TITE MORNING OltEGONIAN, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 2G, 1921 BRITISH REGRETTHAT PREMIER CANT COME Lloyd George Kept Busy With Irish Situation. - ARMS VOICE IS WANTED Sonic Objection Is Made to Repre sentation at Conference Be ing by Prlmo Minister. BY GEORGE N. BARNES. M. P. (Copyright. by The Oresonlan.) LONDON, Sept. 25. (Special by "Wlreleaa.) It U a matter of sincere regret to most Kngllahmen that David Lloyd Oeorge, the British prims min ister, will not attend the Washington conference on limitation of arma ments. The protracted negotiations retarding- Ireland and the uncertain lxaue of these negotiations, however. dispose of any chance of this extreme' ly Interesting; figure In world politics taking; part In the Washington parley. This Is a source of general disap pointment. There has been objection to the prime minister serving at Washington, notably the Northcliffe press attacks, but Lloyd Oeorge rep resents the Great Britain of today and It Is too bad that the American people should not see and know him at close range, Irish Need Atteatlea. However, the Irish situation Is such that bs cannot neglect It If the negotiations are to continue on emlcable basis, Lloyd Oeorge Is need ed here to conduct them. If. to Great Britain's misfortune, they ars broken off definitely and civil war Is resumed In Ireland, Lloyd George la needed In "Downing street mora than ever, for the crisis Is a serious one. .'Ireland has been an acute problem for several hundred years. Naval trmament is quite an Infant Industry. Sir Ernest Shackleton, the noted ex plorer, and his faithful band of 23 boarded their little craft the other day and left us for the Antarctic. Their departure evoked quite a burst of good will and brought a welcome ray of romance If somewhat troubled life. The lure of the uncharted seas ever haa appealed to our race and In spirit we shall follow the adventur ous to the far-off polar regions. But political and Industrial condi tions leave little respite for romance. After apparent agreement 10 days ago, the parties to the Irish parley again became engaged In further dia lectics, which have led to further friction. De Valera has his last word, but as Lloyd George bas asked for the withdrawal of the claim of sov ereignty, which Is again asserted, the omens at the moment ars not good. Belfast Rioting Goes Om. Meantime the rioting In Belfast, In which two girls were killed. Is a striking commentary on Ie Valera's plea for an Independent and united government. If nothing else comes of the recent happenings In and re garding Ireland, the world In general and America In particular will at least have got clearef Insight Into Irish psychology and will understand better than before the real difficulties of the Irleh situation. I still think It was a mistake to Impose conditions and that each aide must have been left free. Our other outstanding problem la that of unemployment The unem ployed get more Insistent and the fig ures tend to a stabilization of their numbers. There was a diminution last week of only 15,000 and there still still remain 1.602.000 entirely work less and some 400,000 only partly employed. Scheme Is Offered. A cabinet committee has drawn tip a scheme of financial help by local authorltlea which Is held by many not rnly to be Inadequate but fundamen tally wrong. It Is based upon the traditional policy of governments which have envisaged the problem as one primarily for local authorities, whereas a newer view demands the recognition of the problem as one for central organisation and financing. The government Is willing to lend aid to the extent of paying the Inter est on any loans the local authorities may contract In siding the unem ployed but Is unwilling to undertake central organisation or Control. And thre the matter rests for the mo ment, except that several labor party mayors have succeeded In Interview ing the prime minister and the labor party has Joined with the trades union congress In demanding a spe cial meeting of parliament. t Iterogaltloa Is Growing. It Is now being more and mors rec ognized, however, thst schemes for relief of workers, whether local or national, are but poor palliatives for an evil which can effectively be dealt with only through co-operation be tween the employer and the employed, whether the employer be an individ ual company or the public authorities. Opinions are tending toward each Industry regularizing Its employments ss far as possible and providing for unemployment, when Inevitable, by a pharge on costs, supplemented, accord ing to proved need, from national In surance funds. Provisions are made for this In the Insurance act, and the application of the principle only awaits the necersary organization and co-operation on the part of those dl . rectly concerned. The one hopeful feature of the present situation lies In The fact that there is discernible a glimmer of some such constructive thought snd social cense by employer and employed. It was manifested at the recent trade union congress by the Interest shown In matters of education and the cen tral control of disputes. And It has been shown this week by the confer ence on Industrial organizations largely attended by representatives of employers snd employed. Including local authorities. Meantime we are faced with the present surplus of 1.500,000 would-bs surplus workers for whom some pro vision must be made which will not unfit tliem ior return to normal work por retard the demand for their aerv Ices when such work Is available.

