He said brandy was a poison and that a man at the point of death was very susceptible to poison. Dr. Oldfield add- ed that when a man fasted a long time the first food he could endure was fruit juice. When one of the officials was ask- ed today regarding Mrs, MacSwiney's absence from the bedside when death occurred he replied by saying the re- strictions which were recently im- posed upon the visits of relatives were urged by the attending physiclans as vital to the prisoner’'s own interest. Fed Last Week Within the past week when it be- gan to appear that the lord mayor was approaching the end he was given Hquid nourishment by the prison doc- tors during periods of unconscious- ness. This fact appeared in statements by both the Irish self-determination league, which has been issuing regu- lar bulletins of MacSwiney's condition and by the home office. The league’s statement showed the lord mayor as becoming extremely indignant upon regaining consciousness and realizing that he had been fed. “They tricked me and I didn’t know it” he exclaimed. The league’'s bulle- tin on October 21 contained this state- ment: “It should be made clear that the meat extract given the lord mayor during his dilirfum on the 69th day of his fast was the first nourishment which had passed his lips since his arrest on August 12." With regard to the theological as- pects of the lord mayor's strikd and that of the Irish prisoners in the Cork jail who began a similar absention from food shortly before MacSwiney's fast started, it was stated in a Rome dispatch on October 17 that Pope Benedict had referred the problem of the status of the hunger striking prisoners to the Congregation of the Holy Office. No Decision By Pope His Holiness had received many urgent appeals to make some pro- nouncement regarding these cases from persons of opposite view- points, imploring the Pontiff to reach Alametrically opposed, decisions on the question whether the deaths of the prisoners as a résult of their hunger strike would make them suicides. He had found widely divergent opinions also, it was added, among learned cardinals and other praminent figures in the church with whom he had dis- cussed the situation and therefore had laid the prablem before the Congrega- tion of the Holy Offite which settles questions of faith and morals and judges heresy. There has been no in- dication as to when a decision might be expected from this body. The first death among the hunger strikers oceurred on Sunday, October 17 when Mitehael Fitzgerald, éne of the 11 striking prisoners in the Cork jail suecumbed to the resuilts aof his self imposed fast, He had fasted 63 days. Several other of the Cork pris- oners are ‘declared now to be in a critical state. News Spreads Rapidly. As soon as the news of the lord mayor’'s death began to spread through the city small knots of people began moving toward Brixton prison. The police, however, did not alow anyone to move into the street leading to the prison entrance, keeping the people moving so that a crowd would not form. [ears had previously been ex- pressed that the lord mayor's death might cause a demonstration at the prison. The MacSwiney family arranged during the morning for the removal of the body from the prison to St George's cathedral in London as soon as the inquest w ended. The body will le In state there until it is taken probably on board a special train, to Dublin, where it is planned to place the body for a day or two in the Man- sion House. Place of Baurial. MacSwiney's grave will be along- side that of his official predecessor, Lord Mayor Thomas MacCurtain, who was shot in his home in Cork on March 20 MacSwiney will be the fourth to be buried in this plot, the others being MacCurtain, Sheamus McQuirke, who was taken out of bed in his Galway home and shot, and Jeremiah MoNesty, who participated in the Easter rising in Dublin, 1916, These arrangements are contingent upon the possibility of governmental interference, which, however, is re- garded as unlikely. The progress of the funeral party from Dublin to Cork will be marked by a series of services at all the populous centers en route. ' Final obsequies will be held in Cork | cathedral and interment will be made in St. Fin Bar's cemetery in Cork. The grave in which MacSwiney will be buried is known as “‘republican plot,” which has been reserved for Irish na- tionalist soldiers. No Outbreaks Expected Cork, Ireland, Oct. 25.—(By tho Associated Press)—Feverish interest in possible developments caused by eventualities, has a number of tanks and armored cars and is ready for instant service. Military forces are so strang that it is concidered improbable that any attempt at force will be made here. - It is understood the Irish parlia- ment had been making appeals to all elements of the papulation to refrain from violence. This is also believed to be the policy of various influential leaders of the Sinn Fein movemen Whether such counsels will be follow by the younger element or by mem- bers of the Irish republican brother- hood, one of the most militant of Irish secret societies, remains to be seen. PEOPLE'S CHURCH HEARS REY. TAYLOR “He That Winneth Souls Is Wise,” Topic of Sermon An interesting sermon was delivered yesterday morning at the People's church of Christ, by the pastor, A. B. Taylor. His sermon in part, which was entitled ““He that Winneth Souls is Wise,” follows. “Winning souls for Christ is a profitable business because it brings Joy to the heart of the one who is doing it and there is also a reward for this kind of service when the Lord comes. The Lord said ‘follow me and I will make you fishers of men,’ and if we are not fishers of men it is evi- dent that we are not tollowing him. When the Lord said, ‘Go ye into all the world and preach the gospel,” he not only meant a few preachers but everybody who has accepted him as their Savior. Philip was a layman, but he was led by the spirit and the Ethiopian was saved. “There is one thing that has always been hard for me to understand and that is that ninety out of every hun- dred professed Christians would rather do anything else than to try to win a soul for the Lord. { am convinced that I have found the reason. I tell you, when you go to ask a person about his welfare you must stand ‘folir square’ or you are the laughing stock to the world. “Do you want to be wise in the sight of God or in the sight ‘of the world? The world says the man that is wise is the man who lays up treas- ure here and enjoys himself in the pleasure of the world. But the Lord says the wise man is he who lays up treasures in heaven. Some people want to shine here but it is our privilege to shine in Glory.” Deaths and Funeral.% Miss Margaret Sheehan.

