Of the circumstances surrounding the

Peter J. MacSwincy, brother o.
the late Terrence MacSwiney, lord

stOwaway on the American steamer
West Cannon from Cork. Upon arri-
val of the West Cannon, immigration
authorities discovered the men aboard
and disregarding the claim of their
identify had them placed in Jail pend
ing investigation. MacSwiney car
ried d passport, issued by an Ameri-
can consul and could have made the
rip openly, but chose rather to stow
away with Lord Mayor O'Callaghan.

O'Callaghan is in this country at the
Invitation of the Committee of One
Hundred at Washington investigating
the Irish situation. O'Callaghan is
under guard furnished by irnmigra-

"The British would not allow the

ways and means for the handling oil
the present crop of tobacco as well
as to make arrangements for cutting

The call for the convention Friday
was made Independent of the Burley
Tobacco Growers Association. Presi-
dent j. w. Newman was firm in his
determination not to be wavered by
what is termed "mob rule" and de-
clared he would stand by the no-cut-
out plank on which the association
was founded. 1t was organized. he
said, to solve the growers problems
without the use of u cutout.
The gathering Friday will be con-
Quoted on the lines Of Il national con-
vcrtion. TO keep order, master at
arms will be appointed to patrol the

vcntion was held in Lexington late in
July of last year. At that mass meet
ing of growers Of three states ar

rary chairman and he served in that
capacity until November 30, when he
was chosen president until the first
annual meeting Of the membership
tie first Monday in March.
Hope that the Burlcy Association
would get behind the cutOut was OK
pressed by the members Of the count!
delegations who went to Lexington OF
Tuesday. They expressed the opin-
ION that, while tic lack OF present
organization would not prevent them
from carrying out the cutout, the
hurley Association was already very
strongly organized and that it woul'
be advantageous TO the growers if
this weic made the cutout organiza-
tion instead Of one formed on th,
,pur of the moment.

TO SPEND $4,000

Washington, Jan. 3-ffOpoSeu dp
preparation of $4,000 for congress
ional expenses at the Capitol-inci-
dent to President Harding's in

sition today in the Senate.
Senator Knox, chairman of the
Congressional committee in charge Of
the ceremonies, presented the resolu-
ton calling for $4,000 for review
ing stand in front of the Capitol, in
vitations and other expenses. 1t was
opposed by Senator Borah, who has
advocated spending only SO on the
Inauguration, and Senators Norris
and Jones, republicans, and Fletcher.
democrat.
Other Senators, however. declared
that custom should be followed in pro
viding for adequate ceremonies at the
Capitol.
Senator Harding, Mr.. Borah declaI-
ell, was opposed to "ostentatious dis
play" and would avoid it if he could
have his way. The Idaho Senator
predicted that Congress would be
asked to spend several hundred t|lous-
and dollars more, and that, with ex
penses of the states and civic organ
izat:ons, the total Inauguration cost
would run up to $1,000,0o0.
This would be a national embarass-
mcnt and would have to be answered
for, Senator Borah declared, adding
that, with million men out of en-
ployment, every economy should be
exercised. A Senator who had JUS
returned to the Senate after long
absence, he said, has predicted thG3
four million men would be unemploy-
ed by February 1.
Senator Knox insisted that the pro
posed expenditure was customary and
"tecent and customary"
eve have shorn the president of
arcient prerogatives," Senator Knox
continued jocularly, 'Hresident Lin
colin in 1861 turned and kissed 81
young ladies representing the g
states"
"Jeffersonian simplicity" was urged
by Senator Fletcher, and Senator
Knox suggested that Senator Fletcher
bring Jefersonianism down to dat
b.; reading the Expense account o.
the Presidential trip to Paris"
Supporting the $4,000 appropria-
ion, Senator Reed declared that tie
'Jetfersonian eruption appears or
,hc skins of some democrats only
When N the minority" He adoec! that
e desired to "exoneratc President
Lincoln Of the charges Of kissing 81
ladies'" adding that the affair was
public and without public expense.
Senator Norris proposed to cat t.
appropriation to $1,000, and was
supported by Senator Jones, Of Wasi,,
ngton. The latter, urging econom",
:aid that the feeble-sninded and the
schools in The District of CoIunb
