! BACK LLOYD GEORGE
Vote on Irish Policy
Counted Probable.
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.

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

Wednesday and so" on across the con
tinent all the tfme keeping a stenog

innumerably engagements by long

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

SLAYER SUSPECT HELD
NEGRO ARRESTED-IX EVERETT
THOUGHT WANTED HERE.
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.
The venerable custom of singing
Christmas carols through the streets
on Christmas eve,' which was revived
in an organized way by Portland Com
munity Service last year, again will
be sponsored by the organization this
year.
"We had about 2000 carolers on the
streets last Christmas eve," said Ex
ecutive Secretary Jenkins, and we
hope this year that we will have at
least 5000.
"Detroit stands out as the foremost
city in the United States in this work.
After several years of co-operative
efforts laat year it had 10,000 people
singing carols. "There is nothing
that will usher in the real spirit of
Christmas better tMan this ancient
custom. The idea is commending it
self everywhere."
The office of Community Service
will be the clearing house for this
project It has a supply of the carol
song sheets on hand now at 436

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. ;. '

have found the powder made by The Giant Powder Co. to
be the most satisfactory. Each certain percentage of Giant
Powder is exactly what it is represented to be."
