And Put On Special
Ship

HOLLY HEAD, Wales, Oct. 20
(by Associated Press. .)-When day
broke this morning over the Irish Sea
the steamer Baltimore with the body
OF the late Lord Mayor Terence Mac
Swiney aboard, was steaming south
ward to Cork. AT the same TINA rel
atives of MacSwiney, who had refus-
ed to board the special steamer. were
on their way to Dublin.
The shipment of the boiy was pre-
ceded by a violent scene in which
blows were struck and members Of
the lord mayors family dragged from
a railway coach at Holly Head sta
tion.
A letter signed by Sir Hanar
GREENWOOD, secretary for Ireland and
addressed to Mrs. MacSwiney and
handed to John MacSwiney, brother
OF the dead lord mayor, stated that
because the funeral in Dublin might
lead to demonstration, the govern
ment had decided to send the BODY
direct to Cork.
Mourners in the funeral party re-
fused to allow British railway por
ters to touch the casket and force
was employed in removing the body
from the station to the steamer. Sew,

box containing MacSwihey's coffin
placed on truck closely guarded by
police and wheeled to the steamer.
Members of the funeral party waited
until the Baltimore had left her dock
and then they went to the pier from
which steamers for Kingston depart.
When the funeral train arriyed
here about midnight a Gordon of po-
lice was formed around the platform
entrances, keeping back a GOOD sized
crowd of curious persons who boo6d
and jeered at them. Scyenty-six

Representatives of the MacSwiney

to carry the body to Cork by way of
Kingston. the Irish port near Dub
lin. but after conference with the
superintendent of police the station
master stated that his "orders are
that the body must be placed on
board the Baltimore for shioment to
Cork, and they will be observed" He
intimated that force would be used, if
necessary, in order to carry these
order into effect.

KIWANIANS FOR
PAVING GOING ON
Ask County Board To
Reconsider Action
Stopping Work

The Kiwanis club went on record
today at its regular weekly luncheon
as recommending to the board of
county commissioners that they re-
consider the order passed last week
discontinuing the county paving pro-
gram for the present. The action
of the club followed a general dis
cussion, most of which was positive
ly in favor of the work being CON
tinued without interruption.
1t was stated that besides there
being nothing to be saved in quitting
organization complete, there was
danger that the county would lose
some $65, 200 federal aid already al
loted to this county, which would be
spent elsewhere in this district if not
used here. 1t was also stated that
it was understood the commission
ers had taken their action without
consultation with the district or
county engineers or whether a saw
ing could really beeffected or not
by stopping work, or as to what loss
es might be sustained. One speak
rstated that one important consid-
Grafton in voting paving bonds was
that the project would provide en-
bloyment nslack times and keep
money circulating, and that to stop
the work now would be defeating this
aim absolutely, because of the slack
ness now faced, which had not come
heretofore
Another speaker declared his will
lingness to leave the matter with the
oheAlI1fo1x cfo M ~
that they were elected to handle mat
ters of this kind and that they should
not be handicapped or hampered by
suggestions from the outside. In
reply to him it was pointed out that
the commissioners are servants of
the people and that it is entirely
proper, in the circumstances, if their
action has been taken without proper
consideration, to make recommen-
dation to them that they reconsider.

lCANNOT REDUCE
COTTON BYLAW,
WRIGHT RULES
Assistant Attorney Gen
eral Gives Governor
Official Opinion

ATLANTA, Oct. 29-That the leg
islature would have no. constitutional
authority to pass a law restricting
cotton acreage for the purpose of
curtailing cotton production, is the
legal opinion which has been fur
nished to Governor Dorsey by Gra-
ham Wright, assistant attorney gen.
eral in response to a request by the
governor.
Many suggestions have come to the
governor to call an extra session for
the purpose of curtailing production.
These suggestions prompted the gov
ernor's request for legal opinion. He
did not believe it would be constitu-
tional for the legislature to pass such
a law, supposing that it were dispos-
ed to pass such law. The assistant
attorney general confirms his opin-
ion.
1t would be constitutional, how
ever, for the legislature to empower
the department of entomology to i'm
pose quarantine regulations for the
eradication of the boil weevil, and
indirectly the result of such regu-
lations might be a curtailment of
cotton production. But such a law
as this, Mr.. Wright says, would have
to be based upon manifest neces-
sity. and would have to be reasona-
BILE in its provisions.

His father is professor at New
