DEADLOCKED OVER IRISH INDEPENDENCE BUT THE NEGOTIATIONS ARE STILL OPEN EN TO THE WORLD AT LONDON Replying to Offers of Dominion Status From Premier Lloyd George, Republican Leader DeValera Argues that True Friendship Between England and Ireland Must Come Through Amicable and Absolute Separation\ and Con- cludes that \The Road to Peace Lies Open.\ LONDON, Aug. 14.—The correspondence between Mr. Lloyd George <md Eamon DeValera made public by the Brit- ish ' government this' evening,, shows that, while there is a deadlock on the question of independence for Ireland the ne- gotiations still are open. In his reply to Mr. Lloyd George, Mr. DeValera argued for independence.and offered to submit the Ulster question to arbitration. He declared that he and he collegues, could not and Ireland would not accept the proposals of the British government. Ireland's right to choose for herself the path she shall take to realize her own destiny must be accepted as indefeasible. . \We cannot proposejto abrogate or impair' it, said Mr. DeValera letter, \nor can Great Britain or any foreign state or group of states claim to interfere with its exercise in order to serve their own special interests. The letter added that it was the deep conviction or De- Valera and his collegues that true friendship between Ireland and Great Britain must come \Through amicable but absolute separation.\ A dominion status for Ireland was declared to be illusory. The letter concluded by reciprocating the desire for a mutual and lasting friendship between Ireland and Great Britain and ended with the statement that the road to peace lies open.\ , Right to Secede Denied.

