MORE TR3U3LE 13
REPORTED IN BELFAST
" ! VES OF THREE CIVILIANS
TAKEN FOLLOWING SHOOTING
OF POLICEMAN
RIOTING IS AGAIN SERIOUS
Many Injured in Fierce Fighting
Which Occurs at Scene of
Assassination.
Belfast—The Falls district of Bel-
fast was seething with excitement
Sunday, culminating in rioting, as a
result of the murder of a policeman,
the wounding of two others and the
swift vengeam-e enacted in the kill-
ing of three civilians, who were shot
down in rapid succession hy bands
of men who visited their homes.
Previously the shootings in this
city had occurred in the heat of
rioting, but now, for the first time,
deliberately planned killings have
'been carried out. The affair had its
beginning Saturday night, as Con-
stables Leonard and Carroll were pa-
trolling the Falls road. When passing
a public house they heard footsteps
behind them. Swinging around they
were confronted by two men armed
with revolTers, who ordered hands
up.
Simultaneously fire was opened
upon the officers and Leonard fell
dead, the first bullet taking effect
in his breast. His companion had
a miraculous escape. Four shots
were directed at him. Three of them
missed, the fourth lodging in his
thigh. Apparently thinking both
men dead, the assassins left.
At about the same time Constables
Farrell and Kearin were fired upon
in a locality about a mile from the
scene of the other attack.
All day Sunday large csbwds con-
gregated outside the house where the
tragedies took nlace, forming lines to
view the bodies.
Fierce rioting broke out in North
Belfast, the scene of the clashes and
assassinations a few hours earlier.
First reports from the hospitals were
that, five gunshot cases and manj'
other injuries were being treated,

JAPANESE STIRRED
BY EXCLUSION AGT
T'okio.—Suggestions that a joint
high commission be appointed to find
a solution of the California problem
appear to be favored in responsible
circles here. Viscount Ketaro Kaneko,
privy councillor; Viscount Eiichi Shib-
usawa, chairman of the Tokio hank-
ers association, and Premier Hara
have been conferring, arid trie im-
pression has been gained that the
proposition for a joint commission was
trie outgrowth of meetings of promi-
nent Americans and Japanese here
last spring.
Details are not yet nebulous, but
the Ashai Shimbun of Asaka says
the underlying idea Is for President
Wilson to name a commission, in-
cluding the secretary of state, some
senators and representatives, and also
•well-qualified Japanese like Viscount
Takaaki Kato, former Japanese am-
bassador to Great Britain. Succeeding
steps, the newspaper says, would be
Japanese insistence upon treaty rights
and then an appeal to the supreme
court of the United States, asking
that operation of California statutes
be suspended. The newspaper be-
lieves the Japanese public is gen-
erally pessimistic over present nego-
tiations in Washington and has a ten-
dency to criticise the cabinet for
adopting what is declared to be a
“lukewarm, makeshift policy.”
UNITED STATES SHOULD
MILL ITS OWN COTTON
Maple-wood, N. H.—The need for ex-
port trade in the cotton industry of
this country was urged by speakers at
the semi-annual meeing of the National
Association of Cotton Manufacturers.
Daniel E. Douty of New York as-
serted that “America should distri-
bute cotton goods to the world in
pdaceasi^ig$w.... CflMateriangh....
place of raw cotton” and added that
“the time has passed when the cot-
ton manufacturers can hear with in-
difference the appeal of the southern
planter for a fair price which will
yield him a just return.”
“A tariff wall will protect our
domestic market,” the speaker con-
tinued, “but will not secure foreign
trade and will assist in the competition
in foreign markets only by taxing
domestic consumers in order to sell
at lower prices abroad.”
Pointing to recent movements in
England and Japan toward consolida-
tion of Cotton interests, Mr. Douty
said that in the manufacturers’ as-
sociation lay “the foundation for the
type of mutual organization which can
produce for the American cotton in-
dustry the results which we desire.”
Confidence Voted in Cabinet.
Paris.—The chamber of deputies,
after a debate on interpellations con-
cerning the foreign and domestic pol-
icies of the government, voted con.
fidence in the government.
Raid Two Stills Near Denison.
Denisbn, Texas.—Three hundred
gallons of mash, tlj.-ty gallons of
whisky and two stills were seized, and
four prisoners, two men and two wo-
men, were arrested near here by the
/sheriffs department.
STRIKERS AND TROOPS
NAVE SERIOUS CLASH
RIOTING AT TURIN ASSUMES SER-
‘ IOUS PROPORTIONS RE-
PORTS SAY
Turin.—Pitched battles in which the
/roops have used machine guns and
armored cars against strikers armed
with rifles and bombs have marked
the last few days. The riots have as- j
sumed such serious proportions that
unless they are immediately checked
it is feared they may be merely the
forerunner to more serious events.
The first outburst came when the
funeral of two strikers killed Tues-
day took place. The ceremony was
made the occasion for a brutal as-
sault on the royal guards Troop3
"sveue -summoned to the 'scene and
this was the signal for an attack in
force by the strikers, who used hand
grenades in their street-to-street of-
fensive.
Only the coolness of the troops
prevented a massacre. In the mean-
time the factor:'’ whistles, where the
strikers are still in possession of the
plants. . were blown to warn work-
men to turn out in force.
During the two hours following the
industrial district was the scene of i
bloody clashes. Motor lorries carry-
ing soldiers to the district were fired
upon. Armored cars and machine
guns evehtually cleared the streets.
Later the fighting was shifted to
the Porta Palazza and Vanchiglia,
which are the popular qaurters of
Tourin. Here the machine guns had
a busy two hours during the eve-
ning, after which order was restored.
Fresh disorders broke out twelve
hours later, when strikers from the
Voltocodo foundry first fired upon and
then attempted to intercept a lorry
loaded with troops. The latter re-
turned the fire with machine guns-and
sccceeded in driving away the attack-
ers.

