republican army tootball team, cap
tured at Dromora last month, were
released from the Londonderry jail
today, in conformity with the order
Issued last night by Viscount Fitzalan,

border in Donegal by British troops.
They vert accompanied on the re-,
mainder of their Journey by Com
mandant Shicl cf Ionegal, Sinn Fein
liaison officer.
The situation In northern Ireland is
considerably calmer than at any time
luring the last week, and the fear of
a clash on the southern frontier has
dwindled.
nival Retain Position.
The rival forces, tfowever, retain
their positions along- the border and
hope is expressed that the next ,few
days will see them withdrawn.
Meanwhile; the joint liaison com
missions w.ere understood to have
begun their operations. Two British
officers and two officers of the Ulster
special constabulary form the north
ern commission, with headquarters at
Clogher; the southern commission
comprises two British and two pro
visional government officers, with
their base at Monaghan. They will
apparently institute a aoipt patrol,
keeping in touch with eacn o.ther and
using their influence where ft may be
needed In the interest of peace.
Belfast Krmniiu Quiet.
Tt was stated unofficially that the
decision to release the Irish republi
can army football players from the
Londonderry jail was reached when
the northern government informed
the British government that it had
abandoned Its intention to .prosecute
the men.
A party of class B specials chal
lenged a Crossley tender bearing a
number of specials to the Oavan
county line yesterday. The driver of
the tender did' not stop, whereupon a
member of the challenging party
fired, killing Constable McEnnis. The
incident, which was supposed to have
been due to a mistake, occurred on
the northern side of the border.
Belfast remained quiet and the cost
of the recent violence was being
reckoned. Aside from the numerous
deaths and injuries there are mone
tary claims for compensation amount
ing to more than 600,000.

INDICTMENTCAST OUT
New Bill on Holdups Charge Is-
Returned Against Pair,
"H"m, this looks natural," was the
comment of Circuit Judge Evans
when he looked over the array of
counsel yesterday morning as prep
arations were being made to try
William Lawler and Carl Lind for a
holdup. There was George Graham,
deputy district attorney, appearing
for the state, and Frederick M. Demp-
Bey, ex-deputy district attorney, both
IN
mm
of whom . had served - under ! Judge
Evans when he was district attorney
for Multnomah county.
In a few minutes Judge Evans was
required to disappoint one of his ex
associates In deciding a technical
point of law. Dempsey raised the
question that the indictment accusing
Lawler and Lind of holding up George
J. Smith, proprietor of the Economy
grocery, 614 East Clinton street, on
November 28, 1921, and robbing him
of $122 was insufficient in that it ac
cused the pair of taking the money
from Smith, but not from the "per
son" of Smith.
Judge Evans ruled that the point
wag "well taken" and ordered the in
dictments dismissed. The case was
taken immediately by Graham be
fore the grand jury and a new indict
ment issued, correcting the mistake
in the old. The charge in the first
indictment was "assault and robbery,
being armed with a dangerous
weapon," and in the second, "assault
with Intent to rob."
Trial of the case may not be before
April, due to the congested condition
of the docket.

