Declaring that Ireland now enjoys a greater measure of freedom and prosperity than ever before in her history and that the attempt of the Sinn Fein to establish an Irish re public and break away from the British empire, is based purely on religious controversy. Rev. Louis Crooks, pastor of Knockbreda Epis copal church of Belfast, addressed a gathering at the T. M. C. A. audi torium Sunday afternoon. Crooks avers that he represents the Protes tant churches of Ireland and Is tour ing the United States in a cam paign opposed to the efforts of the friends of the Irish republic. Accompany In g Crooks are Rev. Wil liam Corkey, pastor of Townsend street Presbyterian church of Belfast and Rev. q. Wesley Maguire, who served as chaplain with British forces in France. The three visitors appeared In a num ber of Protestant pulpits Sunday morn ing and afternoon and Corkey addressed a meeting at 'the Y. W.' C. A. in the afternoon. CBOOKS IS DISPUTED Disputing the assertions of Crooks and his party as to the - prosperity of the Irish people and the freedom said to have been given them by the Eng llsh government Lindsay Crawford. president of the Protestant Friends of Ireland, addressed a mass meeting at The Auditorium Sunday night Crawford is editor of the Toronto (Canada) States man and has been a resident of that city for nine years. He was formerly editor of the Ulster Guardian of Bel fast figured as president of the Inde pendent Orange lodges and was a mem ber of the synod of the Episcopal church of Ireland. Crawford denied that Crooks and bis party represent the Protestants of Ire land, and also denied that the offort of the Sinn Feiners to establish an inde pendent government is based on re ligious controversy. He cited many in stances of opposition of the Pope to the revolution In Ireland and declared that there are Catholics in Ireland who are as bitterly opposed to the Sinn Fein movement as are the small croup of Protestants In Ulster. On the other hand, he said, there are thousands of Proteetants'among the Sinn Feiners. SIX FXI5EM DEFEATED "The delegation of Ulster Protestant Unionists, to which Crooks and bis party belong, is beaded In this country by W. J. Coote. M. P., representing South Tyrone, said Crawford. "There are over 22,000 voters in Coote's con stituency and of this total he received 10.SI0 in the recent election, the Sinn Fein and Nationalist candidates receiv ing over 8000 votes. In the faee of this fact Coote claims to represent a homo genous population opposed to the free dom of Ireland." "The returns of the general election of December 14. 1918, compiled by British election officers, show that out of a total of 1.H5.861 votes cast throughout Ire land only 308.71 were registered in fa vor of a union with Great Britain ; that 71.749 votes were cast for the Immedi ate establishment of the republic and that 235,206 were for candidates stand ing on a platform favoring eelf-determl nation. BE PUBLIC IS FAVORED "These figures show," said the speaker, "that out of every three voters at that election two voted for the Irish repub lic! ; out of every five voters four voted for self-determination and that only one voter in every five voted for English rule. Among other Indications of prosperity In Ireland, Crooks called attention to an alleged increase in the number of live stock in the country and to the deposits lir banks which, he averred, surpass all previous records. Crawford on- the other hand asks the diminishing of the population from 8,295,000 in 1841 to 4.890,000 in 1911 is not of more serious consequence than the increase In livestock. "Their own argument would seem to be an ad mis slon that the Irish policy of the British government has been to convert Ireland into a pasture for raising beef tor Eng land." At The Auditorium a resolution pre pared by officials of the Protestant Friends of Ireland condemning the at tempt of the "Tory element in Ulster" to make it appear that the controversy Is based on religious differences, was passed. Clarke Letter, president of the Press club, presided at the meeting and a preliminary address was delivered by juage k. k. uutier or The Dalles. Tonight at 8 o'clock Crooks and his party will address a mass meeting at xne Auaitortura. The house' will be open at 7:15 and a musical program will take up the interval before the speaking be gins. MYERS HOLDING TOO (Coatianad Prom Put On.) case between Barclay and me. We are the best of friends personally, so far as I am concerned. SBBVICE MTIR AIM "The first consideration in the con tention here is service to the public. So long as I ant postmaster I- propose to see that service is not Impaired in any way." Barclay is reputed To have stated that he would tiot permit Myers to exercise tne agues of postmaster, nor to occupy the private effuse.; He has therefore as sumed an Myers duties, but It is denied that he made the latter statement It is now declared by assistants to Barclay that Myers may remain in the office until some further action-is taken tor ward demanding Mr resignation and that, in any evsnU there is considerable detail, work of the retired, administration of poetoffice affairs that, only Myers can clear away, such as .reports and the - Ilka,-i- . : - ' .-v, -;:-:-; Myers has stated rtpeatedir that . will decline absolutely to relinquish the office, until ordered to do so by Preal-' dent wuson ana untu tnsi orasr nss been confirmed by the senate and a hearing befors the postofflce appropri ations committee has been granted htm. To fortify himself in that position Myers has consulted local legal talent Inclydin?, it la said. Judge Martin X Pipes.