REPORTED AS DYING

Cork, Sept. 14.-(By The Associated
Press)-fhe prison physicians today
Informed the Associated Press that
among the hunger striking prisoners
in Cork jail there were no cellapses
during the night, but that the eondi-
ton of Sean Hennessy and Kenny was
critical this morning and that all the
hunger strikers had been entered in
morning medical report as dying.
Kenny, unlike the others who are
young. is a man of forty two. He has
seven children and his wife is i'll.
which is causing Kenny anxiety and
lowering his morale.
Hennessy is still in a half-conseious
condition. All are more or less coma
tose, but retain, according to the doe
tors "a blurred perception of outside

Portland Gas Co.
Seeks to Boost Rates

Portland, Me-, Sept. 1.-THE Port
land Gas Light Co. will appear as COM
plainant against itself at a hearing
here next week, the allegation being
that rates provided for it in the con-
tracts between itself and the West
Brook Gas Co. and the Municipal Pow
er & Light Co. of South Portland are
unjust, unreasonable and unlawfully
discriminatory.
The Public Utilities Commission is
asked an Investigation and such de-
erees as the law requires.
The reason fer the procedure is that
the gas light company asked for an
increase in lights some time ago and
at hearing in June it developed that
these tive large consumers were being
furnished gas at less than present act
ual costs, because of contracts made
in 1910. An attempt to make a new
rate by negotiation failed and so the
new appeal was made.

The little army of fair officials, and
the larger army of exhibitors, took

it is pretty hard to be good-natured

Most of the Midway tents had been
pitched-but they were not opened in

on yesterdays election in Maine,
George w. White. chairman of the
Democratic National committee. to-
day issued the following statement:
This is the Republicans day of re-
joicing. They planned, labored and
paid for it, and | would not by any
utterance of mine rob them of any of
their need Of joy With a splendid
organization and with the expendi-
ture of every effort possible to great
finances, they prepared the Republi-
can State of Maine for this state elee-
ton in the hope of persuading the
country that the trend is heavily Re-
publican in the national race.
Had the Democratic party been
presented the same opportunity in a
state where the trumpet call of de-
mocraey means as much as the clar-
ion of Republication in Maine, we
should have made as nearly the same
efforts possible with the same psych-
ology in mind.
I'VE shall have votes for the league
in November from thousands of the
men and women who supported Col.
Parkhurst. On a. certain morning in
November, our time for rejoicing will
come and in the meantime we gaze
cheerfuliy upon teday's Republican
demonstration and do not begrudge to
them at ALL

Springfield voters would be able to
discriminate between those candi-
dates who speak in high sounding
words and sweeping generalities and
those who speak with direetness and
give facts" to discredit the Wilson

work of the Republican campaigns.
He cited history to show that Wash

great men, have been the object of
similar concerted attacks and Wilt
