REJECTS IRISH RECOGNITION. Question Comes Before House and it Squelched on Point of Order. Washington. Indirect recognition of the "republic of Ireland" was knocked out in the house on Friday on a point of order. During consideration of the diplomatic diplo-matic appropriation bill Representative Representa-tive Mason, Republican, Illinois, a member of the foreign affairs committee, commit-tee, offered an amendment providing a salary of $10,000 for a minister to Ireland. Instantly half a dozen representatives rep-resentatives were on their feet. Chairman Rogers of the subcommittee subcommit-tee on appropriations In, charge of the bill challenged the right of the house to Include such an amendment, on the ground that it was without authority of law and that there had been no executive recognition of Ireland.