MINERS’ WIVES MAY
BLOCK MINE STRIKE
London.—If the threatened British
coal strike is averted it will be to the
women of England, principally the
wives of the would-be strikers, that
much of the credit will 'go- Their op-
position-took form in a mass meeting
which brought from Wales, from York-
shire, from Lancashire and Northum-
berland hundreds and thousands of
women who fear the suffering caused
by the coming industrial war.
The women’s protest was, a strik-
ing demonstration of the wide po-
litical variance of husbands and wives.
The men are almost solidly for the
strike. The women are almost as solid-
ly against it. In the great procession
that passed through London .they car-
ried these banners:
“The Strike Means Starvation for
Millions of British Children.”
Immigration Badly Congested.
New York.—Commissioner of Immi-
gration Frederick Wallis, announces
he w'ould leave for Washington at
once in an effort to remedy congested
conditions at Ellis Island. He said he
may ask the state department to hold
up passports.

Suggests Recognition of Mexico.
Austin, Texas,— The senate has
adopted a resolution oirered by Sen-
ators Strickland, McNealus, Dudley
and Hertzberg, suggesting to the
United States government the advis-
ability of recognizing the present Mex-
ican government.
LEGISLATURE IS NSW
IN SPECIAL SESSION
QUESTION OF DISCRIMINATION
ARISES REGARDING ELEC-
TION LAW CHANGES
Austin, Texas.^—There is a general
inclination to permit th6 women to
register or enroll and vote, as required
by the nineteenth amendment, but
there is diversity of opinion as to keep-
ing out men. According to the nine-
teenth amendment there shall be no
discrimination between the sexes in
voting.
Next in assuming controversial pro-
portions is the governor’s open ports
bill, which is being assailed by union
labor leaders.
Messrs. Vaughan and' Darroch of-
fered a bill amending the present poll
tax law so as to apply its provisions
to female voters in the future. This
measure has no bearing on the im-
mediate situation, but is designed to
impose the same poll tax On women as
now applies to men for future elections
and to be paid during the same periods
with Feb. 1 of each, year as the final
date for payment.
The bill of Senator Buchanan oi
Scurry is similar in many respects
to the Dean bill. It provides that all
persons can procure exemption certi-
ficates and vote in all elections to
Feb. 1, 1921, each certificate to cos
15c.
Austin, Texas.—Legislation which
will have the object of preventing con-
trol of the cotton oil mills of Texas
by the packing industry, and likewise
legislation which will prevent the
ownership and control of the gins by
oil mills and the packeries, has been
submitted by Governor Hobby to the
the monopolistic conditions now exist-
legislature. Three bills, , drawn the at-
torney general, which seek to “restore
competition in Texas and to destroy
mg.” were presented.
Representative Barry Miller has pre-
pared and will introduce a bill ex-
empting women from jury service.
Austin, Texas.—After an extended
effort a bare quorum was obtained
Tuesday upon th^ convening of the
fourth called session of the thirty*
sixth legislature. Not until night was
the house able to proceed. The senate
acquired the exact requisite number
Tuesday afternoon.
Both branches completed organiza-
tion and proceeded with business. The
first bill to be considered in commit-
tee will be the election bills. There
will be several of these and a com-
mittee substitute measure may be
drafted to take the place of all.
Already it is evident that it is go-
ing to be extremely difficult to main;
tain a quorum, and the one topic of
conversation among members here is
how quick can the session be ended,
so they may return to their homes.
Both branches have resolutions ask-
ing the governor to submit only the
necessary things, and not local mat-
ters. To accentuate the desire to re-
turn home is the dearth of living quar-
ters in Austin and the extremely high
prides for room and board. It is mosl
difficult to secure rooms.
Mrs. Minnie Fisher Cunningham dis-
tributed copies of an election bil1
which she said has the approval of the
league of women voters. She was as-
sisted by Mrs. Casewell Ellis and Mrs-
Dave Doom. This bill provides for the
issuance of exemption certificates bj>
county tax collectors to all persons
who must be recognized as qualified
voters in the general election by vir-
tue of the adoption of the nineteenth
amendment and who were not permit-
ted to participate in general elections
prior to the adoption of said amend-
ment. '
Senator Walter D. Caldwell said the
bill is discriminatory in that it per*
mits women to vote without payment
of poll tax and prevents it of men.
The bill commands the county col-
lectors to issue the certificates with-
out charging any fee or commission
It says the cost of issuing the cer-
tificates shall be paid out of the same
funds as have heretofore been used
to defray the expense of collecting
poll taxes.
In order to vote in the November
election the bill requires that certifi-
cates be obtained before Oct. 23. It
also provides for issuing additional
certificates between Oct. 1, 1920, and
Feb. 1, 1920, to persons where poll
tax had not properly accrued. Another
provision of the bill is that no per*
son who is subject to payment of a
poll tax shall be exempt therefrom by
the measure.

