Support of Home Rule
SMITH IISES
American Hibernians Respond
Liberally to Appeal Made After
Great Demonstration in Chicago
Against England’s Domination.
Another Feature of Meeting Was
Adoption of a Resolution Con
demning Great Britain's Policy
Toward U. S, in Canal Dispute.
‘‘HICAOO, Aug 23 - Following the
gigantic demonstration for Irish horn*
rule at the thirty-eighth annual pic
nic of the United Irish Societies of
Chicago, held in Brands Park, sons of
Erin h» i • are confident that in a few
week* American Hibernians will hu*'e
i ised a fund that will Insure the
home rule for which they have fought
so long and which they have almost
tght about.
br
Fifteen tnousancl por'-xm* visited
the park during the day and they re
sponded liberally to the call for funds
wit,i which to <arry on their cam-
pa iirn. Thiee thousand dollar* was
rained at that time and the fund has
grown steadily since.
A feature of the occasion was the
reading b\ .farms T. Clark, president
of the United Iris!) Societies, of a
telegram from William Randolph
HearM. in which he warmiy favored
home rule The president was quick
to reply express ng the thanks of the
societies for me co-operation they
have received in their work from Mr.
Hen rat* papers.
British Canal Stand Scored.
Another important feature of the
day was the resolution prepared in
advance and puased by a unanimous
vote, opposing the British contention
over the Panama Canal tolls.
The resolution* stronglv uphold the
views of the United States that thi©
countrv, having built the canal and
paid foi it without old should have
the right of pawing her own ships
through li without paying tolls, and
that thin action of the United State-
is entirely within its rights as a na
tion and is not subject to the criti
cism of any other nation.
The w >rk of John Redmond, parlia
ment irv loader, in forcing ' h$ home
rule hill to the verge of final passage
h mi v !■ v . <>mmended highly.
One of the most Impressive features
of the occasion was the exhibition of
a full-size model of the statue of Col
onel U. Flnerty, the famous soldier-
journalist and a son of whom Erin
is very proud.
Colonel Klnertv wrote the story of
the Custer campaign against old Sit
ting Hull, and the massacre In which
Cutters whole command was wiped
out. In his later years Colonel Fln-
ert> was editor of the Irish American,
and devoted all his energies to the
home rule campaign, now so nearly

Work of Irish Sculptor.
The splendid statue of t lie old fight
er is the work of Professor Charles
t Mulligan, of the Art Institute, a
pupil of MacMonnies and Saint-Haud-
dens.
Among tlie speakers who addressed
the enthusiastic throng were United
States Senator George K. Chamber
lain of Oregon, former Attorney Gen
eral Maurice T. Maloney, P. H.
O’Donnell. Joseph E Ryan, John T.
Sutton, of Lincoln. Neb and Harry
VV Smith, of Springfield. Ill
In part. Mr. Maloney said “We of
the Celtic race have always struggled
for o place in the sun. and have made
h good deal of history, but we have
b*en accused in the past of not be
ing quite what w*e ought to be In the
old country, and did not a<*t t<» our
own interest. English misgovern-
ment and oppression were solely to
blame for this
“Now l can see a new Ireland rising
above the horizon a nation once
again The Irish people had advanc
ed with giant strides, now that the
long tribulation of our night is pass
ing away. '
Senator Twist* Lion's Tail.
United States Senator George FT
Chamberlain of Oregon said:
"My people came to this country
to avoid persecution in the mother
country, persecution by the English
Government Ireland had no meas
ure of freedom in those times."
Speaking on the Panama Canal, he
said: "We have a perfect right to
arrange to suit ourselves charges on
a canal that was made in America,
solely by American money. If Eng
land will not send her exhibits to the
San Francisco Exposition on this ac
count. 1 would say let her keep them
at home
"If we were not careful to with
stand these encroachments of the
British Government, we might in the
end find ourselves in the same case
as Ireland finds herself to-day. I
foresee home rule for that country,
w thin the next two or three years
without question of doubt."

