HAS A MIRACULOUS ESCAPE
Attack Carefully Planned-Ar1busoade
In Lonely Part of Winding

Bublfn.-A determined but unsuc-

OF Ireland.
The attack evidently had been most
carefully organized at 3 spot In a
narrow winding road with walls and
hedges, affording the assassins good
hiding places One of the attacking
party was killed and a detective seat
ed with the chauffeur of the vfce-
regal car was slightly wounded in
the hand. Viscount French was not
injured. Some distance away a po-
liceman, patrolling his beat, was shot
in the ankle

whom is variously estimated at from
five to Is. The smaller number. how
ever, is considered more probable
The vice-regal party fired on the as
sassins as they fled across the fields,
but all escaped except the one man
killed, who was shot through the head
The ambuscade had been carefully
planned. the assassin placing obstruc-
lions in the narrow part of the road,
hoping to compel the motor cars In
which the vice-regal party was trav-

walls, in favorable positions, they had
stationed themselves for firing upon
the lord lieutenant and his party.
When the automobiles approached
revolvers were fired and bombs were
thrown. The assassins evidently OK

the second car in line, and at 1t most
OF the shots were aimed. He, how

only a few bullets penetrated A shot,
however, directed at the first car,
struck the detective who was sitting
beside the driver, in the hand.
Almost Immediately the vice-regal
party opened fire on the ambuscaded

RAIL WAY TRANSFER
MAY Be DELAYED
PRESIDENT WILLING TO HEAR
ARGUMENTS ON MATTER, DE-
CLARES SEC. TUMULTY.
LABOR DELEGATES HEARD
Claim Farmers and Union Workers
Want Extension of Government
Operation for at Least Two
Years More.

| Washington.-Pres. Wilson's mind ii
! still open on the question of returning
the railroads to private control, Secre
! tary Tumulty told q delegation repre-
senting union labor and some farmers
organizations which called at the White
House to present a letter asking the
executive to delay return of the roads
for two years
This was the first authoritative ex
preston from administration quarters
since the president informed congress
last May that he planned to relinquish
federal control by Jan. 1. The presi.
uent, Mr.. Tumulty said, would be glad
to get the views of the labor and farm
er Representatives who insisted that a
fair test of government operation in
peace time should be given.
While the delegation was at the
White House the senate was speeding
up consideration of the Cummins bill
and apparently was nearing a final
vote after more than a week of de-
bate. Under the measure the roads
would be returned to their owners
within 80 days after the bill became
final enactment of any railroad legis-
lation would be completed until well
after the Christmas holidays, owing to
differences between the senate and
house.
Before going to the White House the
union labor and farmers delegates.
which included President Gompers OF
the American Federation OF Labor and
representatives of the railroad brother
hoods, called on Senator Cummins,
chairman of the senate interstate COM
merce committee, and asked that his
bill be withdrawn. He indicated that
he would lay the request before the full
committee.
The letter from the labor and farm
ers' delegation to the president said
proponents of the Cummins bill
claimed that the president planned to
return the roads by Jan. 1 and that
some legislation providing for such
return must be enacted Immediately.
I'VE believe that this assertion is
a great injustice to you" continued
the letter. And you doubtless know
N overwhelming majority of the
'armers and members of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor and the rail
road brotherhoods, as well as the gen
eral public, favor an extension of the
period of government operation of the
railroads for at least two years. in or
der that a fair test may have been
made Of government operation and a
plan may be worked out for the ultim-
ate disposal of the railroads which
would be fair to all interests involved"

But he'd put himself on the bargain
counter OF life ever since he read
that there were seven women to every

swers.
! good many men have grown in
hateo about their own value since all
the talk of surplus spinsters. and
some or them go about with their
hearts In armor plating. fearful lest
some designing spinster may catch
them The knowledge that they're
not In position 70 keep wife makes
no dinerence; they Imagine that men
are so scarce that any girl would snap
at them
AND the poor spinster looks on and
laughs. She isn't in nearly so great a
hurry to wed az Mr.. Young Man thinks
and she's really rather particular about
the bargains she picks up. knowing
full well that not all things so labeled
turn out TO be genuine bargains She
In her turn. in spite of the man short
age, has the idea that she Is an i'm
portant person. Both young men and
girls are getting rather fond of label
ing themselves bargains these days.
You see, many girls have come on of
late years They are earning ample
salaries and hold good positions for
which they have qualified themselves.
1t is true that in some Instances they
got those positions because the men
were away but not I'm every instance.
Many girl has won through sheer
merit
If one looks at the bachelor women
OF today the inflated idea which so
many young men have of themselves
does seem rather silly. a girl who is
in good post would have 10 give nm
lot for marriage; not that she would
mind that If she loved her man.
Then, too, she may have got together
quite nice home OF her own and. al
though there are times when she is
rather lonely, still she manages TO
have quite a good time on the whole.
The man who won her would find that
little home. ready made. boon in
these days Of highly priced furniture.
Small wonder that the bachelor girl
rather resents the outlook of the young
man of today. She doesn't like his
bargain-counter attitude. although she
errs in The same way. She is far
more Independent person than was
even her own mother. and she knows
the value of freedom along with the
drawbacks.
She also knows just exactly what
she wants in a man she could marry
and. what is more. if she can't get
what she wants she is ready to remain
a spinster TO the end of the chapter
The young man who labels himself a
bargain rarely comes up to her ideal
and ideas.
Let's have a little less of the bargain
counter. Mr.. Young Man and Miss
Bachelor Girl. The great rule of give
and take" still holds for happiness and
there's finer pleasure in giving than in
taking.