Dallas county, including the city ol
Dallas, for the 1920 census, is 210,551

Corn Prices Drop
Kansas wity. Mo.—For the first time
since the summer of 1917, corn fell
below $1 here. Contracts for Decemr
her delivery dropped to 99 7-8c.
Plan to Seize Coal Pits
London.—Extraordinary rumors are
in circulation throughout Lanarkshire
to the effect that tht leaders of the
Scotish communist movement have
planned a sensational coupe to be
sprung at (Blantyre, eight miles south-
east of Glasgow, says a dispatch to
the Westminster Gazette from Ham-
ilton, Scotland. The cashiers and
officials have been bluntly told that
seizure of the coal pits is imnfinent
and that it is proposed to establish
a soviet system of ^mining controls.
OIL MILL BILLS GET
FAVORABLE REPORT
ALL THREE MEASURES TO BE
CONSIDERED IN HOUSE
EARLY THIS WEEK
Austin, Texas.—The house commit-
tee on agricultural affairs reported fa-
vorable on all three bills prepared by
the attorney general and designed to
divorce the packing houses from oil
mill control and the latter from gin
ownership. The bills were given re-
ports after First Assistant Attorney
General Keeling had made a brief pre:
sentation of the subject along the
lines contained in the governor’s mes-
sage submitting the subject and giv-
ing the data obtained by the special
agent of the attorney general’s depart-
ment.
By adopting Representative Sater-
white’s resolution the bouse somewhat
negatived the demand of Wednesday
that the governor submit nothing, but
bids of the utmost importance,to the
Bession. Mr. Satterwhite’s resolution re-
el'ests the governor to submit local
bills of importance.
The sub-committee of the hocse civil
jurisprudence committee,.which is con-
sidering the several e ection bills, has
agreed to favorably recommend the bill
providing that the present poll tax
law shall apply to women in elections
after this year. It provides that wo-
men shall pay the same poll tax as men
and under the same conditions.
rphe sub-committee of the bouse civil
make material progress in solving
the problem over the emergency pre-
sented by the immediate enfranchise-
ment. of women by the nineteenth
amendment.
In response to the McNealus res-
olution adopted Several days ,ago
the governor transmitted to the senate
a report showing the number of
rangers now in the employ of the state,
the salaries of each and the stations
of the companies. The report follows:

tain J. B. Brooks, one sergeant, four

officer and man mails to the adjutant
general each week his report showing
his activities for the week. Ranger
captains receive $P50 each; sergeant?

MODIFICATION OF TREATIES
IS DENIED BY PRESIDENT
Thinks Congress Exceeded Powers
In Passing Merohant Marine Bill.
Washington.—President Wilson has
declined to take steps toward termina-
tion of certain commercial treaties as
directed by congress in the merchant
marine act, holding that “such a course
would be wholly irreconcilable with
the historical respect which the United
States has shown for its international
engagements.”
Formal announcement of the presi-
dent’s decision and the reasons impell-
ing it was made at the state depart-
ment. The merchant marine act as ap-
proved by the president on the closing
day of the last session of congress
directed the executive within ninety
days to give notice to foreign nations
of the intentions of the United States
to terminate any sections of existing
commercial treaties which restrict the
rights to impose discriminatory chargf
on shipping in foreign bottoms.