Interment the death of Lord Mayor MacSwiney of this city, which accurred in Brixton prison, London, this morning, is mingled with tho grief in which his death has plunged south Ireland.

LAWYER, 39 Hartford 1920 between | "Wake of Fitzgerald e London, Oct. 25.—The death of Lord Mayor MacSwiney was the first of an Irish hunger striker to occur in England. Just a week ago on the occasion of the death of Michael Fitzgerald, one of the 11 hunger strikers in the Cork jail, the lord mayor telegraphed: *“We do not kriow who is to be the second to step in the path of im- mortality, but by offering unreserved sacrifice we are safeguarding the destinies of Ireland.” It became evident several days ago that MacSwiney.was nearing the end. Up to that time he had steadfastly refused nourishment, although tempt- ing dishes were brought to his bed- side daily by the authorities. Both the authoritiés and the lord mayor’'s relatives emphatically stated they had not administered food to the prisoner, despite rumors to the contrary. At last, after the mayor, who had reached the stage of extreme emacia- tion, had become peniodically delir- ious, the officials began to give him liquid nourishment. ThiS came too late, however, as the mayor had been all but dead for many days. As the end approached the author- ities restricted the visits of his re- latives, declaring this was in the interest of the prisoner who wag said to be too weak for excitememnt. Last evening his brother Sean (John) and Father Dominic stayed in the prison ih view of the eventualities. Shortly before 6 o'clock this morning | they were summoned to see the lord mayor, who had taken a bad turn. They found him lying motionless, with his eyes open but unconscious. Father Dominic whispered a few prayers, but the dying man did not recognize him. The priest then recited the prayers for the dying, while Sean, the nurses, and the four doctors, in- cluding the expert advisor of the home office, stood by. Father Dominic and Sean then re- tired to aliow the doctors to do what they could for the lord mayor. Ome of them injected strychmine. Father Domfinic and Sean in the meantime were repeating Rosaries in Gaelic in another part of the ward. The physicians shortly notified them that the lord mayor was beyond human aid and Father Dominic again said the prayers for the dying. Just as he had finished the lord mayor breathed his last. The news of his death spread rapidly throughout the United King- dom and preparations for a great funeral weré immediately begun by the Sinn Fein. The plans, contingent upon governmemt @approval, include the body lyind®in state in St Georges HURT IN MERIDEN New Britain Man l“lgm-ea.'m Trolley and Automobile Collision on Colony Street—Lip Severely Cut. Charles W. Lines of Maple Hill was severely cut on the lip and his wife ‘was badly shaken up in an auto jacci- dent in Meriden Saturday night. Ac- cording to reports Mr. and Mrs. Lines ‘were traveling north on Colony street in that city, behind another automo- bile. Without warning, he said, the auto in front of him turned to the right and before he could realize what could happen he was gazing into the headlights of a trolley car. The trolley car was traveling south and according to eye witnesse pushed the automobile a considerable distance betore stopping. Mr. Lines suffered a deep cut about an mnch long on his lower lip which was cut through with a cut about one-half inch long on the inside. Mr. and Mrs. Lines were attended by Dr. Stoddard and later taken to their home by Harold Bye in his car. The front of the Lines's car was driv- en back into the automobile which made it unfit for rurther use until after repairs are made. HORT IN AUTO CRASH Newington Man Is Painfolly Injured When His Car Goes Over Bridge Near Elmwood. i Stanley Grinoski, aged 45 years, of Belden Station, Newington, was badly injured yesterday afternoon, whea an automobile he was driving crashed through a bridge near Fimwood. Grinoski was rushed to the local hospital, where he is suffering from bruises about the head and face. He may also have a concussion of the brain. The car in which Grinoski and the others werg riding, turned turtle after it crashed through an iron railing and fell into a brook below. None of’ the other occupants were injured. ‘Word was sent to the local police and the ambulance was dispatched to the scene, but the injured man was taken to the hospital in another machine. cathedral, in London, and the Man- sion House in Dublin, and a series of services en route from Dublin to Cork.
