several cows grazing in the vicinity of

During the first few days Of his

of fruit and vegetables. After terroriz-
ing mining villages and keeping the
women and children OF the district in
abject fear the ape brought the law
down on his head, and as a result sew
eral posses were organized by county
officials to hunt him down.
This afternoon farmers living near
the abandoned pit, where the ape is
said to be hiding. reported that their
cows were being MIXED by some I'M

that eight Of the best mixers In three
herds, for the first time in many weeks
were absolutely dry when the farm

Investigation disclosed tracks OF pecu-

CORK LORD MAYOR
IS TOO WEAK FOR
F0RC|BLE FEEDING

LONDON, August 81 (by the Asso-
ciated Press).-The wife Of the lord
mayor Of Cork, Terence MacSweney,
visited her husband in Brxton prison
today, wher. he is under a sentence
of two years Imprisonment. In the
course Of an interview later she says
the lord mayor had written a letter to
Home Secretary Short Friday night
in which he declared that full re-
sponsibility for his death would rest
on the shoulders of the government.
and the government would have to
bear the consequences.
He wrote" added Mrs. MacSwe-
ney, that it would tell badly among
civilized nations that the English
government had to its charge the
death Of a second lord mayor Of Cork
in six months and that the state
ment he had made at his court-mar-
tial. that before a month he would
be out Of prison. dead or alive. still
held good. He wrote the letter with
great difficulty, and nearly tainted
twice while writing it."
Interview Of No Avail.
Replying to the request of the lord
mayors sister for an interview, the
home secretary wrote, saying: IAN
interview would serve no good purpose
It is the final decision Of his majeaty's
government. Mr.. MacSweney will not
be released because he refuses to
take food. Owing to the condition
of his health, Mr.. MacSweney can
not be fed forcibly. For any conse-
quences which may ensue from his re-
fusal to take food he alone is respon-
sible." y -- .-.
Archbishop Mannix and the bishops
Of killaloe and Ballarat have made

Ireland, as they did with Russia, and

have placed over US calculate that the
death of the lord mayor of Cork will
lead to an uprising which can be sup
pressed only by wholesale slaughter.
The appeal also declares that Home
Secretary Short will be held per-
sonally responsible if the death OF
the lord mayor ensues. The feeling
in Ireland is intense over the treat

LITTLE HOPE HELD
OF MORE BUILDING
WHEN coming ENDS.
Realtor Is Certain Firms Are
Not Awaiting Final
Regulations.

Building operations in the District
will not pick up materially next
month as a result of the completion
of the coming of the city on Septem-
Der l, in the opinion of persons IA
miliar with the situation.
Some homeseekers have gained the
impression that builders hesitated to
undertake projects this summer be-
cause of uncertainty as to whether
certain streets would be designated
residential or commercial under the
coming law.
b. F. Saul. a. real estate dealer, who
represented one of the trade bodies
at the zone hearings recently, said
last night he did not believe there
would be any noticeable increase in
building activity Immediately after
the coming commission has made pub
lie final maps showing the residential.
commercial and industrial sections of
the city.
Doubt as to the final announcements
of the coming commission is having
little effect on the building situation.
in Mr.. Sauls opinion. He said he
has not heard of a single case IN
mission o-announce its findings be-
fore building.
kutz Holds Same Vfewx.
Col Charles w. Kutz, chairman of
the commission, voiced the same
views. Col Kutz said he thinks 9TH
er questions, such as high prices and
the difficulty of getting materials, are
largely responsible for the slump in
home-building.
Chairman Kutz said the commission
is making, marked progress in the
jections that were raised to the
height, area and use districts as
tentatively planned. 1t is necessary
for the commission to meet daily TO
pass upon these protests, because the
coming law must go into effect on
September l, by direction of Con-
gress.
Harland Bartholomew, the city plan
ming expert from ST. Louis, is in
Washington assisting the commission
in the final stages Of its work
Although the people of each neigh
borhood naturally are eager to know
what height, area and use restrictions
are to be applied to their respective,
sections. there are number of broad
questions to be decided by the COM
mission in which the city as a whole
is interested.
Among these is the question of
whether the commission will grant
the request of some of the civic or
ganizations for more Industrial
space. Representatives Of the rail-
roads and business interests urged
that more property abutting on the
railroad tracks be designated for in
dustry.
Similar request was made for the
river front above Aqueduct bridge and
in the southeast. Residents of the
Conduit road section and also of Ana
costa objected to extending the in
dustrial zones beyond the limits fixed
in the tentative maps.
Another question in which the en-
tire city is interested is whether the
commission will grant the request of
the business men for retention of the
present height limit of 100 feet in
the downtown section. In its tentative
plan the commission reduced this
limit to 10 feet.

picked up this week in the Hudson

living for some time with man on

This man, according to the letter. was

LONDON, August 21.-A general
uprising of Arabs in Mesopotamia
against British troops OCCUPYING that
country was feared in London today.
The Evening News says a new cam
paign seems to be in preparation to
check the natives. The government
has recalled all officers of the Mesopo-
tamian and Indian forces who are on
leave and has appealed to demobolized
officers to join the army at once for
service in "expeditionary forces"
Paris takes serious view of the
situation, believing that important
military Efforts are called for to meet
the situation.
Practically the whole of the British
railway system in Mesopotamia is
crippled as a result of guerrilla warfare
which is being carried on at various
points by the Arabs. Trouble which
has been sporadic since March seems
likely to assume proportions demand

over which the league of nations gave

measures for the defense of that city

quarters that the government is hard
~ likely to undertake a fresh cam
paign on the scale demanded for COM
plete ,subjugation of the Arabs.
The question Of labor's attitude to-
ward such a campaign is to be con-
sidered and labor leaders today said
that the British workers would solidly
oppose such a move. Whether the
council of action" would go SO far
as to order strike against the new
MeSopotamian campaign cannot be
foretold, but such a possibility Is said
to be far from unlikely.
1t is believed by many, therefore,
that the whole affair will develop
into a war furry, only to be dropped
Today's editorials show the tenor Of
this country's feeling on the subject.
The Daily Express says:
THE decision to hold Mesopotamia
with an immense. growing garrison
is obviously wrong. Haven't the min
listers the moral courage to admit It
and clear out of that ill-omened coun-
try once and for alp"

prevent the election of two wings to the

that Tennessee was without representa-
