EDITOR MITCHELL'S TRAVELS EDITOR MITCHELL'S TRAVELS THAT RICHMOND WIDOW We went up to where Dr. and Mrs. Jones were stopping. They were out and we landed up. Sons one called me across the street. I did not recognized who it was, but I went over there and found Mrs. Cora N. Green who married Louis Green of this city now deceased. She was living in a fine house that had been purchased by her 'new' husband. She 'new' Mrs. Jackson. Her sons, Dumina brothers are in the undertaking business. Dr. Jones and his Madurea lack to return to Philadelphia by brain and promised to be ready to greet us when we arrived there as she had arrived at 1 P. Mr. that day. ON THE FERRY BOAT We went downtown and made some purchases. Robinson soon learned the rules of traffic as they exist in New York and we had no trouble. Then we went to the ferry and after a long wait, we arrived in Jersey City at about 4 P. M. eady for our trip to the Southland. We did not have time to call on Dr. James R. Stroud as we passed through the city. We had decided to return by way of Red Bank and Asbury Park The roads were all right. I had expected to call on the editor of the Red Bank Echo. I had a copy of his paper in my pocket, but it was too late and so I hurried on, no doubt passing in front of his door without knowing it. BY THE SEA: SHORE It was about 6 a'clock when we arrived at Asbury Park having passed through Monmouth Beach, Sea Girt and other resorts. We also saw the Garfield statue and the place where Gen. U. S. Grant died. But we were looking for Dr. John H. Hayes and his Madame. Before finding them we went into a restaurant and had sup per for we were hungry. I made enquiries at a barbershop for Dr Hayes and was told that his office was on a corner just below. But the proprietor of the shop looked up and made himself known to me as he looked at my card. 'I thought I knew you,' he said. We talked over old times and then another customer walked in. DR. HAYES OFFICE He grinned my hand. "I have not seen you," he said since you went on or no hood and got me out of Crutch fields court. I had come from North Carolina and the pollenmen picked me up and put me in jail. Buck Snoutte good not you to help me." He looked thankful and said he was doing well I began to look at home. I went down and found Dr. Haves and then went to his cottage home, where his smile for Madame looked to me with gatement and be minded the belay at once to do me. We had intended to leave Adbury. Park that night. Mr. Haves soon came home and then as we were about to leave, the thirtie brace rod sloped out. As that was being fixed they inserted upon our reminding over night. THAT SPARE ROOM OCCUPIED She had a spare room that was kept quiet for her mother in Richmond. I lambishly told them that the back yard was good enough for us; we had both the tent and the cots and we were gobble to pitch tent and go to bed as soon as we got outside of the city. This settled it and so I told Robinson to leave the car in front of the house across the street, while its contents were transferred to the Hayes cottage. The bed room was occupied by me, and the other had the double cots placed in the spare room below. We had black ets and there was no inconvenience. I awoke early and by 6 o'clock the next morning we had breakfast and were ready for our departure. A (CLOGGED STRAINER We were told the route and were somewhat puzzled at first, but soon got our bearings and were enroute to Philadelphia. But the car was not steaming properly and Robinson was worried and 'there were others.' The cleaning of the rear strainer did not better conditions. The keroeone was not riding freely to the main manners and we were steadily losing steam. This meant no travel. Then he thought of the vanquerre strainer and I agreed with him that this was the cause of the trouble. Then came a down pour of rain and he had to get under the car to remove the trouble. His rain coat served a good purpose and when he completed the job and started off a feeling of rolf followed, the car was steaming fine. MAKING UP LOST TIME. He made up the lost time. We had reached Lakewood, where the countrymen and the townsmen gathered around that steam-car watching its movements with amazement. All of them had heard about the car, but none of them had seen one, closely. The more its workings were explained, the more they became interested. Then we started out, "Mr. Mitchell the water tank is leaking, this imitation from Robinson did not put me in the best of humor. When we stop pod again, he again reminded me of this trouble. He teared we would lose water too fast to make the run. He suggested the use of chewing gum to stop the leak. A LEAKING WATER TANK I ran through the bushes in a small country place and got the gum, but I thought of a cork stopper and finally found a piece of cook in the car and he remdied the trouble. We arrived to Philadelphia about noon and went directly to Dr. Jones residence and loaded up those things that we had left there. Then we started out at about 4 o'clock for Washington vtb1 Air. Robinson ran that car. We wear up and down mountains. He used the reverse pedal and there were no burning brake bands. When we stopped for water, interested gas car drivers gathered around for information concerning the steam car that had no ears to shift JOHN MUTCHELL, JR. --- Y. W. C. A.

