BY j. W. T. MARTIN

Omitted Press staff Correspondent

senate today tabled the question OF
Irish independence along with the
whole question of self-determination
for subject peoples. 1t voted 81 to Fl
against Senator owens reservation
stating that the United States under
stood the British protectorate over
Egypt would be ended. This reserya-
tion carried an amendment regard
ing the Irish republic.

tion with grave concern and will con-

SONS AND DAIJCHTF1 <ERIN
DON SHAMROCK r. TODAY Is
MARCH l7,-ST. PATRICK'S OWN
Missionary Returned to Little
Green Isle After Escape From
Slavery and Used Three
Leaves to Explain Trinity.

Sons and daughters of Erin are to-
day commemorating the good St Pat
rick by wearing the shamrock or a
knot of green. for the day is March II
and is st. Patr!cl,'s own.
st. Patrick, by the way. was not a
native lrishman. In one of the in
cursions of the Scots and Picts upon
the neighboring Roman province south
of the wall Of Severus, in AL a. D.. a
youth of Is was with many others
carried away and sold as a slave on
the opposite coast of Ireland.
He was the son of the deacon CAL
purnius. and the grandson OF the
priest Potitus. The future apostle re-
manned in hard slavery for six years,
tending cattle. but giving much time
to prayer and meditation.
Later he escaped, but the memory
of Ireland was hard to efface and his
tory says that he conceived the idea
of returning to convert the Irish. Aft.
er few years of preparation for the
priesthood, during which time he
dreamed many dreams in which the
Irish asked him to return as n mis-
sionary, he returned to ireland.
st. Patrick, according TO history,
met with great success as a mission
airy. Tradition says that he used the
three-leaved shamrock to explain the
Trinity to converts. He was made Il
bishop in 441 A. d.
There is no historical corroboration
that st. Patrick caused the banish-
ment OF snakes from lEeland. yet it Is
true that the reptiles are rare on the
little green isle"

CHARLES HOACLAND PAINFULLY
BURNED IN ATTEMPT TO CAST
FLAMING FILMS FROM THEATER
Damage Estimated at $500 is
Done to Temple Building
When 5 O'clock Blaze
Spreads and Water DrencheS

charles Hoagland was badly burned
about the face and hands. several reels
OF motion pictures were destroyed and
damage estimated at $500 done to the
Temple building when a fire starting
in the operating room of the Arcade
theatre at 5 o'clock Tuesday afternoon
spread from the fireproOf room.
Smoke and water damage to three
floors and the partial destruction of
tho motion picture machinery make
up the chief items of loss.
Mr.. Hoagland, operator at the Ar
cade. was sent to St. Anthony's hospital
for treatment, where it is reported
that his burns are painful but not
dangerous, He was injured in at
tempting to remove the highly in
flanmable films from the fireproof
room Had he left the burning film in
the room and closed the doors. the
fire could not have spread to the rest
of the building, Fire Chief Ringold
said today.
Through a misunderstanding at fire
headquarters, the equipment answer
ed the alarm at box 13, Court and
johnson streets. instead of at the cor
ner of Main and Webb. The delay did
not make a difference of 500 in the
loss. Chief Ringold estimates, mas
I.luch as Mr.. Hoadiand threw the
burning films out against a partition
instead of confining the blaze in the
fireproof room.
A few persons in the theatre when
tho film caught fire made their exit
without confusion but others in Off
ces above the theatre were obliged TO
remain in rooms partly filled with
smoke until the firemen had the blaze
under control. Records of the Pendle-
ton Amusement Co, owners of the
;.ity's three picture houses, were re-
moved undamaged from the office
which adjUins the operating room.
Examination of the premises this
morning disclosed that the interior OF
the theatre will require refinishing.
seats and floor were not damaged but
The walls were scorched and in places
drenched The machinery in the pro-
jectina, room may not be beyond re-
pair. Broken glass in the office rooms
of the building above constitutes the
chief loss there.
The Bungalow pool hall and bowling
