THREE WANT
FRANCHISE
Peoria, Lincoln and Tulsa are all Anx-

Western Ball
League.

DIES MONIES. Iowa, Dec. 81
When Western league magnates gath
er in st. Joseph, Mo. Saturday in their
annual winter session, three towns
will most likely ask for admission to
the league.
According to Mayor Tom Fairweath-
er, owner of the local franchise, Peo-
ria, ILL.,, Lincoln, Neb. and Tulsa OKLA.
are anxious to get into the league. 1t
is likely that Tulsa will get the Hutch
inson, Kansas, franchise according to
Fairweather, but Peoria and Lincoln
may be out OF luck, unless the league
is enlarged.
In addition to working on sched-
ule, setting salary and player limit,
the magnates will elect a. president to
succeed E. w. Dickerson, now in
France.
Fairweather said Peoria. was still af
ter the Des Moines franchise. but the
team will remain here according to
the mayor.

FIFTEEN
THOUSAND PAID
William Joseph Touey, by His Next
Friend, Files Big Suit
Against the Huiskamp
Company.

About $4,000 is what Patrick
Touey, father of William Joseph
Touey, says will compensate the lat
ter for the loss of part of the first
three fingers of his right hand.
He alleges that Huiskamp Broth
ers company owned and operated the
factory and machine where the youth
lost the fingers and sues the shoe
company for the $4,000 in the dis
trict court.
The petition filed In the court
here alleges that William Joseph
Touey is less than sixteen years old
and had his fingers crushed SO as to
necessitate amputation while operat-
ing a skiving machine in the factory
on November 4. 1t is also alleged
that the boy was employed in viola
ton of the statute of Iowa and that
there was no contributory negligence
on his part.
The case is of interest especially
because it contains some elements
which the Iowa supreme court has
been constituting lately somewhat to
the surprise of the employers-such
as the actual age of the employe,
compared with the age he and his
parents certify to the employer.

IRISH QUESTION
IN SIX MONTHS
Whether It Will be Settle q

LONDON, Dec. 31.-'The coming
six months will decide whether the
Irish question will be settled peace
fully or bloodily," Edward Short,
chief secretary for Ireland, told the
United Press today.
The Dublin convention next month,
at which an attempt to form an Irish
republic may be made, is expected to
be the deciding issue.
"The Sim Feiners have an opportu-
nifty to show their capability,' Short
continued. "Sane, cool action is now
Of the most vital Importance for Ire
land. We will not permit any advo-
Gates of extreme physical force to
gain control Of the situation.
II do not consider that the large
Sim Fein vote in the recent parlia-
mentary elections show a demand for
separation from England. I believe
that from sixty to seventy percent OF
the Sinn Feiners can be nersuaded to
accept home rule.
From other authoritative sources,
the United Press learned that the Dub
lin convention undoubtedly will con-
stitute the most important event in
modern Irish history. It will be attend
ed by the Sim Feiners. It will consist
of Sim F'ein members of the parlfa-
ment and several nationalist members
and the remainder will be Sim Fem
ers specially elected for the occasion.
Well informed Irish officials say the
British government Is considering a
loan of 100000 pounds (s10.000 ,O00)
for the development IL Irish industries.
Army motor trucks viii be provided
for road transportation and naval
motor ships will be turned over to the
Irish fisheries. Extensive road build
ing will be undertaken. School teach
ers salaries will be increased. Special
provision will be made for develop
ment OF the peat and flax industries.
Sir Horace Plunkett, it is reported,
is forming a new home rule party. to
replace the nearly extinct national
lists.
Prisoners Rarricaded.
BELFAST, Ireland, Dec. 31.-Sinn
Fein prisoners here have barricaded
themselves in their wing of the jail
and declared their defiance of the
authorities, military officials report
ed today.
The prisoners are said to have
accumulated enough provisions for a
long siege. They have hoisted IN
Irish flag, improvised from a bed
coverlet, and are playing revolution
ary tunes ON instruments made from
kitchen utensils.

Disagree on Interpretation.
PARIS, Dec. 31-Paris newspa-

speech, some contending he had defi-
