One HUNDRED
HORSES BURN

indianapolis, Ind, Feb. 19.-The

at 100000. Three horsemen also

According to Assistant Fire Chief
Hoyl, the fire started from an oil
stove, and as the loft was filled with
hay and straw the flames spread
rapidly, trapping the animals and
sleeping hostlers in the burning
structure. The slate roof on the barn
is believed to have saved the large
coliseum just across the road from
serious damage.

ped in the stall with his horse. Fif-

Frank Meyers was trying to rescue
became panic stricken and fell on
him, pinning him to the floor and he
was seriously burned and trampled
before freeing himself. Edward
Word, another horseman, was slight
ly burned.

ROSCOE TURNER
TO STAND TRIAL

Roscoe Turner, the aviator, who has
been held in the Richland county iail
on charge of having had a stolen
airplane in his possession, will be
taken to Savannah this morning to be
tried in the federal court. Turner
was arrested in Columbia several
weeks ago by federal agent and a
city detective, and two days later,
Harry Runser, his pal in the flying
business, was arrested at Fort Waync,
Ind. Both airmen are charged with
the same offense.
Federal agents reported the theft
of government airplane from Paris
Island last September and it is said
that secret service men obtained evil
dence which they claim to incriminate
Turner and Runser. The flying me.
chine was brought to a point near
Savannah where Turner and Runser
took charge of it, according to re-
ports.
Turner and Runser are we'll known
in various parts of this state where
they gave flying exhibitions. Turner
was engaged in the automobile busi-
ness in Columbia when arrested by
federal agents.
Detective Shorter has deputized
Detective Allen to accompany Turner
and federal officer to Savannah.

De VALERA STIRS
CORK POPULACE

Cork, Feb. ia striking feature
Of the meeting held in Cork today
under the auspices of canon De
Valera was the presence of large num-
bers of the Irish Republican army
from the city of Cork and from vari-
GUS parts of the county who were
assembled by companies 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
his meeting in Dublin last Sunday and
repeated virtually the same argument
as were then put forward, declaring
that Ireland was in greater danger
than it had been at any time in 75O
years. The Countess Marie Vicz and
Charles Burgess and other followers
of De Valera supported the resolu-
tions.
The train on which Mr. De Valera
travelled Saturday evening to Cork
was met at the railway station at
Thurles by 5000 persons carrying
Sim Fein flags. Addressing the peo-
pie 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'Callaghan
and other prominent Republicans. De
Valera declared he desired every Irish
citizen fully to understandable serious
ness of the situation and to fully ap-
preciate what they were doing. He
declared that they were being asked
TO say that when four years ago they
proclaimed for a republic they were
fools and did not realize what they
were doing. If an election were fore
ed upon them, he added, he was sure
that the citizens of Cork would do
their part in 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 perfect
freedom and thereby let Ireland know
what II is voting for.
"f they can make a constitution
which the EaglfeH stsine ss.iis not be
in" said Mr.. De Valera, ait may not
be very difficult for us to agree with
them"
Pointing to the question of an alter
native policy, Mr.. De Valera asserted
that his task was the task Of any gen.
eral with stampeded army. He had
to rally the people into strong po-
sition behind the standard of the re-
public to the same strong position
they had held ten months ago. If
that were accomplished the British
would be as anxious to come to them
as they were last July.
