tractor. was accidentally shot and
killed in his home here today by a
friend, policeman Joseph Hofstadt,
while bantcring about gun play.
Noticing Hofstadt and another
while they were inspecting a newly
built residence, Mr. Gels called them
into his home and said jestingly:
Il thought for a moment that YOU
fellows were crooks. It's a good thing
l didn't have my gun handy or |
might have taken pot shot"
We'll. YOU may have had a battle"
Hofstadt replied. playfully pulling a
gun from its holster.

ner stated that the shooting was acct

Waukegan, H., Mar. 4-For the

chief executive will go on trial dur
ing his term Of office in the court
house here next Monday. March 6.
Not since the impeachment and re-
moval Of William Sulzer from the
governorship of New York in 1913
has the governor of any American
state faced charges so serious or
which have attracted the widespread
attention as those pending against
Len. Small, twenty-eig governor
of Illinois, and his fellow defendants,
Lieut. Gov. Fred l.. Sterling and
Vernon Curtis, a banker of Grant
Park, Ill.
In Illinois 104 years of statehood
only two other governors have ever
been indicted while in office, and in
each of the previous cases the court
dismissed the charges without trial
because of their trivial nature.
Although Governor Small and
Messrs. Sterling and Curtis are
charged jointly with conspiracy to
defraud the state through embezzle-
ment of funds from the state treas
ury during the terms of Mr.. Small
and Mr.. Curtis as state treasurer.
only the governor will go on trial here

Irish Orators Open
Campaign for a
Free Irish State

Dublin, March 5.-(By The \. P.)
The crowds which gathered today
for the opening of the campaign in
favor of acceptance of the Anglo
Irish treaty We're notable not only
because of their vast proportions. but
the high degree of enthusiasm
evinced. notwithstanding the rain
hich turned College Green
into a veritablc forest of UNI
brcllas. the people stayed to hear
the speakers.
The orators, in addition to
Michael Collins and Arthur Griffith,
included Joseph McGrath, Minister
of Labor, William Cosgrovc, Minis
ter for Home Affairs, and other
| leaders in the provisional govern
| ment. Two platforms We're con-
stantly in use by the speakers.
With the exception of minor in
cident. when women aud girls tore
down a Free State tri-color. perfect
| order was maintained by the Rcpub-
lican police. The resentful jeercd
| and boocd the women for the flag
affair and attempts at interruption
| by a handful of the same women who
remained near the platform were
| drowned out by popular protest.
Mr.. Collins, in Il long speech, de-
| Tended the treaty. He asserted that
| once the Free States was establish
cd, the union of north east Ulster,
with the remainder of Ireland was
certain. He expressed determination
| to proceed to the establishment of
police force. despite the warnings
of cannon DeNalcra.
1t would not be a political force
| to protect any special section, but
would be for the protection Of every
| citizen in Ireland.
Mr.. Griffith made very brief ad-
| dress. He explained he was suffer-
| ing from influenza and declared that
he should have remained at home.
But Mr. Griffith and Mr.. Collins
pointed to the British troops leav-
] ing Ireland as being proof that Ire
7 land had not been betrayed.
The position in the northeast, Mr..
| Collins added, was not ideal, but
! there were only two alternative is
! sucs-coercion or Cancellation.
| Whichever alternative was adopted
must be adopted whole heartedly. All
were agreed against coercion, but
| the treaty contained forces for per-
suasion which would bring the north
cast in bankruptcy if it stayed out
of the Free State.
| The speaker asked why British
| agents were being attacked and their
! arms taken from them when there
was no war in progress, unless it
/ was intended to turn these arms
against the people.
The flag incident occurred at the
platform from which Mr.. Collins was
speaking. A large tri-color was just
about to be hoisted when a band of
! girls and women, members of the
Republican organization. rushed TO
the platform. seized the flagstaff and
pulled down and tore up the flag.
There was struggle for possession
of remnants of it. When a major
| ity of the women had been escorted
to the outskirts OF the crowd by the
Republican police, another flag was
hoisted.

Ri: me Postwar
Conditions for Big
Increase in Suicides

New York, March 5.-Reaction
following the war was blamed to-
night by the Save-A-Life League for
the large number of suicides in 1921.
twenty thousand of which were es-
timated to have taken place in this
country. The number of cases
brought to the leagues attention
was 12.144. of which $40 were
males and 1874 females.
This waste of life, the result of
recent disturbed economic conditions
and the aftermath Of war" said a
report by Harry NJ. Warren, presi-
dent of the league. has caused COM
mcrcial failures, loss of employment
and much real suffering. The
growing compleXity of our modern
life. the feVerish unrest, crimes.
divorces. questionable dress, unhappy
home relations, the decline of rel-
Gious sentiment, and other things
have caused dcranged nerves, de-
preston and less self control. With
improved business. which is sure to
come, the suicide rate will be reduced
and prosperity and happiness will
return"
One of the striking features Of the
report is the increase in the number
of suicides of children which was
Az in 1919, 1D7 in 1920 and SIS in
1921. There also were 500 war vet
Grams among the suicides last year
All classes of society were included
in the list of those who took their
own lives. There were 10 editors.
40 students, 81 school teachers, 81
clergymen, 80 brokers. 81 judges
and lawyers Sc physicians, mayors,
SIS heads of large corporations, rs
millionares, 80 wealthy women and
90 bankers, including 81 bank
presidents. The oldest suicide was
100. and the youngest 5.
All sorts of reasons were given by
the victims. One man hanged him
self because his wife was too good
for him, another because his wife
was spending all his money. another
because he couldn't stand the noise
of neighbours piano and another be-
cause his wife refused to kiss him.
One spinster took poison. leaving a
note that mo man in the world is
good enough for me-" and a mother
took her life because her son
wouldn't marry to please her. One
man left a note stating beware of
grass widows" and another killed
himself "for the good of the I. w.

British Premier's Offer
to Resign Held Up
But Not Withdrawn

Support to Coalition

london. March 5-By A. ny
David Lloyd George, the prime min.
lister, returned to London this after
noon from Chcquers Court, where he
spent the k-end. His only poll
teal guest over the period was
Charles A. McCurdy. chief coalition
liberal whip.
Soon after arriving at his official
residence in Downing street. the pre-
mier was visited by Lord Birkenhead.
the lord high chancellor, and Winston
Spencer Churchill, secretary for the
colonies. The three were in confer
ence for an hour. Lord Birkenhead
tonight gave a political dinner at his
town residence.
The disposition in political quar-
ters in London seems tc be TO be-
lieve that the climax in the crisis il
not likely to be reached before next
Tuesday. when Arthur J. Balfour Is
expected to deliver an important
speech in London. According to an
apparently inspired statement issued
today there is no change in ths
situation. Mr.. Lloyd Georges offer
to resign has been held in abeyence,
but not withdrawn. He still is await
ing assurances of the continued 10y
atty of the unionist party to the coal
ition government.
The premier points out that candi-
dates are being chosen in various
constituencies for the approaching
general elections who openly disclaim
Mr.. Lloyd Georges leadership yet re-
cciVc the approval OF unionist head
quarters, and he considers it impos-
shle to go on under Sucn conditions.
1t is further understood that the pre-
mier insists, in the event OF gem
cral election, that there shall be a
more equal ALLEGATION of seats be-
tween the unionists AMI liberals in
the coalition, whereas the unionists
claim the prcpondcrance OF the seats.
The situation is complicated by the
fact that while the unionist members
of the cabinet are earnestly urging
the premier not TO resign. the coali-
tiOn-lberal members of the govern
mcnt are almost as anxious that he
should resign.
