Dublin, August Members of the
Irish republican parliament met at the
Mansion house today to consider the
situation which has developed from
the firm stand of Prime Minister
Lloyd George relative to a settlement
Of the Irish controversy The message
from the prime minister arrived here
last night and its intimation that the
British government would not cOnsid-

the situation had become any more
delicate than ii had been since the

In our opinion, the prime ministers

The Irish Independent urged the
prime minister to readjust or modify

alternative would be a renewal of
war 'on scale that would appal hu-

LOCAL MEN HELD
IN COUNTY JAIL

Confession of Alleged
Auto Thief involves
Lakeland Attorney and
Others In Supposed
Conspiracy To dispose
of Stolen Machines

When Sheriff Poucher and Deputy
Dishong of Hardee county placed un-
der arrest j. NJ. Lee. Deegan Jones
and W. o. Murrell at Wauchula, they
took the first step in developments
that have involved j. c. Flynn and
i. Hart GetZen of Lakeland in the
automobile stealing that has been GO
ing on for months at several points
in the state. Lee has been resi-
lent of Lakeland for Il few months.
The llardee county authorities
brought their men to Barlow at
o'clock Friday morning and in the
Office of Sheriff John Logan, Lee de.
rided 10 make a full confession
Friday molhling ]. G.. Flynn was
arrested here on the strength of Lees
,Cniessions and r. Hart Getzen, who
was in Tampa. was arrested later in
the day on his return to Lakeland.
Flynn's home was searched Friday
and dies, stencils and the like were
found, which is thought were used in
changing the numbers of the cars.
According to Lees confession mem.
bers of the gang stole the cars, which
were then altered at Flynn's garage
and sold with forged bills of sale
giving the new numbers, prepared by
GetZen and Murrell, who are both at
torneys
Flynn was already under charge
of auto theving and was to have been
tiled in Tampa Friday, along with
d. NJ. Bryant of this city for the
tneft of a tampa car some time ago.
, T. Hart Getzen is young attorney,
who has been practicing here less
than Il year He is well-known. how
ever, and his many friends are sur
prised to know that he is under such
charges. A short time ago, Mr.. Get
zen claimed that his own car was
stolen, and offered a reward of $50
for it, although he did not notify the
police at the time. 1t is understood
that he collected insurance for the
car.
The accused men were at last ac-
counts held under $4,000 bonds in
this county and $4,000 in Hardee
county.
The authorities believe that Others
were operating with the Wauchula
and Lakeland gangs.
The system of stealing and selling
the cars was carried on with cOnsid-
cradle shrewdness. 1t is said that it
was the scheme to steal several cars
of the same kind at the same time. A
swapping of tires, cushions, license
tags, and the changing of the numbers
was next accomplished, apparently
good bills of sale were supplied, and
the cars were passed on to innocent
buyers.
Lee is said to be a comparatively
new member of the gang, having be-
come associated in business with
Flynn only a few months ago. Lee
and Flynn were arrested few weeks |
ago at Eustis charged with having
run down an aged man in Daytona.
The authorities suspected them of
having stolen the car they had with
them at that time, and it is said that
they were released from the charge
on the claim of T. Hart GetZen that
the car was his.

Of them had spent the night walking

the men showed signs Of festlessness
during the last few hours of their stay
here, there was no disorder. Little
groups everywhere were to be seen

Charleston soon after o'clock tliis
morning At the same time Gen.
Bandholtz was starting from Charles
ton to go over the line of march and
see that the army had actually dis
banded and was going home.
Charleston, w. Va, Aug 27.-The
miners had left Madison by special
train, and it was expected they would
lose no time in getting to the mining
towns and villages from which they
had set out more than week ago fol
the rendezvous at Marmet. They were
tired and weary after the long march,
ana the long wait in Madison where
Mr. Keeney arranged for the train to
bring them back to Charleston.
In spite of the fact that the march
was halted at Madison yesterday af-
ternoon, and that Mr. Keeney said the
miners would listen to his advice and
abandor the enterprise, disquieting
riunors began reaching Charleston at
an early hour and increased as the
day advanced.

touch with the situation, left Gov.

route over which the men had passed
to Madison. While latest reports from
Racine and Peytona, where the men
had camped, were to the effect that
they were on their way home, the Of

movement was progressing with all

reached United Mine Workers head

of miners were on their way from the
Winding Gulf Coal company in Raj

that the march had been abandoned.
During last night two men, carry

trict headquarters. They said they
were the advance guard of 700 union
miners on the way to join the men
at Marmet and that 23 men from their
local had come with them. Police re-
ported early today that Chesapeake
and Ohio railroad men at south

men, mostly armed, had come on \

after midnight. They were said to
have told yard employees they were

Your Luminous Watch Dial.

What do you know about the iumi
nous dial of your watchY Although
most of us are familiar with the luml-
nous dial, yet, as correspondent
points out, probably few OF us Kno"
what makes it luminous or why on oc'
casion it behaves so queerly. Perhaps
YOU have looked at your watch shortly
after your train has entered a tunnel
and have been astonished to find that
the dial has ceased to be luminous.
Perhaps you have kept an eye on II ana
found that it showed not a glimmer OF
light while your train was in the tun-
mel. WHY should dial be luminous at
night and not luminous in dark tun-
mel by day? The trouble is not with the
dial but with your eyes. In suniishI
the pupils of our eyes contract ana
shut out part Of the brightness; IN
darkness they expand and let in all the
light they can. But our pupils do not
contract or expand instantaneously;
they take Is minutes or even more to
90 from their smallest to their largest
size. At night most of us are usually
in artificial light, which is seldom so
strong as daylight, and consequently
our pupils have expanded good deal.
When we put out the light, therefore,
our pupils do not have to expand far to
enable us to see well in the dark. When
on the other hand we plunge from
broad daylight into a railway tunnel
our pupils must expand as far as they
can if we are to see anything. As we
have explained, that takes time--it
takes more time than it takes to 60
through the ordinary tunnel.
Scarcely anyone has gone into the
atre in the afternoon without wonder
ing why the place is so much darker
than it is in the evening. Again, the
trouble with our eyes. The pupils are
far more contracted when we go into
the theatre from the sunlight than
they are when we go into it from the
twilight or from the light of the eve
ming street. For time, consequently
we see better in theatre at night.
No soldier was permitted TO wear his
luminous watch on the back of his
wrist when he joined in night raid,
! for at close quarters the dial would
glow brightly enough to attract the at
tention of an enemy
Watch dials are luminous only when
the hands and the numerals are coated
with luminous paint, which is made by
mixing radium with zinc sulphide in
the ration of one to a million. The
amount of radium on any one dial can
not be measured except by the incred'
ibly refined methods of modern science
but it is enough to make the dial lumi-
nous. A member of Congress once
asked the chief Of the bureau of stand
ards in Washington whether he
thought he could take the little end
of nothing whitfield down to a fine
point and use it to poke the pith out
Of mouses whisker."
oh" replied the scientist with a
grin, that would be very coarse work
yery coarse indeedl"
The radium used in making luminou;
paint may amount in year to whole
grain. Even that is really a heavy
drain on our tiny supply. Luckily, sci
ence has discovered a substitute il
mesothorium, by product in the man
ufacture of incandescent gas nantes
