City Tensely Awaits Further
Tragedies—Streets De-
serted at Night.
CORK, Nov. 5.—(By U. P.)—Ten-
sion In Cork increased today with
reports of wide-spread raids by mili-
tary forces. On all alden it appeared
to be taken for granted that fur-
ther tragedies ure bound to occur
and British and Irish steeled them-
selves to meet them. „
The excitement surrounding
Terence MacSwiney's funeral had not
died away today. The election last
night of Donald O'Callaghan as lord
mayor of Cork showed that clearly.
O'Callaghan was associated closely
with MacSwiney. He attended the
funeral services in London and took
part in the fighting at Holyhead in
an effort to prevent the seizure of the
body by British soldiers.
Cork bustled with ordinary busi-
ness affairs during the day. The
river Lee is crowded with small craft
and tho quays are lined with work-
ers. The factories are busy. But at
all times there Is a tension showing
itself in the quick gatherfng of
crowds at the smallest provocation.
Streets Deserted At Night,
At night the streets are deserted.
The curfew is in effect. Pedestrians
may go about if they have passes,
but even then it is dangerous as
fcenterles and other armed men are
quick to shoot.
In tho spacei n front .of the jail,
hundreds of women gather to pray
for the prisoners who are wasting
away, but whose courage has not
forsaken them.
With the exception of John Ilen-
nesey. all nine hunger strikers were
conscious when the United Press
correspondent visited the Jail. Hen-
nesey is believed to have sunk into
a coma from which he will not
emerge. This was the eighty-seventh
day of the strike. Jail doctors said
the men have no medical care but
w.at txpfcrt nursing is provided by-
nuns.
Relatives still arc admitted to the
prison and the men are able to
k. whisper to them and to the priest
who offers them consolation.
Bid Not Tempt Men.
The physicians denied they had
tempted the men to eat by placing
fragrant dishes in the cells. The
men had been accepted at their
word and no effort had been made
to make it more difficult for them,
physicians said.
"Several days ago," one physician
said, "the bishop of Cork attempted
to dissuade the men from their
course. The food has been rejected
and none has been ordered since."
The men show the ravages of
starvation. Their faces are drawn
und their skin is stretched tightly
over their prominent cheek bones.
Their features are colorless. The
weights of all have sunk to about
half of normal.
The nine are resigned to their
death. They consider themselves
bound to carry out their strike,
especially since the death of Mac
Swiney and two of their number now
in the Cork cemetery.
IU'BLIN, Not. 5.—Wholesale
military raids throughout south-
ern Ireland yesterday were re-
ported at the Irish office today.
The raids were accomplished
without bloodshed. Bales of
documents were seized and a fen
arrests made. Three soldiers
were killed in an ambush, ac-
cording to official reports. Six
more were wounded. The men
were ambushed as they left
Lrnnnrd where extensive re-
prisals had been carried out.
One of the attacking party was
killed.
MAIL ORDER HOUSES
CUT CLOTHING AGAIN
CHICAGO, Nov. 5.—Further re-
ductions in clothing prices were
announced heTe today by mall
order houses.
Prices of men's shirts and
women's silk hosiery were slashed
25 per cent and women's waists
and dresses, blankets, comforters,
woolen yarns, ribbons and over-
alls were reduced 20 per cent. A
16 per cent cut was made In col-
ored cotton goods, flannels and
In some lines of hosiery. Com-
mission men said turkeys for
Thanksgiving will retail at fifty
cents a pound.

Colored People. The association

The American people, by the un-
paralleled majority they gave the re-
publican candidate, ordered the
leafiue of nations scrapped, accord-
ing to tne interpretation Senator
Harding places on the solemn re-
ferendum." He made It clear today
that this mandate will be carried out
to the letter.
The Marlonltes, in their parade
carried up to the front porch a
stretcher bearing the efhgy of a
corpse labelled "League of Nations."
"You didn't want a surrender of
the United States—You wanted
America to be free and unmortgaged.
That's why you didn't care for the
league which is now deceased."
At the same time he will under-
take the rebuilding of an entente

and the rest of the world.
Normal Isolations.
This policy contemplates America
taking an active part in restoring
normal international conditions.
This means resumption of relations
with Germany as soon as possible
and with Russia and Mexico ulti-
mately, and negotiations looking to-
ward an "associations ol nations."
He has not yet explained the differ-
ence between a league and an asso-
ciation of nations.
Two moves are expected to be
made by Senator Harding in the
near future the meeting of Mexican
leaders, including probably Presi-
dent-elect Obregon on the border
whil vacationing at Point Isabl,
Texas, and conferences with senate
leaders over the drafting of a resolu-
tion declaring war with Germany at
an end, and providing for resump-
tion of normal trade relations. Al-
though Secretary of State Colby has
intimated the Wilson administration
may recognize the Obregon adminis-
tration it Is regarded that this step
will be left to the discretion of the
new administration.

The terms on which Senator Hard-

ico will be "firm" but cau be stated
authoritatively. Mexico's national
dignity will be fully respected but
the Harding administration will In-
sist on her complexly and whole-
heartedly adhering to "the code of
international honor."
Mexico will be required to give un-
qualified assurance of her willing-
ness and ability to protect American
lives and property within her bord-
ers. It is not likely that the Hard-
1 ing administration will go to the ex-
tent recommended in the recent re-
port of Senator Fall's investigating
j committee in demanding American
supervision of Mexican internal af-
fairs.

