CORK, Oct. 30.-The military intel

he effect that every oificer and man
Of the British military forces, whether
lie vas IL uniform CT not, "a goes y 81,
the funeral to-morro% OF Terence Mac
Swiney should be shot.
This announcement lent credence to
rumors of possible trouble which have
been sweeping the city. The Republi-
can leaders scoffed at it as fabrica-
tion spread to interfere with the fu-
neral. 1t will be strange if the present
temper of the Irish people is not en-
phasiZed by some form of more tha I
passive reprisal.
So far, the impartial observer must
admit that the once lawless elements
Of the Republican movement have
borne what every Irishman considers de-
plorable indgnities with creditable
calm submission to discipline.
Resentment Deep-Seated
But despite the calm one senses the
possibility of trouble on the morpw.
for resentment over the governments s
action at Holyhead in seizing the body
of the Lord Mayor from his relatives
has grown with the telling.
There is an air of impending tragedy
behind the studied calm in the city.
The body of Terry MacSwiney, back
once more among his own people, lay
IN state in the crepe hung City Hall
all day, while a continuous stream of
repub lean mourners fled past his
coffin from dawn till dark 1t is esti-
mated that $1,000 stood in line.
The interior of the City Hall was so
banked with flowers and wreaths that
there was scarcely a pathway left
through which the unending line of
mourners wound its way. Above the
coffin in which lay the body, the face
terribly lined with emaciation, hung q
banner with the inscription: "Mur-
dered by the foreigner, Brixton Prison.
October 25." The body was dressed in
the uniform Of the Irish republican
army.
The city again was quiet. Every one
wore the Sim Fein colors, trimmed in
black, and the city's flags were all at
halfstaff, including those of American
ships riding at anchor in the river
Lee.
The body will be conveyed to the
Cork Cathedral early tomorrow for
high mass at II o'clock.

Will Postpone Funeral

LONDON, Oct. 80 (Ey The Associ-

has decided to postpone the funeral of
Terence MacSwiney until Monday as "a
protest against the governments action
in the case and to appeal from the
military order restricting the length of
the funeral procession to quarter of
mile, says a dispatch to the Central

CORK, Oct. 80 (By The Ass socated

Confidence Men on the Other Side of the Water After Big Game
 Same as Americans

VIENNA. Feb. 21. - A Vienna money broker was robbed of 2,000,' GOO rubles the other day in a poli tical plot to obtain control of thJ Irkrainian legation here. The story IS worked out by the police is as good as a play.
 The scheme was the familiar confidence game of inducing the broker to violate the law and oi seiure of the money by criminals disguised as gendarmes.
 A supposed Ukrainian general re gently arrived in Vienna and en- yagcd with money broker to buy up to 2.000,O0O rubbles It is file sal in Austria to deal in foreign money or to have it in private pos assion and all foreign exchange is lone through authorized banks. The broker agreed to have the amount n hand on a certain day. He lived md conducted his business in a hotel

 The broker begged and protested and finally was told to appear in court on the following day, his rec ord being taken with the greatest are and particulars. But the Col 1fels protests were unavailing. He stormed and invoked his nationality in vain. The two policemen gath cred up the money, counted it and giving a receipt. told the broker to lppear promptly before the authori- ties.
 Then. taking the Colonel they left An hour later the broker woke up to the fact that the Col onel and the two gendarmes were 'akirs and he had been robbed of some 2.000,000 rubles.
 The Vienna police is efficient i'll his kind of thing and in a day or two had gathered in two of the ,windlers. but not the one with the money Working on the case they finally ascertained that the money was to be used for political ends The plan, according to the police reports, was a plot to seize the Ukrainian legation here by an political force, get posses sion of the records and seals and iefy the existing government, a plot characteristic of the present un- settled state of affairs in Eastern Europe. The legation however, had wind of it and was prepared for whatever might happen. The police say this is the second plot to the end frustrated.

The hydrometer test simply weighs

IL is added to water, as it is to make

the battery solution should weigh one

This weight is called specific gravity,

ter, 1t shows that the battery is full

it weighs 1.170 times as much as

therefore the battery Is discharged.
But remember that you cannot
