irish ELECTIONS
SPECULATED ON
Prospects for Success Of Govern
ment Party Are Good Is Belief

BY The Associated Press
London, Aug. 25.--The morning
newspapers carry long special dis
patches from Dublin reviewing the
election prospects The correspond
ents record general belief that the
success of the government party is as
sured but admit existence of sufficient
unknown quantities to leave some
doubt on this point, especially in view
of the large number of new electors.
Opinion seems to be virtually
unanimous that however the govern
nlent party fares the new Dali will
contain considerable majority in
favor of the treaty and the Free State
constitution. One estimate is that the
anti-treatyites will not obtain more
than % or 80 seats.
The statement of Frank Aitken, De
Valera's chief of staff, that whatever
happens the republicans will not sur
render their arms is said to have
greatly damaged the republican
chances. Aitken has euded capture
and issues encouraging messages to
his supporters although it is said he

GOVERNOR TEMPLETON
ON COAL SITUATION
Connecticut Has No Need For Great
Alarm, He Says, After
Conference.

Hartford, Aug. 25.--Following the
conference of New England govern
ors at Boston on Thursday, Governor
Templeton said yesterday that Ire did
not expect to call a special session
of the Connecticut legislature to
adopt legislation bearing upon the
proposed railroad situation in this
section.
The report on the hard coal situa-
ton as made to the governors, to-
gether with such information as the
governor has obtained in this state,
satisfied him that the situation con-
fronting Connecticut is not alarming
and he said he saw no immediate
need for declaring a fuel emergency
He will attend the conference of the
governors of anthracite consuming
states to be held in New York next
Tuesday, and has invited Charles W.
Jaynes of West Hartford, who was
deputy fuel administrator under
Thomas w. Russell. to accompany
him.
Connecticut people will be urged to
order their winter supply of anthra-
cite coal without delay in a state
ment which the governor said he ex-
pected to make within a few days.
He said he would also recommend
the use of substitutes for hard coal
so far as possible.

Beat Woman, Abused Baby

New York. Aug. 25-Another charge
of police brutality developed yester-
day. It concerned Denis A. King, a
patrolman of the Simpson street sta
ton, the Bronx, and alleged that
King entered the apartment of Mrs.
Artemy Holodko, at No. Ills East
165th street, seized the three-months-
old infant she held at her breast,
threw the baby upon a couch and
then beat Mrs. Holodko.
Maurice B. Rich, an attorney, of
No. Sc Broadway, las night sent d
letter to Commissioner Enright de-
manding that both King and George
Stevens, a patrolman of the same pre-
cinct who was in the house at the
time, be brought to trial.
? King Did 1t Says Woman,
The woman's husband said last
night, however. that Stevens took no
part in the alleged assault; that his
wife had told him the attack was
solely the work of King and that the
other policeman had acted like n
gentleman"

the baby carriage, and she said her

INTERESTING LINK INl HISTORY SEVERED BYI
 DEATH OF MRS. GREET|
Her Great Uncle and Grand father Were Early Gov-
 ern0rS of Alabama

HUNTSVILLE, Ala, April 14.-- Especial. )-When the remains of Mrs. Lille Bibb Greet were laid to rest here among many notable men and women who have here found their last rest ing place during a period of more than a hundred years, connecting ling with the past was severed which has drawn renewed attention to the part played by Mrs. Greet and her forebears in Alabama history. Her took the oath of office as Alabama s first governor in Huntsville. and her grandfather, Thomas Bibp. was the states second governor. Gov. Thomas Bibb built the colonial come in Limestone county. which he called Belle Nina, and which IS still one of the most picturesque of the historic homes Of Alabama.
 It was in this home that Mrs. Greet was born, october 23, 1874, her father being the senior Porter Bibb and her m other Mary Betts Bibb. Lille Bibb was born th/ same day and the same year as Sarah Bernhardt, and in after
 
 in Memphis and New Orleans, she be- came interested in her career in a peculiarly personal way. an interest which continued keen until the recent death of the French woman.
 While Mrs. Greet possessed warm sympathies and unselfish impulses, she was always woman of inde- pendent thought and action. tTypi- cal of this was her daring during the Civil war. when as a young lady she burned a bridge across Limestone creek near her home to hamper the advance of federal troops. For this act she was put under arrest and brought to Huntsville, where she was given a military trial by the United States army authorities. at that time in charge of the city. She was later released and her fathers home, Belle Nina. was for time used as head quarters by General Garfield. Soon after the war she married William Greet, a cousin of Ben Greet, the English actor, and their entire mar ried life was spent In Huntsville. In recent years she had made her home with her daughter in Birmingham, where her death occurred Wednesday morning. following stroke of par alysis sustained last Sunday.

SHIPPING POTATOES TO BIRMINGHAM MARKET
Aliceville Citizen Raising "Yams'
 On Big Scale

CARRoLLToN Ala, April If (Special)-It was only a few years ago that J. N. Morrow, one of the progressive citizens in Aliceville, sat isfied himself that there was good money in raising sweet potatoes for shipment to other markets, and was also fully convinced that dry kiln was the only feasible plan for the handling of the crop. Therefore he erected large dry kiln and set about the task of demonstrating to others there was ready cash in the crop outside of a cotton crop. The eXper- iment was a success.
 During the past week Mir. Morrow loaded out two cars of potatoes for the Birmingham market and they are finding a ready sale. due to the ex- cellent quality and fine flavor. ac- cording to reports received by him from Birmingham.
 MT. Morrow was the only man to erect dry kiln in the county for the caring of the potato crop and Is now receiving a handsome reward for the venture.
