NO IRELAND PARDON.
Proceedings VIII Have to Be Com
menced Over.

On account of the fact that notice
OF the application for a pardon had not
been published as required by law, the
hearing of the A. E. Ireland case was
postponed by Governor Hoch this morn
ing until December g
Meantime, the attorneys and repre-
sentatives Of the American Federation
of Labor have been ordered to go to
Arkansas City for a conference, in the
hope of devfsing some plan by which
Ireland can be kept out of Jail pending
the hearing Of his application for a par
dor.
Everything seemed to be in readiness
for the hearing to proceed this morn
ing, except the fact that it had not
been properly advertised. Ireland was
represented by G. T. Atkinson, general
attorney for Kansas for the American
Federation Of Labor. The opponents to
the granting of a pardon were we'll rep
resented. Cowley county had its attor-
neys, W. D. Kreamer and J. z. Tor
renee here, and the Santa Fe railroad
was represented by Judge W. r. Smith,
general attorney, and Judge Stewart of
Davenport, Iowa.
1t is very evident from the way
things are lining up that there is to be
q stubborn fight made by both sides.
The Santa Fe is interested in the case
because it was one of its strike brea k
ers who was assaulted by Ireland The
friends of Ireland claim that the whole
affair is the result of a deep laid plot
TO get ireland into Jail and punish him
for making trouble for the Santa Fe.
Ireland was one of the leaders in the
mach1nists' strike, and had his head
quarters in Topeka for a long time
G. T. Atkinson said this morning:
AT meeting in Pittsburg, at the head
quarters of the American Federation OF
Labor, it was decided last week to fight
for pardon for Ireland with all the
power of the organization. President
Sompers will send represents here
direct from Pittsburg to assist in pre-
senting Ireland's case. We feel that
Governor Hoch should grant. the pardon
for the reason that this alleged crime
was committed, if committed at all, at
the instigation of a man named Devine,
a Santa Fe detective This man Devine
fixed I'D this whole thing as a plot to
get Ireland into trouble. Ireland was
one OF the most active and aggressive
leaders the strikers had, and Devine
wanted to get him out Of the way and
discredit him. If Ireland did anything
at all which he should not have done,
it was done as the result of this con-
spiracy. We believe that is a case
which merits the interference of the
| governor of the state. At the first trial
of the case the jury disagreed At the
second trial, don't believe the jury
understood what it was doing when It
returned a verdict Of guilty"
ireland was sentenced to serve six
months sentence in Jail, the charge be-
1 ing assault, without intent to kill.

might catch pneumonia, consumption
and rheumatism, but you viii escape the

minor ailments mentioned, you will not
be able to keep them long enough to

catch a new cold every night, and the
competition is suicidal for the colds.
There is only one illness of any con
sequence to the ordinary individual, and
that is a cold. Pneumonia may be an
awkward thing in a medical dictionary,
but it is the cold that counts.

Howard ii. Shelley Resigns First
Lieutenant's Commission.

Howard H. Shelley. first lieutenant of
Company E. Second regiment of the
Kansas National Guard at Hutchinson,
today eentFFtO tbs adjutant general the
resignation of his commission. The rea-
son assigned for this action is Inter
ference with other business
1t is likely, however, that the real
reason is something else. A short time
ago, J. f. Lawson resigned the cap
taincy of the company TO move to
Wichita. While Shelley was next in
line for promotion, it seems that he was
passed over, and an outsider chosen.
There seems to be reason to think that
Shelley has quit because he felt he had
been sighted.
Shelley is one of the crack shots in
the guard, and was a member of the
Kansas team at Sea Grit last year.
lawson was also a member of the Sea
Grit team. With both of these men out
of the guard, two of the best shots on
the Kansas team are disqualified for
next year. A man must be a member
of the guard at least a year before he
can participate in a shoot.

