A meet- ing of the Dail Eireann cabinet was held today at the Mansion House with Eamon De Valera presiding. The coming meet- ing of the Dai Eireann was discussed and the question who will be entitled to attend was an interesting point raised. After the last elections for northern and southern Ireland the Sinn Fein party, anxious of the establishment of a national assembly embracing all parties in Ireland, resolved to constitute the Dail Eireann from every man elected, in- cluding members of the Orange party and of Trinity college. The Sinn Feiners therefors issued in- vitations to all those elected asking whether they desired to join in the as- sembly. They received replies only from their own sympathizers, towever, and now they have decided to send invitations only to those persons who then indicated their willingness to join the national body. Thus the Dail Eireann will con- sist of 132 persons who accepted the in- vitation.

VISCOUNT BRYCE'S THIRD ADDRESS AT WILLIAMS Willlamstown, Mass., Aug. 5—The less Controversy Over Amerie;n‘ Senator Borah Warns Republi- Far Apart On The | Fordney Tait i can Leaders—To Retain Membership in Congress. Washington, Aug. 5—Final action by the senate finance committee on the Fordney Tariff bill appeared tonight to be farther away than at any time since the measure was turned over te it two weeks ago. There were no signs that the committee would be able for some days to enter into executive consideration of the two controversial phases of the bill—American valuation and the dye embargo—and no hearings have been held or study given yet to rates and other provisions. Indications that Senators will demand fizures on production costs and profits and a multitude of other detajls of the dye and chemical business developed to- day. Senator La Follette, Republican, Wisconsin, announced that he had pre- pared a list of questions covering such subjects and proposed to propound tnem to all witnesses. In his efforts, he has the support of half a dozen other mem- bers, among. them Senator Watson, Re- publican, Indiana. Chairman Penrose had planned early in the week to begin executive sessions next Thursday.

He was discuss- ing international trade and questioned the value of direct governmental aid to commercial interests. ; Speaking of the connection between finance ani war Lord Bryce declared “Money can exercisé as much il- legitimate influence in democracies as elsewhere. In some of them it can, buy the press, perhaps also a section of leg- islators. Where the standard of public virtue is high, those who want to get something from a government will seek not to bribe, but will, to use a current expression, ‘try to get at the press,’ while also seeking to induce influential constituents to put pressure on their members and members to put préssure on ministers, the object in view being rep- resented as a public interest, whereas it is really the interest of a small group. When the standard is low, the group will appreach the private secretaries of a minister or even a minister himself. “That wars are made by financiers is not generally true, but they have a great hand in negotiations and in. fixing the lines of policy, and they some times turn it in directions not favorable to trug national interests. Governments must of course consult financiers and may often not only profit by their ad- vice but make use of them. A consor- tion of banks such as has been set up for China may prevent—and I tbink does prevent—evils which would arise if each national group intrigued for its own interest. There are upright men valugble to a nation in ‘high finance’ as in other professions. You know them in America and we know them in England. They ‘have their spirit of action neces- sary to the world. But whenever large i transactions ifivolving governments arise, the danger signal for watchfulness should be raised.” Of the charges that munitions makers are some times interested in creating ill feeling between peoples Viscount Bryce had th's to say: “It has been frequently said of late that in several countries the great firms which niarAfacture muritions of war endeavor to influence military and naval expenditure and resorted to a secret alarmist propaganda or even tried to stir up ill feeling between nations ,in or- der to induce governments to propose and legislatures to vote large sums for such expenditure. This may have hap- pened in countrfes which.it s better not to name but no evidence sufficlent to con-: firm so odious a charge has to my knowl- edge been produced. I do not believe that the thing ever happened in England.” WHOLESALE LIQUOR DEALERS ARE TO BE ELIMINATED Washington, Aug. 5.—Regulations eliminating wholesale liquor dealers from distabution of alcoholic “heverages Weére issued today by Internal Revenue Commissioner Blalr. In genepal they provide that sales of liquor, at wholesale are restricted to manufacturers and wholesale druggists, except. that other per#ns may sell for sacramental pur- poses wines which they lawfuily import for such use.

