IRREGULARITIES IN BALLOTING.
Counting Began Before Polls Closed
in Many Precincts

Irregularities in the counting of bal
lots at the precinct polling places on
Tuesday have been generally reported.
1t is known that in at least a dozen
precincts the counting of ballots began
before the polls closed at o'clock.
Any counting of election ballots or re-
moval of them from the ballot box is
against the law. The reason it is for
hidden is obvious. in the effect the in
complete total might have on the re-
mainder of the voting or in the con-
fusion it might cause among members
of the election board. 1t is probable
that the only reason the counting be-
time and bring in election returns
as early as possible. Much rivalry
exists between the precincts over
promptness In reporting. One pre-
cinct, which prides itself on being
the first to report in every election. is
understood to have begun counting
before noon. 49,
Miss Eta CovelI, city clerk, said to-
day that she had heard of the irreg-
ularities and would investigate them.
She said that it was difficult to find
proof of such happenings. New cleo
ton board members. and often whole
election boards, do not know. that
the premature counting of votes is a
violation of law a
One of the candidates is understood
to have become exercised over the ir-
Irregularities he knew were occurring
IN one precinct He declared that if
he was defeated he would investigate
the matter. He was elected.

EASTER DAMAGE UNDONE
Rain in Central and Western Kansas
Is Reviving Frozen Wheat.

Salina, Kan, April 6.-The rain of
the past forty eight hours in central
and western Kansas. has improved the
general crop conditions. This is es-
pecially true of wheat, which was top
frozen by the Easter freeze.
The damage done to wheat as a re-
suit of the Easter freeze, cannot be
estimated, for a few days. Farmers
state that it will be necessary to wait
and view the reaction following the
rain. The moisture will revive the
wheat not killed. ~ /
Maurice McAuliffe, president of thsl
Kansas Farmers union, estimates thai
the general wheat acreage is one-tentA
less than last year. He states that
the Easter freeze and recent March
winds have damaged wheat at least
S5 per cent. He is of the opinion that
this damage extends thruout Kansas.
In several counties the wind and cold
weather damage exceeds rs per cent,
he says. So. =t4.t.r :
The farmers did not strike, neither
was any wheat plowed under this
spring, Mr.. McAuliffe says.

blackened, and they were further dis
guised by wearing long coats. They
called Lord Mayor MacCurtain from
his bedroom and shot him as he
teen minutes later. AS a testimony of
the esteem in which he was held,
practically the entire city and county
of Cork went to his funeral.
The American commission on condi-
tons in ireland invited his widow to
this country to give testimony as to
this tragedy and other happenings.
The news of this invitation got abroad
and an attempt was made on her life.
Her health, already poor, was COM
pletely shattered by the shock and as
she was unable to make this trip, her
two sisters, Susanna and Anna Walsh,
came to this country in her stead.
After finishing their testimony be-
fore the commission, they were invited
to many cities to speak on present
day conditions in Ireland, under the
auspices of the American Association
for Recognition of the Irish Republic.
Besides achieving a personal triumph,
they have won many members for this
fast growing organization. The Amer
lean Association for Recognition of
the Irish Republic has already passed
the million mark. 1t is a wholly
American, strictly non-Sectarian as
ISOLATION, formed with the single OBJ
ject of obtaining recognition of the
Irish republic, by the United States
government. 1t is moral movement,
and the ISOLATION is carrying on a
campaign of education on Ireland and
the Irish republic as it is today The
association will eventually have. coun-
ellis in every community and by means
of speakers and literature, will place
before the American public the actual
facts and the right of the Irish re-
public to recognition.

FARMERS STRIKE IS Off
Crop Reports Show Wheat Acreage
This Year Is Not Reduced.

st. Paul, Mimi, April 6.-The
threatened farmers strike had failed
to materialize today when crop re-
ports showed that the usual acreage
of wheat had been planted in the
northwest. Twenty to thirty per cent
of the wheat crop is already in.
Farmers, it developed. did not carry
out their threat to refuse to plant
large areas because of low prices.
1.-The only way the farmer can strik e
is with the hoe" said Prof. Andrew
Boss, agronomist of the State uni
versity farm
There was some pessirnism last fall
when prices were falling, but L be-
lieve farmers have come to realize
they must make the best of the situa-
ton. At this time of the year, a
farmer realizes he is not going to get
any more out of the ground than he
puts in, ara acts accordingly"

Years in France. Spain and Italy, and
was called back to ireland to take
charge of her brother-in-law's bust

Thomas MacCurtain devoted all his
time and energy to the cause of his
country. When she came to this coun-
try last December, she closed the fac

Sheriff Robert Miller testified that

been locked in jail and took them to
a point between Berryton and Pauline

tracks leading across a plowed field
near the house of John Heberling.
They compared exactly in size and

he was almost sure that the man
whom he had seen walking across the
field that evening shortly before the
fire was Bolin. Miller said while b.
