man in the strife between the dis
cordant factions in ireland is announc-
ed. Kitty MacCarron, who was about
IS years old, lived with her parents,
octogenarians, in wild, mountainous
part of the country. About midnight
a knock was heard at the door, and
a party of masked men entered and
informed the victim they had come
for her. The woman struggled in
vain; the assassins fastened her hands
behind her back and led her pleading
pitifully down lane about a mile to
the main road, by the side of which
the body was afterwards found with a
bullet wound through the cheek, which
is the customary sign of Sim Fein
executions.

DRY Law TO Be FOUGHT
Maryland Congressman Opens
Attack on voIstead Act.
Prohibition "un.Amertcan In Prtn.

Who Won French Cross.

Washington battle to bring
back beer and light wines will be
fought to q finish in this Congress, it
was declared by both vets and drys.
The fight will come to a head In the
House as: soon as the tariff and taxa.
ton program can be cleared aside.
+. Preliminary preparations for the
clash were commenced by the drys,
whose ranks were bombshelled by a
new member from Maryland, Repre-
sentative Hill Of Baltimore, who unex.
pectedly tossed in a bill to repeal the
Volstead act.
-: Representative Volstead accepted
Mr.. Hills challenge. He is chairman
Of judiciary committee that will report
on the repeal bill. He made it clear
that while: hearings will be full and
fair, every effort will be made by him
to throttle the wet bill.

eran who won the Croix de Guerre at
Verdun and went through the Meuse-
Argonne offensive with distinction.
II want to repeal the Volstead law
principally because it is an utterly un-
American principle of government" he
said.
Mr.. Hill believes he will succeed for
two reasons:
II. My bill, if passed, will not bring
back the saloon, but would allow each
state to have beer and light wines if
the people so voted.
q. The prohibitionists themselves
never thought prohibition would go to
the. extreme it has. They never would
have voted for it if they had known
how far it would reach. Most of them
are ready now to get away from the
drastic limits of the present"
Mr.. Hill, who was for five years
United States district attorney at Bal
timore, added that the Volstead act is
so widely and flagrantly violated that
it is undermining respect TO-, all laws
throughout the country
