Dt. Patrick Henry Mccartan Escapes
From England and Reaches
Washington.

Washington, d. c., July 28.-Dr. Pat
rick Henry McCartan, of Tyrone, Ire
land, arrived in Washington today and
presented to President Wilson petit
lions from the Sim Feiners and Irish
Republicans who were imprisoned in
England for their connection with the
Dublin uprising of 1916. The petitions
were written on linen handkerchiefs
so that they might be smuggled out of
prison. The wording was artistically
done and appealed to President Will
son as the champion of the small ma
tionalities and Democracy to throw his
influence for the freedom and indie
pendence of the Irish nation. DR.. Nc
Cartan was deported to England from
Ireland by the British government and
made his escape from England to the
United States. He is noted physi.
clan and has studied in the principal
American and European universities
He has relatives in Philadelphia and
studied in that city for several years.

The Ex-czar's Poverty

Now that the ex-Czar has been de-
prived Of all the revenue from the
land belonging to the Russian Crown,
there remains to him only his strict
ly personal property. The London
Times tells us that the ex-Czar is a
poor man, but the figures given lead
US to understand that The Times uses
the term poor" in a relative and not
absolute sense:
"Mr. Titoff, the commissary appoint
ed by the Provisional Government to
take charge of the affairs of the ex-
Car and his family, has applied for
a grant to cover their immediate ex-
penses.
According to rough estimate of
their private fortunes, it appears that
Nicholas II owns not more than $780,
900 in cash and securities. His wife's
fortune amounts to about $550,OOO.
Young Elexis is much Weather, as
iIo dlIOWdICc Has U00u ACCOMMODATING.
He possesses about $2,75O,OOO. The
fortunes of his sisters are estimated
as follows: Olga, $2,65O,OOO; Tatiana,
$2,O00,000; Marie, $1,S5O,O0O; Anas-
tasia, $1,650,000.
Since 1906 the Civil List has
amounted to s8,OO0,OOO annually, but
enormous revenues were derived from
mines, forests and lands belonging to
the Emperors Cabinet. The expendi-
ture of the Court swallowed up these
vast sums . Hence, in spite of his
great possessions, the Gear appears to
be poor man, inasmuch as the real
estate belonging to the Cabinet will
become State property.
"The position of the Grand Dukes
and other members of the Romanoff
family will also have to be consid-
cred. Some of them own large
private properties. The other kins-
men had little besides an annual grant
from the revenue of the Imperial ap.
panages, which will also revert to the
State"

APPOINTED CHAIRMAN OF SHIP

APPOINTED CHAIRMAN OF SHIP
PING BOARD.
The appointment of Edward N. Hur-
ley of Chicago, ILL.,, one of the best
known Of our Catholic laymen, as the
successor Of William Denman, chair
man of the shipping board, has given
universal satisfaction throughout the
country.
Mr.. Hurley is a native of Galesburg,
ILL.,, where he was born July 81, 1864.
His first employment was as rail-
road fireman. His rise from humble
beginnings was spectacular and due to
his invention of pneumatic tool, an
instrument which revolutionized steel
construction. He failed to impress
American f1nanciers with the value of
his invention, but went to London
where he interested English capital.
Returning to Chicago he opened fac.
tory, which he later sold. In Decem-
Der, 1915, he was made chairman of
the Federal Trade Commission, pc.
sition which he held until a few
months ago. Upon his formal election
to be it's chairman, by members of the
shipping board, Mr.. Hurley said that
there are three problems that confront
the board, namely, steel, wood and la
Dor. The labor is in sight, but the
board is still seeking steel and wood,
he added.

