SHAMMING INSANITY
 IN EFFORT TO SECURE
 RELEASE FROM PRISON

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 6.-Kid Me Coy, former pugilist, charged with the murder of Mrs. Theresa Mors here last August 12, will be visited at the county jail today by Alienists instruct ed by the district attorney to deter mine what, if any truth there may be in reports that the alleged slayer is going insane.
 According to attendants, Mccoy has been writing love letters to the woman he is accused of shooting to death, and on several occasions has asked permission to call her on the tele- phone. These and other actions are regarded by the prosecution as mere ly continuation of an insanity sham" undertaken by the prisoner soon after his arrest, and the district attorneys office expects the alienists to reiterate their previous conclu- sions that Mccoy is entirely sane.

SAYS IRELAND CAN
 BE TRADING NATION

DUBLIN, Nov. 4.-"Ireland seems to be taking her place with the other countries of Europe who are struggling under permanent in debtedness. In large sense Ire land was starting without burden" This was the opinion of Judge Co., halan in a recent interview The judge who is on visit to Ireland, will not return to America for some months yet.
 Irish bank statistics show that there is plenty of capital in the country, and if capital could be prop erly worked there would be an end to unemployment. But I would not like to see Ireland become an indus trial country in the sense that the United States. England and Germany are" he added.
 Because of it's geographical posi- tion as we'll as of the genius of it's people Ireland should become one ot the great trading nations Of the world, but to do this care must be given to the reorganization of the transport system, development of rivers, waterways and harbors. There is no reason why Ireland, with it's wonderful harbors, should not be made the land to which the great bulk of American products to Europe should be sent before being dis tributed to the various countries to be consumed.
 Last year American tourists spent over $4OO,OO0,000 in Europe. Twenty per cent. of that amount could be spent in Ireland of cam paign of preparation and advertising were carried out on behalf of Ire land But the Irish people must be content with the small profits from many rather than large profits from few, and not get the name of over charging. In overcharging the Irish are simply overreaching themselves because one dissatisfied tourist re- turning to America keeps hundreds of others from coming to Ireland" /"
