i
Members of Irish Parliament
Divide Time Between Secret
Sessions of Dail Eireann
And Committee Meet.
Dublin, Aug. 2J.-(By The As
sociated rresj.) Members of the
Irish Republican Parliament, gathered
here to frame the reply of that body
to the British government's offer of
dominion status for Ireland, divided
their activities today between the
secret session of the Parliament and
a meeting of the executive cqmmktee
of the Sinn Fein.
The meetings of the two bodies
were held in the Mansion House and
it was believed both would concern
themselves with the attitude tiken by
the Irish republicans toward the
terms laid down by Prime Minister
Lloyd George as the basis of a settle-
uirnt of the Irish controversy.
Considerable speculation was
caused here last night by the deliv
ery of a message to Mr. Dc Valera
by Monsignor Edward Mulhera,
bishop of Dromorc. It was assert
ed the message had not come from
Cardinal. Logue, head of the Catholic
church in Ireland, but there was no
futtrer information relative to the
"highest authority."
Clergy Opposes Break.
Shortly after the Dail Eireann,
conferred, it. was declared in some
quarters that the Irish clergy was
urging such action by the Parlia
ment that would preclude resumption
of warfare between the republican
forces and the British soldiery or
onstahularv.
An interesting fact in connection
with today's meeting of the Sinn Fern
executive is that while all the nicm
I bers of the Dail Eireann have per
mission to attend the sessions of the
Dail in the Mansion House there
are many members of the Sinn Fein
body who are "on. the run." their
cases not being covered by the im
munity given the Dail members and
some of them being men whom tht
crown forces have been seeking for
weeks, and even months.
Heroes Are Acclaimed. -
The influence of the civil adminis
trators at Dublin Castle and of oth
ers in the Irish office who are mak
ing all efforts to secure peace in Ire
land, was expected, however, to in
sure against any interference with
these men by the military authori
ties. Public interest in the popular
heroes of the Irish republican army
is continuing unabated and they are
being acclaimed everywhere they go.
Much attention, as is given them,
however, seems to be palling upon
the principal chiefs, and much of the
time of such men as Michael Collins,
commander-in-chief of the Irish re
publican army; John J. Walsh, popu
larly known as the "jail breaker;"
Austen Stack, minister for home af
fairs in the Dail cabinet, and others
of the leaders is taken np with ef
forts to escape the. hero worship-

A. F. L Drafting ,
Policy to Serve
As Labor's Guide
Thorough and Scientific In
vestigation of Entire Field
Of Modern Industry
Will Be Made.
Atlantic City, Aug. 23. The execu
tive councit of the American Federa
tion of Labor today started work on
the drafting of a policy to serve as
a guide for the, labor movement of
America. A thorough and scienti
fic investigation of the entire field of
modern industry will be ordered, it
is stated, and the results of this in
quiry will form the" basis of the new
policy. The inquiry was ordered at
the recent Denver convention.
"No investigators or students have
undertaken a more fundamental in
quiry or inquiry of greater meaning,"
said Samuel Gompers, president of
the federation.
The council had before it today a
report of a committee which conduct
ed an investigation to determine the
possibility of "co-ordinating the pres
ent educational institutions and ac
tivities conducted under the auspices
of organized labor." This commit
tee also investigated "the strength of
demand for a central labor university
which may be developed among the
affiliated unions."
Wage reductions, labor leaders
say, are being accepted by the unions
under protest and the question of en
couraging the organized workers to
strike will not be considered.

Hostilities Will
Not Be Permitted
American Rote Is In Response
To Ouc Saying Force Would
Be Used to Resist
' Costa Rica.
Washington, Aug. 23. The Amer
ican State department in a note for
warded to Panama yesterday stated
emphatically that the United States
would not permit any hostilities
growing out of the occupation of the
Coto region by Costa Rica.

today, was in response to a commu
nication from the Panama govern
ment indicating that if Costa Rica
should attempt to rcoccupy the dis
puted territory force would be used
in resisting unless the United States
made it clear that the American gov
ernment would prevent it.

ciated Press.) Panama's reply to the
latest note from Secretary of State
Hughes, in which Panama was told

possibly will be delivered on Wed
nesday. Although it is generally reported

ing possible Costa Rican occupation

ficial declarations here indicate that
troops have been dispatched only to
Divid, a town some distance from the

ment, it is understood, will await fur
ther advices from Washington before
taking any decided steps.

THEY FORESAW THE FUTURE
V ' T JcJ
Writing in the Omaha Exam
iner, Alfred Sorenson, the well
known Omaha historian, says:
Omaha's growth and pros
perity can be well gauged by
the increase of room that is
from time to time-demanded
by the. leading mercantile
houses and other establish
ments to keep pace with the
steady development of trade.
Fifteen years ago J. L. Bran
dels & Sons found that their
building, known as the Boston
Store, was too small to accom
modate their growing business,
and havinc the greatest confi
dence In Omaha's future they purchased the opposite corner, on
which stood the Young Men's Christian Association building, and
the property adjoining on the west The buildings on this ground,
covering half a block, with a frontage on three streets, were torn
down, and on this site was erected a substantial and handsome
eight-story structure. Some wise men of the west, bearing the
conservative brand, claimed that this enterprise was far ahead of
the town and of the times, and was a risky venture. That was in
1906, the year the building was completed. At first only three
floors were occupied by J. L. Brandeis & Sons, the upper floors
being given over to professional and business offices.
"Today, fifteen years later, with two stories added, the ten-story
building is necessary to provide room for the business of this es
tablishment, which has become one of the most attractive show
places in Omaha. The office tenants have moved out and the former
offiee floors have been converted into rooms each half a block wide
and a block long, each floor being devoted to a department. To
the selling space in this mammoth store there have been added
243,936 square feet more room than was provided in the building
of 1906.
"The enlarged building has been arranged so that it will house
all the important departments and afford for the display of mer
chandise an excellent opportunity, which, of course, will be taken
advantage of by experts. The men's clothing department, which
has for many years occupied the Boston Store building, now leased
to other parties, is being moved to the fourth floor of the enlarged
structure, and will size up with any of the largest men's clothing
departments in the United States. Trunks and bags will also be
found on this floor. Men's furnishings will occupy a large and con
venient space on the ground floor. - The women's shoe department
is on the third floor, together with the hairdressing parlors. Wall
paper goes to the fifth floor, west end, and the balance of the
space is occupied by china, glassware, crockery, house furnishings
and hardware. Carpets, rugs, draperies, and pictures are on the
sixth floor. During the holidays the eighth floor will be used for
a mammoth display of toys to the great delight of the juveniles.
Later, the seventh and eighth floors will be devoted to the new fur
niture department, which is to be the most complete and best
equipped furniture store in the middle west. ,The ninth floor will
be used for stock rooms and receiving rooms.
"The tenth floor will have the new dining room, men's grill room
and ladies waiting room. These will be opened in September. This
floor will be a revelation to the public. Those who have seen the
plans and others who have watched the work nearing completion
agree that the restaurant and rest rooms on the tenth floor of the
Brandeis Stores will be the most beautiful and the most complete
of any similar rooms in any section of the country. Many other im
provements ar going on in this great mercantile establishment One
of these is the large aisle to be constructed through the store di
rectly to the Brandeis Theater elevators. This will prove a great
convenience to those desiring to enter the store from Seventeenth
street. .'
"Thus it will be seen that as far back as 1906 the Brandeis
Stores managers took time by the forelock and foresaw the future
and provided for the coming events that cast their shadows be
fore. They paid no heed to the overcautious and too conservative
wise men of the west."
