STERNLY DENIED
Body of Mayor MacSwiny Is
Taken Directly to Cork

Force Was Used on Relatives OF
Dead Mayor Who Insisted on
Going to Dublin with Body

Holyhead, Wales, Oct. 20. CAS-
sociated When day broke over the
irish sea the steamer Baltimore
bearing the body of Mayor MacSwiney
was steaming southwark off the
Welsh Headiand on the way to Cork.
At the same hour the relatives Of
MacSwiney who refused the special
steamer provided to take them and
the body to Cork were on their way
to Dublin.
The shipment of the body direct to
Cork was preceded by violent scene
in which blows were struck. Mem
bers OF MacSwiney family were drag
ged from the railway coach here.
They refused to consent to the Gov
ernment's plan to take the body to
Cork instead OF to Dublin only after
being placed under virtual arrest and
the body was taken from the train to
the steamer.
1t was because OF "the risk Of po-
litical demonstration that might re,
suit in the loss of innocent lives"
said Government announcement,
that it was decided the Lord Mayors
body should be taken direct to his ma
tive city.
An extensive programme had been
prepared in Dublin. MacSwineys body
was to have been escorted to West
land Row to the Pro-Cathedral, where
mass was to have been said and IT
tended by the Lord Mayor of Dublin
and representatives of the Dublin
Corporation. All trains were to be
stopped for a few minutes, the tram.
ways for ten to fifteen minutes. the
hotels and restaurants closed for a
similar period, and all shops except
those selling food. and all saloons and
factories closed throughout the day.

Burlington, Oct ga ruling which

cant must not be sold but the Vol
stead act already allows a person to
serve bona fide guests In his home
with liquors, so it is assumed that
this newly yauthorized beverage Will
be available fer large body of con-
/ sumers.
This new ruling practically let's
down the bars and permits all who
care enough about alcoholic stimu-
/ lants to make 1t themselves, to have
an abundant supply

BERKSHIRE R. R.
WANTS INCREASE
Of FARE RATES
Would Raise Zone Rate from
Five Cents to Six Cents
HAS BEEN LOSING MONEY
Railway Plan Would Affect Each Fare
Limit Between North Adams and
the State Line.

Boston, Oct. 28.-Officials repre-.
senting the Berkshire Street Railway
Company asked the commissioners OF
the Department Of Public Utilities at
a hearing today to approve a proposed
20 per cent increase In fares which
the company desires to place In effect
on its lines between Pittsheld and
North Adams, Nov. 10.
G. @ Richmond, general manager
of the company, told the commits
sioners that the lines have been run
at deficit of S76,0S6.35 for the iirst
nine months of this year
The present fare rate Is 8 cents IN
each zone, and the zones are two
miles In length. The company seeks
permission to make the fare cents.
Permission was also asked TO raise
the rate OF fare on a stub" line two
miles in length, between Lenox and
Pittsfeld to 10 cents The present
fare rate on this branch line Is >
cents.
The petition was opposed by George
A. Mole. town counsel Of Lenox. He
said that the people Of l,enox have no
objection to paying 20 per cent. in
crease, as Is proposed for the other
parts of the system but argued that
a 100 per cent increase on the pat
rons of the Lenox line is discriminat
tion.
Under the proposed schedule Gen.
eral Manager Richmond said that the
new rate of fare between Pittsfeld
and North Adams distance OF "a
miles will be 20 cents, which ! n
cludes war tax of 4 cents, as against
the old rate of SO cents.
Decision was reserved.
