(By The Associated Press.) Premier Lloyd George's letter to Eamonn De Valera, Irish Republican lead er, forwarded to Dublin after the meeting of .the British . cabinet at Inverness yesterday, seems to insure that Sinn Fein, plenipoten tiaries will meet, the special com mittee of cabinet ministers at Inverness September 20 to clear up any ambiguity the Sinn Fein leaders may entertain about the six conditions the i British .gov ernment stipulated - as- reserva tions in granting Ireland a do minion status. Premier Is Sincere The premier's letter is char acterized by punctilious consid eration for the Sinn 'Fein. While it ' suggests a date for the pro posed conference, it-is in no sense an ultimatum, ahdE sets a time limit to the negotiations. . In fact, it tends to prove.: that he earnestly desires a settlement.

The- guarantees Mf. De Valera is supposed to have in mind are members hits , in, the' League of Nations and the do minion's conference, and' these, it is believed, thg government would be, willing to grant.; " Assuming that the conference will meet as suggested,, there still is the question of Ulster, which is not touched In the premier's let ter., Mr, .Lloyd George's, original proposal was for a tri-partite con ference, including Ulster, but up 4o the present there is no sign Ulster has" yleldeds In j Its , deten mination to base itself on the homo rule actxandL th vnorthrn parllamnt. : ' " Ulstr Issus Remain A" representative "of the govern ment, Jn. an interview at Inver ness today aaid that in the event of a conference failing, the gov-, ernmentrwould "proceed with the home rule act, which, by Infer- encje, niay.be interpreted to mean mat me government regaras ine act In partial abeyance.

NEW, WAY. TO ; PUNISH BOYS IS INVENTED Colonel Harbaugh of Eugene Compels Lad to Go to San r day School for Year , Attendance at Sunday school for 52 consecutive Sundays and a report every Monday morning to the officer of the juvenile court ot Lane county, is the sentence impos-d by Col. J. J. HarDaugh of Eugene, on- & youth who re cently broke into the Euc;ene arm ory. Colonel Harbaugh, who resem bles Buffalo B:ll in appearance, and who fought with Buffalo Bill on the nlalns of South Dakota and Wyoming 'in 177 and 1878, was in the city yesterday to bring to Salem three boys who broke into the Eugene armory and stole $500 worth of property. One of the boys who got in bad company for tha first time, was given the Sundsr school sentence. His parole includes the Monday report of his attendance, and he will be obliged to give the name of h's teacher, subject lesson of the day, with ouestions and an swers. It the boy does not report to Colonel Harbaugh, Juvenite offi cer every Monday morning, his parole will be forfeited and he will be brought to the state train ing Echool for boys. Or If the boy is found on the streets of Eugene after 8 o'clock in the evening without h's mother, or properly attended by some adult person, the parole is forfeited. Colonl Harbaugh feels that the handling of boys who- are do ing petty stealing Is a big pro blem. While rot inclined to; be hasty in sending them to the training'. school here, his exper ience has taught him. he says, that it one group of boys is, per mitted to go unpunished, other boya will take note of the fact.

Jobless men were placed on the auction Mock on Boston Common today. Strip ped to the waist, after, the custom cf the old slave auctions, they declared their willingness to work by standing before a crowd of thousands, offering their services to the highest bidder. "Shorn lambs of employment," their auctioneer, Urbain Ledoux, called them. Ledoux. a Philan thropic worker, who recently op ened the "church of the unem ployed," led fifty men to the Common to bring home, he said, to the people their stories of hu man misery, just as William Lloyd " Garrison pleaded for , the slaves 70 years ago. It was to prove his charges were good citi zens out of a job, that he put some of the men on the block, he explained. . No Bids Made : Ledoux's efforts were not re warded, no bids being made. Of the three who stood up for bids none got; a Job, although the erowd pledged help to tide them over'-a week or two while they sought employment. Their lead r( said, however, he considered he had brought their plight) and the honesty ot their purpose, to public attention, and he announc ed that, the auction was to be a daily event, to be continued at lcast this month. Ledoux and his men, box lunches in hand, came to the Com mon from his headquarters, where he had fed hundreds. (While he ate, he called for volunteers to stand lit--auction, prepared to work for a, week for the highest bidders.. Eight men stepped, out, two World war veterans, most of them in clothing and shoes well worn. Each was asked how long he had been out of work and without food and 'shelter, f ,; - Men Gd Without Food One man had not worked for a year.

He stripped to the waist, and while Ledoux di rected, went through tho army raiisthentics to show his muscu lar development. Bids were call ed for. "This is one of the men that you used during the war. What will you do with him now? How much will you bid for this man's services for a week in order that he may have food and shelter?" the anctioneer asked." V4 Bids were madet butjwhenithey Wetei called, those who had made them had slipped away. Ferris was then declared to be without a bidder. Canine Is Mascot A dog was brought to the block.

The complaint charges the defendant with killing her husband, Andrew Wurtzbergar, last Sunday. Mrs. Wurtzbergar probably will be removed to the Multnomah county Ja'l in a few days. The case is expected to g:ve rise to one of the most important legal battles in the history, of Oregon law Involving the right' ot federal jurisdiction.
