VIOLENCE RESUMED
BY IRISH STRIKERS
Threat Of National Body to
Make Strike National
Causes Alarm.
(NationaI News Association

DUBLIN, Sept. 20.-Violence was
resumed in the Irish railroad strike to-
day with attacks on signal towers,
non-strikers and strike-breakers. The
strike situation took on its most alarm
ing phase with the threat of the execu-
tive committee of the Amalgamated
Society of Railroad Employees to
swing the present labor troubles into
national strike, tying up all indus
tries on the island. All other unions.
may be asked to walk out in sympathy,
paralyzing all industries.
The militant feeling on the part of
the strikers is growing and their at
titude was most menacing since the
strike went into effect. Leaders are
clamoring for general walkout which
-wi4fsnot only tie UP an industries but
cut off the Island from the balance of
the world.
The managers OF the Irish system
refuse to have any dealings with the
strikers commission.
Large bodies of troops are guarding
the lines of the Great Southern and
Western. Armed soldiers were plac-
ed upon all mail trains. The govern
ment has been asked to furnish SOL
diers who have been experienced as
trainmen to operate trains in the event
that all employees go out and sufficient
strike-breakers cannot be secured.
Clashes with the police were reported
from various points today.

POOR HEAL TIL CAUSE
OF DfLMQUlhC|ES
School Children Should Be
Given Medical Attention,
Mott Declares.

The local school authorities say that
in all probability the usual number Of
students who are really unfit for stu
dy, will present themselves for instruc-
ton at the public schools. Superin-
tendent T. A. Mott says that in many
cases deiinquencies in class room
work are much more the result OF
poor health than of too little study,
and he wants to warn the parents Of
school children at the beginning OF
the year that many Of the failures
which the parents hold against the
students are to be charged to fathers
and mothers who fail to give their
children proper medical attention.
Mr.. Mott lays special stress on the
condition of the eyes and throat as
these are the organs that are most
frequently affected. Mr.. Mott asserts
that Richmond is no exception to the
general average in the case Of aden-
oids. Many are the pupils here, ac-
cording to the superintendent, who
fall below passing grades in their
classes, and are credited with lack of
study, when they are actually suffer
ing from growth in their throats.
In some cases the school authorities
have found out the situation, and have
told the parents that their children
should be taken at once to a specialist.
In most cases this is done, and the af-
flicted child soon picks up his work,
but some parents, says Mr.. Mott, are
afraid that any operation might de-
velop serious consequences, and re-
fuse to have the offending growth re-
moved even with the warning of the
school officials.
DR.. J. E. King, the county health Of
ficer agrees with the view taken in
this matter by the school superinten-
dent, and says that undoubtedly many
students are now in the Richmond
schools who are in serious need of
medical attention. In addition to ad-
mitting the harm done from failure
to attend to the trouble with the eyes
and throat, DIR. King stated that such
ordinary ills as stomach aches were
apt to effect students work for
some time. He agreed with Mr.. Mott
in the belief that numerous fathers
were afraid to trust their children to
the care of specialist, but could not
understand the reasons for such a
course, as the children could hardly
hope to regain their health without ex-
pert assistance.

Chicago Federal Judge Says
He Will Remain Upon the
Bench if Such an lnvesti-
CATION Is Desired. -
A SLEUTH HAS BEEN
ON JURlST'S TRAIL
But Grosscup Says that This
Has Nothing to Do With
His Resignation-Case Is
Regarded Mystery.
(National News Association

(Natlonal news ASSoClatlon)
CHICAGO, Sept. 20.-Judge Peter
Grosscup sprung another sensation to-
day when he announced that he would
remain on the bench for the time be-
ing if an investigation of his acts was
desired.
There is no connection whatever
between the alleged work of a detec-
tive in following me and my resigna-
tion. If any responsible officer of Unit
ed States government, if any respon-
sible magazine editor or any respon-
sible citizen will come to the front
with the assertion that am resigning
under pressure and will show rea-
sons for such an assertion l will re-
as an opportunity has been given for
an investigation of my acts as United
States Judge"
1t was intimated today that Judge
Grosscup was practically forced to re-
sign because of the charges of friend
ly relations with corporations which
have been brought against him. His
resignation was shrouded with deep
mystery.
The fact that for two years Judge
Grosscup had been followed by secret
service men had much to do, in the
opinion of many with his decision to
resign. Judge Grosscup is known to
have amassed wealth. No judge. IN
all probability, has been more often
or openly assailed. He has been time
and again accused Of having played
into the hands of the corporations. In
the meantime the secret aof the sha'
dowing of Judge Grosscup has not
been revealed. The man who has been
shadowing was one of the shrewdest
operatives OF the secret service
Whether he had been employed by the
government Or private parties in this
work is not known, although it was
reported he was in the employ OF
Everybody's Magazine.

