IRELAND DESIRES
STONE OF DESTINY
RESTORED TO TARA
Once Jacobs Pillow, Used
in Coronation of All
English Kings.
IN WESTMINSTER ABBEY
Some Antiquarians Dispute
Title, Saying Real Relic
Still Crowns Hill.

Dublin. Oct. Fl.
Among many antiques now in Eng
land which Irishmen say should be re-
stored to Ireland by virtue of her new
status is the "Stone of Destiny" In
Westminster Abbey. upon which every
English King since Edward I. was
crowned. While Irish antiquarians
are not unanimous on this point, ons
school holds that this stone is the
original Lila Fail" from the hill OF
Tara, the ancient seat of the Irish
kings.
According to one English tradition
the stone was carried to ireland from
Bethel as Jacobs Pillow" upon which
Jacob slept when he dreamed. In
Ireland it became the pillow of st.
COLUMBIA at Iona, was removed to
Scone, Scotland. by Kenneth III. in the
ninth century. and then to westmin-
ster by Edward I.
Some antiquarians dispute this. how
ever. alleging that the stone was
jrought to Ireland by Tuathe de Denann
and his colony from Germany, and sub.
sequently placed upon the hill of Tara.
The stone was supposed to have super.
natural powers. making a creakins
noise when a legitimate king was be.
ing crowned. but maintaining a stony
silence when a usurper sat upon it.
The Irish high kings, who sat upon
It during the Tuathe de Denann colony,
came TO Ireland about 1896 B. c.; and
the stone. according to this legend, re-
mained till the fifth century A D..
and when Fergus Macero. then tho
high king, left Tara on a conquering en-
pedition he bore the sfone away To-
Scone for his coronation. Edward -
said to have taken II away In the thir-
teenth century. A Scottish tradition
spun around this stone has 1t that:
III the fates go Alright. where this
stone is found.
The Scots shall monarchs OF that
realm be crowned"
which prophecy is supposed to have
been fulfilled when James VI. of Scot
land became James I. of England.
There are Irisilmen. however. who
say that the real Liza Fail still reposes
on the hill of Tara. and that the most
reliable Irish annals give no hint that
IL ever was removed. The stone which
these persons assert is the original now
crowns the great central mound OF the
hill of Tara. where some 400 men were
killed by English troops in the revolt OF
1898.
The old Irish bards gave their native
land the poetic name of "Innisfan," in
cooperating the name of the historic
ock- One ancient verse runs:
From this strange stone did Innisfaii
obtain
It's name: tract surrounded by the

has at last been turned to use. It was
sold nearly a year ago when the pur-
chaser hoped to get others to Join him
in making some sort of a national
memorial out Of it. But its remoteness
from the beaten path and its very size
made it unsuitable for almost any pu..-
pose.
Now group OF men interested in
public schools has succeeded in muster
ing capital enough to turn the palace
into school and will start with 200
boys after Easter. 1t will be an insti-
tuition which, despite its newness. hopes
to parallel Eton. Harrow and Rugby.
All three of those schools as well as
lesser known ones such as Winchester,
Westminster and Marlborough are
crowded despite the high fees. Return
ing colonials. persons who have made
wealth during the war and old families
who are sending their boys to the old
ScnoolS however deeply the cost cuts
into their now slender incomes, have
established waiting lists dating eight
and ten years ahead from tender ages.
Stowe is beginning with lower fees
than the others. 160 guineas covering
everything except music and military
training equipment. The headmaster
and the masters win be chosen from
the older public schools and endowment
institutions and will be given such
terms as to make the employment ex-
trcrnely attractive.
What is worrying the promoters now
IS how to get boys for the older classes
1--WE realize" said one of the organ
izers. that boys worth having will
not leave the old schools. because boy
worth having is loyal TO his school
But we hope to draw both from the
colonies and from American families
who find the fees and expenses of the
old schools too heavy"
The great state dining room Will be
the school dining commons and the
palace itself will be the first school
house. Others will be built on the vast
grounds as the need arises. The chapel
with Its wood carvings by Grinling Glib
bons, will be preserved. but otherwise
the exterior will be practically rebuilt
after the art treasures are disposed OF
at the final auction next week.

