DUBLIN PASSES
 HOLIDAY WITH MINOR CLASHES
TRepubllcan A. p. Leased Wire1

DUBLIN, Dec 27.-The holiday passed fairly quiet in Dublin, con trary to expectations. The curfew or der was not relaxed, but on Christmas eveeit was to some extent ignored by roisterers throughout the night and there was much alarm and shooting, several persons being slightly injured.
 A young soldier in civilian clothes was shot dead by sentry in the grounds of the Royal hospital at Kill mainham, on the west side of the city, for refusing to halt when challenged. In different parts of the country men were shot dead by armed gangs.
 Elizabeth Scales, the young woman who was killed in Limerick, lost her life in a brave attempt to protect her companion, Constable Richardson. She rushed between him and several assaiI- ants and received a bullet in her heart.
 Accounts Of the Bruff incident differ. The police say an ambush was being prepared in the Guiltamore house, near Bruff, according to other reports mere ly Christmas dance was proceeding there.
 The Bruff constabulary signalled to Limerick for endorsements and a large body of police with an armored car was sent. Some military arrived at midnight and it is alleged the sol | diers were fired upon by sentries posted around the house. One civilian said to be a well known Sim Fein or ganizer was killed All the persons | found with arms in their possession
 were made prisoners.
 There were faction riots in London
 derry Christmas night and Sunday, but
 troops cleared the streets.

The estimate was accompanied by figures showing the cost of carrying out any of the five optional provisions of the bonus bill provided all former service men chose a single, plan. The figures for the various plans ranged from s1.342, ,000, 900 for the adjusted pay n-pvisions, to $4,5S2,0OO,000 for insur- fHce provisions.
 The maximum possible cost of voca- tfonal training aid and farm and home development plans were placed at $1,- sS0.000,0O0 each, while the secretary said the fifth provision, plan for land settlement, held so many uncertainties that it was impossible to estimate the possible expenditures.
 Submission of the estimated total cost made an apparent impression upon members of the committee which is considering the bonus bill as passed by the house at the last session. Members declined to forecast the decision of the committee on the question of re- porting out the measure, but it was re- called that Senator McCumber, Repub- lican of North Dakota, stated at the opening of hearings on the bill that it's passage would depend largely on the state of government finances and that MT. Houston had testified the treas ury, with normal expenditures, would have a deficit of $2,100,0O0 for the year ending next June 30, and deficit of $1 ,50O, ,O00, ,0O0 for. the following twelve months.
 During Mir. Houston's testimony it became increasing evident that the present treasury administration does not desire either to advise or to recommend with respect to legis- lation providing for greater gov- ernmental expenditures. The secre- fary made plain to the committee his thought in submitting a list of possible sources of new taxes in his annual re- port, saying that they were for the information of congress and were in no sense more than suggestions.
 Reiterating his opposition to revival of the war finance corporation, MT. Houston declared the present sources of revenue were fast declining and add ed that he knew not where the money was to come from the meet the bonus payment should the bill be enacted into law. He avoided discussing the addi- tional taxes carried in the bill and de- signed to meet it's needs, referring the committee first to the survey of the taxation problem in his annual report and explaining he was unable even C prescribe ways of raising revenue foi current needs without readjusting ant
  more money.
 pr. r. S. Adams, treasury economis and tax expert, at the suggestion o Mir Houston. gave the committee complete statement of revenue obtain able from the various taxes suggeste to congress in Mir. Houston's annua report. He pointed to many neV sources which might be utilized. bu explained that much of the question O raising a tax levy centered first. in tn determination of revenue policy whic only congress could provide.
 pr. Adams also suggested that on ne the greatest needs was a simplifi cation of the revenue laws, statemer concurred in by Senator Shoot, Re publican, O. Utah, who said there wa an evident need for enactment of ta laws which the average man can un derstand."

One Killed Forty
 Hurt In Pittsburg
 Street Car Wreck
Republican A. p. Leased Wirel

PITTSBURG. Pa, Dec. 27.-One man was killed and more than 40 persons were injured, several seriously, when a trailer attached to a street car, broke loose on a Forbes street grade in the Oak land district tonight, dashed down the hill and crashed into another car. Both cars were crowded with persons on their way to their homes in Oakland, East Liberty and Williamsburg, from their work in the down town section.
 The accident occurred at Lawn and Forbes streets, three squares away from the point where the trailer disengaged itself from the lead car. When the trailer broke loose at Craft avenue and started to back down the grade, the pas sengers became panic stricken. In the rush for the doors, a stove was overturned and a slight fire re- suited. The passengers crowded against the exits and after the trailer struck the other car at Lawn street, it was impossible to open the doors. Bremen who were summoned to extinguish the fire in the trailer demolished the doors with axes.

OBJECTIONS II ALIEN LAND LAW
 MAY BE REMOVED BY NEW TREATY

wASHINGTON. Dec. 27-Declara- tion was made tonight by Represen- tatiye Kahn of California that he believed reports were true that the Japanese government had withdrawn its opposition to the recently ratified California law prohibiting acquisition by Japanese of title to real estate in that state. The California represen- tative made the statement after a conference today with Roland $. Moor ris, American ambassador to Tokio.
 Announcement was made by Repre- sentative Kahn that a meeting of the California members of the house had been called for Wednesday to discuss aspects of the negotiations now being cArried on between the United States and Japanese governments looking toward a treaty defining the rights of Japanese nationals in the United States.
 The principal matter to be taken up at the conference, Representative Kahn said, was the proposal that the California legislature be asked to en- act a substitute for the recently rati- fled Jaw. The substitute would pro- hibit any aliens from acquiring land in California and would thereby re- move the contention of the Japanese government that the present Califor- mia law be discriminatory.

