Mr. DeValera made this declara tion at the second session of the Bail Eireann, held in the Mansion House, to take up the question of the negotiations with Premier Lloyd-George with regard to a possible Irish settlement. Answer Held Final. "Prom the reports this morning In tbe British and foreign press,'' laid Mr. DeValera, "thero : terns to be doubt as to what our attitude is towards the British proposals. There seems to be doubt as to whether what I have said or whether our letter means accept ance or rejection. "There ought to be no doubt In anybody's mind. We cannot and will not, on behalf of this nation, accept these terms. "u is saiu we are onereu tne itatus of dominion home rule for Inland the status of the British tamilons. Ireland is offered no such thing. The statement thai Ireland was offered a dominion status contained two falsehoods. H'lmli Ireland? There is no Ire land on the terms but two broken pieces of Ireland. "What was offered was not eren dominion status. It was ad mitted the. dominions had the right to Becedo and could get out if they desired. We are told we must stay in whether we like it or not. Secession Not Issue. "We are not claiming the right to lecede. There cannot be a luei'.on of secession, but there has never been union. "Northern Ireland has regarded Itself frnm Its own viewpoint, and In entering negotiations they need not give up that point of view. I would be willing to suggest to the Irish people that they give up a food deal In order to have Irelund ble to look into the future with out anticipating distracting inter Mi problems. "All the time these negotiations ke meant an attempt to get In to touch with the people of the lorth and tell them we have no fCinitv anri ...i, - " 1 nHinQ soli iiitofl 'or them which we would never tolnk of making for Britain.

Additional funds for the state department to Cover ex tra duties imposed on that depart ment due to the administration of the bonus law will also be sought at this session. The amount of the appropria tion $30,000 included in the bonus bill is grossly Insufficient for the proper and reasonable ad ministration of the law, the call states. No Intimation is given In the call as to the amount of the de ficiency authorization to be sought by the bonus commission. It is probable, however, that amount will approximate the orig inal appropriation of $30,000.

Repre sentative Alice Robertson of Okla homa, the only woman member of congress, took particular pains when she called at the White House today to make It plain that her visit was not to urge appoint ment of a woman on the American delegation to the disarmament conference. "Show me a woman In the Uni ted States who Is qualified," said Miss Robertson, "and I might urge her appointment." She added that in order to qual ify a woman not only would have to be an international lawyer, growers, was receiveo in oaiem yesterday, Indicating that there is i no inclination on the part of English buyers to sidestep the contracts which they hold.

Brumfield was questioned by the district attorney within view but out of hearing of the newspaper representatives. He showed slight traces of nervousness.

Deer Season Will Open On August 20th What Is expected by sportsmen to be the biggest deer season for years will start on the west side of the Cascade mountains next Saturday. Many campers and mountaineers have reported that animals and tracks have been seen In such numbers as to Justify the expectation for a big year, and local sportsmen are unanimous in their opinions that such will be the case. The season, which began last year September 1, has been ad vanced this year a few days and will start August 20, remaining open until October 20, for all ter ritory west of the mountains. In the second district east of the Cas cades the dates will run from Sep tember 1 to October 31. Much of the hunting will be done In southern Oregon, where sportsmen expect to find the deer most numerous, but reports indi cate that good shooting will be found In the SUetz and Tillamook districts and on the upper Santiam and Abequa rivers. A number of parties have already left the city for southern Oregon and elsewhere ready to be right among tbe moun tains when the season opens. Babe Ruth Hits 45th Home Run since yesterday has freely admit ted his identity, still claims he cannot remember what has trans pired since the Sunday previous to the alleged crime. District Attor ney Oeorge Neuner of Roseburg, the man to whom Brumfield has promised to "tell all" met the offi cers and their prisoner here. Dr. Brumfield slept soundly last night In a sleeping car berth and awoke refreshed. He ate a hearty breakfast, this being his first meal In five days. Savs Mind a Blank. "My mind is an absolute blank," he asserted, speaking; very slowly. "I do not remember a thing from the Sunday I had dinner with, Russell until I was found in Can ada." After apparently recalling with difficulty that he has a wife, Dr. Brumfield asked Sheriff Starmer If his wife could visit him In Rose burg Jail. When the sheriff an swered affirmatively, Brumfield added: "And my boys, too! I have three boys, fine chaps, just Ilk stairsteps." As the train approached Port land the prisoner was alert, calling the officers' attention to the Co lumbia valley scenery. But when ever reference was made to the crime with which he Is connected he would become silent. Chicago, Aug. 17. Babe Ruth made his forty-fifth home run of perlence(i tne season, witn cue umu uu base, In tbe sixth Inning of to day's game with Chicago. Wlen ecke was pitching for Chicago. "Sunday, July 10," continued the attorney, you will remember was the first time he met Russell and, he says, was the only time. He probably had seen Russell several times before but had not actually met him. "Brumfield recalled that on that particular Sunday on which he visited with his nephew, his boy spilled a lot of buckshot 011 the ground and ha (Brumfield) had trouble picking It up. About chat time he became ill and with tbe exception he mentioned, he says he can recall nothing. He has hazy recollection of some trou ble at the International boundary In Blaine." Asked why he would not permit Brumfield to be photographed or Interviewed, Mr. Neuner said It would be a violation of the physi cian's orders. If Brumfield needs medical attention, he will surely get It, said the district attorney. Held Incommunicado. Meanwhile Brumfield Is being held Incommunicado In Multno mah county jail. According to Neuner, Dr. Brum field was not questioned concern ing the actual crime, but was per mitted to talk at random on vari ous subjects. The history of his early life was recounted by the prisoner, and while telling of his college days, Dr. Brumfield explained that be M death, snd left an estate on had at the time suffered from a'hls death of $100,000.
