Felony Statute Protecting
Diplomats From Insult.

Washington, April 6.--Tho Fedora
Government moved today to put an end
to the picketing of the British Embassy
which was renewed yesterday by women
sympathixers with the movement for an
Irish republic.
United States District Attorney Laskey
informed Matthew O'Brien, conusel ,or
the women, that it his clients persisted they
would be prosecuted under Federal
statute which makes the offering of an
insult to a diplomatic representative Of q
foreign government or to his official
residence felony punishable by peni-
tentlary sentence.
simultaneously Mr.. Laskey conrnuni-
Gated his decision to the District of
Columbia Commissioners, who instructed
the police to arrest the women after
warning them. Captain Doyle and two
policewomen were sent to the embassy
In a patrol wagon and found Mrs. Mary
Walker, of Astoria, l.. l., and Miss Mollie
Carroll, New York, carrying banners on
the sidewalk.
Captain Doyle informed tho banner
bearers that unless they left in Is min
utes they would be arrested under Fed
eral statutes, but they refused to depart
The pickets offered no resistance and
were taken TO nearby police station,
along with their banners. One banner
bore this inscription: America, Alb
rogate all Treaties with England" The
other read: American Women Con-
demn Your Reign of Terror in the Irish
Republic"
After they had been taken to police
head quarters, and cid for half an hour
they were released on orders of MIR.
Lsskey. The District Attorney explained
subsequently that the police had acted
before Mr.. O'Brien had had time to
notify his clients of the Governments
decision.
An hour before the police intervened
Mrs. Sophie Stanton and Mrs. Hattie
Larkin, of this city, attacked two pickets
who had preceded Mrs. Walker and Miss
Carroll and were arrested on charges of
"disorderly conduct. They were re-
leased upc.! despositing cash forfeit of
S25 each.
Mrs. Walker and Miss Carroll we're
not replaced at the Embassy after the
police took them away.
When the picketing which was started
last Friday, was resumed yesterday morn
ing, Mrs. James Walsh, of New York, a
leader of the women, said it would be
continued indefinitely" irrespective OF
any action by the police. This, however
was before the Government had decided
to proceed under Federal statutes.

Value Of a College Education

There was never time when expert knowledge
was so highly priced and so highly compensated
High wages for unframed labor will temnt
many young man to discount the value of COL
lege education. But such an education, represent
ing the work of four years, viewed merely as an
investment of time and money, is equal in earn
! ing capacity to an estate of more than $50 900
What estate comparable with this can the par
ent of average means hope to give or leave to his
son? What young man can acquire that much
value in the same time at any other business?
Education fits one for life whose possibilities
are limited only by his capacity and character.
Eventually for the unframed there awaits the
slavery of ignorant and undirected effort
Clemson College brings within the reach of
every young man in South Carolina the benefits
and possibilities Of a technical education. At
Clemson College boy from the humblest home
in South Carolina can prepare himself for high
place in the service of his state and nation.
