TI1E UrORXIXG - OREGOXIAN, SATURDAY, 3IAT 17, 1919. IRISH-flMER CANS TO PLEAD WITH WILSON Delegation to Leave London for Paris Today. HOME RULE IS NOT ENOUGH Friends or Ireland Demand Com plete Independence British Pronouncement Expected. BY JOSEPH "W. GRIGG. Copyright by the New York World. Pub lished by arrangement.) LONDON", May 16. (Special cable.) Immediately on returning to Paris Frank P. Walsh and his conferees of the Irish-American delegation, who will leave for France in the morning, will -seek the assistance of President Wilson to secure a hearing for Ireland at the peace conference. This statement was made to the World and Oregonian correspondent to night by Mr. Walsh, who said: 'If De Valera and the other Irish representatives are unable to get safe conduct to Paris, then we will remain in Paris to secure Justice for Ireland before the league of rations. If De Valera is able to go to Paris we will depart for America immediately upon his arrival." Home Rule Not Kiongh. Mr. Walsh says a dominion home-rule will not satisfy Ireland. "It wants complete independence," he declared. The ultra-tory press and some tory members of parliament are still raging about the speeches which Mr. Walsh and his fellow delegates made In Ire land. Speaking of the criticism which their actions evoked, Mr. Walsh said: "When our passports were granted there was no stipulation that we were not to speak. If there had been we would not have gone on such condi tions. But if De Valera and the duly elected representatives of the Irish people had requested us not to make speeches in Ireland we would not have done so. We followed the methods of open diplomacy."- British Statement Expected. Mr. Walsh said the delegation had never requested an interview with Lloyd George and if they could have landed in Ireland direct from America they would have done so. Although the Morning Post and the Carsonites enjoy the temporary satis faction of knowing that the premier will not see the delegates, there are few tories who see any protracted post ponement of a governmental declara tion of policy toward Ireland, now that the American delegation has so ab ruptly focused public attention upon Ireland. THIEF FALLS INTO TRAP Mike Denbitz Arrested on Charge of Looting Hotel Room. The ancient custom of tying a, cord to one's toe and then to the door knob to warn a person of the approach of an intruder was portrayed yesterday by John Furra of the Jefferrjon hotel. 225 Jefferson street, and Mike K: Deubitz is in the city jail charged with larceny as result of the trap set for him. For some time a mysterious prowler has been robbing rooms at the hotel, according to the police, and several days ago Furra missed expensive ar icles of wearing apparel. Although suspicion pointed strongly in one- di rection victims of the thief could not detect him in the act. Last night Furra tied a cord to the bureau drawer and connected it with a bell at the office. While he was at work the slumbers of Y. Mimura. man ' ager of the hotel, were disturbed by the harsh clanging of the bell. The police were notified and Deubitz, was taken into custody. When arrested, it is alleged, the prisoner was wearing a new pair of shoes owned by Furra and other articles of wearing apparel owned by F. A. Martin. the eventful day when the Turks are to be reckoned with in a peace treaty is indicated by the fact that British, French, American, Italian and Greek warships, with landing parties, have begun a great concentration at Smyrna, Asia Minor. Allied troops also are be ing massed at Saloniki. The concen tration at Smyrna is connected with the mandate given Greeoe by the peace conference to administer the affairs of the Turkish seaport, while the. belief is expressed in Paris that the massing at Saloniki is connected with the en forcement of the peace terms to be presented to the Ottomans, which, it Is thought, probably will include a de mand that the Turks leave Europe. The Chinese cabinet is reported to have tendered" its resignation, which President Hsu. Shlh Chang is said to have declined to accept. Vienna advices report that many per sons have been killed in clashes be tween Serbs" and Croats at Agram, capital of Croatia.

' Commander Coil, who' commanded the C-5 on the flight here from Montauk Point, which is believed to have been the longest non-stop ' cruise ever made by a non-rigid balloon, said he had given up hope of salvaging the "ship."

Opening statements of counsel in the libel suit of Henry Ford against the Chicago Tribune occupied the entire day in Judge Tucker's court. "Wey mouth Kirkland, of counsel for - the Tribune, who spoke in the afternoon. had not concluded when court adjourned nntu next Monday. He will resume then, after which the question of scope of evidence will be argued by counsel. Former Judge Alfred J. Murphy, of counsel for the plaintiff, occupied the forenoon in etating his case, in the course of which he alleged that the Tribune's advocacy of intervention in Mexico was due to pro-Germanism and a desire to aid the International Har vester company and the Standard Oil company. Mr. Ford's Claims Ridiculed. Mr. Kirkland, In his remarks, ridi culed these claims and claimed not only justification of its comment on Mr. Ford in which he was called an anarchist and accused of ignorance, but asserted that as Mr. Ford's wealth, position and pacifist - propaganda had made . him a public character, it was the plain duty of the. newspaper to call him..- to ac count for a policy, that, in the Trib une's opinion, would render the country impotent while Europe was in flames and anarchy reigned south, of the Rio Grande. . Mr. Kirkland referred to General Pershing and to Marshal Haig and Generalissimo Foch as among the sol diers on whom Mr. Ford would em blazon the word "murderer. He was on the subject of the military career of Colonel R. R. McCormick. publisher of the Tribune, when the point came up. Origin ( Editorial Told. "McCormick got to be a lieutenant- colonel," said Attorney Kirkland, "and General Pershing one of the profes sional soldiers that Judge Murphy says Mr. Ford said should have the word 'murderer' embroidered on his breast. made a colonel. And when they tell you that you cannot put more than one meaning on the word 'anarchist' I want you to remember the mental gymnastics that Judge Murphy did here this morn ing in trying to make you believe that Henry Ford, when he advocated the brand 'murderer' did not mean the boys who joined the army in 1917, but pro fessional soldiers, soldiers like Persh ing and Haig and Foch. who have been professional soldiers all their lives.'" Mr. Kirkland told how the news item. on which the alleged libelous editorial was based, had its origin. The na tional guard, he -said, was being re cruited for eervice on the Mexican bor der and many employers were publicly announcing that the pay of'their men who joined the colors would be con tinued and their jobs held open for them. - Tribune's Pur pone Outlined. Inquiry at the Chicago branch of the Ford company elicited a statement that the branch manager was awaiting Instructions from the main office. This was only two or three days before pub lication or the editorial on June 23 1916. he said. The Detroit correspond ent waa then appealed to by telegraph This correspondent, the lawyer said was Informed by General Manager Klingsmith of the Ford company that the Ford company would not continue the pay of its men who enlisted, nor would it hold their positions open. Answering Attorney Murphy's charge that the Tribune Bought to embroil the United States in a war with Mexico, so that munitions required at home would not be shipped to the enemies of Ger many, Mr. Kirkland asserted that this was sufficiently answered by the fact that the Tribune had advocated inter vention since 1912. The relationshin bv which th two big. corporations were said to influence Tribune policy was said by Judge Tuck er on objection, by Attorney Elliott G. Stevenson, of counsel for the Tribune, to be irrelevant. 11,000 VOLTS FAIL TO KILL iii V Lineman Loses Two Fingers bnt Es- capes With Life. ALBANY. Or., May 16. Special.)

Chaf fin asserts the act was willful disre gard of the parental authority of the child's father and contends that the fight which followed was justifiable. Chaffin Is married, has three children and lives at 288 Sixteenth street North.
