Was Outdoor Headquarters.
The cave was the outdoor head
quarters of a number of boys attend
ing Sumner Potwin and Holy Name
schools. The majority of them lived
in the neighborhood of Sixth avenue
and Polk streets Altho some of the
boys were always at the cave on Sun
days and holidays, only about ten of
them were there at one time. Mud
ball fighting was the favorite pastime
Of the boys when at the cave.
1t is the opinion of several residents
in the vicinity of Auburndale that the
cave was used by men at night for
liquor parlors. No liquor was ever
found in the cave, 1t is said. A con-
siderable number of men have been
seen walking toward the cave at
night.
The cave was not conspicuous from
any direction and many persons re-
siding in Potwin knew nothing of the
cave until the report of the deaths of
the boys.
Another Dangerous Playground.
Another dangerous playground near
the city has given parents serious con-
Germ for. some time. The steep en-
bankments in the vicinity of the
brickyards have been sliding places
for youngsters for many seasons. At
the foot of some OF the pits are large
pools of deep water. The boys have
made Fairgrounds out of these cliffs
and many have been hurt but not
seriously.

Washington, April William
Gibbs McAdoo expects to be a candi-
date for the Democratic nomination
for the presidency of 1924.
Back of that simple fact, already
well known to Democratic leaders
here. lies one of the contributing
causes for woodrow Wilson's spec
tacular break with Joseph P. TumuIty,
for twelve years his secretary and
most devoted follower, according to
neutral Democrats today.
The manner in which the Innocent

presented to the Jefferson day ban
Quet by Mr.. Tumulty created the i'm

to scotch this impression quickly
and effectively. rebuke his former

long illness had heretofore prevented.
Some of Mr. Tumulty's friends at
tributed the action of the former
president today to the ''petulance Of a
sick man" At the street house,
however, inquirers were informed to-
day that Mr.. Wilson was in better
health than usual.

Belfast, April 15.-Forces of the in
surgent section of the Irish Republi-
can army are strengthening their hold
on Sligo where Arthur Griffith has
announced he will hold a pro-treaty
meeting tomorrow. The Republicans
have followed up their seizure yester-
day of the postoffice town hall, Guild
hall and barracks until now they con-
troll virtually every position of van
tage.
The office of the conservative news
paper, the Sligo Independent, was
Communicated last night and an
position dominates Castle and Market
streets, where the postoffice is stu
ated, and also commands Wine and
Knox streets adjoining. The streets
are being patrolled by armed parties
of republicans.

London, April 15.-Developments in
ireland over Sunday are anxiously
awaited here, in view of the repub-
lican seizure of the four courts in
Dublin and Arthur Griffith's determi-
nation to hold his pro-treaty meeting
in Sligo tomorrow over the decree of
the local Irish republican commander.
The situation is described as very
serious by the morning newspapers.
1t will be a surprise if Sunday
passes in Sligo without trouble. Mr..
Griffith's latest statement was that he
was determined to fulfill his promise
to speak there, and there seems to be
every reason to expect that if he at
temps to make the address. a clash
of the rival parties will result.
1t is reported that since the occupa-
ton of number of public buildings
at Sligo by republican forces yester-
day free state troops have been gath
ering there in considerable numbers.
Many alarming rumors are afloat. one
being that the republicans have laid
plans to seize tibet heads of the pro-
free state government.
Disavowal of the De Valera party
generalissimo, Rory O'Connor, of
starting another revolution by the
seizure of the four courts in Dublin
fails to allay the anxiety of the Daily
Chronicle. The newspaper editor
tally asks, in effect, that ''if the seiz-
ing of courts and turning them into
sandbagged fortresseS so as to prevent
the country's judges from functioning
is not revolution what is?-or does
O'Connor mean it is nothing to what
he will do next?"
