Ireland Ends Duty at Polls But
Street Fighting Goes On in
Some Quarters.
POLICE QuELL RIOTS
Troops Prevent Attack on Sim Fein
sections-5oth Sides Accuse
Each other Of Violence
at Polls.

Belfast-The whole OF Ulster, which
has been seething with excitement all
day long over the election of candi-
only Unionists will attend, il they OBJ
tain the necessary majority-a fore
gone conclusion lis a regular babel
this evening, with extreme tension in
some quarters From early morning
1t has been the task Of the workers
of the Unionists, Nationalists and
Sim Feiners to get every one of their
supporters to the polls, with the result
that there has been an unprecedented
rush of motor cars through the streets
and %haranguing Of voters, raising pas
sions to fever heat.
Soldiers Aid Police.
In ali sections where Protestants
and Catholics live side by side there
have been incidents which required
the attention of the police. Ballymac-
Garrett, despite the fact that Catholics
were largely driven from its confines
last July, proved to be the hottest cor
ner OF the city. The police, reinforced
by soldiers in armored cars, are in
possession Of the streets.
Trouble was started when Protest
ants held a demonstration outside of
st. Matthew's Catholic church, and
was intensified when a Sim Feiner
raised a flag in a Protestant street.
Stone throwing and a few pistol shots
were exchanged before the police
broke up the crowds.
Sim Felners Protected.
The Sim Fein quarter here Is an
isolated one, so 1t kept the military
busy in preventing 1t from being in
vaded.
In North street, which connects Pro-
testant Shankhill road with Royal ave-
nue.. Belfast's main street, there is an
other small colony of Sim Feiners,
who were also flying their colors de-
spite the overwhelming number Of
their opponents. and a party OF black
and tans, backed by the police, had
all they could do to prevent the Pro-
testants from crossing the border
line.
Violence Is Alleged.
In Lisburn and County Down the
Sim Feiners allege that their watch
ers were driven from the polling
booths and motor cars taken from
their canvassers. The other side
charges similar treatment in the Sim
Fein districts.
A number of "Covenanters." men
who pledged themselves in 1914, when
Sir Edward Carson was raising his
army, never to consent to home rule
in any shape or form, abstained from
voting on the ground that to vote for
members Of the Ulster parliament
would be to break their pledges.

100000 Voted for Retention of
700 Enforcement Agents
Until July /.
KRAMER IS ATTACKED
Commissioner Violated Penal Provision
Of Law by Increasing Deficit and
liable to Jail Sentence, Says
Chairman Good.

Washington-After heated discussion
Of the prohibition question during
which Commissioner Kramer was bit
terly criticized and as vigorously de-
Tended, the House voted an additional
5000, 900 for enforcement of the Vol
stead act until July /.
Representative Volstead proposed
the increase in the total of the defcien-
cy appropriation bill, to permit reten-
ton of eco prohibition agents, who Mr..
Kramer had announced would be drop
ped for the remainder of the fiscal
year, because of shortage of funds.
Vote Is IT to SO.
The Volstead amendment was adopt
ed, II to 3S, less than one-fourth OF
the House membership being on the
House floor at the time, but another
vote on the increase can be demanded
before the bill is passed.
Even the members who favored the
amendment, however, doubted whether
1t would AFFORD relief in time to be of
much value, inasmuch as the bill after
passage by the House must go to the
Senate.
Senator Good Of the appropriations
committee, said Mr.. Kramer had VIC
lated penal provisions of law by incur

Just as much as ~bootleggers," he de-
clared, adding that S. 00,0 900 already
had been appropriated for prohibition
enforcement during the current fiscal
year.
Representative Madden, Republican,
Illinois, said Mr.. Kramer should have
appealed for funds to Congress through
the Secretary of the Treasury instead
of through the newspapers and assert
ed that he ought to be discharged"
Mr.. Kramer, on the other hand, was
defended by Representative Byrns,
Tennessee, ranking Democrat on the APP
preparations committee, as a conscien.
tious official doing his best to enforce
the law.
voIstead Defends Kramer.
Mr.. Volstead also defended Mr.. Kra-
mer's administration. Declaring no es-
innate for additional funds for prohibit
tion enforcement had been submitted
to the appropriations committee, Mr..
Byrns said that if the Secretary of the
Treasury had requested funds he would
have gotten all he wanted.

