SPELLACY'S CAMPAIGN EXPENSES WERE $2,430 $30 for Hotel Rent and Re- mainder Was Given to State Central Com. Hartford, Conn,, Nov. 15.—Thomas J. Spellacy, who was the democratic nominee for United States senator, to- day filed his election expenses state- ment with the secretary of state and sent a copy to Washington. In the latter instance he sent the duplicate as an evidence of *‘good faith." By law, Mr. Spellacy was imited to an expenditure of $2,600 and his to- tal was $2,430. He sent $30 to a local hotel for rooms as headquarters at the time of the convention and $2,- 400 he gave to Fred P. Holt, treasur- er for the democratic central com- mittee. He said in the statement that he received checks and cash contri- butions from individuals, but these he turned over either to Mr. Holt or to James P. Berry of the town com- mittee.

All the women prisoners signed the ap- peal. b, Rumors current in Dublin this fore- noon that Miss MacSwiney had died were not confirmed by the prison au- thorities. Cardinal Logue, primate of Ireland, suggests the release of Miss Mary MacSwiney from the Mount Joy prison where ghe has been on a hunger strike for 11 days. His suggestion was con- tained in a telegram to Keevin O'Hig- gins, Free State minister of Home Af- fairs. The message said that more harm would be caused by detaining the women prisoners in Ireland than by liberating them. Yesterday a message requesting the Cardinal “to inform the Holy Father that the jall chaplain refuses the sacrament” to Miss MacSwiney was sent to him over the signatures of Mrs. Pearse, mother of PAtrick H. Pearse, “‘provisional president of Ire- land"” who was executed during East- er week, 1916: Mrs. Eamon Ceannt, whose husband also was executed; Mrs. Charles Burgess, widow of Eamon de Valera's minister of de- fense, and Mrs. O'Rahilly, who was recently released from prison.

Collapse Cansed by Deserting Socialists REGARDED AS T00 WEAK Failure to Make Practical Arrange. ment With Allied Reparations Com- mission 1Is Another Cause for Its Downfall. Berlin, Nov, 15 (By the Associated Press)—The German cabinet headed by Chancellor Wirth has fallen. The ministerfal resignations, filed last night, were precipitated by the de- cision of the united soclalists not to participate in a coalition ministry which included members of the Ger- man people’s party. But the friends of Chancellor Wirth were not ob- livious of the feeling that he had out- lived his usefulness and now has be- come a victim of a poliey of inac- cision and inactivity which found its culmination in the government's failure to make a practical arrange- ment with the Allied reparations com- mission during the coursé of its recent visit to Berlin. Had No Initiative Ever since the assassination of Forelgn Minister Rathenau, the chan- ¥ CELLOR WIRTH CHA cellor has been described as a man who apparently possessed no inspira- tion, ‘no initlative.

Domkoski was ad- mitted to the {nstitution yesterday morning. He had figured in an alter- cation at his home in Newington last Saturday night that resulted in his arrest and incarceration in the local police station, and he obtained his liberty on Sunday afternoon, when a member of his family presented an or- der from E. Stanley Welles, grand Juror of the town of Newington. Just what caused the death of Domkoski will be determined this evening, when Medical Examiner Dr. Waterman Lyon will conduct an autopsy at the hospital. Attacked Wife With: Club.

The fact was brought to the attention of the public last eve- ning by a group of High school girls, members of a High school sorority, intent upon devising laugh-provoking stunts for their unfortunate sisters- to-be. The candidates, neophytes or what- ever name {s given to such people, paraded down Main street dressed in fantastic costumes, carrying opened umbrellas, although there were no signs of rain, and blowing fish horns, for all the world like a Hallowe'en celebration. Needless to say, the girls attracted much attention, inas- much as they appeared so uncon- cerned and businessiike about the undertaking. Many people looked for the adver- tisement of some moving picture that they thought must surely follow such a demonstration, and when they found none, they decided it must be part of a sorority initlation. One of the girls spent much time yesterday afternoon ‘walking along Main street with a ‘“beer inspector's’ badge pinned on her coat, accosting passers-by and inquiring if they “had any booze” She was carefully watched by older and very dignified members of the sorority, in order to be sure that she carefully carried out her instructions. There probably are today several very sore, but also very happy girls at the school receiving the congratu- lations of their friends, and answer- ing to the call of “babe”, uttered by older sorority sisters. ® PACKING INDUSTRY MAY LINE UP ANEW Report Has It That Armour & Co.

The day before the head of Scot- land Yard was poisoned, sald Sir Wyndham, he received a letter from a relative saying a box of chocolates was being sent him for a birthday present. The next day a box of can= dies arrived and Sir Willlam, thinking they were his present, ate some of them. These were the poisoned can< dies. Shortly afterward the choco- lates from the relative arrived. Whether the arrival of the twe boxes almost at the same time was merely a coincidence, or whether re- markable cunning had been shown by the senders of the poisoned candy, is not known, The police, sald 8ir Wyndham, were working on a clue which might lead to an arrest.
