Convocation of a pri vate meeting of the Irish republican parliament for next Wednesday to consider the British cabinet's invita tion to a conference on the Irish question at Inverness, September 29, was decided upon this afternoon by a meeting of the Dail cabinet, over which Eamonn de Valera presided.

Decision la Reported. Optimists over the status of the negotiations tonight drew the infer ence that a decision had been taken to recommend the appointment of plenipotentiaries while some pointed out that a final breach of negotiations also would require a full meeting of lh Dail. The optimists, however, appeared to constitute a large ma jority. A rumor was current in Sinn Fein circles that if plenipotentiaries are appointed to proceed to Inverness Eamonn de Valera, the republican leader, does not desire to be one of them, being willing to' leave the con duct of negotiations with Arthur Grif fith, the Sinn Fein foreign minister. In any case, Mr. Griffith will be the chief figure in the negotiations, once actual business is approached. Delay Is Not Expected. Desmond Fitzgerald, ,Sinn Fein min ister of propaganda, sail he expected no unnecessary delay In the reply to Mr. Lloyd George. Irish newspapers received the lat est note from Prime Minister Lloyd George to Eamon de Valera favorably, but it must be remembered there are no Sinn Pein papers. The Freeman's Journal said the note had opened the door wider than before. The Irish Independent remarked (Conceded on Page 2. Column 2.) Conference Invitation Be Considered. t ..

GAS' RATES ORDERED' CUT Vancouver, Wash., to Get Keduc- , tion September 15. OLTMPIA, Wash., Sept. 9. (Spe cial.) An order lowering gas rates approximately 10 .cents a thousand feet in Vancouver, Washington, effeci tive September 15, was issued today by the department of public works.

As oil gas is much lower in .price than the coal gas the depart ment found that the company can operate cheaper and therefore sell to the Vancouver company at a less rate than they are now doing.

FUGITIVE OUT FIVE DAYS Beating of Forests on Island Avails Nothing. IP0SSES KEEP UP'-HOPEi Hydroplane Arrives, but Leaves Again When Search From Air Is Declared Impossible. TACOMA, Wash., Sept. 9. Pursuit of Roy Gardner, notorious California mall robber, took 'an entirely new course today with the arrival at the McNeil's island federal penitentiary of reinforcements expected by. Warden Maloney for some time. From the Indiscriminate beating through the suspected areas of for ests on the prison ls'.and by a large number of prison guards and ape cial deputies, the chase tonight had been turned over to a handful o expert woodsmen with the little army of guards assigned to the duties of patrols. The woodsmen have laid plans to hunt the outlaw as they would track a man through the forests, trusting not to numbers but to their know! edge of woodcraft. Tralla Are to Be Sought. They hope, they said, to pick up trails and read signs that would be passed unnoticed by others. Heading the list of new arrivals who brought about the change in programme is James B. McDonald, forest ranger, who reached Tacoma from Centralla. McDonald was accompanied by Louis Sonny, Centralia policeman, who arrested Gardner on his last escape and H. B. Ogle, a deputy sheriff of Lewis county and a woodsman of long, experience. -- Mas Hnntrra Still Hopeful. P. J. McMurray, Northern Pacific railway special agent, also remained to assist Warden Maloney and the four men after a conference with the warden tonight announced that they have arrived at a plan of action. the details of which they declined to make public. That the fifth day had arrived since Gardner made his sensational break from the penitentiary did not ap pear to dampen the hopes of prison officials who reiterated their firm belief that the outlaw was still on the island, following the system he used In other escapes, by remaining In hiding several days before attempt lng flight. Many rumors were run down dur ng the day, all investigation lead ing either to nothing at all or else proving ludicrous. Plane Falls In Searrh. A " commercial hydroplane from American Lake, near here, landed at the penitentiary wharf today but Warden Maloney said that the topog raphy of the Island made a search from the air impossible and the avia tor returned to the lake. One rifle shot shortly before noon today brought immediate investiga tion from several sources and the reserves' of the island were held in readiness for quick action. It de veloped that Captain John Eden, llv- ng near the shore on the south side, had' shot a chicken hawk. The guards smiled on receiving the news but did not relax their vigilance. Neither had it been definitely es tablished tonight that the prowler shot at twice Thursday night by Charles Savage at his home while off duty as a guard, was Gardner. DASH . IS EXPECTED SOOX Fugitive Outlaw la Believed to Be Becoming Desperate. MCNEIL'S ISLAND, Sept. .(Spe cial.) "Roy Gardner will quit Mc Neil's island tonight," said Thomas Maloney, warden of the United States enltentiary here, from which Card er escaped last Monday afternoon. Just what Warden Maloney based Is belief on was not known, but fol lowing his statement he issued direc tions for the largest guard yet sent ut to take up posts at the two strategic points on the Island which are feasible for leaving it. A big squad of riflemen has been posted at and near Meridian, on Pitts passage, on the shore and in row-boat patrols. At this point the, island shore is less than a miie from the mainland to the west. In the center of the pass Is a small rock known as Mosquito island, which would serve admirably as a resting place for a man swimming the pass. ' Mosquito Island has its quota of armed guards tonight. Another squad of riflemen has tarted surrounding the woods In the vicinity of Gertrude, almost in the center of the island. Gardner was believed to have been In the vicinity of Gertrude last night. Guards who beat the brush all day today, how ever, could find no trace of him.

Employers Fear Another West Vir ginia Situation as Result of Advance on Pit. SEATTLE. Wash., Sept. 9. (Spe cial.) Danger, and real danger at that. Is revealed In the controversy between the bituminous coal opa tors and organized miners in this state Jty the report of an alleged ad vance of several hundred dissatisfied diggers on the pit at Franklin, Just disclosed by representatives of the mine owners. From the account of the affair, ob tained in the Seattle office of the Washington Coal Operators' assocla tion, spokesmen for the employers. It appears there was no actual outbreak, but that there were some who feared a situation might develop resembling that In West Virginia, where federal troops were called in to put down dis orders. The importance attached to the In cident Is proof of the growing tension in the local fuel fields since the Washington Coal Operators' associa tion closed its mines on March 15, last, and especially since it definitely broke with the United Mine Workeri of America, and began enrolling non organized men in the pits about two weeks ago. III feeling prevails about Franklin today and a second demonstration is feared. The so-called advance on the Frank lin mine took place last week, al though details of It were not made public until now. Hearing of the Importation of men Into Franklin, the local leaders of the United Mine Workers arranged a demonstration. It is said, and soon several hundred men were on the way to Franklin. Meantime considerable feeling had been aroused by the posting of pla cards by members of the United Mine Workers charging that employers were deliberately attempting to break their contract .with the labor union, and by the reply of the oper ators that they would under no con dition have anything further to do with miners' organizations.
