New Ministry Settles the Threat of Rail Strike and Parliament Signs Peace
COLLINS IS HONORED

CABINET SELECTED

l>ublin, Jan. 14.—-Great things were' accomplished In .-i few short hours in Ireland to-day.    The south of Ireland parliament approved the peace treaty : with F>igland.    A provisional govern- ! ment to establish the Irish Vren State was   .••lected   with   .Michael  Collins  at Its head.    This government signed a ratincutton   of  the   peace   treaty   and forwarded   it   lo  Dublin   ca*tle.    The \ threatened Irish rail strike was avert- •d  throurh  the efforts of ilje newly : •lected ministry.
The last obstacle to the Irish Free '• State waj< removed by the unanimous vote of the south of Ireland parlia¬ mentarian., and the handing over of Ireland  to the  Irish  themselves  will begin as soon  as  l>ublin  castle offi¬ cials can   move out.    The  machinery < of the Irish government will gradual- I ly  pass  into  the  hands  of  OrlTTiths,; Collins and their followers,  until the free state ia ready to be born and a | general election is held to choose its i premier. j
The   South  of  Ireland    parliament which was elected after the  passing ! of tho latest home rule bill but who8<» j members    never    before    took    their seats, met today at the call of Arthur ' Griffith      The   Sinn   Fein   president, buying  won  tbe support  of  the  Dail for the treaty, lost no time in seeking j the approval  of  the larger southern I legislature. |

On strike since Xovember 1, 1921, when they refused to accept a wage reduction of approximate¬ ly 10 per cent, the machinists of the Kxeter Machine Worka at Kxeter, yesterday agreed to go back to Work tomorrow uiurning at a 10 per cont. roducticni. Tho terms of the uCTcement aro prac- tirally the !>ame as these under which a similar strike was set¬ tled by the employees of the Finch works at Siranton, last week.
One of the conditions of the agreement i.s that tli« terms con¬ tinue In existence for the com¬ ing year and that bo;h parties will keep the ntrreenient for al least three monilis, under any and all circumstances. and thereafter eitlier may request a change only upon at   least  thirty  days'  notice.
The settlement applies only to machini.'«ts at the lOxi-ter shops and does not nffect the employes of the niotilding shops. About forty men are employed rts machinists and the settlement will be wel¬ comed by them a.s well as by the busine.ss men iu tbe vicinity of the works.
It is believed that the settle¬ ment of the Scranton and Kxeter strikes to the apparent satisfac¬ tion of all concerned wil lopen the way for negotiations at the Vul¬ can Iron Works, this city; the Delahunty Mailiine Shop at Pitts¬ ton. and the Xicbolson Machine Shops of this city, at each of which placc.s a strike exists.

Marion, O, Jan. 14.—Two chur<-h communities near here were agog with gossip tonight following the mysterious disappearance of Rev. W. W. Crabtree of tbe Greencamp M. E. Church and Information that Mrs. R. W. Rough, wife of Rev. Rough of the Bryn Zion Church, was also missing.
Mrs. Crabtree came out with a statement, accusing her husband of infatuation with Rev. Rough's wife, whii'h she alleged had extended over a year.
The alleged affair began a year ago when the two ministers conducted a Joint revival at Mount Gilead, the statement said, and since that time Mra. Rough has frequently visited Rev. Crabtree's home.
Investigators seeking the minister were advised he hi^d been seen near Chillicotfae, but his trail was lost there.
The disappearance followed Dr. Crabtree's resignation last Sunday. Later he reconsidered and asked for a leave of absence instead, which was granted. Immediately afterward he left bis home tere, advising Mra. Crabtree he was going to Louisiana.
The simultaneous disappearance of Mrs. Rough was learned today fol¬ lowing the statement by the missing pa.stor's wife.
''I liave the matter under prayerful consideration," was all that Rev. Mr. Rough would say tonight. "God's will be done.' He refused to be disturbed by bis wlfes disappearan<e and in¬ sisted he would appear as usual be¬ fore his little congregation tomorrow,

Plans for a Jail delivery at the Luzerne County prison to liberate Samuel Puntarlo and Peter Erico, under sentence of death for the murder of Detective Samuel Luc¬ chino at Pittston eighteen months ago, were frustrated by the watch, fulness of Jail authorities. It be¬ came known last night. Discovery of the scheme resulted in the can. celling of all visiting privileges and special services In the prison, but religious services will be per. mitted today.
The Jail delivery was planned by a number of Pittston Italians who, It Is said, had been prepar¬ ing the plot for several months. They Intended to assemble at the jail during ser\-lces or at a time when the guards would be unpre¬ pared. The officers were to be covered with guns or overpowered and the two convicted slayers given an oppormnity to escape.
Pittaton police heard of the plot and at once Informed prison au¬ thorltlea The guards were In¬ structed to lncrea.se their watch¬ fulness. For several d.iys visit¬ ing privileges were denied. The danger from the plot has passed, the authorities believe.
