CORK IN RUINS
DUE TO REVOLT
Bishop of Cork Threatens ExcOmmun-
cation for People Taking Part
in Ambushing Militia.
by Associated Pressl

tBy Associated Press
London-British regulars stood guard
today over twisted and blackened ruins
left by the fires which Saturday night
and yesterday swept virtually un-
checked through the city of Cork, Ire
land. Charges are made that police
auxiliaries there, maddened By the
killing and wounding of comrades by
ambushed Sim Feiners on Saturday
loosed the fire demon on the city. Es-
Inmates of the loss run as high as
$15,000,000. Hours of terror were
spent by the people of Cork during
Saturday night, the widest disorder
prevailing throughout the city. 1t is
said several lives were lost, and des-
patches declare two brothers named
Delaney were called from their homes
and shot, one of them fatally. Two
districts of Cork were swept by the
flames. In the business section, along
st. Patrick's street, from Cork to
Maylor. hardly shop was left UNI
scathed This was the shopping cen
ter of Cork and in untroubled times
boosted many prosperous stores South
Of st. Patrick's street, the fire ran I'M
controlled along Winthrop street and
other narrow throughfares as far as
Old George street. Thus an area of
three blocks in this part of the town
was reduced to masses of debris. 1t
was not in this district, however, that
the loss of the fire was conferred.
Monsignor Daniel Cohalan, bishop of
Cork, is said to have announced in his
cathedral last evening his intention to
excommunicate any one participating
in further ambuscades of crown
forces in his diocese.

POLAND TO CONTROL
PORT OF DANZIG
Senator Mccormick Watches Proceed
ings of Assembly of League of
Nations This Morning.
(By Associated Pressl

Geneva Military control of Danzig
by Poland has been recommended to
the council of the League of Nations
in report from the military commits
sion. This recommendation should it
be adopted would be in line with a
request from the Polish government
some time ago, it being alleged at that
time military control of the port of
Danzig was necessary to insure the
transport of food, munitions and raw
materials to Poland. The council has
decided to refer the report, along with
suggestion by Viscount Ishii of
Japan, that a military commission
study the best means to defend the
town to the high commissioner, who
will be asked to send in a report.
Rene Viviani of France, who has been
said to be most particularly annoyed
by the declaration of the British and
French premiers to the effect that Ar
menia should not be admitted to the
league, was not present today. Com
ment on the incident continues to be
one Of the predominant features of
the meeting, the opinion being ex-
pressed that if powers desire to con-
tinue to treat such questions in the
old form of diplomatic action, they
are not ready for the League of Ma
tions. United States Senator Medill
Mccormick watched proceedings dur
ing this mornings session from the
press gallery. He had refused an in
vitation from the British delegation
to sit with the delegates. His pres
ence appeared to attract little atten-
ton. The senator followed closely the
debate on the International court pro-
ject. Senator Mccormick left for
Budapest at 1880 o'clock in the after

STEEL STEAMER
ISON THE ROCKS
Az Aasociated Pressl

Milwaukee big steel steamer
"W. Crawford" owned by the Han
nahs company, went on the rocks at
about three miles north of Milwaukee
harbor early today as a result of be-
ing caught in heavy fog. Two tugs
have been sent to her assistance to
carry to safety the crew of thirty
three. The boat has sprung a leak
but is said not to be in great danger
of sinking as long as the lake is calm.
It's danger has been increased due to
the fact that storm warnings have
been issued by the weather bureau
and unless the ship is released before
the storm breaks, it is certain that it
will be dashed to pieces against the
rocks.

Arthur DEM, % years Of age, re-
siding at 216 Sheridan road, was ar
rested just before eight o'clock Satur-
day night by Detective Charles Rock
of the police department and later In
the evening he made one of the most
unusual confessions ever made to the
police department. He admitted that
for some time he had been making
indecent advances to young girls in
Kenosha and said that in the last few
days he had made these advances to
at least six different parties of girls
Of tender age about, Kenosha.
His confession showed that he was
the man who had insulted three young
girls on Wisconsin street last Thurs
day evening, that he had repeated the
offense in the presence Of three girls
at the city hall on Saturday afternoon
just after three o'clock and that the
offense had been repeated less than
an hour later at the Northwestern
station.
Claims He Has Mania.
The man was fashionably dressed
and had good appearance. He wore
an overcoat with great seal collar
and he talked of his exploits in man
ner akin to bravado. On Sunday
morning he talked with Chief O'Hare
and other members of the force for
more than an hour. He protested that
he suffered from an uncomfortable
mania for making advances to little
E girls and declared that he could not
withstand the temptation. He said
that he was a member of an excellent
family at Ishpeming, Mich, and that
he had lived in Kenosha for the past
eleven months. He asserted that he
had come to Kenosha from Detroit in
January of this year and that he had

CASE MAY HAVE
KENOSHA ECHO
Kenoshans Interested in a
Lawsuit Settled at Stew
ems Point.
ON OVERTIME WORK

Many Kenoshans were interested in
the decision handed down at Stevens
Point recently by Circuit Judge B. B.
Park in the case Of Ward Stolberg VS..
the Four Wheel Drive Auto company
of Clinton. 1t holds that workers on
war contracts are not entitled to extra
pay for hours employed more than
eight per day. 1t is said that Keno
shans who might have been benefited
by the bill in the case the decision
had been contrary to that handed
down, have been greatly interested in
the case and have held any suits which
they might filed in allegiance to see how
the Stevens Point case was determined.
Solberg brought suit for 1910 al
legged to be due him for his services
as a mechanic employed by the com
pany in. the assembling of trucks built
for the government for war purposes.
Three hundred and ten other claims,
based on identically the same grounds
and involving an aggregate of approx
mately $4,000, are pending against the
company and WILL in effect, be determ-
ined by the final outcome of the Sol
berg case. The result will also be OBJ
served with interest by hundreds of
other manufacturing institutions and
thousands of employees throughout
the country who worked on govern
ment contracts.
Cited Eight Hour Law.
Solberg was employed on wage of
forty cents an hour, with ten hours as
the basic day, and time and one-half
for overtime. He contended that eight
hours should have been the basic day
while he was employed on government
contract work and that he was there
for entitled to time and one-half in
stead of single time for the ninth and
tenth hour of every day so spent. His
claim was for twenty cents an hour
additional for 1850 hours.
The facts were not disputed and
were stipulated by the parties and the
case was argued orally before Judge
Park at Milwaukee in September.
Decides for Defendant.
Judge Park found in favor of the
defendant, holding that the govern
ment eight hour law did not apply
to the contracts involved. The court
referred to the federal law, passed in
1912, which provides that every CON
tract to which the United States shall
be party, which may require or in
volve the employment of labor, shall
contain a provision that no laborer
shall be required to work more than
eight hours in any one day, except
contracts for such articles as may
be bought in open market.
1T is held that the contracts between
the defendant and the federal govern
ment, each and all of them, were con-
tracts such articles as may usu-
ally be bought in the open market and
that nothing in the act of 1912 ap-
plies to them," said Judge Park.
Will be Appealed.
In support of this Interpretation of
Judge Park referred to dispositions Of
the army officer who represented the
government in making the contracts,
and the opinion of department heads,
holding that the contracts were not
controlled by the act of 1912.
It is certain that an appeal will be
made in the Solberg case as it is
test action and as such of Importance
out of proportion to the monetary
claim involved.
