Now PRESS RATHER FAVORABLE Tact Xoted That Premier Has : Olive Branch in One Hand ; and Sword in Other. LONDON, Dec. 11. Debate on the 1 government's Irish policy is expect ed to be opened in the house of com mons by liberal leaders next Tues- day. Announcement of martial law ; in southwestern Ireland, made by ! Premier Lloyd George before the house yesterday, was accompanied by , intimations that debate on the sub ject was not desired, but it appears . probable that the lower house of ' parliament may be called upon to de- ' cide whether the cabinet's plans re garding Ireland are to be carried into ' execution without the acquiescence of the legislative branch of the gov- ernment. This question, should it cpme to a . vote, would test the stability of the ! Lloyd George cabinet. ; Although the declaration of martial law in Ireland has been decided upon, the door to negotiations between the government, and the Sinn Kein is not ; considered closed. Comment in this morning's news papers relative to the government's ; Jrish policy, was, for the most part, ' restrained, and, with the exception ' of one journal, the government's pro posals were nowhere wholly . con demned. The feature of the premier's speech that did not escape notice was the fact he, was, in effect, holding an olive branch, in one hand and the sword in the other. "Few will question the wisdom and propriety of the new policy," said ; the London Times, "if the govern- ment shows a true and settled pur pose to encourage the forces making for honorable settlement. . Martial law under republican control is pref erable to the existing system of in- : discriminate and lawless reprisals." - . IRISH PRESS SOT SATISFIED Government Policy Toward Ireland Criticised in Belfast. BELFAST, Dec. 11. Criticism of the government's new policy toward Ire land was general in newspapers here today. With regard to the government's expressed willingness to meet Sinn Fein members of parliament, the Irish News points out that two Sinn Fein members have died in jail, at least a dozen are in prison and that perhaps a score or more are "on the run," and it adds: "The bill for the partition of Ire land is to be signed by the king be fore Christmas, whatever may befall." The unionist press looks with sus-f picion on the proposed Sinn Fein par ley. Comfort Is found, however, in the premier's promise to Ronald Macneil) to proceed witlr the present Irish home-rule bill. IRISH BOMB FACTORY: FOOD Large Quantity of Arms, Ammuni tion and Explosives Seized. DUBLIN, Dec. 11. A plant for the manufacture of bombs was discovered during an early morning raid today ; on a bicycle repair shop in the center " of Dublin. Large quantities of arms, ammuni tion, bombs and gelignite were seized. Three men were arrested, one of whom was shot and wounded while attempting to escape. Dublin Castle's account of the raid described the factory as equipped with furnaces and machinery of a modern i character. No workers were there, but the moulds still were warm. Two hundred bombs in various stages of manufacture were found. Loaded revolvers were in benches, presumably for the use of the work ers. It is estimated that the factory could turn out hundreds of bombs " monthly. LEilfiE AWAITS HIS M VAXDERL1P BACK FROM RUS SIA, DESCRIBES LEADER.

Admiral Scales, superintendent, said today HAYS RATED HIGHLY - IN-CABINET Party Service Eliminated"' in Case of Chairman. ABILITrCOMMANDS FAVOR Observers Say Energy and Talents Would Make Republican Manager - Big Asset for Mr. Harding. . BY MARK SULLIVAN. . WASHINGTON. Dec 11. (Special.) There is much talk of Will Hays as a cabinet possibility. If the cab inet offices were distributed on' the basis of party service. Hays would WEDDING be entitled to be offered a place. Of course. Hays himself would be the first to recognize that there is no such thing as a claim on a cabinet office. The cabinet is the president's! family, and he is entitled to choose it on .whatever basis of personal judg ment or personal comfort he may wish. That is the reason why all this discussion of cabinet1 possibili ties is a little distasteful and is un dertaken a little reluctantly. But Hays is so obvious in this kind of discussion that there is less hesi tancy about mentioning him. Even if there were any such thing as a claim on a cabinet office which there is not it could not be said that to have filled the office of-national chairman of the party gives the holder a right to expect a caolnet of fice. m - Two Intttances of Recognition. In the -last 20 years of American politics I can recall only two na tional chairman who became mem bers of the cabinet. These were Georse 'B. Cortelyou and Frank Hitch cock" The latter managed Taft's campaign in 1008 and Taft offered him the office of Postmaster-general. There was peculiar appropriateness in this. Hitchcock was already assistant- postmaster-general. Hitchcock did not want to take the office, but Taft insisted. In theend I imagine they both regretted it. Hitchcock, as national chairman, had had command. of all the party workers throughout the country and, in a sense, had put himself under ob ligation to them.. They, in turn, when they wanted patronage for themselves or for their friend?, looked to Hitch cock to get it., Hitchcock -became a kind of resident ambassador at Wash ington for all the office seekers in the country. The result, of course. was that every other cabinet, member rather set himself up against Hitch cock. Situation Painful All Around. Hitchcock, as