Financial WALL STREET STOCK EXCHANGE REPORTS Wall Street, 10:30 a. m.—United Bral steel was the outstanding fea- ture at the opening of today's mar- ket, a block of 2,600 shares changing yhu\d- at 88 5-8 down to 88 1-4 rep- resenting an extreme decline of 1 1-8 points. Thig was attributed to dis- Appointment by speculative interests in the failure of the steel directors to declare an extra disbursement of the common stock. The independent mtaels were slightly lower but oils, shippings, sugars and utilities were Digher by fractions to a point. Ex- change on London was firm, prob- ably in anticipation of favorable ad- vices later in the day regardimg Brit. ish industrial conditions.

Cause of Death The coroner asked what Dr. Grif- fiths considered the direct cause ot death. The doctor replied: “Heart failure following scurvy due to exhaustion from prolonged refusal to take food.” Cononer Wyatt in instructing the jury said that if it found the deceased had deliberately killed himself it should return a verdict of self-murder, 2, if it foun® his mind was unbalanc- od that he did not remlize what would be consequent upon his refusal of food it should find his death was due to suicide while of unsound mind, or, third, if it found the prisoner did not intend to kill himself but, owing to his physical condition death ensued the jury should returnm am open ver- dict, During the inquest the solicitor representing the treasury department revealed that five days befoye Mac- Swiney's death the home office read to him a statement signed by Secre- tary Shortt, as follows. Warned of Death “The secretary of state solemnly warns you that you will not be releas- ed and that you alone will be respon- sible for any consequences which may ensue on your persistence in refus- ing food.” To this Lord Mayor MacSwiney merely replied he had been told that previously. After the jury retired, Selicitor MacDonald suggested that a fourth verdict might be offered, namely “as due to his protest against his arrest.” Verdict In 12 Minutes The Jjury returned in 12 minutes and a juror read the verdict: “Death was due to heart failure consequent on a refusal of fpod. The coroner suggested that the find- ing be amplified by the inclusion of Dr. Grifiiths' testimony, to which the Jurors assented. The coroner then read the verdict in which Mayor Mac- Swiney wus referred to as a “volun- teer officer,” not mentioning the Irish republican army. The party had start- ed to file out when Solicitor MacDon- wuid ask the coroner to issue a burial permit saying interment would be in Ireland. The coroner declined to do this, saying he had no jurisdiction, The home office, however, granted the permit without delay and the body of Lord Mayor MacSwiney was turned over to his relatives in time to permit the original plans teo be carried out.

PRO-LEAGUE MEN (Continued from First Page). of their beloved ones if we do not make it as certain as it can be mad: that no similar sacrifice will be de- manded of mothers and sisters and wives in the future. This duty is so plain that it scems to me to constitute a primary demand upon the con- science of every one of us. It is in- conceivable to most of us that any men should have been so false or so heartless as to declare that the women of the country would & . suffer the intolerable burden and privatfon of war if the league of na- tions were adopted. Defend the League. “The League of Nations is the well- considered effort of the whole group | of nations who were opposed to Ger- many to secure themselves and the rest of mankind against a repetiton of the war. It will have back of it the watchfulness and material force of all these nations, and is such =« guarantee of a peaceful future as no well-informed man can question who does not doubt the whole spirit with which the war was conducted against German The great moral influence of the United States will be absolute- ly thrown away if we do not com- plete the task which our soldiers and sailors so heroically undertook to ex- ecute. “One thing ought to be said, and sald very clearly, about Article X of the covenant of the league of nations. It is the specific pledge of the mem- bers of the league that they will unite to resist exactly the things which Germany attempted, no matter who astempts them in the fuure. It is as exact a definltion as could ze given in general terms of the out- rage which Germany would have committed if it could. About Article X “Germany violated the territorial integrity of her neighbors and flouted thei political independence in order | to aggrandize herself and almost every was of history has originated in such designs. It is significant that the na- tions of the world should have at last combined to define he general cause of war and to exercise such concert as may be necessary to pre- vent such method. Article X, therefore is specifis re- demption of the pledge which the free government of the world gave to their people: when they entered the war, They promised the people not. anly that Germany would be prevented from carrying out her plot, but that the world would be safeguarded in the future from similar designs. We have now to choose whether we will make good or quit. We have Joined them and the issue is between the spirit and purpose of the United States and the spirit and purpose 6f imperialism, no matter where it shows itself. The spirit of imperialism is absolutely opposed to free govern- ment to the safe life of free nation to the development of peaceful in dustry and to the completion of the righteous processes of civilization. It seems to me, and I think it will seem to _you, that it is our duty to show he indomitable will and irresistible najesty of the high purpose of the "nited States so that the part we Juyed in ‘the war as soldiers and sailors may be crowned with the whievement of lasting peace. Nothing Better Offered. No one who opposes the ratifica- ion of the treaty of Versailles and he adoption of the covenant of the cague of nations has proposcd any other adequate means of bringing about settled peace. There is no other available or possible means, and this means is ready to hand. They have, on the contrary, tried t§ ger- suade you that the very pledge con- ained in Article X which the ssentizl pledge of the whole plan security, is itself a threat of war. It is, on the contrary an assurance of the concert of all the free peoples of the world in the future, as in the recent past, to see justice done and humanity proteced and vindicated. This is the true, the real American- ism, this is the role of leadership and championship of the right which the s ot e republic intended that t sould play. The so-called Ameri- canism which we hear so much prat- ing about now is spurious and in- vented for party purposes only. This choice is the supreme choice of the present campaign. It is re- grettahle that this choice should be associated with a party contest. As compared with the chaice of a course of action tpat now underlies every other, the.fate of parties is a matter of indifference. Parties are significant now in this contest only because the voters must make up their minds which of the two parties is most likely to secure the indispensable result. The nation was never called upon to make a more solemn determination than it must now make. The whole future moral force of right in the world de- pends upon the United States rather than upon any other nation, and it would be pitiful indeed if, after so many great free peoples had entered the great league, we should hold aloof. I suggest that the candidacy of every candidate for whatever office be tested by this question. Shall we or shall we not redeem the great moral obligations of the United States?” ™ New Haven Road Given Right to Issue Notes Washington, Oct. 27.—The New Haven railroad today was given per- mission by the interstate commerce commission to issue seven per cent. promissory notes to the amount of $2,000,000 and equipment trust notes to the amount of $3,500,000 of which $2,800,000 is to bear interest at 7 per cent. and $700,000 at 6 per cent. 43 Night Riders Are Arrested in South Montgomery, Ala., Oct. 27.—Forty- three alleged “night riders” have been =arrested in Cullman, Marshall and Blount counties within the past few days, according to announcements at the state law enforcement depart- ment and governor's office this morning.
