Bank Bldg, By EDWARD E. BRITTON (By Special Leased- Wire) Washington, July 18.-The flaying of the proposition of the Republicans of the way and means committee to im pose a tariff on petroleum and erode oil went on merrily today in the House, with the result that the Democratie of fejiaive against, this J'mopstrons item'' of a "monstrous' measure of high pro tection, aided b,y members of the Be publican party, brought defeat to it. In the course, of the debate it was brought out that President Harding had written . Uo Letters to Chairman Fordney of Jhe ways and means committee, whose name goes on .the bill, in the first of which, written on June K, bo opposed the tai on crude oil and petroleum, and asked for a measure which would permit him to "bargain" for protection both on oil and lumber, his request being for lum bor also being put on the free list. The bill as offered the Houso pro- jided for a tai of 35 cents a barrel of 42 gallons on petroleum and Jo cents a barrel on fuel oil. An amendment of fered v a Republican to reduce the 35 cents levy to 25 cents was carried and then thcro was a union of forces which put across the amendment of Represent ative Treadway, of . Massachusetts, to restore oil to the free list. It was a spirited fight, and in the course of it Congressman Byrnes, of 8outh Carolina. .tried to get Chairman rordney to read the. second letter from Presiitent Hard ing, --but Mr.-Fordney refusedi In his remarks,. Byrnes told of the damage that would be done to the shipping and railroad interests and others using oil, that the tax proposed by the Hepubli cans would impose burdens upon the many thousands jof users of motors trucks and automobiles. The fight was fast and turrous on the measure-. . . Brinsos- Im the Fran ' RnpreecatatiTO Murphey, Republican, of Ohio, argued for the tariff on oil, and in closing turned on hi Bepublican to I league, and with bitterness rankling In , his Yoke, invited those in favor of free oil to walk over to the Democratic side and j"in with that party in the fight that it was making aginst the tux. Represcntatve S. M. Brinion, of North Carolina,' followed Mr. Murphey, and catching up the Murphey "invitation," announced that he would extend the same invitation to President Harding, whose letter of a few days ago to Chair man Fordney suggested that fuel oil be placed oa the free liatt. Mr. Murphey, however, stood mate, making no reply. I Continuing his remarks, Congressman Iirinson showed that a tariff on oil, as proposed in the Fordney bill, would be hurtful to agricultural interests, now seriously crippled, increasing the cost of operating tractors and nearly all the machinery used oa the modern farm lie showed the limited amount of oil produced in this country is much less than the amount consumed, that the tax could only profit the oil' producers in a limited section of the country, but would greatly increase the cost to every owner of an automobile, to every vuser tf gasoline and fuel oil for any purpose. The United States government itself, he declared," ill have much larger fuel bill if thia provision of the pro poaed law is passed, because all the Modern large naval vessels use oil as ftreL- - - -. Urcea Conservation Ho emphasised the need of conserving our natural resources, stating that our government had recently paid Colombia 125,000,000, as provided in the treaty, in order to seenre oil rights there, flirty five per cent of the money invested in Mexican oil is American money, and in determining thia matter that fact ahonld at least inspire a friendly interest in those oil fields. 'This is a valuable asset and I protest JJ said "Mr. Brinson, " ' against the proposed action of the Be publicans in erecting a, barrier between the users of gasoline end" oil in this country and the large supply available to lis in Mexico... The proposed tax will prevent the importation of this oil and - enable the few American producers to charge "what they will for the output of their wells.' Ho discussed several other features of the bill, but confined his remarks largely to the oil schedule. Mr. Brinson closed by calling Mr. Fordney'i attention to the wrong oon- atraetioa he, Mr. Fordney, placed npoa passage front the Scriptures read by him in opening tlie -debate oa the bill , Mr. rordney had read frost Timothy 5:8 "But if ansa provide not for his own, especially for hut owa household, ho has denied the faith and ia worse than an Infidel. Mr. Briasoa charged Mr. rordney with detaching this past are from it context and s-iviaa it i meaning at varianee with all Scripture teaching.. Quoting several Msaace to show this, Mr. Briasoa closed by telling Mr. Fordney and the Bouse ' that the very genius of Bible teaching from, lid to, bd was summed up and Included fa tho'pasaage, "Bear ye eas aaotltei's bur: ' !

