Lord Mayor of
Cork Must Die
Is Final Word
Ministers Decide Definitely
That Governments Atti-
tude Will Remain
Suffering Pain.

London, Sept. difference Mac.
Swiney, lord mayor of Cork. passed
a bad night in Brixton prison. where
he is continuing his hunger strike,
which began August II, says bull
letin issued this morning by the
Irish, self-determination league. He
is suffering great pain i'll his arms,
legs and back and complains of a
feeling of dizziness and -numbness,
but is still conscious.
The following written statement
of the attitude of the British gov
ernment in the case of Lord Mayor
MacSwiney was handed out by the
executive offices of the premier in
Downing street last night:
Acts Bordered on Treason.
"The lord mayor OF Cork was con-
vieted by courtmartial and he ad-
mitted specific charges--acts tanta-
mount to treason. He was SEN
fenced not TO death but to two wears
Imprisonment without hard labor.
He has refused food and is appar-
entity determined to commit suicide
by self-starvation. If he. were re-
leased, two consequences would in
all probability follow.
"U) Fresh attempts would be
made, as happened on previous oc-
casions when hunger strikers were
released to continue with added ac-
tiviry the long series OF murders OF
policemen.
"(2.) Itwould open to amy person
imprisoned on any similar offense
the use of the case of the lord mayor
as a precedent with good hope of
securing release and the opportunity
to repeat the acts which led to the
incarceration.
Campaign Unnecessary.
Unless the aim OF the lord mayor
and those associated with him it to
secure secession of Ireland as a
completely independent sovereign
state from the commonwealth of
British nations-in which case no
compromise between them and the
British government is possible--the
sufferings of the lord mayor, to-

Of the fair this year 3l,45S auto,
mobiles passed through the Seven
teenth street entrance, showing a
tremendous increase over last year

Monday, 51,S02; Tuesday, 44,407; !;

mission charge at the mann outer

neighborhood of $4,000 more than
last year.

the live stock parade, nearly a mile
long, and one of the most elaborate
in the history of the fair. "We are
pleased with the outcome, that goes
