Massacre i'm India
Worse Than Reported

LONDON, Dec. %. Statements in
official quarters that 500 persons were
killed and 1900 wounded in the tragedy
at Ar1ritsar, India, last April Under
estimated the casualties greatly, ac-
cording to the narrative of an Indian
lawyer, Said Hassan, printed in "Thc
Pail Mall Gazette" to-day.
The lawyer, a native Of Amritsar,
says: "People had gathered from all
over the Puniab for religious cere-
mony in the 'Gallionwalabagh.' A dais
had been erected upon which several
hundred speakers stood, surrounded
by 3 gathering Of 10000 or 10000 per-
sons The military appeared and
opened fire without warning.
Soldiers stood on the high ground
and fired on the unarmed gathering
from a distance of hundred yards
Many were trampled to death. Others
fell into an open we'll. | am sure that
General Dyer's admission OF 500 killed
and 1900 wounded is much below the
actual casualties.
For two days frantic men whose
relatives CIR friends were missing
rummaged that open graveyard among
the heaps OF dead and dying"
The lawyer expresses the opinion
that the trouble arose through tho
previous arrest of two native leaders,

declined to accept the result, and de-

4S Act to Deceive Irish

BUFFALO, Dec 22.-Eamonn de Va
era, president of the provisional Irish
Republic" looks with suspicion upon
the new Home Rule bin outlined by
Premier Lloyd George in the British
House Of Commons to-day. He ex-
poets it to turn out to be only another
attempt of British politicians to fool
tho Irish people, he said here to night
II have not seen Lloyd George s
latest plan for two parliaments IN Ire
land" he said, land before reading it
in detail ! cannot. of course, comment
upon 1t in detail
An can say is that the Irish peo-
pie have accepted and acted upon the
principle of self-determination, and
have shown that what they want is an
indepe pendent Irish republic, free from
the domination of any imperial au-
thority.
I've deny the right of any foreign
statesman to dictate to the Irish rco-
pie what form Of government they
sha'! live under. 1t is ray belief that
this new parliamentary plan, outlined
by the British Prime Minister, is moth
ing more than another attempt of Brit
lsh politinians TO fool the Irish people.

Irish question, as they call it, the Irish
people have shown them the way"

Coroner's Jury Offers
Sympathy to Savage Kin
Verdict Of skilled by Military
Escort" Is Rendered by
Official Pane in Dublin

DUBLIN, Dec. 22.-The States Attor-
torney gave details Of the attempt to
assassinate Viscount French, Lord
Lieutenant Of Ireland, when the in
quest over the body of Savage. the
young grocer's clerk who was shot and
killed while running from the scene of
the attack, was renewed here today.
The first car, carrying Viscount
French, passed quickly by the spot
from which the shots were fired, the
testimony developed, two bombs being
hurled in quick succession. Both struck
second car, which was empty, the
second bomb exploding inside the We
hicle.
Sergeant Rumble, who was member
of the escorting party, was said by the
States Attorney to have shot and
killed Savage while the latter was in
the act of throwing q bomb.
Neither of the automobiles was ar
mored, the testimony showed.
The States Attorney said Savage had
participated in the rebellion of Easter
Sunday, 1916, and that later he was re-
moved to England.
The jury rendered verdict in which
it said that Savage met his death by
bullet fred by the military escort"
A rider to the verdict expressed sym
pathy for the relatives of the dead
man.

