M'SWINEY REFUSES FINAL APPEAL TO EAT LONDON, Oct. 2. What is described as a final appeal to Terrence MacSwiney to accept food was made by a doctor in Brixton prison this morning, according to the noon bulletin of the Irish self-determination league, on the condition of the hunger-striking lord mayor of Cork. The mayor, however, although told ho was sinking fast, declined to v change his decision to asstain from ' talking nourishment, which he declared was irrevocable. The league's bulletin read: "The condition of Lord Mayor MacSwiney remains virtually unchanged. The doctor warned the mayor this morning that he was sinking fast and made a final appeal to him to take food. The mayor refused, saying his mind had been definitely made up from the beginning and that his decision was irrevocable." Tliis was the 51st day of Mayor MacSwiney's hunger strike. MacSwiney Had Better Night. MacSwiney passed a much better night at Brixton prison last night, tie had a fair amount of sleep, and although very weak, felt very much rested.

DALTON, Mass., Oct. 2. Former

United States Senator W. Murray Crane, who has been seriously ill for several weeks, died suddenly at his home here early today. While in attendance at the notification ceremonies of Governor Calvin Coolidge as Republican vice presidential nominee at Northampton last summer Mr. Crane was striken ill. He recovered quickly, however and it was announced that he was overcome by the heat. A few weeks ago his condition became so serious that he was confined to his bed. He failed rapidly last night and death occurred about 4 o'clock this morning. An outstanding characteristic of Mr. Crane, former governor of Massachusetts and for two terms a United States senator from that state, was the fact that he attained eminence in public life without being an orator. Although he served eight years in the senate it was said of him that he never made what really could be called a "speech" in that body. The successor of St-aator Hoar, whose wit and eloquence rang through the halls of congress, Crane's chief claim to distinction was that of silent leadership and of a party mediator. Senator Crane on more than one occasion in the interval from 1904 to (Continued on Page Ten) COX BEGINS LAST LAP IN HIS TOUR OF WEST KANSAS CITY, Mo., Oct. 2 Governor James M.

TENANTS OF PELHAM TO OWN APARTMENTS Co-operative ownership of apartments, a plan that is havin? widespread application in such cities as New York and Indianapolis, Is announced for Richmond by Frank F. Woolling. prominent Indianapolis real estate operator, who promoted the purchase of the Pelham apartments from John A. Aufderheide of Indianapolis, by a local corporation. Under Mr. Woolling's plan the stock in the Pelham Apartments company will be owned in equal amounts by six stockholders, there being six apartments in the building. Each stock holder will lease the apartment he is to occupy from the company, thu3 clearly defining his rights as well as obligations. Each will also be a director in the corporation, consequent lv eaoh tenant will be his own land lord. The co-operative plan has proved very popular in the larger cities where it has been adopted on a large scale during the past two years. It gives former tenants all the advantages cf home ownership, protection against rent increases or being compelled to move to other quarters and also against any objectionable neighbor living in the apartment. Mr. Woolling is not only prominent in real estate circles in Indianapolis, but also in political. He is at present the Democratic nominee for treasurer of Marion county.

(By Associated Press) WrEST JEFFERSON, O., Oct. 2 Advocating an agricultural and industrial policy to co-ordinate American resources for the common good. Senator Harding declared in a speech at a Republican rally near here today thai "one for all and all for one" must be the motto of individual effort jf the nation is to achieve its full potentialities. "I want to see American life so knit together," he said, "and every American so appreciative of the fact that the welfare of his fellow is his own welfare, that we will go forward to weave a great and humane pattern of united Americanism." Appeals for Farmer

Making a particular appeal for bet terment of the condition of the farmer, the nominee asserted that agricultural production really was of greater interest to those who live in cities than to the farmers themselves. As a part of the same community of interest, lie said, transportation facilities mas' be stabilized and a rehabilitated railroad system supplemented by inland waterway development and by commercial use of motor trucks to carry freight. Are United People. "We are beginning to learn," he continued, "that we are not only in name and desire, a united people, but that we are so in fact, and I point to the relationship of our cities to our rural population and of both to our American railways as an example of our interwoven prosperity. It is impossible to pull one of the threads of that great fabric without starting the un- ' 1 1 - a . e , M ravrmng vi me prosperity oi an oi us." The senator reiterated his belief that farmers should be given the right of cooperative marketing, should be encouraged through the federal farm loan system to own the farms they live on. should be assured stable transportation facilities and a stable labor supply, and should be given protection against unfair competition from abroad. s REPUBLICAN WOMEN GALLED TO MEETING Republican precinct committee-women of the city and all members of the city committee are asked to be at the Republican headquarters, second floor, Pythian building some time during this evening.

GRAND JURY BEGINS WORK ON WEDNESDAY Prosecuting Attorney Gath Freeman announced Saturday that the October term grand jury had been ordered to report for duty next Wednesday. It is expected the jury will be in session several days. One of the men drawn for grand jury service is Harry Hodgin and, according to Sheriff Carr, there are three men bearing that name who reside in Wayne county. "I wish somebody would tell me which Harry Hodgin is expected to serve on the grand jury. I have no way of telling." Sheriff Carr said. It was suggested to him that he arrange a meeting of the three Harry Hodgins so they could draw lots to determine which of them would be a grand juror. One of the first cases to be called to the attention of the grand jury is that of Elmer Fackson. who was arraigned in city court Friday charged with murder in the first degree and then bound over to the grand jury.

