ERIN DEMORALIZED ASDISORDER GROWS People Refuse to Pay Debts and Court Decrees Often ‘Prove Worthless. O’HIGGINS SEEKS PEACE BY WILLIAM H. BRAYDEN. By Cable to The Star and Chicago Duily News. Copyright, 193, DUBLIN, January Ireland is not only sick with armed strife, but is suffering from wide-spread demor- alization and the dissolving of the common sanctions of life. While the irregulars are bombing troops and wrecking trains, many normally de- cent people are refusing to pay their debts. They are sued in the courts; and decrees obtained against them,) but these decrees are often waste paper and the sherifts in many dis- tricts have sheaves of them which they are unable to execute. Putting down the rebellion is the work of Gen. Mulcahy. The restora- tion of civil law is the task of Home as to his pla well under thirt, nephew of Governor neral Healy and £randson of T. D.

O'Higginy Backs Sheriftx. Secretary O'Higgins told the cor- respondent that it was his int~ation to enable all sheriffs to enforce ~jvil decrees. Everybody who can pay his debts will be forced to pay. He is giving each sheriff an armed guard of fifty picked soldiers to protect him in making scizure of the oods of defaulters. Even seizuyfes when ac- complished have hitherfo been fruit- to extract money because in ¥ places the goods seized could not find buyers. Therefore, O'Higgins said he I-| taking power to sell seized goods any- n outside of Free State and this obviously means seized cattle could be soid in Liverpool or in Belfast. He believes that extreme measures on a large scale will not be necessary and that once the defaulters are convinced by effective demonstration that the gov- ernment is in earnest they will pay up without further trouble. New Police Unarmed. Mr. O'Higeins expressed great satis- faction at the efliciency of twenty- six new magistrates he had appointed for the 1 courts and said that they were functioning with popular sympathy. He has great hopes of his new police. The old constabulary w: a semi-military force fully equipped with rifies and thereby obstructed in its civil duties. Hence he has sent out the new police force entirely unarmed Tha correspondent asked him wheth- er he thought it safe to expose these men to visk of armed attacks by irregulars, zzd he replied that the ir- regulars, he was convinced, would prefer to see them armed. They would be encouraged to attack them in the of capturing the weapons, and d try to justify their attacks as of wary Drink . Problem Serlor The police, according to O'Higgins, are standing up courageously to all intimidations. They are mostly men | who proved their mettle in the fight | against the English when many Ir- vegulars showed no fight. The prin- | cipal task of the police will be t check illicit drink traffic. Not only are the licensing laws in many dis- tricts disregarded and drink sold at prohibited hours, but the manufacture of poteen (illicit whisky, paying no tax) has become a flourishing indus- try. O'Higgins attributed some of the recent terrible outrages to fremzy caused by this powerful drink. Four thousand police are enrolied. Most of | them are at work, with the rest in training, and he expects that they will succeed in checking these evils, Damage Grows Apace. Secretary O'Higgins, like other min- tsters, recelves many threatening let- ters and must be conscious of ex- risks, but he ignores them and | ahead. The correspondent | ght it significant that he had as sle pleture in his room a me- mori in the shape of the last it of his friend, Michael Col- aid out in death.’ He would re- 1y to no questions as to the suppres. | sion of the rebellion. He sald it was ' a military matter, but within his own | department he would do all possible | to restore Ireland to normal condi- | tions. | But everybody here realizes that all | betterment plans must fail unless this | rebellion is stopped, and as yet there is no prospect of a speedy end to the | conflict. ¥ach week seems to bring | & heavier toll of damage than the last, | Apex Rotarex Electric Co,, 1317 N. ¥.

Hudson, Sr., Makes Inef- foctual Effort to Shoulder Crime for Son. By the Associated Press. MEMPHIS, Tenn., January 24.—John W. Hudson, jr., dairyman, of White Haven, Tean,, y was under a death sentence for the slaying of Mrs. Hattle B. Ferguson last February, despite the dramatic testimony of his father, In which he assumed blame for the ‘woman's . Young Hudson re- celved the sentence to electrocution stoieally, but his father paled and trembled. ‘The younger Hudson during the trial repudiated a confession he was alleged to have made upon his arrest and testified in substantiation of the statement of Hudson, senior, that the young woman had been kilied while the three of them struggled for a pistol she had placed in the older man's hand, with the request that he shoot her ‘and his son. Mrs. Fer- suson was killed in a_woods, from which young Hudson fled and was arrested near Chattanooga. Defense attorneys filed notice of an appeal immediately after sentence was passed. They indicated that the confesgion alleged to have been made by Hfdson and introduced as evi- dence at the trial would be & chief point of their attack. In_selection of the jury Judge J. Ed Richards held that counsel for the state and the defense could in- terrogate veniremen only through the court, and he held further that! having formed an opinion based on v urported to be a copy of a! fon dizquality a an for jury service if the venireman said he could and would lay aside any oplnion formed from that source. ‘The defense interrogated only one venireman through the court and challenged him peremptorily. challenged every juror for caus: thus, they indicated, placed the ques- tion of the qualitylng of jurors through the court In the record for review by the suprems court. Mrs. Edward Lazansky, whose hus- band is a New York supreme court justice, believes that if more wives had interest in the business world! there would be fewer protests when business keeps husbands out of the home.

By the Associated Press. LONDON, January 24.—An appeal for funds for a permanent memo- rial to the late Walter Hines Page, former American ambassador Great Britain, will be od with- in & few days over the signatures of Prime Minister Bonar Law, the Earl of Balfour, Herbert H. As- quith, David Lloyd George and Lord Grey—the Brit! ministers with whom the ambassador was brought into closest contact. The form the memorial is to take will be dependent upon the amount of the contributione. The appeal results from the ac- tivities of the committee appointed recently after St. Loe Strachey had proposed in the Spectator, of which he is editor, a memorial in Westminster_Abbey to Mr. Page, and Sydney Brooks, writing in the Landmark, devoted to the Interests of the English-speaking peoples, had declared it was not creditable to Great Britain that the splendid services Mr. Page had rendered during the war, through five years of his ambassadorship, should remain uncommemorated. Mr. Strachey has received many letters from all classes approving his proposition. - THAYER | SUPERIOR PRINTING Small Where Work Quality and Exclusively Servics Moet PHONE MAIN 1816 909 12th St. N.W.

As most cost items represent actual cash outlay. mdlawmfdmle Large fixed investments in stor- age bins, amounting sometimes to more than half a million dol- lars in even a medium-sized plant—for cement is a bulky material and has to be kept dry. As things turned out, last year was a record one in the demand for cement. Government figures show 116,563,000 barrels were shipped, yet that was less than 80 per cent of the industry’s produc- ing capacity. And nearly 70 per cent or 80,000,000 barrels of this total was called for by cement users in the six-months’ period, May to October inclusive. This shows the seasonal nature of demand for cement. Most people still believe that the “building season” meanssix or seven months + of the year instead of twelve, Last year more than 14,000,000 barrels of cement were shipped during August and less than 3,000,000 barrels in January. X Cement being a basic building ma- terial is a prime mover—in words, the demand for cement immediately creates a demand for this comes at a time when crop and fuel movements are already overtaxing the railroads. In anticipating future demand and in educational work to lengthen the so-called building season, ce- ment manufacturers are always trying to serve your best interests.
