IRISH STATE TO GIVE HOMAGE TO ST.PATRICK Land Unites in Festivities; Rejoices at Prosperity of Past Year, BY GEORGE MACDONAGH United Press Special Correspondent QDBLIfv, March 16. —Ireland's chief hobby, politics, will be laid aside tomorrow and the whole country will join in doing honor to its patron saint—St. Patrick. The Irish Free State and the six northern counties, for once in a way will agree that everything must be done to celebrate it fittingly. The people of the Irish Free State will make special efforts in this direction for they have reason to congratulate themselves on the marked progress which the country has made since the last national festivities from the political, economic and social point of view. Won People's Faith The executive council, at the head of which is President William T. Cosgrove, has won the confidence of the vast majority of the citizens because of the courageous manner in which they have tackled the economic and political problems of the state during the past few years, and especially during the period since last St. Patrick’s day. An outstanding feature of the government's achievements is the establishment of peace and orderliness throughout the Free State. Though political reconciliation has not yet been brought about between the government party, that is, Cumann na Ngaedheal, and Eamon De Valera’s party, Fianna Fail, the entry of the latter into the Dail., whereby they adopted the constitution of the Free State, created a great sense of relief and satisfaction among all classes of the people. Appoints Envoys During the last year the government has extended the area of representation abroad; being presently represented at London, Washington, Paris, Brussels, Geneva and Ottawa, and it is expected here th%t the new papal state will be added to the list in the near future. In the economic sphere 1928 has been a year of very hard work. It has marked the beginning of a period when measures promoted by the government to assist agriculture—the main industry of the country—have begun to yield good results. The cattle, horses and dairying industries have shown marked improvement. GOVERNMENT PROBES PRISON SPY SYSTEM Attorney-General Reviews Warden’s Arguments Against It. Be Times Special WASHINGTON.

CITY BEGGARS OWN HOMES AND CARS

One Has Apartment House; Another Goes to Florida Every Winter. Indianapolis beggars, some of them, own homes, apartment houses and automobiles, according to Miss Edna L. Hamilton, Public Health Nursing Association. The association recently has made an investigation of beggars who “work” the city streets. The majority are in a combine, Miss Hamilton said. Some of them are employed by organizations with headquarters in other cities to which they must share a certain percentage of the money they collect. Others are independent of such organizations and work alone. There are three different types of beggars "working” here, the investigation showed. The fakir, who “makes up” as a cripple. The cripple or blind person, who, in most instances, seems in dire need of medical attention, and the “moocher,” who asks only for the “price of a meal.” The fakirs take precaution, Miss Hamilton asserts, in such a manner that it is difficult to prosecute them. Police have been ridiculed for arresting them. One blind woman who begs on the downtown streets owns an apartment house here, Miss Hamilton said. Another begger, a legless man, is driven to and from his “work” in an automobile and it is known that he takes an annual “vacation” to Florida each winter, taking his wife and child with him. Several of the crippled beggers own automobiles, one employes a chauffeur, and several of them own their own homes. The Public Health Nursing Association, a member agency of the Indianapolis Community Fund, has offered free medical attention to numerous crippled 'beggers, Miss Hamilton stated, but none has accepted. In the opinion of Miss Hamilton, the beggars will continue to work Indianapolis. “The public is very sympathetic,” she said. “It probably does not occur to some persons

Jesse Citron, Hollywood physician, has been indicted by the federal grand jury on a charge of issuing narcotic prescriptions to Alma Rubens, film actress. Dr, Citron was said to have given voluntary testimony before the jury when he learned that Miss Rubens’ mother, Mrs. Theresa Rubens, had been summoned. Miss Rubens is confined to the state narcotic hospital at Spadra, where she was confined by the psycopathic court at the request of her husband, Ricordo Cortez and her mother.
