POrtusai-CabIegram

Observation-Disclosures
PARIS, March 5.-The French chamber
of deputies Monday discussed the inter-
pellation Of NJ Dreifus in regard to the
resignation OF Minister Constans. At
the conclusion of the debate a vote of
confidence in the government was
adopted by 249 to 300. In the course of
the debate on NJ. Dreifus' Interpolation
Premier Tirard denied that there was
any discord in the cabinet. The Lewiston
is regarded as adverse to the government
in view of the fact that 120 deputies alb
stained from voting. thereby declining
to express confidence in the ministry.
The newspapers of this city are unani-
nous in the opinion that the discussion
in the chamber of deputies Of M. Drey-
fus' Interpolation in regard to the resig-
nation Of M. Constans, late minister of
the interior, weakened the ministry.
They also express the belief that a minis
terial crisis is not far off and was only
postponed by the chambers vote of con-

DENoUNcING THE cLAN-NA-GAEl

The Order Charged With Using the Cath
Ollie Church to Hide Their Doings.
PHILADELPHIA, March 5.-A distribu-
ton of a four-page paper entitled the
Clan-na-G Gael, in front of the Roman
Catholic churches in this city, Sunday,
aroused the Indignation of some of the
Roman Catholic clergymen. The Rev.
James j. Fitzmaurice, Of st. Michael
church, one of the most eminent priests
in this city, drove the distributors away
from in front of his church.
At the 1920 mass he made speech,
in which he denounced the Clan-naGael
in strong language. He said that the
organization bad brought more disgrace
on the Irish people, and done more harm
to the Irish cause, than this or the next
generation will be able to repair. Every
man in the organization" he said,
i..should consider it an insult, as an Irish
Catholic, to have such trash circulated
in front OF the church. The Clan-na-
Gael has used the Catholic church as a
cloak to hide doings. l ask you to
throw those papers in the gutter and not
let one of them enter your home"

BARBoURsvILLE. KY, March Sum
day, at Flat Lick, Sheriff Galloway
Carnes was fatally shot by desperate
named Bill Smith, leader of the Smith
faction of the Smith-Slusher feud. The
deputy sheriff attempted to arrest one of
the Smith party. Their leader objected,
and opened fire with Winchester rifle,
one ball passing through the deputy
sherifs body.
Carnes is q brother-in-law of the Mes
seres, four of the most desperate men in
the mountains, who are also members of
the Slusher side of the feud. They raj
lied their forces and started in pursuit
of Smiths crowd, but have not yet come
in contact with each other. Should they
do 50 battle will be the result. Either
side numbers thirty-tive well armed
men.
Two Battles Within q Year.
During the past year two open battles
have been fought. and men have been
killed on both sides. This trouble be-
comes worse day by day, and more
blOodshed is imminent.

miles south Of this place, came to town
Monday for wagon load of coffins,

that occurred on that creek Sunday even
ing, in which old man Archie Legeer,
his son and Mckinney, his son-in-law,
were killed outright by Joe Turner and
two other men from Bell county.
How 1t Started.
The trouble grew out of dividing some
household goods belonging to Mckinney
and his wife, who had separated. They
all congregated at Legeer's house for the
purpose of dividing the property be-
tween the man and his wife, but could
not agree only in one particular, and that
was to settle the matter with Winches-
tiers. Three killed and several Others
wounded was the result.
A man named Stringer and one named
Lane were killed at Gray's, near here, a
few days since, making total of six
killed for the last week in this county.

A Jewel That Nobody Wants.

4 costly ring. unguarded by police
or special watchmen, hangs suspend
ed by silk cord around the neck OF
a statue Of the Maid OF Almodena, the
patron saint OF Madrid, In one Of the
beautiful parks Of the Spanish capital.
II is set with diamonds and pearls,
Notwithstanding which, there II no
danger Of Its being stolen. The
greatest thief in Madrid would not
touch IL any quicker than he would
the plate on his own mothers coffin.
It's history is curious and interesting.
and equal to anything found Ia me
dieval folk lore.
The ring was made for King Alton
20 XII, who gave IL to his cousin. the
pretty Mercedes. on the day Of their
betrothal She wore IL during her
short married life. On her death the
King presented it to his grandmother
Queen Christiana. She did soon, and
the king passed the deadly little
circle TO his sister, Infanta del Pilgr,
who died within the month. Again IL
started on it's deadly rounds, next
finding place on the finger OF
Christina, the youngest daughter Of
the duke OF Montpeasier, but In less
than three month she also was dead.
Alfonso next put the ring ia bis own
casket, and lived less than a year
after SO doing. No wonder II safely
hangs on a statue il an uDguarded
square.
