Biddy Has Been Sad Since Little

FRENCH LICK, Ind, Oct. 8.-The
strange case of Biddy, French Lick's
most forlorn fowl, has been reported
to psychologists at Indiana Univer-
sity for investigation.
1t was this way. "Biddy," at the
time a pert and petite pullet. be-
came attached to little Eva Taggart,
4-year-old daughter of Thomas D.
Taggart, president Of the French
Lick Springs Hotel Company, and
grand daughter of Thomas Taggart,
former senator and Democratic
leader.
She was selected as a pet by the
girl, and could be seen clucking con-
tentedly at her heels as the child
wandered over the hotel grounds.
At last, after several weeks stay,
Eva and her parents departed, leav-
ing Biddy behind.
Now, Biddy, grown to henhood,
walls modify by herself over the
green hotel lawns. She looks neither

WORSHIP FAILS
TO CEASE FOR
LACK OF PRIESTS
Dozens May Be Seen Kneel-
ing in Prayer at Any Hour
in Mexican Churches.
BY GESFORD F. FINE
United Press stan Correspondent

MEXICO CITY, Oct. S.-The
barred doors of the Cathedral Of
Mexico is the only sign that the
Catholic Church is not functioning
in Mexico. The churches, with the
exception of the Cathedral, are open
everywhere, and at any hour dozens
may be found kneeling in prayer.
The blesseed sacrament is no
longer kept in the churches be-
cause there are no priests, but this
does not prevent large numbers
from continuing their devotions in
the same spot where for years they
knelt at daily or Sunday mass.
Most of those who come to pray in
the priestless houses of worship are
of the peon class in whom the re-
ligious instinct dies hard.
Except for the absence Of flow
ers and white altar cloths the
churches look much the same.
Candles burn before the images of
the Virgin, the Sacred Heart and
the saints.
Before the church doors the beg
CARS sit cross-legged in their &C
cuStomed places. On them seems
to rest chiefly whatever burden Of
sorrow the change in the churches
has brought. Their heads are
bowed, their eyes focused on the
ground.
One can imagine them raising
their heads only to the now unfa-
miliar sound of bells in the towers
above them or to the echoes of
hur-ying footsteps of those on their
way to mass.
1t is these sad bundles Of rags
and dirt which more than anything
else seem to remind one that to
millions, though the doors are open,
there Is no one home"

She was honestly bewildered.

"I'm not one of the big-hearted

Nancys cheeks paled.
Eyes, yes; go on!"

COOLIDGE HOPE
KEPT ALIVE BY
G. 0. P. LEADERS
Worry Over Strength Shown
by AL Smith; Pressure
Put on Dawes.
BY RAY TUCKER

WAL AO<4AG4v
WASHINGTON, Oct. 8.-Wofried
over Governor AL Smiths growing
strength and unsettled conditions in
their own party. Republican leaders
who attended Senator Buffers con-
ference have departed for home with
two-fold program for reuniting
their ranks. It contemplates:
A movement to mobilize public
and political sentiment for drafting
President Coolidge as the one sure
hope Of G. o. P. victory.
An attempt to persuade Vice
President Dawes to permit his name
to be used openly as a presidential
candidate.
Republican national committee
men have little hope that their first
project will succeed. But within the
next few months 1t is planned to
stimulate demand for Coolidge so
vociferous and widespread that 1t
may lead him to reconsider.
Dawes Next in Line
Should this final effort fail, many
Of the Old Guard crowd will turn to
Dawes The feeling that the Low
den movement has lost its momen-
tum is said to have convinced many
Republican chieftaias that Dawes
may consent to adopt the attitude
Of at least a passive candidate.
Dawes is preferred to Hughes and
Hoover by many Of those who at
tended the Butler meeting. Most Of
them agreed that, despite Charles
D. Hilles' efforts on his behalf, that
Hughes cannot command sufficient
support to make him a serious can
didate.
There is widespread support for
Hoover, but 1t Is not organized, ac-
cording to present reports. The pol
iticians do not seem to want him,
and he does not appeal to certain
big business interests.
Whether his supposed hold on the
public can overcome these two bar
riers it is too early to answer.

and political demand for him. : -.

Much nicer indeed, added the Presi-
dent, than to want something you

S|NN FEIN'S WOMAN LEADER, COUNTESS
 MARK|EWCZ, DIES
WHOLE FAMILY ENTERED RUS. SIAN ARMY DURING WORLD
 WAR

DUBLIN, July 15 (P)-Countess Markievicz, active in the Irish Repub- lican cause died early Friday morn ing. She recently underwent two op- erations for appendicitis from which she failed to recover.
 The chief concern of Countess Markievicz as Sim Fein's woman leader was in the welfare of Ireland's laborers. She was beloved by the poorest of Dublin's wage earners who felt that in her they had an un- compromising friend.
 Her first entry into public affairs, in the rebellious course of which she several times was jailed and once sentenced to death, was in connec- tion with the labor movement. It was about the time when James Larkin in 1913 brought off a long continued strike effecting nearly every form of industry in Dublin. Larkin demanded a minimum wage of one pound a week for unskilled workers.
 Constance Markievcz threw herself wholeheartedly into the agitation of Larkin for an improvement in the conditions of the poor, and was in close contact with James Connolly, chief organizer of the Citizen Army.
 When the world war broke out Count Markievicz, her husband, and their son of II or 15 years went off to fight for Russia. The countess remained in Dublin and wherever there was trouble she was in it.
 She was conspicuous in the rebel lion of Easter week, in 1916, when in top boots, brooches, service tunic and feathered hat, she commanded a contingent which captured the Col lege of Surgeons. Her surrender was characterstically dramatic She first shook hands with all her of ficers, then kissed her revolver and handed it over to the British com- mander. After court martial, she was sentenced to death, but Sir John Maxwell commuted her sentence to penal servitude for life. In June 1917, she was internationally releas- ed by the British government with the other Sim Fein prisoners.
 A prominent figure in the subse- quent rise of Sim Fein, Countess Markievicz was elected a member of the Dali. She was the first woman ever elected to a seat in the British House of Commons, and had she not joined the Sim Fein members who boycotted parliment, she, rather than Lady Astor would have been the first of her sex to be presented as member of parliment.
 Countess Markievicz was the daughter of an Anglo-Irish father, Sir Henry Gore-Booth, who became the Countess Markievicz, was passed amid the usual occupations of a typ ical family of the territorial land lord class. She was a keen rider to hounds and a noted figure in the social life of County Sligo. Her sis ter, Eva Gore-Booth, who shared her love of nature and of the tenants on their fathers estate, became a dis tinguised poet
 Through all her adventures COun- tess Markievicz maintained the bear ing of a lady of position. She had charming manners and an elert and quick intelligence.
 The fact that in her youth she had been presented at the court of Queen Victoria was recollection that did not readily occur to those who first