The resolutions follow: Whereas, experience has proven that the aftermath of war is usually a period marked by lawlessness and crime. And whereas, the exercise of the military function in a State inevitably gives rise to a spirit of robbery against the normal activities of society, especially in the minds of the less intelligent population; whereas an attempt has been and is being made to revive an organization known as the Ku Klux Klan and whereas such a revival tends to excite racial animosities and to give reign to license in respect to such animosities and whereas the knowledge of the act types of this character quickly spreads far and near bringing disrepute and odium to the community or State where such activities are presen Now therefore be it received that the Richmond Advertising Club condemns activities lending toward a revival of the Ku Klux Klan or any other premeditated action on the part of the individuals or group of individuals which tends to exeize racial animosity and to bring the community or the State into disrepair. (Richmond, Va., Times-Dispatch—December 18, 1920.) IN MEMORIAM In memory of our dear mother, Katie Gates, who departed this life, two years ago, December 21,1918. Dear mother you have left us, Sad and sudden was the call Of one so dearly loved by all.

SOUTHERN CONGRESSMEN ARE IN CONSTITUTIONALLY ELECTED AND HAVE NO LEGAL RIGHT TO SEATS IN CONGRESS. (By Joseph C. Manning.) There is not a member of Congress from the states in the South, which have enacted laws abridging and deny our voting rights, who holds a seat in Congress through Constitutional right or title. There is absolutely no questioning the plain and indisputable declaration of the United States Constitution in its statement shall be reduced in the event of denial of the right to vote, and therefore those delegations that are in Congress in conflict with this declaration are there illegally. Laws have been in force for years in the Southern states that were enacted with the avowed purpose of disfranchisement and no one will dispute that there laws have effected that disfranchisement must. The continued reference of delegations in Congress in defiance of the provisions of the Constitution of the United States is almost a fact that is beyond comprehension. Congress calls upon the country to uphold the laws, through making laws to govern, and yet does not if self uphold plain provisions of the Federal Constitution. Member of Congress are sworn to uphold the Constitution of the United States and they ought so to do or else reason. Public sentiment ought to compel that the constitution be either upheld or else such section as can not be upheld ought to be repealed. Precisely as I have been doing for the post several years, I am敢叫 attention to this pravesty on constitutional government being perpared in the Southern states by the Southern Gligarehy and I trust that the liberty loving people of the nation will see to it that Congress, the incoming Congress meets this issue. --- W C A OFFICIALS ARE ACMNIS KU KLEN KLAN --- The members of the South Atlantic Field Committee of the National Young Women's Christian Association are mostly protected against the organization calling itself the Ku Klux Klan which is being trumpeted in the Southern States. This action was taken at the regular monthly meeting held at the Field Headquarters 1109 Virginia Highway and Power Blvd. The sentiment of the Committee was expressed in the following resolution: "The South Atlantic Field Committee of the Young Women's Christian Association in executive session, December 9, 1929 having had called to its attention the unwise activities of an organization calling itself the Ku Klux Klan passed the following resolution: So it is resolved that at a time in the history of our nation when mutual understanding and cooperation on the part of all loyal and Christian citizens are called for, we deeply deplore the organizing of a movement calculated in our judgment, to create friction and unrest and a lack of respect and confidence in the duly established force of law and order. This committee of which Miss Kathrine Heath Hawes is the Chairman is an advisory of the National Board of the Young Women's Christian Association with jurisdiction over Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina Georgia and Florida." GOLDEN WEDDING Mr. and Mrs. James T. HBU, will celebrate their Piftth