The December record at the sher-

With three days more to go, it ap-

KILLED IN AUTO RACE
Driver and Mechanician Die at Sleeps
head Bay-Tire on Car Bursts
During Contest.

New York, May 16.-Carl Limberg,
driving a Delage car, and R. Pallctti,
his mechanician, were killed in the
running of the 150-mile Metropolitan
trophy automobile race at Sheepshead

NEARLY ALL IRISH REBEL
LEADERS ARE EXECUTED
Connolly, MacDarmad and Ceannt the
Latest Vctims-Premier AS
quith Arrives at Dublin.

Dublin, May 15.-It was officially an
nounced on Friday that all the sign
ers of the Irish republic proclamation
have been executed.
The last three, shot yesterday, were:
James Connolly, commander of rebel
army; S. MacDiarmad (McDermotD:
C. Ceannt
Those previously shot:
Peter Pearse, president of Irish re-
public; Thomas Clarke, Joseph Punk
EFT, Thomas MacDonagh
The official statement spoke only of
the shooting of Connolly and Mac
Diarmad, but the announcement that
all the signers were dead indicates
that Ceannt was a third victim of
the firing squad. Connolly was wound
ed in the fighting and after the rebels
surrender was taken to a hospital AS
soon as he had recovered he was court
martialed
The report of yesterdays executions
caused great bitterness, as it was be-
lieved that the arrival of Premier As
quith in Dublin would halt all kill
ings. Apparently the shoOtings were
with his consent, as he would be the
ranking governmental officer immedi-
ately upon his stepping on Irish soil.
Premier Asquith arrived here IN the
morning to investigate for himself con-
ditions in Ireland following the recent
revolt AS a result of his visit it is
exNCted that martial law will soon
be ended and civil administration re-
stored
The premier drove through several
streets lined by wrecked buildings and
also viewed the damage done to the
viceregal lodge.
At long conference with General
Maxwell, commander of the military
forces in Ireland, the premier received
complete official report on the course
that the rebellion had taken and the
present situation.

DEDICATE Y. M. C. A. HOTEL.
Largest Building of Its Kind Opened
at CHICAGO.

at ChiCa9o.
Chicago, May 20.-With an elaborate
series of exercises extending over
period of three days, and in which
many men prominent in religious and
philanthropic work participated, the
new Y. M c. A. hotel of this city has
been dedicated.
The building is probably the largest
of it's kind in the world. 1t occupies a
ground space of So by 166 feet, is 10
stories high and contains over 1,S0G
sleeping rooms in addition to the Of
fees, writing and recreation rooms,
dining rooms, toilet and bathrooms.
The construction of the building was
made possible by donations from a
number of leading business men of
the city, and it's cost has been above
$1,35O,00O. The intention is not to con-
duct it as a charity, but to make it
self-supporting by nominal charges to
its patrons. 1t is expected that it will
offer an attractive home to hundreds
of young men from the country visit
ing the city for a few days, or those
seeking to gain foothold in it's indus
trial or business life.
