ASHE IS SENTENCED
 TO LIFE IN PRISON
Noted Professor of Gaelic, Connected With Revolt, Has Sister
 in This City.

Thomas Ashe, we'll known to local visits in this city, and who was re- gently connected with the short lived revolution in Ireland, will spend the remainder of his days behind prison walls according to the edict of the English courts, which today com muted his sentence of death to life imprisonment.
 While travelling through Connec- ticut several years ago, Mr. Ashe made his home here with his sister, Mrs. R. c. Busch of 64 Church street. He was learned student in the Gaelic language and it was to further this language that he travelled eXten- sively through this country.
 MT AShe first arrived on these shores on 1914 as a delegate of the Gaelic league, serving in the capacity of secretary to Dr. Douglas Hyde. He has delivered lectures in Boston, Philadelphia and New York in the interests of the league.
 Like Pearse, McDOnagh and other Irish patriots who recently laid down their lives for Ireland in it's fight for independence, MT. Ashc was one of it's most ardent supporters. In his proficiency in the Gaelic language he worked hand in hand with the la mented McDonagh in translat1ons from the Gaelic, and in every man. rer possible, he urged the young Irishman to return to the knowledge of the language of their forefathers.
 MT. Ashe was a lover of athletics. While in this country he took an active interest in baseball, becoming an ar dent fan. In his native land, he was headmaster of the Wexford school for Rows where he encouraged athletics among his pupils.
 Local Irishmen deeply mourn the sad fate that has Overtaken MT. AShe. In doing this they fully realize the loss of one who by every act was lOy- al to the cause of Ireland, the land he loved so dearly.

Will Await Action By McXicans.

El Paso, Tex. May 12.-Acting no longer as diplomatic agents, General Hugh l.. Scott. chief of staff of the United States army, and General Fred erick Funston. commanding the south ern depart5n ent, expect to leave today or tonight for their headquarters General Scott expects to go to Wash ington without delay and General Funston to San Antonio to direct the mobilization of militia and regular troops that have been ordered to the border.
 By the transfer of the questions they have been debating for two weeks with General Obregon, Mexican minis ter of war, to diplomatic channels, General Scott and General Funston now are concerned only with the mili- tary aspect of the situation. General Funston was in communication today with General Pershing and Col. Fred erick w. Sibley, the latter command ing the forces near Boquillas, but it was understood that neither the heavy column in Chihuahua nor the small force stretched across the border into Coahuila would assume aggressive at titudes at present.
 Unless action is forced by the Mex jeans the American army probably will make no forward move while negotia- tions between Washington and MeXi- co City are being conducted. Active preparations along the Ar1zOna-NeW Mexico-Texas border will be made, however. and General Funston expects to strengthen all points that might be objectives of raiding parties. The fresh regular troops will be dlstrlbut- ed along the border almost immediate ly after their arrival at their tempor- ary stations but some time will pass before the militia will be utilized. The guardsmen from the three states are being mobilized at Douglas, Columbus and San Antonio, where they will be mustered into service and drilled.

following in its issue OF No

Colored churchmen.
The splendid tribute paid
the men from both Colored

ed how highly they are es-

"White business and pro-

showed conclusively that the
color line has no place in their
church when they selected a
Colored man in the person OF
Major Samuel B. Hart, OF the

their company in the parade.
That the action OF these
white men met with entire ap

shown by the tremendous ap-

The segregation ordinance
at St. Louis is as insulting to
white persons as it is to the
Negroes, for no one has a
right to say by law. or other
wise where one shall live.
Luckily for those whose rights
have been affected by said law
they have redress in the
courts. l find that even the
Supreme courts of North Car
olina and Georgia have de-
clared against that kind of
infamous ordinances in the
following language by Chief
Justice Clark North Carolina.

dermen is authorized to make
this restriction, bare majori-
tv of the board could. if they

of Irish descent should dwell

mated for them be the arbi-
trary judgment and permis-

could apply the restriction as
we'll to business occupations
as to residences and could al
SO prescribe the localities al
lotted to each class of people
without reference to whether
the majority already therein
is of the prescribed race, ma

Now, St. Louis is long dis

it is near enough for prophet
ic proposes. l am not going
to prophecy, | am going to
declare that the same spirit Of
cast and segregation is now in
Denver 1t is only smould-
ering, it is likely to break out
at any time as it did in the
case Of Dr.. McClain. Daily
you see manifestations of it
when you desire to rent or
buy house, also when white
persons want to rent a house
the question is invariably ask
-d-who lives in the neigh
borhood? That kind of dis
crimina alton has been carried
on to the extent in this city,
that it is difficult for Negroes
to rent or buy decent houses
in which to live.
