U' i< a -jjA L London, July 2i; (By The Asso$a?* ed Press).?The proposals of British government; which it is.vQMp cd may form a basis of an IrisbWh tlement, are in the hands of Earitttm De Valera, the Irish Repubftaab leader. Mr. De Valera will rei/am to Dublin and. submit them tb'Bnft other leaders of opinion in souWfin Ireland including the members of Dail Ei reurui, the Irish RepublieMh parliament. The British prime minister and*nBl' De Valera went over the gtttuigd again today but as Sir James 0$au& the Ulster premier, - had returned y Belfast, and there was no poselbIL ity for the present, of a confer6njtf between the representatives* of Mb three, piurties concerned; it was 'harply expected that any definite* declaim, would' be taken by Mr. Lloyd Geonfr and Mr. De Valera todfty.

Theri will be a pause in the discussion while Dublin and Belfast pondei^che. government offer. This, according to the Dublin respondent of the Associated Pwbs, is on its financial side of a nature intended to prove attractive to Ulster. Complete secrecy as t6$tfee details of the terms is maint#ried, but such hints as ate allowed] to escape describe them as geiuKou's and affording no excuse for t^Hnninating the conversations. In the lobbies of parliaments tonight The feeling remained hatful avoided, the impression being basea on the belief that it would prove necessary in order to introduce new Irish legislation. SLAYER OF DEPUTY IN PENITENTIARY Ed or Eliot Culbreth, negro, who shot and killed deputy Sheriff \V. W.

WILL NEVER PASS * |Washin^6n, ?The influential Republican mCWWrs of the senate declare that there will be no bonus v'otea the able bodiea ' soldiers of the nation. They fio not take seriously either the cotf^fe?ry declaration of Senator McCurabah, or the violent prognostications* aocompaniod by threats, of certain of the Democratic v senators. They simply announce tl^at the bonus bill is d^ad. The- setu?ce? by an overwhelming vote, recommitted the hill' heeause of 'the financial condition of the treasury. Tho sehate can not reconsider the bill '.urtbdV.the condition of the Ajteasury is 'pteellent. The treasury will he, as baye as Mother Hubbard's cupboard for' kevVraJ years to come. There is no attempt to gainsay this The bonus bill voneeived in politics, brouglrt forth ifi 'politics and jes it died. It.#was never ?tk(^h .seriously. It wasipromised by ttoe Kepublicans ? before the presidential election. It was brought out pf^committee during tba* absence of Senator Penrose. It was considered by the senate because the individual toerobers of the senate had promised to vote ..for such a bill if one was brought forth. V-'lt required the president, himself, to' rescue them. -They regarded his personal plea as worthy ground on Which to base the violation of their 'promises. The soldiers of the country have not complained since the killing of the bill. This is taken to mean that they did not demand its passage. The individual able bodied soldier would have taken $50 per annum if it had been offered. But he seemed to realize that it would profit him little? especially as its reception would have increased the taxes of himself '0* parents, and caused the further depreciation of his Liberty bonds. The scene in the senate the days intervening between the appearance ot the president and the recommitment of the bill was unprecedented. In the first place, Democratic senators indulged in highly partisan, spectacular, sensationally bitter and critical oratory, some of which resulted from a desire to "put the Republican party in the hole," and some from a desire to increase the popularity of the orators. Senator Townscnd, following Senators Hefiin, Watson of Georgia, Harbison, McKellar and-(others, declar nfc such This prompted the Democrats to return to the fray with additional personalities directed at the Republicans as individuals and as a party. The conclusion was little to the credit of the dignity of the senate. Senator McCumber declared untrue something that Senator Reed had said. Reed retorted in kind. McCumber suggested that they retire and settle their differences on the outside. Reed remarked that he never knew a blackguard who didn't want to go outside and settle matters. McCumber started for Reed. Senator Williams tried to stotf him. Senator Watson of Georgia jumped up apd down, and made pointed remarks. Then they read stenographic notes. Everybody apologized. The record was voluntarily expunged. But the bonus hill is dead. DEATH OF MRS. LOUIS RODGER Mrs. Louis Rodger died last evening after an illness covering mahy months. The body was carried to Columbia on the noon train today for interment. Mrs. Rodger is survived by her husband and one child, I?uis, Jr. Before her marriage was Miss Howie of Columbia and has two brothers and two sisters living there.

