IRELAND FEELS NEW VIOLENCE |£risoner Slain in Dash From 'Detention Camp Is Among Victims. LONDON, Jan. 24—The week opened ; With fresh news of violent death from • troubled Ireland. A farmer named Donovan was shot to death while trying to escape from a de- ; tentlon camp near Timoleague, according to an Exchange Telegraph dispatch from ; Bkibbereen. A 13-year-old boy died in a hospital at. Cork from a bullet in the heart. Black and Tan police were intensely active In County Cork over the weekend. More than eighty arrests were made in the district of Barryroe in the aouthwestern part of County Cork. A heavy force of armed Sinn Feiners attacked the Glenbower barracks, but was driven off. EIGHTY ARRESTED NEAR BARRYROE CpRK, Jan. 24.—Eighty persons were sted today In the vicinity of Barrv*roe. Most of them are expected to face court-martial HOTEL MEN SEEK WAY TO PUT STOP ON WET SEARCH (Continued From Page One.) on file in the city clerk’s office on which returns had been made since the present administration began. Os this number, only forty-eight are search warrauts for Intoxicating liquors. II'DGE PRITCHARD EirHESSES SURPRISE. Judge Pritchard expressed great surprise when informed of this failure to file returns. “There is one thing I never have done and will always refuse to do and that la to sign a blank search warrant,’’ he said. “But no matter who gets the search warrant he must file a return with the city clerk. I am surprised that this has uot always been done.’’ When a request was made at the office of the city clerk by a representative of the Times to see the search warrants issued for the search of hotels in this city, a deputy city clerk exclaimed: “Why, man, they don’t return one in ten of the search warrants issued for sea'-eh for liquor." Then the clerk took from a safe the small handful of search warrants returned’ to the clerk and stated “these are all that haTe been returned since the rro_ hibltlon law went Into affect and I guess that was early in April, 1917.’’ PCRPOSE TO SEIZE LIQUOR. No one is pretending that the management of the hotels of this city ore .conducting blind tigers and the purpose Los these searches, as announced by R. ■L Abel, a former private detective with 'unsavory record, is to “seize liquok.’’ It is not an offense, under the Indiana Isw, to have liquor in one's possession, Piniess it is established that the liquor is held for an illegal purpose. The only way that it can be established that the liquor is held for an illegal purpose is through a hearing in the court which issues a search warrant. Federal agents tyho have been searching the guests' rooms of the hotels under the Indiana law search warrauts, s.iy they have been taking the liquor viiich they seized to the Federal Building. When City Court opened this morning they had not made any returns on the search warrants they had served, and were apparently not inclined to have their actions in the hotels subject to any review {?y the city court. BECKER MAKES STATEMENT. William R. Seeker, general manager of the Lincoln Hotel, today made the following statement: “Anew phase of the prohibition muddle commenced in this city on I riday last when a band of rough necks armed with search warrants and whisky breaths Invaded the guest rooms of hotels, going through baggage and frightening ladies In their rooms and in their heds in an effort to locate liquor, an outrage up to this time unheard of in decent hotels. aHotel men in this city are not bootand do uot harbor men who are nn that line of business and I know tho ■snSflagemjnt of any hotel will discharge Han the spot or turn over to the police ■nf employe caught in that line or even inspected of delivering the goods. They are not seeking trouble but trying their best to avoid it. “Millions are invested in the hotel business even In Indianapolis.

Purse Found by Honest Person In these days of robberlos, holdups and crime generally It’s a relief to find an honest person. But take It from E. L. Bridges, an inspector for the street car company, living at tha Davalan Apartmants in Massachusetts avenue, there’s one honest person in Indianapolis. Bridges lost a pocketbook containing $32 and some valuable papers in a downtown department store. A few moments later It was picked up by Mrs. Carl A. Eke, 406 North Keystone avenue. Mrs. Eke spent the better part of two days in locating the owner and returning his property. And she said she wasn’t entitled to a reward, as It was her duty to return the pocketbook and Us contents. V _ managers to receive protection or are they to be hounded- by a class of people who could not secure employment In a decent legitimate business? I deeply regret not having my camera handy Saturday afternoon so that I could have furnished the papers a picture of these prohibition whisky smellers, and one of whom had the nerve to tell our attorney he was a gentleman. “Oh, well, we know everything is very much awry these days and unheard of problems are confronting us daily so I presume we must simply grin and bear it a while longer, but I have one request to make or Mr. Orblson or Mr. Un-Able, which Is to have their men bathe before again Tisiting a respectable hotel. It will be much better for the guests and water will do them no harm. “WM..R. SECKER, Hotel Lincoln.’’ GUARDED SWITCHBOARD. The statement of Mr. Seeker was prompted by a visit from the prohibition agents Saturday. Mr. Seeker says that one of them stationed himself at the hotel switchboard with a revolver in his hand and refused to allow the switchboard to be operated. While this “guardian” was on duty, others entered the rooms of guests and, according to Mr. Seeker, even searched the rooms of women who were sick in their beds. Mr. Seeker called attention to a visit to one room which a prominent citizen of Indianapolis has occupied as the home of himself and his wife for more than a year. Regardless of the fact that the wife has been seriously ill and was in bed at the time, Mr. Seeker says that the agents insisted on searching the place and took therefrom a bottle containing a small amount of liquor which had been provided for the patient. —- Just Viewpoint PEMBERYILLE, ’Ohio, Jan. 24. Sirah Long, who recently celebrated her one hundredth birthday, said She couldn’t see how the modern flapper can smoke cigarettes. She says she finds thorough enjoyment in her pipe.

