Speaking for myself, rather than

that the Public Utilities Commission

our Commissioners may be freed from

give their whole time and energy to

Capt. Oyster also made mention Of
the various committees Of the board

SOUTH IRELAND is
5 PLUNGED IN GRIEF
Developments Expected To Follow
Death of Lord Mayor.-Cork Is
An Armed Camp.

Cork, Island, Oct. 26-Feverish in
terest in possible developments caus-
ed by the death of Lord Mayor Mac
Swiney of this city, which occurred in
Brixton prison London this morning,
is mingled with the grief in which his
death has plunged South Ireland. AL
though the people appear stirred to
the highest degree of bitterness, it is
regarded as extremely improbable
that there will be any outbreaks or
disorderly demonstrations in this city.
It is expected, however, there will
he a considerable extension and in
tensifcation of guerrilla warfare a.
gainst the police and military forces,
Sflich, anticipating reprisals, are
doubling their vigilance, especially
in remote districts.
Cork Jail, where a number Of hung
er strikers are in a grave condition,
regarded as extremely improbable
equipped with machine guns.
There is an exceptionally large gar
rilson here. 1t is equipped for any
eyentualities, has number, of tanks
md armored cars and is ready for
instant service. Military forces are SO
strong that it is considered improb-
able that any attempt at violence will
be made here. :. -. .....
1t is understood the Irish parlia-
ment had been making appeals to all
elements of the population to refrain
from violence. This is also believed
to be the policy of various influential
lenders of the Sim Fein movement.
Whether such counsels will be follow
Cd by the younger element or by
nembers of the Irish brotherhood,
sae of the most militant of Irish Sc
eret societies, remains to be seen.

GEORGIA OPPOSED
TO PEACE TREATY
State Democratic Convention Con-
demns League of Nations.-De-
nounce Clark Howell.

Macon, Ca, Oct. 26.-Declaring its
unalterable opposition to the league
of nations, and instructing Georgia'ss
senators to vote against the Versail-
les pact, but besepeaking the coun-
try's support of the Democratic NOM
inees for president and vice-president
the Georgia state democratic conven-
ton today adopted platform not far
out of line with what political fore
casters of the state had predicted.
The platform, which represents a
compromise between the ideas OF
Thomas E. Watson, nominee for the
sens tie, and Thomas W. Hardwick,
gubernatorial nominee, was unanim-
ously adopted without single change
being made in the original document
as it was drawn and presented to
the convention.
The high lights in the document
were it's denunciation of the league OF
NATIONS, it's failure to mention Wood
row Wilson except incidentally, it's
failure to endorse his administration
and it's pointed intimation that the
convention would displace commit
-
teeman from Georgia had it legal
authority.
!"We hereby declare our unalterable
opposition to the league of nations
brought back by President Wilson
from Versailles" read the opening
paragraph of the platform. In para
graph four, Georgia's senators are in
structed to vote against the league
in the following language: Z.
"Whereas the people have thrice
this year expressed their disapproval
of the league Of nations, we instruct
our senators in congress to vote
against its adoption. d"
I'm referring to Clark Howell, ma
tional democratic committeeman from
Georgia, the platform sets out:.
eve regret that our democratic ma
tional committeeman is holding the
Office to which the sovereign demo-
cratic convention of this state elected
another distinguished Georgian and
democrat; and while this convention
is without legal remedy, we hereby,
condemn and denounce such interfer-
ence with the choice of democracy OF
this state as being wholly lnjustif-
able and undemocratic." I
Other features Of the platform are
its demand for the repeal Of all war
time legislation, for the amendment
Of federal reserve banking laws SO
that it will be impossible to discrimi-
nate against the agricultural inter-
ests Of the, country in the matter Of
loans and its appeal for the support
Of Cox and Roosevelt, setting out
that peculiar conditions existing int
Georgia make it expedient that the
democratic nominees be elected.

FALL DISPLAY OF
FANCY FOOTWEAR
HAS SHORT VAMPS

Shoes showed little variation from
those of the previous season. except
perhaps that there was a somewhat
weaker tendency toward the use of
two-toned effects, very few of which
were shown. Conservative browns
and blacks for street wear predomi-
mated and some of the manufaetur ers
said that gray is likely to be in high
favor, although not many gray shoes
were shown.
The exaggerated.short French vamp
was conspicuousfy absent, but it's in
auence is felt in the fact that almost
all shoes, though cut on American
lines, showed a notable shortening of
yamp The French influence remains
also in the use Of the eiaborately cut
strap effects on evening slippers and
some street pumps
Cuban Louis Heels.
A novelty in the way of heels bore
the name of Cuban Louis, which
aimed to combine the virtues of both.
It is a high rather thin heel. but
though it is gracefully curved it is
considerably more solid than the or
binary Louis heel The baby French
heel is likely to continue the popular
ity which it enjoyed during the sum
mer; and a modified Spanish heel
about one and three-quarters inches
high, comfortably solid, yet grace
fully curved, is shown by certain man

IN its welcome by well dressed women.
Shoes for evening wear showed
many novel touches; and in this field
the two-toned shoe seems likely to
hold its own. Blue suede slippers
showed fancy gray suede straps; gay
silver cloth vamps were joined with
straps of demure black kid. There is
an endless variety of effective COM
binations made possible in this way. A
number of fancy materials, such as
Powered one-tone satins, metal bro
cades, also figured in the making of
the evening slipper.
Bead trimmings, If. rne way of shoe
fnishings promise to be popular, and
many novelties are introduced in this
line. Many evening slippers showed
touches of contrasting beads at the
top of the vamps or else on the straps.
Where buckles were used. there was
distince tendency to get away from
the time-honored square and oval eff
fects; and designers were most in
genious in the devising of novelties.
Especially effective were tongue eff
fects of solid beads, in steel, black or
steel and black, which, when placed
upon an ordinary pump, lends it real
distinction. Beaded rosettes in steel
and black were also very good look
ing.
Spats will probably .be worn to
some extent, it is said, though there
