"VAMPS" WHO
MADE HISTORY
BY JAMES c. YOUNG.

THE WOMAN WARMAKER.

TT WAS an Inflated ship which
1 brought wonderfully beautiful
Italian girl to England. toward the
close of the Seventeenth century. But
no one who saw this ivory-skinned,
dark-eyed beauty, would have thought
that she was to plunge England into
q period of bloodshed So her destiny
proved, for Mary of Modena was the
embodiment of bad luck to England.
She came over from Italy as the be-
trothed bride of the Duke Of York.
In the course of a few years he as
cended the throne as James ii, al.
though at the time Of his marriage no
one could have foreseen that event.
James was bad king, and what is
perhaps worse, he was weak king.
The people muttered against him, and
his wife, Mary of Modena, urged that
he flee. James hesitated, and he pres
emily was dethroned, William of
Orange taking his place. Immediately
James followers banded together in
what was called the Jacobite upris-
ings, this being play on the Latin
name for James. which Is Jacobus.
Mary, watching events from France,
paid her court to Louis XIV. She is
said to have caught the fancy of the
gallant Louis and to have persuaded
him to declare her son the true king
Of England, instead of William. Louis
assented and new war promptly be-
gan, much worse than the civil con-
fiict which had preceded it In Eng
land. William succeeded In gaining
allies when Louis declared his own
grandson to be king of Spain. Soon
the War of the Spanish Succession
was in its full red tide AMI Europe
ran with blood. The struggle lasted
IA years and before 1t ended practical.

France just escaped falling into the

Mary, the maker Of wars, had well

WILL OBSERVE
FOURTH AGAIN
COMMITTEE TO ARRANGE
CELEBRATION OF FULL
DAY AT PARK

On Friday night the Fourth of July
committee for this year was organized
at a mass meeting held at the court
house. Twenty-Five persons were
present representing a number of civ
lie and fraternal organizations, all of
which are willing to participate in
helping to assist the carrying out once
again of plans for an old fashioned
celebration.
Mayor Flatter called the meeting to
order and Louis H. Cook was elected
president; Brayton E. Smith, vice
president: D. A. Caldwell, secretary
and Frank j. Okoneski, treasurer. Mr..
Smith presided in the absence of the
newly chosen president. Committees,
it was suggested, should be appointed
shortly so that work could be started.
Mr.. Okoneski, who acted as treas
urer last year also, explained the fl
nancial side of the celebration. About
81, 500 was collected last year to cover
expenses but when all obligations had
been paid a surplus remained and all
donors received refund. This year,
he estimated, the cost of the Fourth
of July celebration will approximate
$4,000. All civic and fraternal or
carnations will be notified of the af-
fair and will be asked to assist in
making it a success.
Last year the picnic was held al
Marathon park and thousands of peo-
pie came from the surrounding coun-
try to attend it. A big parade was
held and the 12Sth Infantry band fur
nished muscle. The celebration will
be held at the park again this and a
somewhat similar program will be ar
ranged

ENGLISH TROOPS IN BATTLE
Sim Fein Invaders Driven From Main
Positions on Ulster Border--Laree
Part of Frontier Is Now a
Battle Front

London, June Ga steamer bound
from New York for Fenit, County
Kerry, with corn and a mixed cargo,
has been held up In Tralee bay by a
British sloop, says dispatch to the
Press association from Tralee. A
large quantity of ammunition in bar

British troops have driven the Sim
Fein invaders from their main posi-
tons in Ulster territory, and large
part of the border between northern
and southern Ireland now is virtually
battle front.
A Central News message says the
steamer mentioned is the Seattle

Detail Capture of Pettigoe.
Belfast, June 6.-Authentic details
of the recapture of Pettigoe show that
a British staff officer entered the vii
lage at noon and gave the republicans
10 minutes to leave. Some immediate
ly departed, but about 100 decided to
oppose the military.
At the expiration of the time limit
the British crossed the bridge leading
into the village and were received
with machine gun and rifle fire. Then
the British artillery came into action,
and when the first shell landed on a
hill behind the town some of the de-
tenders dashed for safety. Four more
shells followed in quick succession,
and one, striking in the middle of a
party of retreating Sim Feiners, In
fiicted severe casualties
Rear Attack Fails.
Troops which had been landed Sc
cretly from Boa island, in Tough Erne,
during the night took the republicans
ia the rear, but some escaped through
superior knowledge of the country.
When the occupation of the village
was complete soldiers were detailed
to bury the dead, and all the Sim
Feiners were inferred in a field near
by. The prisoners were removed to
Enniskillen.
Republicans stationed at vantage
points with machine guns held out,
frequently firing at the troops, who .e-
piled with Lewis gun. 1t is be-
lieved that one Sim Fem gun crew
was wiped out.
Seven Republicans Killed.
1t is officially stated that but one
member of the crown forces was
killed. Seven republicans are known
to have been killed, while 16 were
made prisoners, including the COM

