unless his ships are permitted to

1t became known today that the

"The local merchants regard

-FOUR MENAND

IRISH FIGHTING
Aged Couple Dragged From
Bed and Shot to Death
In Home. .

BELFAST. June 17.--Four men
and one woman were killed in fight
ing which ragged at Newry through.
out the night. Incendiaries were
active at Newry and several houses
were destroyed by fire.
The victims were dragged from
their beds and shot to death in their
homes, Two of the dead are Mr..
and Mrs. Crozier. an aged couple.
In addition to the dead number
of persons were wounded. 1t is re.
ported that several Of the wounded
are dying.
When the firing broke out famil-
les fled In their night clothes and re-
mained in nearby fields until after
daybreak. fearing to return to. their
homes.
It is believed that the attack was
made In reprisal for a number OF
killings recently near Newry.
An automobile containing Cardinal
Iogue. Roman Catholic primate Of
, Ireland, and Bishop O'Donnen was
held up by Ulster special constables
and searched. This was the second
time the cardinals car was thus held
up. On the previous occasion two
piatoons Of specials were discharged
and the British military officers In
charge were reprimanded.
Election Results Unknown.
DUBLIN, June 1.-THE results
of the general election in the Irish
Free State on Friday were still
clouded in obscurity today and 1t is
believed that they will not DC
known until Monday.
A critical situation, which threat.
ems trouble between the Republl'
cans and the Free Staters has
arisen over the seizure OF the DUB
lin University ballots by Rory
O'Connor, commander OF the re
bellious faction Of the Irish Repu'-
lican army.
Many fear this is the opening OF
a campaign on the part Of the Anti,
Treaty party to invalidate the cleo
! ton. ..s.
O'Copnor is q member Of the ID,
Valera wing Of the Sim Fein which
In opposed to the Anglo Irish peac'
treaty and the Irish Free State con
stitution.
There are we'll founded reports in
! circulation that the Republicans,
dissatisfied with the constitution
are ready to renew their opposition
to the supporters Of the Irish pro
visional government. This br1ngS
a new threat of warfare.
De Valera has cancelled his pro
posed trip to Glasgow. His friends
predict that he will eventually op'
pose the constitution vigorously, but
| il is not known whether he will
1 break openly with Michael Collins
and Arthur Griffith or win seek TO
/ amend or reject the document when

on July IL.
Examination of the available bal.
! lots Indicate that only about 55 per
: cent of the electorate went TO the
polls. The voting by women was
unusually heavy. The indications
are, according to Free State
sources. that a majority Of the pro

Such thoughts must occur to any
American who Is willing to have
thoughts as well as emotions about
our military naval records and pros
pect.
Mr.. Harding is not known to have
alluded TO them in Marion, but he
hinted at them In the speech with
which he delivered his ship subsidy
policy to Congress. In that speech
he committed himself to that sort
Of policy, hut he had already commit.
ted himself to II long before the ship
subsidy bill was prepared. He him
self suggested the preparation of the
bill. Inquiry into the circumstances
surrounding the origin Of the bill
leaves no doubt on that point.
The Shipping Board was busy clear.
ing OFF the commercial debris which
overlay the commercial operations Of
the American Government fleet. The
suggestion for a subsidy measure to
give an impetus to the perpetuation
Of the fleet when transferred from
public to private hands came from
the President.
In details, the President then 90
cepted suggestions from his Shipping
Board advisers. He accepted, for in
stance, the uggestion-be,ievcd to
have come from Mr.. Lasker-to the
effect that O subsidized ship should
be subjected to limitation OF profits.
He followed his advisers In the per-
fecting of the bill. But the sterling
of Il was his; and he gives the bill to-
day q support which In not dictated

DIR. Cox requested the resignation
of one physician from the clinic
