People Are Willing to Accept
Pact with England.
BY DENNIS O'CONNELL,
Special Cable Dispatch.
Dublin, May 2.—The sensational
announcement that practically all of
the most Influential revolting mem
bers of tho Irish republican army
have reached an amicable agreement
with Michael Collins was made public
by the Dail government Monday
night.
An agreement signed by Sean Hag
erty. Dun Hreen, H. Murphy and F.
O'Donoghue, all leaders of the revolt
ing section of the army, and by Mich
ael Collins, his minister of defense,
Dick Mulcahy, chief of staff, Owen
O'Duffy and Gerald O'Sullivan, rep
resenting the free staters, was given
out.
Tho agreement declares that the
“conflict of comrades is the greatest
calamity in Ireland's history," and
calls for a “closing up of the ranks of
the army" and “a facing of the situ
ation that a majority of the people
are willing to accept the treaty with
England."
The army convention has agreed to
the election with a view of forming
a government which “will have the
confidence of the whole country."
The unification of the army upon
an agreed basis was approved.
The agreement broke like a bomb
shell and means that all the princi
pal revolting sections have joined the
Collins standard.

night declared that "it has become
clear that the treaty must be refer
red to the people or be settled b£

All Dublin is rejoicing in the feeling

PACKERS ACT
U. S. Supreme Court Reaf
firms U. S. District Court
Decision—Transactions
Question at Issue.
Washington, May 2.—That portion
Of the packers ami stockyards act of
August, 1921, giving the secretary of
agriculture supervisory rights over
the livestock dealers and commercial
men is constitutional. The United
States supreme court so decided Mon
day in the consolidated test cases of
T. F. Stafford, J. E. Burton and oth
ers, livestock dealers on the Chicago
stockyards and taken before the su
preme court on appeal from the
United States district court for the
northern district of Illinois. The su
preme court affirmed the district
court decision.
The opinion handed down by Chief
Justice Taft was concurred in by all
the justices except Justice Day, who
did not participate.
The question at issue was whether
transactions on the stockyards should
be construed as interstate commerce.
The court stated:
“The word ‘commerce’ when used in
the act is defined to be interstate and
foreign commerce. Its provisions are
carefully drawn to apply only to
those practices and obstructions
which in the judgment of Congress
are likely to affect Interstate com
merce perjudiclaUy. Thus construed
and applied, we think the act clearly
within congressional power and valid.
"Other objections are made to the
act and its provisions as violative ol
other limitations of the constitution
but the only one seriously pressed
was that based on the commerce
clause and we do not deem it neces
sary to discuss the others.’’
The complainants went before the
district court with petitions praying
interlocutory injunctions to restrain
the secretary of agriculture from en
forcing the provisions of the act as
applied to the commission and trad
ers. The injunctions were refused.

Big Guns and Machine Guns
In Action Without Letup—
Meantime, U. S. Rushes
More Marines to Peking.
Special Cable Dispatch.
Peking, May 2. — Heavy fighting
south and west of Peking continued
Sunday and Sunday night with both
sides claiming the advantage.
Big guns and machine guns were in
action without letup.
A million and a half residents of
Peking were relieved Monday by the
organization of special police to safe
guard Peking.
Trains on the Peklng-Shanghai
railroad have been turned back by
the warring factions. Foreign lega

UNCLE SAM RU8HES
MORE DEVIL DOGS
Washington, May 2.—With Peking
a belligerent city, the United States
is continuing to rush reinforcements
to the legation guard there.
The ships now engaged In taking
marines to Chlng Wang Tao, en route
to Peking, are the New Orleans and
the Albany, which were stationed at
Vlatdlvstok and the Huron, which
left Cavite, in the Philippines some 10
days ago. The fact that the Huron
has not yet landed is believed due to
the fact that she changed her course.
Call for Morg Gunboats.
The navy department was advised
that Minister Schurman had called
for additional gunboats to protect the
Interests of Americans in the Chinese
capital. There are several such craft
in the Yangtse river, under command
of Rear Admiral Strauss.
Chinese legation officials here Mon
day expressed the conviction that in
the event either Chang Tso-Lin or
Wu Pei Fu, the contending generals,
captured the city, foreign Interests or
citizens will not be interfered with.
Official records show that there are
800 Americans in Peking, more than
half of whom are connected with re
ligious missions. The remainder are
principally owners and employes of
commercial concerns. At last ac
counts there were 7,289 American
business men, owning or employed by
400 concerns, in all China. The head
quarters of these concerns are mostly
at Hong Kong, Canton and Shang
Many More Marines Arriving.
Xhe present American guard in Po
king numbers 375 marines. These will
be augmented to some 760 within
three days by 170 marines and sailors
from the Albany and 200 from the
Huron. To this number will be add
ed possibly 300 or 400 from the cruis
er New Orleans.
In the event there is mob violence
inside the city walls, the internation
al column of artillery and infantry at
Tien Tsin probably will move toward
the city. In this column are 400
Americans commanded by Col. W. E.
Martin, 2,000 Japanese and 600 Brit
ish. This force is stationed by Inter
national agreement to keep the rail
way line open between Taku and Pe
king. The emergency at present Is
not sufficient to warrant the moving
of this column in the opinion of war
department officials Monday.
DOYLE VICTIM
OF TRICKERY
—OR. SEASHORE
Famous Pyschologist Says
Proofs Result of Crash Evi
dence Which Is Certain
To Be Exposed.
BY JOHN GOLDSTROM
Washington, May 2.—Dr. C. E. Sea
shore, psychologist of the national
research council and member of the
National Academy of Sciences, Mon
day characterized Sir Arthur Conan
Doyle’s proof of spirit communica
tion as the "result of trickery” and
"crash evidence which Is certain to
be exposed."
Dr. Seashore’s statement is the first
denunciation of Sir Arthur’s cam
paign in this country which has come
from an official source, although the
psychologist said that he spoke only
for himself and not for either the Na
tional Research Council, which is a
government institution, .or the Na
tional Academy of Sciences, the fore
most scientific organization in the
United States.
<jcnai i w i v a vwuvnyuva uaun i i ■■■■•
His attitude, however, is generally
held by his colleagues in both the
council and the academy.
Dr. Seashore, one of the foremost
psychologists of the United States,
attended Sir Arthur's lecture here on
Sunday night, and after seeing his
“spirit photographs” and hearing his
statements declared that the mentali
ty that offered them to the public is
"different" from that which created
Sherlock Holmes.
HUGHES WARNS RUSSIA.
Washington, May 2. — Before the