They are understood, however, to express the keen interest of tie war and navy departments in the matter from the standpoint of national defense. The committee today heard Joseph H. Choate, Jr., spokesman for the dye and chemical interests seeking an embargo, and, in addition to others, Granville . McFarland of Boston, attorney for the Amoskeag Mills, who spoke in opposition to any form of embargo. Antagonism between the two sides was shown fre- quently during the day. Toe American .Dye Institute was brought into the discussion several times and once its statement of expenditures coverifig. activities in behalf of legisla- tion was read. Senator Root Republican, Utah, who read the statement, explained that it showed expenses of $104,000 for “lobbying,” and that = Mr. Choate had been paid more than $25,00 for services last year. H. A. Metz, a dye manufacturer and importer of New York, was called to the stand to submit a list 5f assesments on members of the institute. Although op- posed to an embargo, to which the in- stitute is comitted, Mr. Metz praised the organization for having done ‘“much good work.” “I regret, however,” he added, “that seventy five per cent of the assessments were used to pay Mr. Choate and Judge Covington (J. Harry Covington former district of Columbia judge). It has performed a good service in many cases. Of course, it bas been foolish some times and I think this is one of them CONTROVERSY ON TAX BILL IN THE HOUSE Washington, Aug. 5—Treasury ex- perts and republican leaders in the hou of fepresentatives are far apart in their estimates of federal expenditures and in- come for this fiscal year. The committee dealing with tax revi- sion has before its ficure prepared by Chairman Madden, of the appropriations committee, which are sald to Show a smaller probable outgo than given in Secretary Mellon's statement of yester- day and a considerably large income. Other house leaders alsc have pre- pared their own estimates and on the basis of the whole they insist that it will be entirely possible to reduce taxes by halt a billion dollars. Democratic lead- ers, on the other hand, say this is not possible unless there is to be ahuge deficit at the end of the year. Bringing up the tax question in the senate, Senator Bo- tah, republican, Idaho, declared today that the army and navy were the only places where cuts could be made to meet Secretary Mellon’s recommendations and warned against any increased taxes. ‘While expressing approval of Senator Borah's propesal to cut the army to 100,- 000 men, Chairman Fordney, of the tax revision committee, made it known. that his estimates for tax reduction were in- dependent of this. Other houss laaders in ariving at thelr estimates have clared for general cuts and they expect all departments to spend less than the sums actually provided, Representative Madden sald congress could be depended upon to keep down ex- penditures. ““We have got to keen our noses te the grindstone,” he said, FINAL VOTE NEXT TUESDAY ON FORD-NEWBERRY CASH ‘Washington, Aug, 5.—The senate priv. ileges .and elections committee will take & fndl vote next Tuesday, under an Agréement reached teday en the elestion con " between Benator Newherry, re- publican, Michigan, and Heary Ford, l:il:-'dum opponent, in the 1918 eleer 12 PAGES—84 COLUMNS I ECISION IS PRICE TWO CENTS. RESERVED ON. JTTNEY RESTRAINING ORDER By Federal Judge k. S. Thomas in New Haven—Un Petition to Prevent Prosecution of Jitneymen Operating in Vio- lation of the State Jitney Law—Argument Was on the Main Question Which Will Come Before Three Fed- eral Judges on August 16. New Haven, Conn., Aug. 5.—No decl-1ten days hence by sion was announced by Federal Just E. S. Thomas at the conclusion today of a hearing here on a petition of Statx's At- torney Alling, Prosecutor Pickett of the common pleas court and attorneys rep- resenting the Connecticut companv oa a petition to rescind or modify the re- straining order issued last Saturday pr venting prosecution of jitneymen operat- ing in violation of the new Jjitney law en- acted at the 1921 session of the legisia- turg, The hearing resolved itself into an ar- gument on the main question of the le- gality of jitney operation, which is to be cons:dered by three federal judges on August 16. Attorney George D. Watrous,' who ap- peared in behalf of the Connecticut company and the state’s attorney, pointed out that the company, which operates trolley lines throughout the state, nwas losing from $6,000 to $10,000 daily as the result of jitney competition. He de- clared that the jitneys were common carriers—a