Much Suffering Reported.
Fourteen special policemen were

of Berlin. it was learned today. They
attempted to disperSe a meeting OF
radical workmen.
Much suffering was reported in
north Berlin. which has been cut off
completely from the rest of the city.
This district is one of the strongholds
of the radicals who adopted military
tactics to guard their positions. They
dug trenches, mounted machine guns
and erected barbados. The workmen
were reported all heavily armed.
The Independent Socialists. it was
learned, were responsible for President
Ebert's refusal to accept the resigna-
ton of Defense Minister Noske. They
held that, for Noske to retire at this
time would be too great an indication
of weakness on the part of the gov
eminent.
Martial Law in Leipsic.
Government officials said that mar
tial law has been proclaimed in Leip-
sic where troops occupied the city
after violent fighting with the radicals.
Hundreds of persons were reported
killed Some estimates placed the
dead in the thousands. Officials said
an accurate estimate was impossible.
Regular troops came to the aid OF
volunteers and enabled the govern

Radical workers were reported still

'END OF THE RAINBOW"
Miss Eva Corning Tells OF Unhappy
Little Girls Who Have Come
Under Her Observation.

Stories Of unhappy little girls are
the daily lot Of Miss Eva Corning. pro-
tales of children who left their homes
seeking the END of the rainbow. The
stories were written by Miss Corning.
: Rosie, sI2 years old, was tired of
home ties because she said her par
ents did not love her. One night she
packed her grip with all her belong
ings and about the midnight hour
when the household was wrapped in
slumber. she slipped down the stairs
and out of the house.
She had written letter to relatives
in a distant state asking them to send
her mony by special delivery and she
thought she could stay around and
watch the postoffice for her special
her carrying the heavy grip and that
she was fearful and unhappy asked
her of her troubles and sent the LITTLE
girl to the Y. w. c. A. 1 was called
to take charge of the little girl.
The troubles. of the little girl were
taken up with her parents and a pro-
gram arranged for her happiness and
care. u
Mary was II years old and her par
entS could not manage her. She was
left at the detention home for a while
and then allowed to go home to try
again"
A few weeks later, just in the dusk
of the evening a rap was heard on the
door of the detention home. When
the matron opened the door. there
stood little Mary with triumphant
smile on her face. She had escaped
from her home and ran for the de-
tention home as fast as her little feet
would carry her and all the police in
Topeka could not find her. Now she
has a new home and is very; ha ppy
and is said by those who know her to
be a very dear little girl. Z
Lorraine. IA years old, lived in atwest-
ern village. Her mother is dead.a Her
father remarked and has a family by
his second wife. He believed Lorraine
old enough to shift for herself. So
among strangers she was sent to make
her own way. Washing dishes. sweep
ing and being all around handy maid
did not appeal to her taste, So she
gathered together her small earnings
and, slipping out into the darkness of
the night, boarded a, train for Topeka.
where she found loving relatives to
take her in. She. appealed to them to
prevent her from being taken back to
her fathers home. where she said she
had often found the door locked
against her and had been forced to
sleep in the hay in the barn. Kind
friends brought her to the juvenile
court for protection. Arrangements
were made for Lorraine to live with rel
atives of her choice and her father
was required to pay to the court sum
of money for Lorane's education and
care. I recently received this letter
from the girl:

Murder of Irish Mayor Rouses
Entire Island.
Motive for Crime Continues To
Be Deep Mystery.
PAPERS DENOUKCE FRENCH
Lord Governor Accused of Re.
spOnsibiIity for Outrages.
Must Now RecOnquer Ireland by
Force, Says Post.

London. March p. - Dispatches
from Ireland show the murder of
Thomas Mac Curtain. lord mayor of
Cork, to have produced an intense il
subdued. sensation thruout ireland.
This tragedy. says the London Times
correspondent in Dublin. closed one of
the blacklist weeks since the rebellion
in 1916. He gives a long list of out
RACES in various parts of the island,
including five murders OF policemen
and others and an attempt to kill Pro-
feEsor Stockley of Cork.
The motive of the murder of the
lord mayor continues as mysterious as
ever. No arrests have been reported.
nor, so far as known, have any clues
to the perpetrators been obtained
Among the theories advanced is one
that Mac Curtain was murdered as a
warning to others. because he recently
had the courage to publicly deprecate
an attempt 10 murder a policeman in
Cork.
Charge Murder Societies.
Newspapers, while unreservedly con-
demning the crime. maintain it does
not differ from those which long have
terrorized Ireland. 1t is declared that
Ireland for the moment is largely un-
der the domination of secret societies
the members of which are sworn to
kill those whom they believe to stand
in their way. but VINO the cOnSplTd-
tors are puzzles the police as much as
the public.
It remarked as phenomenon that
where there are murder societies
members after a while begin to be
suspected of numbering each other.
Existence of these supposed societies
Is declared possible owing to the
moral cowardice of tire Irish public"
The crimes the societies commit are
repugnant to the better sort of Sim
Feiners. who, however. keep silence,
fearing the consequences if they con-
denim assassinations. the papers say.
Denounce Home Rule.
Even newspapers which support
home rule while condemning what
they regard as the present evil sys-
tenn OF Irish government, also de-
nounce Irishmen themselves for con-
doning methods which, they say. are
fast establishing a condition of an
archy and terrorism, under which their
own leaders may soon be powerless to
deliver them.

again attacks the government today

James Ian MACPHERSON, saying.
They are bringing about the
hideous necessity of reconquering Ire
land by force of arms and civil

SUITED WIFE'S CASE
This Is What Railroad Man Saws
Of TanIac.
Digestion Made Perfect She
Gains Twelve Pounds.

THE very first bottle of Tanlac my
wife took did her more good than
other treatments and medicines that
cost hundreds of dollars" was the
truly remarkable statement made by
L. c. Hume, 2024 Lawn avenue, KAN
sas City. Mo-. locomotive fireman on
the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy
Railroad. while telling OF his wifes
experience with Tanlac in the Owl
drug store.
Although my wife had tried most
everything nothing seemed to do her
any good. and she had reached the
point where she Just had to have
something to restore her strength or
give up entirely and take to her bed.
AS this was her condition when she
began taking Taniac you can imagine
our surprise and pleasure when after
taking only five bottles of Tanlac she
has gained twelve pounds in weight
and is enjoying as good health or bet
ter as she did before her troubles
started four years ago. Her stomach
had been all out of order for all these
years. she had no appetite and al
though she ate very little her food
soured and caused her great distress.
Her nervous system seemed to be shat
tered, and her rest was so broken at
night she could get but little sleep.
She suffered with constipation. had Sc
we're headaches nearly all the time.
and often had such dizzy spells it was
all she could do to keep from falling.
She also had such intense pains across
the small of her back that it was diff
ficu 1t for her to stoop over and
straighten up. and finally got in such
bad condition it was simply impossible
for her to do her housework.
'"Tanlac seemed to suit her case ex-
actly. and she began to get better soon
after she started taking it. Her stom-
ach is in such splendid condition she
can eat just anything she wants and
everything agrees with her perfectly.
She never has a headache or dizzy
spell. and has regained her strength
so she can do her homework with the
greatest ease. Her nerves are in such
good condition she sleeps as peaceful
as child all night long and always
gets up feeling greatly rested. Since
taking Tanlac she does not seem like
the same woman. as it has just built
up her whole system You may say
for me that my wife and myself think
there is no other medicine in the
world like Tanlac, and we will always
praise it"
