Westmcath County Council has derided that all the court boojei in tire county shall be, closed and the government officials resident in them evicted. The Irish Volunteers have been or ilen?d to see that no judges are al? lowed to enter the buildings for the purpose of holding any courts not rec-. ognized by the bail Eireanr, or Re? publican parliament. Some councils have passed resolutions to raise con? tributions for the maintenance of the Republican army. At Claremorrls, county Mayo, the local council has adopted a resolution appealing to all Irishmen of military uge to undergo a course ot training in the Republican army, and will not give nn> position in the service of the council to men who have not* under? gone such training. In other places the local councils have decided to cut off the water supply from the police ami military barracks. .At lOnniscor thy. county Wexford. where this was done the authorities promptly hit back and the council was raided by police and soldiers. Meetings have just been held throughout Ireland for the purpose of selecting judges who are to preside over the Sinn Fein parish courts. These courts have jurisdiction' in all cYtses under 10 pounds in value, and it is intended that their judges shall eventually be elected by the votes of people In whose districts thep oper? ate. Pending the organization of elec? toral mai hlnery for the purpose they have Irecn selected by a conference composed of the members of the Dail Kireann for the constituency, the members of the County Council, one clergyman of each denomination from each parish, the memWers of theatrban and rural councils, one representative of each trade union bodyT The judges so selected are to act till December when there will bo a regular election i by ballot of the voters. At Limerick the police invaded a Sinn Fein court and seized the papers, but scores of courts are held every day and Interference If not attempted be? cause tlr ir time and place of meet? ing are usually kept secret except to tb,e parlies concerned. Tn some, places however, courts arc held as openly as the king's corts. Shortage of Cotton* Predicted Congressman Heffin Says Sur plttS is Being Depleted Rapidly Washington.