DURHAM CENTRAL HIGHWAY nm ii urn niiin irn HITCH IN PLAN FOR Statement ' By Ulster Premier Brings On Deadlock In Irish Negotiations SELF-DETERMINATION BY ULSTER STRESSED Lloyd George and De Valera Hold Another Conference, But Nothing As To What Transpired Was Made Pub lic; Still Hope For Success of Peace Negotiations London, July 18. (By the Associated Preas.) The Irish negotiations have taken sn ' unexpected development to night: Sir James Craig, the t'lstcr Tre mier, on leaving for Belfast, made an important statement, which appears t forbid any hope of assembling a con ference such as Premier Lloyd George propose between himself, Mr. De Ya lera, and 4be Ulster Premier. , The Ulster leader maintains that the Sihn Feiners themselves, by contesting the elections for the northern psrlin- ment on a platform of "ho partition," in which they were roundly defeated, have recognized Ulster's claim to self determination, and so far as his word have been interpreted f"r the present., he seems to wash Jm. hands of- any further participation in the peace nego tiations. Craig's Statement Sir James said. "I return homer wrirWisfled with the efforts being made towards prac. Mr. De a lor a has broken his sileure anl rleared the ground by his statement to the press that he proposes to found his claim on recognition of the right of self- determination. Tho Ulster Premier contended tint the people of northern Ireland, in the r.eent elections, "determined" their owi parliament by an Overwhelming major ity, and that Mr. De alera ajd hit friends admitted the right of smh self determination on the part uf northern Ireland by the fact that they themsclvp stood ss candidates for the northern parliament and submitted their policy of "no partition-,-Th is, in fact, w is the only issued placed before the elc- torate, said Hir James, and "no parti tion' was rejected by the largest ma jorMf ever secured ia any geaernl elec tion. . "Such being tho true facts," he con tinued, "it now only remains for Mr. Do 'Worn and the British people to come to terms regarding the area out side pf that of which I am prime min uter. The people of northern Ireland make no claim whatever to 'determine' the terms of settlement which Great Britain shall make with southern' Ire land. '"'When this is accomplished, I can promise cordial cooperation on equal terms with southern Ireland in any mat ters affecting our common interest. "Having reached the present stage, I return to Ireland to carry on the prac tical work of the government. I fc?l that our interests are ably represented in the Imperial Parliament and, of course, our services sre svailable at any moment. Another Conference The official announcement issued at the close of a long conference between Premier and Mr. Do Valera today the says : "The conversations between Mr, Lloyd George and Mr. De Valera will be resumed Thursday This ordinarily would permit the British public snd Ireland still to indulge in confident hope that a satisfactory settlement would ultimately be reached. But Sir James Craig's statement, which was. given out in the form of an interview, has put rather a damper on the hope ful spirit. -- - Nothing is allowed t oleak as to what takes place behind the closed doors of the cabinet room and the secrecy even extends, to a tacit agreement to put no question on the subject in parliament. The negotiations, in fact, have all the character of diplomatic, exchanges ie tween two foreign diplomats. Though it had been, thought possihl? from the first that Ulster might adopt such an atitude, this sadden dashing of hopes that a peace conference would be asemblcd as an outcome of the sepa rate negotiations of tho prime minister with De Valera aivdsCraig, comes some what as a shock to the public. Ulster's Ultimatum The Ulster premier now declares bluntly that the British government must reach its own agreement with De Valera and that Ulster is dtcrmincd to maintain its present stwfns, thns repudiating the whole Sinn Fein argu ment that Ulster is in the minority and must bow to thjSj majority in Ireland. There is some hope,' however, that when Mr. Lloyd George meets Mr. De Valear again on Thursday he may he able. by some means to rescue the ncgo tiations from the apparent 'deadlock. While the 'Premier was in conference with Mf. De Valera he sent a telephone message for the Ulster leader, who ar rived with the Marquis at Londonderry almost at the moment that tho Premier waa taking leave of Mr. De Valera. Ii fact' the latter wss not aware nntii Afterwards that Sir James had been summoned. The official announcement ahowa that Mr. Lloyd George received tho Ulster premier and his eollcsgues after Do Valera had departed. : Mr. Lloyd George conferred with the Ulster premier alqne. The members of their respective cabineta accompanied tho Irish representatives, but so far as ia known did not participate ia the con ferences with the Premier. .

EARLY TOBACCO MARKETS With the majority of the bright leaf tobacco markets In Georgia, South Carolina and ' southeaster!) North Carotins, nesr the Pslmetto Stste line, opening today, interest of tobacco growers and business men generally will be centered on reports of the Initial prices. Prognostlcators as to "how If is gotwg to sell'' are always on hand before the opening aales, but the figures do not always besr out the prophecies. However, the consensus of opinion Is tint the prices will not he disappointing.