OK DIAL telegrams of congratulation and thanks were ex
changed between William Randolph Hearst and James T.
—' (Mark, president of the United Irish Societies of Chicago on
the occasion of their annual picnic recently. Mr. Hearst expressed
his belief in the justness and the ultimate success of the cause of
home rule, while the head of the Irish societies in his reply earn
estly thanked the publisher for his co-operation in their work in
behalf of their fatherland. Mr. Clark’s message follows:
CHICAGO, Aug. 20, 1913.
Hon. William Randolph Hearat,
San Francisco.
The sentiment of the United Irish Societies toward your pa
pers has always been one of appreciation. Often in the past we
have admired your unselfish advocacy of the cause of liberty and
the 15,000 Irish-Americans at the ceremony of unveiling of the
John F. Finerty monument were thrilled by your message in fa
vor of home rule for Ireland. This monument is symbolic of the
revitalized Irish nation that has been the inspiration of Parnell,
Redmond and other patriots, and we believe it would strengthen
the home rule cause Immeasurably if you would publish in your
Sunday papers, in the near future, a comprehensive account of
our recent demonstration here, and emphasize its significance to
Irish liberty.
JAS. T. CLARK, President,
United Irish Societies.
Mr. Hearst’s Home Rule Message
San Francisco, Aug. 15.
As an American believing ardently in liberty and oppor
tunity in equal rights and equal justice, I believe sincerely in
home rule for Ireland.
If I were an Englishman I would believe with even great
er earnestness in home rule not only for Ireland, but for every
individual integral part of the British Empire.
I would believe in genuine home rule and in general home
rule. I would believe in home rule which would insure com
plete independence in local government for every state and
in a general government which would afford every state equal
rights, equal liberties and proportionate representation.
Such just and genuine home rule is the best and perhaps
the only remedy for the threatened decadence and possible
dissolution of the British Empire. The preservation and per
petuation of the British Empire in its full prestige and power
are only to be found in a voluntary federation of independent
states, not held together loosely by compulsion but molded
into an imperial entity by the natural and nationalizing forces
of mutual confidence, mutual affection and mutual interest.
If I were an Irishman I would take pride in this fight for
home rule, first because of the benefit I was helping to confer
upon my country and my own countrymen, and, secondly,
because of the benefit which will inevitably ensue to all other
sections of the British Empire and to other nations through
out the world.

clares South’s Loss in 17 Years
Is $1,000,000,000.
Continued from Page 1.
an isolated spot In Texas until it has
now reached the State of Alabama,
and I have been appalled by the dam
age wrought by its ravages. During
all these years I have been hoping
for the discovery by which the pest
could be exterminated, or even check
ed, but in both I have been disap
pointed.
Likes Zone Remedy Plan.
Some time ago the suggestion was
made to establish across the entire
cotton belt, east of the areas infested
by the weevil a zone of 100 miles, in
which no cotton should be planted.
It was argued that this would check
the eastward advance of the weevil, as
it subsists only on *he coiton plant,
and it was also argued by entomolo
gists and other experts on plant and
insect life that my moving this zone
westward from year to year all the
weevils In the Cotton States would be
starved out and entirely exterminated
until the Mexican border was reached.
The idea appealed to me very
strongly, and I have given the sub
ject a great deal of study ever since.
I believe this plan is entirely feasi
ble, and while at first thought the
cost may seem prohibitive, yet when
the estimated cost is compared with
the estimated saving the zone plan
must be looked upon as a very sound
business proposition.
The Government entomologists,
farm demonstration agents and others
admit that if this zone plan is put
into operation it will undoubtedly
check and finally exterminate the boll
weevil, as it will have nothing to feed
upon, and they admit at the same
time that no other plan that has been
tried so far has been at all effective.
I have had an estimate made of the
cost of the proposed zone and 1 think
it is a very liberal one. It follow©:
"The cessation of cotton growing
over an area of 46,245 square miles, in
which the crop is valued at $98,990,047
per annum, is at first glance such an
appalling suggestion that few have
even thought to look deeper.
Sees Need of Substitute.
“We must add alto to this the loss
in ginning business, which is com
puted at $2,915,518 er annum and the
loss in seed products totaling $5,633,-
562. This means that there must be
compensation for a los© in earning
value of $107,539,127 per annum.
"In the first place, any scheme
which would call for the cessation of
cotton growing must provide the
means and knowledge for grovN ing
something else in the place of cotton.
"A large crop of trained agricul
turists instructing in the cultivation
of new and profitable crops and in the
principles of rotation, maintenance
of soil fertility, etc., would help the
people to double and treble the output
of their land within very few years.
It would al©o be necessary to supply
seed for planting the 2.573.672 acres of
cotton land In other crop©. Thus the
greater part of the prospective loss
•'an be met at a reasonable expense.
• The loss of the ginners and part o'
the loss of the oil men will have to be
assumed by the Government. This
loss would not exceed $9,000,000.
• It would be necessary for the west
ern portion of the quarantine area to
remain out of cotton for possibly
three years.
“East of the proposed quarantine
line there lies an area of 112.027
square miles of territory in which
cotton can be produced The average
yield per acre (1908-1811 ) for this
territory has been 3.051.103 bales (500
pound©). of which 32.892 bales (500
pound* was island cotton. The
value of the latter was $4,224,235.
Places Faith in Expert.
"The value of the remaining or up
land cotton valued at 11.9 cents per
pound, was $174,345,554. The value
of the equivalent amount of seed pro
duced would tv $33,943,632. Thus the
annual value of the producers of the
crop to be protected is $217,614,211.
"Historv of the boll weevil has
shown that ir this area is not pro
tected it© production will be lowered
year by year until possibly 50 per cent
of the crop i© taken, end sometimes as
hi eh as 75 per cent."
The zone plan is the only sugges
tion that has yet been offered that
holds out any promise of relief. The
co»t of the zone plan is undoubtedly
great, but when the estimated cost
is compared with the estimated sav
ing. the protection of sections not
vet reached and the ultimate eradica
tion of the boll weevil throughout
the entire cotton belt, the cost does
not seem to be prohibitive. In fact,
the cost of the zone system will be
mild compared with the loss that
will be entailed if the boll weevil is
not exterminated.
Sea Island Crop Imperiled.
It is practically certain that if the
boll weevil spreads to the South At
lantic States the sea island cotton in
dustry will be wiped out entirely.
This is by reason of the semi-tropical
nature of the islands, the luxuriant
foliage which affords a safe harbor and
breeding ground for the insects dur
ing winter and summer, and the fact
that there is neither extreme >peat
nor extreme cold, both of which are
destructive to insect life. It is my
deliberate judgment that if the boll
weevil reaches the sea islands, there
will be no more sea island cotton.
I have spoken of the aggregate
loss to the country, but the feature
that appeals to me most strongly is
the loss to the individual. The coun
try may eventually recover from the
damage done to the cotton crop, but
the individual cotton farmer whose
income is cut in half or destroyed,
and whose property is made to de
preciate in value, may never recover.
The loss to him will be irreparable.
My object in writing this is in
order that the people may know just
how seriously the cotton crop is be
ing menaced, and that they may dis
cuss and understand the only plan
that has been offered, which promises
to accomplish the result needed. If |
any other plan is suggested that |
promises to accomplish the result at i
a less cost or in a quicker manner. !
1 will give it my heartiest indorse- I
ment.
1 will be glad to have the farm
er- and others of the South ion- '
sider this problem carefully and •
write me what they think of it. |

