A FLA (J OF BRITAIN IS BURNED
In Washington by Female Irish Sym
pathizers-Xo Arrest? Made.
Washington, .lune 2. - Women
sympathizers of freedom for I roland,
who yesterday invaded Congress and
addressed queries to members from
the Moor and galleries, to-day burned
a largo British flag In front of tho
Treasury Building.
Hearing standards with inscrip
tions directed against the British
government, seven of the women ap
peared before the treasury. One of
their number carried an oil-soaked
"Union .lack." which she flung on
the pavement and then applied a
match. As the flag vanished In flames
Miss Mary Keana, of New York, the
leader of the hand..kicked the smoul
dering ashes and shouted:
".lust another little Posion tea
party to remind the assassins not to
go too far."
No arrests were made, and the wo
men returned to their headquarters.
Investigate Burning of Flag.
Washington, .lune 3.-The State
Department to-day asked the District
of Columbia commissioners for a
statement of fact as to the burning
of a British flag yesterday In front
of the Treasury Building by women
sympathizers with Irish freedom.
The department acted on Its own
initiative, officials stated, no protest
against the action of the women
having been made hy the British
embassy.
No arrests were made when tho
flag was burned, and none has been
ordered as yet. The women have in
the past picketed the Treasury fre
quently, and their burning of tho
ffag passed almost unnoticed, as tho
pre .once of the banner-bearers at
the building had ceased to excite
public curiosity.
State Department officials would
not indicate what action will he tak
en after the report as to the facts
has been received.

Owners of the smaller cars can enjoy the
same high relative value in Goodyear Tires
that gives utmost satisfaction to owners of
big, costly motor carriages.
They can take advantage of that tremendous
amount of equipment, skill and care employed
by Goodyear to build tires of extraordinary
worth in the 30 x 3v 30 x 3,/2*> and 31 x 4
inch sizes?
They can secure these tires without waiting,
despite the enormous demand, because,
in addition to its larger sizes, Goodyear builds
an average of 20,000 a day in the world's
largest tire factory devoted to the three
sizes mentioned.
If you own a Ford, Chevrolet, Dort, Maxwell,

from A Working Tractor.
(Anderson Daily .Mail, 2d.)
Jack Henderson, the 11-year-old
son of R. D. Henderson, had his leg
badly cut on Monday afternoon hy a
harrow. Ho was riding on the rear
of a tractor and fell off, and tho har
row ran over his leg, indicting a deep
cut. A belt was placed tightly about
the limb to check tho dow of blood,
and tho boy was rushed to the An
derson County Hospital, where he re
ceived attention. He is doing well
at this time, but had a close call.
In this connection, lt. D. Hender
son asks all users of tractors not to
permit any one to ride on a harrow
drawn by a tractor. If moro weight
is needed, he says by all means put
a log or other heavy article on the
harrow. It is also very dangerous for
any one to ride on a tractor except
tho driver. The driver has something
to hold to, and on uneven ground any
ono riding on tho rear of the trac
tor is liable to be thrown off and in
Jured.