Ford " ould $50 Broke
I'm Alabama, Expert Says
Nitrate Plan. No. 2 Declared To
&c " Worlhless as Commercial
Fertilizer Producer

WASHINGTON, March 13.-Charles
\. Parsons. consulting chemist and
former technical adviser to the govern
men. on nitrate fxation, testified TO-
day before the House Military Com
mittee that Henry Ford or any other
power company would close its last
penny before it ever produced
commercial fertilizers at Nitrate Plant
No. ., at Muscle Shoals, Ala. The
plant, which has cost the government
about $69,O0O, 900, was designed to be
operated only by the cyanamid process
OF nitrate fXation, an obsolete method,
and was worthless as a fertilizer pro-
ducer.
As to the future use of the Muscle
Shoals plant, Mr.. Parsons recon-
mended that it be kept in stand ""
condition for emergency use in war
time, and declared that that was its
only present value, in so far as its
worth as a fertilizer factory was con-
cerned
Contrary to reports, the witness de-
clared, Nitrate Plant No. | had been
a successful experiment and could be
altered for S1,O00,00O or 81 100000 and
used successfully IN the production of
nitrates and fertilizer compounds
1T was the opinion of the witness
that no individual or company would
ever attempt fertilizer production on
q commercial scale by leasing Plant
No. q He urged the committee to
make sure" that Mr.. Ford would pro-
duce cheaper fertilizers for the farm
crs before Congress accepted the pro-
posal for purchase and lease Of the
properties.

HALIFAX, N. S., March 13-Dr. Walter
Franklin Prince, of New York, arrived in
Halifax tonight from Caledonia Mills.
"here he passed n week trying to trap
the ghost at the Macdonald farmhouse.
Or. Prince announced that the data
which he had obtained was more than
sufficient to justify his trip to Nova
Scotia and would greatly extend the
records now on file in the Offices Of
the American Institute of Psychic Re
search in New York. DR.. Prince added
that of all the 400 cases he had invcsti-
gated, the Caledonia Mills case was the
most mysterious. His report, he said,
would be completed and released for
publication tomorrow.

1t was learned from other members
Of the Prince expedition that the
psychic research expert passed the last
night alone in the house Of mystery.
The others in the party were allowed
to go to the Boyle homestead after
dark. They gave pledges that they
would keep their lips sealed and they
have so done.
Despite the secrecy which DR.. Prince
has sought to throw around his in

that he may account for at least part

Unhampered by the disturbing pres

that the train was freight.

that my coming could not have been

built the fires was a human being, that
person might suppose me able to look

Protests to Lockwood
Charges Financial account in
the Report Made by Housing
Committee Is WisIc q ding

+. c. Buswell. e-president of the
Home Insurance Company of New
York, in communication addressed
yesterday to Senator Charles c. Lock
wood charges that the account of the
finances Of the Home Insurance Com
pany given in the report of the Lock
wood committee to the Legislature is
misleading.
at is difficult" Mr.. Buswcll wrote,
"to understand how a statement could
have been prepared so inaccurate and
surplus that belongs TO the stockhold
ers of about $63,000, ,O00.' Apparently
this figure is found by deducting from
the total assets of s. 100000 the capital
Of $12 100000. The fact is that this
sum of S63 900, 900 includes unearned
premiums. unadjusted losses and other
reserves required by law, amounting to
nearly s43,000,000, leaving the actual
surplus less than S21, 100000.
"For the capital of S12 100000 the
stockholders actually paid in cash
$12,500,000, an assessment Of $1,500,000
having been paid in December, 1871,
following the Chicago fire. The surplus
represents the accumulation of sixty
nine years and $3,o0O,00O contributed
in cash by the stockholders in 1921"
The concluding paragraph of the
statement on the insurance company
appearing in the Lockwood committee
report reads as follows:
"At the end of the last ten-year period
there was about 100000 added to
the net value of the Home stock, in ad
dition to which it had paid about
$28,000,O00 in dividends during that
period, or an average of s2.80O,000 per
year. At the beginning of the ten-year
