THE OMAHA, rttlUAi, auuuoi o,
Meeting of Irish
Parliament Is
Called for Aur. 16
Irish Situation Takes Sensa
tional urn When De W
lera Decides to Call Dail
Ereann for Meeting.
By Th Asiotlated FrM.
London. Aug. 4. The Irish situa
tion took a sensational turn today
when it was announced in. Dublin
that Eanion De Valera and his as
sociates had decided to summon a
full meeting of the Irfsh Republican
Parliament to consider the British
government's Irish peace proposals.
The Dail e.mn will 'convene
Tuesday, August. 16, tlie Irish Bul
letin, the official republican organ,
announced 'tonight. ." .
It has been reported in Dublin that
the Dail Ereanrr would not be sum
moned until Ulster's attitude had
been learned, but coincident with the
calling of a meeting of this body
come conflicting reports from Dublin
and Belfast concerning Ulster's po
sition.
In Dublin it is reported that Ulster
has been sounded and has returned
an answer unfavorable to the Sinn
Fein overtures.
Cabinet Discusses Plan.
A dispatch to the Evening News
from Belfast today asserts that the
Ulster cabinet at this morning's
meeting discussed an invitation
from the Dail Ereann to Sir James
Craig, the Ulster premier, asking him
to attend a conference in Dublin
with a view to determining Ulster's
attitude. It adds that there is no
possibility, however, of another meet
ing between Sir James and Mr. De
Valera in Dublin, although the Ulster
premier is willing to meet the re
publican leader with Premier L.ioya
Ocorge in London.
Out of various conflicting reports,
however, arises the outstanding fact
that the Republican Parliament is to
meet, which is taken to mean un
doubtedly that Mr. De Valera will
give a reply to Mr. Lloyd George in
the immediate future.
Will Release Prisoners.
The call for the meeting of the
Parliament, with all members pres
ent, involves the release from prison
of 25 members of this body, and it
has been declared the government is
willing to facilitate their attendance.
The belief had been expressed
among the Irish leaders that there
was no use in summoning the Par
liament Until the attitude of Ulster
had been finally defined.
..The inference in political circles
here, therefore, is -that the answer of
Ulster has been, received. " " '
London" Uninforrried. '.'
Official quarters in London know
of no communications having been
passed between De Valera and the
northern cabinet, but it was under
stood from another source that
.Premier Lloyd George, after con
ferring with Sir James in London
this week, sent a. message to Mr.
,De Valera- which might account for
the calling of the Dail.
The British cabinet already had
reached a decision regarding the re
lease of members of the Dail itnr
prisoned or in detention camps, and
it is understood that Dublin castle
is free to release them as it thinks
fit. Members who have been on
the run are understood to have re
, turned to their homes in order that
they may receive their summons.
Portion of Mail
Loot Recovered
Pouch Stolen From North
Wood River, 111., Found
In Cornfield.
St. Louis, Aug. 4. An unopened
mail pouch containing part of the
money obtained by three bandits who
early today held up Tommy Feraldo,
a postoftice messenger' at North
Wood River, 111., was found in a
cornfield near Peters, 111., 10 miles
from the scene.
The pouch containing' the money
was found by Chief of Police Clark
of Granite City, 111., after he had
been searching the cornfield for trace
of the bandits since noon. The
pouch was hidden under tangled
vines within several hundred yards
of where a stolen automobile used
by the robbers was found.
Early reports were that the total
amount taken would reach $60,000.
Advices from officials of the First
State and Savings bank and the First
National bank at North. Wood River,
to which the money was being sent
by the St. Louis Federal Reserve
bank, however, were that $46,000
was the total of the consignments.
Contents of two other rifled
pouches found near the abandoned
automobile, however, were unknown.
" The robbery occurred shortly after
7 o'clock this morning. Feraldo had
just taken a number of pouches of
mail from a Cincinnati, Chicago,
Cleveland & St. Louis train arriving
Jrom St. Louis, loaded them into a
push cart, and with his 14-year-old
son, started to the postoffice, three
blocks away. Three men jumped
from an automobile a short distance
from the station and covering him
with revolvers, selected three of the
mail pouches and drove away. Quick
ly organized posses searched the
surrounding country, finding the
cbandoned automobile about noon
and the hidden pouch shortly before
6 p. m.
Freight Traffic Through "
Sault Ste. Marie Canals Off
Sault Ste. Marie, Mich., Aug. 4.
Freight passing through the Amer
ican and Canadian canals here dur
ing July- totalled approximately
4,000,000 tons less than for the same
month last year, according to the
' monthly tonnage report. The traffic
' aggregated 8,138,583 tons. The great
est decrease in freight tonnage was
in ore shipments, 4,356,760 tons, or
less than half the amount carried
eastward in July, 1920, being hauled
last month. This, however, was an
increase of 1,000,000 tons over June
-of this year.
Coal, grain and lumber shipments
were heavier than a year ago. The
increase in tunfber shipments were
3,000.000 feet, the total for last
month being 36,414,000 feet-