Anniversary December 27, 1920 from 8:30 to 11:30 P. M. at their residence 1212 E. 29th Street, Newport News, Va. All friends are most cordially invited. PRICE, FIVE CENTS ALL!! ```markdown ``` CALIFORNIA WORK HANGS THREE WHITE PRISONERS. Santa Rosa, Cal., Dec. 10—George Boyd, Terence Fitts and Charles Valento, accused of having murdered Sheriff James A., Petray of Scotoma County, and Detectives Miles Jackson and Lester M. Dorman here Sunday afternoon last, were taken from the county jail here early this morning and hanged. At 12:30 o'clock this morning a mob of about 100 men all wearing black macks, entered the jail, overpowered the officers there, took their keys and removed the prisoners to writing automobiles. Not more than five minutes was required by the mob to enter the jail, overpower the officers and remove the prisoners. Within fifteen minutes the three alleged gangsters and murderers had been lynched. For another fifteen minutes while the bodies dangled from the oak tree in the glare of the automobile head lights, the mob waited at the scene to make certain their grim task was completed. Then its members departed leaving the bodies swinging in the darkness. MEN WERE EX-CONVCTS . The three men were ex-convict. Boyd having served two terms, Fitts three and Valente one Boyd and Valente had been identified last Mon day by three young women as members of the gang which attacked them at a house in Howard Street in one of the more densely settled sections in San Francisco. Two attempts to ake the men from jail were made last Sunday right a few hours after they had been arrested. One was broken up by officers and the other failed when Mrs. Petray, widow of the shin sheriff berged friends not to countenance mob violence. Last Sunday when the three men were arrested, a mob of hundreds surrounded the jail and attempted to secure the prisoners. The actions of the mob indicated plans had been laid beforehand. The members of the mob moved to the jail without ostentation. A cordon was thrown about the structure of granite, concrete and steel. There was no confusion, no hurry and no opposition. Eigen the moose were tied with the expert hammers' knot. All had been prearranged, even to acetylene torches to burn the locks off the coll doors if need be. The oak tree had been selected earlier. Over one inch hung three ropes and at the end of each was a noose, tied with the hangman's knot that lies behind the left ear. Bowl went along without struggle. He made no comment. Valentino expostulated, but not vehemently. Fits fought to escape his fate. They gagged him with a powel. He drizzled down as the silent executioners hung the men to limbs of the old oak. Within half an hour from the time they went to the jail the executioners had disposed. expressed.

Rosecoe Conkling Simmons, President of Lincoln League and Marcus Garvey President of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League, the former the editor of the St. Louis Glorion and the latter the editor of the New York Negro World have been having vitriolic discussions over the Black Star Line. Mr. Simmons calls Mr. Garvey the "mad Mosos." In retaliation, Mr. Garvey proceeds to write a brief biography of Mr. Simmons and permits Secretary General Jas. D. Brooks to occupy over two and a half columns of a recent issue of the Negro World in replying to the attack. We do not know much as to the merits of the controversy. We do know that Mr. Garvoy in his attempt to build up a line of commercial communication between this country and the Old World with colored people in absolute control is on the right road and he and his associates do not appear to be going the wrong way. If they are going the wrong way, we hope that some friendly steps will be taken to start them again the right way. If the leaders are crooks, they should have no sympathy. If they are honest men and mean right, they should have our support. We hope some day to find time to study the "ins and outs" of this remarkable venture in order that we may give an intelligent opinion as to its merits or demerits. Until that time we shall suspend judgment, giving the present management the bene fit of the doubt. Let us have pence. A FEARLESS SUPREME COURT. The Supreme Court of Arkansas has handed down a most remarkable decision in the cases of six Elamite county rioters condemned to death as a result of the disorders in 1919. The National Association for the Advancement of colored people has been active in this matter, employing counsel and arousing an interest throughout the country. The following is an interesting announcement: The Supreme Court of Arkansas in reversing the decision of the lower court held: 1. That the discrimination against the colored man, because Negroes were barred from the grand and petit juries trying them, was in violation of the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution and of the Civil Rights act of 1875. 