COSGRAVE RETAINS IRISHPRESIDENCY Executive Council Head Re- elected by Majority of Six Votes. By the Associated Press. DUBLIN, Irish Free State, October 12.—President William T. Cosgrave has been reelected President of the Irish Free State executive council by the new Dail Eireann with a majority of six over his opponents and now will proceed to form his cabinet. His nomination as President was op- posed by members of the Fianna Fail (De Valera party) and Laborites. No alternative nomination was made, how- ever, and Cosgrave, receiving the sup- port of six Farmers and 11 Indepen- dents, obtained an easy election. Hayes Named Speaker. Michael Hayes was re-elected speak- er without opposition. Eamonn de Val- era, making his first speech in the new Dail in Irish, protested that the announced that he its reduction to too much and would later move £1,000, The first sitting was not sensational. Sean O’Kelly, De Valera's chief lieuten- ant, in opposing the re-election of Cos- grave, spoke in Irish, roundly denounc- ing the whole Cosgrave administra- tion. President Cosgrave sat opposite, but as he is not an Irish scholar, he could not understand what he was hearing. Finance Minister Blythe, however, passed to the President slips of paper on which he had written a translation of O'Kelly's remarks. The burden of O'Kelly's attack was that the Cosgrave policy was respon- sible for a great increase in emigra- tion and at that the bulk of the 250, 000 emigrants driven out by the Cos- grave policy belong to the Kepubli- can party, Cosgrave Defers Reply. The opposition speakers also de- nounced the public safety act. Blythe in defending it said that the act was necessary to prevent the ‘“Balkani- zation of Ireland. Sean Lemass, De Valera director of elections, said that the Fianna Fail would not shirk the responsibility of government if Cosgrave were de- feated. Though both De Valera and Labor party leaders deny that there is any- thing like an alliance between ‘the two, the Laborites voted solidly with De Valera, and close co-operation be- tween these parties in the opposition is considered certain, Cosgrave did not attempt to take up any of the opposition challenges in erday’s discussion: He contented himself “with observing that there would be plenty of time for this in the next five vears. The opinion of observers is that unless he presses controversial legislation Cosgrave can carry on for at least-one year even with his present small majority. Col. Hannah Assigned. Col. James G.

NASHVILLE, Tenn., October 12.— The little table that Bishop.Francis Asbury sat behind when he presided over the first Methodist Conference in the Cumberland Valley, in 1808, and the gavel he wielded again are to find places in the councils of the church after nearly a century in other hands. They recently were recovered by Bishop Horace M. Dubose, after a search of more than 15 years, and he plans to use them tomorrow when he calls to order the Tennessee Confer- ence of the Methodist Episcopal Church South, at Franklin. A historical account of the relics also will form the theme of part of Bishop Dubose’s opening address, in for Session This Year which he will trace the_origin of Methodism in Tennessee. During the meeting, he will present them to the conference. Liberty Hill, near Brentwood, the site of BishopAsbury’s first conference in Tennessee after the new faith bad penetrated the wilderness west of the Alleghanies, will furnish much of the data for Bishop Dubose’s address. It | was there in the old brick church that | Bishop Asbury's gavel lay until the structure was dismantled. Since then it had been in the possession of an aged woman of Brentwood, from whom Bishop Dubose obtained it. The table came into his hands through Miss Sarah Frost of Nash- ville, whose uncle bought it for 15 cents at a sale many years ago. NURSES OFFER HOSPITAL ATTENTION AT HOMES Aims of Society Explained by Mrs. Cross as Twenty-eighth Year Begins. Affording expert hospital service to those who prefer to be nursed at home was emphasized as the principal mis- on of the Instructive Visiting Nurse ciety yesterday by Mrs. Whitman Cross, presiding at the first board meeting of the twenty-eighth year of the organization of the society. It was pointed out at the meeting that an increasing number of doctors are coming to rely on the Instructive Visiting Nurse Soclety service in the care of patients who do not require & fulltime nurse and that financial support is meeded from the general public to carry on the free service work along broadly humanitarian lines conducted by the society. The pay- service nursing is self-supporting. Charles W. Pimper announced on behalf of the Newcomers Club a gift of $10 monthly toward the care of a mother and new born baby, and a rising vote of thanks was accorded the club.