HARVESTER TRUST
WILL Be ATTACKED
Company in Effort to Thwart
Government Action by a
Reorganization Plan.
National News Association)

CHICAGO, Sept. 20.-The Interna-
tional Harvester company will be the
next great trust to be legally attacked
by the government of the United
States. Attorney-General Wicker
sham already has prepared papers in
the case and the company is prepar-
ing to forestall action by reorganizing
on its own initiative.
The plan of reorganization is said
to be that of the Mccormick family
and is regarded as a defeat for J. Pier
pont Morgan, inasmuch as Morgan is
being entirely out of arrangements.
Clarence s. Funk. Morgan's man, will
retire as general manager of the con-
cern when his contract expires in
November.
Attorney General Wickersham's plan
to attack the Harvester trust came as
a surprise as 1t was generally believed
that the United States Steel corpora.
tion was the next to fall under the
gavel.
McCormick's plan to reorganize
without court order created just as
much Of a surprise, especially to the
Attorney-General, and embarrassed
him not little, according to reports
in the financial district.
Information about the proposed pro.
ceedings came underground" from
Washington. The real men in the Har.
vester trust were not long in deciding
what to do. They at once sent com.
munication to Washington, asking that
they be allowed to reorganize into a
lawful trust"
Morgan's interest in the company
is well known. He is declared to have
forced the McCormicks into the trust
against their own will. The present
move, however, likely will sweep away
his financial power and leave the bust
ness in the family of the founder of
the industry.

I'm Cowes Roadsted Today
/ the British Cruiser Hawk
Rammed Great Vessel, Do
ing Much Damage.
EPANIC WAS AVOIDED
N BY EFFICIENT WORK
Fears of Passengers Gained
by Officers-Both Cruiser
and Liner Forced into Port
to Make Repairs.
(National News Association)

SOUTHAMPTON, Eng, Sept. 90
The White Star steamship Olympic,
the biggest ship in the world, was run
down by the British cruiser Hawk, in
Cowes Roadsted at noon today and
damaged 80 badly she had to be beach
ed. Twelve hundred first and second
class passengers. including many
American millionaires, were transferr-
ed to shore.
Including the steerage the Olympic
had 1000 souls aboard. The cruiser
smashed into the Olympics starboard
quarter. the water flooding the post
Office In the hold, probably running
much mail. Olympic was bound for
New York.
The Olympic was later floated and
proceeded to Southampton. The cruis-
er Hawk was badly damaged but not
crippled. The excitement on the
Olympic did not assume panicky pro.
portions.
How Accident Occurred.
The cruiser was steaming in the
same direction as the Olympic at the
time OF the disaster The warship forg-
ed ahead and apparently her pilot at
tempted to cross the liners bows. The
prov of the warship swung toward the
giant vessel while she slowly turned
about. There was crushing sound and
the two vessels drifted apart. The war
ship had rammed two holes into the
liner below the water line. In addition
10 the one on the starboard quarter,
there was another astern. There was
momentary feeling Of danger among
the passengers and some OF the wom-
en- screamed aloud in their terror.
The heavy steel plates of the cruis-
er's bows were crushed to the water
line. After standing by until the Olym-
pic was out OF danger the Hawk pro-
ceeded slowly to the Portsmouth navy
yard.
No sooner had the Olympic rammed
her nose into the mud than repair
work was under way. Ragged holes
we're patched as best as could be done
and the captain gave orders for her to
get under way and she set out at a
enaifs pace for Southampton.
Although the transferring of the pas
sengers was gigantic task it was car
ried through with clocklike precision.
The passengers were mustered on
deck while the army of stewards went
below to secure the baggage of the
passengers which was turned over to
them when they were removed.
The aggregate wealth Of the Olym.
pic salon passengers was over half
billion dollars. thirty millionaires be-
ing on the passenger list. No one was
hurt on the liner and it was reported
that no one on the Hawk had been
hurt.

but the rule will stand, the exccp-
lions being naturally few In view Of
the position taken by the board.
THIS step taken by the State BOARD

sons on the waiting list There would

Outstanding that the institution is

Against this Is TO be placed the fact
that two of the patients at the sana-
torium have been inmates for nearly
two years. To send them away to
make room for others might hasten
their end.
The board felt that as far as pos
sible. which means as far as the State
appropriation permits. every person

ton which goes with 1t. should receive

ment is regarded as extremely i'm

State Health Commissioner Ennion
G. Williams discussing this departure
yesterday, said: Air and food are the
medicines for the cure Of tuberculosis
The patient who is properly instructed
may go home and complete his own
cure. or at least arrest the progress
of the disease The fresh air life may
be lived in the lowlands, although, OF
course, the warmer weather in lower
regions causes debilitation and nat
urally retards recovery. The patient
who resides at the sanatorium for six
months and is discharged by operation
of the rule, should be able to continue
his treatment and to instruct his fam
lily and friends. His place is taken by
another. whose Ike may be saved
and who might become hopelessly i'll

1t IS felt that even If some lives are
to be sacrificed by the action OF the
board they will be those for whom
there is little or no hope in any event,
while the treatment could then be
given to persons for whom delay
means death. but whose lives would
be prolonged or who would perhaps
be entirely cured.