to him lor the Initiation of his great
Idea.
"But in thanking the president, we
cannot forget what has been ac
knowledged by all who participated
in the proceedings of the conference,
how much was due to the skill, cour
tesy and tact with which Mr. Hughes,
the secretary ef state, presided over
the deliberations.
"What has jbeen accomplished and
ratified by the delegates is of pre
eminent importance, but apart from
the great measure of its work, has
not the conference kindled among the
nations of the world a new spirit
which is quickening the old diplomacy
and giving it an international rather
than a mere national character; l
am with you in heart tonight."
Prince of Wales Sends Regrets.
The Pf-ince of Wales cabled from
Delhi his regrets at being unable to
be present. Prince Arthur of Con-
aught, governor-general of tne
Union of South Africa, sent a message
paying tribute to Mr. Balfour. The
chairman of the Pilgrims' Society of
the United States cabled, rejoicing
that "thanks largely to Anglo-Ameri
can co-operation, In which Mr. Bal
four took so loyal a part, the Wash
ington conference has knit still closer
these bonds of kinship and affection
between the two great English-speak
ing nations."
The Duke of York said that Mr.
Balfour was no less an ambassador
f the human race than an envefy of
the British empire, for he was as con-
erned with the happiness ot tne
world at lare as the immediate wel
fare of his country. No task couiu
be more congenial to him and none
worthier of his talents, he added.
Following is the text of Ambassa-
or Harvey's speech at the Pilgrim's
inner here tonight, welcoming mr.
Balfour:
The first thousrht that occurs to
one's mind in contemplation of this
felicitous occasion is of its appropn-
ateuess. Sixteen weeks ago to an
hour the" Pilgrims assembled here to
bid Godspeed to Mr. Balfour on tne
eve of his departure to the land
which, though- still far distant, has
become in that brief period far less
foreign.
It. was not to him a great aaven-
ure; he was not following an unirou-
en Dath into an unknown forest. He
was merely passing from the home
of his birth to the homes oi his kin
dred; from the empire of his devo-
ion to the republic of nis irienasnip.
His primary purpose, as ever in over
half a century of continuous activity,
was to serve his country. His high
aspiration, closely allied with and in
separable from his foremost intent,
was - to provide sustaining hope for
starving mankind.
Both Endeavors Held Success.
'He succeeded In both endeavors to
degree exceding any anticipa
tion that then could have been war
ranted by reason. No one could real
ize more clearly than myself the fu
tility of any effort of my own to
enhance by so muoh as a gleam, the
luster of the noble tribute already
paid Mr. Balfour by the president of
the United States :n a message to
the prime minister, and yet I hope I
may add without seeming presump
tion a simple expression of the firm
conviction that never before did a
chief magistrate of the republic voice
more accurately the true feeling of
his countrymen.
In their hearts, I know l can eay
without exaggeration, without a sug
gestion of flattery, or hardly of sen
timent, but with absolute certainty,
Mr. Balfour is enshrined. That is the
highest honor within the power of
the American people to confer on any
man.
Message One of Homage.
Such is the unaffected message ot
homage I fetch tonight to this pll
erim of pilgrims. Its inadequacy Is
aparent, but its sincerity you will not

necessarily I speak for my govern
ment It Is not complete. I should be

"Nevertheless, I have confidence

I remark to any Americans here that

should not profess since simulated
perfection serves only as a bar to
progress, but modest gratification

