When asked concerning the condition of the money market at present, Mr. Grover rolnted out that this is not a pressing question at this time, as the temporary suspension of active business during the harvest season naturally lessens the demand for money.

The second question was whether guardians of Incompetent adults shall be paid the entire income or whether they shall 'be restricted to $1000 per quarter, the same as incompetents who have had 1 legal guardians, appointed. The ruling states definitely that incompetent adults, including those having legal guardians, are to have allowances of $10010 for maintenance and support and that each minor is to be paid $500 'quarterly for like purposes.

The ambassador went to Chequers Court and saw Prime Minister Lloyd George there. This morning the subject Is understood to have been discussed by the British cabinet.

The preliminaries which led to President Harding's invitation are understood to have involved a long conversation between Ambassador Harvey and Lord Curzon at the foreign office last Tuesday.

As a result the ambassador was able to Inform the Washington, government, it appears, that the time was ripe for a formal declaration. Toe Evening Standard in its news article today, links the name of Nicholas Murray Butler, President of Columbia University with the pres of the Bosne es of the act, for as pointed out by the superintendent, if the entire share is to be turned over to legal!

U. S. Warships Return Mexico City, July 11 United States warships, which on Friday were reported to have been withdrawn from Tampico, returned to that port yesterday. Dispatches reaching Mexico City last night said the Sacramento and Cleveland again were anchored at the mouth of tho Panuco river, and, although no ex-' planation was given for their return it was presumed the vessels withdrew to the high seas for twenty-four hours in order to avoid the technicalities of International law, and then returned to Tampico.

The Buick motor car which Oldroyd was driving was a total wreck, and the Ford was partially destroyed. Oldroyd and Floyd started early In the afternoon for Kansas City, in Oldroyd's motor car. Traveling at a rate of about twenty-five miles an hour they came into the blind crossing.

The Ford, coming down oft the hill, made a maneuver as if to swerve to the north, and the local men cut into the west.

The third and very important question was whether legal guardians are bound to invest the funds of their wards in the same class of securities in which the superintendent is authorized to invest the funds of incompetents who have not had guardians appointed. In this case the solicitor is of the opinion that the entire income due adults not having certificates' of competency and for whom legal guardians have ally, the whole field of international relations. at a settlement of the Irish question.

It is understood De Valera's col- linka of understanding with Ambassador Harvey on the one hand and Lord Curzon on the other, as representing the two governments.

From distant parts of southern and western Ireland came reports of violence for the week end, but these incidents all oc-cured before the truce became effective and the Dublin authorities assume they were due to the fact that word of the truce had not yet been received.
