A new angle of interference that proved the most sensational of the many that have caused the cases to continue along, some of which for nearly two years, was brought to light, when Judge Robert 1. Hardison stated in the trial of Willlam Cleve- land Tallant, at one time head of the bell boys at thg New Willard, that he had received ntimerous communi- cations from United States senators asking that the charges against Tal- lant be continued or dropped. Says Practice Must Go. “The United States senators,” Judge Hardison stated, “have no right what- ever to interfere in the trial of cases in this courthouse. I will not stand for it and they might as well know now as ever. This practice must stop and I will personally see that it does.” Tallant was fined $100 upen his con- viction, and a jail sentence of ninety days was suspended, the defendant being put on probation for one year. William Jones, charged with book- making, mef the same fate at the hands of the court. . Similar charges against John W. Robeson, John Clarkson, Lewis C. Jenkins, Michael J. Lyons, Clarence L. L'ule and George Matrachas were con- tinued, the first two until next Sat- urday. Charges against Harry A. Bush and John Pyles were also set for today, but had not come up at 1 o'clock this afternoon. A charge against Ross T. Mann will be heard Saturday. Policemen figuring - in the above cases are Mumper, Messer, Fowler and Sweeney. URGED AS MEMORIAL. Creation of Roosevelt-Sequoia Na- tional Park, in southern California, as a recreation center for American tourists was strongly urged before the House committee on public lands yesterday. The proposed park would include 1,100 square miles and is known as “The Little Switzerland of America.” Of the fourteen peaks of 14,000 elevation and over in this coun- try ten are included in the proposed park area. The chief heretofore raised against the bill by the city of Los Angeles and other interests in Callfornia, as being a_possible bar- rier to the commercial development of certain areas within the proposed park, were withdrawn. The question of boundaries was also sattled. Resolutions from various business and civic organfzations in California urging the establishment of the park were introduced by Representative Henry E. Barbour of Fresno, Calif. Col. William Boyce Thompson, presi- dent of the Roosevelt Memorial Asso- clation, indorsed the bill creating the park as “a fitting memorial to Amer- ica's foremost exponent of outdoor life and pioneer virtues.” WILL USE CAMP MEADE. Nearly 6,000 troops, composing the entire 1st Army Division and aux- iliary units at Camp Dix, N. J., are to be added to the garrison of about 2,000 men attached to the 3d Corps training center at Camp Meade, Md., next spring. The movement will be accomplish- ed by marching and will be com- pleted by April 15 next. The buildings at Camp Dix are rapidly deteriorating and the termi- nal facilities are declared to be in- adequate. The selection of Camp objection Meade as the permanent home of the! 1st Division is said to be mainly in the interest of economy and efficiency. Camp Dix will be retained in part! as the training center of the 2d iCorps Area and in that capacity will give station to about 2,500 men. Maj. Gen. H. C. Hale will command the forces at Camp Meade, and will be assisted by Briz. Gen. Edgar Rus- sell, commanding the artillery: Brig. Gen. William Weigel, commanding the 1st Infantry Brigade, and Brig. Gen. Willlam S. Graves, commanding the 2d Infantry Brigade. LLOYD GEORGE-CRAIG LETTERS INTENSIFY ULSTER FEELING (Continued from Ninth Page., the withdrawal of the proposal for an all-Ireland parliament. : “The government of morthern Ire- land is fully alive to the difficulties referred to in your communication, but cannot agree that the only way, or “best way, of surmounting these difficulties under the existing circum- stances i{s by conferring jurisdiction over reserved subjects upon a fcom- mon authority. Suggests Another Course. “His majesty’'s ministers assume that the only alternative to such ar- rangement is that, while the status of a dominion should be given southern Ireland, northern Ireland would re- main part of the United Kingdom, with the esseiitial corrollary of rep- resentation in the imperial parlia- ment, and certain financial and other disadvantages which northern Ireland as compared with southern Ireland would suffer under such arrangement are pointed out. : “There is another alternative which his majesty’s ministers do not appear to have considered. It is that reserved powers, instead of being intrusted to a common authority, should be con- ferred on the. governments of south- ern and northern Ireland within the areas of their respective jurisdictions. The principle underlying the act of 1920 was equality of status and pow- ers for the two governments in Ire- land, and this principle should, in the opinion of the government of mnorth- ern Ireland, be observed in the trans- fer of reserved services. “It is true that it might involve northern Ireland, losing her repre- sentation in the imperial parliament, but while northern Ireland would de- plore any lgosening of the tie between Great Britdin and herself, she would regard the loss of representation at Westminister as a less evil than in- clusion in an all-Ireland parliament. “It is realized that if the alternative here suggested were adopted the con- tribution of morthern Ireland, as also southern Ireland, to the cost of im- perial services would be voluntary, as in the case of the overseas dominions. The proved loyalty of northern Ire- land to the British empire is sufficient guarantee that she would not evade this obligation. ® ¢ * “It will be seen therefore that the government of northern Ireland are prepared to accept three out of the four proposals put forward by his majesty’s government. * * * “In conclusioW, the government of northern Ireland desire to express their firm conviction that the time has not yet arrived when the chuse of peace in Ireland, which they fer- vently desire to further by all means in their power, can be promoted by establishing an all-Ireland parlia- ment. Reply by Lloyd George. Premier Lloyd George wrote on No- vember 14: “We have recelved with great Te gret your refusal to enter a confel ence unconditionally. To demand as between two sets of ministers of the crown preliminary limitation on free- dom of discussion is contrary to the spirit of mutual loyalty and co-opera- tion which animates his majesty’s gov- ernments in all parts of the empire. “We regret it the more because yaur counter proposal that southern and northern Ireland should be consituted into two separate dominions is in our judgment indefensible. We are opposed to it in the first place on the ground of broad imperial principle. To create two dominions in Ireland, one of twenty-six and one of six coun- ties, would fundamentally change the existing tem of imperial organiza- T “To demand the same national and in- rnational status for six Irish counties Separately is a proposal we could not reconcile with the empire’s internal and foreign interests. “Your proposal would in our opinion be equally injurious from a domestic standpoint to the British Isles, bota financially and comynercially. ' erec- tion of two systems of national govern- ment in these islands is sufficlently beset with difficulties. * o “The considerations whica I have out- lined make a free interchange of ideas' between us essential, and we sincerely trust that you will not persist in mak- ing preliminary conditions upon matters Sold only at Doran’s Chocolate Shop, 39 H St. N.W.

