WAR POSSIBILITY IS FACED iOnly Condition Imposed Is Connection With Empire. STEP IMPORTANT ONE decision That Northern Ireland Must "ot Be Coerced Is Re affirmed in "ote. LONDON, Sept. 8. The British cab inet has invited. Mr. De Valera to K.rtA Ap-n t a tn a conference with the cabinet ministers at Inverness on September 20, according to the Daily Mail's Inverness correspondent, who added: "Only one condition is imposed, numely, the understanding? that Ire land must remain within the empire." Early Reply la Asked. The communication to Mr. De Val era, according to this dispatch, asked for an early reply and pointed out the apparent uselessness of conducting-" negotiations by a further ex change of notes. To allay any fears regarding Ulster, the decision that northern Ireland must not be coerced was reaffirmed by the ministers. Dealing with the cabinet meeting the Daily Mail said: ."The premier told' the ministers he regarded the situation as grave and critical and he was convinced a further interchange of notes was useless." More Note Held I'seless. One minister said he was in formed that lit was the real inten tion of Sinn Fein leaders to obtain a plebiscite of the Irish people after a further exchange of notes and to insure such a plebiscite resulted in a mandate for a conference. "After the conflicting interpreta tions placed in Ireland and England on the .latest Sinn Fein note were referred to the premier, he said.it was necessary to impose a time limit arid ascertain beyond doubt whether the Sinn Fein was prepared to re main within the empire. If so, i permanent settlement was undoubt edly possible. Jf not, further nego tiations were useless. "The cabinet, therefore, should make another effort "to obtain an agreement on this point, with all the blessings of peace to follow." Dublin dispatches today were de voted to explaining that Mr. De Val era's statement to the press yester day was Intended to remove the idea from the minds of the British -government that he was insisting on recognition of an Irish republic as a preliminary to a conference. According to the Westminster Gazette's Dublin correspondent, the real meaning of Mr. De Valera's statement was that if the Irish dele gates were allowed to enter the con ference untrammeled, they were pre pared to give every guarantee to the British representatives. .Dispatches Show Optimism. "A free gift from a free people," asserted the correspondent, "is really what De Valera is aiming at." Other Dublin dispatches revealed a feeling of optimism and a disposition to interpret Mr. De Valera's state ment as a peace signal. It was be lieved, apparently in Sinn Fein quarters, that if the British cabinet invites the Sinn Fein to a conference the invitation will be accepted. Moreover, it was thought a few hours' discussion in conference would serve to clear the atmosphere. PEACE OR WAR IX BALAX'CE Reply to De Valera Unanimously Approved by Ministers. INVERNESS, Scotland, Sept. 7. (By the Associated Press.) A deci sion which may mean peace or war -with Ireland was taken by the cab inet at an all-important meeting to day. The government's reply to Eimon de Valera, Irish republican leader, unanimously approved by the ministers, is being carried to Dublin by Robert C. Barton, the Sinn Fein courier, who brought the Dai) Eireann's message to Premier Lloyd George and who was brought Into the council chamber while the Goun od was in session. The nature of the government's decision has not been made known, but it is not necessary to await its publication tomorrow to realize an important step forward has been taken. Directly after the ministers had reached their decision came the an nouncement that a committee con sisting of the ministers now in Scot land has been appointed with full powers to deal with the situation the moment Mr. De Valera's at.sw.er ar rives. . The committee comprises the pre mier, Austen Chamberlain, Earl Cur zon, Sir Laming WorthingtOn-Evans, Winston Spencer Churchill, Edward Shortt Robert Munroe, Lord Birken head, Sir Hamar Greenwood and"Sir Robert Stevenson Horne.

The steamer San Pedro sent out an S. O. S. call at 2:50 o'clock this afternoon off the coast between Marshfield and Eureka on account of a broken rudder.