- '" -.Vv-" . - : v Myers and Araistsnt Postmasler-IIarry NSPECTOR ON JOB General Burleson to submit their reslg- nation, effective at the close of busineae Saturday, January 81. , Dorand promptly compiled with' the order and this morn ing did not appear at the office. He de clared his intention to comply explicitly j with ua irmtraction from Washington. ; Not only has Durand formally submit-; ted his resignation but n did not com municate with Myers or with his own private secretary, who appeared as usual and remained at her work. "Great as has been the injustice done me, Durand declared this morning, "I firmly believe the poetoffice department Is fast learning the true situation rela tive to the trouble in the Portland post office and that Justice and right will pre vail in the end." So the situation stood late this morn ing. MeaaVfcile observers are confident that proceedings will wax warm before the day is done. It is pointed by observers of the sit uation that a writ of ouster will be sought direct .from Washington and will be transmitted through the hands of the United States marshal. Whether or not such a formal ouster for Myers has been started is not revealed. BARCLAY EXPERIENCED MAX Barclay has spent very little time at the poetoffice thus far today. He has actively supervised the work, neverthe less, and has a staff of assistant in spectors at work throughout the office. The chief inspector has jurisdiction over the four Northwestern states and is a man of long experience in postal department activities. He was for years identified with the saijway mail service and has for a long tme been in the Inspectors' department advancing through the respective grades to chief of the Spokane division. Barclay Is declared to be one of the most thoroughly equipped men in the poetoffice department and they declare that be has been close to Postmaster General Burleson, a fact which has caused Burleson to assign to Barclay many personal and very delicate inves tigations for the-department The chief is a brother-in-law of Nor man Hotter of' Helena, Mont, a fact said by his. friends to be significant The annual inspection, of tne Port land office was practically completed Saturday night under the directions of the inspector's department Of the In spection Myers said today: "The annual inspection or the postof- flce. completed Saturday night, shows everything in " excellent condition. Every financial transaction checked out to a cent ' L MAKES TREAJY COUP (Continued Prom Pic One.) though they could force the treaty in the senate without him, votes to ratify are not in sight unless concessions are made to his pride of leadership. Senator Lenroot of the Lodge faction Is understood to have prepared a new Article X and there are other gleams of light in the wilderness which will be followed up during the present week. EACH SIDE SEES ADVANTAGE IN VISCOUNT GREY LETTER Washington. Feb. 2. (U. P.) Vis count Grey's letter urging that Amer ican reservations to the peace treaty be accepted by the British was taken today by senators on both sides of the treaty controversy as vindicating their positions. Republicans said Grey has proved what they have contended all along that the allies would accept reasonable American reservations, just to get the United States into the league. Democrats said Grey's reference to 'repudiating signatures" tells the whole story of President Wilson's Inability to compromise with the senate and Justi fies their stand against the Lodge res ervations. Grey's letter was the general topic among senators today. Senators who favored- reservations held that Grey's letter took the ground out from under those members who were against any reservations whatever, and who have said that the allies would not accept them. It was pointed out that Britain, the principal associate of the United States in the war, expresses through Grey a willingness to accept many of the reservations which have been brooosed. His attitude and the fact that he even went so far as to argue in faor of certain American reservations, is expected to strengthen the stand of senators who favor "quick ratification on a compromise basis," even if practically all the Lodge reservations have to be accepted. Senators today were watching closely for some sign of what the White House thinks about the British attitude, fresi dent Wilson's stand all along has been that he could not accept changes In the treaty or the League Of Nations cove nant because he had signed the original documents, thus promising the allies that they ""would be accepted- by the United States. Grey's letter, it was believed, gives the president opportunity to change this position, if he so desires.. In fact some senators thought Grey had almost in vlted him to do so. - The former ambassador's letter repre? sentg the official policy of Great Britain towards American ratification, it is understood here. While in Washington he consulted with many senators and "sised up" the situation at first hand. went home and reported to bis -govern ment and shortly thereafter wrote his letter to the London Times. ? LODGE STEALS MARCH ON - LEADER OF DEMOCRATS Washington, Feb. 2. -(U. F.)Senntor Lodge's announcement made Just after the senate met. apparently astounaea Democratic senators, who asked him to repeat it -The surprise was due to the fact that last week Senator Walsh of Montana gave notice on behalf of Sen ator Hitchcock that the latter would move on February 10 to take up the treaty. Lodge thus forestalled Hitch cock by setting the date of his motion one day ahead of Hitchcock's. "I sincerely hope," said Lodge In making his announcement, "that unan- imous consent will not . be refused, if it is I shall make the necessary mo tion.'" . " ' - .'' ''Why wait so longr" asked Senator Ashurstvbf .Arlxona, Democrat "Why not tomorrow or next, day T s "v ; "Til aav to the senator." . renlied Lodge, "that I've given that considered tlon.