postmaster-general, could take care of a good deal of patronage, but when there was a ' r,a,t wanted it, the party worker suffered rather than benefitted by Hitchcock's presence in the cabinet. It was a painful sfation to Hitchcock, ' to Taft, to the o trier cabinet members and, most of all, to the pary workers. The experience of Hitchcock and Taft is, of .course, no reason why Hays should decline a cabinet office if it should" be offered to him. Con ditions in this case are different in several particulars from what they were in the Taft-Hitchcock case. But there are other reasons . why Hays might or - might not wish to have Harding offer him a cabinet position. On the other hand, Hays is entirely capable of filling any one of several cabfnet offices, not merely with suc cess, but with distinction. To say Hays has ability is rather too obvi ous in view of the recent election, but even if the - republicans had lost the election no one who had any con tact with Hays would have altered the opinion that "in his line he is an extremely able person. liny Hated Able Organiirr. His ability obviously is chiefly in the line of organization and energy. He has an excellent sense of organi zation and his -Capacity to supply that organization with driving power was always the marvel of those who looked upon his frail -physique and pallid countenance' If-.nything, Hays is almost over-energetic. He is ac tive to a degree that leaves him no time for that kind ot ability which lies in the field of reflection. If Hays has a problem that involves thought and reflection, fiis way of solving is to run over a lia of prom inent republicans, pick the-one that has the best capacity for thought in that particular line and tell him that a judgment and decision will be called for at 5:45 P. M. the following night. Hays functions along the line of organization exclusively. He does not attempt much else. I have some times thought he did himself an injustice in this, for he -has the capacity for reflection, if he chooses to rely on it, and a decidedly marked capacity for aphoristic expression of common sense, but " Hays confines himself to organization. In that line his activity is pro-di&ous.- He -will be engaged in an SURVEY -f .j..:.zjja important conference In Indianapolis. At. 11:30 P. he will adjourn the conferences to meet at 2 -o'clock the following afternoon. Then he will take the midnight train to Chicae, l keep an engagement with someone,, j breakfast, take the five-hour train back to Indianapolis and resume the conference as scheduled. He will call you up on the long-distance telephone at such extraordinary hours that many persons doubt whether Tie ever ileps at all. He will keep an en gagement at rortiana, aie., jvionaay. in New York Tuesday, in Chicago Wednesday and so" on across the con tinent all the tfme keeping a stenog rapher busy on the train .and making innumerably engagements by long distance and telegraph. What is eveYi more engaging than ability, HayS has character. It is not -usual to f.in"d an elder in the Pres byterian church and a successful poli tician in one and the same 100 pounds of flesh. . , Hays Always Is (Conalntent. Anybody who had contact with the management of the recent campaign knows that as a politician Ha-s does nothing inconsistent with -beings a Presbyterian' elder. Whether as- a Presbyterian elder he does anything inconsistent "with being a politician is something that only the members of the Presbyterian church of Sulli van, Ind.,,can say. - It is one of the engaging things about Will Hays and one of the things that made him useful and suc cessful n hi Job that he is typical of-Gullivan, Ind.t one of those small L cities or 10, uuu population or less, ly ing, a considerable distance from any big city.

Police Believe Man Who Commit ted Murder in Portland in 1913 'ov in Custody. William McForter, alias Watson Collins, a negro, was arrested -yes-a terday in Everett, Wash., on a charge of murder alleged to have been com mitted by him in Portland August 19, 1913, when "Barber" Allen Clarke, a negro, was shot and killed in the "Bird Legs" club, a saloon at 91 Nftrth Park street run by "Bird Legs' Wil son. Lieutenant Du5 of the city de tectives, after a telephone conversa tion with Commiifesioner of -Public Safety Hunter of Everett, said that he was positive that the Everett au thorities had the right man. Clarke, who had a reputation as a bad man, was shot shortly after mid night. McForter disappeared the sime morning and had not been heard of until yesterday. The shooting was thought to have been the result ' of bad blood between the two negroes. Clarke drew first blood, according to the records in the office of the city detectives, by shooting McPorter three times about three months be fore he met his death. McPorter spent the better part of that time in a hospital. Coincident with Repor ter's discharge from the hospital oc curred the shooting of Clarke. It was thought to have been a matter of revenge. Although the crime is over seven years old, witnesses still are in Port land. Detectives could not state last night whether or not McPorter would be held for trial. There was no way to ascertain whether the grand Jury had ever returned an indictment against McPorter, and until further investigation is made no steps will be taken toward bringin g McPorter to Portland. Pending this Investi gation he will be held in the Everett city jail. CAROLS WILL BE . SUNG 5000 Singers Are Wanted "to Take Part in Street Music.

