BELFAST. Aug. 23.-Police inspect
or Swanzy. against whom a verdict Of
willful murder was given by a eoron-
cr's inrv in connection with the assas-
sination of Mayor MacCurtain in
March. was shot dead yesterday while
proceeding to his home from church at
I.isburn. to which town he had been
transferred after the finding of the
coroner 8 jury. The killing of In
spector Swanzv was among the most
daring of long series. The cOngrega-
tions were leaving all the Protestant
churches at the time and converging
on the scene of the shooting.
The officer had been with his mother
and sister in attendance upon the serv-
ices at Christ church and had reached
the corner of Railway street, where he
lived.
Here three men, armed with rifles,
confronted Swanzy and fred on him in
the presence of his Mortified family.
Swanzy fell; to make doubly sure the
assassins discharged their weapons
again into his body.
Turning the assassins ran along
Castle street. The congregation was
inst coming from Lsburn cathedral.
Captain Woods. commandant of the
Lisburn branch of the Ulster volun-
teers, made dash for the assassins,
although only armed with astick The
assassins fired on Woods, a bullet shat
tering the stick in his hand. He was
not injured.
The murderers then fred at other per
sons who had joined in the pursuit, but
without effect, and jumped into wait
ing taxicab and drove off toward Bel
fast All the roads converging on the
city were promptly patrolled by police
and military but the assassins escaped.
The verdict at the MacCurtain in
quest found Premier Lloyd George,
Viscount French, Lord Lieutenant Of
r. l1rd, and others, including Swanzy,
fHilty of murder. Applause followed
the mention of Swanzy' s name, and it
was deemed advisable to transfer him

list center.
In some quarters here, the belief is
expressed that the shooting of Swanzey
was an attempt to intimidate the gov
eminent in connection with the incar-
ceration of Lord Mayor McSweney of
Cork

CANNOT REGISTER AS "2t PLUS"

In many states women are register
ing under the Constitutional amend
ment, without giving their exact age,
simply writing it as "21 plus" thus
complying with the letter of the law.
They will have to give their age
in this state. if they register under
the educational qualification. This
article Of our Constitution expressly
provides for the statement in the
blank application for registration, the
giving Of the day, month and year Of
birth, and the present age of the appli-
cant.
If they apply for registration under
the property qualification, they are
dispensed with giving their age. Any
woman who is so foolish as to with,
hold her age, rather than register.
ought to be denied the right to vote
The men folks have to do this; wo-
men folks will have to comply with
the requirements or deny themselves
the right to register and vote. We
may add, that rs per cent Of the wo-
men will have to apply for registration
under the educational qualification,
for not being possessed Of sufficient
property assessed to them to apply
for registration under the property
qualification section of the registra-
ton law.
