Those who talked to him in the morn
ing before he left tho Whito House do
scribed him as extremely firm in his in-
nlAn ,. eurfr hlc IpnrierRliln nf his
natty and to lay down with the Senate
1 , leaden a program of legislation.
, ' la the absence of a program tljo leg
V , ialative situation was drifting into do
! , Itr and extravagance.. Legislation
J., which the country wanted was not yet
I coming out of committee, whllo legisla
tion which appealed to groups, like tho
1 ' soldiers' bonuH nnd agricultural lcgls
( latlon.JnTolving vast expenditures, was
i being preferred.
A tpeclal session of Congress which
ra called for ilio specific purpose of
reorganizing taxation and revising the
tariff was likely to fall to accomplish
, one or the otlier pf theso purposes,
,twu u aeicicu enormously to tno pros
pective. tax burden 'of the country.
..The President had started out lean
af over backward in his regard for the
Independence oL.CongKsa, from Kxccu
he direction. Ho left it to tho House
and Senate lendcra, intimating merely a
idcMre that Congress bIiouM confine it
srlf ns closely as possible to the two
Irrat objects for which tho session was
called, tax revision and tariff revision.
Hands. Off Policy Didn't Worli
Tills method of the President did not
work. The House nnd tho Sennto
promptly disagreed as to whether tariff
, Jf taxation should bo taken up first.
The IlepublicaiiH in both Houses split
Into groups or blocs, of which tho agri
cultural bloc and the members seeking
'election and thercforo desirous of
Propitiating the soldier vote with n
pant of money were the most Impor

LOVE AND AMBITION
A 0
Rev. Clarence Gilbert, PosinK
as Single, Fired From Belle
fonte, Del. Charge
MARRIED A YEAR AGO
Love nnd ambition clashed for the
Rev. Clarence Gilbert, a secret bride
groom of a year, who has just been
ousted from his charge at Bellcfonte,
Del., because ho posed as a single man.
Mr. Gilbert, a locnl preacher of the
Methodist Episcopal Church, was mar
ried in Washington in July, 1020, his
bride being MIs Helen Berry, daughter
of Sir. and Mrs. Edward Berry, till
Franklin street, Wilmington.
The young minister wns admitted to
the Wilmington Conference last March
nnd was assigned as a supply at Belle
fonte. He told the church authorities
he was unmnrrled.
At the homo of his wife's parents to
day Mr. Gilbert told of his ambition to
enter a college or a theological seminary
nnd how he hnd planned to take his
wife to a parsonage after lie had been
nssigncd to n larger congregation.
The preacher spoke slowly in a soft.
Southern drawl ns he discussed the vac
tion of church officials when the pnrents
of Mrs. Gilbert announced the marriage
a few days ago.
"Bcllefont was my first charge." he
said, "although I had been licensed ns
a local pieacher for some time. I
formerly worked at a Chester shipyard.
I wanted to go to college. I decided to
get married, but felt thnt n student
should not hnve the responsibilities of
n married man. My wife ngreed to live
at home with her parents and keep the
wedding secret until I got a stnrt.
"Why did I tell the conference I
wns a single mnn? Well. I couldn't
o.pect to get nn) tiling but n small
charge as my first congregation nnd I
felt n single man would hac a better
cbnnro to make pond. The salary was
not large, not enough to support a wife
on, and I thought I would do other
work and save the money for a college
course.
"I didn't know just where I would
H". wnciuer to u college or some
seminary. My plans for the future ore!
not cienr either. That will have to
work out later. I don't know whether
I will continue ns a preacher or not."
The Rev. Ralph Minkei. of Grace
Church, Wilmington, hns been assigned
to look nfter the Bellcfonte charge,
pending the appointment of another
preacher ttiere.

By the Associated Press
London, July 8. Representatives of
the Sinn Fein nnd the Unionists of
South Irelnnd met nt Dublin todny to
continue conversntions which, it was
hoped, would develop some bnsls for
pence negotiations which would end tho
era of bloodshed thnt hns prevailed In
Ireland for many months.
Everj body interested in the settle ,
ment of the Irish situation wns nnx
lonsly watching for news from Dub
lin, but English political writers la
tills morning's newspapers seemed to
believe the prospect of nn ngrecraent
should be regnrded more with hone than1
with faith. In ninny quarters, indeed,
the situation wns viewed as giving lit
tle occasion for optimism.
This view wns basce'l largely on the
belief that Enmon De Valera. lender of
the Sinn Fein, nelhered unalterably to
his demand for the establishment of nn
Irish republic, and that the British
Government, ns well as T'lster, took
Its stand upon the. Irish Act recently
passed by the British: Parliament.
Clin? to Irish Act '
Tt was stated that Earl Mldlcton. a.

Whether, in thn fnce of such nn nt