BOLIVIA'S DEMAND DEBATED Tacna-Arica Affair Subject of Live Discussion. CHILE REFUSES TO BUDGE Committees of Assembly Begin . Work Argentina's Proposed Amendment Rejected'. GENEVA, Sept 7. (By the Asso ciated Press.) The Monroe doctrine and the competency of the league of nations to deal with American ques tions and cases where one party to a treaty asks intervention to secure re vision were principal subjects of dis cussion In and out of the assembly to day. The discussions were provoked by Bolivia's demand that the assembly rut on the agenda the proposed re vision of Jhe Tacna-Arica treaty of 1904 between Chile and Bolivia. The debate began at the morning session. A canvass of the principal delegations showed a large majority against establishing a precedent .that the league may Interfere to revise treaties, particularly treaties of peace. There also is a strong feeling that it is dangerous for the prestige of the league not to be able to consider questions such as that raised by Bo livia, in which there are features that in the opinion of some of the delegates would seem to Justify arbi tration. Besides, most delegates are disinclined to welcome at this time a debate in which the Monroe doctrine a invoked in a manner 'which vir tually calls for an interpretation of the league's competency in matters supposed to be covered by that doc trine. . - Chile Refuses to Badge. Augustin Edwards, representing Chile, argued that the Tacna-Arica affair was purely an American con cern, that the Monroe doctrine applied in no sense to European states, and that the league of nations could not interfere. Senor Aramayo, for Bolivia, in formed the Associated Press that the chancellory of the United States had been consulted regarding Bolivia's ap plication to the league before it was submitted and had decided that medi ation by the league was not incom patible with the Monroe doctrine. A. J. Balfour of Great Britain, Lord Robert Cecil of South Africa, and President Van Karnebeek failed to keep the debate off the floor; they succeeded only in securing the con sent of the Bolivian and Chilean dele gations to let the matter rest after (Concluded on Pace 2, Column 3.)

'NECKTIE PARTY' PROMISE Threatening Letter Turned Over to Sheriff by Defense Public 'Warned Xot to Talk. BT W. A. PETTIT. ROSEBURG, Or., Sept. 7. (Special.) Dr. .Richard M. Brumfield, forme Roseburg dentist and leader in local fraternal and social affairs, will g on trial In the circuit court here Wednesday, October &, on a charge o first degree murder in connection with the brutal slay'ng of Denn Russell on the night of July 13. This was the announcement mad by Judge Bingham, after he had overruled a motion for a change o venue presented by the attorneys fo the defendant. In passing on the motion for change of venue Judge Bingham said there had been no showing by the defense attorneys' that any overt act indicating prejudice against the ac cused dentist had been made in Doug las county. He then quoted from the supreme court opinion of Justice Burnett' in the case of the state against Cassady. Precedent la Cited. This case originated In Gran county and a change of venue was sought on the grounds of prejudice and bias similar to that alleged by the attorneys for Brumfield. Th motion was denied by the trial court and after Cassady's conviction appeal was taken to the supreme court. In his opinion in the Cassady case, which was made a part of Judge Bingham'; ruling in the Brumfield preliminary- Justice Burnett held that the affi davits submitted by the defendant attorneys amounted to no mure than the mere opinion of the affiant a to the state of public feeling. In the Cassady case it was show by the defense attorneys that the citi zens of Grant county had participate in the employment of a special prose cutor, that press accounts purported to tell the story of the crime and that there was considerable feeling against the defendant. 'The press accounts were mere statements as matters of news of th . testimony given at the trial," Justice Burnett said in his opinion quoted by Judge Bingham. "The showing, in sub stance, was equivalent to the state ment that . possibly the public may have formed a general opinion of the guilt or innocence of the defendant from what it had heard or read. The situation as to the material available for Jurors is analogous to what is contemplated In the Oregon laws to the effect that such an opinion shall not; in itself be sufficient challenge to a particular Juror but the court must be satisfied from all the circum stances that the Juror cannot disre. gard such opinion and try the issue Impartially." Bianjr Held Competent, "Douglas county is one of the large counties of the state," continued Judge Bingham. The court believes there are many men m the county who have not talked with any person who may be a witness in the case, of who did not attend the coroner's Inquest or hear from a'ny person who did, a de tailed statement of the evidence. "Also that there are many men in Douglas county who have no personal knowledge of the facts involved, and who could lay aside their estimate of the case and try it fairly and impar tially. Further, that there are many men in the county who would not al low their previous conceptions to in fluence them if taken as Jurors, and whose previous opinions could and would be disregarded in making up a verdict. "I have been an occasional visitor In Douglas county for many years and am of the opinion that the people. here are of much the same typeas those fo'und in other sections of Oregon. In most instances the court officials and attorneys in the case are members of pioneer Douglas county families and are held In high' esteem by the public The people of Douglas county have low percentage of foreign population, and apparently believe in the great American principle . of fair dealing In Douglas county, the records show there has been no mob violence, while: in some other counties acts of thl nature have been recorded in th annals of our criminal history. Many Talesmen ,Muiit Be Called. "It Is true that it may require the questioning of many talesmen befori a Jury finally Is accepted. This, how ever, under the law, is not grounds for a change of venue. Many state ments have been -made that should have been unsaid, while stories have been printed that should have beer, omitted. In every county you wili find persons of radical tendencies, but the statements and publications of these people do not 'reflect the true sentiment of the community.

