An echo of the Irish trouble was
heard in New York Thanksgiving day,
when an anti-English mob undertook
to sack the Union club on Fifth ave-
nue.. On the club building was flying
the American flag between British and
French flags, and the manager was
asked to remove the British emblem.
He complied, but later the flag was re-
placed, and then the mob attacked the
building, breaking all its windows
and destroying most of its paintings
and furnishings before the police
could disperse It.
The American commission on condi-
tions in Ireland is hearing many wit
nesses and has now decided to send a
special committee to conduct a first
hand investigation. 1t is made up of
Maj. Oliver p. Newman of Washing
ton. Rev. DR.. Norman Thomas and
Arthur Gleason of New York and ]. II.

FIGHT IN SENATE OVER
AGRICULTURAL BILL
Members Divided as to Increasing
Allowance for Agricultural
Experiments by $4,000.
staff Correspondence of Every Evening


STATE HOUSE, DOVER, April 9.
The Senate, by vote of II to 8, yester-
day afternoon, passed a Senate bill
appropriating S., 900 10 be expended this
year under the direction of the Division
of Agricultural Extension in experiments,
investigations and demonstrations in truck
farming in the State. Senators Brown,
Gormley, Latta, Long and Price voted
in the negative.
Senator Long opposed the bill because
he thought general appropriations. for
agricultural experiments are sufficient.
He cited general appropriations as
follows:
Last State appropriations for
teaching agriculture at Delaware College,
$1,000; State appropriation for agricul-
tural experiments along the du Pont Boule-
ward, $1,000; State appropriation for
other agricultural experiments, S5,544.51
Federal appropriation, s5,544.51; total,
s21 ,0So02.
This year-State appropriation for
teaching agriculture at Delaware College,
$1,000; State appropriation for agricll-
tural experiments along the du Pont
Boulevard, $1,000; State appropriation
for other agricultural experiments,
S6,610.76; Federal appropriation, s6,6l0-
76; total, So, ,22l 81
Senator Long said passing the bill
would make a total of s2l ,6l0.76 appro-
priated by the State for agricultural
experiments this year, compared with
SIS, ,544 81 appropriated by the State for
last year.
Senator Bennett stated the money spent
for agricultural experiments along the du
Pont Boulevard is wasted
Senator Alice declared the bulk of the
general appropriations for agricultural
experiments had not benefited agricul-
ture and asked what assurance there was
that the proposed appropriation would
be beneficial.
Senator Bennett said the additional
money would be spent only on truck
crops. He mentioned peas, which were
injured last year. Some persons thought
the injury was inflicted by lice, but
other agriculturalists differed.
Senator Alice stated money is being
wasted on agricultural experiments, but
he would vote for the bill Ito give one
more chance"
Senator Long declared it would be
another Sc, 900 wasted
When Senator Robertson asked whether
the money would be spent for canning lice
or canning peas his colleagues laughed
Senator Gormley remarked that the
prices of farm products had increased in
Wilmington after appropriations were
made for agricultural experiments, and
he wondered whether the proposed APP
priation would cause another jump in
prices He thought enough money had
been spent on agricultural experiments
The Senate passed the bil after Senator
Bennett, replying 10 Senator Hollett had
avnnssnnaI that tho axfr So,
is only for this year.
