LOUIS Proposed Ordinances Will be Voted at Referendum Election Today. St. Louis, Mo., Feb. 28—Two pro- posed ordinances providing for the segregation of negroes in St. Louis will be submitted to the people at a referendum _election tomorrow. One prohibits negroes from moving into blocks in which 75 per cent. of the families are white and the other forbids them from moving into blocks wholly occupied by whites. If both are adopted the “75 per cent. law” as the more stringent will prevail. The ordirances provide similar re- strictions against white persons mov- ing into blocks occupied by negroes. The St. Louis real estate exchange has championed the ordinances and it has affiliated for the campaign with several other orzanizations under the name “United Welfare Association.” The republican city committee has declared azainst the ordinances. There are 140,000 voters in St. Louis eligible to cast their ballots. About 9(000 of these are negroes.

Boucher has re- m a vacation spent at Palm Representatives from the White Rock and Bradford Textile Workers' union attended the annual meeting of the Rhode Island Textile Workers’ alliance hela Sunday afternoon and evening in Pawtucket. A committee Was ap- pointed to attend a private hearing at the statehouse relative to the bill for the abolition of night work for women and girls. The committee was in- structed to procure, if possible, a pub- lic hearing at which both sides of the question can be debated. Every organ- ization represented protested against children on night work. The special committee reported that the working agreement which has been in effect for the past three years has been renewed for another year. The agreement provides that every textile craft in the state shall assist the mem- bers of any local affiliated with the parent body when a strike has been officlally declared. Officers for the ensuing year were| elected as follows: Thomas Lynch, president; John Nolan, vice president; George H. Thornton, secretary-treas- urer; John Kirby, Willlam Stewart, Joseph A.

From the sale of Red Cross seals In Rhode Island at Christmas time the sum realized was $13,824.99. Of the total ‘sales, 10 per cent. or $1,382.49 is sent to the American Red Cross. Of the remainder, 25 per cent. or $3,110.62 is given to the Rhode Island Anti- Tuberculosis association for its gen- eral work throughout the state. The balance is distributed to the nursing and anti-tuberculosis associations in the state. Westerly’s proportion is $263.36, being among the places which support a district nurse and carry on aducational work. In towns where there is no district nurse the sum of $191.81 is avaflable for educational work or for the relief of cases of tu- berculosis. Under the general distri- bution North Kingstown will receive $83.57 and South Kingstown $133.72. Westerly boys who desire to follow the official footsteps of their distin- guished fellow townsman (Herbert O. Dunn) and become an admiral in the United States navy, have the oppor- tunity to compete for entrance to the naval academy. Congressman Stiness of the Second district of Rhode Island, which includes Westerly, has been re- quested by he navy department to name a principal and three alternates, under the new law giving members of congress an additional cadet at the Annapolis naval academy. According to a story in circulation, backed by the statement that the banns of marriage have been announced, there is basis for a breach of promise suit in Westerly, and the would-be bride has consulted an attorney to bring suit in damages as balm for her humiliation and broken promises of her betrothed. The man in the case is Anthony Ducas, age 60, and the wom- an is Mrs. Lizzie Malanson, age 55, both experienced in matrimony. It is said that preparations were completed for the marriage ceremony, but the man could not be located. It is evi- dent that, after due consideration, he had changed his mind. Frank Browning, brother of Mrs. Frederick T. Mitchell, has returned to Westerly after being in the Union hos- pital for treatment since Dec. 12 last. He was employed on the barge Warren and when the barge was at anchor in Fall River Browning fell into an open hatchway and dropped into the hold, a distance of 18 feet. The accident oc- curred at night and Browning's shouts for help summoned the barge captain, and the injured man was transferred to the hospital. His right hip was broken, his right wrist fractured and his head was cut and lacerated. It was believed he was injured internally and it was not thought he would live. Under careful treatment he made gradual recovery and is now able to get around with the aid of a crutch. He believes his recovery will be complete within a few weeks. Frank O. Barber of Mystic, who con- ducts a garage at Watch Hill in the summer scason, and who is a member of Westerly lodge of Elks, was taken to Lawrence hospital, New London, on Saturday and underwent an operation for appendicitis on Tuesday.

NEVER 80 MUCH MONEY IN IRELAND AS AT PRESENT Due to the Fact That it is Mainly an Agricultural Country. Dublin, Ireland, Feb. 28.—(Corres- pondence of The Associated Press).— There was never so much money in Ireland as there is at present. The general prosperity of the country was the theme of the speeches of the chairmen o fall the leading 'banks which have just held their semi-an- nual meetings. The banks all main- tained their dividends, they all show- ed increased profits and applied these profits by wiping out the deprecia- tion which occurred before the war on the securities they held. The curities have now mostly been writ- ten down to their present market val- ues, though many of them in war loans are repayable at par at a fixed period. Roughly it may be said that though ten million pounds were sub- scribed in Ireland to war loans there is as much money in the banks as ever. So well off are they that an ab- suré rumor was started that the gov- ernment intended to commandeer the money in them. This rumor was ap- parently believed and was cited by the chairman of the National Bank as an explanation of a drop of 200,000 pounds in deposits, though the same bank had an increase of money on current accounts of 137,000 pounds. Several of the Irish banks have au- thority under an act of parliament passed in 1845 to issue notes, and at the beginning of the war the cri which had to be met in England the issue of one pound treasur dld not exist in Ireland, W one pound note is an established fea- ture of the currency. But as the act provides that money shall be held as cover against all notes issued cess of the amount act, and as there crease in the volume transacted in connection with the and at the same time a contract of the gold supply, the banks have is- sued notes greatly in excess of the figures provided in the act. To cover these they have accordingly had to lock up a great deal of idle money In the case of the National Bank the chairman announced that while the authorized amount of bank note issue was 850,000 pounds they have issued 800,000 pounds beyond that figure. Suggestions have been made to the chancellor of the exchequer for the setting free of the money held as cover on certain conditions. But he has not so far felt himself able to agree to the proposal. The secret of the strong position of the Irish banks is the fact that Ire- land is mainly an agricultural country and that owing to the war agriculture is a booming industry. The past year has been a very prosperous one for the farmers. Reports from all parts of Ireland show that the last harvest was very good, and indicate at least a repetition of it this year. There is an ample supply of hay and roots for winter feeding of cattle, and in most cases the farmers are said to have all they need in the way of cattle as was feared would not be the case when at the beginning of the war the high prices induced exceptionally heavy sales. PENSION FOR DISABILITY FROM WAR SERVICES Britain Medical Experts Must Pass on Subject’s Condition. London, Feb, 28.—A statement made by a discharged soldier, summoned to court for failure to pay alimony, that a great many men discharged from the army for disability receive no pen- sions, has put the war office on the defensive. The war office has defl- nitely promised pensions for disability due to_disease resulting from war ser- vice. But it now appears from an of- ficial statement that the men have to prove that their disability is directly due to war service. If it is shown that they had the seeds of some dis- abling disease in their systems at the time of their enlistment, which de- veloped straightway on the ordinary exposures of soldiering, they get no pensions. But their cases are first gone into carefully by medical ex- perts. : If you have bad taste in month, foul breath, furred tongue, dull headache, drowsiness, disturbed sleep, mental depression, yellow- | @ tsh skin—then you are bilious. is the result of liver derangement and severe digestive disturbance.