PATH LEADS TO BRUSH First Report of Convict Coin; Seen by Woman Is Proved Wltliout Foundation.. McNKILS ISLAND. Sept. 7 (Spe cial.) Roy Gardner Is still on Mc Neil's Island. This bwame virtually a certainty this afternoon when his footprints were identified leading from an apple orchard which he had raided on the western end of the island during the night. The discovery was made late In the day becauxe Warden Maloney, who is conducting the mnn hunt for the train robber who escaped from the federal prison heie Monflay, has become wary of will o' the wlnps. The posse went off on a wild goose chase early this morning when they received a call from an hysterical woman resident of the Island, who declared she had seen a skulking figure in her orchard. Story I.arka Foundation. A number of guaraa hurried to her home, but upon Investigation found that her story was without founda tion. As to the condition of the fo liage In the orchard, Wmdcn Maloney expressed the opinion that "pioplo were seeing ghosts." When, therefore, Tom Wlillams. 16. year-old stepson of Frank Wise, a rancher on the Island, reported that he had seen a similar figure in his orchard, little credence was placed In the report. But a posse finally went to Investigate and one glance at the orchard changed their apathy Into wildcat excitement. One tree had been entirely stripped of apples and footprints leading from the tree Into the brush, a hundred yards away, were distinctly visible. Khoea Are Gardner's Mis. Upon examination these footprints were readily Identified as Gardner's, Thry had been made by prison shoes this was Indisputable, as the heavy. unbending soles with their rude nails and blunt toes could not have been mistaken and a closer check showed that they were the same size as Gardner wore. As soon as word of this discovery was flashed back to the base of th man hunt, all activities were shifted to the vicinity of the ranch where all night search will be maintained. It Is now believed that Gardner Is pursuing exactly the same tactics he has used on his previous escapes front captivity that he deliberately refused to do the obvious thing and try to get off the Island, and Instead Is lylnf . concealed within the very shadow ot the penitentiary, depending on his wits to keep him alive until a mors propitious moment arrives for his trip to the mainland. Gardner Probably Hiding. If Gardner is Indeed on the li-land. he is probably hiding in the under brush which is almost Impenetrable in spots, in a section which is heavily timbered and cut up with ravines. There many small caves In which a fugitive might conceal himself Indefi nitely. If on the Island, the bandit la as sured of shelter and plenty of watur Is obtainable from small springs. For food, however, he must depend on sallies Into nearby orchards and chicken houses. The gradually accumulated mass of new clews pointed to tha fact that Gardner had made good his escape from the 160-acre mass of tangled un derbrush and forest within which prison officials were confident lie hid last night. The clew given by young Williams, This was said to have exploded thi theory that Gardner had been wound ed and Warden Thomas Maloney, in shifting th esearch, conceded that It was improbable that Gardner had been hit. Cane Active In June Hum. To confirm further the belief that the prowler was Gardner, W. F. Case, Tacoma postal inspector, tills morn ing was said to have established thut the footprints in the or-jhard wtie those of Gardner. Case was active In the search fur Gardner last June after the mail bandit's escape from guards at Castle Rock and was said to have taken measurements then of the robber's footprints. These,. It was declared, correspond with those discovered in the orchard. Identification win easier because of the fact that Gard ner wore civilian shoes at the tlir of the break. Prisoners are permltt4 to wear their own shoes and Monday Gardner did not have on prison shoes. It was declared at the penitentiary. unr1 Scare Away Rumeeuf.
