De Valera Holds
Another Meeting
to Protest New State

Cork. Feb. 19-(By A. PA
striking feature of the meeting held
in Cork today under the auspices of
canon De Valera was the presence
of a large number of the Irish re-
publican army for the city of Cork
and from various parts of the coun-
try. who were assembled by COM
panies under their officers.
Donald O'Callaghan, lord mayor of
Cork, presided at the principal plat
form from which the speeches were
delivered. Mr.. De Valera proposed
the same resolutions as were adopted
at this meeting in Dublin Sunday aad
repeated virtually the same argu-
| ments as were then put forward,
declaring that Ireland was in greater
danger than it had been at any time
in $50 years. The Countess Markie-
vicz and Charles Burgess and other
followers of De Valera supported the
resolutions.
The train on which Mr.. De Calera
travelled Saturday evening to Coil
was met at the railway station at
Thurles by 5000 persons carrying
Sim Fein flags. Addressing the
people, Mr.. De Valera said he was
glad to see the republic was not dead
in Tipperary and that the people did
| not want the British monarch as
king of Ireland.
Arriving in Cork. Mr. De Valera
! was greeted by Lord Mayor O'Cal-
laghan and other prominent republi-
cans. De Valera apologized for not
speaking in Gaelic, declaring he de-
sired every Irish citizen fully to I'M
derstand the seriousness of the situa-
ton and fully to appreciate what
they were doing. He declared they
| were being asked to say that when
| four years ago they pronounced for
republic they were fools and did
| not realize what they were doing. If
an election were forced upon them,
| he added, he was sure that the citi-
zens of Cork would do their part IN
7 proving to the world that they still
stood for an Irish republic.
Mr.. De Valera challenged the lead
ers of the free state to frame con-
stitution proving their contention
that they could give to Ireland per-
! feet freedom and thereby let Ireland
know what it is voting for.
IF thief can make constitution
which the English king will not be
in," said Mr.. De Valera. lit may not
be very difficult for us to agree with
them.
Pointing to the question Of an al
tentative policy Mr.. De Valera as
serted that his task was the task of
any general with a stampeded army;
he had to rally the people ipto a
strong position behind the standard
of the republic: the same strong po-
sition they had held 10 months ago.
If that were accomplished the Brit
ish would be as anxious to come tC
them as they were last July.

Rev. c. o. Farnham Of Springfield,
Mass, was the speaker on Sunday af-
ternoon at the Strand Theatre. The
meeting was advertised as the accept
ance to a challenge and when the
speaker began his talk it was evident
that it was in response to the teach
ing of the Seventh Dav Adventists
that he was replying. Scripture was
read by Rev. Fl. l.. Skillins and pray
er offered by Rev. A. II. Graham. The
meeting was one-half hour late in
opening and the speaker commenced
his addrers exactly one hour after the
time for which the r-eetng was ad-
vertsed. The atmosphere was ex-
tremely oppressive and the value of
the meeting marred for that reason.
Rev. S. M. Wade presided and ad-
dressed TIE meeting briefly before
introducing the speaker. Walter Col
by acted as chorister and chori-s
singing, as well as solo and quartet
singing was enjoyed. Mr.. Farnham
made clear and clean cut argument
in favor of the observance OF the
present Sabbath day and his remarks
brought forth frequent commenda-
ton from the audience.

WOULD CALL HUGHES
HOME TO TELL ABOUT
ARMS MEET TREATIES

Washington. Feb. IS. (By \. P.)-
Despite the pressure of both Repub-
lican and Democratic Senate leaders
for prompt action, controversies are
developing within the Foreign Rela-
tons Committee which may lead to a
long committee discussion of the
Arms Conference treaties before any
of them is brought to the Senate floor
for ratification.
Some members of the committee
predicted today that the effort to Sc
cure detailed explanation of the ne
gotiations leading up to the Four
Power Pacific Treaty would in itself
become an element of considerab BILE
delay. Afterward, at least four pro-
posed reservations TO this treaty,
which is first on the list, seem likely
to come before the committee before
it goes on to the other seven confer
ence arrangements that await Senate
approval.
The party leaders on both sides of
the Chamber are satisfied that the
cisagreements and delays encountered
will in no way endanger ratification of
any of the treaties, but they are
watching with manifest interest the
attempt now in progress to consol-
idate into a fighting machine all the
Senate elements who arc dissatisfied
with the results of the Washington
negotiations. Thus far there is no
evidence that any closcly-knit anti
treaty "bloc" has been attained.
The first test of strength in the
committee may occur during the COM
ing week over a proposal to pursue
further the quest for detailed inform
alton regarding the four power treaty
negotiations President Harding is
expected to INFORM the Senate Mon
day, in response to its resolution Of
inquiry. that no minutes of the neSo-
tiations were kept.
But it was indicated tonight that
such reply might not be acceptable
to some committee members and that
an effort might be made to summon

ALOST INDUSTRY
ON THE KENNEBEC

The housing of ice on the Kenne-
bee for shipment by water to the
larger cities has gone the way of the
Gardiner saw mills and become
lost industry.
Time was when the nearby far
mers could count on several weeks
steady employment for themselves
and their horses during the winter
months in the harvesting of ice. Now
the local ice dealer, S. w. Talbot
furnishes the only means of this sort
for them, and this, of course is linn
tied. In the year 1897 the Ice Trade
Journal of New York published a
map with one of their issues show
ing the location of the various
houses on the shore of the Kennebec
and from this one may gather clear
idea of the magnitude of the indus
try. Here fortunes, as they were
reckoned in those days, were made
and lost, depending on the supply
and demand. The map embraces
the Kennebec from Abbagasset
Point to the southern boundary of
the city of Augusta. At the time of
it's making there were 80 ice houses,
varying in capacity and having an
approximate total storage capacity
of nearly one and one-half million
tons. Not only were these houses
filled to their utmost capacity, but
stacks" were also made from which
the first shipments were made.
Today, as far as the Kennebec is
concerned, the harvesting of ice has
gone the way of home spinning and
weaving and at the present day there
is not a single house on the river,
outside of those of the local dealers
in the cities along the river. The
Berry house, with its $4,000 ton ca
pacity was the last to go. When the
ice industry began its decline, the
cut made on the Kennebec depended
on the freeze on the Hudson river.
If the freeze was poor the cut on the
Kennebec was large for the freeze in
this section was always good ard
Kennebec ice had reputation sec
ond to none.
The prime reason for the decline
Of the industry is that artificially
made ice can be placed on the mar
kets at much lower cost than the
naturally made product and the
American Ice Co.. which concern
practically controlled the interests
on the river are now combining their
attention solely to the artificia!ly
made product. Several large brew
cries have been taken over by the
above concern and now are used as
ice making plants.
