WOULD CLOSE ALL
 GINS FOR 3O DAYS Louisiana Governor Sends Tel egram to Every Governor In
 the Southern States
By Aseociated Pre..

Baton Rouge, La. October 25.-
 Governor Parker today issued nm
 appeal to the cotton ginners of the
 south to close down for at least
 thirty days. fin order that the cotton
 producers may receive . living
 price for their products. The ap-
 peal was sent by telegram by Gov
 ernOr Parker to the governor of
 every southerp state. 1t is as fol-
 lovvss
 "The one great agricultural crop in which the south has almost a monopoly is cotton. and with number of short crops in succession. and the certainty y the world urgently needs cotton. it is almost criminal to force this crop on the market at present prices, far be- low actual cost. bringing ruin to farm- CTS and thereby ultimate disaster to the spinners and actual suffering to those needing cotton goods.
 The question is a serious one. which should be approached with that earnestness which the critical condi- tions demand and not from the stand point of hysteria or lawlessness.
 Cotton and cotton seed do not de- preeiate in value if kept out of the weather and with present congested transportation and storage facilities, if cotton is kept in the seed on the farms, not only will the market become sta bilized, but reliable and lasting benefit will accrue to all.
 Bankers and merchants should CO., operate in this work. which is equally important to state and nation. to pro- ducer and consumer.
 The present emergency requires the attention and cooperation of all classes of citizens in justifying the request for all gins to shut down for at least thirty days. or longer. if necessary. in order that the producers may receive living prices for their products and the zrea. cotton industry not crippled or de- stroyed.
 Il deem it necessary to issue this ap- peal in the interest of the public wel- faxes FIN

 the most prominent of inc Irish
 hunger strikers and said 10 have
 the been the brains of the repub-
 Iican army in Ireland. died early
 today in Brixton prison.
 The end was not unexpected. for the lord mayor had been unconscious for several days. He was entering upon the seventy fourth day of his hunger strike as protest against a sentence oe two years imprisonment on several charges including one of having se- oitious documents in his possession.
 Only his brother, John MacSwiney. and his private chaplain. Father Domi- n'c, were with him when he died Mrs. MacSwiney and the prisoners two sis tors, Annie and Mary, were at nearby hotel
 The lord mayor, who was terribly emacited as result of his long abstin ehce from food, had been delirious fo- many hours and was unconscious when death came.
 1t was several hours after the lord mayor died before his brother was permitted to tell Mrs. MacSwiney the news She immediately went to the prison, accompanied by her parents and the Misses Macswiney. and the family group, stoical and dry-eyed. pray ed over the body as 1t lay on the cot.
 There were no untoward demonstra tens outside the prison after the news of MacSwiney's death became generally known.

 The home office, in charge of pris- ems. which would control the move hfeni of the body In England, said that TO plan for the removal of the body had been officially considered.
 At the Irish office it was declared that no plan had been formulated for the transfer of the body to Ireland anl that final decision on this point would rest solely with Dublin Castle
 u Is within the powers of the home ottlce to give up the body of prls- oner in whatever way is deemed most expedient. It is pointed out that it could legally transfer the body in ss- cret to some out of the way place an later to a government vessel and de- liver if at Cork

Public Officials
Entitled To Funds
For Duty Expense

Public officials cannot travel at pub
lie expenses merely because they are
public officials, but such officials
while engaged in the performance Of
public business that is germane to
their official duties, have right to
travel at public expense, in the opis-
ion of Attorney General Brown.
The attorney generals opinion was
prepared in reply TO query from
Walter H. Evans, district attorney for
Multnonah county, as to whether or
not the board of county commissioners
of Multnomah county has the right to
expend county money in defraying the
necessary travelling expenses Of one of
its members upon trip east in COM
pany with an architect for the purpose
of inspecting number of hospitals in
order to decide more intelligently upon
the plans for new hospital to be
built in Multnomah county.
Brown declares that the commission
ers have this right provided that such
journey is undertaken by the county
commissioner with the sanction of the
county board or that such journey is
ratified by the county board and this
sanction or ratification is given after
consideration in the belief that such
journey is for the welfare of the public
in and about the construction of said
county hospital"
