Wajihinjfton, March 1.—Pa.ssage of the Victory Loan bill this sesiiion ap¬ peared certain lata tonight when sen¬ ate Republican leaders announced that none of their members, apparent¬ ly, were planning to filibuster against the measure. It waa about 11:30 o'clock when Senator 8mott, after canvaaaing the situation, declared: "No one that I know of on the Republican side is go¬ ing to do any filibustering on this measure. It appears likely to go i through at this session." At the same time Senator Penrose admitted the passage of the measure was evident, though he declarad it was being put throogh "at the point of the bayonet " "I am powerless to prevent It," he said. "Never before has congress ab¬ dicated its power in thia respect. I refer to the clause allowing the secre¬ tary of the treasury to fix the Interest rate- 1 for one have cast my last vote to give autocratic power to the execu¬ tive departmenU" "I shall rote acalnst the bill on this ground."

It was tHiid, however, that the Republicans would not have enough votes to prevent Its passage. Senator Lodge suggrested that the interest rates on the Victory loan be 3 1-2 and 4 1-2 per cent, depending on the tax exemption. Numerous parlies in evening dress came into the galleries after midnight to listen to the defate—anticipating "Kire Works".

Wilson To Meet Irish Delegates Who Appeal For a Free Nation Washington. March 1.—President Wilson has agreed to meet a group of proponents of self-determina¬ tion for Ireland, after his speech in New York Tuesday night. A committee, headed by John W. GofF, New York, which sought an interview here, issued a statement to¬ night, declaring that they had been shunted aside four days in their efforts to obtain an audience at the execu¬ tive mansion. Tlie delegation which came from the recent Irish convention in Philadelphia, proposes to ask the President to include Ireland as a small "submerged nation, entitled to self-determination." The committee had prepared a letter to FSresident Wilson pointing to its inability of making an app>ointment with him, but withheld it on the promise of the New York engagement.

His service period came to a close when he was invalided home aft¬ er being gassed twice. He is at pres¬ ent visiting at the home of Attorney and Mrs. Frank McCormid; on West River street, but will sooft leave for California to build up his health. Lynch enllste<l at Philadelphia on October 27. 1917. .ind within two months his company was m Prance moving toward the scene of battle. He was In Co. P. of the «th Engineers of the Regular Army. His outfit went in¬ to action almost immediately and from that time his regiment and other units made history unprecedented in the ex¬ perience of engineering units. The engineers were thrown into the battles that had a decisive influence on the outcome of the war. Chatteau-Thierj-.

While fighting in the St. Mlhiel sector he was overcome by gas wavee. He was sent to a hospital In the rear where he finally reco\-Bred. In the same attack many of his comrades were killed.

In two of the pris¬ oners the police recognized men who were previously arrested for the same offense and whose cases will go before the grand jury next Thursda\. The three men arrested in the grocery store were: Pealia Antonono, Of 125 Tmopkins street. Pittston; John Valtlers, of 39 Pine street, Pittston. and Angelo Ochipento, of lir> Thomp- kins street. Pittston. They were placed in' the police lock-up for a hearing today. The raiding party was he.ided by Chief Thomas Newcomb. the other of¬ ficers being Sergeant Allcrdycva and Patrolman Redlntcton. When they en¬ tered Polloto's .store th"y found a half dozen men in the place. No trouble was experienced when the loungers were commanded to hold up their h.inds. The police covered their men with revolvers and provided against any means of escape When the men were searched An¬ tonono was forced to give up a .82 calibre revolver. VaJtiers had a .38 revolver. Ochipento had a .38 weapon. The other men were permitted to go home' while the three gunmen were taken to the police station. An alleged swindle in motion picture Aims- valued at thousands of doilara was made public in this city yesterday when it was an¬ nounced that detectives who have been secretly working here for sev¬ eral months had collected enough evidence to permit the issuing of wairants tomorrow for a number of local men said to be implicated in the deal. i The local case will be one of a series of prosecutions started by several large motion picture film exchanges to punish men in other cities who had been engaged in the same work, according to a state¬ ment made last night in Alderman Frank Brown's office by Irving Brown of New York, a representative of the film distributors. The alleged swindle consisted of securing the right to show high grade films and then secretly re-photographing them, the duplicate film being as good as the original, but only a trifle in expense conra- pared to the cost of making the original. Other charges that may ap¬ pear in the wurrants will be the showing of pictures without the seal of the State censor, the receiving of stolen films and their unlawful concealment The local cas«? started yesterday when Attorneys Abram Salsburg and Mose Salsburg secured a writ of re¬ plevin from the court to compel 'Wal¬ ter Casteriin, a local attorney and un¬ til recently owner of :i moving picture on Hazle street, to surrender certain films alleged to be in his possession. The writ was served on Casteriin by Deputy Sheriff M. H. Bowen. A pre- liinlnary hearing was scheduled before Alderman Bfwwn last night but was postponed until tomoiTow. film c»>rporat!e.ns. principally the Fa¬ mous Players, the t^skey and the World Film, have recently mijsed films showing bigr productions.
