BOURBONS STILL HOPEFUL Mark Sullivan Is Informed Tpon Inquiry That "Two Apples" Is Stunning for Governor. rrr mark stjlltvan. (Copyright by the New York Evening Pot, Inc. Published bv Arrangement. ) KANSAS CITY. Oct. 17. (Special.) I was talking1 with George Longan In the Kansas City Star office. It 18 Longan s business to know everything: about politics in the neighboring states here and to be intimately ac quainted with all the politicians who cut any figure. He earns his living at it, and he does his Job well. When there is anything doing in. local poli tics George Longan knows it before it happens We had covered Missouri and got .round to Kansas. X said: "What's the name of the man run ning for governor on the democratic ticket in Kansas?" "Let's see," he said, "I can never remember that fellow's name. I ought to remember it, too, because I always try to associate it with the name of an apple." . He turned and called across the room to R. E. Stout, the editor of the Star. "Say, Stout!" he said, "What's the name of that fellow running for governor on the democratic ticket in Kansas? It's the same name as an apple." "Oh, yes." Stout replied, "I remem ber. It's the name of two apples. The first is Jonathan. I know Jonathan is his first name. Let's see, what could his second name be? It couldn't be Northern Spy nor Wirfter Sap. Could it be Smokehouse?" It's Hut Smokehouse, but DitIk. "No." said Longan, "it isn't Jona than Smokehouse. ,1 would surely remember it if I heard it." "Could it be Baldwin?" queried Stout. "No I remember. It's Davis. Jonathan Davis is his name. I knew it was the name of two apples. I took the episode .in. It seemed to have considerable evidential value so far as any excitement about the Kan sas governorship race is conce ed. But I wanted to cover the situation fully, and especially I wanted to know whether the republican senator, Cur tis, is likely to hold on to his seat. 1 asked Longan: "Who's running for United States senator on the demo cratic ticket in Kansas?" "Shucks," he said, "I've forgotten his name, too; but it doesn't matter anyhow. He got sick, or something, and went to California and isn't mak ing any campaign." The whole conversation seemed. tinder the circumstances, to be rea sonably convincing as regards the present prosperity .and degree of fu ture hope among the democrats of Kansas this year. Oemoerat Profess Hope To be sure.' the democrats don't by any means admit all the inferences which the penetrating reader will have gathered from this narrative.. Kansas democrats are of the breed that doesn't give up hope. As a ribald republican said: "They're Just as happy as if they. were in their right minds." Daniels is coming to the state-to make speeches, and Mr. McAdoo also. Maybe that's all right; Kansas is an extremely volatile state. It was Kansas which four years ago started that western landslide that rolled up victory for Wilson and the democrats. Kansas in 1916 was for Hughes in September, but In November gave Wilson a 40.000 majority. Normally Kansas is not merely a doubtful state, but a whimsical and impulsive state, given to sudden and .violent lurches In one direction o another, and keeping all the politicians in a etate of jumpy nervousness until the last vote is counted. But this year, as Longan remarked: "If j'ou're looking for doubtful states you'd better pass up Kansas and hop off east by soflth." death of the prisoners would make them suicides. Pope Benedict has personally exam ined all the documents submitted to him and has discussed the situation with learned cardinals and other prominent figures in the church, but it is indicated, has found them hold ing widely divergent opinions. He therefore, it is stated, has laid the problem before the congregation" of the holy office which settles ques tions of faith and morals and judges heresy. This 'us the old congregation of the Itoman church. It was created in la4Z and was originally called the holy inquisition. The present pontiff modified it and added to it the con gregation of the index' which has to do with literature. The pope is prefect of this con gregation and Cardinal Merry Del Val secretary. IDENTIFIER OF BODV IS SHOT Irish Sergeant Killed In Disturb ances Friday. DUBLIN, Oct. 17. Sergeant Roche of the royal Irish constabulary, who came here from Tipperary to identify the body of Mr. Tracey, who was shot during the disturbance Kriday, was shot dead today on the Ormond quay.