ANTI-ALIEN LAI LAW 11 DRASTIC California No Longer Permits Japanese to Lease Farrhs. : OLD LOOPHOLES CLOSED Xo One Ineligible to 'Citizenship May Become Guardian ef Minor Child Born American Citizen. " SACRAMENTO, Cal., Dec. 11 Cali fornia's new and more drastic anti alien land law, an initiative act ap proved at the general . election last month, became effective Thursday.- j It withdraws the three-year agri- cultural land leasing privileges .from 1 aliens ineligible to citlzenshin and seeks to close loopholes in thS" orig inal law of 1913 through which, it is said, Japanese were continuing to gain control, of Colifornia fdrm land. Specifically it provides that no alien ineligible to citizenship nor any organization controlled by such aliens may act as guardian of a minor who, because of birth in this country, may legally acquire agricultural land. The controversy over the measure brought forth ODposing interpreta tions of the treaty. bet ween the United States and Japan. The act provides that any alien" ineligible to citizen ship may acquire, use. transmit and inherit real property only -as pre scribed by treaty and not otherwise. Opponents of the law corftended that the provision of the treaty wRh Japan permitting Japanese in this country to "own or hire and occupy . . . lands for residential and com mercial purposes" must be inter preted to include agricultural lands. Treaty Intcfprrlpd Two Way.. "The treaty is intended." said the formal argument against the bill on the ballot, "to give the Japanese ' privilege to enter upon conyplete com- ' merce and therefor protects, their right to lease land for production." j This view was directly contrary to that of the supporters of the measure. I V. S. McClatchy in the formal au- I ment for the new -act wrote: "Treaty rights are fully safeguarded and citizenship of native born is not. affected. All 'Japanese legitimately here may remain indefinitely in any occupation selected by them, and will be Protected in all property rights acquired. As agricultural laborers in California they culd earn much more than in any occupation in their own land. The birthrate will insure in crease rather than decrease of the Japanese in this state." , The argument further pointed out -that in this measure California was seeking only to give to her citizens the same protection afforded by law in Japan to the citizens of that country. Treaty rrovlnlnnii to Govern. Among the new sections' added to the 1913 act by the new law are these: ."Hereafter all aliens, other than those specified in section one hereof (those eligible to citizenship), may become members of or acquire shares of stock in any company association or corporation that is or may be au thorized to acquire, possess, enjoy or cbnvey agricultural land, in the man ner an3 to the extent and "for the purpose prescribed by any treaty now existing between the government of the United States and the nation or country of which such alien is a citi zen or subject, and not otherwise. "Hereafter no alien mentioned in section two hereof (ineligible to citi zenship) and no company, association or corporation mentioned In section three hereof (controlleoTby ineligible aliens) may be appointed guardian of that portion of the estate of a minor which consfsts of property .which such alien or such company, associa tion or corporation is inhibited from acquiring, possessing or transferring by reason of the provisions of this act. The public administrator of the proper county, or any other compe tent person or corporation, may be appointed guardian of .the estate of a minor citizen whose parents are in eligible to appointment under the provisions of this act." Detailed Reports to Be Made. Such administrators as may be ap pointed under the provisions just quoted will be required, according to the new law. to make detailed reports on the estate they are administering to tne secretary of state. Violation of the provisions of the law referring to guardianship is ihade "a misdemeanor and shall be pun ished by a fine not exceeding S1000 or by imprisonment in the county jail not exceeding one year, or by both such fine and imprisonment." Conspiracy to effect a transfer of real property in violation of the pro visions of the law is made punishable by imprisonment in the county jail or state penitentiary not exceeding two years, or by a fine not exceeding J5000 or both. ' The act does not affect pending ac tions or proceedings. ;. ' Alleged JQjstiUers' Arraigned. T. W.