K.of C.to Spend
$2,50,000 For
Ex-Soldier Aid
Men in Government Hospitals
--To Be Provided With Com-
forts and Recreation
By Lodge.
San ' Francisco," Aug. ' 4. Announcement''-that''
(jie'-Knight's of
Columbus would expend approxi
mately $2,500,000 on hospitalization
work for disabled ex-service men,
was. niade at the final session of
the annual international Knights 'or
Columbus convention . here by. Supreme-Secretary
William J Mc-,
Ginley.
"This decision has 'been reached
fallowing an arrangement with the
United States public health service,
whereby the Knights of Columbus
will go into government military
and marine hospitals, to provide the
disabled men with comforts and rec
reation," he said. "We shall also
maintain such vocational training
schools as. we are already conduct
ing for the benefit of shell-shocked
men."
Knights of Columbus secretaries,
experienced in war work, will " be
attached to the larger hospitals.
The Knights, Mr. McGinley added,
will continue their 500 college and
university courses during the forth
coming year, and the chain of 132
Knights of Columbus night voca
tional schools for veterans and civi
lians also will be maintained.
It was also announced that the
aid of Maurice Egan, former United
States minister to Denmark, Dr.
James J. Walsh and Conde B. Fal
len of New. York would be enlisted
in promoting the Knights of Colum
bus celebration of the centennial.
These men, the announcement said,
will be asked to deliver lectures in
principal cities throughout the coun
try. Chicago Man Believed

Warsaw. Posen and several Italian
cities. Deposit slips for vast sums
were found among his papers and it
is believed he had planned to flee to
Europe and prevent creditors from
obtaining judgment against him. De
posit slips show he has $500,000 in
Polish banks alone. A deposit of
$7,000 was found in a Milwaukee
bank.
One of the strongest links in the
chain that is .being welded around
the conspirators was made possible
by the arrest of Albert M. Gold
smith, owner of a New York busi
ness . college. Goldsmith had sent
$355 worth of "washed" revenue
stamps to Worthington by special
delivery. New Xork , officials . say
Goldsmith disposed of thousands of
t'ollars worth of stolen securities for
Worthington.
Secret service men and local
police at Los Angeles have been
asked to arrest a mysterious "Marie"
and the St. Louis operatives are
asked to pick up an equally myster
ious "Pauline,"
. Federal authorities- intercepted a
personal letter from "Marie" to
Worthington. Its contents were
not revealed, but they led the authori
ties to believe she is ?n active agent
for Worthington. She is believd to
be the original of a large photograph
seized when his office was raided.
The clew to "Pauline" was also
obtained through intercepted letters.
The letter from "Marie" contained a
reference to "Pauline" and it is be
lieved both these women were work
ing for and with Worthington.

