They had dram closer together
during this friendly exchange. Again
their eyes met for an instant, then
he surveyed her sharply from head

ing on his stick.

There's a path through the corn that
Mrs. Owen let's me use. They'll be-

why not follow the path to the

The path was not wide enough for

When they reached the lane they
walked together until they came to
the highway. which they followed to
the house. An oil lamp marked tho
walk that led through Mrs. Owens
flower garden.
Aren't you coming in. Mr.. Bas-
sett?" asked Sylvia. as they paused.
Her hand clicked the latch and the
little whitewashed gate swung open.
In the lamplight their eyes met again.
I'm sorry. but must go homo.

The Young Peoples Forum held its
initial meeting Of the season last

Ravitch and Messers Saul Halpern,

INDICTED HENCHMEN OF NEW
BERRY GET FEDERAL JOBS

Senator Newberry's henchmen- in
Michigan who were indicted with him
are now receiving their rewards; in the
way Of appointments to prominent
federal positions, according to a state
ment made recently in the Senate by
Senator King (Dem. Utah), who said:
1T have on my desk two Of the let
tiers to which referred. One Of them
states that Mr.. Henry c. Myers; Of
Caro-, Mich, who was indicted at
Grand Rapids, has been nominated for
postmaster at Caro-, one Of the best
paying Offices in the county. The let
ter says: rs this. a reward for distri:-
b9ting money to gain. a nomination for
myers name will soon be sent to
the Senate for confirmation.
.;"AnOther letter which I have
states:
IT understand that five major Fed
eral appointments have been made in
Michigan under the present admins
tration, and with one exception, i. e.,
the collector of internal revenue at
Detroit, all of such appointments have
been from the Newberry organization,
and by that I mean men who were in
dicted with Newberry by a grand Jury
composed of 16 Republicans and 7
Democrats. Such appointees are as
follows:
.@'Earl Davis, recently appointed
United States attorney for the eastern
district Of Michigan; James R. Davis,
appointed prohibition officer for this
state; Fred Cronenwett, division pro-
hibition officer, with Offices in this
city; and Edward j. Bowman, district
attorney for the western district of
Michigan - "
1T seems as though the President
Of the United States, in making his ap-
pointments, is more interested in re-
swarding the friends Of Mr.. Newberry
than the supporters and friends of the
senior Senator from Michigan (Mr.
Townsend).''

Dublin--The governmental powers
for Ireland, as vested in the British
authorities at Dublin Castle, were
turned over to the provisional govern
s la1 of Ireland, as constituted under
the Anglo:lrish: treaty. The transfer
was made By Viscount Fitzalan, the
lord lieutenant, in the privy council
chamber.
The Irish were ready to revoke the
boycott on British goods.
>ticeroy Transfers Powers.
The Viceroy awaited telephone
message in the viceregal lodge, an
nouncing that the new ministry had
arrived at the castle but not until :2S
p. m. did the cheers of the crowd out
side announce the arrival of Michael
Collins. Professor John MacNeil, p. J.
Hogan, Joseph McGrath, Jevin O'Hig-
gin and William Cosgrave, who drove
up in taxicabs.
Immediately afterward Viscount
Fitzalan with two aids arrived in a
motorcar and they all proceeded to
the privy council chamber, where the
transfer Of powers was effected.
Dublin Castle "Fails."
From an early hour all approaches
to the castle were blocked by good
humored crowds watching for what
was described as the fall of Dublin
castle. The lower castle yard was an
animated scene of visitors, journalists
and photographers. The metropolitan
police dealt in a friendly manne r with
all corners and the auxiliaries in uni
form watched the proceedings from
their old quarters, where they had ex-
amined so many arrested Sim Fem
ers.
Troops Put on Last Drill.
Workmen were engaged today in
dismantling the wire screens erected
for the protection of the castle from
attack. Ashes Of burning documents
were sprinkled over the spectators
outside. In the upper castle yard, out
sides the viceregal apartments, a de-
tachment of the Cornwall regiment on
guard for the last time, went through
their rifle drill. This was expected to
be the final appearance of a British
regiment and the troops we're duly
cinematographed as they marched off.
Postoffice clerks came to take over
from the soldiers the management of
