MOVE To RELEASE
S|NN FE|NERS IS
GAINING GROUND
English Military Authorities
Oppose Action Because of
Activity of Irish Army.

London, Oct. 4.-The movement to
procure the release of Slim Feiners un-
der internment is growing in strength
and insistency. according to advlces
reaching London The Irish nationalist
press is urgently supporting the move
ment, but, so far as is known, the Slnn
Fein leaders have made no representa-
tions to the government. the attitude
of which, on the question Is not known.
The military authorities. however.
according to dispatch to the London
Times from Dublin. are not willing to
have the interned men released, not
because they are opposed to peace. but
largely because of activity OF the Irish
republican army, which. it is asserted,
continues to enlist recruits and is drill
jng and marching them in many parts
Of Ireland without attempts at conceal
ment. according to advices from Dub
lin.
Incidents such as drilling of troops,
as Indicated in Dublin dispatches. are
in nowise rare and are well known to
the military authorities. The nuthori-
ties are not interfering apparently
agreeing with the Sim Feiners that
such operations are not technical
breaches of the truce.
The Times correspondent says, how
ever, that the authorities cannot be
expected to overlook the Significance
If these preparations and that it seems
unlikely they will sanction general re-
lease of the 1900 interned men. un-
less they obtain reasonable assurance
that civil warfare will not be resumed.

ORGANIZATION
IS ESSENTIAL
He DECLARES
Central Agency Will
Be Maintained in
Washington, Is Plan.
Colonel Arthur Wood
Selected to Direct
Affairs of Office.

Washington, Oct. 3.-Governors and
layers throughout the country were
asked by President Harding in pub
lie statement Monday to organize in
each community, machinery for the
correction of economic conditions along
lines worked out by the unemployment
conference here
The conference, the president de-
clared, had demonstrated that condi-
tions could not be met properly with
out such local cooperation. He an
nounced that central agency would
be maintained here under the auspices
Of the conference to give national CO.
ordination to the rehabilitation effort.
The presidents statement follows:
The conference which | recently
summoned to Washington to advise as
to the unemployment situation. has
demonstrated that an unusual volume
of unemployment exists, and that pend
ing the recuperation of trade the sit
uation cannot be met, in due regard
to our obligations and necessities, with
out a much more than usual Organlza-
tion throghout these states and NUM-
cipalties where unemployment has
reached considerable proportions.
Cooperation Is Needed.
"The conference has recommended
plan of organization which has had the
support Of commercial, manufacturing,
professional and labor representatives
of the country. 1t is highly necessary
that more accurate knowledge should
be had, through such organization, of
the volume and necessities Of the un-
employed. 1t is essential that the Co
operation of all sections of each COM
munity should be briught into action
behind such organization to provide
work and assistance. that we may pass
through the coming winter without
great suffering and distress. 1t is of
national Importance that every com
munity should at once undertake such
organization in order that the nation
may be protected as whole. More
over, the thorough commitment to such
task is sure to start a thousand ac-
tivities which will add to our common
welfare.
II, therefore, appeal to the governors
and mayors Of the nation that they
should take these steps recommended
BY the conference.
Asks Unity Of Action.
"In order that there may be unity
Of action by all the forces which may
be brought to bear. whether govern
mental or private, the unemployment
conference is establishing an agency
in Washington through which appro-
pirate cooperation can be promoted,
and through which reports on all prog
ress and suggestions may be given gen
eral circulation and cooperation. |
trust this agency will be supported in
this endeavor."
Final plans for the central employ
ment agency are practically completed.

Hoover is soon to make an announce

those made on more than 100 resOlu-
tions sent to the convention by local
unions throughout the country. Most OF
the resolutions went into the discard and
debate was permitted on only a few,
with most of the comment being con-
fined to the Legion resolution.
The committee voted overwhelmingly
not to change the unions present sys-

Among the resolutions adopted were
those favoring immediate nationaliza-
ton of coal mines and railroads. the
repeal of the espionage laws and
amnesty for all political prisoners
and self determination for Ireland.
The convention sidestepped taking a
stand on prohibition when the issue
was brought up by resolution favoring
light wines and beer. No action was
taken on these resolutions. the COM

statement that the prohibition question

acts Of individual members had Justly

legion members through force is in

punishment of its members who violate
the constitution and weaken the force
of the Legion and tend to bring it into

used for bad practice and being an
infant organization. we feel it unwise

American Legion as an organization

SUSPECT MURDER
AND NOT SUICIDE
OF BOY SCOUT, a
Body Found Hanging in Closet
Of Home With Hands
Tied.

Chicago, Oct 3.--Additional mystery
Monday night was cast on the puzzling
death of Samuel Burlington, ii year
old high school student, whose body
was found hanging in a closet at the
family home Sunday night with the
hands tied.
The police theory that the boy had
tied himself and then strangled when
he attempted to get free was appar-
emily disproved. The lad, member Of
the Boy Scouts, was an expert in knot
tieing, s. H. Giesy, scout master, told
Robert E. Grove, states attorney. who
has started an investigation. Mr.. Giesy
after examining the knots around tho
boys wrists said they were carelessly
tied and that the lad himself could not
have tied such a knot.
Questioning Of Charles Pinkham. the
boys step-father, his wife and Hugh.
the boys 10 year old brother, was
proceeding. The dead boy, it was as
serted, was one Of two heirs to
property left by his father and valued
at from 100000 to 100000, most of
the property being farm land in Okla

Weather Is Blamed for

Washington. Oct. 3-Phenomenal

summaries of American and foreign
production compiled for and by the

BY another freak, fruit crops. al

from cold in a season which has set
new records everywhere for solar heat.
This paradox was occasioned by the
fact that last February the sun got at
its work of bringing spring weeks in
advance of normal. and trees and
shrubs responded by budding out and
finally coming into flower and bloom
by March in nearly all areas where
fruit is grown.

and the agricultural department ex
perts assign the weather as perhaps
the principal cause for so per cent

live and thrive. Later. drought and
sun conspired to cut down production

Guessing at Cause.
As to the causes of the heat accum-
ulation. the weather bureau suggests
that the usual seasonal interchange Of
air between the polar and tropical re-
gions was this year badly disarranged
by atmospheric pressure disturbance
although any certainty on the subject
is hardly possible.
The decreased snowfall of 1921, and
the thinness Of ice on stream and lakes
allowed solar heat, normally expended
in melting and evaporation, to he stor-
ed up. the bureau says, in heating the
soil and atmosphere.
