8 LIVES LOST
 IN IRISH CITY
Belfast Experiences One of Worst Week lends in
 History
By A.ssocinted Press

Belfast, May 21.-This has been one of the worst week-ends in the experi- ence of the city. Shootings. incendi- arism, bombing and outrages gen. orally have been exceptionally nu- merous. The fire brigade responded to seven calls between Saturday eve- ming and Sunday morning. In some cases bombs were thrown into build ings.
 The exact number of deaths is not known but It Is believed they will reach IS, bringing the total deaths by shooting during the past week up to So, in addition to many persons treated for gunshot wounds in hos pita1s.
 Belfast is suffering from intense nervous tension. At one point police placed on duty to protect the fire men were attacked by .gunmen and several casualties resulted. sniper captured by the military was marched along the streets hanus up to the barracks, crowds following and cheering the soldiers. Raiders shot and severely wounded the mother of a constable at Monaghan, because she refused to allow them to search her home. Two men called at the home of a family named Shields last night and asked Mrs. Shields for her son. When told he was out, the men shot the woman and her married daughter.
 A sailor named Powell, who had just arrived in Belfast after long voyage, was interrogated as to his religion, and then was fired upon and wounded, 1t is feared fatally.

CALL ISSUED FOR
 COAL CONFE FERENCE
Hoover Invites Operators Whose Mines Are Produc-
 ing to Meet May 31
By Associated Prsss

Washington. May 21.-Administra- ton plans for holding down soft coal prices were carried step further today when Secretary Hoover issued a general call for conference of all the 1,5oo-odd operators whose mines are still producing. The conference IS to be held in Washington May S1.
 The operators will be asked to ap- prove and put into effect a scheme of creating district committees to re- ceive and allocate all orders during the strike, and with cooperation from a Washington committee. to prevent coal going into hands or spectators and middlemen who may unduly enhance prices.
 Fifty operators, controlling the bulk of present non-union and open shop production, last week pledged themselves to support the plan, using the Garfield prices of the wartime administration as general basis from which to set up fair price stand ards. This would establish mine prices of bituminous in a range of from g to s3 per ton.
 Hear From Consumers
 Tn the meantime, the administra- tion expects the coal operators not to sell coal at prices in excess of the Garfield prices with such adjust ments as are necessary" MT. Hoo ver's statement on the general con ference call said. Furthermore, charges by wholesalers or retailers of larger commissions than allowed under the Garfield scale, or the re- sale of coal for speculative purposes, is not fair to the public, and the gov ernment would like to hear from con sumers who have been subjected to higher prices than this basis war rants.
 "The vast majority of coal opera tors and wholesalers everywhere were expressing approval of the voluntary price control plan" Mir. Hoover said, and added that the action of pro- ducing operators and wholesalers in this particular deserves the gratitude of the public. more especially as large part of the coal produced for many months pror to the strike was produced without profit and even at a loss"

occurrence as one which would cast a shadow over the good name of Bir- mingham, and which would be still blacker mark against the Magic City if the perpetrators of the deed were allowed to escape.
 Commissioner Mary Echols, who has been affiliated to certain extent with Dr. Bowling in his work as health officer, stated that her first information of the dastardly deed was contained in The Sunday Age-Herald and which deeply shocked and sur prised her. She commended the work of Dr. Bowling. and said that she would lend her influence with that of President McLendon In locating and punishing the guilty parties.
 Down With Mob Rule
 Sid Bowie, president of the Civic association, said: My opinion is that the men who were members of such a crowd that took a man out and whipped him because he was only do- ing the duties Of his office. should be sent to the penitentiary if caught, and kept their to the limit of the law
 Men should arm themselves and when approached by outlaws of such character, they should shoot to kilt, and see who the party was later. It is just as bad and outrageous when a poor white man or negro, either, Is taken out, and they should receive the same punishment if apprehended.
 .Of course, it is little more az gravating when public health of ficer, like pr. Bowling. is taken out and beaten when he has been guilty of only the discharge of the duties of his office"
 Outrageous, Says Jemison
 Robert Jemison, Sr., says: "The beating of pr. Bowling Is one of the most outrageous things that I have ever heard anything about. The city. county and the state should take the greatest step that Is possible in the running down of the perpetrators of such a criminal act. No man knows when he Is safe with such things happening every day"
 Worst Thing Happening
 O. l.. Bum. secretary and manager of the Chamber of Commerce. in speaking of the whipping of Dr. Bowling, said: T think that it is the worst thing that could have happened from a Birmingham standpoint. Such acts place us in the smal wild west ern' class.
 T think that the police, detectives and the county officers should not leave a stone unturned until the guilty party is caught. The citizens should issue reward for the cap