nestor of the senate, erudfite in cloia-
teral aloofness, but dashing as ' a
knight of old in political affray;
Oscar WV Underwood, a happy blend
of the fine spirit of the old south
and the high spirit of the new, and
finally Charles Evans Hughes, direct
ive by nature. Incisive from instinct,
the embodiment, of justice, the latest
among the fearless leaders to fire a
shot heard around, the world.
Praise Given to Harding.
"Thus would I depict without un
due encomium the four Americans, all
descended as directly and exclusively
from British stock as the British
delegates themselves. Do not mis
take me, I would not hall them as
supermen, much less as prophets;
they were eimply the best the presi
dent had to give, and they simply did
the best they could. That is all that
can or could be said.
"I might without Inviting cavil
speak a word or two to my country
about the president and the part he
played in the great event, but the
necessity does not exist. The king
did that the other day from the
throne. 'Our relations with the
United States,' he declared, 'enter upon
a new and even closer phase -of
friendship" for the great results at
tained' and for the success of the
conference; he added, 'The world will
owe a deep debt ot gratitude to the
initiative of the president of the
United States.'
Words Are Impressive.
"The words thus spoken with that
peculiar power conveyable only by
fitting restraint of diction and ringing
sincerity of expression, were of all I
have heard the most noteworthy and.
In the perfect stillness of that
crowded historic hall, the most im
pressive. From a wholly true king
to a very real president went forth
from one great liberty-loving people
to another, a message of faith and
fidelity such as I doubt ever before
was issued from that place of the
highest honor.
"I could not but recall the incep
tion of the undertaking thus ae
chaimTsdi Some 300 years ago ' the
original Mayflower bore the original
pilgrims to the new Plymouth across
the turbulent Atlantic; Its arrival
marked the beginning of a new era
In the development of a great conti
nent. On a certain Saturday hardly
seven months ago, a modern May
flower bore the chief magistrate of
that new land down the broad
Potomac to the open sea. In the
morning he directed the. anchoring of
tne yacnt in a secluded cave, and
disappeared below. ' Emerging later
he handed the captain a paper for the
radio operator. Thereon, written in.f338 acres of swamp lands from Ew
ht own hand, was the announcement
ofiis decision to call a conference at
Washington, . whose culmination
fetched us together tonight.
Determination No Hasty.
"Although in the end 'reached
quickly, it was no.t a hasty determina
tion. In one respect, President Hard
ing bears a striking resemblance to
the elephant which symbolizes his po
litical party; he tests with painstak
ing caution every plank, in crossing a
bridge, but when convinced of firm
footing, over he goes. v
"Mark you, this for example:
"That selfsame message forbade
publication of the announcement un
less the co-operation he considered
essential to succeed could first be 'as
sured. Those of you who were here
when we bade farewell to Mr. Bal
four will recall the closing of the
episode within -an Incredibly brief
period? of time at Chequers Court and
the foreign office. So you. see and
this is the only point which relieves
the happening 6f triviality but for
the Initiative of America, the confer
ence -would not have been called; but
for the acquiescence of Great Britain
it would not have been.
Only Bis; Phases Touched.
'Another 'might have taken its
place, but happily speculation is no
longer requisite, and after all, what
has happened can always be contem
plated with fuller assurance than
what might have been. Time is often,
as the law lords say, of the essence
of a contract andin this instance I
have reason to believe it was. It is
not for me, even as a faithful sup
porter of the marquis' of Curzon, to
recount the achievements at Washing
ton. That pleaBing task awaits the
a.nnl1r.atinn nf fuller knowledge and
a more dexterous hand, t shall barely
touch one or two of the many out
standing phases.
"Mueh has been said from time to
time of the sacrifices by. various pow
ers respecting especially their rela
tive importance. Be it known at the
outset that for generosity, thus im
plied, the United States deserves no
credit whatever. She made no sacri
fice none. . She scrapped many costly
warships, abandoned vast projects of
fortification, sniffed at the false
pride of becoming the first naval
power and snuffed out what was left
of her great army. But all these
doings Involved no sacrifice. They
constituted a boon. They reduced
taxes, released present millions and
future billions of dollars for develop
ment ot lands and industries, and
transferred brawn -and skill from
floating slaughter houses to shops and
factories for the building of homes,
cburches and schools. So, far from
entailing loss, they, produced only
gam to ourselves and to the world.
Peace Declared Assured.
"Peace on the Pacific is assured for
years, for all time, by so vast an ac
complishment that I simply cannot
let It pass without mention. And
when I say 'assured,' I speak ' from
information the exactness of which
is beyond question that the ratifica
tion of these compacts, all of them,
by the British parliament is no more
certain than their ratification .by the
senate of the United States and that
much sooner than commonly antici
pated.
"To my mind, my lords and gentle
men, the greatest achievement of the
Washington, conference was no
achievement at all; it was revelation
the revelation of Great Britain to
America and of America to Great
Britain. All of us here have ac
claimed for years what we rejoiced
to believe was the natural affinity, the
increasing fraternity of our two peo
pies. To utter such a misgiving as

heretic. If evidences were not wholly

dictum of America's greatest senator

Mutant Gains Considered.