Woman Says Two Sellers, Claiming to Be From Ireland, Swindled Her. “Irish lace” ' swindlers are again operating here, according to a report received by the police yesterday from Mrs. William, Bralove, 1728 Webster street. Two women, supposedly mother and daughter, claiming to be from Ire- land, appeared at the Bralove home about noon yesterday and sold a plece of lace said to have been brought from Ireland. After the departure of the women, police were informed, Mrs. Bralove be- came convinced she had been swindled. She had paid the women entirely too much for the lace that turned out to Be,of & clged maks and e AIRDALE “SALLY” GRABS FLEEING HOUSE THIEF Burglar Tackled as He Escaped With Loot, But Finally Makes His Get-away. Sally may be a lady, but she certain- ly can get rough when any one in- trudes in her boudoir. A certain unidentified burglar, who attempted to perform his nefarious practices in Sally’s home, at 3717 Mili- tary road, early today, will testify as to_that. Sally, who comes of an elegant Aire- dale family, not only barks, but bites, when occasion demands, and this morning was one of those occasions. When M. P. Ricketts, brother of the pet’s owner, Miss Edna Ricketts, reached downstairs' to investigate a racket, he glimpsed the burglar leap- ing through a front window, with Sally at his heels. The man escaped in spite of Sally’s heroic efforts to hold at least part of him, and an investigation disclosed that he had taken with him jewelry valued at more than $200 and $5 in cash. The loot was stolen from Miss Ritkett’s bedroom while she slumber- ed on a sleeping porch. Had it not been for Sally, members of the family declare, the burglar might have garnered a richer harvést.

VAST FLOOD RELIEF FAVORED BY NORRIS Senator Sees Need of Quick Action on Great Program of Control. By the Associated Press. A vast program of flood control, en- compassing dams, irrigation and hydro-electric power plants in the States on the upper basin of the Mis- sissippl is favored by Senator Norris of Nebraska, a leader of progressives in_the Senate. Recognizing that there must be re- lief for the lower river States at the eoming session of Congress, Senator Norris said he desired prompt action for the replacement and strengthen- ing of levees wherever needed to curb the Mississippi’s torrent in the next flood season. Wants Complete Survey. After that is done he wants a com- mission appointed to study the whole problem of control, involving not alone the main river, but all of its tributaries to the West, so that a plan can be worked out wherepy flood waters can be retained at their sources and harnessed there for irrigation and power generation purposes. “Much water flows through Colo- rado, Nebraska and other States,” the Senator said, “and it is needed there for irrigation and power purposes. If this water were put on the land it would do much good in the upper States instead of so much damage in the lower States, as at present. “By building dams at the sources of much of the flood water we could utilize some it for the generation of cheap hydro-electric power in some places and at other places irrigation systems could be worked out to the great benefit of the surrounding country.” Favors California Dam. Senator Norris takes the view that flood control generally should be ap- proached as a great national problem to be worked out along broad lines. He favors constructioh of a dam in Boulder Canyon for flood protection for California’s Imperial Valley and/ for the generation of power. The Nebraskan insists, however, that any power plants built at this or other dam sites be operated by the Federal Government, so that cheap power will be assured to the con- sumers. He is hopeful that the Colo- rado River legislation can be enacted at the coming session of Congress. The Senator also hopes Muscle Shoals can be taken care of at the next session, thus disposing of a prob- lem that has vexed the House and Senate for more than seven years. He will insist on Government opera- tion of the power plant there, as he has in the past, and expects Congress to enact a measure calling for such operation.
