Dublin, March 2.—Though the Sinn Feiners generally reject the Home Rule Act, their organizatton has not yet officially determined its lime of tactics in relation to it. The chiet mecretary, Sir Homar Gr wood, and the high officials are busy with plans for putting the act into force in the South, and are ex- ploring the pesasibilities of finding candidates who will face the risk of the polls. This compeis Sinn Fein to decide what it will do, and inter- views with well known Sinn Feiners reveal three distinct currents of opin- jon. The largest section, supperted, it is maid, by the authority of De Valera, believes that the act should be com- pletely ignored and that Sinn Fein- rs should neither appear as candi- dates or eéxercise the franchise. A smaller section, seeing that this course might lead to the eloction of & sufficlent number of persons to eonstitute the parMament, think that the Sinn Foiners should contest the meats and, having won most of them, refuse to attend the Dublin parlia- ment. This would put the govern- ment to the necessity of replacing the duly elected representatives of the ecountry by mnominated wmen who would, under the act, have all the powers of the parliament A third, dut very small body of Sinn Feiners are of the opinion that they should not omly secure election but undertake the work of govern- ment In the new parllament, and use the position to extract extended pow- ers. Between these rival views Sinn Fein must shortly decide, and there is no doubt that the eficial decision wil) be obeyed. There is a strong view ameng all seetions of nationalists that the fair- est way for the government to test trish opinfon on the new act would be to submit it by referendum to the whole people. lLeading Sinon Feiners have expressed themselves as quite willing that this course ghould he taken, and are confident that in Southern Ireland the verdict for its rejection would be almost unanimous. REGISTRATION FEE INCREASE OPPOSED Hearings Belore Legislature on Automobile Tax A P Marsh, representing the Truckmen's Bureau of the chamber of commerce, the manufacturers and business men of this city, attended the hearing on the propo: ncrease in automoblle regist on fees at the hall of the house, in Hartford, yes- terday afternoon. The hearing was held before the committess on roads, rivers, and bridges, and finance, and several hundred automobile owners from all parts of the state were pres- ent. The fee would mean the in- crease on registration for pleasure cars as well as trucks. The tax for trucks is as follows: Automobile truck of qne-ton capac- iy, 82 one and oné-half tons, $50; two tons, $65; two and one-half tons, $80; three tons, $150; three and one- halt tons, $200; four tons, $250; four and one-hal?! tons, $300; five tons, $450, and over five tons, $150 per ton or fraction thereof. The greater part of the oppasition came frem truck owners. Several owners of pleasure cars, however, had arguments to present as well. Louis Elmer, who represents the Ford inter- ents in various cities threughout Con- necticut, strongly opposed the bilt clatming that it would squeeze him out of business in the smaller towns. Senator Hrooks delivered a strong blow against the bill, claiming that it the fee is increased. it would place the ton trueks in the background and the horse-drawn vehicle would again come back into prominence and not having to pay a cent for tax The increase is really for funds om rond work. Mr. Marsh of this city, was of the same opinion as Senator Brooks and saw the heavier motor vehicles drivan from the strests and replaced by the slower drawn horse CITY ITEMS BERLINITES OPPOSE GAUGE AT BRIDGE Roads, Rivers and Bridges Com-; mittee Holds Hearings (Special to The Herald) Hartford, March 2.—Judge W. 1| Alling, First Selectman (Jeorge B. Car- ter; James Brown, il. H, Spooner and Representative Francis Deming of the Town of Berlin appeared before the committee on roads, rivers and bridges this afternoon to oppose the | gauge bill which was introduced in the house by Representative Richard Oovert of New Britain. A. P. Marsh | and Flarold Sherman of New Britain appeared in favor of it. Thev were representatives of the New Britain Chamber of Commerce which s claimed to be the organiation sponsor- ing the bill. ! The bill requires that a gauge showing the depth of water in the readway. be placed under the under pass of the N. Y., N. H. and H. rail- road in Kensington. 