WHO IS FEEDING MAcswINEY
London Papers Assert Somebody Is
Furnishing Food to Starving Lore
Mayor of Dublin.

London.-The condition Of Terence
MacSwiney, lord mayor Of Cork, was
reported unchanged in three bulletins
issued by the Irish Self-Determination
League, although he appeared some
what refreshed by two hours sleep
during the night. This evenings bulle-
tin, given out after Mrs. MaeSwiney's
daily visit to her husband, said:
He is extremely weak, but still
conscious"
Considerable talk was occasioned
by a paragraph appearing in the Sun
day Times, under the head, who is
feeding Mr.. MacSwiney?'
It says: Everybody is asking who
is feeding him. There is no doubt at
all that the government is not giving
him food, or any of the prison officials.
1t is suggested that his visitors, priests
aud relatives, are giving him sufficient
food to keep him alive"

Lines 600 Million.

Washington. = Approximately 23e
million dollars has been paid by the
government to the railroads under the
guarantee clause of the Esch-Cum-
mings railroad law, it was learned the

The guarantee clause provides the

sufficient to insure a standard return
for the first six months of private

LABOR CASES TO HIGH COURT
States Appeal From Judge Mccain
Isf's Decision in Switchmen's Cases
Reaches the Supreme Court.

The first case involving the criminal
sections of the industrial court law
has reached the supreme court. 1t
was the appeal Of the state from the
order of Judge Mechanism in the Wyan-
dotte County district court discharging
the members of the outlaw switch
mems union. They were arrested IN
der the penalty clause of the industrial
court law which prohibits anyone in
citing others to go on a strike.
Judge MECHANISM decided the case
just before the primary. Every effort
was made by state officials to get the
appeal papers to the supreme court
more than m"7th ago, so that an ef-
fort could be made to have the appeal
tried in October But there has been
great delay in forwarding the tran

possible to get the case heard before
the November sitting of the court.
The Howat cases involved only the
right of the industrial court to compel
witnesses and did not involve the right
OF the state to send a man to Jail or
impose a fine if he melted others to
strike. The case of the switchmen

Mechanism held that the title of the
law was not sufficient to cover the
penalty clauses.

Genoa Italy.-Two high explosive

them have not been discovered. The
authorities are following every clew,
feeling they may arrest the perpetra-

which may extend to the United

Six Hungarians have been arrested
here since the explosion. They are
said to be Communists, and were tax

be a rendezvous for radicals.
Police have ascertained the bomb
had been made recently, and, for this
reason, there is some suspicion that
it was turned out by a plant occupied
by workmen- Attempts have been
made to blow up several fashionable
restaurants, one OF which was located
in the basement Of the Stock Ex-

against the figures and maintained
that they were entirely incompetent

the figures and began questioning
them as to how they reached their
conclusions. The railroads protested

new YORK AGAIN
GUSTS RADICALS
When the Assembly Voted Out
Three of Socialists, Two
Others Resigned.
BIG MAJORITY FOR EXPULSION
Votes on All Three Men Were go to IS
Two Given Seats, But
Later Resigned.

MISUNDERSTANDING by its original
action OF last spring, when it cast
out Of five Socialist assemblymen. on
the grounds that they belonged to an
organization inimical to the govern
ment of the United States, the assem-
bly, has expelled three Of the five, but
voted to seat the other two. Upon an
nouncement of the result, Assembly
men Samuel Dewitt and Samuel Orr.
who were successful in retaining their
seats, resigned from the assembly.
In spite Of pleas by Speaker Thad-
deus Sweet, who originated the custer
movement early in the year, and de-
spite earnest endeavors Of Majority
Leader Adler, Minority Leader DOna-
hue and Chairman Martin of the Ju-
dietary committee, to prevent this &C
tion,- the assembly took the bit in its
teeth and bolted completely out of the
hands Of its recognized leaders.
Voted Out BY Big Majorities.
The final vote, taken separately on
each man, was 80 to As for the expul-
sion of Charles Solomon, Louis Valid
man and August Claessens, and 81 to
As for the retention of Dewitt and Orr
When the result of the vote on the
fifth man was announced, Assembly
man Martin McCue moved reconsider
alton Of the vote by which Waldman
was expelled. He voiced his opinion
that partisan politics had played a
great part in the vote and pleaded that
if Orr and Dewitt were entitled to
seats the other three men should also
be seated His motion to reconsider
was lost, however, by vote Of 50 to
ST.
Sweet Changed Front, But
The attitude of Speaker Sweet on
the Socialist question was watched
throughout the evening session with
keen interest. He had been one of the
first legislators at Albany to press
for the ousting Of all Socialists from
public office The spring campaign
had been largely conceived by him
and was fought through to the finish
under his whip.
His standpoint, therefore tonight
when he declared that the Socialists
in his opinion had purged themselves
by striking from their constitution the
Objectionable pIanks and clauses that
brought about their expulsion, was
greeted by the Socialists as a reVer- |
sal of attitude. To the surprise OF |
many, however, the speaker recorded |
himself on the roll call as against |
seating one of the expelled members. |

KANSAS LOSSES IN BIG War
The National Guard Units Lost Most
Men, Adjutant General c. |.
Martin Says.

Charles I. Martin, adjutant general,
has just received the casualty list for
all the Kansas outfits in the war. The
national guard units had almost as
many casualties as all the other or
CARNATIONS put together. The figures
show that the national guard had 1 ,504
men wounded in the war The en-
listed reserve had seven wounded, the
regular army had 3S1 Kansans wound
ed, and the national army units from
this state had 1929.
This showing is all the more remark
able when the sizes of the different
units are compared. There were ap-
proximately nine thousand men in the
national guard units. In the enlisted
reserve, the regular army and the ma
tional army together there were slight
ly more than seventy thousand men
from this state. So the showing of
only sixty-three less wounded men in
the nine thousand than there were in
seventy thousand indicates just what
fighting scamps those national guards
men really were.
There were 1,799 deaths in all OF the
Kansas units during the war.
