SLAVE GIRLS FOUND
Spectacular Raid On San Francisco
Chinatown Brings Smuggling
to Light.

San Francisco, Cal, March 13.- A
spectacular raid in Chinatown last
night resulted in the capture Of six
Chinese slave girls, said to have been
Illegally imported and purchased for
the sum of $25,000. The girls were re-
moved to the Angel island immigration
station, and will be held there to await
the action Of the government. 1t is be-
lieved the girls were smuggled into this
port within the last six months and
that they will be deported. The raid
was made by immigration officials and
policemen. Before the hiding place OF
the girls was discovered, the officers
chopped through seven blind doprs.
The door Of the secret chamber in
which the girls were huddled was an
ingeniously contrived panel containing
the portrait of the Chinese emperor.

POWDER COMPANY
TO REBUILD TOWN
OFFICERS OF DUPONT CONCERN
WILL PAY ALL DAMAGES RE-
SULTiNG FROM BLAST.

Pleasant Prairie, Wis, March 10
The Dupont Powder Co. officials and
directors, after an all-day meeting in
the ruins Of their plant here promised
to rebuild the village and to pay every
cent OF actual loss sustained by any
person as result of the explosion of
Thursday night. The promise was
made by J. P. Laffey; Of Wilmington,
Del, general counsel for the company.
Three More Deaths.
Three more Deaths caused Indirectly
by the explosion, were recorded almost
coincidental with the announcement by
the company. The deaths are:
VIM. P. Robinson, assistant cashier
OF the First National bank Of Kenosha,
died of heart disease, following the
shock.
Margaret Kingman, died at Bristol
as a result of the shock.
Mrs. Caroline Hartl, died at Keno
sha hospital from the shock.
The company plans to rebuild at
least a portion Of the mill at once, and
1t was said Saturday,may be making
powder by this morning. The man.
ayers admitted however, that the plant
here is too large and that a large
amount Of the business previously
done here will be transferred to the
new plant at Hibbing, MINI.
Residents Resist Plan.
The plan to rebuild will be resisted
by the residents of Kenosha county.
and word was received from the state
capitol that bills will be introduced
that either will make powder manu-
facture impossible here or impose
such inspection and restriction as to
make repetition of the explosion on
Thursday impossible. Two bills are
ready for Introduction to put stringent
regulations around the handling of ex-
plosives in Wisconsin.
The losses caused by the explosion
will be held b. the company as a
"moral obligation" and will be paid
without legal fight The only delay
expected, according to officials Of the
company, will be that necessary to
verify the claims against the COM
pany.
Doubts over List of Dead.
New doubts as to the number Of
dead in the explosion were raised to-
night in Kenosha when the corners
jury failed to return verdict on the
death of e. S. Thompson. The mem
bers held that the evidence presented
was insufficient to convince them the
portions of the kody found were those
Of Thompson. The inquest was adj
journed until Tuesday night.
Three fellow workmen Of the former
glaze mill foreman swore to the iden-
tity Of the remains.

the picnic of the Ladies' Auxiliary.

Horan delivered able addresses on
Hibernianism and delved into Irish
history in their respective arguments.
Under the head of good of the order

Hession and others. All of them
talked about the coming picnic and
expressed the wish that it would be
a success. At the close President

IRISH AIRS
Responsible For American
Martial and Fighting
Music.

All that glitters is not gold
neither is all American music of
American origin. During the civil
war both sides stole melodies from
the European nations, and now, ac-
eording to authentic reports, yam
kee Doodle" and Dixie are old
irish airs adapted to suit Americans.
One Of our esteemed Irish-American
friends in Louisville sends us the
following:
Appropros of the discussion rela-
tive to the origin of Dixie" the
following letter of w. III. Grattan
Flood, author of the History of
irish Music" and History of the
Harp" throws further light on this
famous melody. Mr.. Flood is re-
sponsible authority and is not given
to unqualified statements: MY pub
ishers duly forwarded me your let
ter, and / have much pleasure in
answering it, if only to vindieate the
irish origin of Yankee Doodle.
Marion Harland merely repeats the
exploded myth as told for the past
century in all published accounts Of
the origin of Yankee Doodle until
Charles /. and Cromwell association
was shown to be utterly absurd by
BARLEY Squire, of the British
Museum. The verses to Lucy Lockett
can not possibly have been written
before the year 1928, whilst Kitty
Fisher did not die until 1771. state
now definitely that the tune of Yam
kee Doodle is Irish and was known
before the year 1850 as All the Way
TO Galway The song of Yankee
Doodle was adopted to this air in
1855 (1756D, and the earliest ref
erence to 1t is in April. 1867, when
It was included as the fourth air in
the comic opera of The Disappoint-
ment.' oliver Wendell Holmes
rightly calls the air "a country
dance, and a manuscript copy Of the
irish dance tune dated 1850 is still
preserved. 1t was first printed by
Aird, of Glasgow, in 1882. Dixie is
also an Irish air, merely arranged
Oy Dan Emmett for Bryant's min
strels.s BY the way. Bryant himself,
who ran the Chrlsty minstrel busi-
ness in New York in 1850, was an
lrishman. His real name was Cor
nelius O'Bryan, and he died In
Brooklyn in 1902. There were three
brothers in the Cornelius

the Irish air to Dan Emmett, who

RumOrs That the Lords Will
Reject the Bill Now
Pending.
King and Queen Pleased with
Reception Given Them in
Ireland.
MAKING POLITICAL CAPITAL