1t also states that suftable detour signs must be placed and maintained, directing the drivers of vehicles to the overhead bridge a short distance to the south of the under-pass. Also. that the detour be paved with a god perma- nent pavement to a width of not less than eighte¢n feet. The cost of buflding said new bridge. paving. grading, etc., will be borne jointly by the railroad company, the Town or'nnrlln and the State of Connecti- cut. The drainage system now installed under the bridge, it is claimed does not work as It should. One of the Berlin representatives said that the reason the system did not work was because no filters were placed on the top of the catch basins when the sys- tem was installed. As a result a rail- road tie and a large paint can are eaught in the drainage and block the water. When these are removed and the fiiters placed, it was asserted thyre woul@ be no doubt as to the su\;ess of the drainage systemn. The New Britain representativos maid that the eatire system should be abolished aa & is a nuisance, men- ace and disgrace to the state. It was also Drought out that the railroad eompany is not able to pay the de- sired one-third and the state would probably have to take over the lia- bility of that company. At a late hour this afternoon it was said that it was not thought that the bill would pass the committee. Harris Defore Committee. Dr. Jesse Harris of New Britain ap- peared before the committee on pub- lic health and safety. A Dbill was heard which pended for the abolish- ment of cotwpulsory vaccination. GOVT. WORRIES WITH GLARK TO THE END His Last Words Were of Con- ference Report Washington, March 2.—To his last conscious moments, Former Speaker Champ Clark’'s mind was engrossed with memories of his long legislative carecer. Just before he lapsed into finel unconscliousness early today those at his bedside heard him whis- per: ““The guestion is en the adoption of the conferemce report.’” At Mr. Olark's bedside when the end came were Mrs, Clark, their son Bennett Cla their daughter, Mre. James M 1umpson, of New Or- leans. Arrangements for the funeral have | not bLeen completed, but the body | probahly will be sent to the old home in Bowling Green, Mo., where the | former speaker had expected to re- tire after the end of his congressional | service. Mr. Clark presided over the house | throughout the World war, relin- quishing the speakership after eight years when the republicans regained control last year as a result of their victories in the 1918 congressional elections. He then was chosen democratic leader in the house During the present session it is apparent that his health was fafl- ing. e walked stowly, with a drag- ging step. While he usually was on the floor and followed proceedings clasely, he rarely engaged in debate. On on or two oecasions, however, he spoke at some length on Important questions. Close friends believe his death was hastened by the death three years ago of his only grandchild, Champ Clark Thompson, three year old son of Mr. and Mrs. James M. Thompson, I was passionately fon:.l of his grandson and aksoclates say | afters the child’s death they noticed a pereeptible change in his wcondition, which in the spring of 1920 alarmed his family. During the summer and fall how- ever he regained vigor and took an aetive part in his campaign for re- election in Missouri. Although ran ahead of his tieket, Mr. Clark was defeated by appreximately 3.000 votes, Judge T. W. ukriede, of Warrenton, Jo., being elected. The former ker first was sent to congress in 1892, and after serving | nd as | ! lishead. b he | ? { Great Bri minutes. Representative Rucker, democrat, Missouri who made the an- nouncement said it was Mr Clark's wish as expresed through his son, that there would be no interruption of congress in its closing days. Immediately the 30 minutes recess the adopted a resolution providing for payment to Mrs. Clark p year's salary totalling about $9,000 DOUGHBOYS READ | CAESAR ON RHINE | coming & factor Wild West Stories Also Eagerly Perused by U. §. Forces Colblenz, March =.--Tales oi ad- venture in the American West are the favorite reading matter of the Ameri- can forces in Germany and Zane Grey is the most popular author. it Strangely enough, Julius Caesar runs a clogo second with the dough- bo: who are very keen about trans- lations of Cae s Gallic Wars. This is due to Caesar's activilies in the Rhine valley and the runins of the bridge he built across the Rhine, which lifts Caesa work out of the schooltboy class and makes it a guide- book that carries the Americans back nearly 2,000 years Books which describe centering about the Rhine are also popular, especially with the soldiers who are musically inclined and attend the Wagnerian perrormances given the various German grand opera companies which play in Cologne, Coblenz, Wiesbaden and the other cit- ies near the Rhine frequented by diers on leave. All-story magazines which special- ize in adventures are more popular with the Americ soldiers than any other periodicals and the American Library association has been unable to supply the demand for publications of this sort. With the asaistance of the Young Men®s ‘Christian Association, which aids in the distribution of reading ma- terial in the American area. Miss