at the Mansion House this afternoon.
The Assembly stood -while a declara

uonnring the establishment of an Irish,
republic and demanding; the evacuation

.A crowd of perhaps 10OO, Including

Only two policemen were visible, but
the Sinn Fein had its own police

Keep order.
Another crowd of different type was

LOXDOX. Jan. 21. fSpecial Cable.)
Lord French is today the absolute ruler
of Ireland, which practically has been
turned into a crown colony, says the
Dublin correspondent of the Daily
News.
Two very serious changes affecting
Nationalist Ireland are said to be in
contemplation, if they have not been
actually settled upon. They are the
abolition of the honorary magistracy,
with the placing of the entire adminis
tration of summary justice in the hands
of salaried magistrates and the en
forcement of the oath of loyalty upon
all persons receiving emoluments from
government funds..
At the present the oath of loyalty is
demanded only from civil servants
other than postoffice servants, but the
enforcement of the new proposal would
ring in such men as university pro
fessors. This course, if It is attempted,
will be most bitterly resented and re
Fisted. Viceroy French, howeevr. Is
c redited with favoring it, his view be
ing that almost anything can be toler
ated except disloyalty to the crown.
Xo interference need be expected
from Downing street, as before going
to the peace conference Lloyd George
washed his hands of Ireland and gave
the Viceroy carte blanche.
Propaganda which is particularly
damaging to the new Chief Secretary for
Ireland, Sir James Ian Macpherson,
among the Catholic body of the people
has heralded his appearance upon the
fcene. His record as to "maisons tol
crees" (licensed houses) in France has
provoked the biting gibe that it was
he who made the half-world safe for
democracy. Ian MacPherson when Un
der Secretary for War had certain pre
cautions taken to protect the morals
:ind health of the British troops in
France.

At Tacoma, about 10,000 metal trade
workers struck.
At Aberdeen and Hoquiam, on Grays

strike.
At Anacortes, 300 metal tradesmen
were said to be out and that many
more ship carpenters or other wood
workers operating the one yard.
The shipyard of the Pacific-American
Fisheries Company at Bellingham was
riot affected by the strike, no demands
having been made by the men.
At Olympia, the woodworkers at the
Sloan shipyard refused to strike. About
1050 men are said to be employed there.
Carpenters Seek Agreement.
The Puget Sound maritime district
council of carpenters, controlling body
ot the wood trades employed in ship
yards with jurisdiction over approxi
mately 8000 members in Washington,
voted today, 76 to 15, not to join the
metal trades strike. It was explained
that the international organization of
ihe United Brotherhood of Carpenters
and Joiners had taken up their wage
protest with the War Labor Board,
where the case was still pending, and
that the carpenters declined to strike
until a decision had been rendered. The
carpenters ask the same scale as the
metal trades, JS for skilled workers
and tb for helpers and laborers.
xao metal trades unions case was
decided through a. different body, the
-Macy board, a Federal wage adjustment
Board.
Today it was announced the carpen

MAKE YOUR SHOES

' Ten months ago, W. H. Kelley, a
lumber salesman of Omaha, had a pair
of shoes re-soled with Neolin Soles.
Mr. Kelley does much walking and has

"they are still good for another ten
months of wear."
Good shoe stores carry Neelin-soled

Opinions differ as to the outcome of

as to cause considerable alarm in some
quarters, as sympathetic action by
these two councils would almost
paralyze industry here.
Approximately 15,000 men are out to
night, carpenters, joiners and other
branches of the woodworkers in the
shipyards being forc-i out by the
strike. Machinists employed in the mu

The strike committee h&a issued a

ABERDEEN YARDS OPERATING
Woodworkers Refuse to Quit Posi
tions, as Predicted.
ABERDEEN, Wash., Jan. 21. (Spe

strike in Grays Harbor shipyards to
include all workers in the yards failed,
the carpenters, joiners and the wood
workers in the yards refusing to quit
work. As a result, the yards here con
tinue In operation.
The wood crafts unions have de
ferred action until tonight, when offi
cers of the union, who were in Seattle
last night to attend a district council
meeting, will present their report to
the locals.
The carpenters and Joiners are bound
by the rulings of the Puget Sound
Maritime Council in Seattle, and in turn
by their international headquarters in
Indianapolis. Without authorization
from the district council and interna
tional headquarters, the labor wood
workers will not strike.
The strike will be discussed by
building trades men also at the regu

CIVILIANS AID MILITARY
ECONOMIC PROBLEMS OF ARM
ISTICE TAKEN UP.
Arrangements Made for Relieving
Germany's Most Pressing Food
Jfeeds at Recent Conference.
BT HERBERT EATARD SWOFE.

