more in Topeka Tuesday, 200 prison

io HHrl Shells Upon Irish II Will
iary Unable to Cope with
the Situation.

London, April 27.-Ireland is in a
blaze of rebellion.
That much is certain from official
admls :lons in both houses of parlia-
mont today.
Here and there the blaze may be
partially snothered, or not yet ma
tured but in Dublin and in the west
it constitutes what Premier Asuuith
characterized in the house OF com
mons today as "a conflagratior."
Martial law has been proclaimed
all over the country, and Major Cen
eral Sir John Maxwell, lately in com
mand of the British forces in Egypt
left for Ireland this afternoon, to sup
press the rebellion.
Dublin itself seems. from the gov
ernment's admission, to be in state
resembling that which prevailed in
Mexico City during the last days Of
Madero. AS far as conclusions may
be drawn from the speech of the
Marquis Of ansdowne today. in the
house of lords, the postofice is prob
ably still in the hands OF the insurg
CntS.
have their guns trained on the city,
but the authorities are hopeful the
military may be able to restore order
without the horrors of a naval bonn
bardment. What horrors in the way
of street and house to house fighting
may be going on from hour to hour,
can only be cOnjectured. The rebels
are evidently still in possession OF
the telegraph lines.
Postpone Easement Trial.
Events in Ireland are concentrat-
ing public attention on Sir Roger
Easement. Owing to the present state
of feeling concerning him, it is
thought that the government may
postpone his trial until some prog
ress has been made toward pacifying
the country.
In the house Of commons, Sir Hen
ry Dalzell moved that the house sit
Oh Monday to discuss the Dublin out
break. Premier Asquith said in re1.ty
that debate on the subject while the
conflagration was raging would only
be mischicvous. Mr.. AsQuith went on
to admit that street fighting was in
progress and that the rebels CON-
tILuc " HUN lllS puDllC Dul1ulu6o.
A searching investigation into the
cause of the outbreak and the re-
sponsibility for it was promised the
house of commons by the premier.
Replying to question whether the
government had been warned of a
dangerous growth of sedition, Pre-
mier Asquith said:
"The first and paramount duty Of
the government is to restore order
and to stamp out rebellion with all
possible vigor and promptitude. That
we are doing.
Behind that there is undoubtedly
an obligation which rests upon the
government of making searching in
vestigation into causes of and the re-
sponsibility for these events. That
obligation we fully recognize and in
tend to discharge"

TOEARTHH HERE
Tramar Santa, Italian, Will
Face Criminal Charge
In Auburn, N. Y.
TO MARRY
VICTIM-A CRIPPLE
Apparently Afraid to Go
Back to New York
Refers to ''Trick"

From Auburn, N. Y, to Pensacola,
Fla, via Rochester, Buffalo and
Syracuse, N. Y; Detroit, Mich, and
Chicago, ILL.,, is a long road, but it
is shortened by revenge.
So thought Rosario Messina, an
Italian, aged %, who reached here
Saturday afternoon at o'clock, and
found the man he was after-anoth-
er Italian named Tramar Santa, aged
Is years. Santa was in a small
boat, and when he recognized Mes
sina, the hottest part of the chase
was on. Santa leaped ashore and
ran, ran, ran. Messina caught him
at Zarragossa and Baylen, and if
Officer Clarke hadn't come to the res
cue there is no telling what would
have happened.
In the Office of Chief Sanders last
night Messina told a story, which
was almost beyond belief. He claim
ed that he had been trailing Santa
for twelve days. He accuses Santa
of committing a criminal assault
upon a ten-year-old girl, his niece,
and a cripple.
When accused Of the act, Messina
claimed, Santa stole $55 from his
father and lit out.
In the police chiefs Office last
night Santa and Messina were
brought face to face, and Fiore Cam
podonico, clerk at the store of Stagno
Brothers, GIT South Palafox street,
acted as interpreter.
Santa admitted taking the money,
because, he said, he wanted to get
out Of Auburn. At first denying the
accusation, he later admitted, in the
presence of Chief Sanders, Mr.. Cam
podonico, a Journal representative,
Captain Gilmore, and Special Officer
Harrington, his guilt of the criminal
charge, but that he was not alone
In its commission, and accused the
man who had trailed him a thousand
miles.
Messina then exhibited a letter
from the father of the run-to-earth
victim, stating that if Santa came
back it, would be all right, and that
the girl was to be sent to college,
/ given an education, and in time they
would be married. But Santa, smil-
ing, quickly shook his head, indicat-
"g that the letter did not appeal to
him. Asked if he was afraid to
trust his own people, Santa said,
THAT is only trick to get me back"
He said very earnestly that he would
not go back unless he had to.
The Auburn police have been mott
/ fed.

Mayor Hinrichs Was So Ad-
vised Saturday In Tele-
gram from Governor
FUNDS EXPENDED
WHERE NECESSARY
Mayor Will Take Matter Up
With Committees
During the Week

In a telegram from Governor Park
Trammell Saturday, Mayor Hinrichs
was informed that a portion of the
appropriation for the relief of flood
sufferers was now available, the
money to be expended through the
United States war department.
Mayor Hinrichs Immediately wired
the governor that he would ascer-
tain where relief was needed, and
recommend action in such needed
channels.
Discussing the subject, the mayor
stated that, so far as he knew, there
were few if any cases, reported of
6cially to him where the government
relief could be legally applied. Re-
quests for the city to repair dam
age done by the storm had been nu-
merous, but very few cases of actual
want had been received by the city
He recalled one or two cases which
he thought should have help, and
said that they would probably be
among those recommended by the To-
cal relief committee, to be named if
deemed necessary.
It was understood that portion
of the govern. nt's appropriation of
$4,000 was for several southern
states, including Florida. The relief
fund, it was understood, would pro-
vide employment to those thrown
out of work, and upon whose labor
dependent relatives were suffering by
reason of the loss of employment.
The governors telegram was as
follows:
Telegram From Governor.

the secretary of war at Washington

gineering Office at Montgomery had

tion toward Organization of suitable

your county, and advise the United
States engineers at Montgomery.