They are convinced that the Irish people may find as worthy and complete an expression of their po- litical and spiritual ideals within the empire as any of the numerous and varied nation's united in alliance to His Majesty's throne and they desire such consummation not only for the welfare of Great Britain and Ireland and\ the Empire as a whole but also for the cause of peace and harmony throughout the wc^cl. \There is not a part of the world where Irishmen have made their homes but suffered from our ancient feuds. No part of it but looks to this meeting between the British govern- ment and the Irish leaders to re- solve these feuds in a new under standing, honorable and satisfactory to all the people involved. \The Britisfi. government \ invites Ireland to take her place in the great association of free nations over which His Majesty v reigns. As ! to the naval and military forces of the Empire and assumes that volun- tary recruiting will he permitted. Complete automony in 'finance and taxation, with the agreement there shall be no tariffs and other trade restrictions with the two islands, is provided in the fifth stipulation. The sixth declares Ireland is to assume responsibility for a share of the United Kingdom's present debt and pensions. Conditions Embodied in Treaty. The document proposed the condi- tions of settlement be embodied in the form of a treaty, to which effect shall be giver., by the British and Irish parliaments. \The form in which the settle- ment is to take effect,\ it adds, \will denend upon Ireland herself. It must allow for full recognition of the ex- isting powers and privileges of the parliament and government of Nor- thern Ireland. \The British government enter- Haiins the Jearnest hope that the net e'essity of harmonious coopejiratifm among Irishmen of all classes and creeds will he recognized through- an earnest proof of their desire to ob- j ou t Ireland and will welcome the day literate old quarrels and to enable i when by these means un'ity is Ireland to face the future with her own strength and hope, they propose that Ireland shall assume forthwith the status of a dominion, with all the powers and privileges set forth in this document. \By the adoption of dominion sta- tus it is understood that Ireland shall enjoy complete automony in taxation and finance that she shall maintain her own military forces for home defense, her own constabulary, and her own police; that she shall take over, the Irish coastal services and all matters relating thereto; education, land agriculture, mines and minerals, forestry, housing, la- bor, unemployment, transportation, trade, public health, health insur- ance and liquor traffic, and in sum that she shall exercise all those pow- ers and privilege upon [which the autonomy of self-governing domin- ions is based, subject to the consid- erations set forth in the ensuing paragraph. \Guaranteed in these liberties, -which no foreign people can chal- lenge without challenging the Empire as a whole, the dominions. hold each and severally by virtue of their British fellowship, a standing among the nations equivalent not merely to their individual strength hut the combined power and influence of all the nations of the commonwealth. That guarantee, that fellowship, that freedom, the whole empire looks to Ireland to accept.\ Six Stipulations. Then follow six stipulations: The first says that the common concern of loth countries in the de- fense of their interest on land and sea shall be recognized. The second says: \In order that the movement to- ward limitations of armaments (Should not be hampered in any way, achieved. But no, such common ac- tion can Ira secured by force.\ Declaring that union in the other dominions came by consent, the doc- ument continues: \In no .conditions can they consent to any proposals which would kindle civil war in Ireland. Such a war would not touch Ireland alone, f«> partisans would flock to either side from Great Britain, the Empire and elsewhere, with eonsectnences more devastating to the welfare both of Ireland and the Empire than the con- flict to which a truce has been call- ed this month.\ The document concludes as fol- lows : \Until the British government will, therefore, leave Irishmen them- selves to determine by negotiations between them whether the new pow- ers which the new pact defines shall be taken over by Ireland as a whole and administered by a single body, or taken over separately by South- ern and Northern Ireland, with or without a joint authority to harmon- ize their common interests. They will willingly assist in negotiating such a settlement if the Irishmen should so desire. \Bv these proposals the British government sincerely believes thev will have shattered the foundation of that ancient hatred and distrust which have disfigured our common history for' centuries. \The future of Ireland within the commonwealth, is for the Irish peO pie to shape. Tn the foregoing pro- posals the British government have attempted no more than a tirosd out- line of a settlement, the details cf which they leave for discussion when the Irish people have signified their. acceptance of the principle of this pact.\ Th«, document is signed by David Lloyd George, Declares that Secretary Mel- Ion's Speech to .Congress Means that * Campaigh Promise to Reduce Federal Taxes Would Not Be Kept. WASHINGTON, Aug. 14.^The ad- ministration tax revision program was attacked tonight by Chairman White of the Democratic national com- mittee; who declared in a forma] statement that business men would not be fooled by the methods adopt- ed by the Republicans \in order to make a false show for economy.\ \The sudden change in the Repub- lican tax bill program decided upon at the recent white house conference\ said Mr. White, \has only added con- fusion and uncertainty to the gov- ernment's fiscal .situation and busi- ness and financial circles generally are surprised and disappointed at Pres. Harding's repudiation of Secre- tary of Treasury Mellon as his fiscal adviser and his recognition instead of Chairman Fordney of the ways and means comnr/tteo/,. as I'jhe financial guide of his administration. ''Secretary Mellon told Congress, presumably with the knowledge and. approval of 'he President, that, he will need $4,554,000,000 to meet gov- ernment expenditures for the next fiscal year. He told Congress also, in view of these expenditures that taxes cannot he reduced. 'This meant, of course, that the Republican administration campaign promise to reduce taxes would not, in fact, could not be kept. \Chairman Fordney, who wrote the wonderful tariff bill of which the Sen- ate is expected to leave only the en- acting clause, came to the political rescue of the administration and an- nounced a plan to reduce taxes re- gardless of the amount of money need- ed to meet expenditures which would create a deficit\ to be taken care of by borrowing the money, thus in- creasing the public debt, but as the optimistic Mr. Fordney saw it, his plan would make it appear that the party was keeping its campaign pledge to reduce j:axes and was making a grand record of economy.\ The ways and means committee draft of the tax revision bill was put in form today for presentation to- morrow to the conference of House Republicans which will decide upon the procedure for its. consideration which is expected to begin Wednes- day and end with a vote late Satur- day. VANDERLiP CONSULTS GERMAN MINISTERS BERLIN, Aug. 14.—Frank Vander- lip, former president of the National City bank of New York city, accom- panied by his family, arrived here today to study German financial and economical conditions.

Heslin's body was found in the sand along the Pji.Si%,£gisan^Jgd^tp^his being held as a suspect has, accord- ing to the police, made a number of contrary statements, which, when called to his attention, caused him to become stubborn and uncommuni- cative. Doris Shirley, a woman named tiy Hightower in an ; alibi statement, through which he endeavored to show that he was out of the city on the night the priest disappeared, has voluntarily communicated with the authorities and denies the suspect's story thta she accompanied him from San Francisco to San Jose in an au- tomobile on the night of August 2. PRESIDENT MAKES A TRIP TO BALTIMORE Pays Visit to Mrs. Harry M. Daugherty at Hospital.

Daugherty, wife of the Attorney General of the United States, who has been ill for a month in John-Hopkins Hospital. With the President came Mrs. Hard- ing, Attorney General Daugherty and George R.