PARIS. Jan. 21. (Soecial Cable.)
From now on civiliai policies, made by
civilians, will dominate in the further
terms which may be necessary In the
prolongation of the German armistice.
This does not mean that Marshal Foch
will not be the titular head of the
allied-American delegation, but that as
the problem becomes more and more
economic, political business is to be
handled by a body authorized by the
peace conference to which reports will
be made, and which will include ne
gotiations on the final peace conditions.
The amistice meeting on January 17
proved the need of broadening the deal-
ngs. As announced In these dispatches
ast week, the blockade has been brok
en, so far as food goes, but restrictions
still exist on commercial supplies. Ger
many's more pressing food needs are to
be filled by America and other coun
tries, which are to be paid for in cash.
Ships clearing with food cargoes are
being started toward German ports im
mediately, instead of waiting as at first
planned, until German vessels could
handle shipments. German merchant
men to be turned over to America and
the allies are passenger craft. Full
charges are to be paid on these ves
sels, the amounts thus accruing to be
placed to German credit in buying
food-

carefully allowing the Germans time to
read the new conditions. Some civilians
asked laxity but the military authori
ties declined to modify what they re
garded as proper usage.
Economic experts are to take ud
further dealings with the GeVmans. In
the meantime a commission of inquiry
is to be- sent to Germany. Later one
will be sent to Russia.

found that the man had been shot once
in the left wrist, once in the ankle, and
that the fatal bullet had entered under
his arm and coursed downward and
back, stopping at the back of his waist.
The body was removed to the morgue.
One of the letters in the man s clothes
was from Mrs. Catherine Rosenthal; 354
College street. Mrs. Rosenthal said she
had never seen the man. but that a man
living near some property she had
bought in Lents, whose name she did
not know, had told her that the man
had wanted to buy her property. She
wrote, in reply, asking the man to call
on her in person if he wanted to make
a deal.
Clew Is Sought.
Another letter was from the secretary
of the Ashland Commercial Club, ap
parently in reply to inquiries that the
man had made about farm property
near Ashland. Still another letter,
written in pencil and signed Cline, was
addressed to a woman at a local hotel.
At this hotel no such woman was reg
istered, and police are withholding the
name, believing that the woman may
be coming to meet the man, and that
they may get some clew.
At the assay office the man eaid his
name was J. H. Smith, but the ad
dress he gave 1909 Stevens avenue is
fictitious.
Some ten days ago, according to the
police, the man. giving his name as
Smith, called at the assay office, said
ho was a manufacturing jeweler, and
had a large quantity of broken Jewelry
melted up. It was when he came in
with a second supply of the etuff that
he assay people notified the police.
Fingerprints were taken of the man
after he had died, and police inspec
tors are making an effort to establish
his identity by them. The fact that
he had so much Jewelry, all broken
up, in his possession, and the addi
tional fact that much of it was in
itialed, -leads the police to believe that
he was a professional burglar."

MAJORITY SOCIALISTS IX LEAD
Results Seem to Indicate Establish
ment of Stable Government.
PARIS, Jan. 21. Early returns from
the German elections are interpreted
here to signify a promising prospect
for the establishment of a fairly stable
German administration.
The Majority Socialists and the Ger
man Democrats, who are the successors
of the old Radical party, apparently will'
go into the conitltuent assembly with
a big lead over the Independent Social
ists. Frederich von Payer, " former
Vice-Chancellor and leader of the Dem
crats, and the Socialist leaders, Ebert
and Scheidemann, demonstrated their
ability to work together in the old
Reichstag. They also can count on
Konstantin Fehrenbach, the Centrist
leader, as an ally.
The coming into power of these
groups will mean the continuation of
the present armistice commission and
the probable appointment of Scheide
mann, Von Payer and Fehrenbach or
Erzbcrger as the leading members of
the German peace delegation.
In Stettin, the Majority Socialists got
60,694, the Independent Socialists 8495,
the German Democrats 30.722. the Ger
man People's party 19,573. the German
National party 90S4 and the Ccntraists
2S2.
At Ludwigshafen the Majority Social
ists got 24.444. the Independent Social
ists 2540. the Centrists 7732. the Ger

In Franconta the Majority Socialists
polled 104,653 votes, the Independent

At Erfurt the Independents polled 24.
600 to 13,500 for the Majority Social
ists. The Independents, on the other
hand, were beaten badly in Dresden,
Chemnitz, Hamburg. Magdeburg, Nu
remburg and Munich.
The Majority Socialists appear to have
made big gains in East Prussia. In
Hanover and Bremen, the Socialists had
a large majority over the Independ
ents. In Leipsic, however, the Inde
pendent Socialists polled 195,000 votes
against 95,000 for the Majority Social
ists. COPENHAGEN, Jan. 21. Full returns
from the reports of Saxony, received
here from Dresden, show this result:
Majority Socialists 17 seats, German
Democrats 6, German National party 4,
German People's party 2, and Independ
ent Socialists 3.
The German National People's party
has elected eight delegates in Baden.
The Christian People's party, the former
'Centrists, elected five delegates. Three
delegates were elected by the German
Democrats and the Socialist Democrats
succeeded in electing five delegates.
Incomplete returns from the German
elections showed last night that the
Democrats polled 1.234.041 votes. Ma
jority Socialists 2,603.422: Independent
Socialists 401. 1S7. Christian People's
party 1.110,137, the German People's
party 26,157, and the Conservatives
467,367, according to advices received by
the Berlingske Tidende.
While the Majority Socialists will
have the ascendency over any other
single party, the results indicate the
Bourgeois parties together will have a
majority in the National Assembly.
The new German National Assembly
will meet at Weimar, capital of the
Grand Duchy of Ssxe-Weimar-Eisen
