British Plan to
Turn Government
Over to Ireland
l'rcMure of PuMic Opinion
Exprcted to Force Rati
fication of Treaty hy
. Dail.,
By JOHN STEELE. .
London, Drr. 28 So confident are
the llritihh that the Irish will ratiiy
the treaty of peace that all through
Christina committee, ministers and
exnerti have been iittinsr at White
Hall wwkinif out the details of I
plan for the immediate handing over
ot all branches of the government in I
Ireland to the new Irish provisional
government. Among the tuiniMe
who have been bimv at this work a
Winston Churchill. Worthington
l-vaiu. Sir Robert Home and 1
MacNamara.
I Downing ttreet advice from Ire
land indicate that the ratiiicationi.st
are ateadily eaiuinir uronrid in th
dail owing to the pressure of pttbl
opinion and that ratification is now
insured of a substantial majority
next week after all the member
have spoken, explaining their vote
De 'Valcra May Yield.
It if reported from Dublin that
Eamon de Valera may bow to th
inevitable even before the dail reas
scmbles and withdraw his opposition
to the treaty. It is thought possible
he may be induced to do this by the
f hope of being able to continue as the
' head of the state and to take part in
the framing of the new constitution
but in the present temper of the
Irish people there is no doubt they
would be better pleased if he retired
altogether or at any rate contentet
himself with leading the parlia
nientary o-positioti.

' Yesterday was regorded m southern
and western Ireland as the beginning
of truce week, which is to be de
voted to bringing public pressure to

petition from all classes of his con
stituents has been sent to Dr. Patrick
McQuartan, former representative of
the dail in the United States, im
ploring him actively to support the
treaty, instead, as he has announced
his intention of merely abstaining
frm cither voting for or against it,
' Boland Returns Home.
i New York, Dec. 28. Harry I
Boland, Irish "envoy" to America
and member of the dail eireann, ex
pressed opposition to the peace treaty
with Ureal Britain on departinb yes
terday for Dublin to take part in the
voting for acceptance or rejection of
the pact.
"As I have read it in press dis
patches, I am against it," he said,
because in my. opinion,. it will not
bring peace between , Ireland and
England." -r

fully Planned.
Chicago, Dec. 28. Abraham I.u-
terski and his wife were worth $20,-
(XH), probably more than that, but
despite their ages, 64 and oO, they
continued at work. Luberski was a
watchman at $17 a week and his
aged wife earned $10 a week a a
scrub woman. Monday night Mrs.
Luberski remained at home for the
first time in months and yesterday
her husband was found dead in
Sttrnstein Bros.' factory, his head
hacked open with a hatchet which
had been tossed beside the body.
The police believe he was slain for a
paltry $35 he carried to pay the
house rent and that the crime was
carefully planned.
Until a few years ago the Luber-
skis lived on a farm at jingle, Tenn.
They ' sold their share in the farm
for $20,000 cash, which they deposit
ed in two- banks. This tact was
known to several persons, some of
whom may have thought the old man
carried a larger amount of money
with him.
Minneapolis, Dec. 28. Declared by
the authorities to have confessed,
Earl Slater, alias W. L. McDonough.
was brought to Minneapolis yester
day from Blue Earth, Minn., where
he was arrested yesterday in conne:
tion with the death of Frank L. Kelly
of Mankato, whose charred body was
found Thursday in the ruins of a
school house near here.
Police say Slater has a prison rec
ord, having served in the Iowa state
penitentiary in 1917. 1918 and 1919
for engineering a jail delivery at Dav
enport, la., but this is denied by his
wiie, living at Winnebago.
. On the pretense that a quantity of
liquor was cashed in the school
house and could be obtained and sold
for considerable profit. Slater lured
Kelly, a former state legislator, to
the building, according to the alleged
confession, and after taking $20 in
cash and a check for $150 from him,
started away.
Kelly opened fire on Slater, ac
cording to the latter's alleged state
ment. Slater returned the fire and
Kelly was shot, dying instantly.
Slater then piled shavings about the
body, sprinkled it with kerosene and
ignited it.
Slater will be -arraigned at once on
a charge ot tirst degree murder,
W. A. Blanchard, county attorney of
Anoka county, said last night.

Millionaire-Janitors

The excluHive millionaire-janitor

tan is splitting: up. A the mil
lionaires move in, the janitors are
moving out.
The reason is largely social; but
it is not that the skyscraper home
with its elaborate aerial bungalows
and roof gardens is becoming too
exclusive for the janitors. The
trouble is that despite the influx
of millionaires, the district has not
enough social tone to suit the fain-'
ily of the modern big building
janitor, who wears the title of
"building superintendent." ,
J. II. Jlernon, department man
ager of a large downtown realty
management ccmpaiy, said today
it was becoming harder and harder
to find resident superintendents to
occupy the apartments that niost
of the older skyscrapers maintain
for that purpose.
"The type of men taking these
jobs is becoming higher and liigh-'
cr," he said, "as the comtdexities
of big building operation increase.
That means' that the wives have
social ambitions that they feel they
cannot gratify down here in the
business district. They prefer to
live uptown or in a more exclu
sive suburb."

Elite Milliner Weds,
Divorces Seven Men to
Beat Pasbport Laws
Geneva, Dec. 28,--Mrriage, is
for a woman, the solution of t'ie
problem of getting passport to
aiious European countries, the
difficulties of which became almost
insuperable after the war, a
Lucerne business woman has dis
covered. Uel'ore the war this woman, who
is well educated and good looking,
earned some $10,000 a year by ob
taining orders for millinery and
furs from royalty and aristocracy ,
in the several capitals of Europe,
to which she traveled. The war
and - post-war passoprt difficulties
hurt her business.
She then formed the plan of
marrying men of different nation
alities and paying them to let her
divorce them as soon as she had
established a passport in her new
