It had be- fore it once more an order of the d calling for consideration of both Ar- thur Griffith's ratification motion and Fiamon De cra's alternative pro- posal. It was net generally thought the debate would run many days longer, many members expecting a vote by Thur y night or I7riday. 0O'Connor Opposed. Art O'Connor of South Kildare, minister of agriculture, opened debate with an argument that the treaty was a step backward, and a declaration of belief that the real heart of the Irish people had not changed, despite numerous resolutions by various bodies in favor of the pact. Dail the Collins Interrupts. O'Connor W interrupted several times, notably by Michael Collins, who resented his attack on resolutions fa- voring the treaty passed by meetings of farmers. Collins called attention to the suffererings of the rural popu- lation whose houses had been burned on all sides. Beasley In Favor. Pierce Beasley of County Kerry, noted for his exploits in prison break- ing, and his lifelong contributions to the Trish movement, said none of the opponents of the treaty had shown any sign of constructive sfatesmanship or had even indicated what they pro- posed to do if the treaty were reject- ed. He contended the treaty gave everything Ireland had been fighting for. Michael Collins and Arthur Grif- fith, he declared, know the Irish peo- ple better “than the opponents of this treaty, who care only for dry form- ulae.” Would Die First. Countess Markiewicz vigorously de- nounced the treaty. The countess demanded to know what would be the position in the up- per house of the Irish free state of the southern unionists, who she said had been the worst enemies of Ire- land. She called them traitors and oppressors of the Irish working class- es. Discussing the oath, she said: “I, being an honorable woman, would sooner die than make a decla ration of allegiance to King George. J. J. Walsh of Cork asserted that he had visited his constituency during the recess and learned that nine out of every ten people in Cork wanted the treaty accepted. COUNT SZECHENYI MINISTER TO U.

He is now in Washington. Countess Szechenyi was formerly Gladys M. Vandgrbilt of New York city. New York, Jan. New York's so- ciety set regarded with satisfaction the announcement from Budapest that Count Laszlo Szechenyi has been appointed Hungarian minister to the United States and that his American wife, formerly Gladys M. Vanderbilt, would hold sway in diplomatic Wash- ington. That such would be the case had been expected. The countess spent much time in Switzerland during the war. With America in the conflict her Am- erican holdings, valued at $9,000,- 000 were seized by the alien property custodian, and later she started pro- ceedings to recover them.

Washington, Jan. 3.—The adminis- tration would be directed under a res- slution introduced today by Repre- wntative Reavis, republican, Ne- ska. to demand repayment by “rance of money loaned to her by the United States during the war. Mr. Reavis in a statement said prompt payment of the debt should be in- isted upon because Irance has in- licated her intention of expending rge sums of money on increased naval armament.” The resolution did [Pfrance by name but in his formal statement Mr. Reavis stated that it was directed at Irance because of her stand at the armament conference on the submarine ques Text of R The text of the resolution follows: “Whereas the proceedings of the conference on the limitation of arm- unents disclose a determination on the part of certain debtor nations of the United States to expend large sums of money on increased naval armament, “Resolved by the sentatives (the senate concurring) that it is desire of congress that the government of the United States ad- vise such nation or nations through the proper channels that the payment obligations now due to the United States will be acceptable.” Mr. Reavis' Statement Mr. Reavis' statement follows: "he United States feels very great sympathy for the distress of Europe aside from any selfish interest we may have in the matter. T do not doubt that congr will be willing to fund the Buropean debt as suggested by the administration if the necessity for it is made apparent. But with Ifrance standing unmoved before the prayers and pleadings of mankind for a tranquil world and asserting the in- tention of vastly increasing the most barbarous and inhuman implement of war, viz: the submarine, I think it is time to wipe the tears of sympathy from our eyes and try to see with clearer vision what the present sit- uation portends “Irance has today an army larger than had Germany at any time before the war.

This place was closed by the state police after the Rialto theater fire but was pe mitted by the same authority to r open after alterations had been made, Later the management got an injunc- tion restraining interference by Chief Smith, Decision Postponed. An indefinite postponement was given by Judge Webb today on the order to show cause why a permanent injunction in favor of the Palace and Lijou theaters to prevent Chief of Po- lice Smith from interfering with them, should not be issued. These theaters have been open under a tem- porary injunction but in federal court after an injunction there w; granted the managements said that changes would be made in those theaters to make their exits and equipment con- form to the building code. Chief Smith is to issue permits if the alter- ations are satisfactory and the need of restraint by injunction either in state or federal courts may hereafter not be necessary. Mayor Has Veto hall today it was reported that the board of aldermen tonight will receive from Mayor Fitzgerald a veto of an order and permits to thea- ters to replace those recalled by the mayor after the fire. This is a new hoard, the old one having gone out of office last week. Mayor IMitzgerald took up his new term of office yester- day. The outgoing board passed the order on a petition of theater man- agements for permits basing its ac- tion upon an opinion by Corporation Counsel Bennett that the 1920 build- ing code was not retroactiv Mayor Fitzgerald recalled permits Building Inspector Austin had de- clared that he had not required thea- ters to conform to the code because he belleved that provid- ed they made no alterations, they were not amenable to the new codc¢ Mayor I‘itzgerald, who had sat at Coroner Mix's fire inquest, had de- clared that no theater here had con- formed to the present building code. O'MARA TO BE ON STATE POLICE? Local Offlcer Mentioned for Job—Changes in Local Theaters At city That Patrolman Patrick O'Mara may become associated with the state police department in the capacity of a deputy theater inspector is the be- lief in official circles today. While nothing definite has been given out, is understood that Patrolman ira has been approached on the bility of his taking such a job, working under Sergeant Stiles and In- spector A. N, Rutherford. Inasmuch as for many years Pa- trolman O'Mara himself was an ex- perienced theater man and a licensed motion picture operator, it is believed in some quarters that he would make an excellent state inspector, Iis knowledge of motion picture machi ery, the dangers connected therewith, ete., are believed to be factors strong ly in favor of his appointment. At the present time Patrolman O'Mara is doing plain clothes duty as a member of the so-called “strong arm squad.” Several local theaters were yesterday by State Inspector ford who was accompanied by I’ trolman O'Mara and the latter known to have made certain sugg tions to the theater ‘owners as well as did Mr. Rutherford. In connection with the theater sit- uation in this eity, it is said by those in touch with the theater men them- selves that recommendations for im- mediate additions, alterations or im- provements have been ordered. In cach case the theater stood to be ready to comply at once. In the event of their delaying too long, however, it is the belief that their licenses will be immediately sus- pended. visited Ruther- sels armed isitioned or government subject to Washington, Jan or unarmed, own chartered by the during the war damage laws, after service for while under government operation, it was held today by the supreme court. federal are not from their release * WEATHER. —p Hartford, Jan. 3.—Forecast for New Britain and vicinity: Increasing cloudiness probably followed by snow or rain to- night and Wednesday; warmer.
