TAFT PAYS VISIT
TO FORMER HOME
Chief Justice Taft Walks Streets of
His 5oyhood Days I'm
recognized.

CINCINNATI, o., Jan. 14.-william
H. Taft, chief Justice of the supreme
court of the United States. walked the
streets unrecognized while viewing the
scenes OF his boyhood haunts on a re-
cent visit to Cincinnati.
The chief justice started for long
walk from the home of his brother.
Charles P. Taft, on Fourth and Pike
streets. His route included Mt. Au-
burn, his old home place, and the
streets about woodward high school,
which he had attended.
Mr.. Taft found standing many
houses which he remembered WELL
looking just as they did when he went
to and from school, except that they
were older in appearance.
A unique feature OF his walk was
that, while he visited sections where
he once had known hundreds OF per-
sons, he did not see a soul he knew or
that knew him.
That shows how much things can
change in 20 years." Mr.. Taft said In
discussing his "tour."

tsy The Associated Pr.ss)

DALLAS. Texas, Jan. 14.-Fire

all telephone and telegraph wires lead
ing into that city tonight.
Reports received here before the
wires went out were that several

IRISH GOVERNMENT :
NOW FUNCTIONING
Newly Organized Provisional
Body Conducting All At
fairs of the Irish
Free State.
tey The Associated Press)

DUBLIN, Jan. 1.-THE provisional
government of the Irish Free State is
now a functioning body.
Final formalities of approving the
treaty with England were carried out
late to-day, when. after an historic
meeting in the Mansion house of rep
resentatives of the southern Irish con-
stituencies, who formally ratified the
treaty, cannon ]. Duggan took to Dub
lin castle copy of the treaty signed
by members of the new government as
provided for in the terms of the peace
pact.
Sixty-five members elected to sit in
the house OF commons in southern Ire
land attended the morning meeting.
No women representatives nor any of
the other adherents to Eamon De Va
lera, former republican president, were
present. First on the list of IS ap-
pointed as constituting the provisional
government is the name of Michael
Collins, and it is assumed he will be
made the nominal head. As a matter
of fact, however, the correspondent is
authoritatively informed that Arthur
Griffith. as president of the Dali
Eireann and chairman of the delega-
ton that negotiated the treaty, will
be looked to as it's supreme authority.
The ministers appointed to admin
lister tho provisional government in
ciude with two or three exceptions,
all the members of Mr.. Griffth's re-
publican cabinet. There is no room in
the provisional government for the
minister of foreign affairs. George
Gavan Duffy, because foreign affairs
are outside It's scope. But Mr.. Collins,
Mr.. Duggan and William T. Cosgrave,
as well as other departmental heads
in the republican government, will
head the departments in the provision
al administration.

HENRI LANDRU
MASTER SPY
Theory Advanced That French Blue
beard Might Have Been German
Spy.

PARIS, Jan. 14-The Idea that
Henri D. Landru may have been q
master spy who employed as his
agents the 10 women he is convicted
of numbering has been advanced by
Henri laval, a member Of the Paris
bar.
This suggestion is advanced In an
effort to account for the fact that no
direct evidence of the murders was
brought out at Landru's trial. The
absence of this evidence has caused a
feeling of uncertainty by, most Pari-
stems in regard to this mysterious case
and numerous attempts have been
made to solve the mystery on some
other basis than murder.
Developing his theory, Maitre laval
says:
ELEVEN persons, 10 fiancees and the
son of one of them, have disappeared.
Landru alone knows what has become
Of them, and he says nothing. By his
silence he puts his head at stake. This
can only mean that the truth, were it
known. would be as fatal for him.
But the whole affair takes on another
complexion if we imag CINE, for the sake
of argument, that his victims were his
actomplices in crime, and that crime
espionage.
Let US suppose" he continues, that
during the war Landru was a German
sp- recruiting agent He prefers to
work through women. At once this
explains his meetings, sometimes five
in the same day, with hundreds Of
wmen, Of whom he chooses only a
few, and those few without friends
or relatives who might be surprised at
their long absence. He takes a lonely
villa as far from other habitations as
possible where he can receive them.
Th,re he fabricates false identity pa
pes for them, keeping their own, and
senls them forth on their missions of
treason. Arrested, Landru says moth
ing and his victims" naturally do
not break silence.
San you imagine, bysany other hy-
potlesis," Maitre laval concludes,
WY so careful calculating a criminal
as -andru should burn the bodies of
his victims with great difficulty and
yet neglect TO throw into the all con-
suuing flames such damaging evil
denie as their identity papers?
Ind does not this theory explain
why he should keep such an incrimi-
mating document as the diary, IN which
refeence to mis- victims IS made by
initills other than his own? He need
ed tier identity papers and the entries
in his diary to show to those who en-
ployd him as a recruiter of SPIES

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 14.-Inabil-
tty Of opposing counsel to complete the
Jury today in the second manslaughter

trial would take at least as long as
the first one which occupied three
weeks.
The Jury box has been filled six
times since the case was called but
the use Of six peremptory challenges
has heightened the process of selec-
ton. Eleven temporary jurors were
in the box at adjournment today and

ment and was told by Commissioner
Moffit that unless he "sat down and
behaved himself he would instruct a
deputy marshal to escort him from
the room"

defense. Testimony that he had taken
two men in skiff to the schooner
while she was at Portsmouth, N. c.

the two men by Coleman, was given
by Joel Roberts, a. storelIeeper at
