counties are about over the top in the
drive. The bankers Of the state, all of
whom believe in the future of the boys
and girls, are taking the lead in the
drive for funds, but business men and

freely to the cause and the agricul-

flies. The other building now under

be of permanent construction. They
are designed for use exclusively by the

ed this fall will cost approximately
$4,000 when furnished, and to get the

lord MAYOR
| SLOWLY SINKING
Death Believed To Be
Only Few Hours
Away

LONDON, Sept. difference Mac
Swiney, the hunger striking lord
mayor of Cork, has just been de-
scribed as much worse and in very
great pain He has completed his
thirty-first day without food.
Twenty-four hours ago the lord
mayor was seized with dizzy spells
which were indicative of the final
dissolution of his mind. This condi-
tion had been cleared by a measur-
ably amount of rest during the night.
The lord mayor suffers on oc-
casions with a slight temperature,
but these conditions vanish quickly.
His respiration is regular but not
deep. His pulse is so weak that it is
barely discernable.
No food is being given the lord
mayor, either openly or surreptit-
iously. This assurance was given
Universal Service today by members
Of the family and by attendants at
his bedside 1t is in contradiction of
the food of rumors that the prisoner
is being fed without his knowledge.
Arthus O'Brien who has been at
his bedside frequently today de-
clared "the prison doctor has re-
peatedly given positive assurance
that nothing but water goes to the
mayors lips. This water is not
tempered with or added to in any
way. We have discussed the matter
with eminent medical men, but all
declare that knowledge of the sub
iect of fasting is so extremely limited
that it is not possible to say what
period without food would normally
elapse before death. With the fast
of the lord mayor extending more
than thirty days it is natural that
gossip should insist that some form
of secret feeding is going Oh. The
family, however, is satisfied that
these reports are absolutely base
less.'
The lord mayors sister, Mary, to-
day attributed the continued life of
her brother to the power Of mind
over the matter"
Mrs. Frances Sheehy-Skeffington,
who addressed two big release
demonstrations, was admitted to the
prison today but was not permitted
to speak to the mayor. This was to
prevent exciting him. A party of
friends from Ireland were also ad-
mitted, but not permitted to speak.
J. L. Garvin, personal friend of
Premier Lloyd George and editor Of
The Observer today printed under
two column head and as the most
conspicuous article of the publication,
an appeal for the release of the lord
mayor. at.s.ae
In it he deplores that premier
Lloyd George has shown none of his
usual discerning resourceful genius
and daring, the quickness to see a
real chance and the courage to go
the limit in concessions"