The Tory Peers are dying in the
last ditch according to the latest ca
BILE advices. 1t is now probable that
the Peers instead of amending the
veto bill and sending it back to the
House of Commons will reject it en-
tirely. In that event Premier AS
quith will request King George to
create 500 new Peers. However, the
Liberals are no more anxious than
the Tories to see the House of Lords
inflated, and the Premier's request
to the King will not be made until
the Lords make it absolutely un-
avoidable.
Two moves were made in the
House of Lords on Monday that ex-
cited comment. One was a confer
ence of the Conservative leaders, the
Marquis of Lansdowne, the Earl Of
Selbourne, Baron Middleton and the
Marquis of Salisbury and others. Just
what transpired at the conference
has not been given out authorita-
lively, but it is rumored that the Con-
servatives have decided to reject the
veto bill altogether. The second
move of the day to cause comment
was Lord Morley's appeal to the Lib
eral Peers. In a circular letter ad-
dressed to them he said:
"It is possible that certain num-
ber of opposition Peers may force
division on the third reading of the
Parliamentary bill. The momentous
results at stake, both immediate and
In the future, make 1t in the highest
degree desirable that no supporter of
the bill should be absent from his
place. 1 earnestly trust therefore
that Your Lordships will not fail to
give His Majesty's Government the
advantage of your presence on what
may prove so truly critical an occa-
sion"
Lord Morley's unusual appeal has
been attributed TO a threat to reject
the bill. The matter caused quite a
furry for little while and then was
succeeded by comfortable calm.
Meanwhile there is a struggle on be-
tween the two factions of the Con-
servatives in the House of Lords,
the standpatters and those who are
willing to accept the bill under pro-
test.
While the Lords are worrying over
the veto bill the newly crowned King
and Queen appear to be hugely en-
Toying themselves. Within a week
they visited Ireland, Wales and Scot
land, and If reports be true they en-
joyed their visit to Ireland more than
the tours of Wales and Scotland.
Regarding his visit to Ireland King
George said: 81 never knew any
thing like It," and Queen Mary
chimed in, "It really was delightful.
We were made so perfectly at home
on the instant we arrived, and the
warmth of the people thrilled us"
Both political parties are trying to
make capital out of the royal visit to
ireland. The Unionists declare that
the Nationalists showed the King
that they were perfectly contented
and did not want home rule, while
the Nationalists believe that the King
will do his utmost to restore Ireland's
Parliament,

SARCASM.
Quaint Irish Saint Knew
How to Stop All
Trouble.

The giant steamships sailing from
New York are packed with tourists
and it is safe to say that a trip
through Ireland is included in the
itinerary of many of them. If those
who visit the beautiful Lakes of
Killarney will stop at the parish of
Kilcummin, which is but few miles
away, they will see the recently
erected memorial cross marking the
spot on which mass was said in the
open air for nearly one hundred
years in the penal times. The cross,
which is of marble, Celtic shaped,
and resting on a pedestal of lime
stone, is the first of its kind erected
in Ireland. The parish of KilcunI-
min is one of the historic parishes in
Ireland. During the penal days,
when the same price was set on the
head of a priest as on the head of a
wolf, many priests were murdered in
this parish of Kilcummin by Crom-
wellian troopers.
The patron saint of Kilcummin Is
st. Cummian, who was born about
100 years after the death of st. Pat
rick and died in the year 691. He
was born at place named Drum-da
litter. The exact spot has not yet
been identified. We know 1t was
not far from the shores of the Lakes
of Killarney, and it may possibly
have been Kilcummin parish itself.
He is the author of a Latin poem in
honor of the apostles, a celebrated
treatise or letter on the Paschal con-
troversy and a Penitential or collec-
tion of DEGREES taken from the coun-
ellis of the church and other sources
regulating the law of penance.
That st. Cummian was the author
of the last named work is questioned
by some, but the probabilities are
overwhelmingly preponderant that he
was the writer. The treatise on the
Paschal question shows not merely
the great learning of the writer, but
the advanced state of learning in
Ireland at the time. The author
shows a profound knowledge of Holy
Scripture, and also great
knowledge of the fathers and the
canon law of the church. He quotes
the canons of the Councils of Nice
and Aries. His writings also show
that he was thoroughly familiar with
the writings of st. Jerome, st.
Cyprian, st. Gregory, st. Augustine
and Origen. He was a strict dis
ciplinarian and to a few monks in the
north of Ireland who differed with
the rest of the world on the question
when the Easter festival should be
celebrated st. Cummian wrote
%Rome has erred, Antioch has erred,
Jerusalem has erred, Alexandria has
erred, and only a handful of Irish
men in the north are right"