Senate Finance Committee Tackles Tariff Bill Today WASHINGTON, Aug. 14.—The Senate finance committee is scheduled to start tomorrow consideration of details of the next tariff law, beginning a series of open hearings on all rates in the measure. More than 500 persons, representing associations, firms and indi- vidual business enterprises, have requested Chairman Penrose to allot time to them fdr testimony on various phas.es of the rate questions. With American valuation agreed upon as the basis for levying import duties, the foundation of the bill passed by the House remains unchanged, but Mr. Pen- rose said today many changes, probably would be made in the specific rate before the measure is ready to be re- turned to the Senate. The other main controversial question, that of re- storing the dye embargo rejected by the House, has not been settled finally but the joint sub-committee of two Senators and two Representatives expected today to be ready to report an agreement'before Tuesday. Chair- man Smoot of the sub-committee indicated that protec- tion for the dye industry probably would take the form of low import duties rather than an embargo.

DUBLIN, Aug, 14.—The Irish Re- pujblkan parliament publicity , de- pa - tment issued a statement today de-iaring that the recent letter of General Smuts, the South African -H-emier to Eamon DeValera, the Irish Republican leader, in regard '•o Ihe British proposals for peace in T ' eland had been made public with- out the consent of Mr. DeValera. The statement said: \President DeValera cannot be- lieve General Struts would authorize publication of his letter without the president's, consent. This consent was not given and the letter certain- ly should not have been published before full pyblic'ation of the com- munications which have passed be- tween the British and Irish govern- ments. The letter of General Smuts simply summarized his own views, which can readily be understood when the general position's is recog- nized but which are not justified by the terms of the British proposals as will be seen -'hen these proposals are published.\ Ulster to Recogn^e King Only BELFAST, Ireland, \ug. 14.—The text of the Ulster cabin?\s observa- tion on «iie- -British • proposal for peace in Ireland signed by Sir James Craig, the Ulster premier, was made public here this evening. The state- ment savs the acceptance, by the Ul- ster leaders of the original invitation of the British gove'nment to meet in conference with it in London still holds good and they will be available at any time their assist- ance is again desired. ' \Our acceptance of your original invitation to meet in conference in London holds good and if at any time our assistance again is desired we are available,\ said the state- ment. \But I feel bound to acquaint you that no meeting is possible' be- tween Mr. DeValera and myself un- til he recognizes that Northern Ire- land will not submit to any other authority than* that of His Majesty, the King, and the parliament of the United Kingdom and admits the sane tity of the existing powers and privi- leges of the parliament and govern- ment of Northern Ireland. • \In conclusion, let me assure you that peace is as earnestly desired by my government and myself as by yOu and yours, and although we have nothing left to give away we are prepared, when you and Mr. DeVal- era arrive at a satisfactory settle- ment, to co-operate with Southern Ireland on equal terms for the fu- ture welfare of our common coun- try.\ FOUR KILLED IN A KEEPSECRET PLANS TO END BOOZE RUNNING Flow of Beer Acrossjhe River At, Detroit Shows a Dim- inution. DETROIT, Aug. 14.—-Plans of pro- hibition officials for dealing with the smuggling of Canadian beer • and whiskey • across the border here, as a result of a recent Windsor court ruling that the Ontario law does-not prohibit export of intoxicants, re- mained unannounced tonight. The raid which federal agents made yes- terday in Ecorse, a suburb, declar- ed to be one of the \wetest\ spots on the Michigan side of the bound- ary, was not repeated. Little, if any beer, was brought across the river during the day so far as could be observed. -It was report- ed, however, to b.e obtainable in the down river district at prices ranging j from 50 cents to 75 cents a pint. Plans for a big week-end trade by the down river resorts were more or less affected by the reputed presence in the vicinity of a contingent of j state troopers. There was less illu- ! mination and less' music in the dance halls in that section. The troopers, however, failed to appear in the suspected \wet\ spots and to- day this remark was frequently heard there' that announcement of. their presence on border patrol du- ty was-merely a \bluff.\ Advices from Lansing were that State Commissioner of Public Safe- ty Vandercook expected to take per- sonal charge of the situation.

Fire department of- ficials declared that unless the flames were checked, the whole plant, esti- mated to be worth $3,000,000 was in danger of destruction. Five tanks, each having a capacity' of 20,000 barrels of oil had been des- troyed up to tonight, as well as four \agitators\ or smaller tanks and pump lines. Toward daylight, the separators used to distribute the oil throughout the plant, caught fire and there was great danger of the burning fluid sweeping down in the surface of the Schuylkill River, endangering shipping. Fire boats directed their energies toward the holding the flames at the river's bank. Virtually every man connected with the city fire department was hurried to the scene after the first explosion, and when fires broke out in other parts of the city it was necessary to relay the alarms to Point Breeze. Not only were many of fhe firemen temporarily overcome by smoke and beat, but some them dropped from sheer exhaustion today from the long toil in the intense- heat.
