IRISH RECRUITING
HITS HARD SNAG
Refusal To Let constabuIary En-
d. fist One Cause OF Trouble
.'.> In Ireland
(Asuociated preas By Federal wireless,

LONDON March 22.-The work OF
recruiting in Ireland is being attended
with some minor trouble with the rem.
'nants of the old Fenian organizations,
but more because of the lack Of facil.
ties given to the members of the
Royal Irish Constabulary to enlist
Yesterday. at Tullamore, there was a
clash between the police and the mem
bers of the Sim Fem society, the anti
lmperiallsts rioting. Three police Off
GERS were wounded.
In Dublin and other large. centers
there is dissatisfaction over the action
of the government in refusing to- mem.
hers of the Royal Irish Constabulary
facilities to enlist. There are ten thou,
sand of these policemen in Ireland.
They are men of splendid physique and
enough of them to form two battalions
of the Irish Guards are keen on enter,
ing the army. Dublin Castle, which
eoprols them. offers no objection. II
Is the Treasury which stands in the
way. o..
The policemen, if they enlisted,
wnul ID be exchanging twenty-five shill!
inps a week for a shilling a day. The
Treasury which has met this difficulty
in the case of other public servants,
and the government which has urged
on privat' employers the duty Of set
ting their men free for the army by
them all or part of their
wages, will not in the case of the Irish
police follow their own example and
pre""rt. There IL thus a deadlock. .,
John Redmond in presence of the
I ord Lieutenant and Chief Secretary at
a public meeting has condemned this
action of the Treasury. 1t is serious
to recruiting in Ireland,
since 1t is difficult to persuade people
in the country districts of the urgency
of the need for men when they see
the police keFt back, though at the
p: esent they have very little to fdo.

SAYS CONFESSION OF
 COOK WAS EXPORTED
Father of Boy Accused of Burning House Near Mt. Vernon Gives
 Version of Affair.

That his son, Troy Cook, was frightened into making false con- fession of setting fire to a tenant house belonging to Dr. T. c. Watson of Mt. Vernon several weeks ago is the statement of Cooks father, D. E. Cook, in letter to the Log Cabin Democrat. Troy, who is only 16 years old instead of 21 as reported, is not guilty of the crime, his father positively declares.
 In his letter D. E. Cook charges that Justice of the Peace H. H. Hill, Constable M. A. lobe and Dr. Watson exorted the confession from the boy by telling him they had positive evil dence of his guilt and that if he would confess he would go free, while if he did not he would be sent to the penitentiary for four or five years. Cook claims that Dr. Wat sons enmity to Cy Davidson, for mer tenant who occupied the house which was burned, was the motive in duplicating Troy Cook in the crime In his alleged confession Cook is said to have stated that Davidson gave him $10 to burn the house.