It Is ths opinion here that he la shamming a lapse of memory In an attempt to "provide substantiation for the story given ths officers that his mind is a blank covering the period in which he Is alleged to have killed Dennis Russell. Qaeeraess Held Assumed. Few people are willing to believe that he Is now or ever has been out of his mind and It is the opinion free ly expressed that the present "queer ness" Is entirely assumed and merely a play to be used in court to establish bis claim of frequent lapses of memory. "I am willing to predict that In a couple of days he will be perfectly all right and will know everyone," Sheriff Starmer said tonight. "But he will not admit that he remembers anything of his attack on Deputy Sheriff Hopkins or any of the events during the time of thls'apparent lapse of memory. He without doubt will declare that his mind Is a complete blank from Thursday night until the time he recovers his mind and it is quite possible that he will attempt to assume a semi-Insane condition until after the trial and will try to pull some of this stuff in the court room for an effect upon the Jury."

Beauties of Columbia Highway Are Praised by Men and Women In Party Alike. i - (Continued From FTryt Pare.) praise the magnifios-nt scenery of this section.'1 said C C Bullen, deputy governor of the federal reserve bank, Boston, Mass. "There are many things to remind) one of the Alle ghanles but we have not the In credible variety and beauty of scen ery which you have." Nature, aided by the weather bu reau man, prepared a wonderful re ception for sight-seeing. The bank ers and the women members of their party were motored to the Hotel Benson Immediately upon their ar rival at f:4t o'clock yesterday morn ing. After breakfast at the hotel they gathered about the Information desk in the hotel which had been set up by the local bankers and at which E. C. Sammons, chairman o' ths local committee, presided. Many Take Highway Trlsu All had their choice of touring the city, the Columbia River highway or going to a golf club. Many took the highway trip In the morning. Those who did not arranged for the drive In the afternoon. By 9 o'clock the crowd had started out in all directions. Most of those In the banking crowd had never before visited the Pacific north west. Those who took the Columbia highway drive had only superlatives to use in exclamation as the motor cars glided along over the smooth pavement. Crown Point was the first stop. As the different groups arrived, alighted from the cars and stood hun dreds of feet above the Columbia and gazed off across the exquisitely beau tiful vistas, the women burst Into voluble exclamations of rapture. Grandenr Is Recognised. "How grand! How superb! Won derful! Too beautiful even for an artist to paint truthfully!" These were a few of the voluntary tributes paid as they stood there. "Oh. I know I'll come, to Portland to live now." exclaimed one of the younger women. "How I envy you If you do," breathed an older woman beside her. The men, man-like, said lUtle. but they puffed their cigars more quickly and their eyes lighted with pleasure. "What does fhat sign, 'Portland In 1925' over there on that car'mean?" one asked. "That refers to the exposition that Is being planned for Portland then," was the answer. "Well, I am going right back to Florida and book my entire party and all my friends back home for the fair," was ths quick response. Stops were made at Latourelle falls. Sheppherds dell. Bridal Veil falls. Multnomah falls and Horsetsil falls. By that time the men had re covered their tongues and business had lost Its hold on the mind. "Do you know what gets me about all this?" one asked. "It Is the In finite variety and the restfulneso of hs scenery. Nothing is garish, noth ing is loud, nothing Is out of place. It is all one complete whole. 1 have seen grand waterfalls, but the noiee ctunned my senses. These waterfalls roothe me. They Impress me so that I would like to alt and gaze upon them through the day and day-dream as I did when a boy. My, the years roll from my shoulders." So businesa was forgotten by the men who have the reputation the na tion over as never being able to cast out business from the mind. Some Go t Columbia Gorge. Most of those talcing the Columbia river trip In tbe morning were com pelled to return from Horsetail falls because of engagements to tour the city In the afternoon. However, many of them cried for more and these ar ranged to take the day and go to Columbia gorge. The stories of the return of salmon to Bonneville hatchery to spawn had reached the banking party and this drew many of them to that point. While the motorcars wwe on the highway equal numbers were being conducted about the city, through the residence sections, to Council Crest snd other vantage points. Many of them even found time to window shop downtown. .There waa much entertainment by local bankers. Many dinner parties were given in the homes for friends and acquaintances made on business trips and at former conventions. Party Lnrri for South. The party left at 11:45 o'clock last night over the Southern Pacific for the south. Several stops will be made before reaching Los Angeles. 3 TO HOLD MEAT HEARING Justice, Commerce and Agriculture to' Be Represented. WASHINGTON. D. C, Sept. 25.