thority under the statute passed in
1917, the defect of which I have
noted. .;, ,
No Power to Supervise.
With ,the exception of the
Pione"er State bank and the Lion
Bonding company, none of these
concerns was under the direction or
control of the state any more than
was the business of any private citi
zen, nor did any state department
have any right ' to examine their
books or investigate them.
"Whatever may be the law, how
ever, it should be understood at the
outset that .we cannot legislate wis
dom into the minds of investors; we
cannot make the foolish wise by
means of a statute;' we cannot pre
vent corporate frauds by means of
state supervision,' any more than we
can prevent highway robbery by
maintaining a police force.
"The frauds that have been per
petrated in Nebraska, are not pri
marily frauds in the sale of stocks
to the public. They are frauds in
the use of corporate money. They
have been committed from the in
side. Instead of calling them mis
management, they should be labeled
larceny, conspiracy to defraud and
embezzlement.
Directors Responsible.
"In many cases, the directors are
morally as responsible as the cul
prits. The most gross neglect of
directory duty is- apparent. Appar
entlv the word has signified merely
a title, an "Honor" and the use of
a name. I hope, to make it a syn
onym for responsibility.
There is a promising sign that
the public mind on these corporate
matters is beginning to be aroused.
The business conscience of Nebraska
is beginning to awaken.
I am encouraged by this desire
of our better citizens to raise . a
higher standard of corporate morals.
For the last two years, I have :s-
sued repeated warnings, have deliv
ered numerous addresses, and have
filled columns of the daily press,
outlining the dangers of these pro
motion enterprises, and the possi
bility of mismanagement which they
offer. When will our people learn
that oil companies with no oil men
in them; packing companies with no
packers; tire companies with no tire
men, are doomed at the outset. That
they are promotions and not busi
nesses, and that they do not add to
the development of business.
Nebraska is now paying for the
debauch of promotion upon which
it embarked in 1918 and 1919. and in
which some of its most prominent
citizens prostituted their names for
pieces of gold. But the tide has now
turned. A sadder and wiser public
r.ow reach outstretched arms to the
law for that vindication of justice
which the courts alone provide.
lhe time and opportunity are
here to rid Nebraska of many of
these economic parasites. In some
cases the evidence is so clear that I
would be justified in filing a com
plaint, but my investigation shows
the lineg of evidence so widespread
and the number of . people concerned
so vast that I believe the inquisitorial
power of a grand jury (which I do
not, possess) should be set at work,
that nothing may be left undone and
no stone unturned to bring to the
bar of justiceoth those who con
ceived and connived, as well as those
who executed this plundering of the
public. May I therefore request you,
the presiding judge , of this judicial
district, to call at the earliest possible
moment' a meeting 'of the district
judges, at which meeting I may dig-
cuss with you the immediate im
panelling of a special grand jury. I
may add that I have consulted with,
and we can expect, the most com
plete harmony and co-operation from
the United btates district attorney
and the Federal Department of Jus
tice should any evidence disclose
crimes committed against the laws of
the United States.