POINT ISABEL, Texas, Nov. 6.—
Point Isabel, semi-tropical seacoast
town, was getting ready today to ex-
tend its best hospitality to the na-
tion's next chief executive.
R. B. Creager's summer home,
where the president-elect and Mrs.
Harding will live the two weeks they
are here, is in readiness. The local
hotel, where some of Harding's per-
sonal friends who will be here with
him and a limited numbor of news-
paper men will be quartered, is get-
ting ready to do the biggest business
In its history.
It Is doubtful if a more distant
end exclusive retreat could have
been picked by the president-elect.
The town of about 400, of which a
large percentage are Mexicans, is
on Laguna Madre, eight miles north
of the mouth of the Rio Grande, and
is connected with the Rio Grande
and the mainland by a narrow gauge
railway.
The republican campaign commit-
tee of this city has invited Harding
to stop over In this city for a few
hours while en route to Point Isa-
bel, Texas.
Whether or not President-elect
Harding will stop here is not yet
known.

January until this board Is estab-
lished. the wages paid the men will
be based on their output. In spite
of attempts at camouflage, this is
precisely the datura line scheme
against which the men have directed
their most vigorous offensive, and
which was rejected in the last ref-
erendum ballot.
The pretense of the government
that the basis is reached by calcu-
lating the revenue from the export
of coal is denounced as a sham by
the miners. The mode of calcula-
tion by the operators makes this
'revenue" dependent purely upon the
total national output. The miners'
leaders are accepting this term only
because it is temporary.
There is a good deal of fear, how-
ever, that In many districts the wage
board upon which the miners will
be represented, when It Is once set
up, will 1^ sabotaged and the datum
line arrangement made permanent. If

SOVIET COMMISSION
AFTER SOME SKILLED
GERMAN WORKMEN
Marked Ballots Found In
Sewer; District Attorney
Starts Investigation.
NEW YORK, Nov. 4.—District At-
torney Swann of this city, has
ttarted an Investigation of alleged
election frauds that may turn out
to be the most sensational in re-
cent years.
The finding of twe|ty-slx ballots
marked for Swann liv the race for
supreme court Justice in a sewer at
Orchard and Stanton streets by Wil-
liam Vogt and Josh Hoffman started
the Investigation by the district at-
torney.
Coupled with the alleged intimida-
tion and attacks on Socialist voters
and the beating of one of the Social-
istic candidates It Is stilted that in
many districts In New York, election
frauds were rampant.
All poll clerks, election inspectors
and the board of canvasrflng inspec-
tors in the thirteenth election dis-
trict of the fourth assembly district,
Manhattan were subpoenaed Thurs-
day night to appear at the district
attorney's office Friday morning for
an investigation.
The district attorney stated that
these men would be "interviewed by
the grand Jury nnd if found guilty.
I will ask for the extreme penalty
for the violation of election laws,
Just as I have always done."
Board of election records In the
above district show there were f 85
registered voters while there were
604 defective ballots, op more than
one defective ballot for every voter.
In one Harlem district, it is al-
leged, there were were forty-three
more votes for the Judiciary candi-
dates than there were registered
voters.
The twenty-six ballots found in the
sewer were marked for Swann. the
district attorney, according to the
affidavit made by the two finders.
According to returns Swann was de-
feated for supreme court Justice by
a small margin.
75 Per Cent ot Socialists Lent-
Votes to Beat Ferris Is
Claim.
BY CAM CAMPBELL,
Chairman of the Democratic State
campaign Committee.
Written for United Press.
The republican victory in Okla-
homa, while unexpected, can easily
be accounted for as shown by tho
results In the various counties.
Disaffection in the democratic
party as the result of the bitter pri-
mary contest between Senator T. P.
Gore and Scott Ferris was not a de-
ciding factor in the race.
Briefly, tho cause can be summed
up as follows:
The coalition of the Socialists and
republicans was perfect. There
were approximately 75,000 to 80,000
In the state. The count shows that
approximately 75 per cent of this
ote cast their ballots for the repub-
lican ticket.
This, in a great measure, is ac-
counted for by the fact that the So-
cialists objected to President Wil-
son's vigorous war measures and
that Congressman J. W. Harreld, re-
publican candidate for United States
senate, voted to let Victor Bergov
tain his seat as a member of tho
house.
In addition to this, a campaign
of hate, conducted against President
Wilson for over two years by the re-
publican party could not be counter-
acted in a short campaign of two
months.
A few weeks before election tho
bottom dropped out of, the cotton
market thereby causing great disaf-
fection among tho cotton growers in
the southern part of the Btate.
Other elements reacted toward the
benefit of our opponent.
Add to this fact that over 25.000
negroes were registered and vote!
nnd youNhave the answer to the rea-
son why Oklahoma, for the first time
in its history, entered the republican
column.
1 Contrary to the unannounced be-
lief of the republican leaders. Okla-
homa is not a republican, or oven a
doubtful state under normal condi-
tions. Normal conditions will re-
turn within less than four years and
we arc confident that the democracy
of Oklahoma will reassert itself in
even more positive terms than it has
at any time In the past.
