Irish Writer Declares That the Heavy
Burden of Taxes Is Fleeing Ireland
Eon Mcneil Writes in Irish Volunteer That to Make
Ireland Pay for the War Is Sheer Robbery

The government is borrowing 420
millions to pay for another few
months fighting, and is getting ready
a new budget to raise fresh taxes.
Ireland Is already required to pay ten
pounds house to finance this war
England's war. Some people may i'm.
agine that these taxes will not be re.
Quired when the war is over. If the
Empire was to emerge from the war
with all triumphant success that was
prophesied to bulldose the leaders of
the Irish party, the added war taxes
would still be imposed until most Of
us now alive would be dead and bur-
led. We no longer read about Allies
debating terms in Berlin, and Mr..
Redmond now knows that he was hum
bugged. That means that the taxes
will have to be borne for many de.
cades. Let the beggarman carry his
bag. We never asked for this war,
and to make us pay for it is sheer
robbery. We are told about the grand
part that is being played by the Col
onies. The people of Ireland would
wait long until Mr.. Redmond, Mr. Dill
lon, and MIR. Dcvlin would stir them
up to the fact that while Ireland Is
being fleeced for the war, the money
taken from us is going in large loans
to the Colonies TO reward and encOur-
age them for their help to the Empire.
Oh! they are brave men, and out.

PRIESTS SLAYER DECLARED IN.

Mrs. Nellie Dudek of Minneapolis,
who shot and killed Rev. Father ia
jeski, pastor of St. Casmir's Catholic
church of St Paul, some weeks ago,
was declared insane by commission
of alienists who examined her in pro-
bate court III st. Paul on Friday of
last week. Mrs. Dudek explained that
voices called to her to slay the priest"
and that she felt satisfied after CON-
mitting the crime. The alienists went
into full details touching the mental
condition of the woman and after a
careful consideration of six hours de-
cided that Mrs. Dudek was mentally
irresponsible for the crime. Father
Jajeski was slain while in the Church
of st. Casmir hearing confessions. He
was formerly pastor of the Polish
Catholic church of Minneapolis and
was later removed to st. Casmirs
church in St. Paul. Mrs. Dudek was

JOS. SCOTT WINS THIRD SUIT ON
LIBEL CHARGE. -

Joseph Scott, the Los Angeles attor-
ney, has won his third libel suit against
The Los Angeles Times. He was
awarded $37,5O0 by jury in Superior
Judge Parker's court in his suit
against the Times-Mirror Publishing
Company for $6O,000 damages for al
legged libel in connection with an arti-
Gle relative to the divorce suit of Mrs.
Bessie Olive Hillman, his client,
against G. D. Hillman, Pasadena mill
lionaire. The jury assessed the actual
damages suffered by Mr.. Scott at ST.
500 and awarded $4,000 as punitive
damages.
This is the third straight victory won
by Mr.. Scott in libel suits against the
Times and brings the total in judg-
ments which he has been awarded up
to $68,5O0. 1t had been expected that
Mr.. Scott would be the victor, but
there had been a great divergence Of
opinion as to the amount of the award.
On the trial of the first suit jury
awarded Mr.. Scott 100000. A new
trial was granted and Mr.. Scott's ap-
peal from that decision is pending
before the State Supreme Court. The
trial of the second suit resulted in a
verdict of $1,000 for Mr.. Scott. He
states that the Times has paid that
judgment.
Mr.. Scott expressed his pleasure at
the outcome of the trial with the re-
turning of the verdict. "This is a
triumph for decency in the commun.
ity," he said. II am naturally very
glad, not so much for what it means
to me personally, as because of what
it means to my wife and family. 1t
should be an object lesson to Otis and
the Times that they cannot ignore
decency and fair treatment"
Mr.. Scott's three suits were based
on three separate stories which ap
peared in the Times in February, 1915
Each of these stories, he believed
was maliciously intended to convey tc
the public the false impression that
he was stirring up trouble between
the Hillmans and encouraging Mrs
Hillman to press divorce proceedings

burg, Germany, in 1858, and received
his training in Celtic in the University |

He afterwards went to England and
was professor of Celtic philology at
the University of Liverpool for twenty.
eight years. He founded the School of
Irish Learning in Dublin in 1903, and
was it's director till he resigned in
consequence of the present European
war. While there he silenced all the
anti-lrish writer's of Trinity College,
who were claiming that Ireland had
no civilization nor literature before
the Normans. He returned to Germany
in 1911, to fill the post of professor
of Celtic at the University Of Berlin.

he is on his way now from the coast

one of the great injustices we still
suffer from. especially in this coun-

ten by her enemies and been believed
wherever the English language holds

fare was best expressed by himself In
a speech in Dublin a dozen years ago,
when he said: 1T is country which
by the nature of my studies is never

occupation with history and literature