Harding Hopeful
Of Disarmament
Confab, He Says
President Feels Example
. United States May Lead
All Nations to Per
manent Peace.
Lancaster. N. H., Aug. 4. Con
fidence that the American institu
tions are more firmly implanted than
ever before and that in the near fu
ture America's example will lead all
the nations to permanent peace was
expressed by President Harding to
day in an address at a welcome
demonstration in Lancaster.
The coming disarmament confer
ence, the president said, gave prom
ise of an international agreement
that would end wars and turn the at
tention of mankind to constructive
and beneficial pursuits.
He asked for the support of the
American people in the government's
trial over the reconstruction period
and pledged in return that the ad
ministration would serve the nations
to is highest ability.
Spoke from Auto.
The president's speech was de
livered from his automobile in Con
tinental Square here to a crowd of
several thousand who had come to
bid him welcome to the White
Mountain country. He was cheered
many times while he was speaking
and after he concluded the crowd
broke police lines to crowd about
him and shake his hand.
"Today I stood on Mount Pros
pect and saw a wonderful picture,"
said the president. In some of the
valleys there were clouds and signs
of storm bedimming our vision, but
above the peaks rose serene and un
troubled. And while I gazed my
mind turned to the affairs of men
and I said, with some comfofrt to
myself, that though the clouds may
bedim, we need not lose confidence,
for I believe with all my heart that,
no matter what bedims the picture,
we of America ', have a God-given
destiny fo perform ' which nothing
on earth will ever prevent.
"In a century and a third we of
the United States have outstripped
every record of civilization in the
history of this world. This republic,
which had its beginnings in a little
group of colonies, now is conceded
the leadership of the world.
-Must End Warfare.
"The story ' of the world is one
stage after another of developing
warfare until we of this generation
have witnessed the most gigantic
conflict of all time. The cost of the
conflict' . was so great that wc are
coming to have a consciousness and
determination that the whole devel
opment has been wrong and that ac
quisition by might is unjust. '
"We of this country and all the
world are resolved today that war
fare ought to come to an end.
"I am happy to bring you word
that your government is doing all it
can to have a conference at which
the representatives of the nations can
look each other in the eye and work
together for a way to remove the
causes of war and put an end to cost
ly armament. I believe we shall suc
ceed." Keterring to Ins conferences at
Washington with leaders of various
national groups, the president as
serted that his contact with these
men had deepened his confidence in
the soundness of American public
opinion. He told how he had re
ceived a letter suggesting that he
behead all those who had more
than their share of wealth and con
tinued:
Work for Best Interests.
"I have never believed that to be
the mission of this republic. I won
der what wealth is; I like to think of
the leader in the community as the
man to whom those about him turn
for counsel and advice. That's the
great man of America, no matter
how you measure his wealth.
"In the past few weeks I have had
an opportunity to meet many such
leaders; leaders of capital, of labor
and of the other groups that make
up the nation. And I want to say
to you that there is not one in any
group who deep in his heart does
not want to preserve our America
and continue its onward course.
Those who are suspected most some
times are the most generous of all
in their tenders of help to those in
authority.
Sometimes you think your govern
ment is not alert, bur let me tell you
and I care not what party is in
power your government is always
trying to serve you as best it can.
You can't be told everything that's
going on that is iiot a practical
plan but it is fair to tell you that
your public servants are honestly,
and to the best of their ability, try
ing to promote the fortunes of our
common country."
Copper Is "Dad" to Kids;
He Gives Them a Picnic
Birmingham, Ala., Aug. 4. Most
cops dislike the kids on their
"beats" as violently as they do the
stray dogs, but here's one who just
as "violently" likes his youngsters.
He knows every one-of them, of
which there are 150, by name and
they know him as "Dad" Arm
strong. On Sunday morning "Dad" may
be off duty, but he manages to get
around to the home of each to see
that he is started to Sunday school
on time. They may choose their
own denomination,' but go they
must.
And now Dad Armstrong comes
forward with the announcement
that he is going to give his boys a
picnic. His beat is mostly a tene
ment district. Auto'dealers and con
fectioners will contribute 'transpor
tation and the turns and Dad will
spend a whole day with his ISO boys
in one ot the city parks.
Elks to Hold Picnic
Omaha Elks and their families
will hold a picnic at Peony park
on the West Dodge road, August
24. Secretary Otto Nielsen and a

letic events will be staged at 5 p. m.
The Elks band will give a concert
after the dinner hour, to be followed

Armistice Day Is
Probable Date of
Disarmament Meet
Britain's Willingness to Accept
Day Leads to Proposal by
U. S. That Nov. 11

Washington, Aug. 4. Great
Britain's willingness to accept any
date the Washington administration
might desire for the opening of the
forthcoming disarmament conference
has led to the definite suggestion of
November" 11, Armistice day, of this
year as an appropriate occasion
Jt was learned that American of
ficials had put the original suggestion
of Armistice day into definite form
for all the invited powers and await
acknowledgment from abroad.
Officials would not indicate today
just how much progress has been

