 London Sept. 9.-An old, old woman stands waiting in little house in Charlevillc in Ireland-waiting to see her son whom she has not seen for seven years. She wants to wei come him to the old house in which he was born.
 But so far she waits and waits in vain.
 For the old woman is Mrs. Mannix and her son is the famous archbishop of the diocese of Melbourne. Aus tralia. Dr. Mannix made some speeches that the British government did not like. He had bitterly at- tackled England with regard to her policy in Ireland.
 He crossed over from America. His ship, the Baltic. was due to land at Liverpool. That great seaport has thousands of Irish citizens. They pre- pared to give him a great welcome. But the government announced pr. Mannix would not be allowed to land In Liverpool nor go to Manchester or Glasgow. Accordingly a fleet of destroyers met the Baltic and one of them took pr. Mannix off, landing him at Penzance, down in Cornwall. And he is still in England, although he still hopes to go to Ireland.

WEDNESDAY CLOSING
 WANTED YEAR ROUND
Clerks and Managers of Local Stores Favor Half Holiday in
 All Seasons.

An effort will be made by several managers of stores in this city to have the ssorekeepers adopt the We'd nesday afternoon closing to be ef- fective each week throughout the year. The clerks are much in favor of the half holiday and are not en- tirely opposed to a scheme now in vogue in Hartford which calls for the entire day of Monday for a holi- day. Some clerks and some of the local store owners believe that such an arrangement is a little extreme but favor the half holiday.
 The clerks advance the argument that the people have become used to the stores closing on Wednesday aft ernoons during the summer and they could just as easily adjust them selves to the closing throughout the year.

HENNERIES MUST
 CONFORM TO LAW
Health Board Chairman Finds Or dinance Is Being Violated in
 Numerous Instances.


 Chairman Frank Zwick of the board of health commissioners made person. al inspections this morning in a num- Der of back yards where henneries have been maintained and has found that the health department ordinance in that matter is being violated in numerous instances. The chairman has ordered further inspections and will issue orders to owners of hen- houses demanding that the chicken GOODS be kept 40 feet from dwellings, street lines or public buildings as is provided for by ordinance. In prac- tically every case. the doctor has found. the violation has been through carelessness rather than lack of suf- ficient space in the yards.
 It has also been found that many complaints anent garbage collections have been justified and condi- tions have been founI far from sat isfactory in this respect. Clean re- ceptacles placed in conspicuous spaces have been recommended by the chair man as a means of securing better garbage collection. According to the city ordinance, pr. Zwick says, it is not necessary for the collector to take the garbage if other debris is mixed with it. This has been found to be the condition in a number Of cases.

FIGHT ON
RATES
Supreme Court Issues Tenn
porary Injunction Against
Increases on Petition Of
Nonpartisan State Official

Bismarck, N. D., Sept. 1S.--Rail-
roads operating in North Dakota
must show the state supreme court
that they are entitled to increases of
20 per cent in passenger rates and
35 per cent in freight rates on intra-
state traffic. A temporary injunction
against the enforcement of the in
crease in rates was issued by the
court on the plea of William Lemke,
special assistant attorney general
representing Governor Lynn J. Fra
zier. The case was argued Sept. 10.
In his plea Lemke contended that:
/. If the increases are permitted
to stand, they will increase 'the al
ready unbearable high cost of living
and will affect every commodity con-
sumed by those who are already y
taxed to the limit for livelihood
2. The present 's.unlawful' intra-
state freight rates are made for. the
purpose of giving an advantage to
the '".big milling and packing COM
bines and other industries in Mime
apolis, ST. Paul and other large cities
outside of the state. Because of the
unlawful and unjust discrimination
in freight rates, similar industries
now existing in North Dakota will
be destroyed
Lemke plans to ask the cO-opera-
tion of the shippers, farmers organi.
cations and commercial clubs in the
fight to put North Dakota intrastate
| freight and passenger rates down tc
their former levels. slatEA4t5

remarkable discoveries" of "evi-
dence" tending to show the explosion
of a truckload of T. N. T. at Wall
and Broad streets as the result Of
a collision Thursday, was caused by
a bomb, were announced by the de-
partment of justice and private de-
tective agencies who are buzzing
about like bees here.
The latest discovery" comprises
some pamphlets with the rubber
stamped title Anarchist Fighters
on them, which the detectives assert
is ample evidence that this mythical
organization, blamed for the "bomb
plot" of May, last year, also directed
the explosion in Wall street this
week.
Another discovery" was the an
nouncement that some Of the oper-
atives had found parts of clockWorll
on a roof near the scene of the ex-
plosion.
A recent development is the
abandonment Of the contention by
the department of Justice officials
that the bomb exploded in the count
ing room of the Morgan offices.
They now admit that tne "bomb'
exploded outside the building.
To date 81 persons are known to
have lost their lives as the result
OF the explosion. 1t is considered
probable the death rate was higher
since, it is presumed, some of the VIC
TINS were blown to atoms.
So far the authorities appear to
have been unable to locate the con-
tractor for whose use the wagon

a pOst-mOrtem autopsy, per-
}fafrns1 over the body by Doctors
Donohua and Lhotka showed that
Walsh died Of hemorrhages caused
by blows over the head with some
blunt instrument, probably the butt
of revolver.
ut was one of the ranEest muir
ders ever committed in Silver Bow
county, declared one of Walsh's
cell mates in the Jail. sI've known
Frank for years. This summer we
worked in the hay fields Of the Big
Hole together. Frank was n good
wobbly. and I guess that's why
they got him.
No attention was paid to the
mans serious condition for Fl
hours, they say, and then Coun-
ty Physician Donohue came to
the Jail and dressed his head.
Tuesday morning Wa1sh's con-
diti0n had become so serious
it was thought necessary to
send him to the county hospi-
tai. About eight hours later,
according to the statement of
Walsh's fellow prisoners, DR..
Donohue remembered his pa
tient and returned to the jail,
and said he had forgotten all
4, about it, An hour or two
before Walsh was taken from
the jail, his companions say, his
mind cleared, and he was able
to tell them about his treat
ment at the hands of the Off
GERS. He admitted he was
drunk and that there had
been a tussle, during which he
was brutally beaten, over the
head. Before he left for the
hospital, he told them that his
right side was becoming para
lyzed, and that he could hard
ly move.
According to the statements OF
Walsh's companions, a colored man
whose name is withheld, Witnessed
the arrest. and stated that there
was a large crowd of people there
at the time, who also saw the Of
ficers assault Walsh.
''None of the other papers
published a line about the
MURDER" said one OF the men
to the Bulletin representative
this morning, t'and we want the
people to know how Frank was
killed."
The body now lies in Cassidy &