J ' I FORDNEY TARIFF BILL PASS^H Washington, July 21.?The Repub- *^1 lican protective tariff bill, estimated by Chairman^ Fordney to raise around -500,000,000 in revenue annually, was passed tonight by the house by a vote of 289 to 127?precisely the vote by which a Democratic motion for elimination of its American valuation provision was defeated. .Seven Republicans voted, against Mjjmeasure while the same number cSjOTemocrats supported it. raBtls, hides, cotton and asphalt up against a determined fight \ to jHkthem and remained on the free KstT^BThe longworth dye embargo, first JBtthese five contested schedules to gcdKfore the house proper for a separate vote, and backed ljy most of the "^Republican members of the ways ahd means committeee, was thtowxfbut, 209 to 193. Forming and holding . a flying wedge, And aided by Republicans not satisfied; with al Ithe bill's provisions. i the Democratic minority made tho most of its chances and won on each. The ways and means committee last >ut on three of its five amendments laid before the house. There was not much chance of imposing a duty on hides and cotton after the house, in committee of the whole, had defeated amendments rprrying compensatory rates on their manufactured products. When the )il amendment was reached there was such a shout of noes that a roll ;all was not demanded. A momerit later Chairman Fordney, trying to make himself heard above the din which prevailed during thYee hours noting, announced that sentiment in the committee of the whpld against taxing asphalt had beeh ?o pverwhelming that it was not wOrth while to go through the form of call ing the roll. -More than 200 committee amendments rushed through at the close. , were voted on en bloc. Somo merely corrected spelling in the bill, some Rhuffled commas, and some changed the rates, but the Democrats, still holding their forces in line, compelled a Tfecord vote. ^ * JuBt before the time eame to pass the bill Representative Garner of Texas, ranking Democrttt on the -ways and means cqmjttittee, stepped to tie front with th?.'?xnecled motion, to send the bill bad?$h Ito framers with instructions to strika out ibn ATbericah^rfWhtioh and reciptoral provlsly Oti the whole tariff issue, although they had split widely on some of the earlier votes. After the hou.se had passed the bill and adjourned until Monday, Chairman Fordney and Representative Garrett of Tennessee, the . acting minority leader, issued statements defending and denouncing it. Declaring the measure a "monstrosity," Mr, Garrett asserted that the Democrats were given "just five opportunities to win and they won all we." : "If the bill had been opened up for amendment under the general -rules of the house." he added, "there is no telling what, .would have happened to it. When I say five opportunities. I mean in the house itself. Of course we had a few chances in the committee of the whole and there we defeated the increase of duties upon leather and hoots and shoes and upon ?otton manufactures. "There wore' only 22 lines of the i>ill, out of 8.620 lines, read for amendment. Not, a "member of the louse except The majority members if the ways and means committee h? in opportunity even to offer an amendment, except as it was an amendment to a committee amendnent*. "By such methods was this mon;trositv passed. The day of retribu- " . .ion will come." Although no direct comparison was nade with rates in the Pavne-AlIrich bill which figures bo largely n the political discussions. Chairman Pordney declared the average ad v?orem; rates in his bill were sliehtiv owcr. "The passage,pf the* tariff bill by be bouse, with u substantial majorty." -Mr. Pordney said, "marks the onclusion of an important step in he return of America to the soum! )oUcy of protection." . The biTI, in addition to affording ncouragement to busines sand proecting American* institutions and he American standard of living, will nerease customs receipts of the government. It will yield when enacted lose to $500,000,00 0 annually and he average ad valorem Tate of duty ?n total imports will probably .be ilightly below the average of the ariff of 1009.
