DOMINANT AUTHORITY
IN IRELAND IS HELD BY
S0LONS OF Sim FEM
(By Associated Press)


DUBLIN, Feb. 6.-The Dali Eireann.
the Sim Fein Parliament in the minds
of an overwhelming majority OF the
Irish people, continues as the domin-
ant--the only legitimate authority in
Ireland. 1t is treated as an authorita-
tive body. None of the municipal or
county bodies which pledges allegiance
to it have withdrawn from that posi-
ton.
The Dali Eireann's instructions are
obeyed by these subsidiary bodies and
all dealings with the Irish local Gov
eminent Board, which represents the
British government, are barred. For
this reason the board is unable to
make it's customary audit of county
and city accounts. The result is in
creasing difficulty in every district.
Rate" or tax, collectors are faced
with two sets OF instructions-one
from British government represent
atives, or the Local Government Board,
the other from local Sim Fein a-thor-
iNy. "A mug bCtiSit oCSiCG, oCSi6aCo
to compel these collectors to obey the
law. has been unavaiiing. Obedience
of Crown instructions, in many cases,
would doubtless bring severe punish
ment; if not death, to the collector.
Tax collecting. needless to say is not
brisk. The balances in local treasur-
les are proving insufficient to enable
authorities to- maintain public institu-
tons. In Sligo, banks have refused to
permit overdrafts, and there is no
money to pay the contractors who are
therefore Withdrawing their services.
Patients in hospitals are without Suf-
1icjent food and the inmates of the
poorhouse are in similar plight.
The Chairman Of the Board OF Alder
Ioen approved the suggestion of Dali
Eireann that leading men of the city
be asked to advance $50 each to re-
lieve the situation, but there was no
response.
In Queens county. the greater part
OF the taxes OF the county, amounting
to about 100000, remains uncollected.
and the resources of the county are
exhausted, involving serious conse-
cuences to the lunatic asylum and
several hospitals. The county council!
at its meeting resolved to ask the
advice of Dali Eireann. They have no
doubt Of its ability to meet, and are
willing to act upon its instructions.
At Bray, an important seaside sub
urb within IL miles of Dublin, an at
tempt was made by a member of the
Town council to get out of financial
troubles by resembling resolution
acknowledging allegiance to Dali
Eireann, but he did not find
seconder.

LOOT|NG BY ROBBERS
IN SOUTHERN CHINA
RECALLS ROBIN HOOD
(By Associated Press)

PEKING, Feb. 7.-Looting by rob.
bers and levies by soldiers add to the
distress OF famine-ridden people of
southern Chilli, says a report by a mis-
sionary engaged in famine relief work
at Wei-hsien, near the Honan border.
The troops with their demands for
contributions! Of grain, fodder and
clothing are said to be worse afflic-
ton that the robbers. The latter are
described as emulating Robin Hood in
some respects in a recent raid at Fang
CHA ying, eight miles from Wei-hsien,
where the homes Of the wealthy were
invaded.
LAS the robbers went from house to
house, stores of grain we're opened UP,
chests of clothing broken open and
the poor were dressed and fed beyond
the style even of better days. Copper
coins and small cash were heaped up
in the streets and bartered at con-
siderable discount for silver dollars,
for, like their distinguished prototype,
the Chinese Robin Hoods are not i'm
PEELED by purely philanthropic impulse,
but are after plumber in the most trans
portable and convertible form. While
frankly aiming at the hons share, they
showed sympathy for those weaker
than themselves"

The soldiers, instead of checking the
operations Of the robbers. are describ-
ed as having an understanding with
them and cOnniving at furnishing them
with ammunition.

writer: then the soldiers make an

Fire Company, Citizens,
Join in Chase After Pig


CINCINNATI, O., Feb. 7.-""This lit
tie pig went to market, and this little
pig stayed home" and this is a story
about little pig that didn't want to
dc either and in it's efforts to get out
of saying home and going to market
caused Cincinnati fire department to
go changing away on fruitless trip.
The pig was in a pen in the Meyer
Packing house. 1t got out, and soon
had a throng of employees chasing it
madly around. The pig rebounded
here and there in the factory. finally
coming full tilt against an automatic
fire alarm. An engine company, hook
and ladder and the district fire mar
shall responded. Also a great crowd of
citizens, who for the time being were
disengaged.
The pig eventually was corralled,
with the aid of the citizens.

Export Buying
Strengthened Wheat,

CHICAGO, March 22.-(A P.)-
Export buying on a liberal scale lifted
wheat prices somewhat Monday but
demand slackened and grains were
practically wiped out. The market
closed nervous.
Estimates of the amount of wheat
taken. for Europe varied from 1900
900 bus, to double that total. How
much of it was domestic and how
much foreign could not be readily as
lcertained; knowledge that active
measures were being taken to facili-
tate passage of new emergency tar
iff counted likewise in favor OF the
bulls and SO did scantiness of rural
Offerings.
Buying power, nevertheless. became
almost exhausted after midday and
this fact led to some speculative sell
ling pressures. Favorable weather
and crop conditions were additional
bearish factors.
| Damage resulting from the elevator
Explosion here gave an upward swing
to corn and oats for a while but the
effect failed to last.
| Provisions were governed chiefly by
the action of hog values. which al
though at first higher underwent
lsharp breaks.
