Phantom Road
Will Be Open
Next Week

The work of making the repairs on
road is proceedings rapidly and from
present indications this popular high
way will be. open to the public early
next week. During the three weeks
the road has been out of commission
there has been much complaint from
tourists as to when the route will be
open.
Since the road has been out. how
ever, there has been no cessation OF
travel so far as the sightseeing tour
lists are concerned. An average of
100 people day are transferred at the
scene of the washout and taken on
through to Colorado Springs by way
of Cripple Creek. Last Saturday it
is estimated that $50 tourists were
transferred at the roal camp.
The spot where the washout took
place is 10 feet across and it be-
came necessary to bridge it over.
There was an old railroad trestle
across the gulch for years, but the
company filed it in and put in a small
culvert, When the water came down
each year the channel gradually filed
up with sand which formed sort of
reservoir The fill was washed out
by the recent flood and when the pres
ent repairs are completed there will
be no further trouble at that point
No other portion of the road was dam
aged by the flood.

Ahart's House
Hit by Lightning

During the, electric storm about 6
O'Clock Thursday evening the home
of Mr.. and Mrs. w. p. Ahart and fam
lily on East Grand avenue, Lincoln
Park. was struck by lightning. but
was not seriously damaged. The bolt
struck large elm tree short dis
tance away and the current conveyed
to the house by the electric wiring.
The family was seated at the supper
table at the time and the members
were all more or less severely shocked
by the current. which iliuminatd the
dining room and seemed to dart about
in the most eccentric manner. The
paper was torn from the walls and cell
ing Of the room and along the edges
of the border near the ceiling was
scorched and blackened as II burned
fame of fire.

Florence Not
to Lose Its
Ball Park

FLORENCE. Aug. 2s.-The opinion
prevalent that the United Oil Com
pany has officially notified the city
to vacase the site OF the present ball
park is all wrong and is the result of
a wrong report made of the council
meeting OF a wek ago.
At that time. the council had under
consideration the granting of the ball
park for the Labor day celebration.
when Alderman Sweet remarked that
he would not be surprise that IL some
day not far distant the city would be
compelled to select site for another
ball park because the United OIL Com
pany intended, OF necessity, to in
crease their tankage room and spread
out over more ground.
There has been nothing further than
this heard by the city council in CON
nection with the affair.

TROOPS RUSHED TO
END CORK OUTBURST
Crimes and Reprisals Both
Must End, Is Word From
Government.

Special Gable to THE New YORK HERALD.
Copyright, 1920, by THE New York HERALD

London. Dec. IL.
Herculean efforts are being made here
tonight, lest the hopes for Irish peace
go down In the sea of blood and fire
with which Cork has been deluged the
last twenty-four hours. 1t has been
learned that the Government has already
taken two important steps to try to
remedy he deeds Of their own w Id men.
1t has sent word to Gen. Neville Mac
Ready to fill Cork with regular troops
and to take charge and repress both re-
prisals and the crimes.
1t Is. also intimated that a black list
Of those who win not be permitted to
attend the proposed conference with the
Dale Eireann VII be short and probably
will not include more than half dozen
names. 1t is also reported that Pre-
mier Lloyd George has demanded the
resignation of Sir Hamar Greenwood,
Chief Secretary for ireland. though this
comes from Irish sources and must be
taken with reserve.
1t Is nevertheless certain that the
burning of the heart of Cork at the
very moment martial law was pro-
claimed there has put the Government
strictly on the defensive against the
growing tide of sentiment against re-
prisals in England. This sentiment.
which seemed hopeless. following Lloyd
Georges speech Of Friday. received a
rude shock to-day, more from the pun
ishment meted out on the innocent with
the guilty in Cork than over the Ri ok
and Tans who were killed Saturday
night.
There is a general disposition to be-
lieve that both Downing Street and
Dublin Castle are doubly disturbed over
this. While it lends color to reports
circulating in London last week In eff
feet that Parliament and cabinet, as
well as Dublin Castle, would do any
thing rather than Sc a dicker with any
one in the murder gang" likelier in
corporations are that there are men on
either side who are active fighters
both Irish and Black and Tans-who
refused to contemplate an armistice
until they have settled their own bitter
personal scores with each other.
This sentiment reaches head in Cork
where not only the hottest and widest
Sim Feiners in all Ireland gather but
where the famous met men" OF the
Black end Tans practice. THE NEW
YORK HERALD correspondent Is informed
from Dublin by telephone tonight that
IL Is felt the day has almost shattered
what small hopes for peace Lloyd
George offers.

SOLDIERS QUIT ITALIAN
ARMY FOR D'ANNUNZIO
Expected to Precipitate De-

from Undlne, three of which succeeded
In recalling the palace Of Gabrielle dan

The fourth car was prevented from
reaching it's destination by a sentinel,
who threw under it's wheels obstacles
which cut the tires, brining it to halt.
The crew of the car escaped and man
aged to reach Fiume on foot
Gen. Caviglla. the Italian commander,
on Saturday went to Abbazla, Istria,
where he had conference with the COM
manders who are opposing the forces of
d'Annunzio. It is stated that owing to
the immovable position of d'Annunzio
the Government intends to send an ulti-
Inatum to him containing the threat of
an offensive action. The detection from
the army and the recent joining OF the
poets forces of naval craft, it is believed
here, will hasten decisive action.
There were wild scenes in Flume Sat
urday when members of the autonomous
parties, who are d'Annunzio's sworn enc
niles were beaten by Legionaires In re-
prlsal for their having passed resolutions
condemning the poet. Socialists also
were attacked. The old National Coun-
ell has passed resolution declaring
that Its members will remain true 70
