Are Not Through
With Question.
Dublin. lire. 0—(By All P>— The ex
ecutions of Rory O'Connor. Liam
Mellowes and two other rebels as a
form of reprisal brought the govern
ment Into conflict with the labor mem
bers of the Dali Eirear.n at yesterday's
session.
While defeated for the moment In
■ their attempt to bring at>out a debate
on (he executions, the labnritles
served notice that they were not done
with the question and warned the
government that such acts would
tarnish the good name of the Irish
free state before the world
Tom Johnson, leader of the labor
ities. was on his feet at the opening
of the session with a demand for a
statement from the government.
President Cosgrave peremptorily re
fused. but Mr. Johnson pressed hla
demand, whereupon the president ap
, pealed to the chairman to proceed
with the scheduled business, the elec
tion of a committee on the appoint
ment of ministers.
The labor leader retorted that ex
ecutions such as these were far more
important than the election of any
committee and that they might end
in there being no need for etlch elec
tion. lie moved suspension of the
standing orders to allow the matter
to be debated, hut President Cosgrave
objected, a division was taken, and
the labor motion was rejected, 24 to
14.
President Cosgrave. In an Impas
sioned speech closing the debate, said
there recently had been a dastardly
attempt on the guards. There was a
diabolical conspiracy afoot and the
Irregular leaders had met and dis
cussed It. for the assassination of
members of the dail. but the leaders
turned It clown on paper, while gangs
took It tip so that people at the top
could disclaim responsibility. The
only way to meet the situation was
to crush It and strike terror to those
responsible.
Mr. Johnson challenged the division
on the formal motion for adjourn
ment to show how many supporters
the government had. A vote was
taken and 39 members supported the
government and 14 opposed It. The
bouse then adjourned until next Tues
day.

Freedom of Commerce in
Black Sea—Tchitcherin
More Pacific.
Lusanne. Dec, 9.—(By A. P.)—
Georges Tchitcherin. the bolshevik
foreign minister, abandoned bis
previously hostile attitude regarding
the Dardenelles question at yester
day's session of the near eastern con
ference and expressed approval of the
Turkish proposals for regulation of
the straits, with the reservation that
he must see the actual words of the
sections covering the various points at
Issue before he could give them full
formal approval.
Japan spoke for the first time of
the straits pi-oblem. Baron Hayashi,
the Japanese representative, said that
Japan, as a power having great ship
ping interests In the Mediterranean,
hoped for trade in the Black sea and
was vitally intrested in the regulation
of near eastern waters. He was en
tirely in accord with the words of
Richard Washburn Child, the Amer
ican ambassador, concerning the
straits and liberty of commerce in tlie
Black sea and said he had listened
with great delight to the statements of
Ismet Pasha, on behalf of Turkey,
who approached the difficult problems
in a sympathetic and conciliatory man
ner.
The only harsh note of the session
came w hen M. Tchitcherin and M. Ra
kovsky also of the Russian delegation,
demanded that Russia be admitted to
all informal discussions which may
take place between the military and
naval experts of the Turks and the
entente on the straits question. Lox-d
Curzon held this would be Impossible
as these discussions would be informal
and wholly unofficial. He said that
Russian had no right to demand rep
resentation when the other powers In
terested in the straits were making no
such request.
On Inxnet Pasha's suggestion that
there should be a limitation of naval
forces entering the Black sea, Dol'd
Curzon declared he thought the prin
ciple laid down by the allies was
sound, but thxxt the allies were willing
to interpret It in a liberal way and
felt sure a satisfactory formula could
be worked out after conversations.

New North High

Soil of Proposed Site Too Soft
for Foundation, Tests
Show.
A .change of Bite for the North
j High school is contemplated by build
ings and grounds committee of the
board of education, on account of
subsoil conditions of a tract at Thir
ty-third and Ames avenue.
Tests showed that 42-foot concrete
piles would not carry the load because
of softness of the soil on which they
rested. Subsequent tests with 80-foot
composite piles proved satisfactory,
but it was figured that It would cost
850,000 more than originally figured
to sink the SO foot piles. The orig
inal estimate for piles was $2,000.
Grading already done at this site
cost about $5,000. The site was ae
i quired during March, 1920, at a cost
of $40,250. Contracts for the con
