Feature Arrival of Cork Mayor's
Widow at Capital.
THE OREGONIAN NEWS BVREAU,
Washington. Dec 4. When Mrs.
Muriel MacSwiney. widow of the lord
mayor of Cork, who died In Brixton
Jail . of self-imposed starvation, ar
rives in Washington next Wednesday,
she will find the Irish independence
forces in the United States torn by
dissension and on the verge of civil
war.
The widow of the man whom Sinn
Feiners regard as a mrtyr is coming
here to testify before the committee
of one hundred, a commission which
has set itself up to inquire into con
riitinn in Ireland. Since this com
mission assigned itself the task thered
has been a breach in the Irish-American
forces backing , the independent
republic of Ireland.
New Organisation Fornifd.
This fight was led. up to a (hort
time ago, by the Sons of Irish Free
dom, but this body proved too con
servative for some of the leaders in
the movement, and another organiza
tion was formed which calls itself
the American Association for the
Recognition of the Irish Republic.
Bishop M. J. Gallagher of Detroit is
the national president of the Sons of
Irish Freedom, while Frank P. Walsh
is the leader of the new organization.
The split came when the Sons of
Irish Freedom frowned on the activi
ties in this country of Eamonn da Va
leru, so-ciUled president of the Irish
republic. The organization felt that
some of Valera's movements were of
fensive to Americans and that he was
going entirely too far in pressing his
cause in the country. One example
of this was when he addressed the
radicals who met in Chicago last July
under the party name of the commit
tee of 4S.
Conservative Body Balkx.
The conservative Irish leaders felt
that this was carrying the fight for
Irish freedom here to un-American
lengths, because it amounted, in their
opinions, to tying up the Irish inde
pendence cause with a movement for
revolution in this country. The Va
lera followers did not shrink from the
charge, being frank to say that they
were ready to go in for revolution in
this country if revolution was the
means necessary for helping Ireland
And hurting England.
Daniel F. Cohalan of New York,
who has been the political, leader for
the Sons of Irish Freedom from the
beginning. Immediately protested
against some of the activities of the
Yalera followers as unwise and un-
American and this resulted in the
formation of the new society known
as the Association for the Recognition
of the Irish Republic. Frank P. Walsh
will lead this organization, which
purposes to tie his cause up with all
of the oppressed peoples of the world
and make the fight international
rather than national.

The Sons of Irish Freedom will con
tinue the conservative fight, seeking
to win support inthe United States by

WASHINGTON. Dec. 4. (Special.)
Senator Harding- arrives In America
tomorrow. By an interesting coinci
dence, which has, however, no more
than a whimsical significance, he ar
rives exaclty two years after the day
when President Wilson went out on
his unprecedented trip.
Many of the questions which Presi
dent Wilson went to Paris to settle
are today almost as unsettled as they
were then, and those questions which
have been the burden of the last two
years of domestic and international
politics again will be the principal
questions that Mr. Harding will take
up with the advisers he has summoned
to confer with him next week. Dur
ing these two past years forces of na
ture and the laws of economics have
made some little progress toward
healing, but the statesmen and the
politicians have lie en less successful.
Advice to Be Varied.
The public curiosity is chiefly in- j
tent on whom Senator Harding has
chosen to come' to see him and talk
with him, and is focused on finding"
out what the president-elect says to
his callers. But no less Importance
attaches to what the callers say to
Mr. Harding.
"And this latter is for the present
much easier to find, out ox surmise
with reasonable accuracy. Within
the past two tr three weeks I have
talked with most of the men whom
Harding has invited tT counsel with
hun and it Is comparatively easv to
predict what counsel they will give
him.
This counsel will be varied in sub
ject and on many points contradic
tory. The more eager one might
say the more excitable of his vis
itors will urge Mr. Harding to put
his mend instantly and exclusively on
what they refer to as business con
ditions. BaninriM Relief Ursed.
Several of the republican senators
and other leaders believe that the
suffering of the business men from
recent events in the financial and
economic field is not only a matter
of immediate concern, but tends to
run on into an economic condition
which may affect large numbers and
all classes of the community, and may
reverse the political conditions that
gave Harding and the republican
party so large a majority last month.
These leaderswill plead with Hard
ing that the most immediate duty is
to take such measures as are pos
sible for quick relief, and. In addi
tion to make announcement of policy
and of appointments of a character
to create confidence for the future.
Specifically, some of these leaders
will advise Mr. Harding to announce
the names of his secretary of state
and his secretary of the treasury as
early as possible without waiting to
name the rest of hii cabinet, so that
the public generally.' and business
men more especially, may get from the
announcements some assurance as to

While two robbers were attempt
ing to rob Max and Isidore Goldberg,
as they sat in their automobile last
night at the corner of First and Curr