Another complication that puzzles

Efforts of the police to correct

widespread condemnation as the re-
suit of the arrest and conviction of

clerk in the Privy Council and promi-
ncnt In society. who was charged with
molesting woman in Hyde Park.
Sir Almeric, who was fined f5 and
costs, Immediately filed an appeal.
The sensational case aroused public
indignation because Sir Almeric was
convicted after the testimony of the
prosecutions star witness, a woman.
was completely broken down and she
was dismissed.
The only other witnesses for the
prosecution were two constables. who
said that Sir Aimeric when arrested at
tackled and struck at them with his
care and later made such scene ai
headquarters that he had to be held
down. The constables said that thev
watched him accost three women and
began to converse with one of them.
Sir Almeric. who made picturesque
figure in the dock. stormed against what
he called the injustice of such an action.
He said he had an appointment with
his wife at Hyde Park gate. AS he
arrived early after dinner he strolled
in the park to pass the time. He ad-
mitted sitting on bench and passing
the time of day with a girl who was
there, ''as any gentleman would" The
girl appeared against him. but was dis
missed when the defense riddled her
testimony.
The case promises to be the climax
of q series of remarkable arrests IN
which several clergymen are involved.
A curate. who was arrested for staring
at people in the park. proved when the
case was appealed that he is almost
blind. Another case involved an arch
deacon, who was fined, but the con-
yiction was later quashed.
These park scandals have already come

was stated that no man with any sense

in the war days and the close police
vigilance established then has not been

lTALfANCATHOLFC PARTY
TURNS FROM SOCIALISTS
Marked Suing From, Radical
ism Altering Parliament.


Special Correspondence to THE Nrw YoRx
HERALD.
ROME, Oct. Z. - The Senators OF the
Popular party in a letter to the party's
parliamentary secretary. Don Sturzo
practically impose an ultimatum on the
famous leader to cease all activities IN
the direction Of an alliance with the
Socialists. The letter, published in a
Rome Catholic paper. has created a SEN
sation as indicating that collaboration
between the Popular and Socialist Depu-
ties is at an end. Talk of q firrner
union between the two parliamentary
groups because Of the growing con-
servatism of the Socialists had been
persistent few months ago, and Don
sturzo has frankly worked in this
direction.
The fact that tho Catholic Senator's
are now coming out openly against such
move makes 1t likely that overtures
will cease. The Popular party move to
the right is part Of marked swing
away from radicalism on the part of the
Chamber which within a year will en-
tirely transform the temper of the lower
house.

CoNsTANT1NoPLE, Oct. 21.-The clos
ing Of certain American schools In Ana
tolia by the Kemalists justifies the ap-
prehension that there are troubled times
in store for Robert College and Con-
stantinople College. two great Americ. n
educational institutions on the shores "a
the Bosporus
While the American school authori-
ties do not believe the Turks will take
extreme measures, they expect to ex-
perience serious difficulties soon and the
number of students at both schools has
been steadily diminishing. The exodus
Is particularly marked at Robert Col
lege, where there are many boys of
military age who have excellent reason
to dread kemafs coming. Many Greek,
Armenian and Russian girls likewise
have left Constantinople College in the
last few weeks. The girls with tears
in their eyes came to their American
teachers asking whether they could
guarantee them safety ir they remained.
This the teachers naturally were unable
to do, though they are determined not
to desert the girls.
Constantinople College at present has
about thirty girl students who are
Just as disturbed about the imminent
restoration of Turkish rule as their
Christian schoolmates. These girls, like
many other modern young Turkish ladies
in Constantinople, realize the advan-
tages Western civilization offers women.
and the reports that the Kemalists in
tend enforcing once more all the strict
Moslem laws respecting feminine garD
and mode of life fills them with despair.
One young girl recently returned home
from the college and was forced by her
parents to wear the yashmak-the tradi-
tional solemn Turkish headdress for
women-and therefore tried to drown
herself in the Bosporus.
Despite the presence of several very
emancipated women among the Kemal-
lists. it is generally believed that the
short era of comparative freedom en-
joyed by Turkish women during the al
lied occupation will be over when the
victors enter the capital.