Husband Declares That Their
Conspiracy Kept Him in Bed
Three Years.
CHICAGO, Auk. 23.—Alleging that
his wife was madly infatuated with
a man of strange, weird, magnetic
power©, and that they conspired to
incapacitate him by administering
mysterious potions, Theodore Speab-
er. a former undertaker of Chicago,
tive and Lieutenant Governor Martin
Glynn are busy, the one strengthening
his defense, the other preparing to in
vigorate his attack. In the meantime,
the official business of the Empire
State is at a standstill.
The government of New York pre
sents a paradox unique to republican
government. The State has two Gov
ernors, and it has none. Two men
maintain they have the right to trans
act the State's business. No business
is being transacted.
And in this struggle for power, the
battle seemingly centers about a
woman, a woman who has no voice in
the government, who is not even al
lowed to vote under the statutes of
the State.
Wife's Illness Questioned.
In addition to the law point raised
by the defenders of Sulzer that he
can not be impeached or tried for
things he did before he took the oath
of office, the defense lavs greatest
stock on the declaration by Sulzer’s
wife that she, not the Governor, used
checks he had received as campaign
contributions to speculate on the stock
market.
On the other hand, it is learned that
the. Erawley Committee, which
brought to light the charges on which
the Governor was impeached, will
make her confession the subject of a
rigid examination to shatter, if pos
sible, the defense, which will be based
largely on her statement.
In the meantime, Mrs. Sulzer. It is
reported, is dangerously ill, her nerves
broken, it is said, under the strain
which she has experienced since the
charges were brought against her
husband.
Sulzer’s enemies even question this
illness. They question it so seriously
that it, too, is to be investigated. The
first step in this investigation.
Both Accused of "Shamming.”
The committee believes that "talk
ing too much" consisted of telling sto
ries of Mrs. Sulzer’s true condition
which were not to the liking of the
Governor. An inkling of this purpose
was contained In an interview with
Assembly Majority Leader Aaron J .
Levy, who declared;
"Not only is Mrs. Sulzer’s confes
sion a sham, but the pretended illness
of Mrs. Sulzer is a sham, of which
William Sulzer is the chief perpe
trator.”
However, should Sulzer be re
moved from office by Tammany votes,
with all the judges of the Court of
Appeals voting in his favor, he woul 1
count it a vindicaton and proof of his
assertion that he is being persecute*!
because he would not turn over the
State to Tammany Hall.

Chester Boynton Sue
By Wife for Libel
Echo of Famous Litigation Against
Rev. William B. Ayres in
New Case.
BOSTON, Aug. 23. Mrs. Helen Ther
esa Willet Boynton, of Wollaston, Mass.,
wife of Chester A. Boynton, who some
time ago created a sensational church
scandal by suing the Rev. William B.
Ayres, pastor of the Park and Down
Congregational Church, Wollaston, for

ton’s affections, has filed a libel for
divorce from her . husband on the
grounds of cruel and abusive treatment.
Boynt claimed in his suit that the
minister i;ad broken up his home after
joining the Boynton household as a
boarder. Mr. Ayres and Mrs. Boynton
in the former's case of defense de
nied all of the husband's allegations and
declared that the whole trouble in the
Boynton household sprang out of Boyn

Park and Down Church, at which Boyn

members.
Boynton lost his suit and was ex
pelled from the Wollaston church. Boyn