but unofficially jt is known they con

An admittedly delicate aspect of

Harding Defends
Policies of U. S.
Reserve Board
Cessation of Pessimism AH
That Is Needed for Good
Times, Governor of
Body Says.
Washington, Aug. 4. Credit poli
cies of the federal reserve system
continued under examination of a
congressional commission today, in
continuously stormy atmosphere,
with Governor Harding of the re
serve board as witness.
"The federal reserve board didn't
create this financial depression.
Governor Harding exclaimed. "It
saw it coming and got ready to pro
tect things, and people ought to be
grateful it did. Now all we need is
cessation of pessimism, which marks
bad times as foolish: optimism marks
good times. We all know now ev
erybody was going crazy in the
boom during the tall of 1919.
Ihis situation is going to work
out. There's no comparison between
the condition a year ago and condr
tions today. Take cotton, with a
low yield, and exports picking up.
Banks are fully justified now in
carrying loans
"All we've got to do is to get out
of everlasting pessimism, and quit
saying everything is going to the
dogs. Why, a man has to put up
a good cheerful face if he wants
credit. You can't talk to the bank
er like vou do to the tax assessor."
Previously a sharp passage had
taken place in which Representative
funk, republican, Illinois; Kcpresea -
tative Mills, republican, New York,
and later Governor Harding partici
pated.
Mills Gets in Fray.
"I'm keenly disappointed," Repre
sentative Funk said. "Because the
reserve system has been challenged,
rnmnlai'ned of criticized and rharced
on one ground, that it has discrim-
mated against agriculture ....
And we've not heard one word from
this witness.
- Representative Mills leaped to the
frav. assertine that the commission
had "allowed Tohn Skelton Williams.
former comptroller of the currency,
to make charge after charge" against
the reserve board, "and that Governor
Harding was entitled to common jus-,
tice" in the privilege of a detailed re
sponse
Mr. Funk told Mr. Mills to "handle
your own affairs, and I'll handle
mine, while chairman Anderson rul
ed that the governor was within his
riRhts
Has the reserve board called in
farm credits?" Mr. Funk demanded
later.
"No sir, it never has," Governor
Hardini retorted.
"How about the circulars of the
San Francisco reserve bank?" Mr.
Funk continued, "concerning the
price of wheat in 1920."
News to Harding.
"I never heard that before," Gov
ernor Harding said. "Did it cause
a break in' wheat prices?"
"It had' some effect," Mr. Funk
responded.
"The board has cautioned reserve
banks not to issue circulars," Gov
ernor Harding continued. 'It's the
job of a banker to look to the value
of his collateral, but to do it in a
quiet way. It is not the function
of the reserve system to regulate
prices, up or down, but to maintain
credits.
Iri general, Mr. Harding said, the
attitude ;of the reserve board toward
agriculture has been greatly misun
derstood and grossly misrepresented.
Giving the history of increases of
rediscount rates in 1919 and' 1920,
Governor Harding asserted ' that
Mr. Williams, one of its chief critics.
had participated in the rulings. The
ideal system, he said, would be to
maintain rediscount rates just above
market rates on money, thus avoid
ing inflation, and yet ottering prac
tically unlimited credit.
Legal limitations, he held, govern
ed the board at all times and -the
matter of credit policies ought and
did center on 12 district reserve
banks.

Mellon Declares
U.S. Must Curtail
Its Expenditures
Secretary of Treasury Tells
Committee Must Save
$250,000,000 This Year
Or Raise Taxes.
Washington, Aug. 4. A cut of
more than $250,000,000 in the ordi
nary expenditures of the government
this fiscal year is necessary if addi
tional taxes are to be avoided, the
house ways and means committee
was informed today by Secretary of
the .treasury Mellon. On present es
I timates, he said, the total government
cost this year will be $4,550,000,000.
of which $3,830,000,000 must come
from taxation.
Even with the sutrzested rcduc
tions, Mr. Mellon said, the internal
revenue yield for the year "could not
sately . be permitted to fall below
$3,570,000,000, the estimated yield un
1 der existing law.
The treasury secretary told the
committee that actual expenditures
for the first full month of this fiscal
year indicated that unless there was
"an extraordinary new effort to re
duce expenditures," the estimate
which the treasury had presented,
might be regarded as conservative,
Ordinary expenditures for July, he
sad. amounted to about $322,000,000
as against $307,000,000 for July, 1920,
wnne tne current deficit last month
was $113,000,000 as against $76,000,
in tne same month a year ago,
An analysis of the principal
'Jerns of expenditure for July, 1921,"
I ' secretary continued, snows mat
$59,000,000 was on account of the
vvar department, $so,uuu,uuu on ac
count of the navy and $32,000,000 on
account of the shipping board. If
expenditures are to continue at any
thing like these rates, these estimates
will be greatly exceeded."
