HOTBED OF CRIME
 IN NORTH IRELAND

Dublin, January 14.-(Special. )-The
 north of Ireland. which has long been
 paraded as a place of law and order. has recently become hotbed of
 crime. The Orange organizations are supposed to be at the back of all the trouble. When I say Orangemen, I mean those radical irreconcilibles who
 have been regarded as the curse of
 their country. They have been actually
 talking about arming themselves to
 resist the government in case 1t should i grant home rule to the Irish people. | confidential circular has been sent
 by the Irish executive to every police
 station in the north of Ireland request ing the officers in charge of countries
 and districts to make diligent inquiries
 relative to the threatened arming of the
 unionists of Ulster The circular also
 directs county inspectors to see that
 the full complement of men is attached to each station.
 Simultaneously. 1t transpires, the Ulster Unionist council has placed an | advertisement In German papers asking for tenders for a large supply of rifles. tenders to be addressed to the Ulster Reform club, Belfast. Large consign-
 nets of what is labelled "Spinning min
 machinery" have latterly been reaching districts around Belfast, and finding
 their way into local Orange halls.
 The Orangemen have been stirring up
 outbreaks and the destruction of prop
 erty. They may be fairly said to be
 anarchists of Ireland if the country has ana rchists.
 Belfast has been disgraced by out breaks. Very recently a number of its policemen were actually arrested for
 robbery. Big cases of smuggling have
 been discovered in that city and recent ly two crooked whisky stills were To- cated in the city. ~ Nine young men were at the Ulster asassizes acquitted of .assaulting Frank
 Tennison and John Fox at Derryadd. The accused are named R. J. Brown, D. Matchett. Jacob MAteer. William c.
 MCausland. J. MKeown. w. J. Nicho- son. W. J. Richardson, G. Ritchie and W. J. Wylie.
 Constable P. Mcdonald stated that
 Tennson and Fox were attacked by
 an Orange band Tennison was knock

ed down and kicked and struck with a deacon pole. Witness ran to his side and begged the crowd not to kill Ten ison and he added, they complied with my request" Fox and Tennison had tried to oppose the bands march.
 When Thomas Roche, farmer, hold ing 500 acres, was charged at Listowel with drunkenness, he said he had taken six bottles of stout on the day in ques tion, but was capable of drinking 20 bottles of stout, as he had often done at weddings and parties without the slightest deviation from sobriety He admitted he was drunk from a police standpoint and perfectly sober from the viewpoint of citizen. Why man alive,' he said. "six bottles of ale are list an eye-opencr for me"
 The gardians of the Cork union at its last meeting had before them an amusing application for wife. The writer in his letter said:
 If ye has a young woman in tho 1 house, betune 20 and 25 years old, what would make me a suitable wife, l I'll take her. Me age is 53, and I have a pinshan from the army and l does odd jobs around the city. I has no politicks. I object to woman wearing hobble dresses as me means would not pay for them. 1 takes no drink unless I gets 1t from friend. If she is will ing to see me. I will see her at the union text board day"

SENATORIAL RACE
 GETTING HOTTER

New York, January 14.-An attack from behind the lines on William F Sheehan, one of the leading candidates for seat in the United States Senate threw the whole battle front into con fusion today and there was no prospect tonight that the situation would clear until Charles F. Murphy at Albany saw fit to speak his mind.
 Murphy's friend and adviser J. Sar- geant Cram, astounded politicians by a drive at MT. Sheehan's record as sharp as it was unexpected.
 The interests" he said. have one senator already and should not have two.'
 And as if to confound confusion, he went on to praise Edward M Shep- ard of Brooklyn. the candidate for whom MT. Murphy reported no senti- ment existed In "the organization"
 Just such an attack was not re- membered by the oldest Tammany Hall retainers. What did 1t mean? Was 1t revolt? Did Mir. Cram speak for him. self or for MT. Murphy indirectly? The answer seemed to lie in the activity that fololwed.
 Former Judge Alton B. Parker, Mir Sheehan's law partner. got wind of 1t in Esopus. his country place. and i'm mediately put out reply in which he asserted that MT. Sheehan, If elected senator. would be as free "as God s free air"
 MT. Sheehan himself would make no comment. MT. Murphy looked interest ed and thought 1t highly probable he might have something to say later.

NO RESTRICTION
 UPON GOLF CLUB

Chicago, January 14.-Golf players of the United States may go right on playing with such golf clubs as they see fit. The United States Golf association, at it's an- nual meeting here tonight. adopted a res olution which received the approval of large share of the members falling to uphold the ban of the Royal and Ancient club of St. Andrews, Scotland, against the center shafted butter known as the Schenectady butter.
 The resolution held that the form and make of a golf club should not be a matter of rules in this country and that no club except real mallets should be barred from American greens.
 The question of approving or disagree ing with the St. Andrews ruling was the chief question considered by the associa- ton.
 The award of the championships for 1911 also proved interesting. The National Amateur championship, the tourney for which the greatest contest was waged, was awarded the Apawams Golf club of Rye, N. Y., the Deal Golf club and the Philadelphia club being it's chief contest ants
 The national open championship went to the Chicago Golf club. The national woman's championship went to the Bal tusrol club of New Jersey.
 The following were elected officers of the association: Aa
 President, Silas A. Strawn, Chicago.
 First vice president, William A. Alex ander, Exmoor Country club, Chicago.

Many member has been refused a renomination because of a failure to vote on bill of national importance, or was absent when bill of local interest was called up," said Whip Garner today. "and knowing the importance of this I have made 1t rule to notify all democrats and so you will find in the record of the last session that the minority members were present on all critical and impor- tant. occasions"
 Whip Garner is regarded as conserva- tive, because of his experience on the bench, and he is frequently. consulted by the leaders on important party questions His advice is generally followed. When a democrat is called out of town Whip Garner sees to it that he has his address so that telegram can be sent in an emergency, when all the democratic vote is needed Several times last session the democrats were able to score victory by bringing the absent ones back by a telegram sent by the whip.
