London, July 27 ? The possibility that
r lour legislatures may be established in
? lii-hnnl ? mi* nnrh in pruviwfft f?f
Ulster, Minister, Connaugnt' and Letn
ster ? under a Central National parlia
ment. is hinted at this morning by
Sketch, which JttXi;
?itireed not be alsumect as is done
tion there would be only two govern
ing authorities under a rederal Irish
parliament. It has been almost over
looked that there are rour great pro
vinces in Ireland, each with an his
torical individuality." ^
In relation to Sketch's Information,
which, incidentally, reirerates some
earlier reports, the statement is made,
somewhat disconnectedly, that, sub
ject to a satisfactory solution of the
Irish unification problem, Eamonn De
Yalera has intimated that he will not
renew the campaign for an independ
ent Irish republic, and also that he
will not seek to raise an army Or navy
or the right to enter Into relations
with foreign powers, except to the
same extent as these privileges are en
joyed by the self-governing dominions
of the British Eiftplre.
While Sketch learn that real pro
gress is being made in the Irish nego
tiation. other reports. evidently influ
enced by utterances contained in the
Irish bulletin last Monday indicato
doubts regarding the discissions In
Dublin agreeing to^ settlement, and
suggest that the question of unification
is a provoking one.
The Daily Mail* however, mentions
' reports of a closer understanding be
tween the North and the South
"which", it sa^s, "diminished the
doubts respecting the anility of the
rival Irish leaders to meet and con
trive a ground for common action
This newspaper adds:
"It is understood that some 8lnn
Foin leaders agree to the novernment's
terms and It is anticipated that \ki\j
agreement for general acceptance will
be reported. In any case, Mr. De Va
lora is expected to return to England
shortly, and In the meantime he con
tinues in harmonious touch with all
concerned in Ireland."

Washington. July 27.-? Formal 1 de
mand for release of American prison
er a_in_RiiS8La_ha8 been made on the
Soviet authorities by Secretary Hugh
es. The State Department was advis
ed today that the comnstmtcatton had
been handed to the Soviet representa
tives ftt Reval yeslwrday by Consul Al
brecftt.
? The text of the communication has
lint been made public. It la iwUUf I? ?
however, to be a brief insistence that
the Americans be released "before there
can be any thought of better relations
between the United States and Russia.
The action was taken in the name of
humanity a?4 because all efTorts to
secure the release of the Americans
made through Dr. Nanesen of fche Red
Cross have failed.
What course will be taken by the
United States if the Soviet authorities
ignore or refuse to accede to the de
mand was not indicated. The commu
nication was sent to Consul Albrecht
July 25.
? The curt demand mado upon ? the
Russian authorities for the release of
Amerlccan prisoners is the first offic
ial representation made upon the sub
ject, although Lenine and Trotsky and
their associates have been previously
advised informally of the determination
of the United States not to cohslder
I closer relations with Russia until this
was done.
j The dispatch of the communication
was timed so it would reach the Rust
sians at approximately simultaneously
with the message sent by Secretary
Itoover in response to the appeal made
by Maxim Gorky. The State Depart
ment's message is regarded officially
as wholly independent of the Hoover
Gorky correspondence. Ullltflllgn it Is
admitted that- it will serve to streng
then the attitude taken by Secretary
| Hoover, who made it clear in his mes
sage that "any relief by the United Stat

which Americans in Russia are treat

Within those areas they are permit

More than a score of Americcans

TWO NORFOLK MEN K1LI.FD

three miles north of Frankllnton. H.
L*. Jones and S. B. Hutchlns. both of

shortly after mldnigM wnen the cur
in which they were riding turned over.
A third passenger in the Singer speed
ster was C. B. Poole, of Clayton, who
escaped uninjured. The other two
men were caught under the car and
crushed. The failure of the car to
take the turn was attributed to the
high speed at which the automobile
was traveling.
The thre^jnen were on their way to
/Sanford, where the sale of the former
Cumberland Power and Light Compa
ny was to be confirmed Monday. Mr.
Jones was president of the company.
He bought Its holdings at the receiver
sale July 2. and In his i*>cKet at the
time he was killed was * check ft>r
$75,000 to be used in payment of the
judgment of the court.
Mr. Poole summoned assistance from
Frankllnton after the accident, but j
Jones and Hutchlns were dead before
help could reach them. Their bodies
were taken to" Raleigh and prepared
for burial and accompanied by Mr.
Pool were shipped to Norfolk Sun