Ala Weyth, who is in charge of the Amer- ican Library association’s reading rooms, has been able to make a gen- eral poll of the reading taste of the army and finds that foreign residence has not won the roung Americans away from fiction lahd America, particularly in the west. The American Library a3 has about 30,000 books a able for Americans, French Belgiany and Snelish residents of the occupied area and has also circulated many hooks by mail to Americans living in ether parts of Germany. Threa hundred coptes each of 36 American weekly and monthly publications, in addition to a large number of news- papers, have been taken by the ar- ganization and circulated through the branch libraries at Andernach and Mayen, as well as throngh the Ameri- can Base Hospital and the main li- brary in Coblenz. With the beginning of 1921 the American Library association turned its books over to the Y. M. C. A., and is no lofiger supporting the work. The main library in Coblenz was formerly a German oflicers” club and js ideally suited to library purposes. 1t has a great ball room which makes an excellent reading room and also has sun parjors and large drawing rooms, with many windows. Many Germans have asked for the privilege of using,the library, but this has been deniea Ay the army did not think it advisable. One German téld the li- brarian he had lived many years in America and should really be allowed to have books because he was an American “in principle.” BRITAIN IN NEED OF GOLD STANDARD the legends by sol- in sociation Such Is Beliai Expressed by Sir George Paish T.ondon, March 2 ped of restor- ation of gold standard in Great Brit- ain was emphasized at a meeting o the Sound Currency association ré- cently held here.

And the government is going to aid in putting the infant industry of Alaska on its feet by experiments in the reindeer's weight to about double its present average, sci- entifically breeding them, locating ranges and soientifically studying their disease parasites and grazing problems. Provision is made in the agricultural appropriation bill of this year for that purpose. Dr. . V. Neison, chief the bio- logical survey. in urging the appro- priation iold Congress there are about 200,000 reind in Alaska, of which about three-fourth belong to the na- tives and about one-fourth to the gov- ernment and to white owners who have started a commercial industry in reindeer growing for meat. These reindeer multiplied from an original importation of 1,280 animals made yvears ago, for the benefit of the skimos People have asked me what the 1uture of the industry is likely to be,” said Dr. Nelson. “L have replied by asking them the question: ‘If 1,280 reindeer in 28 years produced the present 200,000 animals, what is like- ly to be the inc se from 200,000 animals the next 28 years?' The incre almost unbelievable In other words, the industr properly handled, should have a great future. The Als an firm which has start- ed the industry exported 1,600 e 1o Seattle last year. They have estab- lished four small cold storage plants at points on the Al an coast, where the reindeer can readily be driven down for slaughter to be refrigerated and loaded for shipment. [ have re- cently been studying the possibilities of the Alaskan reindeer industry when well developed. 1 believe Alaska contains available range to maintain from four to five million reindeer. The estimate has beon made that it would take care of 10,000,000, but I think that is 100 high. “Five million reindeer would give an output of about 1,250,000 reindeer a tear. Dressed for market one now averazes 130 pounds. Taking this weight and the present value of rein- deer meat, the fully developed rein- deer industry in Alaska should yvield approximately $43,000,000 year. Reindeer have been tn Alaska 28 years and their increase under crude methods of handling has becn almost startling. Under proper scientific su- pervision and modern methods the industry should develop very rapidly. “There are big herds of wild cari bou about the Mount McKinley re- gion, some bulls of which dress up to about 400 pounds. We plan to cap- ture some bulls of this stock and use them with an experimental herd ot reindeer cows for the purpose of building up a higher zrade of rein- deer, having szreater weight and in- creased hardiness. 1 believe it will be practicable in less than ten years to have the reindeer of Alaska run- ning from 250 to 300 pounds to the carcass, instead of 150 pounds as at The increased weight would increase the value of the fully de- veloped Alaska reindeer industry enough to bring the poten output around $60,000,000 at present values. That is more than the fisheries of a produce. tefansson, the Arctic explorer, cas here recently. e is interested in the lcase granted by the Canadian government for a great arca for rein- deer grazing in Baflins'Bay region.
