ST. CROIX STATION.

London. Sept. 1st.--Mr. MacSweeney,
Lord Mayor OF Cork, suffered a change
for the worse last night in Brixton pri-
son in this city where he is confined.
Late morning editions of the papers
say he is sinking rapidly. Complete
numbness of the limbs has developed
and he no longer speaks through weak
ness. Lord Stamfordham, Private Sec
rotary TO the King, has replied to a letter
from Mr.. Bottomley, Mp. urging the re-
lease of Mr.. Insolvency.. He told him
that even if the King favored the release
of the Lord Mayor of Cork it could be
effected only by the Sovereign's personal
action in the face of the advice of His Min
listers Nth the ~presulnable result that
they would resign. He declared also
that there was further risk that the
country at large might regard the price
paid too high for the object obtained
and blame the King for creating a
grave political crisis at O time Of spe-
cial national stress and anxiety.

Slips to Death
OfHgh Rock
At Great Falls
Miss Rose Gillick Victim of
Accident While Posing
For Camera.

Waiting for the click of her
sweethearts camera, while she
posed on a jagged rock at Great
Falls. 100 feet above. the Potomac
River, the thin leather sole of her
shoes slipped on her stony pedestal,
and Miss Rose Gillick, a young
stenographer Of the Internal Reve-
nue. Bureau. plunged into the angry
waters OF the river below.
Her escort, James P. Bondurant,
a patient at the Walter Reed Hos
pital. looked over the rocks but
saw only the circling splash. He
scrambled to the waters edge. his
cries for assistance swallowed in
the roar of the rushing torrent.
Miss Mary Clark, of Takoma
Park, standing on the Maryland side
of the river, saw him rushing
frantically up and down the op-
posite shore, but the barrier that
lay between permitted only unin-
telligible motions.
Body Not Recovered.
Bondurant finally rushed to the
lpark neighboring the Great Falls
Inn. when he found John Meeks.
caretaker, and the two ran to the
river.
But their endeavors to locate the
body of the unfortunate girl were
in vain, and the residents of the
vicinity who came to the scene as
the news spread could do little to
help Bondurant.
Rowboats were brought up the
river from Chain Bridge, but drag
ging was impossible because of the
rocks.
Shortly before the accident oc-
CURED Bondurant was walking with
Miss Gillick, and they paused a mo-
me mt while he adjusted the camera
and his companion climbed the
rocks. When he looked up. ready to
click the camera, he saw Miss Gill
| lick slipping over the cliff.
Home i'm Newburgh, n. Y.
Miss Gillick was a pretty bru-
nette, 81 years of age, whose home
was in Newburgh, n. Y. She came
to Washington last June and Joined
the stenographic force of the Inter
nal Revenue Bureau. She lived with
Mrs. G. w. Thompson. of S31 Allison
! avenue northwest.
Her parents, Thomas and Mrs.
Catherine Gillick. two brothers,
William and Thomas. and a sister,
Miss Mary Gillick, all of Newburgh
y. V, survive her.
The harbor police could do moth
ing in the vicinity of the accident
and the only hope the police hold
of recovering the body is that il
may be swept downstream upon
! coming to the surface.
The ward master at Walter Reed
| Hospital had not been informed of
the accident until late last night
Bondurant had not returned to the
hospital at midnight.

District Fights
Tax Increases
Before Senate
Kutz and Brownlow Also
Demand Retention of
$3.50" Plan.

Increase OF l per cent in the Dis
trict tax rate and abolition of the
half and half plan of meeting Dis
trict expenses were attacked yes
terday by Commissioners c. w. Kutz
and Louis Brownlow in their tcsti-
mony7 before the subcommittee of
the Senate Appropriation Commit
tee. which is conducting a series of
hearings on the annual District ap-
preparation bill.
While neither of the commits
sioners would discuss the nature of
their testimony, it is known that
they made a strong case for reten-
tion of the half and half plan, and
contended that the proposed tax in
crease is more than is needed and
would have a serious effect on
Washington real estate values.
Opposed by Business Men.
They presented expressions of
opinion from many Washington
business men and civic organiza-
tions, which were universal in their
of the taxation and
budget features of the bill.
Commissioners Brownlow and
Kutz will resume their testimony
today. 1t is expected that the bill
will be ready to report to the SEN
ate by Friday of this week. and it
is probable that the tax and half
and-half features will come to the
Senate in a considerably modified
form.
Meets General Condemnation.
This District appropriation bill,
as reported by the House. has met
with almost universal condemna-
tion on the part of District citizens.
and many mass meetings have been
held to voice the protest of citizens
against it's more Objectionable fea-
lures. From expressions of opinion
already made by Senators it is GER
tain that the half and half plan
will not be abolished. and it is ex-
pected that the proposed District
taxation will be considerably re-
duced.

JOHNSON VOTE
MAY BRING END
TO TWO BOOMS
Primaries in Michigan
Shows Defeat of
Organizations.
PALMER SHOWING POOR
Returns Indicate Hoover
Carried State on Demo-
cratic Side.
By WILLIS J. ABBOT.

Detroit. Mich, April 6. - IL the
voters of Michigan did not put a
final end to two hitherto promising
Presidential booms by their action
in yesterdays primaries. they at
least have come very near doing so,
Republican voters gave first place
by a plurality of more than 10000
to Hiram Johnson over Leonard
Wood, who possessed the most COM
plete political organization ever
employed in a pre-convention cam
paign. Third place was given to
Herbert Hoover, who not only had
no organization. but has declared
himself not a candidate in the ordi-
nary sense of the word.
Palmer Bad Fourth.
On the Democratic side, the State
was carried by Hoover, who had
proclaimed himself a Republican,
and the candidate of the Democratic
organization. A. Mitchell Palmer
finished a bad fourth. with Bryan
and Edwards both leading him.
II Wood could do no better than
this in a State which had no IA
vorite son to oppose him, what may
be expected of him in Ohio and Illi-
nois. States that have candidates
of their own. but which the Wood
a.. a.tl. a
carry?
And IL Palmer could not carry the
primaries in a state in which he
had the organization with him and
absolutely no fight made upon him,
what are his prospects in States in
which other candidates viii be ssri
ously put forth?
Progressive Men Win.
The first and most impressive les
son of this Michigan vote is that
the people will not stand for reac-
.tionary candidates, nor will they be
captured by a barrel campaign. In
both parties the most progressive
candidate won. Wood was enor-
mously hurt by the charges of the
extravagant use of money brOdght
against him.
Palmer suffered from the general
feeling that he represented the more
conservative wing of the party. Be
yond doubt the liquor vote and the
pro- German vote, both strong in De-
troit. were cast against him. Ed
wards and Bryan were the bene-
ficiaries of this class of voters. 1t
is not improbable that the actual
vote of the Michigan delegation at
San Francisco may be cast for Pal
mer unless systematic work is done
ito compel the Democratic machine
to register the will expressed in the
primaries.
