Unionists and Sim Feiners
Renew Riots; Clubbed by Police

BELFAST, April 19.--In renewed riot
ing in Londonderry Sunday evening
between Unionists and Sim Feiners tn"
police clubbed both impartially. Re-
volvers were used freely.
Mathew Dcehan, youth, was shot in
the lung and is in serious condition.
The fighting was so fierce at Carlisle
Bridge that pedestrians were unable
to return to their homes and were
stranded for the night.
The bitterness of the fighting be-
tween the Unionists and SIM Feiners
led the police to intervene with fixed
bayonets. The combatants were driven
into their own quarters by this means.
The police were heavily stoned by the
mob and made several bayonet charges.
They succeeded in clearing the streets
about midnight
All suspected persons were searched
for firearms. Only one arrest was
made. however, in the case Of youth
with pockctful Of iron bolts.
AS tho result Of Saturdays roting
more than fifty persons were treated
in the infrmary. Many others who
had been injured declined medical at
tention. One chemist, it developed, sold
sevcnty-two bandagcs for use by
wounded individuals.

LITTLE ROCK. Ark, April 19.-At
least twenty persons are known to have
been killed and many more injured,
some probably fatally, early this morn
ing, when two tornadoes swept through
four counties in Northeastern Arkan-
sas, cutting a path more than 1000
yards wide. Practically every house in
its sweep was demolished, and consid-
cradle livestock perished. The path of
the storm included Franklin, Yell, Lo-
gan and Johnson counties.
At Harkey's Valley. near Danvillc,
Yell County, Mr.. and Mrs. C. II. Howell
and five children were killed when their
home was wrecked by the wind. A
small child Of the Howells' escaped in
jury. It was picked up by the wind
after the house had been unroofed and
carried 200 feet and safely deposited
between two uprooted pine trees.
Searching parties visiting the scene a
few hours later took charge Of the
baby.
Mrs. Mike Pique and five children
were killed near the Howell home. Mrs.
Will Bell and her son were killed when
the home Of her parents, where she was
visiting, was demolished. The parents,
Mr. and Mrs. H. Brock, were seriously

Says Detective
Wheelwright Testifies That
He Found Former Po-

With margaret Boyle
Jurymen Quickly Chosen
Witness Quits Stand, After
Crilling by Littleton,
With His Story Unshaken

Hilbert Wheelwright, a detective at
tached to the Special Service Division,
was the principal witness for the pros
ecution yesterday in the trial of former
Third Deputy Police Commissioner Au-
gustus Drum Porter, charged with neg
lect of duty, before Judge Malone in
General Sessions.
Wheelwright, appearing in uniform,
told in great detail how he and his
partner, Detective Fred Sorger, had en-
tered the apartment of Adele Goodall,
in West Ninety Street, on the
night of November IL and found Colo
mel Porter in room with woman
named Margaret Boyle. When they at
tempted to arrest the woman, the wit
ness said, Colonel Porter, who was then
a Deputy Police Commissioner, re-
vealed his identity and ordered the de-
tectives to leave her alone. He said,
Wheelwright declared, that she was a
"prominent New York woman"
Story Is Unshaken
For two hours Martin w. Littleton,
defending Porter, attempted to break
down Wheelwright's testimony under
a searching crosse examination. When
an adjournment was taken until to-
day, Wheelwright was still on the
stand and his story was unshaken.
Colonel Porter, dapper and faultlessly
dressed, was the most unconcerned per-
son in the court as Wheelwright metho-
Ideally related the rather sensational
events of that night in last November.
The former Deputy Commissioner ap-
peared to find a mild amusement in the
whole affair.
1t is doubtful if Judge Malone's court
was ever graced by more carefully
groomed defendant than Colonel Por-
ter. He looked like an imported fashion
plate as he strobe into the court room,
swinging a delicate bamboo stick and

New Regulations for Prisoners
DUBLIN, April 19.-Important gov
ernment regulations were issued to-
night fully providing for the treatment
of prisoners, so as to avoid the conse-
uuences of friction which has hereto
fore constantly prevailed. The mat
ter has now been reduced to a detailed
code. Not only are prisoners in pre-
ventive detention under the defence
of the realm act and other untried pris-
oncrs to receive ameliorative treat
ment, but in the case Of convicted pris-
oners a clear distinction is to be made
between men convicted Of political Of
fenses and men who, apart from poll
tics. have committed what are gener-
tlly understood as crimes.

dren Of Arlington, and in fact tho
whole community, and considering the
matter simply from cold blooded
business standpoint, would like 10
urge the wisdom of building this
school with all the force at my COM
mand.
With a good school Arlington will
go forward, will attract the best class
Of people who will find employment in
its industries. This will increase the
prosperity of the rest Of the commun-
ity affording better market for all
produce and labor and send the whole
town forward on the road to prosper
ity.
This is not theory on my part, as |
have seen it work out in this way
under my very eyes in at least two
instances. A good school is the best
financial asset any town can have and
is absolutely essential TO its growth

father Of the Plattsburg idea. He en-
dured the reproach of being militar-
list to secure the one, and pushed the
ether despite the frantic threats of the
Administration. Except for conscrip-

scarcely have arrived in time.
Princeton University paid a merited
tribute when it conferred a degree and
said:
'Tn our dcfenseless state he has
sounded the reveille to awaken .
slumbering nation from its dream
Of security, bidding us rise and
take our place like men to save
our freedom and help to save the
freedom Of the world"
As a doer General Wood revealed
himself when he was administrator OF
Cuba, and later of the Philippines.
His repute is international. his
achievements are compared to those
of Cromer and Miner Tact, fore
sight, patience, business judgment,
Imagination and sympathy-these ele-
ments were mixed in him and won him
the confidence Of proud but backward
peoples.
Touching the character Of the man
only one incident need be mentioned.
In July 1915, his division, the ssth,
reached the port Of debarkation. The
generals baggage was aboard when
an order came from Washington re-
licying him Of command. There was
almost a mutiny. He called his
officers together and said to them: Il
am going back to Camp Funston to-
morrow, where | shall give the best
that is in me TO the training Of the
new troops. DO not concern your
selves with my case. but get your mind
on the war. II you would please me
play your party eheerfully, and we'll
that means when in action never fail
to take your objective, and never be
late on your objective"
It's the way. as Kipling has told US,
a man takes a "facer" that proves his
stuff. Should General Wood reach the
White House we may be sure there
will be man there with ruggcdness
Of character equaling that Of the most
Of his predeccssors-New

The question may thus now be
asked. "why Wood?" What reasons

American people?
In the way Of giving honoring tes-
fimony where il seems richly due
these things may be said: He has

General Wood belongs TO no state