FINAL TESTING OF RED JURY ISUNDER WAY ( Con tinned From pc One) The prosecution objected to the ques tion as totally immaterial. The objec tion was sustained, and the court re fused to hear Vanderveer's explana tions as to why it was asked. I wish an exception, not only to his honor's ruling, but also to his refusal to hear me on the matter," Vanderveer retorted sharply. "If you knew that the L W. W. was trying to destroy the profit system. would that prejudice you against them?" the defense asked. "No," Crass replied. The juror was asked if he thought the defendants in the courtroom were me same as those who did the killings at Centralla. "I think they are or they wouldn't be here," Crass replied, and everyone laughed. Vanderveer s challenge was sus tained. Walter Quennel!. called this morning for examination to fill the place of W. i r r erguson, cnatiengea oy me by0"; cution Saturday, was accepted prosecution, but challenged by Vender veer following his examination.

He had also subscribed to the American Legion building fund in Hoquiam. He was not opposed to union labor. the juror said, and has participated in strikes as a member of the Glasswork ers' union. Although taking many newspapers, he had had little opportunity to read, he said, because of bis business, the papers being for consumption by his customera When shown the newspapers that have already been introduced, how ever, he remembered having read many things about the Centralla affair. Vanderveer became so insistent in this examination that Attorney W. H. Abel protested. LOOKS LIKE JURT TRIAL "These jurors are not on trial here," he exclaimed. "One would think that every person called here is a felon because he reads a newspaper. .These people came here with only the vaguest ideas of what they read in the newspapers and A PALACE OF PEACOCKS W Mary 0km0$ Pickford , mk ' in the Wonderful Clad yfi W r J The . most expert t It h t'CyAytf production ever shown ,V ? f - to the Motion Picture 'J tP ij'jr PEOPLES AUGMENTED ORCHESTRA EACH AFTERNOON AND EVENING HAROLD LLOYD "CTAINIUDD,SKIDS,r --. - --':..,' they have been hounded and nagged into admitting that they nave opinions.

The Juror was challenged by Van derveer for having actual bias but the court overruled it - - , WILCOX 18 EXCUSED ' . F. WUoox, accountant of Montesano, took Crass place in the box. He was passed by the prosecution, but rejected by the defense after admitting an opin ion. - . : Prior to the Centralla affair, Wilcox told Vanderveer, he knew but little of the I. W. W. organisation, but after the shooting, formed certain opinions. "Do you think the I.' W. W. advocated euch things as occurred at Centralla on Armistice day?" asked Vanderveer. "I do." "How long have you been of that opinion?" asked Vanderveer. "Since Armistice day," Wilcox an swered. He believed the statements made that the Legion men had been ehot without provocation, the juror add ed. Vanderveer's challenge was sus tained. DOESN'T BELIEVE PAPERS G. F. Burns, oiler at a mill in Ho quiam. was next called, and after a few questions, was passed by the prosecu tion. He was not opposed to capital punishment and said he had read very little of the case, sometimes not looking at newspapers for two weeks. Attorney Abel asked him if he read the news papers for information or partially as a pastime. "I don't believe more than half what I sea in the pacers." the Juror an swered. The Juror informed Vanderveer that he was not a member of a union, that he was the father of six children, and that he owned an automobile, besides owning his home. He subscribed for the Seattle Union Record about a week ago, the Juror said, bat had not yet received ary copiea Examination as to what circulars he had received and whs newspaper accounts of the-Centralla epi sode he had perused was being made at the noon adjournment Baker Schools Have.
