HIS CAREER ENDS.
Terence MacSwiney's Body
Finally Laid to Rest.
Tho Disturbances Expected,
Funeral Was Quiet One.

Cork, Nov. 1.-Terence MacSwiney's
career was at an end today. His re-
mains lay in an exalted section of the
beautiful Cork cemetery. the grave
covered by masses of flowers.
The burial of the former lord mayor
of Cork, after all the threats and fears
that have been spread, took place
quietly yesterday--only the thousands
OF spectators showed the services diff
fered from the ordinary burial.
Today these crowds had melted
away. The military still kept sharp
watch against surprise attack but
much of the tension was relaxed. The
spirit of all yesterday was so plainly
for the avoidance of the disturbance
that officials were greatly relieved.
Soldiers weaved their way thru the
crowds, watching always for any sus-
picious act. When the casket finally
was borne from the cathedral. soldiers
| and police sprang stiffly to attention
until the body, resting on the shoul-
ders of six pail bearers, had passed.
Guards were strung all the way
from the cathedral to the cemetery
three miles. In addition, the mobile
forces on motorcycles and. in lorries
| patrolled the entire distance.
| The procession was held within the
quarter of a mile length as demanded
4 by the government. but there was no

streets thru which the casket passed
An archbishop and two bishops con-
Quoted the services over MacSwiney's
body. Uniforms of the Sim Fem were
excluded from the services but the
Irish volunteers acted as an honorary
guard over the casket. A squad fired
final salute over the grave after SOL
diers and police had disappeared. An
airplane flew over the procession.

Law making bodies are kept ever
busy trying to circumvent economic
law and human greed. Last winter
the New York legislature passed a law
which limited rent advances to 25 per
cent on the amount. charged the same
tenant two years previously Thus
both landlord and tenant were cared
for-the former thru beirg granted
a sufficient increase in earnings on his
property to cover heightened cost of
upkeep and opera ton, and the other
thru a guarantee that he would not be
charged more than a just advance.
But the landlord thought out a meth
cd of evading the law. He notified
his tenant to vacate sin order that ex-
tensive repairs might be made in the
property" Then, with the lessor gone,
he put in a new window, or added an
extra lock to a door, or otherwise "re-
paired" the place. and then leased it
to a newcomer at much more than the
prescribed % per cent advance in his
leasehold two years before. The legis-
lature again has come to the rescue
of the hapless tenant. A measure re-
Gently passed forbids the eviction of a
tenant willing to pay his rent. If the
lapdlord refuse to accept payment, the
money can be deposited each month
with a city court or in a bank to the
credit of the owner of the property.
It will be interesting to note how the
landlord will get around this statute,
for get around it he almost certainly
will

SKELETON IS PRODUCED
Reuben GufsllalI Skeleton Brought
Forth in King Trial.

Lyndon, Kan, Nov. 1.-The skele-
ton supposed to be that of Reuben
Gutshall. who disappeared from Maple
Hill in 1913, was introduced by the
state as evidence today. in the trial of
Rufe King, charged with the murder
of John Woody.
The skeleton included all the bones
except the skull. which Judge Heller
ruled could not be introduced in EVIL
dence at this time because the state
had not laid the proper ground work
for its Identification. This is because
Fred Banta, who 1t is claimed found
the skeleton in a woodshed in the rear
of Kings former home In Maple Hill,
and upon whose testimony the state
was relying, cannot be located.
Eugene Bourassa, who was recalled
to the witness stand yesterday. said he
could identify the skull, but Judge
Heller sustained the objection of the
defense to this because Bourassa did
not see the skull until 1t was returned
to the shed by Banta, who found it
originally and took it to authorities in
Maple Hill. This was the very point
that precipitated the big legal battle
last Wednesday. in which Judge Heller
ruled that the skeletons of Gutshall
and William Ringer might be intro
duced in evidence.
William Gutshall, a younger brother
of Reuben. was called to the witness
stand this morning ana told OF the as
appearance of his older brother. Rob
ert Pendleton. another Maple Hill man,
was also called to the stand.
1t is not probable that the Jurors
will get to vote tomorrow. Most of
them live outside Lyndon. and owing
to the condition of the roads it will be
impossible to take them all to the
polling places, it was pointed out. 1t is
probable that court will adjourn either
A1xr ~,
order that others interested IN the case
may vote. The jury will not be per-
mitted to separate until the trial is
ended

The Bourbon news. [volume] (Paris, Ky.) 1895-19??, 1920-08-10
OUR LOCAL MERCHANTS AND
CLERKS ARE COURTEOUS

Some Paris people we know, OF
nsed TO know, gave as an excuse lol
buying goods away from home, that
they preferred to go to some place
where they were not known person
ally, so that they could slip out
easily if they didn't want to make a
purchase.
Many years ago, even in Paris, as
we have noted merchants and clerks
would sometimes get very mad
If prospective customers and shop
pers didn't buy. But the modern
merchant has long ago gotten away
from that disagreeable trait. If they
can't sell an article, they are anA-
ious to be particularly ponle, 80
that the customer will at least leave
the store with good feeling and a
disposition to come again.
1t would be hard matter, accord
ing to our view, to find a city or
town in all Central Kentucky where
there is as much courtesy shown as
there is in Paris. Our merchants
and their employees take special
pride in their readiness to show
goods, and most certainly show
wonderful good nature and INFINITE
patience in dealing with the whims
of many-sided customers. They don't
want any customer to feel that he
or she must make purchase, If
they are not satisfied with the gooos
and if the prices are not right.