DENIES NEW DUTY
 ON WOOL AFFECTS CLOTHING PRICES IN NUN|TEDSTATEs
TRepubIlcan A. p. Leased wIre1


 SALT LAKE CITY, Dec. 27.-J. R. Marshall, secretary of the National Wool Growers association, today is- sued statement branding as ''very an assertion attributed to Representative Madden of Illinois to the effect that the duty proposed on wool in the Fordney emergency tariff bill would double the price of cloth. ing.
 MT. Marshall said:
 "A very misleading statement by Representative Madden of Illinois has been twice carried in dispatches. In the debate on the Fordney emergency tariff bill, Representative Madden stated that the proposed duty on wool would cause the price of clothing to double.
 Such a statement is both ridiculous and dangerous. If uncorrected 1t would constitute serious misrepresentation of the work and objects of the ways and means committee and both houses of congress.
 'The National Wool Growers asso- citation has repeatedly pointed out that but little connection exists between the market price of wool and the sell ing price of clothes. Three and one quarter pounds of secured wool are re- quired for an average sized mans suit iAAoAS HUH WOISlcQ 1nG B7OrQ- ney bill provides a duty of 45 cents per pound on secured wool. The duty on | the wool entering into suit would amount to $1. 46, which is very far 1 from 100 per cent of the price of any suit as Mir. Madden refers to. Also an import duty on material does not | necessarily mean that the manufac. ! turerS' cost will be increased bV the amount of that duty.
 Producers and selling agents in the country of origin realize the need oi adjusting their prices to permit ex. ports to countries levying duties. Int proposed measure would give Ameri. can wools in American markets ar advantage of 45 cents per secured pound over foreign wools that unti recently sold around $2 per pound This would give needed security t, home production. The full arnotl1s would go into the treasury and serv, to reduce amounts otherwise collecte, , in more direct ways. The paymen would actually largely be made by tn foreign exporters who would necessar fly sell at prices to permit our manu lecturers to use the wools on whici duty has been paid.
 No matter how opinions differ as f operations of tariffs it is grossly in correct to suggest that result woul ! even approach what MT. Madde claims"

NEW YORK, Dec. 27.-Placing of every railroad, street car, ferry and highway entrance into the city under special police. guard and the calling out of $50 embryonic policemen for final training. were announced by Police Commissioner Enright tonight as the latest measure to check New York's tide of outlawry.

 Charles Jones, with whom Eastman was associated in an automobile busI- ness after the war, said today he was l Ildeavoring to locate the gangster sister. He added that he would see to it that Eastman has good funeral and that there will be a lot of good men there to show their friendliness toward lhim." Jones asserted Eastman had
 "gone straight since he left prison 1C
 wears ago and he knew of no reason
 why he should have been slain. ! Eastman was the seventh noted gang leader to be slain in recent years. Big Jack Selig was killed by an other gangster known as "Boste~ Red" Davison, who Shot him in an open Third avenue trolley in 1912.

NO CURE FOR FOWL CHOLERA
Afflicted Birds Should Be Killed by
Dislocating Necks and Car
cases Burned.

Poultry experts at Iowa State col
l.ge are warning poultry keepers
against fowl cholera which is a very
contagious disease of hens often prov.
ing fatal without any previous indica-
lions of trouble. Indications include
slow movement of the animal, a
tendency TO crouch and ruffie the
feathers, and yellow or bright green
stools. Examination of the dead bird
shows a congestion of the blood ves-
sells in the liver, kidneys and intes-
tines.
1t is useless to treat sick birds. All
that show symptoms should be killed
BY dislocating their necks. Burn the
body with oil and bury at least three
feet deep all dead birds and all ex-
sreta. Place one 7.3 grain bichloride
Of mercury tablet in gallon of drink

CARE FOR BREEDING CATTLE
Have Both Cows and Herd Bull In
Good Physical Condition to Insure
Uniform Calf Crop.

If it is desired to have calves
dropped in the fall or early winter
months-November-the cows should
be bred in February and March. One
way to insure a uniform calf crop is
to have both the breeding cows and
herd bull In good physical condition
at this time. A herd bull that has
been left with the wintering herd to
shift for himself Is, as a rule, In poor
condition when the breeding season
arrives, and the chances are that he
will not be sure, vigorous sire.
The ration for the herd bull should
consist of liberal amount of rough
ages, such as corn silage, legume hay,
slower, or straw, and in most in
stances, unless In good condition, a
small allowance of grain. The breed
ing cows should be healthy and vigor-
Gus at time of ealving, otherwise they
should receive in addition to a lib
eral supply of silage, legume hay, or
other roughage, and small amount of
grain, in order that they may give suf-
f1cient milk to nourish the calves prop
erly and at the same time maintain
their own condition.
