IRISH FREE STATE MAT HOLD
< CAPTIVES SIX MONTHS LONGER
(Continued trcci rase one.)
era are waging a deliberate campaign
of disorderlinesB in jail in order to
make political capital of their re
.suiting discomforts. Such was the
procedure of the niinlst rs themselv •
against the IJritish in tlie old days,
the Free Slate officers say, and they
charge that the rebels are imitating
the tactics which they employed.
At a recent session, government
officials read letters from prisoners
lo their wives saying they were well
fed and cared for. Critics of the
prisons discounted the letters, ion
tending that the captives made light
of their sufferings to reassure rela
tives.
Little has developed to substantiate
tlie charges that the prisoners are
cruelly treated. Evidence was pro
duced at one investigation confirming
the allegations of heating captives hut
these appeared to be Isolated cases.
Numerous prisoners, on being freed,
have told newspaper correspondents
that they found the jails irksome
but were not inhumanly treated.
Congestion In the prisons is trace
able to the lack of space and the fact
that the total of prisoners is far in
excess of Ireland's jail aecommoda
tions.
The government, suy its representa
tives, is making every reasonable
effort toward humane treatment of
those in detention. To criticism of
the imprisonment itself, however, they
answer that the 12,000 captives ‘‘have
taken part in treasonable revolt, have
sho* down soldiers and carried on a
campaign of terrorism which throws
the Black and Tan regime into the
shade.”

SALTS BALK AT
MILLION MARKS
MANILA, P. I., Aug. 30—Because
they find It impossible to live on a
salary of .180,000 marks a month,
plus food and quarters, six sailors
from the German steamer Prussen of
ot the MainburK'American Line de
serted the Bhip here recently. They
have been arrested *>.nd turned over
to the customs police who will hold
the men until they can be sent back
to Germany.
“We don't want to return to Ger
many," the men declared after their
detention by police. “There Is no
work for us in Germany. In Ham
burg, where we came from, there are
only three or four days during the
week on which we can find work and
the rest of the week we are forced
to lay off. We want to work on
American shipB. On Ihe German
ships we earn 180,000 marks each,
but the total Of more than a million
marks for the six of us does not
amount to arythihg outside or Ger
many. The marks won't buy us hare
necessities of life."
OFFICIAL SPANKER FOR
SAN FRANCISCO CHINESE
SAN FRANCISCO. Auk. 30.—
"Spunking neatly done" might be
the sign on the door of the .head
quarters of the Chinatown squad at
I the Hall of Justice here. Police
I Corporal Jack Floyd Is the official
I spanker, and rarely a day passes
that he does not Imprint his trade
mark on some Incorrigible Chinese
youth.
Corporal Floyd, who, because of
| the fierce aspect he assumes on
[punitive occasions, is also known as
the "Mandarin of Chinatown,” first
entered his present profession about
three months ago when a worried
Oriental parent confied to him:
‘‘My .boy, Sam, he no ' llkae go
school. All-time lun away. Tako him
juv-nlle court—no good. No like
juv-ntle court. Sam Jus’ lap away
some more. You spankee him, MIs
tah Floyd." And Floyd did.
So appreciative was the parent of
Floyd’s handiwork that he pres
anted him with a canary bird In a
picturesque cage. Today a dozen
canary birds at the Hall of justice
testify that Floyd's business Is ex
panding.

SPEAKS TOO FAST
I - I
PARIS, Auk. 30—A Paris sur- |
geon is telling a good story ,
against lilin^lb lie was called j
| In to operate on ail American wo- |
| man for appendicitis, and when
I the cure was complete the pa
tient, seeking to show her grati
] tilde in some way that was not
j too commonplace, embroidered a |
cigar case and took it to the sur
geon.
Unfortunately the surgeon had
just had a run of patients who
had paid for Ills services by
j presents of little intrinsic value, |
; so he could tint help saying, “No, j
really. Madame, take away such
rubbish; a 1,000-franc note would
be much more acceptable."
"All right." said the American
j woman, and opening the cigar (
] case she drew out a 1,000-franc
i | bill from it, laid it on the table,
| and said coolly, “There were live
| others like it in the case."

SLIME USED TO
STOP OLD FIRE
1 HELENA. Mont., Au.g 30.—Re
ports to the Suite Industrial Acci
dent Commission indicate, Chairman!
Jerome Locke says, that the fire |
I which lias been burning in cne of,
the mines at Butte for thirty-three!
years has been brought under con-,
urol and will, it is believed, be ex- (
jtlnguUacd before the end of the
year. Victory over this fire, one of
ilie most stubborn known to the:
'mining industry, was made possible
through the use of tailings which’
i wire pumped into the fire area prin-j
'cipally through the Leonard mine
[of the Anaconda company.
The slime was pumped through
i Email drill holes from adjacent
! unde 'ground workings. Use of water
I which was employed for years was
[found to be ineffective and bulk
ihcadnig, which served to restrict the
i fire, also failed to choke out the
blaze, which started with an acci
I dent costing the lives of two men.
[The accident happened so long ago,
i however, that only a few of the resi
j dents of the mining camp remember
I anything about it.
Within a ftw months it will he
i possible to n nine mining in Ihe
I area which for a generation fire has
controlled, Chairman Ixicke states.
The fire lias cost more than $1,
! 000,000 in material, loss of revenue,
labor, etc., it is stated.
