system, should the British govern
ment carry out it's threat of cutting
Ulster off from the Imperial postal
and telegraph service.
In 40 towns of the province "post
houses" distinct from government
post Offices have already been estab
lished. The head "post house" at the
Unionist headquarters in Belfast, is
doing business regularly, and so are
those of some Of the other larger
towns, but for the present the smaller
"post houses" are used only for oc-
casional testing purposes. The entire
staff in these houses is composed of
women-12 in the larger towns and
six in the smaller. Boy bicycle cadets
make local deliveries, and country
messages or letters are delivered by
motor cyclists attached to the Ulster
dispatch riding corps, who are pledged
to turn out at any time of day or night
when called upon.

Supreme Court Resumes
Omitted Press Day Service)


Washington, Feb 24-The New
York stock exchange, the department
of justice heads, railroads and bust
ness interests today anxiously awaited
a number of important decisions from
the supreme court. For exactly n
month the court has withheld decisions
during it's annual recess. If the court
follows it's usual custom after recess
more than two score decisions will be
marked up today. During the entire
month past, the court has had no other
business than to make final DEGREES in
pending cases, of which there are over
100. Many have been in "the bosom Of
the court" for months, some more than
a year. Among the more important
cases in which decisions were expected
today were the "intermountain rate" or
dong and short haul' case; the
Shreveport case, the California land
case, involving claims of the Southern
Pacific Railway to $5OO,OOO,OOO worth
of western oil lands and the contempt
cases against President Gompers, for

guilty, was sentenced to the Joliet
penitentiary and served his term until
paroled in 1912. His bank went down
in the crash. Other equally promi-
nent Peorians were suspected Of con-
nection with the frauds, but escaped
indictment.
Shortly after Dougherty entered the
state prison, Eddie Quinn, convicted
bank robber, escaped. Eddie Tate, an
other convict, was paroled. Then one
morning it was found that the safe in
the offices of the Peoria school board
had been blown, and in the furnace in
the building was found the charred
remains of papers held as evidence
against the convicted school head.
Tate Quinn and a third robber, Ed
die Fay, were indicted by the Peo-
ria county grand jury after a nation
wide hunt. Tate was brought to Peo-
ria, but escaped a policeman at hos
pital where he was recovering from an
illness. He was arrested in Chicago
on another charge and sentenced to
Joliet. Fay and Quinn were never
captured. Fay was killed in a run

The enthusiasm of the ,anti-home
rule women of Ulster and the practi-
cal methods they have adopted for
backing up" their men folks con-
stitute at the present the most inter
esting development in the prepara-
tions that province is making resis:
the authority of the proposed Dublin
parliament. Of the 1000 women
who signed the feminine edition of the
Ulster covenant a year ago, 100000
have become contributing members of
the Ulster women's unionist associa-
ton, and in the past few months have
raised $4,000 for the Ulster defense
fund. In every town and in almost
every village sewing circles have been
formed for the. making of bandages,
pajamas, sheets, pillow slips and other
articles that would be required in war
hospitals; while members not engaged
in needle work are canvassing their
commodities for the donation of still
other articles of hospital equipment.
A large nursing and ambulance
corps has been organized along the
lines of the Red Cross under the di-
rection of the chief medical officer of
the Ulster volunteer force, Colonel
Davis, late of the Indian medical
service In Belfast alone 700 women
have passed examination in first aid
and nursing and 400 more are. under
instruction, while still others who have
volunteered for this service haye been
unable as yet, owing to lack of teach
ers, to take the required lessons. Of
these large number have enrolled
as cooks and even laundry women for
fear they may not attain proficiency
in nursing before hostilities begin. A
special detachment of nurses has been
organized by an Ulster woman Of title
among the students in Belfast univer-
sity. A hospital ship has been offered
by another Ulster woman, an English
woman sympathizer has promised to
bring over complete field hospital in
48 hours notice, and several wealthy
women of the province have agreed to
turn their residences into temporary
hospitals or convalescent homes.
A unique feature of the Ulster
women's activities has been the forma
ton of corps of signallers, telegra-
piers and postal clerks. Designed pri-
marily to maintain communication be-
tween various divisions and detach-
ments of the volunteer force in the
event of this war, this corps is now

