Report Declares Honor

of
FLOGGING IS CHARGED
Enlightened' Method Xegotiatioa
Said to Be Final Solution
f Problems.
IX5XDOX, Dec. 28. The labor com
mission which recently investigated
affairs in Ireland, it became known
today, in its final report declared "a
thing is being done in the name of
Great Britain which must make her
name stink in the nostrils of the
whole world. The honor of our people
has been gravely compromised."
The commission charges the crown
forces, among other things, with
burnings, destruction, looting and
flogging.
Regarding the government's re
crponsibility for reports the commls
eion states:
We do not believe the government
directly and definitely inspired re
pr.sals and violence, but while it bas
perfunctorily denied certain occur
rences which are beyond doubt, it has
'associated itself with, and defended
crimes committed by the crown forces
in Ireland. Blame for the present
situation does not rest primarily with
the members of the crown forces but
with the government."
Among the points in the commis
sion's report are the following:
"There are so many undoubted
cases of looting and theft that the
commission must add these crimes to
those of burning and destruction.
Many cases of beating . and other
- forms of punishment came to our
notice, some of which we were able
to investigate.
"In some places there has been a
good deal of flogging of the people.
"Rough and brutal treatment of
women Is by no means the worst that
. has to be said against men in the
eervice of the British crown.
"Kinal solution of the Irish problem
will not be found in a policy of viol
ence and vengeance. It will have to
be found along the lines of concilia
tion and consent by a more enlight
ened method of negotiation."

however, changed this plan. The same
senator said that if Hughes should
see fit to decline that it may be ex?
pected that Harding will fall back
upon Elihu Root. '
He also answered the question,
What is to be done with ex-Senator
George Sutherland of Utah? Suther

DeVALERA STLLL IX HIDISXJ
Secretary Embarrassed by Failure
, of "-President" to Appear.
NEW YORK, Dec. 28. Eamonn de
Valera, "president of the Irish repub
lic," has caused his secretary consid
erable embarrassment by failing to
"come out of ' seclusion,", the latter
asserted here today.
Today the secretary said he had not
eeen Mr. de Valera since his return
here from Worcester, Mass. He had
previously announced he expected to
confer with "the president" here.
"I cannot give you any tip" at all
he replied when asked if he woul

That Both Railways Have Grant
ed Tempora y Delay in Ouster.
Now that It has been officially an
nounced that the Great Northern and
the - Spokane, Portland & Seattle
lines will be permitted at least tem
porarily to continue their use of the
Portland Union station terminals, the
next step in the situation is as to
wbether the' hearing by the inter
state commerce commission will be
held in Portland or Washington, D. C.
It is believed it will be held here and
it is not unlikely that Clyde B. Aitch
ison of Oregon, ex-chairman, will be
sent to handle it.
City Attorney La Roche, who Is
acting as secretary to Mayor Baker's
committee of civic club presidents on
the case, yesterday received from Mr.
Aitchison ' the following telegram
upon receipt by him at Washington
of official notice from J. P. OBnen
as president of the board of directors
of the Northern Pacific Terminal
company:
Union Pacific and Southern Pacific have
acceded to our request for postponement
for reasonable time of notice of vacation
to Great Northern and Spofcane, Portland
& Seattle railroads and have indicated de
sire for early hearing on complaint of Ore
son commission. Therefore not necessary
for you to come here to present applica

from coal tar, It was explained, and
from the manufacture of the commer

In a continuous process. By Insuring
the development of the dye industry
chemical experts here said. Great
Britain has laid the groundwork for
possible widespread use of gas In
warfare, as chemical factories can
turn from the manufacture of dye
stuffs to the production of poison gas
practically at will.
Direct competition in this country
between German and American-made
dyes also is seen by officials here as a
result of the British dyestuffs act. V
While the act prohibits the importa
tion of dye products into the United
Kingdom, the restriction does not ap
ply to goods imported for exportation
after transit through the United
Kingdom or by way of trans-shipment.
Under the present war trade board
regulations, officials explained, dyes
may not be imported into this country
when it can be shown that they are
of German origin. . But it would be
practically impossible, they dded, to
determine the origin of goods shipped
by way of England if the casings
were changed before consignment to
this country.
An influx of German dyes would
probably mean, officials frankly Btat-
ed, that the development of the Amer
ican industry would be hindered and
consequently the' United States
would fall behind the other nations in
ability to prodnce poison gas in the
event of war.
get the right kind of secretary of the

This comment was said to have
been made in connection with Senator
Poindexter's visit to Marion to urge
the appointment of Governor-elect
Joseph M. Dixon of Montana as secre
tary of the interior and brought some
editorial criticism from the New York
Times yesterday.
The statement he made, he said.
was correct "the state of Montana
would probably be glad to have one

O'Brien yesterday telegraphed the
commission and urged an immediate
hearing. He also wired L. C. Gilman

headquarters in Seattle, and notified
W. F. Turner, president of the Spo

with the decision.
Just how congested the calendar of
the interstate commission is no one
here knows, but the belief was ex
pressed yesterday that the Portland

forward, if possible, and that it will
be heard here. That would save con
siderable time ' and expense, to the
city and state.

HUGHES HUMOR CONFIRMED
Only Unforeseen Can Rob ex-Jus
tice of Post.
THE OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU,
Washington, Dec. 28. A middle-
western senator who returned a
few days ago from a conference
with the' president-elect at Marion.
O., today confirmed rumors of the
last few days that Charles Evan
Hughes would be secretary of state in
the Harding cabinet.
He said It Is yet two months before
Mr. Harding necessarily must an
nounce the personnel of his official
family and that in such a period
there may be several slips. In his
opinion, however, the failure to ap-
. point Hughes would be-nothing less
than a change In arrangements now
unforeseen. Senator Knox, who has
been frequently mentioned for the
post, has said that having been sec
retary of state once, he has no partic
ular desire to return to the same
office.
At the same time. Senator Knox Is
said to have been conscious of the
fact that bis record as an lrreconcil
able on the peace treaty might render
' his appointment distasteful " to cer
tain elements of his party, although
the president-elect has seemed strong
ly inclined toward him.
The Hughes choice appears to be
x the result of influences which have
not been felt to any degree by the
president-elect as to any other cab
inet choice. It Is said that from
everywhere there has come some pres
sure on Mr. Harding to put Hughes in
the cabinet. After weighing all of the
pleasant things said of Hughes, the
president-elect discovered that at last
he had found a man whom everybody
seemed to admire. 4
He proved to be the one man on
whom capital and labor could agree.
Representatives of both employers
and employes managed to get the
word to Marlon that they would be
pleased if the next president could
utilize Mr. Hughes' service, and it is
said to be upon these indorsements
rather than upon the O. K. of politi
cal advisers that the decision as to
the next cabinet premier was reached.
It is understood Mr. Harding's plan
had been to offer Mr. Hughes the
first vacancy on the supreme bench,
which will come when Justice Mc
Kenna retires, and later to elevate
him, to-chief Justice upon tits retire-

WASHINGTON, Dec. 28. By the
passage of the .dyestuffs import regu

the theory that poison gas will be the
supreme weapon of the next war and
at the same time opened the way for
the entry of German dyes into this
country, according to views expressed

The British act, which became a law

WASHINGTON, Dec. 28. Admit

The cabinet officers say an injunc
tion would inflict injury on the gov
ernment and people of the United
States and would hamper President
Wilson in the conduct of negotiations
with foreign countries on the sub

Secretary Colby argues the right of
the president to deny a landing privi
lege to any foreign-owned cable.

foreign country for the landing of
American owned cables. Asserting