To enter a conference under such condition would, in our view,~be dishonest, since |} we know that in no circumstances would Ulster accept such a position, Involving permanent subordination to the Sinn Feln. * ¢ » “In your letter of the 10th inst. you indicated an alternative, but have made no mention of the course suggested in our reply. We urge that if you.resolve upon complete fiscal separation of Ire- land from the rest of the United King- dom, the same equality of treatment as between northern and southern Ireland should be maintained in dealing with re- served services as bas been pursued with regard to services already trans- ferred. You now mention various objec- tions to our proposal and suggest that Ulster would be led to economic ruin if she separated from southern Ireland. “You apparently overlook the fact that your proposal to break the fiscal unity of the United Kingdom would involve the fiscal separation of Ulster from Great Britaln, with which 90 per cent of her trade is directly on indi- rectly conducted. Can it be doubted that more harmonious trade relations would result. between Great Britain and Ulster by the control of these matters being in our hands, rather than in the hands of an all-Irish par- diament dominated by the Sinn Fein, which during the last twelve months has enforced a trade boycott against northern Ireland? Currency Proposal Feared. ! “As to the question of currency, we view with grave concern your pro- posal to establish a separate Irish currency. We are confident that com- mercial and banking interests will re- fuse to indorse such a proposal, once they realize its implication. “We concur with the veiw thatsthe creation of new frontiers would_tend to harden into permanence. Why, | then, seek to establish such a fro: tier between Great Britain and Ir land? " If. however, you are deter- | mined upon such a policy, is it not better to grant Ulster the status of @ separate dominion and thus insure a firm, abiding link between northern Ireland and the mother country? “That being granted, we would be most happy to intrust to Great Brit- tain the safeguarding of our common interests in the imperial conference and the league of nations. “Your proposal involved the placing of Ulster under the Sinn Fein, which is an insurmountable difficuity. I desired to be helpful, by pointing out a method by which, {t this concession is to be made to the south and the west, it can also be made to the north without creating the grave results 1 indicated. But you must not argue from that that we in the slightest degree modify our convictions that your proposais embodied in the act | found plan_both for Great Britsin and Ireland. Sums. Up Ulster View. “To sum up, if you force Ulster to leave the United Kingdom against the wishes of her people she desires to left in a position to make her own fiscal ‘and international policy con- form as nearly as possible with the {policy of the mother country and re- tain British traditions, Britigh cur- rency, British ideals and the British anguage, and in this way render the disadvantages entailed by her sepa- ration from Great Britain as slight as its po:al blg." Two Courses Outlined. Concluding the correspondence, Sir James wrote November 20, naming the 23d of that month for their in- terview. Lloyd George, December 5, sent a letter to the Ulster premier, in- closing _the articles of agreement signed by the British and Sinn Fein negotiators and declaring: “There are two alternatives between which the government of northern Ireland are invited to choose. Under the first, re- taining all her existing powers, Ulster will enter the Irish Free State with | such additional guarantees as may be |arranged in conference. ~Under the second alternative she will still retain her present powers, but in respect to all. other matters not already dele- gated to her will share the rights and obligations of Gerat Birtain. In the latter case, however, we should feel unable to defend the existing boun- dary, which must be subject to re- vision on the one side and the other by a boundary commission under the terms of the instrument.” Gives Out Previous Letter. Sir James Craig has sent a telegram to Lloyd George, saying: “In order to maintain the sequence of events it is of the utmost fmportance that my let- ter to you of July 29 should be in- cluded. "I, therefore, am supplying a copy to the press.” The Ulster premier’s letter of that date announces to Mr. Lloyd George that his proposals for an Irish settle- ment have been exhaustively exam- ined by Sir James and his cabine: It proceeds to dilate on Ulster's u abated desire to retain Britfsh citi zenship and to point out the sacr! fices of Ulster, made in agreeing to self-government and the establish- ment of an Ulster parliament, “much against our wish, but in the interests of peace.” —_— From the Sun Dodger.