2. That the lower courts had acted in refusing to hear evidence on a motion to set aside the regular panel of the jury. The day is breaking for the colored people in the South-land and the indications are that the rights and privileges of our people will be as zealously protected in the Southland as they have been in any other part of the country. DEFENDING A CLIENT. The following extract from the columns of the Richmond, Va., News-Leader discloses a very peculiar condition of affairs in which a white and a colored attorney figured: Empanelling of a jury on the case of W. H. Coleman colored, charged with attempted criminal assault was completed this morning in husting court. Taking of testimony was then begun. W. F. Denny colored attorney representing the prisoner moved yesterday before the work of empanelling a jury was started to have the indictment quashed on the ground that no one of African descent served on the grand jury. He also protested against selecting a petty jury from a list composed entirely of white men. Judge Richardson overruled his motions. Not relishing the line of objections raised by Denny, Percy S. Smith white attorney who had been appointed by Judge Richardson to defend Coleman before the colored attorney became as sociated with him withdraw from the case. Attorney Benjamin Lovonstein asisting the prosecution also withdrew when it developed that he had do fended Coleman in a case which the Negro was charged with threatening a witness in the assault case. Mr. Lov enstein talked the matter over with Judge Richardson and the two agreed that it would be best for him to with draw. Coleman is alleged to have attempted the assault on a white woman while pretending to be healing her of a serious affliction after her doctors had given up the case as a hopeless one. Trial of the case will probably last a day or two. The interweaving part of the whole affair is that the allied colored rioters, six in number condemned to death in Arkansas had the lower court reversed, basing the reversal upon the very points raised by Attorney W. F. Denny. As it was his duty to do all in his power for his client, it seems to us that the withdrawal of his associate counsel is in the nature of a puzzle. A colored man, charged with criminal assault or attempted criminal assault in this or any other State of the Southland as a rule stands about as much chance as "a boh-tailed mule in fly time." The case of Henry Hart of Staunton is a case in point. The news columns report that he was charged with attempted criminal assault. A white jury could not see it in that light and disagreed, although a mob on the outside threatened to lynch the prisoner. Another white jury was empanched and Hart was convicted in twenty minutes and had to be removed from Staunton with troops guarding him. He is now in the Henrico county jail in this city, the victim of mob-law, although he has not been lynched. We have no sympathy with any colored man, who is intimate with a white woman and we advise our men and boys to look in another direction when they pass them for some of these white men have gone stark crazy about white women. They are almost as bad as some of these white men are about our women. Still, when men are not guilty of improper conduct, they should not be convicted and to execute them up on frivolous charges and upon the demands of lawless mobs is neither more nor less than murder. Colored men, we have all colors amongst our good-looking women. There is no need of going on the outside, where you have but one selection. "Shin on your own side" and let the white men do the same thing. Read The Planet for information concerning the world's "doings" and watch our advertisements. May hap you will see the very thing you we been looking for. BLUE TRIANGLE NOTES The Dedication Service of the Phyllis Wheatley Branch took place last Thursday at 8 o'clock.

