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. One old vvoian, perhaps,
suniini tt up when she said "The
'rowm with our young folks is too
nitKk eft-ucation-"

TERMAN TESTS ME GIVEN
CONVICTS AT PENITENTIARY
SCTJMIT TO EXAMINATION.
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.
PICKETING CASE REVIVED
Portlan-d Merchants Ask Supreme
Court to Reopen Injunction.
SAIEM, Or., Oct. 21. (Special.)
Petitions were filed in the Oregon
supreme court here today asking for
rehearing of the cases brought by G.
Heitkemper and George L. Greenfield

business.

RAINS CAUSE HEAVY LOSS
Late Crop of Trout Lake Alfalfa
Ruined for Ranchers.
HOOD RIVER. Or., Oct. 21. Spe
c'al.) R. H. Cole, rancher of Trout
Lake and Husum, Wash., here on
business, said the recent continued
rains has caused a heavy loss among
ranchers of the Trout Lake section.
The late crop of alfalfa was ruined
for many ranchers.
"We were only able to save ours,"
said Mr. Cole, "by rushing It to a
hastily constructed eilo. My brothers,
who are interested with me in our
ranch, and a neighbor are now feed
ing a carload of cattle. We feel we'
will be able to make more by feed
ing at this time than by selling on
the present depressed market.

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.