BOOZE REVEALED BY AUTO CRASH Federal Officers Hold Car in Investigation. An automobile owned by August Gulffrie, 631 South East street. Is being held by Federal officers until it can be determined if the car, was stolen and used to haul whisky or 'if the whisky was in the car with Guiffrie's knowledge. Uuitfrie’s automobile collided with another automobile at Washington and Alabama streets Sunday, and the police found more than three gallons of “white mule’’ whisky in the automobile. Some time later they found Guiffrie and arrested him on the charge of operating a blind tiger. After the accident the police received a report that Guiffrie’s automobile had been stolen from his garage during the night. Guiffrie denied that the liquor belonged to him. Airs. Ida Huffman, 807 B est New York was arrested on the charge of "operating a blind tiger yesterday. Lieutenant Cox and squad searched the Huffman home and say they found six quarts of white mule. Lieutenant Woollen and Sergeant Tooley saw two men standing .between two houses in the 800 block on West Washington street last night and started to Investigate. The two men ran. Each policeman captured a suspect and in the possession of the men found a supply of “white mule.” McKinley Thompson.” 24, of 1336 South Alabama street, had one quart of liquor, and Herschel Lawrence, 26, of 627 South Delaware street, had one quart and two pint bottles of the same stuff. Both men were charged with operating a blind tiger. Lawrence and Thompson were each fined $36 and costs in city court on the charge of operating a blind tiger. “Good dice, don’t fool me,” said the voice that reached the ears of Lieutenant Woollen in the basement of the ; Colonial Hotel Let night. As the result : Henry Jones, negro porter at the hotel, is ; charged with gaming and keeping a gam- ] bling house. Three white men are charged with gaming. The police say they captured two sets of dice and 50. cents as evidence. “If the court please this is vaudeville,’’ | IXclaimed Deputy Prosecutor Little as he heard two actors explain how they happened tq be locked in the furnaco room with the porter. One “actor,” who said that he and his friend, Mr. Lynch, went to the furnace room to get a box in which to pack a suit of clothes, explained the presence of tlie other white man by saying that he suddenly came through the door. All denied "shooting” dice; but the testimony of the police was the three white men were “shooting” when the police catered the room. The colored porter, however, was busy shoveling coal into the furnace. “No. judge. ’’ testified I.ientenant Woollen, “I don't believe Jones was ‘shooting’ dice, for he was so excited when we made the arrest that he stuck his hand into the furnace and burned it.’ The Judge dismissed the charges of gaming and visiting n gambling house against Jones and fined Will Shilling. William Floyd and Henry Lynch $5 and costs for gaming.

GERMAN LEAGUE HEAD DEFIANT Says Assailed Orgesch Will Not Disband. BERLIN, Jan. 24. —“Neither France ror Germany can legally disband the orgesch, and we have no Intention of breaking up our protective league.” This declaration of defiance was made today by Councillor George Escherich, organizer and commander of the Bavarian Einwohnerwehr, and also president of the orgesch. (Note —The orgesch is fl group name of a series of organizations in Germany which were formed to w'ork for “the preservation of national interests.” It is widely charged that the real object of the orgesch is to attempt to re-eatablisli the monarchy.) Dr. Escherich is one of the most talked about and most written about men in Germany. The French press paints him as an ultra-militarist who is threatening anew war. The Gentian radicals accuse him of being an arch-conspirator in the movement to restore the monarchy. I)r. Eschrlch outlined the aims of the orgesch as follows: "If France orders and Wilhelmstrasstattempts to dissolve the orgesch they will find It impossible because the league Is protected by tbe clause guaranteeing general rights in the constitution. It In no way violates the treaty of Versailles. We have won legal test cases in the courts of Breslau nud Stettin and the Prussian minister of Justice has handed down a decision that he cannot forbid the orgesch because it is an unarmed society.” PIONEER JUSTICE IS DEAD.