DR.. McCartan, in an interview given
in Washington last week, said: 'If
Ireland we're republic at this time
she would be absolutely a neutral ma
ton. The Sim Feiners will not take
part in the convention that met In
Dublin. Our position is very plain.
The republicans Of Ireland, who form
a majority of the people, were invit-
ed to send delegates, but would be al
lowed only the same representation
as the southern unionists, namely, five
delegates. The reply of the Sinn Fem
ers was that they would take part in
the convention if all delegates were
elected by the people, and if England
promised to abide by the decision of
such an elected convention. England
will not trust the Irish people; hence
the republicans will ignore the packed
convention.
"Ireland has accepted literally the
message of President Wilson to the
people of Russia: No people must
be forced under sovereignty under
which they do not wish to live The
pToSlucuL Sdlu, dIlU lIclduu UOCS llOL
wish to live under the sovereignty of

"If the people of Ireland were per-
mitted to hold general election of
delegates to convention, there is not
shadow Of doubt that the convention
would be largely republican, and that
the decision of that convention would
be for the absolute separation Of Ire
land from England. Two-thirds of the
people of Ireland favor separation
from England. Moreover, l want to
disabuse Americans of the idea that
there is constant and bitter religious
friction among the people of Ireland.

OKLAHOM|ANS SHOW
LOYALTY BY PUTTING
DOWN DRAFT RIOTS.
Citizens and Not Troops Are
Bringing About Arrest
of Men Resisting
Federal Laws

Oklahoma City, Okla, August z.
Confidence that majority of the resi-
dents of central Oklahoma are loyal
to the United states and willing to do
military services despite organized re-
sistance to the draft on the part of
a few was expressed tonight by Gov.
Robert l.. Williams In commenting on
the fact that normal conditions virtu-
ally have been restored In the coun-
ties where three men have been killed
in the efforts of posses to quelI OPP
position to the draft.
I did not want to send troops in there
except as a last resort the governor
said. To let the citizens themselves put
that as whole the people were abso-
lutely loyal and thoroughly amenable to
law and order"
Fifty more draft resisters were arrested
today, inclurding two alleged leaders,
Doc" Caleb and a man named Fink
1t was announced that Roy Crane of
Oak Grove and John Barnhardt of We
woka, said to be organizers of the
Working Glass Union" were two of

volved in the disturbance, most of them
of the tenant farmer class likely will
have to face the lesser Indictment of con-

men have been taken into custody and
the problem of feeding their dependents
will demand attention in few days.

TWO BIRMINGHAM
BATTERIES CEASE
TO EXIST AS UNITS
Members of Commands Are
Reporting as Individuals
for Service Under Call
for Reserves

Montgomery, August -(Special.)-Bat-
teries and c, Alabama National Guard,
which were mustered out of the service
soon after they returned from the border
in the spring, will not again be recognized
by the federal government. but their
members will remain in the service Of
the nation and must take whatever as
signments are made by their officers.
Investigations today showed that the two
batteries have lost heir identity The
war department has given the state mill
ltary department it's reasons for declining
to keep them in the service, but the
military department has declined to make
the report public.
The batteries were in the federal serv-
ice from June until spring. Investiga-
lions were made by army officers dur
ing the time they were here and on the
border and their reports caused the war
department to furlough both to the re-
serve. By this method, the batteries lost
their identity as organizations, but all
members were kept in the service and will
be forced to complete their regular terms
of enlistment and to serve the three years
in the reserve, which means under pres
ent conditions three years active service.
REPORT WITHHELD
G. ]. Hubbard, adjutant general, has
declined to publish the report, because
of many requests which have come to
him from members of the two batteries
and former members who have since been
transferred to other units. What their
requests mean, no one who has not seen
the report knows, but indications are
that charges are made which they do
not care for the public to know.
The Age-Herald bureau informed the
Birmingham district 60 days ago that the
batteries had lost their identity, the in
formation coming from official sources.
MEMBERS REPORT
Members of the two batteries are repor
ing each day as individuals and being
mustered into the federal service. But
they will be forced to remove the hat
cords of artillery1nen and accept assign
ments in the infantry, cavalry and hos
pital corps. About N5 of the 800 reservists
have reported this afternoon A great
majority were former members of Bat
teries A and C, and others were men
of other commands, who were relea sed
when they completed their regular en-
listments. They were recalled to serve
their reserve enlistments.
While no orders have been issued for
the Alabama brigade to move to Ma