Prices' Advance 25 Cents
and Demand Increases.
SOUTHERN CROPS ARE SHORT
Buyers in East and Europe
Turning to Northwest. v
OUTLOOK IS IMPROVED
PaciHc Market Trend Is Upward
Owing to Overestimated Supplies
in Countries Below Equator.
Wheat farmers of the Sereif ic north
west, with half of their crop still un
sold, stand a good chance to realize
much more on their grain than
seemed likely a week or two ago.
Prices have , advanced 25 cents a
bushel in the last week and with the
attention of buyers in the east and
in Europe turned this way, I is en
tirely possible that prices will go still
higher.
Unsatisfactory crop prospects in the
southern hemisphere seem to be re
sponsible for the present flurry in the
wheat market. So evenly' balanced
have supplies and demand been in the
United States and Canada that grain
experts months a:go declared that if
anything went -wrong south of the
equator, wheat prices would start
climbing again. The buyers for the
European governments particularly
Great Britain evidently feared that
such a th'ng might happen and they
overlooked no opportunity to bear
down American prices and buy as
cheaply as they could. Now, when
there is evidence that the southern
wheat yield will not be ap large as
anticipated, there is a great scramble
to get possession of the grain.
Australian Crop Over-estimated, -
Private cable messages received
yesterday stated that the Australian
commission has withdrawn all offers
to sell, owing to the fact that the
crop had been over-estimated and
that weather conditions were adverse.
A few days ago it was announced that
the entire Australian crop had been
sold to Europeans. Efforts now are
being made to buy back some of the
wheat that has been sold. Nothing
would be likely to "bull" the market
more than such a procedure.
There also were reports during the
day that Argentina is experiencing
bad weather. The exportable surplus
already has been reduced 20,000,000
bushels, and this may be further cut
unles. that country has better
weather. .
According to trade estimate, the
United States aid Canada, on Decem
ber 1, had sold more than 300,000.000
bushels of wheat. This is more than
the exportable surplus available in
North America, in the viev. of grain
men, and it also has served to excite
the market.
Premiums on cash'wheat yesterday
advanced from 3 to 10 cents in var
ious parts of the east, which is a
plain indication of the scarcity of
spot wheat there.
Buyers Torn to Northwest.
With much grain still to be found
in the Pacific northwest, the buyers
have, therefore, turnedin this direc
tion. Eastern millers and exporters
were in the market yesterday and
were offering prices about 10 cents a
bushel higher than Friday.
No figures are available as to the
amount of business done by north
coast exporters, but it is believed sev
eral million bushels were, sold during
the week to the British royal commis
sion, and also to buyerX in Spain,

Peculiar Accident Makes "Workman
Prisoner at Dizzy Height for
. Three Hours Before Rescue"
WR. Stanlake, a rigger, employed,
by the Dolan Wrecking company, was
held a prisoner at the top of a 130
foot pole in the yard of the Columbia
River Shipbuilding company for nearly
three hours yesterday, before other
workers 'could rescue him from his
perilous position. When taken down
he complained of a severe pain in a
leg, which had been crushed against
a pole. He was taken to "St. Vincent's
hospital, where it was said .his in
juries were not serious.
The accident occurred whenone of
the aerial poles, part of the wreck
ing rigging, crashed to the ground,
leaving Stanlake pinioned to another
pole by pressure of a cable. The fall
ing pole hit L. Hammerfield, a truck
driver for the Dolan Wrecking com
pany. He V-as taken to Sellwood hos
pital with several brokfn ribs and
other injuries.
Stanlake's rescue vas effected by
David Peterson, a rigger, who made
the dizzy climb up the pole and
fastened a rigging which would per
mit him to bring Stanlake to earth in
safety. It was necessary to call upon
the fire department for aerial ladders
to assist before Peterson could make
his way up the swinging pole.

valuable articles were taken. The
tools used In removing the lock were
stolen from the Cummings black
smith shop. The burglary was not !
discovered until the store was opened
this morning. The company carried
no burglar insurance. The sheriff at
Vancouver, Wash., has been notified.

Talk Brings Break.
PARAGUAY BACKS DELEGATION
Big Powers Disregard Feel
ings of Latin Nations.
REQUIEM FOR ARTICLE X
Canadian Delegate Sajs Section of
Covenant AVas -Sever Ap
proved by Dominion.
GENEVA, Dec. 4. (By the Asso
ciated Press.) The Argentina delega
tion withdrew from the league as
sembly today. It was the first reef
struck during the three weeks' de
iberation which 'had been going on
with reassuring smoothness until it
got into a fog in the discussion ft
amendments.
Independence shown by Honorio
Pueyrredon in voting againt. post-
ponement of" consideration of the .
amendments and his breaking of the
assembly's unanimity, with Senor Ve
lasquez of Paraguay supporting him.
were regarded as ominous of a stormy
session, but the Argentine delega
tion's extreme action in withdrawing
was unexpected.
There were two currents of opinion
this evening. One is that the direct
ing minds have too much neglected
tho feelings of the smaller powers and
have erred m opposing discussion of
the amendments: the other is that the
Argentine delegation has been too
precipitate in its action.
Amendment Is Favored-
There is rib indication that the other
South American delegates will follow
the example of Argentina; most of
them favor Pueyrredon's amendments,
but will not go to the extent of with
drawing if they are not taken into
consideration.
Dr. Octavio of Brazil said he re
gretted that the Argentine delegation
had found it necessary to take such
radical action. He hoped the with
drawal would be only temporary.
From another Latin-American dele
gation it was learned there is much
feeling over the manner in which the
South and Central American delega
tions have been treated. The sensi
tiveness characteristic of the Latin
people, it is declared." has not been
taken into consideration In applying
rules of the assembly, which are still
illy defined and Imperfectly under
stood by the delegates. Several
South Americans have considered
themselves "roughly treated."
Latins Resent Treatment.
There is, moreover, a marked sen
timent among smaJler powers that
they are not expected to take any
conspicuous part.
M. Hymans, president, has been in
consultation with M. Vivianl of
Franco and other delegates regard
ing the situation arising out of
Pueyrredon's letter announcing with
drawal. M. Hymans declined to
make any statement before ho placed
the matter before the assembly.
An amendment to the covenant to
the league of nations eliminating ar
ticle X, the most mooted section of
the pact, was introduced in the as
sembly of the league by Charles 3.
Doherty, Canadian minister of justice.
The amendment will probably be re
ferred to the committee on amend
ments. The text of Mr. Doherty's resolution
reads: . r
"Resolved, Tna article 10 of the
covenant of the seague of nations be
and is hereby strlcKen out."
