DUBLIN, Feb. 17.-Republican
irregulars are attempting to buy
guns and ammunition from Soviet
Russia to carry on war against
the Irish Free State, President
William T. Cosgrave, of the Dali
Eireann, charged today. The
Free State official said the con-
flict would continue regardless

The statement of the Republican
irregulars that the Free State gov.

deliberate falsehood. declared Presi.

terms for reconciliation are clear
no others will be entertained.
(Note.-The keystone of the Free
State proposals was that the Re

arms before there could be an cleo
ton to determine the issue in dis
pute.)

There will be no going back. Their

81 AIN GIRL
CARRIED
PISTOL
Doctor Testifies He Saw Gun
In Typist's Handbag a
Week Before.

RICHMOND, Va, Feb. IT,
The defense in the Thomas Pol
lard killing trial scored heavily
today when it drew an admission
from DIR. +. Mel. Rennett that
he saw q pistol in the handbag Of
Mrs. Thelma Ham Richardson q
week before she was fatally shot
in front, Of Pollard's home the
night of December II, last.
DR.. Bennett said that she came
to his office for professional adj
vice, and that he happened to
see the pistol when she reached
in the bag to get some money to
pay him.
Bears Out POlIard's Story.
This was the first evidence ad-
. duced pending to hear out the con-
tention of the defense that Mrs.
Richardson had a pistol and car
ried it with her in her handbag
when she went to Pollard's home
the night of the tragedy.
The defense also contends that
she was accidentally shot with
this pistol after Pollard had
wrenched it from her hand.
Examination of Mosby West, one
of the leading witnesses in the case,
was resumed today by Prosecuting
/ Attorney Dave E. Satterfield at the
opening of the sixth day of the
trial.
J Satterfield, who was threatened
, with the "flu" yesterday and had
temperature 102 when court ad-
iourned at the close of the day,
seemed greatly improved today
when he appeared in court.
Examination of West was halted
for a few moments to permit DIR.
Bennett to testify, as he had an
| operation to perform later in the
day. His testimony had to do with
call which he received to attend
! Mrs. Richardson at the Jefferson
Hotel in January, 1921. Arriving
at the hotel, he summoned DR.. A.
! L. Herring, who agreed with him
that delicate operation would
have to be performed.
Tells Of Operation.
Pollard, he testified, paid him
$50 for the operation, which was
performed the following day. He
recalled seeing Pollard both at the
hotel and at the hospital, where
Mrs. Richardson went under the
knife. DR.. Bennett recalled that
the young woman came to his office
for professional advice, seemingly
greatly worried about her condi.
ton. She had eruptions on her
skin and was also suffering from
hoarseness of the throat. He as
sured her, he said, that she was
suffering only from acid in the
system. In response to- a question
from the defense. he stated that
when Mrs. Richardson: reached in
her handbag for money toppay him
he observed a pistol in the bag.
Mrs. Richardson, DR.. Bennett wen
on, tried to conceal the pistol from
his view by ramming it down in thu
bag and covering it with her hand
When the murder" pistol was pro
duced in court, together with seVera
other weapons. he said that it looked
like the pistol he saw in the handbag
Offered No Explanation.
Taking up this weapon, he placed
it in the bag and showed the jury
how the pistol lay in it and how
she manipulated the weapon wher

of aliases, including Marshall and
Harrison. He told Detective Daily

FOR
5-CEN /
FARE
Senator couzens Says water
ed Stock" Is Keeping
Price Up.

Senator James Couzens Of
Michigan, former mayor of
Detroit and traction expert, today
made a striking appeal in the
Senate for 5 cent street car fares
IN the District Of Columbia.
Blames Trouble On Water.
I'VE should vote for fi1e. cent
street ear fares IN the District Of
Columbia, s'said Senator Couzens.
''I hope the amendment Of Senator
Mcclellan will be adopted.
t'Watered stock has entered
largely into the local street car
situation. Over long period Of
years one OF the companies was
permitted to earn large dividends
on its watered stock.
eff the public utilities commits
sion had attempted to lower fares
when these high earnings were
made, the company would have
gone into court and insisted upon
its contract rights.
Now, however, the tables are
reversed. 1t is the company which
Is violating its contract rights in
order to get a high rate of fare.
Forgetting entirely that it earned
large dividends over a long period
of years, it is now unwilling to
take losses for a few years."
At this point Senator Mcclellan in
terrupted to say that he did not be-
lieve either of the local companies
would lose money on a scent fare.
Senator Couzens responded that
there were many cases in which a
high rate of fare had resulted in de-
creased earnings for traction cor.
porations.
Debated for an Hour.
The, position of the Engineer
Commissioner is now well under
stood" continued Senator Couzens
HE thinks ali critics of the Public
Utilities Commission are dema
gogues. With that point Of view II
is no wonder that the local street cal
situation is getting worse"
For more than an hour the Sen
ate today debated the 5-cent fare
proposition in the District. Senator
Mcclellan precipitated the debate
by offering his amendment proVid
ing for scent fares to one Of the
minor District bills which came uI
for consideration on the calendar.
Senator Ball, chairman of the Sen
ate District Committee, said hi
thought a merger of the two com
panies would soon be an accSm
pIished fact, and that it would
result in an improved traction situa
tion here.

If Back Hurts
Flush Kidneys
Drink Plenty of Water and Take
Glass of Salts Before Break
fast Occasionally

When your kidneys hurt and your
back feels sore, don't get scared and
proceed to load your stomach with
lot of drugs that excite the kidneys
and irritate the entire urinary tract.
Keep your kidneys clean like you keep
your bowels clean, by flushing them
with mild, harmless salts which helps
to remove the bodys urinous waste
and stimulate them to their normal
activity.
The function of the kidneys is to
filter the blood. In "a hours they strain
from it 500 grains of acid and waste,
so we can readily understand the vital
Importance of keeping the kidneys active.
Drink lots of good water-you can't
drink too much; also get from any
pharmacist about four ounces OF Jad
Salts. Take a tablespoonful in glass
of water before breakfast each morn
ing for few days and your kidneys
may then act fine. This famous salts
is made from the acid of grapes and
lemon juice, combined with lithia, and
has been used for years to help clean
and stimulate clogged kidneys; also to
neutralize the acids in the system so
they are no longer a source Of irrlta-
ton. thus often relieving bladder weak
ness.
lad Salts in inexpensive; can not in
lure; makes a delightful effervescent
Whitewater drink which everyone should
take now and then to help keep their
kidneys clean and active. Try this. also
keep UP the water drinking, and no
doubt you will wonder what became of
your kidney trouble and backache. By
all means have your physician examine
your kidneys at least twice year.

ALBANY'S CASE GOES TO
u. S. SUPREME COURT NOW
Appeal in Election Suit Taken to
Highest Court in Land.

ATLANTA, Ga.-Albany's famous
city-manager election case, at least in
one OF its phases, has been appealed
to the United States supreme court
on writ OF error and the writ was ap-
proved by Chief Justice Russell. This
branch OF the case has to do with the
women voting in the election OF last
year.
The case, sounding Davis ct. al VS..
Warde ct. al, raised the question
whether women must have paid poll
tax Aug. 20, 1920 to be eligible to vote
in an election which was held in 1922.
The Georgia supreme court held
they did not have to. Now the writ OF
error to the United States supreme
court contends by that action that the
Georgia supreme court has gone con-
trary to the nineteenth federal consti-
tutional amendment and in fact, has
set up a sex barrier against the rights
Of male voters.
