SO SALEM, Or., Oct. 21. (Special.) To be caught in tha midst of the Sinn Fein movement, which threatens to disrupt Ireland and precipitate a . breach which will require many I years to heal, was the experience of . r.ev. and Mrs. Thomas Acheson (Miss 1 Mary QpneX who returned to Salem . yeeterday after passing their honey- I moon in .!.fat and other cities of j the foreign zon. Mr. Acheson Is pas- f this city. Mr. and Mrs. Acheson were married here last May and left immediately thereafter for White Plains, N. J., later Bailing on the steamer Baltic for Liverpool, where they landed June 1. From there they went direct to Mr. Acheson's boyhood home in Cavan county, Ireland. All about them, ac cording to Mr. Acheson. were the ac tivities of the Sinn Fein, with the town in which they were visiting aa one of the objectives. This particular uprising was ins-lured by the ap proval of a measure In the house of commons making it a penalty punish able by Imprisonment to have arms in the household. Sinn Kelnera Start Raids. "Following passage of the bill England sent out a call that all arms and ammunition be surrendered to the authorities," said Mr. Acheson. ' "Answering the issue, the Sinn Fein ers organized in masked groups of eight or ten, started raiding houses and sh4p-s on their own account. These raids usually were staged be tween the hours s,t 10 P. M. and 3 A. M. Although tiiere was very little resistance, it way not infrequent that bloodshed followed these raids, and thousands of people were killed or maimed in protecting what they be lieved their constitutional rights- At ? o'clock one niight Mr. and Mj. ,i.cheson, together with the for mer's brother and sister-in-law, formed a group to escort a neighbor to her home. They had not proceed ed far, however, when they were In tercepted by a Sinn Fein outpost, who demanded them to halt. They com plied with the demand, and as they were not in a mood to resist, no vio lence was offered. On. that occasion they were compelled to remain in the custody of the Sinn Feiners until the district was thoroughly canvassed for arms. Raiders Threaten Their Victims. All persons visited on these mid night raids were threatened not to make rtjports, according to Mr. Ache son. and those who were loyal to the British government and disregarded these warnings later regretted their action. In the midst of the uprising-, studying- its every phase and gaining first hand information of the motives and activities of the Sinn Fein. Mr. Ache son baid he was unfavorable to the movement; that it is not representa tive of the right-thinking people of Ireland, and apparently was Inaugu rated by keen political leaders, who, through careful manipulations during the period of the war, were suc cessful in subjugating the young manhood of the country, and who are now being used as tools for the Irish rapublic It is Mr. Acheson's conviction that If the republic was procured It would not be what the masses vision: that it would result in -a eoviet form of government, for every tactic used to Becure it has been bolshevik in ten dency. The great mass of Irish peo ple desire to live peaceably, said Mr. Acheson. but, as the British have lost their hold and the commonwealth cannot expect protection from them, there is no alternative but to submit to the majority. Home Rolen Are Conservative. Tlie men who represent the domin ion rule, asserted Mr. Acheson, are of the better class, and include busi ness and professional representatives. Their efforts to solve the Irish prob lem in a sane, conservative way, however, have met with an official statement from the Irish republic army that their efforts must be dis continued. The latter, inflamed and embittered, cannot see what England has done for their country's better ment. Mr. Acheson believes that the pres ent educational system is largely to blame for national conditions. Ire land lias two distinct divisions in its educational system, the Protestant and Catholic, and each is suspicious of the other. Kngland, a short time tifiro, he recalled, endeavored to pass a bill taking the schools out of the hands of the church and ma.king them a national department, but opposition was too strong. Llducaiional System Inadequate. ''The educational system is very in adequate." declared Mr. Acheson. "Universities and higher education are looked upon with suspicion. A wide Rnr appears between the com mon school and higher institutions of learning. There are no public high schools and only the rich may have open sesame to the colleges and uni .vorfitics. ' "Attendance in the schools is sup Toned to he compulsory, but it is not. In fact, there is noted no spirit of promotion; instead, it is rather to dis courage.

Condemned Slayers of Sheriff Tay lor Are Among Those Recorded by University Experts. UNIVERSITT OP OREGON". Eu gene, Oct. 21. (Special.) The three men condemned for the shooting: of Sheriff Til Taylor at Pendleton, last summer. Hart, Rathie and Owens, were given the Terman Individual in telligence tests by Dr. C. A. Gregory, of the University school of education, and Miss Mozelle Hair, secretary of the extension division, while they wra the state penitentiary giving tea. to 200 of the 270 prisoners. Probably the results of these testa will not be made public, said Dr. Gregory. - Of the 200 men examined. Dr. Greg ory said that about 60 per cent ap parently were much interested in the tests. The others were sullen and in different, and did not respond in. such a way that the data will be useful for further studies. Although the results of the tests are not yet tabulated. Dr. Gregory says his impression of the group, as he saw them together, is that they might be djjvided into four classes. Twenty-five per cent of them seem average men with average in telligence and good bearing: a second 25 per cent are seemingly of average intelligence, but rather of a criminal type, the kind of men who would seem to need, watching; a third 25 per cent appear to be of a very low grade of humanity, some seemingly defective in intelligence as well as in morals: the remaining 25 per cent are sullen, morose, and passive, and are probably subnormal. With the exception of about 70, who were out at work, the prisoners were placed at the disposal of Miss Hair and Dr. Gregory. The older men re sponded to the tests better than the younger ones, says Dr. Gregory. The one woman in the institution, he says. did not take the tests. Er. Gregory says he and Miss Hair were treated with the utmost courtesy while visiting the penitentiary, and his impression was that the prisoners are exceedingly well treated.

THE TELEPHONE situatio: N In the engineering of a telephone plant switchboards, conduits, cables, pole lines and general mechanical equipment we have always tried to an ticipate the growth of a community and provide therefor by. advance con struction. This course has enabled us to more promptly comply with re quirements for service with- better construction and at an ultimate expense less than that involved in waiting to meet demands as they arise. In the war period we were unable to maintain this reserve plant, as the very things we needed for telephone purposes were required and necessarily taken for government purposes. The dfemand for telephone service, did not de crease and our reserve facilities were practically absorbed in meeting it. As every business man knows, the problems of reconstruction following the war have been acute and prolonged to an entirely unexpected degree. Un usual conditions are prevalent throughout the entire manufacturing, mercantile and social world. The telephone industry has had to meet all the difficulties and handicaps of retarded production, distribution and transportation. This advertisement is not meant to be one of apology, but one of explana tion and even accomplishment. In the face of an unprecedented demand for tel ephone service in the last few months, hampered by the exhaustion of our re serve plant and difficulty in securing materials, we have added more telephones thus far this year in the state of Oregon and the city of Portland than in any similar period of telephone history. In the city of Portland in the eight months ending August 31st we have added 4319 telephones. In the eight months ending July 31, 1917 before the war we gained 997 telephones. We have purchased sites and are erecting two new exchanges, Arleta and Irvington, to care for rapidly growing sections of the city in which equipment of the most modern type will be installed. In the state of Oregon we have over 2600 orders for telephones which we cannot fill. In the city of Portland this figure is 1450. The condition is na tion wide, as is the tremendous demand for telephone service. The Telephone Company regrets the inconvenience to prospective subscrib-ei-s. It is as anxious to give service as the patron is to receive it. The Com pany is doing all in its power to remedy conditions and furnish service in ac cordance with normal standards.