MacSTVLVEY PASSES 66TH DAY Lord Mayor of Cork Said to Be Growing Increasingly Weak. LONDON. Oct. 17. Terence Mac Swiney, lord mayor of Cork, passed the 66th day, of his hunger strike in Brixton prison fairly well, said to night's bulletin of the liMnh Self Determination league. He slept part of the day. His physical condition, adds the bulletin, "is one of ever increasing weakness, but his mind is clearer, keener and more active than ever. This after noon he conversed for quite a time with relatives." BRITAIN'S COAL PITS IDLE; CHAOS LOOMS Employes Guarding Mines Only Men Not on Strike. GLOOM GRIPS LONDONERS Decision, of Railway and Transport Workers to Join in Sympathetic Walkout Known Today. LONDON. Oct. IT. (By the Asso ciated Press.) The British coal in dustry today was at a standstill. After months of negotiations between the miners and the government, in which neither side was willing to concede the crucial points, the pits are closed and Great Britain seem ingly is .facing- davs of industrial chaos, urrequaled even during the world war. Except for the pump men and other employes who are to keep the mines free from water and otherwise in good condition for a resumption of work when the strike is ended, all the mines were idle today. Sunday Shows o Break. 1 sunaay, however, tn the view or a large portion of the populace, was not a good day on which to form concise Judgment of the potentialities of the decorated thoroughfare. strike. I Leading wan - ntaln n a the Salem schools, the directors of the district have accepted a proposal of the Salem hospital board to erect a portable building on the Lincoln school grounds in lieu of taking over the Whitney school structure which is now being used as a hospital. The Whitney school building was leased to the hospital association sev eral years ago and the lease was only recently renewed for a term of 12 months. A. few weeks ago patrons of the schools appeared before the school board and demanded that the Whit ney building be released for educa tional purposes, .or that some other provision be made to care foj the fast increasing enrollment of jjupils in the schools. Although the agreement reached was satisfactory to most of the com plaining patrons at least two of their number intimated that suit might be started against the directors to force them to take over the Whitney struc ture. BONUS PARADE STAGED SERVICE HEX, DOX UNIFORMS FOR DE.MOXSTRAIIOX. Veterans, Protesting, Form Largest Column Seenn Xew York Since Homecoming. NEW TORK. Oct. 17. Thousands of former sailors, soldiers and marines yesterday put on uniforms again to let the country know they want the national bonus. . Parading up Fifth avenue with flags and military bands, the veter ans formed the largest column of uni formed men assembled here since the divisions came home from France. Tens of thousands lined the gayly 100 SAY THEY'RE FPU COX SIGNERS ADM IT THEY ARE REPRESENTATIVE CITIZENS. It Is Now Too Late to Talk of New Association of Nations, Says Statement. NEW TORK, Oct. 17.. A Joint state ment by "over 100 representative men' and women who have usually sup ported the republican or progressiva tickets," announcing their Intention to vote for Cox and Roosevelt and those senatorial candidates "who stand honestly and frankly for ratifi cation of the treaty and adherence to the league," was made public tonight by Hamilton Holt, magazine editor. This statement set forth that "it is now too late to talk of a new 'asso ciation of nations' to be created under republican auspices," and repudiating the present republican leadership that "has permitted the republican party to become a 'little America' party," urged all republicans and progres sives to "put patriotism above party" and add their names to the list of signers. This list, according to Mr. Holt, fs increasing daily. An analysis said that it included IS republican officers of the league to enforce peace, clergy men representing all the principal denominations, the presidents of Ob erlin, Vassar, Smith, Bryn Mawr and Mount Holyoke colleges, several vet erans of the great war and nine former republican or progressive party managers and officeholders. In the last classification were listed Charles P. Howland of New York, Violet M. Leroy, New York; Theodore Marburg, Baltimore; W. H. Nichols, Bennington, Vt.; Herbert Parsons, New York: Klias D. Salsbury, Indian apolis; Edwin K. Slosson. New York; Richard Welling. New York, and Alice White. Wellesley, Mass. A feeling of pessimism prevails not withstanding the fact that Premier Lloyd George has stated that every thing will be done to keep the great industries of the country going. To morrow probably will show whether the railway men and the transport workers the other two wings of labor's triple alliance are to join the miners. Outside of some unofficial con versations between the various labor leaders, there has been no note worthy development in the miners' strike today. Everywhere there is talk of possibility of mediation, but up to late this evening- no steps had been taken. Food Ministry Active. With the exception of the food min istry, which today presented a scene of activity, recalling the times of the railroad strike last year, all official departments were quiet. One effect of the strike will be, it is expected, to bring the industrial crisis into greater prominence than the lrisn question, when parliament reassem bles Tuesday, There is much specula tion whether, in the event of the rail road men or transport workers de ciding on simultaneous stri des, there by precipitating a still graver indus trial crisis, the government would de cide to appeal to the country by a general election to indorse the course taken by it.