He gave as an Illustration of this truth, the social status of woman in the paga lands in ancient times and even to- day and contrasted this with the standing of women in our own coun- try, or in any country where Chris tianity and scientific development had taken place.
 Closely Allied
 In concluding, he brought out the fact that science and religion were closely allied. or rather that they were not in any way opposed to each other. and branding anyone who tried to create such an impression as an ignoramus and an idiot.

Is a member of the committee, is able to talk from the synsids' This is the first statement to be prepared by member of either of the committees concerned with Muscle Shoals for publication.
 The salient points in the state snsnt are as follows:

 The House committee on military affairs, 1t Is apparent, does not so seriously regard the 100-year feature of the Ford offer. That feature, how ever, as Senator Harrison points out is obviously a handicap to favorable action by the Senate committee.
 Legislation Assured
 The Harrison statement in full sAlows;
 Is my opinion that favorable rvg1pa.on affecting the development of the Tennessee river and Muscle Shoals Is assured. The Congress, both in the House and in the Senate, is divided with respect to the policy Of accepting Henry Ford's offer. There Is no questions but that strong influences have been and are now at work to dstort the fairness of that offer.

ROBBING THE FARMER

Somebody somewhere is robbing
the farmer of his legitimate profits,
to the detriment of the nation as a
whole.
With the improved methods of
agriculture, and the consequent in
crease in production, the farmers
profits should be far in excess of
what they are today.
From one end of the country to
the other the consumer continues to
pay high prices for farm products,
only small portion of which as
a rule goes to the farmer.
Who gets the difference? Who
is lining his pockets at the expense
of both the farmer and the con-
sumner?
Many official Investigations have
been started-but are still to be
heard from.
Many promises have been made
but are yet to be kept.
Many people are wondering how
long this condition will continue
but they will keep on wondering.
Because, as n matter of fact, there
appears to be no one with moral,
physical and POLITICAL courage
enough to unearth the robbers and
give them their just deserts.

TAX RATES TO BE IMPOSED
MONDAY. TAXPAYERS
LAST DAY TO KICK

Jackson, Miss, Oct. 81, 1922
To The Taxpayers
Heretofore your attention has been
called to your right to petition
against any items of expenditure
shown by the County Budget. On
the first Monday of November, the
Supervisors are required to impose
the tax rates fixing your taxes for
1922. If you are opposed to any of
the expenditures proposed by the
Supervisors, now is the time for the
matter to be looked after; for, if you
wait until the taxes have been levied,
it will be too late.
The tax rates in Mississippi are
very high. This Commission has al
ways taken the position that it is
far better to raise the needed reve-
nues by preventing property from
escaping taxation through omission
from the rolls or differentiation
thereon, than by increasing the tax
rates; for the increase in the rates
raises the taxes of the taxpayer, who
has given in a fair assessment, I'M
justly, and permits the tax-dodger to
escape.
Good government, good schools and
public improvements are necessity.
Adequate funds should be provided
for them. This can only be done by
taxation. Yet wastefulness and ex-
travagance should not be tolerated.
Every taxpayer is given a voice
against such, by law. We urge you,
therefore, either to satisfy yourself
as to the justice and necessity Tor
such tax rates, or to make objection
as suggested above.
Yours very truly,
DUNCAN L. THOMPSON,
Chairman State Tax Com.
