MANY SIGNS POINT
TO PEACE IN
Government Is Undisturbed
by Dublin's Silence.
PREMIER PUTS OFF TRIP
Speakers In Parliament Also Hint
Settlement In "ear Future
Is to Bei?xpectecl.
LONDON. July S6. (By the Asso
ciated Press.) The uncanny silence
Dublin maintains relative to the Brit
ish government's proposals would
create uneasiness but for th'e known
fact that the Sinn Fein leaders are
engaged in daily discussion of the
proposals, which, as Austin Chamber
lain, government leader, revealed in
the house of commons today, were
only "outlines and principles." This
Is interpreted to mean that they af
ford a basis for continued negotia
tions. No reply has been received by the
premier from Mr. De Valera.
According: to reports current in
IDublin. what is called the. "rock of
Ulster" is the great obstacle which
must be taken into consideration.
It is clear from the statements of
Lord Berkenhead, lord high chancel
lor, in the house of lords, and Mr.
Chamberlain in the commons today
that the government has not lost hope
of a settlement.
Settlement Hoped For,
The former announced that the gov
ernment was hopeful it could make a
Etatement at an early date; Mr. Cham
berlain clearly indicated that the gov
ernment expected a late autumn ses
sion to pass legislation regarding
peace in Ireland. These are not the
only favorable signs.
Mr. LJoyd George has decided that
lie will not go abroad for a vacation;
he desires to be available for any
development. Moreover. General Jan
C. Smuts has booked passage on a
liner sailing for South Africa Friday,
and it is believed he would not leave
Kngland unless convinced Irish nego
tiations were in line for peace.
A writer in the "Westminster Ga
zette pointed out that De Valera's de
mand for independence for Ireland is
far from, being an extravagant de
mand, as it is based on sound his
torical ground, namely, that under
the act of independence passed by
the British parliament in 1733, Ire
land is a kingdom under the British
king, but united for the time being
under the treaty embodied in the act
of union in 1800.
Chamberlain Is Optimistic
Austen Chamberlain, the govern
ment leader, said in the house of com
mons today he hoped parliament would
bo prorogued August 26, tfut he fore
shadowed the possibility of its being
summoned again in November or De
cember to pass legislation necessary
to give effect to an Irish settlement.
Mr. Chamberlain said that if nego
tiations resulted, as was hoped, in an
honorable and satisfaetory settlement
"between the parties concerned, and if,
therefore, an Irish peace was in sight,
very early consideration by parlia
ment .might be necessary.
As far as the government could see
in that happy contingency, ho-wever,
he added, the agreement could not
have reached the point where it could
be embodied in legislation to be sub
mitted to the house at an early date.
PRISONERS' RELEASE LIIiELT

BELFAST, July 26 (By the Asso
ciated Press ) The Belfast Tele
graph's Dublin correspondent said to
day he understands virtually all the
members of the Dail Eireann or Irish
republican parliament, who are in
jail, will be released at an early date
This action will be taken to give
them an opportunity to meet and dis
cuss the British government's pro
posals for a settlement of the Irish
Question, he adds.

reclamation engineer in charge of
preliminary work in central Oregon,
have begun making a first-hand
study of the needs of this section.
Water may be allotted from the Des
chutes river or from the Benham

onstrated that the Tumalo reservoir

Regardng the Ochoco project, which
he looked over this afternoon. Direc
tor Davis said that the service has
been asked to take over this recla
mation work." but predicted that this
would not be done. He pointed out
that he had actually no power in the
matter, an act of congress being nec
essary to take over the project. This
would not afford the speedy relief
needed, he said.
Mr. Davis will go to Madras tomor
row to look ver the north unit of
the Deschutes project, and on the fol
lowing day will inspect the Owyhee
project.

LABOR OPPOSES ADMISSION OF
COOLIES TO HAWAII.
Psopo&ed Legislation Called Move
in Plot to Bring Orientals
to 31ainlanl.
WASHINGTON", D. C. July 26.
Efforts to pass legislation permitting
the importation of Chinese coolies into
Hawaii ijs a "conspiracy" that has
behind it their "eventual admission
into the United States," the legislative
committee of the American Federation
of Labor charged in a report made
public today.
Representatives of the sugar inter
ests of Hawaii, the report said, have
advised sugar men of this country
not to interfere with the enactment
of a law permitting Chinese coolies to
enter Hawaii.
"It is the . entering wedge; if we
get them, you will have no trouble to
get them into the United States," the
report said was the actual wording
of a statement made to sugar men in
America.
HONOLULU, July 26. E. V. Bish
op, president of the Hawaiian Sugar
Planters association, characterized
as "absolute falsehood" the report of
the executive committee of the Amer
ican Federation of Labor, made public
at Washington today, insofar as it
charged a conspiracy on the part of
Hawaiian planters to provide for ad
mission of Chinese coolies into the
United States.

NEW BRUNSWICK, N. J.. July 26.
(Special.) "I forgive my father.
for I suppose he was lonely without

in his cell, where he was held to
await the outcome of his daughter's
injuries.
Before daylight this morning Sarah
crawled through an open window into
the room where his daughter lay
sleeping. ' Shaking her roughly, he
awakened her and ordered her to
leave with him at once under penalty
of death. The girl refused. In
furiated, Sarah attacked her with a
razor, stabbing her ten times and
almost severing her left wrist. Then
he escaped and hid for several hours
in the woods, being captured only
after a long chase by a posse of
citizens and Woodibridge populace.

