that such rates were granted during In"

VOICE OF THE IRISH PEOPLE

There IS n big now element in tue
Irish situation. and IL IS well for Ire
land and England that It has assert
ed itself. This new and powerful
element. which Will almost without a
doubt force a settlement between the
two countries, Is the Irish people. The
recent notes Of De Valera have been
ambiguous and vacillatins. and a break
down OF the negotiations has been
rather moro than threatened several
times.
At last the Irish people have grown
tired OF all this nonsense. Following
tho last exchange Of notes between
Lloyd George and De Valera. which al
most ended all chance of conference,
ths.re has come a unanimous demand
from tho Irish press that nothing be
permitted TO prevent thus meeting. at
which II is hoped some method or settle
ment will be found.
Tho Freemsn's Journal of Dublin. a
Sim Fein paper. says:
ITO allow such a position TO bs los:
would be a htdeous biunder and a Grim"
against civilization. We are expressing
ths unanimous wish OF the Irish people
when we assert method should be
found TO resolve the deadlock without
threat or force. and that the conference
should proceed untrammeled BY differ
enees that will almost certainly dtsap-
pear on tho day tho conference meets. =
This is good common sense. An Irish
republic IL splendid ideal. but It is
unattainable at present by any means.
Recent negotiations have shown tina,
Ireland can now get q full dominion
form OF government. which Is vastly In
advance OF anything she has ever had,
is u not better to take that much now
and wait Tor time 20 bring the rest. than
TO 70 on with disorder and hloodshed
70. no practical end: Apparently. IN"
Irish people have decided that il is. and
they do not intend to let In" ~m"'ional-
ism OF some OF their leaders stand In
the way.

vious article. and need not b ~
hashrd here. Suffice IL to say that ~ Q
hearing Of this case before the Pubic
Service Commission on September -.
1921 the consumers elected the infor-
nation from the gas company's own
witness that the United Fuel Gas COM
pany had declared IL per cent cash
dividend last year and a 200 per cent
stock dividend az we'll making q Sc per
cent dividend for the year 1920. The
witness also testified that for the first
quarters of the present year proper
tlonate dividends with those OF last
year had been declared.
Seems sur OF It's orouAA.
The law very definitely states that all
pubic service corporations are entitled
10 a Just return on their money inyests
I'd. and in order that the public should
not be forced to pay exorbitant and ex.
cessive rates for such service. and that
these corporations may be protected as
we'll the Public Service Commission was
created. The United Fuel Gas COM
pany Is such public service corpora
ton. and the dividends II has been en-
ab!ad TO pay are the best Of evidence
that it has far more than earned : just
return on the money invested by II.
Only a gas company on tho most friend
~ terms with the Public Service Com
mission and rather certain Of its
grounds could have tho nerve to ask for
a 100 per cent ratio increase In the facs
Of such enormous dividends a. It has
been paying it's stockholders since tho

COLORED MAN SHOOTS
AND KILLS DAUGHTER
Samuel Banks Travers Shot And
Killed His Thirteen Year Old
Daughter, Rosy Tlavers, Last
Night At Hoopers Island.

AS the result of an alteration
last night with his son, Oscar Trav-
ers, at their home on Middle Hoop
ers Island, Samuel Banks Travers,
better known as Sam Banks" shot
and accidentally killed his thirteen
year old daughter, Rosy Travers
the bullet striking her in the left
cheek and killing her almost in
stantly
The shooting occurred in the bed
room, on the second floor of the
dwelling where the family resided
and seems to have resulted from an
alteration that followed a conversa-
ton between Travers and his son,
Oscar a youth about eighteen years
old. The father told the boy to
spread the covers on the bed, and,
upon the boy replying that he would
do it when he got ready, the father
attempted to punish him but the
boy was too much for his father and
got him down on the bed. How
ever, the father, with his left arm
around the sons neck reached up
and grabbed pistol which was kept
hanging over the bed and attempted
to beat the son off, and in the melee
the pistol went off, striking the child
who was standing by the stove in
the room.
Immediately following the shoot
Ing Travers dressed himself and
walked to the Upper Island where
he gave himself up to Deputy Sheriff.

tody he was found by States Attor-

Cambridge Wins Again

Cambridge defeated Hurlock. ten
TO nine on the High School ground
Friday afternoon, the game being
played there because of the water on
the diamond at Athletic Park.
Because of the nature of the field
good playing was impossible and
this accounts in a large measure for
the number of runs scored.
Simmons pitched good ball except
in one inning when he hit several
men, some of whom were charged
with getting in the way of the ball.
The Cambridge boys outbatted their
opponents. but lost some Of their
opportunities to score by taking too
great chances on the paths.
