CLAIMS BRITISH
 RULE ABOL|SHES
 IRISH INDUSTRY
TRepublIcan A. p. Leased Wirel

WASHINGTON, Jan. 21.- England is fostering religious intolerance and suppressing industry in Ireland in an effort to prevent self-determination Miss Louise E. Bonnet. a Protestant woman from Dublin, today told the commission of the Committee on One Hundred Investigating conditions in Ireland.
 Attacks by the British military on Catholic churches and on nuns and priests are increasing, Miss Bennett said, with the intention of reviving the spirit of religious intolerance as be- tween Catholic and Protestant with the view of preventing Irish opinion from uniting.
 In discussing her charges of the suppression of industry which she as- factory solution of internal problems, the witness described the destruction of creameries and other cooperative industries.
 It was a ridiculously foolish policy" she said, which permitted the de- struction of an industry that could sell butter cheaply to the English people who now are forced to pay exorbitant prices"
 Testimony in support of Miss Ben nett's charges was also given by Miss Caroline M. Townshend. Both are members of the Irish Women's Inter- national league, and they presented letters and documents to support their charges. Some of the letters, Miss l Bennett said, were from business men of Belfast in Ulster. and she added that their lives would be in danger should their names be published in this connection.
 Miss Bennett told of two recent al- l legged forcible entrances into Dublin nunneries, one of which was of an exclusive Catholic order, which ex- cluded even relatives of the nuns from visiting the building, allowing com \ munication only through barred doors.
 She described the functioning of the
 Sim Fein government and declared l that the success with which the pro- visional Irish republic. through its land courts. met the crisis from "cat-
 tie driving" in which the peasants
 drove herds from pastures and seized
 lands, proved that the Irish people
 could settle their own internal prob-
 lems more successfully than outside
 authority.

SHOW PUPILS BOAST IF
 THE PRESS AGENT

From the time honored pink lem onade to the snake charmer in the side show, from the ear splitting mel odies of the calliope to the one and only worlds premier concert after the show, from the lights at the box of
 flee to the flares that guided the en-
 training of the organization at the railroad yards, Phoenix took in" in the circus yesterday. The aggrega- ton was Sells Flotos greatest
 straight circus on earth" and its at
 traction was the same as has attend ed circuses since the day when Bar mum collected his first dime.
 The show was well received in
 Phoenix and with a great deal of req son. The street parade. to begin with
 the beginning, was out of the ordi-
 nary in that everything about it ap- peared neat and natty and prosperous.
 The caged animals were fat and sleek,
 with good fur and plenty of action;
 the horses were round and sleek and
 they stepped only like horses full Of
 honest oats can step, and even the elephaats, which in some street par
 ades show about as much enthusiasm
 about the proceedings as a Democrat at a Republican convention, dis played real pep as they ambled down Washington street behind the wagon carrying the blood-sweating hippopo- tamus. There was real paint on the wagons, and the uniforms of the at l tendants were reasonably clean,
 which is about as big a boost as any circus should want.
 The afternoon and evening per l formances on the grounds opposite | Eastlake park were well attended,
 with the performance being present. | ed with zip and verve which again 1 proved that the circus was just about i as good and perhaps a little bit bitter | than Phoenix usually sees. Of course,
 the trapeze performers swung through | the air in death defying convolutions, | with graceful drops into the big net whenever a slip occurred 2 the trained 1 animals went through sufficient | stunts to make the spectator believe that after all, there is something to | the Darwinian theory; the acrobats rolled and tumbled and jumped and
 curved in the air; the clowns made | the world a better place in which to 1 live with any number of splitting stunts. and the chariot racers swung | rattle and bang and swirl of dust as | have distinguished chariot races since Lew Wallace wrote a certain chap
 ter of Ben Hur.''
 | It was only circus day-but for the l children of the race, from s to SO circus day is still the biggest day | in the year. and none were disap- pointed when the pretty equestriennes
 rode into the rings and the tight-rope walkers danced on the wire yesterday

BARROWS STORE IS : ROBBED IF S16OO;
 WORK OF EXPERTS

More than s1600 was obtained by cracksmen who rifled the safe in Barrow's furniture store some time between closing time Saturday night and Monday morning. Liberty bonds valued at $1400 and $199 in cash was taken from the safe, and a cash drawer was relieved of S10 in change
 It is believed that the yeggmen en- tered the building through an up stairs window left open for the pur- nose of ventilation. The job on the safe denoted the work of experts. The dial was cleanly chiseled off and the tumblers driven in, permitting safe to be easily opened.
 Discovery of the robbery was made bv the cashier of the furniture com pany yesterday morning. The dial was in place and everything was in order so that the discovery of the rifled safe came as a big surprise Nothing in the office intimated the surreptitious visit and it seemed that the robbers knew exactly what they wanted and where to go for 1t as nothing except the safe and money drawer had been disturbed. Finger prints on the safe were taken by members of the police department and a securing search is being made for the criminals responsible for the robbery.

as to fire losses. They are extremely high as compared with former years. The per capita loss was more than double that of last year. With a per capita loss of 2.S5. which is extreme ly high, this would indicate that the citizens were not as careful as they should have been in their fire pre- vention work. It is imperative that we, one and all, exercise the great est care in keeping all fire hazards down to the zero point. As our city grows it is the duty of every citizen to be more careful and watchfLl. for with the growth of the city the ire hazards will increase and the danger of conflagration will increase pro portionately.
 We desire to thank the city man ager, mayor and commissioners for their aid and support during the past year and hope that the very cordial relations which exist will continue to prevail"
