Peace Hopes Depressed M
"President" Is Expected H
Spurn Home Rule Program*
Says Correspondent,
BY PERCY 8ARL,
United News Staff Correspondent.
London, Jan. 10.—Advance hits *
to the nature of Eamon de Valera\
statement have depressed the hop*
of peace in Ireland which rose a fea
days ago, due to a combination oi
circumstances. Now It Is predicted
that de Valera will defy the govern
ment, spurn its home rule program
and demand that any negotiations
start as though there was no home
rule program even in contemplation.
This, the government would of course
reject and the matter would be In
no better shape than at present.
What Government Wants.
The government wants the Irish
council instituted under the home
rule bill’s provisions to submit its
recommendations for further legisla
tion. But whether the council will
ever report to the British govern
ment, remains to be seen.
The Empire News, a weekly Man
chester publication, prints a circum
stantial story, rather vague through
out, of a Sinn Fein plot to blpw up
the house of parliament with new,
small, most highly explosive bombs
to be fired into parliament from a
distance by an ingenius device.
Typical Dreadful Story.
It Is a typical penny dreadful story
as this paper tells it without stating
anything definitely enough to risk be
mg canea ro account, a mysterious
woman, seen on the embankment
near Westminster, was observed to
give a secret sign of recognition to
known Sinn Feiners. Pursued, the
woman dropped her handbag into the
Thames and when it was grappled
from the water the police, according
to the Empire News, found the plans
for the bombing. Nobody is likely to
believe it but the British public likes
its light reading and Sinn Fein is
eligible for the position of goat.

One of the waiters thought it was
a “shinny stick” and threw it in a
rubbish pile. There it remained until
Parker Anderson, a reporter, found
it.
Just as he was &bout to throw the
shilaleh away. Anderson caught
glimpse of the metal piece containing
the inscription.
“Thank you, my boy,” said "Uncle
Joe,” “I had given up bope of ever
getting back that famous cane.”
“I'm glad I found it for you,” said
Anderson. “By the way, ‘Undie Joe,'
you certainly are 'some stepper' with
your stick and 'specs.' ”
“Yes, and I really don’t need the
glasses at all," remarked "Uncle Joe”

This Is the measure passed by the
House in record time, which would

act as an embargo.
May Reconsideis Anti-Strike Bill,
Senator LaFollette Monday Is to

sider the vote by which the Senate
passed the Po'ndexter antl-strlko bin
a few days ago. This bill went

what was going on. There has been
much protest since.
The Senate foreign relation's com
mittee Is to meet again to consider
disarmament. Senator Borah Is ex

which constitutes the ground for and
justifies a criminal action againsi

inaugural at the capitol. The Senate
already has acted on this.
To Consider Appropriation Bill.
The legislative, executive and Judi
cial appropriation hill, which carries
the salary roll for the majority of
government employes, is to he con

the hill as reported from committee
to reduce the number of employes in
the capital 10,000 by cutting out their
salaries with the beginning of the
fisqfU year, July 1. The Indian ap
propriation bill is expected to be re

general revision of the tariff started
last week, will continue.
Book Showing Conspiracy
Contains Many Messages (
By Von Bernstorff,
Says London Dispatch.
London, Jan. 10 (United Press).—
Evidence that the Sinn Fien plotted
with Germany during the war was
given out by the government Bat
urdoy in a 59-page white book, con
taining 100 documents. The evidence
indicated the Sfhn Fein plotted with
Germany for the landing of arms and
munitions in Ireland to be used in a
rebellion there. —
The book contains many messages
sent by Count Von Bernstorff, then
German ambassador to the United
States. These show the wide ramifl
cations ot tne plot.
One of these messages was said to
have been attached surreptitiously by
Ber'nstorff to a message sent during
the Lusitania negotiations and said:
"John De Very informed me there is
to be a rising in Ireland Easter Sun
day, (1916). Send arms to Limerick."
Berlin replied April 6, 1916:
“Could land 20,000 rifles and am
munition at Trale." This message also
mentioned signals to be used. Bern
storff replied April 19 that die Irish
desired that troops be landed in
Ireland, even if only a small number.
A later message from German Foreign
Secretary Zimmerman said it was im
possible to land troops but that 30,000
rifles and 6,000,000 cartridges could
be supplied.
The While paper said all this infor
mation fell into the hands of the Brit
ish government, that adequate pre
parations were mijde, and the consign
ment of munitions never reached Ire
land.

Washington, Jan 10 (United News).
—Undoubtedly there ore a lot of peo
ple who believe that they elected
Warren Q. Harding president of the
United States, but they did not. He
is not elected yet.
As a matter of historical fact,
Harding will not be elected until
Monday.
And that isn't all. The election to
be held Monday will not be formally
ratified until almost a month later,
when, on February 9, congress* con
venes, and examines the ballots.

Marlon. Ohio, Jan. 9 (United
News).—The first piece of business
to be transacted by Harry R. Davis,
new governor of Ohio, who wilt bo
inaugurated Monday, will be to ac
cept the resignation of President
elect Harding from the United States
Senate.
The resignation was mailed' from

A proposal that members of the

proval of Senator Harding. This will

public announcement of bis decisions
is another matter, but men who hav •
been Interesting themselves in tlie
claims of certain candidates were
certain Sunday for some reason that
their doubts would be dissolved wllli
ln the next four or five days, cei
tainly in advance of the senator's
departure for Florida.
It is said this is unlikely to mean
that the names of all cabinet members
will be made known, even to those
with whom Harding is consulting. It
is more probable that he will call the
process of kite flying off in the rase
of a few of the important places and
make his final choice for those
places, his advisors say. As for the
other appointments, he will continue
to watch the reaction of party lead
ers, it was said Sunday by one
helped formulate the list of names
that have been put before the public
from time to time.
Looks Like Hughes and Doughorty.
'A good many of those names have
been knocked down by the outspoken
public protest or the insistent, quiet
objections of the men who have the
party organization to maintain," ln
said. "One name that seems to stand
up is that of Judge Hughes and an
other is that of Harry Daugherty."
Because measures for international
armament reduction are vitally in
volved in Harding's tentative foreign
policy program he is said by his ad
visors to be proceeding with great
care in the selection of his secretar
ies of war and navy.
While friends of Admiral Sims are
recommending him for the navy post
and friends of both Generals Per
shing and Wood have strongly advo
rated their selection for the war
portfolio, it Is Harding’s intention tc
place a civilian in both places.
Among those being considered for
