The center of the rioteous area ap-
pears to be in the district Of North
Ponani, thirty eight miles southeast
of Calicut. Many clashes with mill.
tary forces have occurred. The out
break is attributed in the British In
dian quarters to the work of agita-
tors among the natives In the dis
trict.

rived in the Malabar district of Brit

BOTH MEN EXHONORATED
Base Ball Player and Secretary of
Team Get Into Mixup

st. Paul, August 25.-Bill Morris
cite, the Toledo pitcher who staged
wrestling match with E. w. Wicks,
secretary of the Mud Hens, after an
argument in the lobby of a local hotel
Tuesday night, was at the ball park
and witnessed the game from the
stands 1t was reported that Norris
cite had been suspended and that he
would leave for home instead of &C
companying the club to Kansas City.
Neither of the principals showed
any signs of having been engaged in
mortal combat and Jim Thorpe, whU
pulled them apart, said he let the
fight go as far as any referee in the
world would have permitted it to con-
tinue. According to ball players, Hr.
Wicks was highly incensed at news
paper reports which intifnated that
he was not on top when the separa-
ton was affected.
The accepted version Of how the
encounter started is that Morrisette
demanded his current pay when or
dered back to Toledo and was re-
fused by the secretary.

yesterday. The lack of enthusiasm
among the spectators was notable

Count Won Waldersee was the prin-
cipal speaker at the demonstration,
which was characterized by radicals
as a "monarchist attempt to revive
the dying war spirit" His address
was frey in character, the old mill

together for the kaiser and tho
fatherland. Hatred will stand guard

London, August 25.-The reply OF
the Sim Fein to the offer of the Brit
sish government of dominion status
for. Ireland is on the way from Dub
lin to London by messenger, It was
announced here today.
London, August 25.-The reply of
the Irish republican cabinet to, Prime
Minister Lloyd Georges letter of
August 13, in which Mr.. Lloyd George
denied Ireland's right to secession
and declined to refer the question of
the relations, between Southern and
Northern Ireland to foreign arbitra.
ton, was received at No. 10 Downing
street, the prime minister's official
residence, at one O'Clock this after
noon.
The reply was presented by Com
mandant Robert Barton of the Irish
republican army. He was accompanied
by Art OBrien. president of the Gaelic
League in London, and by Command
mandant Barton who, ON August II,
brought the reply of Eamonn De
Valera to the prime minister's original
offer of dominion status to Ireland.)
1t is learned that official circles do
not regard today's communication as
terminating the negotiations, although
the contents Of the reply are being
withheld pending a cabinet conference
ana an agreement between the Irish
be issued to the press. ,
Dublin, August 25.-Despatch of
the Sim Fein reply to Great Britain's
oner of dominion status for Ireland
as a basis for the settlement of the
Irish controversy was believed near
when the Irish republican parliament
met in secret session here today. 1t
was understood the parliament would
receive the completed draft of the
reply early in today's meeting, and
to London by special messenger to-
night
Assertion had been made in some
quarters that the reply would not &C
cept the terms of settlement laid
down by Prime Minister Lloya
George, but would not utterly reject
them. 1t was intimated that the note
to the British government would de-
velop arguments relative to the sit
uation which would probably result in
| new negotiations, and there seemed
to be a disposition to look with opt
imism over the probability of renewed
onSSo oOI"CcH LOuuOu ana DuD-
lin. There was reason to believe
that the truce in Ireland would be
extended until an agreement was
| reached. p. -
The Sim Fein executive committee
worked with Eamonn De Valera and
his cabinet yesterday in drafting the
Irish reply. Members Of this com
mittee turned to their districts last
night to keep the organization active,
but under instructions that the Irish
republican army must not break the
truce.
The newspapers, while not com.
menting on the reply, today took
the view in their news columns that,
while it. wuold reject the British
terms, it would leave the road open
for further negotiations.
