Bofn on War Path


leader, Bofin, is on the war path
again, says the Belfast correspondent
of the Evening News"
Bofin, although besiegcd by strong
Free State forces, escaped from his
hiding place in the Arigna mountains
in County Cavan and now is reported
operating in northern Leitrim at the
head of small. but daring band
which includes many Of the veterans
of the Arigna fighting.
They are having hectic time raid
ing trains for mails and merchandise.
Bofin's most daring exploit thus far
is the destruction of passenger
train at Flenfarne. Free State troops
are hot on the trail of the elusive
rebel.
"For weeks" the correspondent
continues. the rebel parties billet
themselves on the distracted farming
folk, while rowing bands occasionally
call at lonely houses and order bacon
and eggs for ten men, insisting on the
harassed housewife having the food
on the table inside of as many min
utes.
"Such demands have not added to
the popularity of the rebels, whose
chief admirers are romantically- mind
ed girls and youths thrilled by their
frequent hair-breadth escapades and
train burning exploits.
MANY of the rebels sweethearts
are on the run. simply decked out
with loot in the shape Of jewelry and
clothing"

free STATE Turns
down Peace OFFER
Reject Proposal Of Archbishop
Harty for Immediate Truce
IRREGULARS WERE WILLING
O'Higgins, However, Thinks Terms
Impossible - Rebel Leader BOfin
Again on War Path and Is Raiding
Trains for Mail and Goods.

Dublin. March 10.-(By Associated
Press) Free State government,
has definitely rejected the latest, and
what many observers considered the
most promising, move for peace In
Ireland.
Archbishop Harty Of Cashel and
several others, influential friends OF
the government in Munster, recently
proposed an immediate truce under
which the republicans would dump
all their arms under pledge that
they be handed over to whichever
party won the next election. In this
way, 1t was pointed out. there would
be voidance of the humiliation of a
surrender.
Irregulars Willing
Tom Barry, irregular leader, indit-
ed a friendly reply to this proposal,
undertaking to submit 1t to the repub-
lican army executive, and DIR. McCar-
tan gave motive in the Dali Eireann
OF resolution approving the terms.
In an interview today, however,
KeWn O'Higgins, free state minister
of home affairs, said:
bishop of Cashel and others have ad-
bishop of Cachel and others. have ad-
dressed to Barry"
Reasons For Refusal
There must be complete and un-
qualified acceptance Of the right OF
the people to decide all the issues
arising from the politics of the coun-
try, and as corrolary to this the
weapons of war must be placed in the
effective custody and control of the
peoples representatives
There will be an election this year
in Ireland at which the candidates
will be free to go forward on any
program that seems good to them and
appeal to the electors for support.
War with England, France or Rus
sia may then be advocated. Mr.. De
yalera's people may appeal to the
people to burn the treaty and go an
other round and the people may, if
they choose, endorse that program
and return De Valera's party with an
effective majority.
IF that happens, then unquestion-
ably they will be entitled to full con-
troll of the financial and military re-
sources OF the country. The Irish
citizens who would in such circum-
attempt to ohstruct or oppose
them by force would be rebels against
the native administration based on
the majority will of their fellowmen.'

Install Wireless Stations

Several important measures affect ing Yukon were put through by Parliament at the last session, Cap tain Black said. Grants were allow ed for two wireless stations in the country one at Mayo and the other at Dawson, to be installed this year Next year it is planned to put in two more stations, at Ft. McMurray and Fl. Simpson in the Mckenzie river country When the installation of these stations is completed the old Dominion telegraph line will be dropped.
 It is believed that the installation of wireless stations and the aban- donment of the land telegraph sys- tenn will save the government s25O,- 900 a year and better service will be given. The latter system now costs the government $275,000 a year to keep up. Service is uncertain as in the summer the line is damag- ed by forest fires and in the winter it is damaged by storms.
 In a bill introduced by Captain Black an amendment was made to the Constitution of Yukon, greatly increasing the rights to trial by jury and the right of appeal in min ing cases, and action for divorce and legal separations. The law in these questions, in Yukon. is now the same as in all other Canadian Pro- Vinces.
 Considerable agitation has arisen in the past few years in Yukon over these questions. The provisions df the Constitution previous to the ann endment, were made in the early years of the country, with little right to jury trial because of the impossibility, on account of the sparesness of settlement to obtain a jury for trial.

FORMER YUKON GOVERNOR
 SAYS U. s. DRY LAW FARCE

With a liquor cargo for the sea- son valued at s15O,0OO at Vancouver awaiting transportation to the North, Yukon has been dry since early in June because of the United States law which prohibits the transporta- ton of the cargo from Skagway over the railroad to the border, according to Captain George Black member of Parliament from Yukon. Captain Black, with Mrs. Black was in Ju- neau recently enroute to Dawson, after attending the last session of Parliament at Ottawa.
 Tn my opinion the United States is making a farce of the enforcement of prohibition in the United States, and it is selfish policy to prevent the Canadian government taking a cargo of liquor across the United States territory, a distance which can be covered in a few hours when the liquor will be in bond and under heavy guard" declared Capt. Black, to a representative of the Empire.
 II spent short time in New York City recently and saw liquor served openly. My observation has convinc- ed me that liquor is used freely in the United States and that the Yu- kon should be deprived of its liquor supply because the panhandle of Alaska breaks into the transporta- ton between Canadian points by such a short distance as that from Skagway to the summit, appeals to me as an unfair game on the part of the United States government. ''Last winter a representative of the Canadian government was sent to Washington to take up the ques- ton with the authorities there. He was advised to have the purchase of the seasons supply made ana that there would probably be no inter- ference in the transportation of the cargo over the United States Terri tory to Canada. After the purchase was made and ready for shipment from Vancouver no change in the existing regulations was made"
 Capt. Black said that the Canadian government officials are hoping against hope that the matter may be adjusted to permit shipments into the Yukon from British Columbia. The Hon. J. H. King, Minister of Public Works for Canada, represent
 ing the Canadian government, will place the matter before President Warran G. Harding, when the Pres
 ident passes through Vancouver on his return trip to the United States
 from Alaska, Capt. Black said.
