 Mrs. Quinn was seated on a low stone wall in front of her home when fired which entered her stomach. The lorry passed on without slackening. The wounded woman staggered to the porch of her home where she collapsed. A messenger was hastily summoned for a priest to administer extreme unction. While the woman lay dying another lorry passed with the policemen firing. Neighbors who gathered at the Quinn home fled to the fields in terror.
 According to word received in Dub lin from Galway, MT Quinn told the priest she saw two 1orries coming down the road. The first shot that was fired struck her.
 News of the wounding of the wo- man was communicated to the Irish office. Sir Hamar Greenwood, chief secretary for Ireland, said that the police probably fired in anticipation | of an ambuscade and that Mrs. Quinn was likely hit by stray bullet. | The priest who was called to the | Quinn home in Galway had preached 1 a strong sermon only last Sunday de ! nouncing murders by the black ano | tan police.

AGAINST BAN
 ON DANCING
(By International News Service.)

(By lntefnatlOnal NeWS ceTSICe.j New York, Nov. 5.--More resolu- tions denouncing the attitude of the Methodist Episcopal Church toward the amusement profession have just been adopted unanimously by the ex- ecutive council of the Actors Equity Whereas, Forbidding members of the Methodist Episcopal Church to dance, play cards, attend theatres, | horse races and circuses under pen alty of expulsion as at present, is prI- marily question to be fought out | by the progressive Methodists, but Whereas, By authority of the Meth | odist amusement ban these 1872 blue | laws have been utilized to keep danc- | ing teachers out of the Methodist | Church, and
 Whereas, It seems no more repre- hensible to teach the art of dancing than it is for church members them l selves to dance, which most of them Whereas, In the Actors Equity as sociation there are thousands of Christians who are professional dan cers, many of whom have been | brought up in Methodism. They are proud of their calling and resent un- fair church criticism of their voca- ton; and
 Whereas, Dancing masters are cur brothers and sisters in the amuse- ment profession; hence injustice done | to them is also resented by those on | the stage, and
 Whereas, A dancing teacher who had been a member of one Metho- | dist church in Wichita, Kan, was re- fused utilization with another because 1 of her connection with the amusc- ment business. In commenting On the treatment accorded her, the Gen. | tra1 Christian Advocate, official or gan of the Methodist Episcopal Church, editorially recently stated:
 ''The' pastor who firmly put his hand between dancing master and right and his duty. Any other ac- tion would have branded him a hire ling shepherd, who careth not for the sheep A dancing master who wanted to come into the Meth odist church and who professed nc the profession, could not break into | the church.
 Therefore, be it resolved, In the
 name of the theatrical profession, as
 well as speaking fo rthe dancine masters of the country, the Actors
 Equity association refterates it's in dignation at such pharisaic attitude on the part of any Christian denom | ination. This organization again calls publicly upon the Board of Bishops
 of the Methodist Church, annual con. ferences and next General Confer. ence to state the standpoint of mod ern Methodism toward all those ir cor corning their eligibility for mem
