ULSTER SESSION ST0RMX
Stockholders of the Qrcensboro coun
try club after a three hour' meeting
t the O. Henry hotel last night which
covered a vide range of club hlalun
and at tlmee stirred up rra fueling
voted that the clubhouse, destroyed by
Are several weeks ago, be rebuilt.
The president was authorised lo ap
point a committee of live to consult
with architects relative to plans, to
prepare and to prosecute a financial
campaign, and If further funds are
needed, to arrange If possible for a
mortgage lo raise the remainder, Be
fore Incurring any except preliminary
expenses the commlUc of five will
report back to the stockholders for
their approval.
Although the final motion did not
mention a sum, the discussion from the
floor indicated that the new country
club will cost approximately $60,000 to
5,000, the exact amount depending In
part on what financial arrangements
cain be made, t
The formal motion did not state the
site of the new club, but again the dis
cussion points to the new buildings
being created where the destroyed one
was,
The storm-center of the meeting last
night, a matter which has been brew
ing In the minds of the stockholders
since the question of rebuilding was
ruined, was the "perpetuity clause," so
called, by which, according to a deed
made severalaear ago with the .Irv
ing Parle company, the golf links are
required to ba managed aa a golf
links perpetually.
Whether the actual ground on which
the old clubhouse stood was Included
in the perpetuity alauae was a point
on which lawyers disagreed sharply
last night A. L. Brooks thought there
was no condition on the club's title to
that part ot the property and also the
part immediately adjoining. R. D.
Douglas and F. P. Hnbgood doubted
whether the club owed any land with a
olear title.
The point la ot importance to the
club because, as repeatedly stated from
the floor last night, if the club has no
clear title to any property, tt will have
difficulty In borrowing money, and
money has got to b borrowed for the
new building..
In the discussion en this point. In
which many stockholders took part,
Mr, Brooks brought out the old minutes
of the olub to show the action that was
taken with the Irving Park company.
Following him, Bernard Con went in
to history a little himself and said that
the aotion of the elub officials in in.
corporatlng the perpetuity clause was
not In accordance with the wishes of
the majority of the members. He said
further that at a certain meeting sev
eral years ago when aotion was taken
every person present except himself
was either Interested In the Irving
Park company or Interested in some
manner with the plan other than from
the point of view of the cvuntry club.
The statement drew a warm rejoind
er from Mr. Brooks, who read the
names of the persons Involved to show
that some of them had no connection
with the Irving Park company. Speak
ing vigorously, he said further that
the statement that the club officials
were otherwise Interested waa a state'
ment which Mr. Cons, after he had
slept over the matter, would not make.
Definite action came when Mr.
Brooks moved that the club be re
built. H. L. Coble amended the motion
by directing the president to appoint a
committee of Ave to take action, make
the plans, raise the money, build the
buildings, and get busy Immediately,
He made a strong plea for getting
something dona "in the Greensboro
spirit.''
R. D, Don glas followed with a sub
stitute motion that - no building be
erected on property to which the club
did not have a clear title, which sub
stltute he supported too with vigor.
Hut his motion was lost and the com
bined Coble and Brooks motion went
through,... -
Further discussion followed on the
authority of the committee of five,
which, according to various stockhold
ers, carried all the authority the club
possessed and Ignored the directors,
-xecutlve and finance committees. The
angle was Anally straightened out by
directing the committee report back to
he stockholders before taking final
action.
Prssldent Pierce Hucker, speaking
thrnueh his narllamentarv adviser.
wanted the atockholdera to appoint'
the committee of five, but the stock
holders refused to accept the buck and
passed It back to the president.
No proposition was presented to the
tockholders on the matter of a joint
Inbhouse with Greensboro and High
Point members, to be erected between
the two cities, and the matter, did not
come up for discussion except occa
sionally when In discussing other mat
ters some stockholder would say ne
was against the Idea. Apparently It la
not favored.
The meeting was largely attended
and In the course of three hours sev
eral hundred motions must have been
made. But they wore all straightened
out by the president, assisted .by Mr.
Hobgood.
NEW QUESTION ARISES
AS TO IRISH TREATY
Home Think It Should He Submitted To
the Various Constituencies
For Approval y
Dublin, Deo. U. The division of
opinion among member of the dail
eireann Is not limited to the question
of approval or disapproval of the
treaty with Great Britain signed In
London laat week.
Borne slnn feln leaders who think
the treaty Is a good one agree with
Kamori de Valera, the slnn (eln presl
dent, In believing that It embodies
such a departure from the policy pre.
vlously submitted to the south Ireland
electors that it cannot m accepted
without a direct and fresh mandate
from the various constituencies.
The Irish newspapers in Dublin gen
erally urge that since the delegates to
the London conference were plenlpo
tentlarles, Ireland Is bound to stand
by their aotion, but some journal
hold the view that the powers of the
delegates were limited by the under
standing that any treaty they might
negotiate should com before the dail
for ratification.
Blnn feln observer today pointed
out it would be difficult to refer the
matter to the country In view of the
fact that the scheme of elections In
south Ireland T one of proportional
representation, on a basis unsuitable
for deciding such direct issues.
Throughout todays informal dis
cussions at the Mansion house it was
evident that the personal relations of
the leaders who oppose eaoh other
continue to be most friendly.
None of those who have attempted
to estimate the number of Mr. De
Valera's supporters in the dail has
placed the number at , less than 40,
and in some quarters it I forecast that
It a division should occur the vote
will probably be close.

London, Dec. IS- (By Associated
Press.) Conjecture continue rlfo re
garding tha decision of the dail elrann
will make at Its momentous meeting
Wednesday on tha Irish treaty. Con
ference continued at the Mansion
house today, but little leaked out to
indicate tha trend of the discussions.
A statement Issued by Eamon De
Valera at Dublin tonight, In which he
declared that any agreement was sub"
Ject to ratification by the dail eireann.
Is considered In some quarter to lend
support to those who think tho dail
eireann will make no decision but re
fer the Issue to the electorate on the
ground that the members of the dail
eireann were not authorised by the
Irish people to aocept tha settlement
the delegate 'signed.
Mr. De Valera's statement apparently
was occasioned by the persistent argu
ment in the newspapers that the treaty
must be ratified because the Irish sig
natories were plenipotentiaries. It is
reported from Dublin that Professor
McNeill, speaker of th dail eireann.
and 8. Hayes, noted figure In the
Irish republican army, are In favor of
ratification.
Conservative and moderate elements
throughout the south are pressing for
ratification and a powerful Impetus will
be given this movement if the hier
archy, which meets tomorrow, oomes
out with a plea for acceptance of the
treaty.
At Belfast the Ulster party held a
meeting to hear Sir James Craig's re
port 'of his visit to London. After a
discussion described as "stormy" It
(ailed to decide whether Ulster should
Join with southern Ireland or contract
out of the all-Ireland parliament. Sir
James Craig informed the parliament
that the situation was grave and com
plicated as never before by the agree
ment reached between the British gov
ernment and the slnn feln. He charged
Mr. Lloyd George with violating the
pledge given to Ulster, but advised
against taking any action not constl
tujlonal. - He concluded with a plea
that Ulster's Interests be left in the
hands of Its leaders.