American Prisoners Probably Will
Be Released as Prerequisite
to American Help.
BY MARK SJLJLLIVAN.
(Copyright by the New York Evening
Pom, Inc. Published by Arrangement.)
WASHINGTON, D. C, July 26.
(Special.) The best judgment in
Washington is that the Russians will
comply with the conditions laid down
by Mr. Hoover and will release Amer
ican prisoners and let the American
relief administration function in Rus
sia on its own terms.
It is apparent that there is a bad
economic condition in parts of Russia,
especially in the north. This bad eco
nomic condition rests chiefly on the
breakdown of transportation and the
failure of the soviet theory of man
aging the railroads and other instru
ments of transportation.
This belief is borne out by news re
ceived privately in Washington from
Russia as well as by the mere fact of
Russia's soliciting the aid of the
American relief administration at this
time. Ordinarily the present, which
is a period of ripening crops, should
not be a period of economic distress,
and Russia should be less likely now
to make concessions in exchange' for
relief from America than some months
ago, .when the same tender was made
by the American relief administration
and was turned down by the soviet
government.
Prisoner Real Issue.
Politically, the heart of this epi
sode lies in Mr. Hoover's demand tnat
American prisoners be released. That
is the issue which has always stood
between the soviet government and
the American government. There are
only about ten of these prisoners.
They include, two Red Cross captains,
a newspaper woman, two moving pic
ture men, and a few others.
Five- or ten prisoners, more or less,
ought not to mean much to the soviet
authorites, but the theory held here
is that the soviet government hitherto
has wanted to use these prisoners as
a pawn. It wanted the American gov
ernment to make an official request
to the soviet government for release
of these prisoners. That would have
constituted an act of recognition by
the American government. This, how
ever, is precisely what the American
government will not do. The position
of the government is that the soviet
government must first release the
prisoners and then ask for recogni
tion. Of course, the recent communication
to the soviet government from Mr.
Hoover as head of the American re
lief administration has nothing to do
with the American government. Mr.
Hoover was acting in his capacity of
private citizen as head of the Ameri
can relief administration and not in
his capacity as a member of Mr. Hard
ing's cabinet.
Soviet May "Understand.
Probably, however, the soviet
guesses, as well as most people in
Washington guess that Mr. Hoover,
as a member of President Harding's
cabinet, has naturally been called
upon because of his unusual knowl
edge of Russian conditions to supply
most of the information and advice
which have guided the attitude of the
American government on this ques
tion. Mr. Hoover's present action, how
ever, is wholly unofficial. In re
sponse to calls of distress sent out by
prominent literary men in Russia, Mr.
Hoover has offered to supply and con
duct relief in that country on exactly
the same conditions under which his
organization is already supplying re
lief in Poland, Ksthonia, Bulgaria and
other countries on the border of Rus
sia, The only condition Mr. Hoover
has added in the case of Russia is
that the American prisoners held by
the soviet, government shall be re
leased. Probably it can fairly be assumed
that Mr. Hoover has been - able to
make a shrewd guess that the soviet
leaders are more eager to pay the
price of relief now than they were
six months ago when he first made
the offer. The young men whom
Mr. Hoover already has working as
agents In his organization in the
countries along the borders of Russia
are exceptionally able observers of
conditions, and doubtless they have
accurate knowledge of economic and
political conditions in the interior of
Russia.
Trade JTot Interdicted.
The present episod-e provides a good
occasion for correcting a misunder
standing about the American gov
ernment's attitude toward the Rus
sian government. It is commonly be
lieved that the attitude of the Ameri
can government prevents trade with
Russia on the part of American busi
ness men. This is not true. American
business men can trade with the Rus
sian government and do trade with it.
The meeting ground for such trade
is Riga, and very recently somt
American business men have sold a
large stock of shoes to the Russian
government.. Other similar transac
tions have taken place.
The American government does
not interdict this trade. The Amer
ican government has merely refused
the request of the soviet government
to make a treaty of commerce with
Russia. Such a treaty of commerce
would, of course, include recognition
of the soviet government, and the
American government is unwilling to
give this recognition so long as
American prisoners are not released.

EXPRESS MEN MAY QUIT
Strike in. Xorthwest Likely to Fol
low Wage Reduction.
SPOKANE, Wash., July 26. (Spe
cial.) Practically 100 per cent of the
1000 express employes of the Pacific
northwest are strongly opposed to
the 6 cents an hour wage reduction
scheduled to go into effect August 1
and undoubtedly will go on strike in
August if an attempt is made to elimi
nate the eight-hour day, according to
George I. Maston, head of the north
west expressmen, upon his arrival in
Spokane today.
"There will be a strike of the express-workers
if the agreement for
the eight-hour day and time and a
half for overtime is stricken out by
the American Railway Express com
pany, declared Maston.
"In a straw ballot taken by ex
press lodges in the Pacific northwest,
every one voted to go on strike rather
than accept the 6 cents an hour cut
scheduled to go into effect August 1.
I personally feel that the men should
accept the cut if working condition's
and hours can be retained.
"An official strike ballot is to be
taken soon, however, and I will be
guided entirely by the wishes of the
membership at a general meeting of
the express employes' executives to
be held in Chicago. August 10, at
which time the strike matter will be
decided."