Special Correspondence

INDIANAPOLIS, Dec. %. - Vice
President Marshall, wheis in Indianap-
oils for the holidays, reiterated to-day
that he is not candidate for any Office
and under no circumstances would he
run for United States Senator from
Indiana.
When told that there has been con-
siderable talk in this state concerning
his availability as the Democratic car
didate for President and asked about
his attitude in the matter, Mr.. Marshall
said
II am not a candidate for any of
fee. ! do not propose to enter any pri-
mary for President. But nobody knows,
least Of all myself, what course would
be pursued in the improbable event Of
factional fights and inability in the
Democratic National Convention to
make a nomination among the candi-
dates which would receive the whole
hearted support of the party"
Won't Enter Primary
Mr.. Marshall said the primary laws
of the various states had been pre-
sented to him, but he was not inter
ested in them, for he would not enter
into any preferential primary, even
with the assurance that he could get
the nomination for the Presidency
1t was recalled by Mr.. Marshall that
few weeks ago, when he was in At
lanta and it was announced there that
President Wilson had died, Mr. Mar
shall thought FOR fifteen minutes that
ne was President Of the United States
taught me that no man ought to seek
the office, and that no man ought to
take the nomination except at the I'M
perative call Of his party associates"
In regard to the talk OF his possible
candidacy for nomination for United
States Senator. NJ. Marshall said:
u have been the presiding officer Of
the Senate for seven years, and if
complste my term it will be eight
years. ll the classical language of the
street gamin. am fed up on the Sen
ate "
'It is = long time between now and
next Novenl ber,%, said Mr. Marshall,
speaking of the political situation.
Rocky Road Ahead
The road is rocky and many an ap-
pie cart will be ditched by them
In regard to the peace treaty and
the league of nations, Mr.. Marshall
said he expected early action on the
measure when the Senate reconvenes.
When he left Washington, he
thought lie saw signs Of the ultimate
striking out Of the first reservat!o on
proposed by Senator Lodge and the
toning down Of other proposed reser-
vations, so that their language will
not be d;stasteful to the Allied gov
ernments. IN Mr.. Marshall's opinion,
tAe trst reservation proposed by SoH-
ator Lodge would be an insult 10 the
Allies.

To Reclaim Mines
Enemy Experts Who Blew
Holes for Flooding Shaft
Must Point Them Out
So They Can BE Plugged

LENS. Dec. 22.--Solution of the diff
ficulties in opening up the big coal
mines of northeastern Franco must
await the coming Of German military
engineers who wrought the destcuc-
ton. This was pointed out to the cor
Respondent Of The Associated Press
here to-day in the course of a visit to
the Lens region, made as part Of a t.ip
under government auspices to permit
observation Of reconstruction accom-
plishments.
In Lens, where seventeen main shafts
and thirteen air shafts are flooded. the
task Of reclaiming the mines is said TO
be much more difficult than in the out
lying districts. where the damage is re-
ported to De largely on the surface and
to equipment.
Under ordinary circumstances the
work Of pumping. out the water would
be simple In this case, however, cor
rective operations must be deferred
until the arrival Of the German army
engineers who superintended the blow
ing Of holes in the cement shaft lin
ings of the mines, These holes, the
mining engineers say, will have to be
d scovered and plugged before pumping
begins, because the ground in this sec
! tion is extremely moist and no pump
coulu MAKE neauWay against Lne Seep-
age. Even under normal conditions,
they explain, when shafts are bein.,
sunk here it is necessary to use re-
, frigerating machinery TO freeze the
water which makes its appearance
while the cement lining is being put in.
Officlals who urge the need Of speedy
resumption of mining point to 20.
OO0O00-ton shortage in coal production
year after the armistice was signed
This, they say, is half the normal coal
production of the country.
Actual damage to mine properties
the officials declared, cannot be de-
termined until the water is removed
but they agree that normal production
cannot be attained for years The gov

LIBERAL HOSPITAL STILL
MAKING IMPROVEMENTS

The Liberal Hospital has recently
received and installed a new Victor
X-ray machine, one of the best west
of Kansas City. With the new ma
chine, castro and intestinal work is
a simple matter 1t is supplied with
special screens for stomach work and
is complete in every detail
This machine will be valuable
addition to the equipment of the hos
pital, making diagnosis simple and
positive.
The management of the hospital
give out the information that the ma
terial has been ordered for the sleep
ing parlors on the south of the build
ing, and as soon as this arrives the
work will be pushed.
The unexpected business coming
to the institution at normal time
when there is no contagion of unus-
ual unhealthy condition prompts the
management to proceed with the inn
provements anticipated
Already the fame of the hospital
is spreading, and business is coming
from a great distance, and the Dem
ocrat is of the opinion that it will be
but short time until the institution
will be running to capacity.