PIPP'S WEEKLY.

We are pleased to make note
of "Pipp's Weekly" published by
Mr.. Pipp, editor of the Dearborn
Independent, before it embarked
upon it's campaign of Jew-bait-
ing. "Pipp's Weekly" deals with
Ford's ANTI Jewish activities in
a way that will appeal to every
fair minded person. 1t is writ
ten in gentlemanly way for gen
tlemanly readers quite regardless
of the treatment deserved by the
one whom it criticizes. It's tone
is so fair and convincing that no
one can read it with indifference.
1t doesn't scold or rant or call
names, but rather deplores and
pltles the sheer waste and mis-
use of forces and funds that
could have brought much good.
AS one reads it, one feels that if
Ford really were permitted by his
sinister hirelings to read such
sorroWtul comments on his lapse
from the better path, he would
even now change heart, and call
a halt to the evil work that is
done in his name. No cause can
suffer by being presented in a
gentlemanly way, and even coun-
teracting Ford's propaganda can
be better done in the calm, sane
style that Mr.. Pipp is using.
More strength to his pen!

On Sea s Floor

ElRENCH scientists are proposing to
= build a submarine boat for the pur-
pose of exploring the sea at depths up
to sixty fathoms, or 300 feet.
The craft planned is of small size,
only sixty feet long, and is to be built
especially to: resist pressure. With this
idea in view, its hull will be circular,
in section. and to enable it to rest COM
fortably upon the sea floor it will have
two keels.
Obviously it could SO rest only in
comparatively shallow waters, such as
those of the North sea. which is a vast
pond not exceeding thirty fathoms in
depth over the greater part of its area.
The proposed study is expected to
furnish,information that will be of some
Observation-Disclosures. inasmuch as nearly
all of: the fishes that supply foou for

they live on, such as ~crustaceans and

THERE are some days when even the

sue his favorite sport, the weather not
permitting.
But this difficulty is happily over-
come BY the new invention of George
Sochurek, a New. Yorker, who has pat
ented What he calls an ''indoor golf
course" suitable for use in. any fair
sized room.
He claims that. with the help of bis
ingenious .c~ontrivance, golf may be
played indoors with as much energy
and skill as if the player were operat.
ing on a full sized course under the
blue sky" What golf fan will not sit
up and take notice when he reads that?
The most important feature of the
device is a rectangular sheet of cotton
fabric stretched vertically in a frame,
the latter being steadied by readily
adjusted guylines fastened to hooks in
the walls. This sheet is supposed to
represent the course. 1t has a roller
at the top, just like an ordinary window
shade roller except that one Of the
locking pawls is lacking, so that the
sheet has always a tendency to roll up
and keep taut.
Now, then. The player places his
ball upon an extemporized tee. and
drives it at the sheet. Its impact causes
the roller to uuroll a short distance,
according to the strength Of the blow
given.

THE largest and most formidable gun
1 ever turned out by our War De-
partment has just been completed, 1t
is a new type of 1S-inch rife and was
built at the W'atervliet IN. 70 Ar
senal.
1t is longer and more powerful than
any gun hitherto built IN this country.
It weighs 34O, 900 pounds, not including
the carriage, and will throw a 240O-
pound armor piercing shell twenty five
miles. The projectile, inpelled by a
charge Of $50 pounds of smokeless pow
der, will leave the muzzle with a We
locity of more than half. a mile. per
second.
The carriage, of "disappearingn pat
tern, was built at Watertowln, Mass.
1t weighs $50 tons and is SO contrived
as to permit the gun to be aimed at any
pointof a complete circle, with a maxi
mum elevation of 80 degrees.
The great gun is of the new type
designed for our coast defense fortresscs.
When emplaced in its pit it will be
protected by a parapet of concrete and
sand. After being discharged it will
sink twelve feet below its firing posi-
ton to be- reloaded; and while thus
recoi]ed it can be aimed so as to be fred
the instant it rises above the parapet.
The energy of the recoil will be abb
sorbed principally in raising a counter
weight Of 313 tons. The gun and ro-
tating parts of the carriage weigh 100
TONS. yet it can easily be turned in any
