PASSPORTSTO IRELAND WILL BE APPROVED Committee of "Americans Who Wisji to Investigate Conditions Not to. Be Barred by United States or Great Britain. By David Ijawrcncc Copyright, 1020, bjr The Journal ',. Washington, Nov. 27. The com tmlttee of five Americans who plan to investigate conditions in Ireland will have no difficulty about their passports. The British government has determined to take no official cognizance 4of the matter and the . 0., British embassy 'here is treating the s request , for1 the approval of pass ports in much the same way as it would treat the request of any Amer ican Citizens. Similarly the department of state will issue passports to' the committee in 'the game routine way that passports are Biven to any Americans who want to go to Great Britain' on pleasure or busi ness. There has been some, talk In the last few days that the department of state might decline to Issue passports . on the ground that the visit of the com mission might be regarded as an inter fcrence In the politics of another coun try but the commission, on the other hand, is an entirely private affair, and its request for passports does not differ from that of five newspaper men or any other, group of Individuals who want' to write about conditions in another coun try. - - ' ' The department of justice will not be responsible Xr the reports or utterances of the committee any more than it is for the writings of American correspondents residing in Ireland or anywhere else in Kurope. ' Y ' " ' mtlTAIX.HAD SAY Of course; it was entirely within the right of the British government to re . fuse approval to the passports of the commission.

Samuel Gompers, head of the Amer ican Federation of Labor, today de nounced those back of the '"Puritan drive" for assuming they are working in behalf of the laboring man. "Labor has not called on them for5 assistance and they cannot speak for labor," said Gompers. "The man who works has a right to spend Sunday in wholesome recreation." Many leaders of the Anti-Saloon league, which played a big part in making the country dry, have joined in the new movement. Dr. E. C.

Putting the ban on Sunday theatres, cigar stores, soda fountains, gas stations and newspapers Is contemplated. Dr. Harry L.

Fe tracks just outside the city limits, gave police a new -murder mystery to solve late todajv Lamb had been shot to death. .:......' Police attached no significance to the fact that Lamb met his death from a bullet wound just 36 hours after Hamon died from effects of a similar wound. A bullet had drilled Lamb through the heart and he apparently died without a struggle. According to police, the spot where the body was found was'unfre quented. SUICIDE THEORY SCOUTED Investigation late today had not yet determined whether. Lamb had been lured to the spot and slain, or his body carried to the tracks for disposal after he had been murdvred somewhere else. The suicide theory was not given much thought by officials, as no revolver was found near the1 Bbdy. Arrangements meanwhile were con-, eluded, for the funeral of Hamon on Monday afternoon. Scores of prominent Republicans, including' Governor Frank O. Ijowden of Illinois, will attend. , His funeral service Monday will prob ably surpass any similar ceremony in Oklahoma's history. Thousands of visitors and friends of the dead man are expected to crowd the little town of Ardmore to pay their final respects to the oil magnate.
