her parents, six brothers and sis
ter and moved to Richmond. Her
brother, Charles Knollenberg, 43 South

all of this city. She leaves eleven
grandchildren and six great-grandchil-
dren.
Funeral arrangements will be an
nounced later. Friends may call at

Proposes Six Additional
Years of Exclusion From
Home Rule Bill for Ulster
Men.
SIR EDWARD CARSON
PREDICTS VICTORY
UniOnists Force Government
to Show Hand and Bring
About Resignation of Army
Forces.

LONDON, March 24-Unionists re-
opened their attack upon the govern
ment in the House of Commons this
afternoon forcing Secretary Seely to
promise to lay before the house to-
morrow all the documents in connec-
tion with the resignation rendered by
Gen. Hubert Cough, commander of the
third cavalry brigade in ireland on Sat
urday when hostilities in Ulster seem
ed inevitable
Premier Asquith announced that the
documents would include the written
instructions to Gen. Sir Arthur Paget
commander in chief of the royal forces
in Ireland.
The virtual suspension of military
preparations on the borders of Ulster
province by both the crown and the
anti-hOme rule forces today acted as a
reflex to concentrate the public atten-
ton upon the next move of the gov
ernment in the Irish crisis
King Georges Proposal.
According to belief prevalent in
many quarters, King George has re-
sumed a role of activity and authority
in the present situation unknown in
the limited monarchy for many de
cades. From this same source it was
reported that the king has placed the
following program before the cabinet
for the conciliation of all factions in
Ireland:
THAT Ulster counties be given an
additional six years, making twelve in
all, during which they might be ex-
cluded from the operations of the home
rule bill.
2-That all army officers who re-
signed when civil war in Ulster seem
ed inevitable be taken back without
loss of merit
eff the Orangemen continue their
protests with threats of war, home rule
is dead" declared some of the radical
newspapers.
On the other hand liberal organs
claim that the Irish policy of liberal
government has been vindicated.

fections, alleged to have been alien

rs that so? Is that SO? Well. when
did they start it," replied his indig-
nant dry opponent.
"They started it in the Garden Of
Eden, when Adam and Eve were pro-
hibited from eating an apple. Look
what the result has been, retorted
the wet, and his chagrined opponent
retired in confusion.
There were no disturbances on the
streets last night, despite the high
feeling engendered by the campaign,
and Chief Goodwin said this morning
that he did not anticipate there would
be any election troubles.
To show the intense interest being
taken all over the state in the result
Of the election here today, delegations
of both vets and drys from Logans-
port, Marion, Muncie, Newcastle and
other cities arrived last night to see
the close of the blistering hot cam
paign. which has stirred Richmond as
no other campaign in it's history.
Whatever the result of the election
in Richmond today, it will have pro-
nounced effect throughout the state.
A wet victory will be a particularly
hard blow to the Anti-Saloon League,
which has used all it big guns" in
the fight to make Richmond, a city
which has had saloons through the
century of it's existence, dry terri
tory.
S. Edgar Nicholson, secretary of the
National Anti-Saloon League: Timo-
thy Nicholson, president of the Indi-
ana Anti-Saloon League, and I. c.
Dwiggins, one of the most prominent
dry leaders in the state. have been
most prominent on the dry firing line.
They have received the active sup
port of B. B. Johnson, secretary to
Governor RalstOn; Attorney Minton.
counsel for the Indiana Anti-Saloon
League; l. f. Honeywell. one of the
most prominent evangelists in the
country, and distinguished public men
from various parts of the country.
Moral encouragement to the temper
ance cause in Richmond has been eX-
tended by the governors of several dry
states.
Notwithstanding the large majority
received by the vets five years ago,
they promptly realized that they had
the fight of their lives on their hands
and they did make a remarkably ef-
fective fight, depending solely upon
newspaper publicity and the formation
of an excellent organization.

Last night Prosecutor Will Keller
issued statement in reference to the
position he had assumed during the
wet and dry fight. just brought to a
spectacular close. His statement was
in reference to certain charges made
by l. c. Dwiggin4, campaign manager
for the drys, who asserted that the
prosecutor refused to act on certain
information pertaining to alleged ex-
penditures by the vets for the natural
ization of foreigners.
The prosecutors statement follows:
1T was not my intention to enter
into any controversy with the leaders
of either the vets or the drys concern
ing any prosecutions which might have
been suggested prior to the election,
but from this time forward l intend
to use my Office to ferret out and pros
ecute any violations of the law con-
nected with the option election.
Feeling is very high now, and some
radical charges have. been made. If
they can be substantiated l will ask
the court to call the grand jury i'm
mediately after the election fully to
Investigate alleged violations. l have
asked the leaders on both sides to re-
port all alleged violations to me-"
Wet leaders deny illegal use of mon
ey prior to the election and today,
and they further charge that one Of
the dry leaders was active in having
foreigners naturalized.
Notwithstanding the immense crowd
at the tabernacle last night, the streets
were crowded early in the evening,
and in the central business district
there was a wet and dry argument on
every street corner, in cigar stores,
pool rooms and saloons. The saloons
closed at 9 O'Clock last night and will
not reopen after the polls close this
evening.
At the corner of Eighth and Main
streets was one particularly bolster
Gus option debate in which about twen-
ty men were taking part, each trying
to raise his voice above his fellows.
This discussion attracted such a large
audience that the police finally had to
disperse the crowd. The men prompt
ly broke up into smaller groups and
the debate was continued.
On another street corner one very
enthusiastic wet pulled a decidedly
original argument in favor of the reg
ulation of the sale of liquor, which
caused a gale of laughter from his au-
dience.
"Prohibition has been failure since
the time it was started he yelled.

TARRYTOWN, N. v, March a.
Two weeks ago fire destroyed the
North Tarrytown fire house. Water
played on the blaze flooded the house
Of Charles Minnerly next door, and
box with setting hen and fifteen
eggs fIoated around the cellar.
The hen, however, stuck to the job
while the flames cracked around her.
The eggs we're due to hatch Friday,
but no chickens appeared. Minnery
spoke to some of his friends and they
told him they we're fire chickens and
if he wanted to hatch them he would
have to sound an alarm with bell.
Minnerly went to the coop and rang
an old dinner bell for fifteen minutes.
To his surprise the eggs began to
open and in less than an hour every
one of them hatched.
The chicks would not stay with the
mother as long as Minneriy rang the
bell. He solved the problem by tying
a small bell around the mothers neck.
