raw gift SOUTH IRELAND IS . PLUNGED IN GRIEF / Developments Expected To Follow Death of Lord Mayor.?Cork Is An Armed Camp. Cork. Island. Oct. 26?Feverish in terest in possible developments caused by the death of Lord Mayor MacSwiney of this city, which occurred in Brixton prison London this morning, is mingled with the grief in which his death has plunged South Ireland. Al' though the people appear stirred to the highest degree of bitterness, it is regarded as extremely improbable that there will be any outbreaks or < disorderly demonstrations in this city, j It is expected, however, there will be a considerable extension ana intensification of guerrila warfare against the police and military forces, vlnch, anticipating reprisals, are Ambling tbeir vigilance, especially in remote districts. Cork jail, where a number of hung' er strikers are in a grave condition, regarded as extremely improbable equipped with machine guns. There is an exceptionally large garmon here. It is equipped for any eventualities, has a number of tanks and armored cars and is ready for instant service. Military forces are so afcrong that it is considered improbable that any attempt at violence will be made here. It is understood the Irish parliament had been making appeals to all elements of the population to refrain v from violence. This is also believed fa> be the policy of various influential leaders of the Sinn Fein movement. Whether such counsels will be followed-by the younger element or by Mnhprs of the Irish brotherhood, me of the most militant of Irish se-1 I cxet societies, remains to be seen.

COTNER, Di C k GEORGIA OPPOSED TO PEACE TREATY State Democratic Convention Condemns League of .Nations.?Denounce Clark Howell. I Macon, Ga., Oct. 26.?Declaring its unalterable opposition to the league of nations, and instructing Georgia's senators to vote against the Versailles pact, but besepeaking the country's support of the Democratic nominees for president and vice-president the Georgia state democratic convention today adopted a platform not far out of line with what political forecasters of the state had predicted. The platform, which represents a compromise between the ideas of Thomas E. Watson, nominee for the senate, and Thomas yf. Hardwick, gubernatorial nominee, was unanimously adopted without a single change being made in the original document as it was drawn and presented to the convention. The high lights in the document were its denunciation of the league of nations, its failure to mention Woodrow Wilson except incidentally, its failure to endorse his administration and its pointed intimation that the conventon would displace committeeman from Georgia had it legal authority. "We hereby declare our unalterable opposition to the league of nations brought back by President Wilson from Versailles," read the opening paragraph of the platform. In paragraph four, Georgia's senators are instructed to vote against the league in the following language: -"Whereas the people have thrice this year expressed their disapproval of the league of nations, we instruct our senators in congress to vote against Its adoption."' 'In referring to Clark Howell, national democratic committeeman from Georgia, the platform sets out: "We regret that our democratic national committeeman is holding the office to which the sovereign democratic convention of this state elected another distinguished Georgian and democrat; and while this convention is without legal remedy, we hereby1 condemn and denounce such interference with the choice of democracy of this state as being wholly'unjustifiable and undemocratic." Other features of the platform are i its demand for the repeal of all war time legislation, for the amendment ?f federal reserve banking laws so , that it will be impossible to diserimi- < 3 ate against the agricultural interests of the country in the matter of loans and its appeal for the support i >f Cox and Ryosevelt, seating out that peculiar conditions existing in. j Georgia make it expedient , that the i iemocratic nominees be elected. 1 ' i 1 i Raising the price of rooms when :t is learned that the guest is from America has become a habit of j French hotel keepers. i?