Monday declared *o a delegation of
the Women’s International League for
Peace and Freedom.
“We are most desirous to do what

PEGGY JOYCE’S
ONLY LOVE DIES
Errazuriz, Millionaire Chilean,
Shoots Self as She Wouldn’t
“Drop” Letellier, Eichest
Man of France.
BY C. F. BERTELLI,
Special Cable Dispatch.
Paris, May 2.—Because Peggy Hop
kins Joyce refused to order Henri
Letellier, the richest man in France
to cease his attention to her, Guell
lermo (Billy) Errazuriz. a young
Chilean millionaire and brother of
the famous Mrs. de Saules, heroine of
a husband killing in New York, six
years ago, shot and killed himself in
his room at Claridge hotel.
"Jealousy,” Declares Peggy.
"He is the only man I really loved.”
declared Peggy Hopkins to me Mon
day. "It was his mad Jealousy that
sent him to his death."
The young South American mil
lionaire before committing suicide
carefully masked the real reason for
the act by writing notes to his mother
and to the police, In which he de
clared:
“My fortune Is gone. I die sooner
than become a pauper."
The fact that the Errazuriz family
Is notoriously the richest In Chile,
coupled with the fact that for months
"Billy" i^nd Henri Letellier have been
rivals for Peggy's favor, led Universal
Service to ask the "million dollar
doll” for the truth of the tragedy.
Peggy Tells Her 8tory.
Peggy received the Universal Ser
vice correspondent In her luxurious
suite at Clarldge's.
Reclining on a wonderful bed, her
two pet Pekinese poodles playing
about th'e couch, while Katherine Ma
loney, the well known American pian
ist who Is Peggy's companion re
mained as chaperon, Peggy gave her
story.
"I am absolutely broken up about It
all,” she said, with tears In her eyes.
"Billy and 1 have been in love for six
years. He was the finest, whitest
and squarest boy I ever knew.”
Loved Him During Her Marriage.. .
"All through my last marriage I
loved him, but nothing between us
was ever possible because he himself
was married and had a child.
"However, when I returned from
Cannes I found Billy Installed at
Claridge's and he immediately re
newed his attentions to me, telling me
he had been separated from his wife
for a year. He said that he expected
a divorce soon, and I promised him.
that as soon as he was divorced I
would marry.
"But that did not satisfy him. He
insisted that I cut out all my other
men acquaintances, especially ob
jecting to my friendship with Henri
Letellier, who, in spite of his fre
quent proposals I had not the slight
est intention of marrying.
"Billy was frantically Jealous. He
used to follow mo into restaurants,
where he would sit at the next table
and glare at Letelller until I Just
felt that something awful was bound
to happen.
Three Make Cabarets Together.
"At last I introduced the two men
and last Saturday night we all went
out to make the rounds of the danc
ing places together.
“After a dinner at Ciro’s, we went
to Maurice's cafe where we danced
until 6 o’clock in the morning, re
turning home at 5:30.
"After Letellier had gone Billy
stayed back and he got down on his
knees and begged me to 'give Henri
the gate.’
"I pointed out to him that he had
r.o right to talk to me that way be
cause he was still married, telling
him that although I loved him dear
ly, I could not refuse the attentions
of other friends who had been sweet
to me.
“The Last Word.”
"Thereupon he said quietly:
“ 'Very well, Peggy, is that your
last wo#d7’ I said 'yes.' never dream
ing that it would be followed by such
a tragedy. Then he left and went
to his own room on the next floor.
"He must have shot himself almost
immediately, for they found him at
10 o'clock on the floor.
"He died Sunday night. I am
broken hearted. All the joy and hap
piness has left me. I never want to
see a dance place, hear a jazz band
or taste champagne again.
\ Peggy Intends to “Retire."
“I am just waiting here for the
funeral which 1 hope to attend. 1
mean to retire and live a quiet life
in the country and try to forget.”
Errazuriz' young wife was with her
husband when he died Sunday night.
Peggy’s story was given with sob
bing sincerity, refuting the gossip
around tho hotel that the Chilean
millionaire killed himself because re
verses in his fortune did not leave
him money enough to “travel with
Peggy and complete her chain of
millionaires.”