DT7NDEE, Scotland, Oct. 16. Dan ger of embroilment with the United States If the north and south of Ire land were left to fight out their dif ferences was predicted by Winston Spencer Churchill, the secretary for war, in his speech tonight, tn which he referred at length to the Irish situation-Mr. Churchill, after asserting1 that such a course would lead to civil war "on such an organized scale that it would be disastrous and more ter rible than could be imagined," de clared that it would mean that in Kngiand sympathy would develop In favor of ulster. Influential persons in the united states, he said, sympa thized with the south of Ireland and, while volunteers would leave for the north of Ireland, reinforcements would come from the United States for the south. That, he added, would create such tensiou that Great Britain would be faced with the greatest danger it could be confronted with, "namely, a uuarrel with the United State. - "Two or three years more of what we are going through," he added, "appears better to mo than that we should leave Ireland to herself and thus open the floodgates of organized war and later embroil us with the United States." Mr. Churchill previously had de clared the reign of terror in Ireland would be suppressed and it would then be time for a complete and per manent settlement of the Irish Ques tion.

Two distinct revolutionary parties, one pledged to the dictatorship of the proletariat, through an alliance with the Third Internationale, the other working toward "proletarian comradeship'' in opposition to Moscow, have developed out of the wreck of the Independent socialists. . v The left majority under he lead ership of Daumig. Adolph Hoffman and Otto Bass, the young leader of Rhineland labor, conferred today on the Question of executing an agree ment with Moscow for a world revo lution and directed the district lead ers to prepare for a strike. The minority, under the joint presidency of George Ledebour and Herr Cris pien, in a separate convention, laid plans to communicate with the revo lutionary .forces in all countries op posed to Moscow and prepare an or ganized campaign against bolshevist methods. Destruction Is Opposed. They adopted Herr Ledebour's reso lution of sympathy with bolshevist aims, but expressing unalterable op position to the policy of "destruction and terrorism." The two conventions adjourned, both claiming the old party's name. - The minority faction was defeated, 237, to 156, yesterday on the ques tion of adhesion to the Third Inter nationale. In the majority session, which con tinued after the minority group left the hall, greetings on behalf of the Third Internationale were extended by M. Zinovieff, the soviet emissary. He urged the conference to send a representative to the Communist In ternationale organization. Compromise Is Isrnored. Before the adoption of the major ity resolution, George Ledebour and Herren Rosenfeld, "Crispien and Dltt man offered a compromise resolution pledging the party to sympathy with soviet Russia, but declining to join an organization "seeking to promote a world revolution through terror awl destruction." This proposal, how ever, received scant consideration. A flare-up was caused by Herr Hoffmann calling Herr Ledebour an "old woman." The party split leaves the Moscow adherents in- control of 21 of the reichstag deputies. The rights, of whom Herr Crispien is leader, adopted a resolution dl recting their members in the reich stag to introduce a law guaranteeing the right of asylum to political fugi tives of all countries.
