This communication was Snatched early today and was Busidered to be the British gov itinient's final word In the ex tbange of messages between Lon don and Dublin. Mr. Lloyd-George informed Mr. eValera, however, that the Brit Itn government could not alter its fundamental position which was vital to the empire's existence. Thla position was that Ireland could not be allowed to separate (rem the British empire, but must base her propositions upon self government as a member of the tilterhood of British dominions.

Application of 8 Cent Fares In Salem Is Held Up Patrons of the Salem street rail way company were granted a fur ther lease on the five-cent ride when the public service commis sion this morning ordered a still further suspension of the tariff in creasing the rate to eight cents and which would have become ef fective Saturday without this sec ond intervention of the commis sion. The commission's order also ap plies to the rates at Eugene and West Linn, both of which, as well as the Salem system, are owned by the Southern Pacific company. Another order grants a similar suspension of the rates on the As toria system on which an increase to eight cents is proposed by the Pacific Power & Light company The tariff involving the increase in rates on all four street railway systems was filed in June to be come effective on July 1. Prior to that date, however, the commis sion intervened with an order sus pending the rates until October 1 or such a time as they might com plete an investigation into the rea sonableness of the proposed new rates. This Investigation has not yet been completed, it was stated this morning, necessitating a sec ond suspension of the tariffs. This, however, exhausts the commis sion's jurisdiction in this line. If the commission fails to find the proposed rates unreasonable and so indicate in an order the new tariff will become effective on January 1, the expiration date of the pres ent suspension. Second suspensions were also ordered this morning in the pro posed tariffs of the Enterprise Electric company which serves Enterprise, Wallowa, Joseph and Lostine and in the case of the Sheridan Light & Power company involving an increase in the mu nicipal street lighting rates. 28,000 SEE FAIR TODAY Portlanders Flock To Grounds In Automo biles and Trains; Pro gram Is Feature One Sidelights On The Fair STATE FAIR PROGRAM Friday G.

The vast auditorium was packed to the roof and there was the keenest enjoy- senlor uient manifest during the progress of every number. The address of Attorney B. G. Skullson, a native of Iceland, was an eloquent plea tor full Americanism by the people of foreign birth. The violin per formance of Miss Klizabeth I-evy evoked the most applause and she was loaded with several immense bouquets of rosea and other choice flowers. Mrs. C. C.

"There Is no sueh thing as the 'law of gravitation.' " Wilbur Glenn Voliva, sue- censor of Alexander Dowle. an overseer of Zlon, who re- rer.tlv proclaimed the world was flat and had no motion, last night in so many words disposed of Newton's theory that objects fall because they are pulled by gravity toward the center of the earth. "They write books on the lsw of gravitation.' " Voliva told his Wednesday night audience In Shtloh taber- nacle. "There Is no such thing.

Toddle: to walk with short, tot tering steps, as a child." Thus does Noah Webster define the "freak" dance which has set the reformers of the country agog. Noah's definition certainly sounds Innocent enough. But In the vocabulary of the reformer the word' toddle Is svnonomous with such depressing expressions as immoral, vulgar and disgraceful. Jasx music Is the root of the toddle evil, a well known char acter dancing master claims. He shakes his head and sighs for the good old days of Sousa two-steps and Strauss waltzes. "Dancing today has become a lost art," he deplores. Dancing masters and dance-hall proprietors Join In the chorus. In a dear-me-what-U-thU-world-coralng-to tone, the reformers whisper to you about the "corset check room" and other unmen tionable and dismal things that are bringing about the downfall of this generation. Therefore they cry, "Unclean," and set about the work of seeing to It that the toddlers cease to tod die. Maybe they're right. It may be wrong. At any rate, the proprie tors of dance halls In many Ohio cities have Issued the edict: "The toddle shall not be tolerated." University and college faculties have drawn up stern ruios cou cernlng "freak" and "close" fUlTU'inSE. Do the toddlers list to this din around them? Not to any notice able extent.

She seemed to voice the views of the majority of Amer ica's flappers. When the toddle was mentioned to a sparkling young prom trotter today she remarked, with nn amused smile. "They aren't doing It at all. Put on a new record, and 1 11 show you the latest dance, the race horse trot.' And there you are! DOUBLE SLAYING CHARGED Mysterious Deaths of Dentist and Senario Writer Are Laid To Los Angeles Pair Los Angeles, Cal., Sept. 29. Vincent M. Parrell, 22, and Win fred Strike, II, were arrested here early today on suspicion of the murder of Dr. Joseph P. Durand, 22, a dentist, and Myron George McCauley, also 22, a scenario writ er, whose bodies were found in the wreckage of an automobile in the southwestern part of Los An geles April 25 last. Suicide First Theory- An official verdict of a double suicide was rendered after three days' Investigation of the Durand McCauley case, but relatives of both men declined to accept It, declaring there was no reason for them to have killed themselves. According to the police Parrall and Strike were acquainted wlln Durand and McCaulejrand shortly before the tragedy borrowed from Durand two revolvers, neither of which was returned, although one was said to have been found near the bodies In the wrecked motor car. Evidence Reviewed. Other allegaUoni of the police are that a missing diamond ring, the property of Durand, was sold by Parrell; that Charles Francis, brother-in-law to Durand, saw three men running away from the place where the bodies were found and heard one of the say, "Well, I guess we got them that time," and that alleged knowledge by Durand and McCaUley of a bur glary, the police asserted, had been committed by Parrell and Strike provided a motive for Ibf slaylnga. Two Jailed On Booze Charges; Liquor Is Taken Two men, who, apparently, are not among Mr. Volstead's admir ers, were this morning held In the Salem clly Jail as the result of police activities last night.
