TAFT WOULDN'T
TRUST LEAGUES
FOES OVERNIGHT
Denies Contention Constitution
Stands in Way of Worlds
Peace

san Francisco, Feb 20.--"The gentle.
men in the Senate who are setting out
to defeat this league of nations are those
] would not trust over night" william
Howard Taft said at luncheon given
in his honor by civic organizations as
part OF the program of the Pacific Coast
Congress of the League to Enforce
Peace.
They are citing the Constitution as
an argument against IT," continued Mr..
Taft. Il revere and worship that great
instrument, and II is a new story TO me
If the Constitution prevents this people
from playing its part in bringing peace
and order and happiness to ourselves
and the other peoples of the world.
This is not a political question, God
forbid. am glad President Wilson
went to Europe, because he went bearing
a promise of league of nations
The application at this time of the
doctrine Of avoiding entangling alliances
is reactlonary to the extent of delaying
world peace 100 years The question at
this time is whether the whole great plan
of the league of nations is to be defeated
because we can't get n two-thirds ma
jority of our Senate for its ratification.

IRELAND'S CAUSE IS
 PLEADED AT MEETING
Open Air Gathering at Play
 ground Opens Big Drive

To open their campaign for $5,OO0 to be used by the national committee for Irish Freedom, the local branch of the F. l. F. held Q mass meeting at St. Mary'S playground yesterday afternoon. The meeting was well at tended and stirring addresses were given by Prof T. P. Lonergan of Fordham university, Rev. John J. Fitzgerald, Mayor George A. Quigley, and Rev. John T. Winters.
 The meeting opened wit l. the sing ing of patriotic and Irish songs, and closed with the singing of America. Rev. John T. Winters, as chairman, outlined plans for the campaign and asked that all contribute as generous ly as possible. He asked that the team captains and their lieutenants con- duct vigorous drive and guaranteed them success.
 Praises Irish Volunteers. Professor Lonergan said that the patriotism of the Irish people has been misrepresented, merely for the sake of England. He claimed that in the great World war the Irish fur nished 3OO,OOO volunteers from population of 4 1000, ,O0O. If the Unit ed States furnished as many troops
 
 ton, which was given at 100, 900, 900, it would have had 7,500,0OO troops. The spirit which moved the Irishmen in the Easter week revolution was analysed by the speaker as not one whit different from that spirit which stirred the colonists in this country in 1776.
 America has paid it's debt to France for the patriotic service rendered in the war, but it is still indebted to Ireland for the part the sons of Erin played in several wars, according to the speaker.
 Professor Lcnergan spoke of econo- mic conditions in Ireland. From Ire land the British government takes O,0O0,00 in taxes every year. That was the amount last year, and the amount paid in improvements in the country amounted to less than half, or 65,000, ,0O0. to be exact. Ireland is country of large mineral resources, but they remain undeVelOped because of British control, he claimed. There are vast coal mines, yet the people of the country, who can afford to have coal, have to buy the product, which is imported from England. Lead and other valuable minerals are there to be mined. A great fight against the admission of Henry Ford and his in- dustry to Ireland was made by parlia- ment, said the speaker. He said the project of Ford to spend $2,0OO,000 on

a plant, guaranteeing the employees wage of 25 cents an hour, would be a great boon for the country. If a bridge is to be built in any part of lreland, permission n.Ust first be ob- talned from parliament. It was just as II New Britain wanted to make an improvement and had to go to Wash lngton for authority, Professor Loner- gan asserted.
 Ireland has wonderful harborS but, by British control, they are little used. The harbor of Galway is ample in pro- portions to ride as many ships at an chor as in the harbor of Liverpool There are fourteen large ports, any one and all equal to the ports of Eng land. The country, however, is not permitted to make any direct export. Everything must pass through Eng fish ports. That applies even to farm produce.
 Wants On Autonomy.
 The people of Ireland want their own autonomy. That includes Prot estant and Catholics alike. The speak CT said that when he heard self-deter- imitation for Ireland advocated the faces of Irish people fairly beemed with anticipation of the happiness. There are as many Protestant Sin Feiner5 as there are Catholics. Ire land is twice as large terrltOrally as Switzerand and three times as large as Belgium.
 Mayor QuiGIey spoke briefly and in the course of his remarks said that Ireland's claim for independence is based on the prir ciple for which this country went into the World war, and on that stand, this country should support the Irish cause.
 Rev. J. J. Fitzgerald spoke of the part the Irish have taken in Am erican history. He repeated George Wash ington Curtis statement ancnt the debt this country owes to Ireland Mir. Fitzgerald mentioned the men of Irish blood who in civil and military life have been most faithful and loyal in the upbuilding of the country.

Mary Archer, the daughter, was the was not ended at the noon recess. The daughter said that she knew her mother was q drug addict since she, the daughter, was thirteen years old. Her mother usually took six tablets each morning and more tablets four time a day. Her mother acted peculiarly at time. She was liberal with money and constantly gave away generously of cash and articles. A coIored boy beat the rugs and charged three dollars, but Mrs. Gilligan gave him ten dollars, telling him to buy a wedding present. Mary Archer said that before her mother married Gilli- gan she spent S1,5G0 on repairs in Gilligan house which was close by. Witness remonstrated. asking what will become of us?'' Her mother re- piled:
 God will take care of us." At an other time she went with her mother on a steamer on which a man died. Her mother gave the wife of the man slO, and insisted on going to the home of the man and attending a church fu- neral. In the church her mother ere ated a scene and was carried out screaming. Another time Dr. King of Windsor advised that she put her mother in a sanitarlum. When MT. Gilligan'S estate was settled his folks made trouble and a lawyer was need ed. Her mother got practically noth- ing and had several bills to settle. Her mother owed so many bills that Deputy Sheriff Welsh tried to attach when he came to arrest her mother,
 Former Town Clerk George R. Maud was called but was questioned little as he expressed an opinion that Mrs. Gililgan was sane. Miss Catherine Duggan. a sister, was cross -examine ed on her testimony of yesterday.
