NACSWZVEY DIES AFTER
ECLRSLVC ALL RECORDS
FOR 4 HUNGER STRIKE
GREAT BITTERNESS
AND GRIEF IN CORK
Feared Murder of Police Win BE In
creased-Hunger Strikers Well
Guarded at Cork Jail

CORK, Oct 25 ASSOCIATED Press).-
Feverish interest in possible develop
ments caused by the death of Lord May
or MacSwiney was mingled today with
grief in which his death has plunged
South Ireland. Although the people APP
peared stirred to the highest degree of
bitterness it is regarded as extremely inn
probable that there viii be an outbreak
or disorderly demonstrations in this city.
1t is expected, however, there will be a
considerable extension of guerilla war
fare against the police and military
forces which anticipating reprisals are
doubling their vigilance, especially in re
mote districts.
Cork Jail, where a number of hunger
strikers are III grave condition. Is
guarded inside and out by soldiers
equipped with machine guns. 1t is under
stood the Irish parliament had been max
ing appeals to all elements of the populds
tion to refrain from violence. This Is al
so believed to be the policy of various in
huential leaders of the Sim Fem move
ment Whether such a counsel will be
followed by the younger element or by
members of the Irish republican brother
hood, one Of the most militant of Irish
secret societies, remains to be seen.

WILLIAM MOVES
ABOUT MORE FREELY
Dutch Government Relaxing Its Restric-
tiOns - Living the Life of Dutch
Country Gentleman.

DOORN, Holland. Oct. 25-The severe
restrictions which the Dutch government
imposed on the movements of the former
German emperor at the time of the Kapp
revolution in Berlin, at the request of
the allied powers, appear to be gradually
relaxing.
William now moves about more freely,
perhaps, than at any time since he came
to Holland nearly two years ago. These
movements are, Of course, confined to the
territorial limits set by a royal decree,
including the villages of Doom and Am
erongen, but inside this territory the ex-
lie is now fulfilling his dream of living the
life of a Dutch country gentleman.
He goes frequently to Amerongen, to
visit Count Bentinck, his former host and
to chat with the notary, Schroot,, who IS
not only the former emperor's business
agent and attorney but also more or less
of personal friend.
Dutch guards escort him on these trips
but he goes whenever he likes. Doom
has lost all curiosity in the Hohenzolerns
and only the occasional tourist halts to
stare at Williams automobile as 1t passes
in the streets

CALIFORNIA VOTE ON JAPs.
VIII Pass on Law Withdrawing Leasing
Of Lands to Aliens.

SAN, FRANCISCO. Oct. 25.-The fate
of japanese farmers in California will be
decided next Tuesday, when the electorate
of this state passes on an initiative meas
ure that would amend the present alien
land law by withdrawing entirely the
three-year agricultural land leasing prlyl-
Iege from aliens who are ineligible to
American citizenship.
The measure aims also to place minor
land owning aliens under the guardian
ship of public administrator. The act
ual ownership of farm lands by aliens in
eligible to citizenship already is prohib-
tied bv the alien land law enacted by the
state legislature in 1918.
The initiative measure. its proponents
assert, will conform strictly to the letter
of the treaty between Japan and the
United States, in which certain privileges
were granted to Japanese residents. The
opponents of the proposed new law de
clare that the issue raises the question OF
an Interpretation of phraseology in the
treaty wherein it is provided that the
Japanese resident in the United States
may own or hire and occupy houses
manufactures, warehouses, shops and
premises and lease lands for residential
and commercial purposes"
1t is pointed out by persons opposed to
amending the present law that the leasing
of land for commercial purposes con-
templated the privilege of leasing agricul'
tural lands.

5000 IDLE IN BRISTOL.
New Departure Co. Alone Has Laid Of
$500 Hands

BRISTOL, Conn, Oct. %. - There
are more than 5000 persons idle in
Bristol at the present time, due to the
slowing up of local industries. and while
in some eases factories have been closed
down tight in other shops wOrkmen are
working but eight hours day. In one
shop. while there have been no lay-Offs,
notices have been posted that hereafter
those working on piece-work shall not
be paid overtime, receiving the regular
rate Of pay when they put in overtime.
Previously. these employees were paid
time and a half. but the half-time rate
has been dropped. One shop is working
three days a week, and it is expected
that others will soon follow.
Like conditions exist all over the
country. so Bristol is not alone. 1t is
expected that within a few weeks bust
ness will start to boom and that Bristol
will enjoy wave of prosperity that was
not equalled during the war boom. Over
$500 employees of the New Departure
Manufacturing company have been laid

GREAT HOUSING CONGESTION.
Half of Residents of SalOnika Obliged to
Live in Tents and Huts.

SALONIKI, Greece, Oct. 25.-Ameri-
cans who think they are suffering Sc
verely from bad housing and living condi-
tions and high rents should get a glimpse
of this congested and benighted Oriental
city with its narrow, dark streets, cob
bled pavements, tumbled down buildings,
cellar-like homes and other concomitants
of poverty. There are only enough houses
to shelter one-half the population of 49,
600. The rest of the people live in tents,
in huts, in the fields, or among the
charred ruins of their former homes
which were desolated by a great fire that
leveled the city to ashes in August, 1917.
Only the wealthiest can afford any
thing like a fully furnished house. Whole
flats or apartments are unknown: a fam
ilv must be content with a single room.
Rents have increased greatly and are
quite on a par with those prevailing in
American cities