Famous Educator on Trial

Havana, ILL.,, Feb. 23.-Convicted
of embezzlement of Peoria city school
funds aggregating nearly a million
dollars, sentenced to Joliet penitenti-
ary, paroled and induced to give up
private property in partial restitution
for his stealings, Newton G. Dough-
erty, formerly president of the ma
tional educators association, regarded
as a foremost educator in America,
went on trial here today on charge
of forgery growing out Of his at
tempts to recover lands he decided to
the Peoria board of education.
The case came up here on change
of venue from the Peoria circuit court
and is being tried before Judge Guy
Williams, the youngest circuit judge
in the state.
The record of Dougherty's petty
stealings covering period OF "
years rivals the tale of Raffles
Dougherty had been president OF the
state normal university at Normal
state superintendent of public instruc-
ton and superintendent of the Peoria
public schools, holding in the mean
time the position as head of the ma
tional educators association, later held
by Nicholas Murray Butler and other
equally famous educators. He was also
president of a Peoria bank, and this
position enabled him to pad the pay
rolls of the city schools and cash the
checks without detection. During 2t
years accountants estimated he stole
over 100000.
An obscure bank clerk gave infor-
nation in 1905 which led to Dough

WOMEN ARE AIDING
ULSTER REVOLUTION
By ED. l.. KEEN,
(London Correspondent for the Unite

(London Correspondent for the United
Press).
London, Feb. 24.-"We women are
doing all we can, in every possible
way, to help the 100000 men whom
Ulster has armed and drilled in order
to remain an integral part of the
United Kingdom. Just as the Ameri-
can civil war was fought to keep the
states together, SO we are striving
against separation"
In statement made today to the
Belfast correspondent of the United
Press, the Marchioness of London
derry, president of the Ulster Women's
unionist council, thus summed up the
feminine attitude in the North of Ire
land on the home rule question. Her
husband, who with Sir Edward Carson,
was one of the organizers of the "Ul-
ster provisional government" is presi-
dent of the mems Ulster unionist coun-
Gil.
"Such a change in the constitution
of these islands as is proposed in the
home rule BILL" said Lady London
derry, "would not be allowed to be
passed in other civilized countries un-
less by two thirds majority, or some
other definite and unquestioned ex-
preston of the popular will had been
shown in support Of the alteration.
Why, then, should this bill be snug
gled through without an appeal to the
people. 1t is curious fact that the
Radical party, which processes to be-
lieve in democracy, should decline to
consult the democracy. The question of
the separation of Ireland from Great
Britain is one that concerns Great
Britain as much as it concerns Ire
land. We owe allegiance to the same
king, and we fly the same flag as
Great Britain, and we will not allow
this crime to be perpetrated. That his
majesty's army should be sent against
the most loyal of loyal populations in
Great Britain at the bidding of the
Irish Nationalist party is unthinka-
BILE. Ulster is more determined than
she has ever been that she will not
consent to be dominated by, or even
to acknowledge in any way, a parlia-
ment and an executive in Dublin The
government seems to forget that it is
up against not merely a political or.
ganization but whole population. If
the Radical party holds to the belief
that country cannot be governed
without the consent of the governed,

berry in Virginia. Quinn was slain by
a village marshal in an Ohio city. Be-
fore his parole Dougherty turned
over to the Peoria board extensive
land holdings in Arizona, Missouri,
and Wisconsin, and suit against his
bondsmen yielded $4,000. After his
release Dougherty began suit to re-
cover the LANDS. He lost two suits and
was indicted for forgery in connec-
ton with them, on which charge he
was arraigned today.
Neither Dougherty's genius for
crime nor his courage and confidence
have failed him from the day of his
arrest in 1905 until his arraignment
