Belfast, Oct, 26. Further riot
ing occurred in this city last night.
Large crowds burned effigies of
Terence MacSwiney. the late lord
mayor of Cork in a street and a
nearby party, mistaking the effi
gies for those of Premier Lloyd
George, started exchanges with
men burning the figures.
A fight was soon going on and
the police being powerless, troops
were summoned. Several shots
were fired by the soldiers and or
der was soon restored.
John McLeod was shot and kill
ed yesterday during a fight caus
ed by the display of Sinn Fein
flags. The clash occurred in the
east part of the city.
Three Men Killed
Dublin, Oct. 26. Three men
were shot and killed here today
by masked men alleged to be wea

Cork Riot Scene
Cork. Oct. 26. Crowds along
the Grand Parade, one of the prin
cipal thoroughfares of this city,
were thrown .into a panic tonight
when several shots were fired from
a military lorry and an accom
panying armored car. So far is
known there were no casualties.
Tt appears that the car had turn
ed its searchlight on the Sinn Fein
club house and a large number of
people, led by curiosity, surround
ed the machine. The occupants,
fearing an attack, fired and the
crowds scattered. Subsequently the
streets were almost deserted.
Armed men at Blarney flagged
the mail train from Cork today
and searched the cars.

California for
Governor Cox
By Ward A. Irvine
The league of nations issue will
Very likely carry California ."for
Cox, George E. Brewster, Califor
nia contractor, declared in Port
land yesterday on his way home
from a trip into Washington. The
vote in Washington will be very
close with the odds possibly fav
oring the progressive Ohio govern
or, Brewster added.
"Churches all over California
are for Cox and a league of na
tions," Brewster declared. "More
over, the women all favor a lea
gue. I haven't talked to a woman
that doesn't want to end war and
they will all vote for Cox to that
end. In northern California, where
I live, there are a good many re
publicans who will vote for Hard
ing because he carries the label,
but the vote in southern Califor
nia will be two to one for the
league. Down there republicans are
ignoring party lines for the league
of nations. I think the vote witl be
close for the state, but I think the
women will decide the question In
favor of Cox and the league."
Mr. Brewster predicts a close
vote in Washington, with Cox as
his favorite. There, he says, the,
farm labor party has so split the
vote, that it offsets the regular
republican majority, and he ex
pects the (farm laborites to vote
for Cox because of his record, and
because of the knowledge hat
-votes to Debs and Christensen are
wasted. The women In Washing
to, Brewster says, as in Califor
nia, will vote for the league, and
their votes, along with the farm
laborites, would easily carry cox
through to a plurality.
Another point that Brewster
stresses as favoring Cox in both
states is the present good times.
Many voters spoke to him, ho de
clared, in jocular vein of the
"hard times'' under djemoerfctic
administrations.
"Were we ever in better shape
than we are now?" Brewster says
was a frequent juestion.
"You tell the boys Cox is gqjns?
to win." Brewster flung as he left
in search of wagers. He has bet
$3000 on Cox, and was searching
In Portland for more Harding
money.
"The onlv trouble that I find
is that they all talk about betting
on Harding, but when it comes to
pungling up the cold cash, they
don't want to bet half so bad. Th
last three I have met that talked
'bet' have backed down when I
produced the money."
Taft Is True
Prophet Says
Governor Cox
Ex-President's Predic
tion of League Sup
port by Women and
Churches True
Kenova. W. Va.. Oct. 26. Gov
ernor Cox of Ohio closed his West
Virginia campaign- here today with
another appeal for the league of
nations and a statement that the
church, labor and women were to
gether in the movement which he
paid, was "sweeping the country."
ne caned attention to statements
a year ago of former President
Taft, which the governor said
prophesied his present view of the
situation.
"I desire to pay Judge Taft a tri
bute," said the governor. "He pos
sesses a gift which I did not think
was his. He has the gift of pro
phecy. Speaking just about a year
ago In West Virginia, he said that
labor would indorse the league of
nations because of its labor provis
ions; that the churches would In
dorse it because it is right; and
then if the women were given the
vote they would all be for It be.
cause of their abhorrence of war:
and In the last week it is perfectly
apparent that Judge Taft correctly
visualized the future."
Governor Cox declined today to
amplify his statement last night at
Huntington as to his position re
garding ratification of the treaty of
Versailes and attendant reservations.
This School
Rules Itself
With Fists
Chicago, Oct. 26. School room
disputes at the Webster school here
where children of twenty-two na
tionalities attend classes, are not
settled by the arbitrary rule of the
teacher. Instead, the principal,
Miss Alice .VS. Hogge, believes in
letting the boys decide their griev
ances with their fists it was learned
today, and in the latest quarrel she
acted as referee as a second to both
combantants.
It was a fight to the finish in the
school basement between Salvatore
Sortlno and Abe Solon, both aged
12. Time was called several times
to enable the combantants to rest
and rinse out their mouths. After
fifteen minutes Salvatore had an
unquestioned decision.
"Letting the boyt fight out their
troubles is the best way in a school
such as the Webster," said Miss
Hogge. "Of course the fights must
be fair.
"I never permit any serious in
juries. A black eye or two, such as
Abe got, ia' usually the limit. Abe
was inclined to be a bully and got
just what he needed. They will bs
friends now and we will have no
more trouble from them."
Superintendent Mortensen de.
clared he was in favor ot Miss
Hogg's method, saying It ia the
most successful ever tried in that
school.

English Papers
Comment Upon
Mayor's Death
London, Oct. 26. Announcement
of plans for the removal to Ire
land of the body of Terence Mac
Swiney, lord mayor of Cork, who
died yesterday morning in Brixton
prison, was expected today. It was
understood that final decision on
whether the body would be taken
secretly to Cork or woull be turn
ed over to relatives her-?, was left
to the administration at Dublin
Castle.
Articles on the death of Mac
Swiney occupied much space in
newspapers regardless of their po
litical views. Some refrained fron
commenting editorially on the sit
uation which has arisen, whiie
others have written in accordance
with their customary attitudes on
the Irish question.
The Times, which is hostile to
the government's Irish policy and
the Irish bill prepared by the cab
inet, severely attacks the govern
ment esDeciallv in the matter of
reprisals. Referring specifically t
MacSwiney, the newspaper express
ed the fear that the effects of his
death will not be confined to the
rBitish Isles.
Asserting "he lord mayor was
"misguided but sincere patriot dy
ing for his convictions the Morn
ing Post savs:
"We cannot perceive what rela
tion can exist between suicide and
martyrdom. We cannot forget the
many loyal servants of their coun
try who have been shot down in
the mere performance of their
duty in Ireland, and for whose
memory there is no meritrlcious
appeal nor falaclous sentimental
ity." The Daily News says the govern
ment imprisoned MacSwiney as a
criminal and converted him into
a martyr, and must bear respon
sibility for his death.
"Every day," the newspaper
declares, "Ireland is being weld

of war, we reaffirm our allegiance
to It and our unbounded faith in

New York, Oct. 26. Georgra W.
Bacon, member of the Internation
ally known engineering firm of
Ford, Bacon & Davis, a life-long
republican and friend of Herbert

letter to Hoover, he says, 'Through

millions of men but billions of dol
lars of money be ultimately re.
leased from the sterile purposes of
war to the productive purposes of
peace." Mr. Bacon graduated from