statement disputed by coun- sel for the bus men—and should be reg- ulated by-the state. For the jitneymen, Attorney Robert J. Woodruff argued that while the Con- necticut company seeks to save part of Its ingome, the jitney owmers seek to save ther entirc income. He maiztained that a .decision on whether the rights of the people had been invaded by the jitney legislation conild not be given prior to the consideraiion of the question the three federay judges. Judge Robert*J. Noy necticut company attorney, the “unfair competition Attorney General Heal: state, asserted that the people of the state, through the lezislature, had de cided that the jitney should go and the trolleys remain, as the two systems of another Con- objected to the jitn in ehalf of the transporiation cannot operate side by side. He pointed out also that if th Connecticut company should he foreed out of business the state wou'd be de- prived of revenue by default of il'e com- pany’'s taxes, When the hearing was Thomas reserved d n. A few moments before the hearing w: adjourned, Mr. Watrous said the point as the restraining order was issued upon the application of counsel for sixteen New Haven jitneymen, and was intended to restrain New Haven officials only, it ought not to apply to the entire state, and therefore the section specifically re- straining all “officers of the state, and endel Judge of every municipality thereof,” should be stricken out and the order be made ap- plicable to New Haven exclusively. Counsel for the Bridgeport jitneymen immediately made formal application for n order restraining Bridgeport officiai from interfering with the operations of jitneys in that city, in order to give them the same standing as the Xew Haven men at the hearing to be held Aug. 16. Judge Thomas made no cominent o the proposals. SERIES OF SPEECHES BY THE PRESIDENT IN NEW HAMPSHIRE Gotham, N. H., Aug. 5—A nation “com- mitted to the task of reforming the world” was pictured by President Hard- ing today as his ideal for .gaerica. In a speech delivered in the course of a flying circuit of northern New Hamp- shire towns the president declared bLis conviction that America’s mission not only was to banish warfare from the earth but to establish everywhere prin- ciples of freedom and justice. ¢ In the same speech which was ad- dressed to' a group of disabled world war veterans Mr. Hard'ng said the real reason behind the administration’s oppo- sition t immediate action on soldier compensation was that it desired first <f all to do its duty by thoss who came from | the war impaired. The president's appearance here was a part of a strenuous day's program which completed his vacation visit to New Hampshire by giving him a taste of al_ most. every experience except rest and quiet. Leaving his vacation lodge near Lancaster shortly before 9 o'clock this morning, he motored 170 miles, delivered four speeches, held two public receptions, played eighteen holes of golf and i spected the Gorham #¢ibercular sani- torium for service ‘men before he re- turned to Lancastef at nightfall. The other places in which the chief executive spoke were North Stratford, Colebrook and Berlin. In each speech he alluded to the nation’s efforts to receive a guarantee of lasting peace in the com- ing disarmament conference and pledged himself to put this test into the task. The growing impression of American leadership-was an outstanding element in every instance. The president and Fis vacation party will leave Lancaster by automobile to- morrow morning for Portland where they will go aboard the presidential yacht Mayflower late in the day for the return voyage to Washingtons They expect to reach the capital about noon Tuesday PRESCRIPTIONS FOR BEER HAVE BEEN COMPLETED ‘Washington, Aug. 5—Regulations which will permit the prescription as medi of a case of beer at a time without lim- it as to the nmumber of prescriptions are undegstood to have been completed by the Internal Revenue Bureau and now, await the decision of Secretary Mellon as’ to their issuance. As the secretary is away for the week end it was indicated tonight that no action could be expected before Monday and that this might be affected by congressional enactment of pending anti-beer legisiation. The Willis-Campbell anti-beer bill which is designed to corect the neforce- ment am as interpreted by former at- torney general Palmer in the matter of medical beer was debated in the senate today but adjournment was taken until Monday without &n agreement for a final vote being reached. Opponents threatened to continue a protracted de- bate of the measure.