DEMOCRATIC COSTS EXPOSED BY ELLIOTT IN COUNTY SPEECHES

Abington township, regarded the strongest Democratic community in Wayne county, witnessed a Republican invasion Friday evening, when a large and enthusiastic G. O. P. meeting was held in , the K. of .P. hall In the-town of Abington. The meeting was addressed by Congressman Richard N. Elliott. The Abington meeting closed a day of active campaigning by Congressman Elliott in Wayne county. In the forenoon he addressed largely attended meetings of party workers at GreenSfork and Hagerstown. Friday afternoon Mr. Elliott was in Richmond and he spent the time meeting many voters. Mr. Elliott was accompanied to Greensfork and Hagerstown by Walter F. Bossert, district chairman; Paul Comstock, county chairman, and Ed Paul, of Cambridge City, a member of the state central committee. Bossert's Prediction Mr. Bossert made the prediction that the Republican ticket would be elected in the Sixth district by a plurality of from 7,000 to 10,000. He said the plurality would be 10,000 if the normal Republican vote in the district was registered, and, he said, he has reason to believe it will be. Two years ago Mr. Elliott was re-elected to congress by a plurality of 3,500, but at that time the women were not permitted to vote. Precinct Committeeman Borrodaile of Abington township is well pleased over the political outlook in Abington township, from a Republican standpoint. Mr. Borrodaile and other G. O. P. workers in that township will not be surprised, they say, if the township takes its place in the Republican ranks, for the first time since the Civil war.

Veterans Renew Old Ac

quaintances at Annual Reunion of Famous Organization Held in Court House. MANY FROMllSTANGE Registration of veterans early today, indicated that the annual reunion c the 69th Indiana Volunteers, at thn G. A. R. rooms in the court house, would be an event long to be remembered. Several veterans attended the national G. A. R. convention in Indianapolis, and came here from there. Many of those from a distance stayed near here purposely to attend. Among thera was S. J. Johnson, of Kansas. Mr. Johnson was a member of Company H when the 69th was formed here, and after the war he went west, where he has been living since, only leturning to attend reunions at intervals of a few years. He has been a resident of Kansas for 52 years. Don't Like to Talk. "I want you to say a few words today. Jack," said Colonel Oran Perry, forer commander of the organization, as he shook hands with one erect veteran "Jack" showed signs of panic, ana the colonel romm"nced a reassuring scries of comments. "Tell you what 1 11 do, colonel," said Jack, suddenly, brightening. "I'll leave that part of it to my wife." Crutches and canes were noticeably absent among this lot of ex-service men. Despite the half century or more since thoy shouldered a gun many of them looked hale and hearty, and young enough to do service in another war, should necessity arise. Memories of the old days when they slept on the ground under the stars, marched under the blazing sun. or perhaps were exposed to the rheumatic atmosphere of a camp in a swamp or in a pouring rain, constituted no small part of the conversation. Politics took a back 6eat. Foreign, affairs took a back seat. The phrase "before the war" means something different to these veterans than a suggestion of the soft days prior to 1914. It meant a period back in the far distant past when hominy and corn cakes, corn bread and sometimes parched corn coffee were staple articles of diet.. t Memories of Sherman's "YarooT ex pedition, which sailed from Memphis Dec. 20. 1862, on the steamer "Sam Gaty" a vessel whose condition was such that its passengers were moro worried over it than over their coming battles; memories of long days spent on the march and nights spent on guard or scouting expeditions, all were lived over again at the reunion of the survivors of the 69th Saturday. Dig a Passage One of the most interesting exper iences of the veterans was one they underwent at Young's Point on the Mississippi where General Grant, in an effort to get his army past Vicksburg in safety, set the 69th and other regiments to digging a passage for the Mississippi through a bend in the river in the hope that the channel so formed would widen enough to allow the troops to get by on their boats. Living conditions that would have discouraged a less stout-hearted group of men were encountered by them here. Swampy ground and a damp atmosphere took their toll, the regiment losing 31 men before the project was finally abandoned. That the great war was not the only one in which seemingly insurmountable obstacles were overcome could be attested by the reminiscences, of these veterans, some of whom had still fresh In their minds the capture of Vicksburg following a special expedition in which their regiment took a prominent part, and which opened the way eventually for Grant's main force to get in its work. Receive Orders. Orders for the regiment to proeeet' on this expedition were received by Colonel Bennett, commanding, March 30, 1863. Besides the 69th ,a detachment of pioneers and one of cavalry also took part in the expedition, the purpose of which was, as stated in the order, to open a means of communiontion between the present camp of tlso army and New Carthage, by way of Richmond, La., with a view to getting the army in shape to attack. The expedition arrived at Roundaway Bayou, near Richmond at 2 p. in. March 31, and the regiment crossed the water in boats under fire of the (Continued on Page Nine) Weather Forecast
