TTTE JTOKSTNTJ 0KEG0!OAX, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 23, 1921 i HFEhEUCE IS HELD OVER VflLERA'S NOTE Hope Expressed for Settle ment of Parley Crisis. MEETING LASTS 3 HOURS Premier IIoyd George Makes Gov ernment's Policy Clear In Talk to House of Commons. LONDON. Oct. 24. (By the Asso ciated Press.) The first real crisis In the Irish conference, caused by Kamonn de Valera's assertion of Ire land's Independence In his message to Pope Benedict lst week. Is not healed, but there are hopes. If not irospects, that It may be smoothed ver or compromised. Representatives of the British gov rnment and Dall Eireann conferred early three hours today and this jestion was the oniy one before the inference, which adjourned until 4 . M. tomorrow. The government as understood to have placed be- rs the Sinn Fein delegates Its ultl istum, or declaration, that Great . rltain will deal with Sinn Fein Ire ind only as a part of the British mpire and not with representatives ,f the Sinn Fein as plenipotentiaries of an Independent republic. Poller la Made Clear. Premier Lloyd Georgre made the government' policy clear to the House of commons. He said Mr. De Valera's message was a "grave chal lenge" that the government's posi tion on that question (meaning Inde pendence) had been made clear and that the conference could not pro ceed on any other basis. The business of today's conference was described as an attempt to agree on a formula which would carry the conference over the apparent dead- JOCK. While the Sinn Fein delegates have no special train or liner waiting, they say "our bags are always packed." The formal conference did not occupy the whole three hours, part of the time being consumed by In formal conversations. It "la under stood that a committee was selected to try to find a formula whereby differences might be reconciled, Breark Declared Desired. 6ome Sinn Fein followers professed to believe Mr. Lloyd George would welcome a breach, because he could then hold a general election on whether the government should con cede the Sinn Fein's claims for In dependence, and gain a new lease of :tfe for his party. The premier's friends, however, strongly affirm his ' tesire for peace beyond doubt; they joint out that he has pursued this ourse despite all obstacles and is aclmial v BmhnrrflRN.il h ttlA Hlnn 'ein's failure to recognise the gov ernment's position. Immediate resumption of hostili ties In Ireland Is not regarded as probable, even If the conference falls, by experts from Ireland representing the government, nor by the Sinn Feiners. All machinery for preserv ing the truce will ie maintained for a- time and meanwhile, before the military policy Is tried again. It Is believed an attempt will be made to obtain a decision from the Irish people, of whether they prefer war to accepting anything less than a republic. NOTE DECLARED BLAMELESS Crisis In Conference Held Not Due to Message to Fope. BELFAST, Ireland, Oct. 24. Ernest Blythe, Sinn Fein minister of com merce, declared in a speech tonight that if there was any crisis In the Irish settlement it was not due to Mr. de Valera's telegram to the pope, which was very necessary. If it were possible during the nego tiations to get a satisfactory and honorable settlement, such settlement would be accepted, he said, but If lt were Impossible to obtain such a set tlement, the Sinn Fein would go on -until they could get It. The Dall Klreann, the minister said, would be willing to give a wide measure of local autonomy to Ulster, but there was doubt whether Ulster was fit for It. Ulster would have to behsve, and before the south of Ireland suffered much the bottom would be out of Cl ter. Government Censure Proposed. LONDON. Oct. 24. (By the Asso ciated Press.) Unionist members of parliament presented In the house of commons tonight a motion, Intended as a vote of censure of the govern ment for Its participation In the Irish negotiations.

Patrolman Burdick yesterday wrote to the boy's aunt at Sheridan asking if she would give her consent to the lad's adoption. If this Is forthcoming the lad will ba legally adopted by the Burdicks. .

BY DON SKENE. ROSEBURG, Or., Oct. 4. (Special.) Dr. Richard M. Brumfleld still was In a grave condition today as a re sult of . self-inflicted wounds by which he sought to take his-life rather than face death by hanging as the murderer of Dennis RusselL "Dr. Brumfield's general physical condition is surprisingly good, but his wounds were slightly worse to day," said Dr. Charles B. Wade, county medical and health officer. "It is almost impossible to predict now what the course of the infection in the cuts will be. If the Infection does not spread within the next day or two, I believe he will be able to be up and around in about a week, barring some unexpected develop ment." Dr. Wade opened up the wound on the left side of the prisoner's neck this morning, and made a careful ex amination. The wound was probed thoroughly and drained. Operation Is Painful. This operation was extremely painful, but Dr. Brumfleld never whimpered," said Dr. Wade. "He is an Ideal patient. It was inadvisable to give him a local anesthetic, but he gritted his teeth and submitted to the probing of his wounds without complaint." The greatest menace 'n the way of recovery is the possibility that the murderer may suddenly claw at the wounds and bring about a fatal spread of Infection, according to Dr. Wade. "He could commit suicide by UBlng the germs of Infection In his wounds as a weapon," he said. "It he should scratch and rub the slashes in his neck, unnoticed, he would send germs spreading through his system, and death might ' result in spite of all medical attention could do." Interest Taken In Life. That the doomed man Is still taking an interest In life was shown today when he asked for the sporting pages of the Portland papers. Dr. Brum fleld is an enthusiastic follower of sports, particularly baseball and foot ball. During his gruelling trial for life, he kept posted on the world's series between the New York Yan kees and the New York Giants, and announced that he was "rooting for the Giants to win. With the advent of the big foot ball games, his Interest has turned to this form of sport. Through the sport pages he follows the fortunes of gridiron warriors at the Univer sity of Indiana, his alma mater. The sporting news from the Sunday papers was read to the prisoner by one of his Jailers. Dr.-Brumfleld told his doctors this morning that he had suffered from a nervous spell during the night. "I felt a nervous chill coming on, and I wanted to get up and smash things and tear them -to pieces," he declared. "I had one of those spells before. I didn't .want another one so I called the guard over and talked to him for a couple of hours until my mind quieted down." The sleepless watch maintained over Dr. Brumfield has a grim aspect, for the road to health and strength in his case is also the road to the gal lows at the Salem penitentiary.