COURSE IS INDICATED Attorneys Declare Prosecution Will Have to Present More Evidence. Insanity Not to Be Plea. SEATTLE. Wash.. Sept. 25. (Spe cial.) Attorney Johnston declaring that he did not believe the body found In the trunk taken from Lake Union August S last was that of Mrs. Kate Maboney, today dropped for the first time a definite hint of one line of the defense of James Mahoney, charged with the murder. At the same time Mr. Johnston "said he was not contemplating a defense of insanity. L. B. Schwellenbach, as sociated In the case, afterwards de clared, "We are open-minded on this point." Despite the positive Identification by Dr. Frank L. Wood of the teeth ami bridge taken from the mouth of the dead woman as work performed by him for Mrs. Mahoney, and the testi mony Friday of Mrs. J. T. Klette and Mrs. Herm-ine Paplneau that the hands of the dead woman were those of Mrs. Mahoney, and that the garments found stuffed about the body In the trunk were Mrs. Mahoney's, Attornev Johnston contended with vigor that the state had not shown beyond rea sonable doubt that tbe body found in the trunk, waa that of Mrs. Mahoney. Body's Identity Challenged. "The testimony of Mrs. Klette and Mrs. Paplneau as to"lhe hands of the woman whose body waa in the trunk amounts to nothing, while we can get plenty of dentists to say that plates with the Gilmore attachment are commonly used," declsred the de fense attorney. "The state will have to get stronger evidence than that of Dr. Wood to prove conclusively that Kate. Mahoney's body lies in the county morgue or ever waa in that trunk." Mr. Johnston said the defense was prepared to make a heavy assault on the identification if the state leaves it with no further support. The chief attorney for the defense, retaining his optimism under the heavy blows the state has administered during the last two days, said be did not believe the state has yet a case which would warrant submission to a Jury. Question Is Answered. Asked if the state had made a case so far that would compel some ex planation from the defendant himself as to the whereabouts of Mrs. Ma honey, or as to her departure and prolonged absence from the city, Mr. Johnston hastily answered: "Fsr from It. The state hasn't put In enough evidence to send the case to the jury. Tho states attorney have not touched upon any motive for the o,vert act, or upon the actual commission of any crime. They have been content with proving a lot of stuff we would have readily admitted at any time. "They have shown that Mahoney made no attempt to conceal himself or get under cover, either before or after the alleged murder. They have shown that ho and his wife were to gether at 8:30 o'clock, an hour and a half after Mahoney first telephoned for an expressman, and they have shown that Mahoney bought a quar ter-inch rope, while In fact the rope around the trunk taken from the lake la one-half Inch thick. "They have spent a lot of time on an expressman, who has told several stories about the time he called at 409 Denny way, and who. after look ing over his trip Bheets only last week, cannot remember anything whatever about any trunk except the one he says Mahoney asked him to haul.
