STICK BY SKIPPER
By Francis J. White
Sandy Hook, N. .J July 1. (I.
N. 8.)-!No change will be made in
the skipper or crew of the Cup chal
lenger Shamrock IV.
Sir Thomas Llpton, owner of the
big sloop, stated this af lernocn that
Captain William Burton and the
same crew that has handled the
challenger In her brushes with Res
olute in the International cup races
to date, will be Aboard her when
ere skims across the line lr. tomor
tow's triangular raoo.
Sir- Thomas' statement put an end to
a myriad of rumors that Captain Bur

"Captain Burton and the same , crew
that has called the Shamrock so far;"
Sir Thomas told me aboard, his steam
yacht Victoria, "will remain In charge
of her and will be at the helm to
morrow." . !..
The Irish baronet refused to commit
himself regarding the apparently well
founded report that a change . was con
templated. ,
He merely remarked : "There is no
call to make changes when a yacht has
not been beaten.'! .
LONDON HOLDS BURTON
PEER OF BRITISH SKIPPERS
London, July 19. (U. P.) Yachting
circles were astounded here today by
the report from America that Captain
William P. Burton, who sailed Sham
rock IV. In the first two heats of the
America's cup races, had been relieved.
Burton s rated as the peer of all
British yacht skippers and his friends
were slow to believe that Sir Thomas
Llpton would replace him at the helm
of .the .challenger.
Washington, ; July 19. (I. N. S.) A
special forecast for the yacht race to
morrow, given to the International News
Service by the United States weather
bureau today, follows:. !

the National Woman's party will
open permanent campaign headquar
ters in Ohio this summer.
Telegrams received from Alice Paul,
now in Ohio, completing arrangement
for next - week's deputation, announce
that an option has already been secured
on a fraternity bouse in the i town of
Delaware, a few miles from Marion,
which will serve as headquarters if It
is found necessary to maintain constant
pressure upon the Republican leader in
order to secure action in Vermont and
Connecticut.
"Senator Harding's statement this
mornlmr that be would not -ask the gov
ernor of Connecticut to can a special I
session." it was said t the national .
headquarters of the woman's party Sat
urday, shows that he does not realize
the national significance of the suffrage
issue. The enfranchisement of half the
people of this country must not be made
secondary to the question of party pro
priety or party etiquette. v
"A question that affects the whole
nation cannot be left to the discretion
of the governor of any state."

ONE KILLED AND
14 ARE INJURED IN
AT
RIOTING
COR
London, July 19.- (I. N. S.) -One
civilian .was killed nd 14 others, in
cluding seven women, were wounded
in an outbreak of fighting "at Cork,
said a Central News dispatch from
that city today. -.
A cordon of British troops was
thrown around the ;city halting all traf
fic, 4n i Exchange Telegraph k corres
pondent at Cork reported. -"Cork
spent a night of terror," Said a
dispatch to the Evening News.
The trouble began when news was
received that John Bourke, an ex-soldier,
had been bayoneted to death by a
sentry after failing to heed the chal
lenge. Ex-soldiers attacked one man
from a South Staffordshire regiment
whom the Sinn Feiner volunteers suc
ceeded la rescuing. Later Indiscriminate
firing from the soldiers began."
"During the fighting lorries filled with
military patrols and armored ' cars
caused panic among the population by
racing through the streets with the sol
diers firing In every direction," said an
other Central News dispatch.
- "At midnight the streets were nearly
deserted."
The Cork outbreak is ' regarded as a
sequel to the assassination of Inspector
General Smyth, of the Royal Irish con
stabulary on Saturday flight. Inspector
General Smyth, wtfo was commissioner
tor the Munster district, played a promi
nent part in the recent "police revolt"
in County Kerry. Sinn Fein leaders
seized documents which, they declared,
showed that Smyth had delivered a fiery
address to the Kerry constables telling
them that martial law would soon be
proclaimed throughout Ireland and urg
ing them to use harsh methods in deal
ing with the Irish people.

speech in which he urged that the police
"shoot down on sight all men suspected

sional Commissioner of Constabulary
Smyth was shot to death in cold blood at
a club In Cork Saturday night.
: The assassination was carried out in
the most brutally point blank fashion
and his sent a thrill of horror through
that part of the ctuntry. Never before
has the doing to death of any British
official been carried out so -boldly and
with so little regard for public opinion.
Commissioner Smyth was seated in the
smoking rcom of the County club, ch-t-tlng
wit, several high police officials,
when' a dosen armed rr.cn broke into -the
place, r Without parley they fired at
short range, several bullets penetrating
his body, -ralg. an Inspector, was
wounded lu the volley but not fatally.
The others escaped injury and the as
sassins escaped without molestation. I

to hunt down tho perpetrators of the

"I think it will be one of the logical
possibilities of this election that women

"1 don't mind saying," declared the