General Hughes this morning that Ar

ON THE NAVY'S SIDE.
President Roosevelt Views the Game
from Annapolis stand

Princeton, Dec. 2.-The presidents
special arrived at 1929 o'clock Presi-
dent woodrow Wilson boarded the
train and after greeting the president,
Mrs. Roosevelt, and other members of
the party, the start was made for the
drive to Prospect, the home of DR..
Wilson. where the presidents party
was entertained at luncheon. The re-
mainder of the presidents party, in
Guiding Theodore Roosevelt, jr., and
Miss Ethel Roosevelt and the remain
der of the party had luncheon on the
train. Miss Alice Roosevelt did not
come to Princeton.
The Annapolis special train with the
naval cadets and J. Pierpont Morgan s
special from New York arrived short
ly after the presidents train.
The gates to the university field were
opened at II o'clock to admit the crowd
that was already in waiting.
President Roosevelt reached the foot
ball field shortly after o'clock, being
escorted thither from President VIII
sons residence by two score Of Jersey
men, The president was given a tre-
mendous cheer as he entered the field
PRECEDED by two secret service men, he
walked briskly along the west stand
and took a seat in a private box on
the navy side of the field.
The West Point boys headed by the
army band entered the grounds at PIG
and the navy a few minutes later
amidst cheers.
The army won the toss and chose the
south goal with a slight advantage in
the wind.

and renewed fears of internal Russian
troubles are arising as a bugbear to the
market The cold weather Of the past Two
days is stimulating the bullish sentiment
as the winter wheat being still uncovered
could be much damaged. by severe cold
snap right now. While the export de-
mand has not been large, there has been
enough of late to show that foreigners
are not entirely Indifferent Prices are
now nearer a basis where sales should re-
suit for shipment aboard, home consump-
ton is at the same time of q volume to
take care of large part of our surplus.
and wheat looks cheap enough around
these prices. Without an impetus other
than is now apparent in the market, we do
not look for any sudden advance, but be-
lieve prices may be expected to show a
gradual improvement from this time on.
CORN-Corn closed fractionally higher
than a week ago in sympathy with wheat
and also Influenced for the time being by
the cold wave preventing marketing of
the crop This following the wet weather
OF earlier IN the week, has materially mod
fled the bearish sentiment. That there is
a large crop is undoubted, and that it
must in time come to market is also true,
but aside from this there seems little that
is bearish in the situation. Prices for
feeding are attractive to the farmer, and
he is in position to hold his corn for a
price that will net him as much as he can
get at home. Corn seems to US IN a
healthy position, and we advise buying
OATS-Though lacking the foreign de-
nand necessary to cause an advance in

wheat and corn. and have ruled strong
all the week. The visible supply in the
U. s. and Canada increased nearly 70O0 600
bushels last week, and the total visible is
very large. Notwithstanding these bear
ish facts the market shows an undertone
of strength and unless corn and wheat
decline materially, we do not look for any
serious setback in the price of oats. We
would, however, advise taking profit on
strong spots in the absence of anything
more bu1lish than is now evident.
PROVISIONS-A decided bulge in pro-
visions has awakened speculative interest
in all hog products. Pork closed last
night with an advance of about 75c a
barrel for the January option over. the
close of a week ago, after having been
| over 81 per barrel up. The May option is
not as strong relatively as the January;
There is a good cash demand and some OF
the best buying is said to be for packers
The demand is said to be especially good.

bic to be considerable activity in this
market for time. Would deem it advis-
able to take profits, waiting for a setback
to buy after such a sudden advance.

1T WILL NOT DO.
Powers Decide to Reject the sultan's
Counter Proposal.

Paris, Dec. at was learned by
the Associated Press in the highest
government quarter today that the
powers after carefully examining the
sultan's latest counter proposals have
decided to reject them and actively re-
sumo the naval demonstration in
Turkish waters on Monday with the
probable seizure of the islands of
Lemnos and Inbros. No consideration
has been given to stopping the passage
of the Dardanelles owing to the inter
ruption of international commerce
which would follow.
After an examination Of the sultan's
counter proposals all the powers came
TO the conclusion that the propositions
were dilatOry and entirely unsatisfac-
tory.

JOINT WHISKY DID IT.
E. r.. Winder, Who VIII Go to Prison,
Explains Downfall.

E. R. Winder, who pleaded guilty to
holding UP a hack and robbing the
occupants about two months ago, is
one of the prisoners in the county jail
who will be. taken to the penitentiary
next week by Sheriff Lucas. Since
pleading guilty he has made a confess
sion generating the hackman who
was arrested at the time as an accom-
plice.
Winder has been a man of some
standing in the community and was an
officer of the Bookbinders' union, and
his downfall he attributes to drinking
joint whisky and the use of drugs. In
view of this fact he was permitted to
plead guilty to larceny from the per-
son instead Of highway robbery. He
has been sentenced to the penitentiary
under the indeterminate sentence law,
which makes the penalty from one to
four years in the penitentiary at hard
labor.
