The govern ment authorities in Cork Immedi ately notified Deputy Lord Mayor O'Callahan and the Bishop of Cork that no military display would be permitted at the funeral of MacSwiney and that neither drilling, uniforms nor republican army badges would be allowed. jThe only Irish republican flag in the procession, it was stated, must be placed on the coffin and ihe procession must ncit exceed a quarter of a mile in length. Troops will line the route to see that these regulations are obeyed. The funeral party, which re fused to board the packet Rath more at Holyhead, arrived in Cork shortly before 7 p. m. The mourners were accompanied , by Arthur Griffith, founder, of the Sinn Fein, and Count Plunkett, a well known Sinn Feiner and member of parliament for North Roscommon. A delegation from the city council met the mourners kat the station. - For several . hours doubt pre vailed as to whether the body would be claimed or left with the military. After a prolonged con ference in the city hall, however. It. was decided to claim it, and tonight a company of Irish vol unteers and relatives went to the dock and took formal' possession of the coffin. A huge crowd was present. Immediately afterward the cof fin was removed to. the city hall, where, it will lie in state until the funeral on iSundajV There was an impressive scene as the body was" borne into, the city hall. No one was ta the dock to re ceive the body when the tug ar rived. . A large military force had been sent from the barracks fn lorries and armored cars 'but the troops withdrew at 5:30 p. m., leaving, only the usual custdms house guards on duty at the docks. Perfect order prevails in the city tonight. Later the councilmen went Into consultation with MacSwiney's rel atives and Mr. Griffith and Count Plunkett at the city hall.

Senator I uaium&s puunc recora was nayea tonignt by Governor Cox. in an address replying in vigorous terms to the 'senator's speech here last night in which the re publican nominee declared that he was "unpledged. unown3d and unbossed." A Tragedy,-Not a Joke "If it were not a tragedy, this statement would be a joke," de clared Governor Cox to a large audience at the factory auditor ium. "Surely. Senator Hard in tr can expect no one to take him seriously when in the face of his public record, everyone knows that throughout the years of his public life he has tnen one In bondage to the big business In terests and the corporate inter ests of the country. His entire record has been one of turning hfs back on every proposal for progress." Here and in other addresses at Voungstown and Kent, Ohio, Governor Cox attacked Senator Harding as a "Reactionary" evas ive upon the "league of nations and other issues," and the gover nor reiterated that he . himself was the champion of progress. Fire at HnrdinjTs Speech Senator Harding's speech last night was the' special theme of the governor's fire tonight in probably the most bitter per sonal arraignment of his adver sary yet made in the campaign. Senator Harding was chosen at Chicago, Governor Cox assert ed, by a "nominating conspiracy of the senatorial .oligarchy," in a Chicago hotel and the governor asked the following "plain ques tions" of the republican candi date. "What questions were artked you and what pledges were made before the oligarchy decided to give you the nomination? Did you promise George Harvey a place in the cabinet, as is gen erally stated? "Does your platform author ize you to make a pledge to George Viereck and to declare for a separate peace with Germany to secure as he says 6,000.000 votes of the pro-Germany party In America? Petty Question Are Asked ' "Did your platform give you th right to promise to George Reynolds, the Chicago banker. who, on the basis of conference with you, assures his friends that you will permit amendments to the federal reserve act so that none but bankers may sit upon the federal reserve boards, , and thus again restore the control of the money Interests of America to a small group of bankers? "What promises did you make to Charles H. Warren, vice-chair man of the - republican national committee, which warrants him In saying in bis letter soliciting funds from directors of corpora tions, that they should measure their contributions on the basis of what republican success is worth to you and your corporate interest and send in your pledges accordingly. it How About Mexico? "What is your pledge to spec ulators In Mexico, who s-?ek to have the bipod of American boys coined into dollars, and who op enly boast of your support? "What is your understanding with Elihu Hoot which caused him to rush to your defense ata time when Mr. Taft.has pointed o'ut the probability of vacancies In the supreme court? Is it be cause you have given a personal pledge or because of his knowl edge of yourattitude! against Urandies. a progressive? "What promises have you made to Harry M. Daugherty. corporation lobbyist and what promises was he authorized to make in your behalf In order to secure your nomination That the senator "never cham pioned one big constructive meas ure in all his public life covering a decade," was asserted by Gov ernor Cox who said also that it the league opponents had desired Van honest' and straightont" champion they would have chos en Senator Johnson or California and not Senator .Harding.

Pesquelra, condldentlal agent of the Mexican city .govern ment, however, Mr. Colby said that these gave "promise of a speedy and happy outcome." The announcement came as a surprise. Earlier in the day a re port circulated In New York that recognition was imminent met with emphatic denial at the state department.

West cjast Inmb-r real ly initiated . the downward price trend of building materials, and has apparently outdistanced moot commodites in post-war readjust ment of values. .This announce ment comes from the West Coast Lumbermen's association. Retragretslon in fir quotations began In April. Throughout the summer the downward movement was gradual. Immediately fol lowing the freight rate Increases, it Was precipitant. Now. witb sales return lowr than produc ing costs, manufacturers regard the price depression checked, at least until costs shall hava been reduced. Wage Cot Opposed In recent negotiations for re adjusted freight rates, a railroad trarric executive suggested that the west coast lumber Industry return to the 10-bour standard day. and reduce wages, as funda mental factors in lowered cost, which would permit the indus try's absorbing advanced freight rates. Lumber operators, with very few exceptions, are for a contin uance of the eight-hoar standard day. They have been equally op posed to wage cots while living costs are high. During the balance of this year heavily curtailed production I probable. Low demand and high freight rates constitute an insur mountable -e)noTnl' barrier to continued normal output. A num ber of mills and logging camps are closed. From now on. both mills ,and camps will drop rapid ly from the producing column, as it Is realized that freight rates are not soon to be readjusted: and that buying, other than In railroad material.

Indutfry lllolatrl The industry Is disappointed but not discouraged by the ap parent failure to secure such rate readjustments as would re store long-established competi tive conditions for west coast goods in large eastern markets. The situation has forced upon th Industry a keen reallxation of the necessity of marketing a very considerable portion ot Its pro duction by means of water trans portation. The most promising prospect thus far is the authentic infor mation that a large- well-equip ped steamship line is negotiating a its raie ror mmoer rrom North racinc ports to New York. Roton. lUltimore and Philadel phia. The present transconti nental rail rate Is S2.63.

Market Kat Hty (iroir It Is estimated that Atlantic roat markets for Paclfe coast lumber can be developed to a point of absorbing a billion feet a year.
