BREACH II ILAi
APPEARS HINT
Allegiance Split Believed to
Be Inevitable.
HOSTILITIES TO FOLLOW
Danger Expected from Sinn Fein
and Military Trying to Get
to Their Gun First.
LONDON, Nov. 30. (By the Asso
ciated Press.) Government circles to
day expressed beliet that the Irish
conference would break down almost
immediately as a result of the dif
ficulties which have arisen and that
the resumption of armed hostilities
could not be postponed.
The alternative settlement plan sub
mitted by the government to theSinn
Fein representatives last evening in
cluded the necessity for a definite
undertaking: by the Sinn Fein to take
the oath of allegiance to the crown.
The Sinn Fein has many objections
to the government's new plan, but
even if it agreed to discuss this plan
it will not now give its assent to the
oath of allegiance proviso. It is said.
Allegiance la lawue.
Thus it appears, according; to gov
ernment officials, that the breach in
the negotiations, if it comes, as now
is feared, will take place over the
allegiance issue. There has been
hope of prolonging the truce and ad
journing the negotiations for an ad
ditional period of two months, but
this hope now has receded.
The moment a breach occurs, It Is
believed in these quarters that there
would be Imminent danger of the
Sinn Fein, on the one side, and the
police auxiliaries, on the other, try
ing to get to their guns first.
The military, it is Indicated, would
be put In charge of affairs in Ireland,
and Interference by civilian officials
with its action would not be permit
ted. Baftlneaa living May.
All government business Is giving
way to the gravity of the situation.
Both government and Irish circles ex
press the feeling that only a miracle
can avert collapse of the conference.
It had been intended to bold a cab
inet council tonight to consider Ger
man reparations, but this was post
poned to permit the special cabinet
committee dealing with Irish affairs
to assemble. Lord Birkenhead, due
to speak at a political meeting in
Liverpool, was obliged to stay in
London. He sent a message of
apology explaining that his absence
was owing to the "grave public af
fairs." Pino Fein Firm.
A spokesman of the Sinn Fein de
clared there was no intention by the
Sinn Fein to alter its attitude toward
either the unity of Ireland or al
legiance to the crown.
Kegardlng the suggestion that the
government will propose a new
scheme to Ulster, Sinn Fein dele
gates say they are not concerned with
it and refuse to share the govern
ment's responsibility for It There
was another session this evening of
the British delegates, but nothing was
forthcoming as a result of it.
"Whatever the result, Mr. Lloyd
George will go to Washington," one
official said.
It was said at Sinn Fein headquar
ters that such a move by the premier
would not be viewed with patience or
without suspicion, for the reason that
if Irish-American support was weak
ened, In consequence of the premier's
visit, the Sinn Fein might be forced
to modify its demand on which it
feels now In a position to persist.

Reduction Eight Cents an Hour.
Shifts Are Lengthened.
OREGON CITY, Or., Nov. 30. (Spe

Willamette Paper company and the
Hawley Pulp and Paper company will
reduce the wages of both day labor

cost.

ARMS EXPERT SAYS IT CAME
FROM BURNS REVOLVER.
With Testimony State Rests and
, Defense Opens and May Come
to Close Today.
One of the two bullets, found in the
body of James H. (Buck) rhillips,
murdered watchman, was fired from
the revolver of John L. Burns. Three
empty shells found in the railroad
yards on the morning of June 15, the
day following the murder, cams from
the same weapon. This was the posi
tive testimony of R. H. Craddock, po
lice firearm expert, In the trial of
Burns for the murder yesterday.
Craodock based his belief on micro
scopic examinations of the markings
on the shells and bullets compared
with similar markings on test ones
fired in the revolver found under a
pillow on a bed in Burn's Russell
street room.
Cross-examination failed to shake
Craddock's conviction that Burns'
weapon fired one of the shots that
killed Phillips. There were three
bullet wounds In Phillips' body and
three shells Identified by Craddock
as coming from Burns' weapon.
With Craddock's testimony, the
state, represented by Deputy District
Attorney Hammersly and Elton Wat
kins, rested. The defense, which is
belngf handled by Attorneys Mulkey
and Lewis, opened in the afternoon
session and may come to a close to
day. Mrs. Lucy Landram. 'William Hal
Ilgan and Edward L. Wells were the
first defense witnesses. . The first
testified that th night of the murder
was cloudy and rainy, the second that
a man could not be Identified two
feet away in the Alblna yards on a
cloudy night; the third, that weather
reports Indicated that there was a
"strong probability" that the skies
wars havtly clouded at 10 P. M. on
.the night fit June 5, J, R. Roark,
testified to attempting to recognize
persons in the yard on a cloudy night
and said It could not be done. Harry
Patterson, star witness for the state,
had identified Burns as one of two
men seen a few hundred yards from
the scene of the duel a few momenta
before firing opened.
Mrs. Burns, wife of the accused
man, was on the stand much of the
afternoon. She testified in the main
along the lines of her testimony in
the trial of Dan Casey, convicted pal
of Burns. She said that police offi
cers had been brutal to her; that they
endeavored to terrorize her by paint
ing pictures of her husband swinging
at the end of a rope; that they took
some of her belongings and did not
return them; that they endeavored to
bribe her six-year-old daughter with
candy to make damaging statements.
Mrs. Burns endeavored to establish
the alibi for Burns, along the lines
i of the alibi Burns suggested to Casey
In an intercepted note in evidence in
the trial. She said that he Intended
to go to lodge that night, but did not
feel well and had concluded to stay
home; that he was about 120 Rus
sell street virtually all evening and
retired about 10:30 o'clock She also
testified that one Charles B. Murray
approached Burns about 10 o'clock
and inquired about a room for the
night. This was 10 minutes before
the shooting occurred five miles
away. It is expected that Murray
will corroborate this today.

What the great
About Cooking
Electrically
Emile Baffly of the St. Regis Hotel has no peer
as a chef. You will be interested in the follow
ing convincing statement from unquestioned
authority. Chief Bailly says:
"I prefer roasting and baking by electricity
because the oven has an evenly distributed
heat which, under the switches and controls,
can be quickly turned from intense heat to
a very mild heat. In this way, when you put
your roast in, the surface is evenly and
quickly seared so that the juices in the meat
or bird or other viand are retained. Not only
that, but you do not have to prevent it from
being overbrowned or overcooked at any one
point. You just let it remain, simply waiting
to see that the cooking process has been com
pleted. This electric range helps to make St.
Regis cooking distinctive in quality and
flavor."
The reason why electrically cooked food has
such a superior flavor is because the food does
not come in contact with gases caused by com
bustion, and one of the most important consid
erations is the fact that meats shrink very much
less. For instance: If a 10 lb. roast of beef is
put into an ordinary oven there is only 7 lbs. left
when it is roasted, 307c at least of the roast
having been consumed, whereas, the shrinkage
in an electric oven is only 10.
This shrinkage is composed of juices or the nu
triment of the meat, and if it was all consumed
in the cookng there would be nothing left but a
hard, pulpy substance with no nutriment in it.
