commission “completely destroying” the right of the states to regulate state rates, and had recommended a lcontinuance of resistance in the courts against such extension of fed- eral authority. In its report the legislative com- mitte asserted that members of both branches of Congress, including the authors of the act, “have repeatedly declared it was not the intention of Congress to deprive the states of any of their prerogatives,” and yet the report says the act has been con- strued by the Interstate Commerce Commission, and by the lower federal courts, in such a manner as to “de- stroy state regulation.” *“At least a dozen state legislatures.” the report continued, resolurions demanding thnt Congress amend the Esch-Cummins act so as to preserve to the states the regula- tion of their internal affairs. The American Farm Bureau Federation, together with a number of, other farm organizations and dozens of business associations, have passed resoluticns of the nature.” If the Interstate Commerce Commis- slon’s ifnterpretatfon of the Esch- “have passed, HOWAT IS REMOVED AS MINER OFFICIAL John L. Lewis Summarily Discharges Him and All District Officers. By the Assoclated Press. PITTSBURG, Kansas, October 13.— The Kansas district of the United Mine Wogkers of America has been suspend- ed by John L. Lewis, international president, it was announced today. Alexander Howat and all other district officers are summarily removed, and George L. Peck, until the district's suspension the international board member, has been appointed acting president of a provisional district. “All loyal miners of the district will recognize the provisional district offi- cials,” Lewis declares in a message announcing the suspension. Peck, in a statement #his morning, declared that the miners must go back to work at once. He announced that he would take clarge of the district Leadquarters today. Opposed to Howat. With Peck is named Thomas Har- vey, suspended secretary-treasurer of the’ Kansas district, as provisional secretary-treasurer. Harvey has been opposed to Howat in_the Kansas union affairs. Peck and Harvey are ordered to take charge of the headquarters, and all records and all money of the Kan- sas organization. Miners Idle Two Weeks. The Kansas miners have been idle for two weeks, or since Howat and August Dorchy, the district vice pres- ident, went to jail at Columbus to serve a six-month sentence for viola- ;lun of the Kansas industrial court aw. The cause of the action of Lewis, however, in suspending the district s based upon the refusal of Howat and his district board to put back at work miners called out on strike at the Dean and Reliance mines last spring. The international organizaiton holds that the strikes were in violation of agreements with the operators, and the international board ordered How- at to order the men back to work. Howat refused to do so. The recent international convention at Indianap- olis sustained the action of the | ternational officers, but Howat still refused to order the men to return to work. ——— POSTAL SAY!NGS DROP. ‘Washington Stands Thirty-Third in Nation on Deposits. ‘The Washington post office stood thirty-third in the national list for total deposits in the United States postal savings October 1, having de- posits of $415744.
