Saw Fathers Appeal


Miss Haitian, who was brought home
last night by her father on another
train than that taken by Eisenman,
arrested by Chief of Police Reynolds
on charge OF abduction, was fearless
but still firm in her declarations of
love for the chauffeur when she ar
rived in this city.
1t was the appeal of Mr.. Hallian to
his daughter through a newspaper Of
Saturday morning that led TO the ar
rest of the clippers by the Portland po-
lice.
After reading the message from Mr..
Haitian, Miss Hallian, against the
wishes of her sutton, rushed to the
Falmouth Hotel, where she demanded

The hotel telephone operator tele-
phoned the police, who soon picked
up the pair on Elm street as they were
sauntering along.
With an arm thrown about Eisen-
man. the beautiful girl defended her
suitcr for bringing her to Portland.

and the newspapers had kept out Of

1t was not until Mr.. Hallian had ar
rived that the girl broke down. She
had been placed in the care of the po-
lice matron. who said that a more
beautiful young woman had never en-
tered the door of the police station.
Mr.. Hallian, on arrival in the city,
rushed to the police station in taxi
and hurried through the office of the
chief of police to the room where his
daughter was.

sprang forward to greet her parent in
an all enclosing hug.

claimed the big man as he sprang for
ward. Then the girl bowed her head
on the broad shoulder of her father
and for the first time broke down and
wept. For a time she cried on her IA
theirs shoulder and then got ready
to leave for home.
To a reporter Miss Hallian told the
story of the days which have gone
since the commencement of the elope-
ment. the fears and hopes she has un-
dergone and her love for Louie Essen
man, the one-time family chauffeur.

In 1861 there were but a million

begun. For example. it was estimated
that. in 1901, there were but a little

Irish patriotism was found discour-
aged. and there is no means as eff
fcctual in destroying patriotism as to
stamp out the native tongue. Such.

been the policy of England. Hence.
to revive the use of the mother
tongue Is to revive the national spirit
and pride in Irish industries and lit
erature. This Is what the Gaelic
League aims to do.
With the exception Of Basque,
Gaelic is the most ancient language
Of Europe. It was practically the only
language spoken in ireland until
the Cromwellian settlement. There
are parts of Ireland today in which
II is the only language used by the
common people. and in County Gal
way there are nearly ten thousand
people who know no English at all.

are not dissimilar to the Greek SYM

The Gaelic League was organized in
July. 1888. by seven men who met In
Ireland for that purpose. John Nc
Neill. DIR. Douglas Hyde and Father
O'Browney were the moving spirits.
DIR. Hyde was elected president Of
the organization. At first they held
meetings and taught classes only in
Dublin. But soon they felt encour-
aged to carry their Campaign into
other parts Of Ireland. despite the
disapproval of "the upper classes"
who frowned upon the movement.
Their enthusiasm, however. could not
be crushed and the propaganda was
spread throughout all Ireland.
The fight to establish the study of
Gaelic in the public schools was a
long and severe one and was won step
by step. In 1902. for example. 1t
was taught as an extra subject in
but 235 Of the State primary schools
Of Ireland: and in 1909, in 1900 ma

thousand pupils passing examinations
in it. To accomplish this, DIR. Douglas
Hyde came to the United States six
years ago to enlist financial aid and
sympathy Of Irish-Americans. He il
really the instigator Of the Gaelic
movement in this country for
branches of the Gaelic League were
formed in nearly every city he visited.
