SINN FEINERS ARE
KEEPING YANKEE
GOLD FROM CORK
By Attack or u. S. Sailors
$4,000 a Week Is Not
Being Spent
BY Associdtcd Press

Cork. Ireland. Nov. 2.-The Sim
Fein is keeping $2,5OO a week from
the hands of the Cork merchants.
That amount was spent each week
for four months by American naval
officers and sailors. 1t ceased when
the Sim Feiners began to attack
the American bluejackets, and IL
will not be resumed until the streets
of Cork are again made safe for the
Americans. At present no naval man
below the rank OF destroyer COM
mander may visit Cork without lay
ing himself open to a general court
martial. The same rule applies to
the British naval forces.
Indignant over this loss of revenue
the tradesmen have urged Mayor
Butterfield to use his good offices to
have the ban lifted. The Mayor
is powerless in the face of the de-
cision of the American and British
naval authorities not to allow their
men to visit Cork until they are alb.
solutely certain that trouble will not
follow

BOROUGH MAY
ASK STATE AID
Council Will Take Some Ac-
ton at Meeting Next Week;
Make Inspection of Street

Council at it's meeting next week
will take some action on asking state
aid to be used in paving Front street
below the wooden blocks to the bor-
ough limits. Members of the high
way committee through the borough
secretary are taking the matter up
with Borough Solicitor Frank b..
Wickersham. Council will act on his
report at the next meeting.
The highway committee composed
of E. C. Henderson, e. F. Wagen-
bach, Ira B. Reider, and President T.
J. Nelley, with Borough Secretary
Jacob Meshey and Council Secretary
Charles P. Feidt, made an inspection
of this section of the street yesterday
afternoon and found it to be in n bad
condition. Efforts have been made
by the highway committee to keep
this street is good condition but the
heavy traffic grinds the macadam
surface into dust and committeeman
claim nothing but paving will hold.
I Two years ago this borough ask
for state aid and was informed that
there was no money available for
this purpose. At that time the bor-
ough was promised that the state
would pay one-fourth the cost the
county like amount and the bor-
ough the remainder. The state, it is
understood was to do the work.

CANDIDATES FOR
DIRECTOR ACTIVE
Public's Attention Turns To-
ward Election of New Mem
bers to School Board

Considerable attention is being
given to the councilmanic and school
board ends of the local campaign to-
day, with the result that candidates
who have up to this time been more
or less in the background, have loom
ed up strong in public notice. Friends
of W. Frank Whitman, member of the
wholesale grocery firm of Whitman
Bros, are making an exceptionally
strong fight for his election and as
the city is normally Republican, it
is conceded that he will be one of
the three directors to be selected
next Tuesday. Mr.. Whitman has sup
port also in Democratic ranks where
he is known as a man of irreproach-
able character and greatly interested
in civic betterment projects.
The other Republican candidates
are Cameron l.. Baer, a former di-
rector, head of the automatic tele-
phone company, and Harry A. Boyer.
former president of the board, county
sealer of weights and measures. Des-
the primaries due to his vote on the
High school architect question, Boy
er won out by a large majority, lead
ing all the candidates by hundreds
of votes, and his friends said to-day
that they were confident of his cleo
ton. Mr.. Baer has been doing some
personal campaigning of a quiet
character and is confident that he
will be reelected by as large a ma
jority as when he ran before.
OF the Democratic candidates un-
questionably Ed. Moeslein is the
strongest, with Charles f. limerick
probaly next, and Samuel T. Kin
singer in third place.

capitol Hill have been busy since
yesterday morning trying to find out
the effect of the taxes. Salaries ere
exempted, but the state must pay the
three-cent postage. However. there
are questions whether the Common
wealth must pay the war tax on
mileage books which are bought by
the dozen to pay travelling expenses
or OFFICIALS and attaches on public
business. Several other places where
1t was doubtful whether the tax ap-
piled were talked of and the tele-
phone to the Attorney Generals CT
lice was busy with questions.

people connected with the govern

We're made by attorneys having
claims. The legislature of 1915 made
an appropriation of 5000 to the
state workmen's insurance fund to
pay compensation where the state
was found liable, instances having
arisen where employees of the High
way and other departments were
hurt while at work This appro-
priation lapsed at the end of the
biennial appropriation period last
June and the 1917 general assembly
old not make any provision for such
claims. Persons who have secured
awards will have to wait until the
1919 legislature can provide the
money. Legislative officers say the
state administration did not ask for
any appropriation.
Chauffeur Case Appeal. = Appeal
has been taken to the Columbia
county court from the decision OF
the state compensation board in
what is known as the private chauff-
eur case. In this claim it was con-
tended by the employer that the
chauffeur, who was employed to
drive n pleasure car, should be con-
Sidered a domestic servant The
board declined to take this view.
To Get Shipbuilders. = Commits
sioner of Labor Jackson left to-day
for Philadelphia to attend the con-
