Sim Fem Paper Puts Up
f3 a f1OO on Riot Policy
By the Associated Press.

DUBLIN, Aug. Reinsurance
underwriters of Dublin to-
day asked and were paid G3
sterling per 500 to insure the
plant Of Dublin newspaper in
sympathy with the Sim Fein
against riot or other civil commo-
ton for three months. This is
FIVE times as much as would be
paid ordinarily and is taken here
to show how divided Is the best
local opinion on the question Of a
renewal of the strife in Ireland.
One of the underwriters of the
insurance is the proprietor Of an
other local newspaper which has
leanings similar to that of the
newspaper insured.

Special Despatch TO THE NEW YoHK HsaAlp.
Boston, Aug. 22.-SStrong exceptions
are taken by representatives Of Har-
ward. Yale and Wellesley to the state
ment credited TO Maurice Kicker OF the
United States Public Health Service to
the effect that race suicide Ia increas-
ing among college graduates.
Frederick L. Allen, secretary OF the
Harvard University Corporation. pro-
duced some figures OF his own from the
Harvard records to combat the statis-
tics offered by Mr.. Kicker. Mr.. Allen
said:
Mr.. Ricker's assertion would seem at
first reading to give the impression that
college students on the average have
less than one child apiece. This Is not
50 among Harvard graduates at any
rate. Among the classes 1880 at
Harvard, the last ten classes whose sta
tistics are available and may be con-
sidered fairly complete. the average
number OF men per class was GAS, OF
whom 1873 married and had 372 children,
an average OF 2.06 children per married
graduate, or l.55 children per capita for
the whole class.
The Yale figures for the same period
are similar. The birth rate among Har-
yard graduates declined during the last
half century. The decline, however, was
less sharp In the classes between 1870
and 1890 than 1t had been previously
and situation which Is disquieting a,
best seems thus TO be showing gradual
tendency to right ITSELF"
No figures on the subject are available
from Wellesley College. but Presiden,

SINN FEM MEETING
STOPPED BY POLICE

A Slim Fem meeting at 10th street
and Amsterdam avenue was stopped
last night by the police. who decided it
was likely to cause a riot. About eight
hundred people were gathered around
the speakers, who were being heckled
literally by the crowd. with catcalls
and jeors when questions went unan-
swered.
Police Headquarters was notified Of
the affair by telephone and seven
patrolmen were sent over from the
West Tooth street station. They dis
persed the crowd and told the speakers
the meeting was off. The police met
with no opposition.

Eireann to accept or refuse the terms
OF the Government. The comment on
the telegram by one Of the leading men,
bers was. Somebody in Chicago has a

The meeting tomorrow Of the Sim
Fem executive committee would seem to
indicate that to-morrows secret session
of the Dali will not be highly important,
as most of the leaders will be at the
meeting of the executive committee.
There are many rumors abroad that
opposition to the Dali Eircann Cabinet is
developing among the Deputies, but
there Is no confirmation whatever that
such a condition exists. Erskine Chill
ders OF the Sim Fem encourage was
questioned on this point to-day. but
failed to respond to the query.