NEGROES MAKE SO MUCH THEY REFUSE TO WORK. Great Scarcity of Labor in Consequence—Anti-Salooners Are Swamped. New Berne, N. C., Dec. — When the State Prohibitionists were in Radcliffe recently cogitating upon the liquor situation and petitioning the General Assembly to make the State laws conform to the Federal laws; urging the Senators and Representatives in Congress to permit no weakening of the Volstead act, and finally choosing the Rev. R. L. Davis for Superintendent of the State Anti-Saloon League for the ensuing year, the dry visitors did not intimate what a job lies ahead of them. It is admitted by universal agreement that the liquor situation has reached its worst in North CaroXna. The Federal agencies are swamped and the blockaders are out generalizing the forces sent against them. There is no complaint that the external revenue officers are derect in their duties. It is merely that blockaders have multiplied both in cleverness and in numbers too rapidy for control. In seven months of the present year the raiding officers have captured 1,285 stills, arrested 800 men and collected fines and taxes amounting in round figures to $650,000. In addition they have put enough prisoners in the Federal Penitentiary at Atlanta, Ga., to run the total of sentences up to 500 years. There was a wide destruction of illicit distilling property, and all in all the raiders name a most impeding sortie. But while this was going on two stockaders were springing up where only one had grown before and the Federal Government is admittedly unable to cope with the situation. LOOKS DARK FCR DRYS Moreover, the State will have more of this sort of situation to contend with in the future than in the past. The Washington Government has heard about all the knocks it can all sorb. It has been hearing that it was taking all the States' rights away from the States, but here is one that the Government, officials would be mighty willing to restore. They would like to turn over to the States the entire control of the booze bus loss. But the States are not seeming ly anxious to assume this precognitive Meanwhile the Federal authorities can not keep up with the blockaders and the States have not struck a stride that is getting them anywhere. The vastness of the enterprise is attributable to the prices paid for liquor. Under the modern system of distilling, liquor is quickly made and sold at enormous prices. It can be disposed of easily at $24 a gallon wholesale and at $10 a quart retail. Under the present processes the distilled) need not stay long at one place, but can move back with their easily conveyed machinery, make a run, sell out and go on to another site. This makes detection difficult. And a class of makers and sellers that the officers have never met before has grown out of this business. The type of blockaders is something new. Oftentimes these fellow are sprung from families of prominence. The lure of easy money has caught them. It is even said that men high up in social circles are at the head of the traffic within proscribed territory. Every town and hamlet has its liquor runner. A Negro can boot leg enough monkey rum in a night to keep him in food for a week. Where fore he will not work, and the labor situation is affected to that extent. Conditions in the States are admitted by much worse than they have been since State and National Prohibition went into effect. PLEA TO LEGISLATURE The Anti-Saloon League people have not arranged their plans for next winter, but they will ask the Legislature which meets in January to make ample provisions for policing the State. The Federal Government has shown how to make the system under which the Nation prosecutes blockaders pay—but it has not been equal to the job of controlling the outlaws of whom there are any number scattered over every section of the State. That the moonshiners are prepared for drastic action is evidenced in the recent raid in Craven County where the officers discovered by the merest chance that the still had been mined with the intent and purpose of blowing the raiders into Abraham's bosom. While working around the plant an officer cuttled his foot in a 'conceal ed wire which upon investigation was found to be connected with the bottom of the still. Continuing the investigation it was discovered that the still was surrounded with a circle of dynamite each stick being equipped with a percussion cap attached to a wire leading to the bottom of the still. When the still was lifted from its base the percussion cap would be ignited and the whole business, including the raiders blown to smith ercens. it is the purpose of the Anti-Saloon League to present a bill to the Legislature in January which would give the State a Prohibition Commissioner with a working force sufficient arouse the public conscience. The academs now have the situation so in hand that the system of lodge heretofore used is entirely important. The dry folk are desperly up against it. They have until an element of lawlessness which about to make the situation worse it it was before the Nation went dry. The league will meet durc the session of the General Asom- bly. By holding the contention during a legislative year it is hoped to get the members of the Assembly to attend in a body. HOW NEGRO ACTOR GOT HIS CHANCE IN EMPEROR JONES. Until the Provincetown Players decided to produce Eugene O'Neill's "The Emperor Jones" with a Negro actor, Charles S. Glipin, in the title role, the Negro had little or no opportunity to prove that he had dramatic possibilities and that he was more than a gift of song and dance entertainer. But the thoroughly moving performance which Glipin has given at their theater down in Macdougal Street has justified the belief of the Provincetown Players that the Negro had dramatic possibilities and also led to insistent queries concerning Glipin himself and his training for the stage. No man who has not had a wide schooling in the theater could play a role which requires as much as does the Emperor Jones," and Glipin has had that schooling interspersed with efforts to earn a living at whatever offered when acting did not prove a financial success. "It wasn't all velvet," said Gilpin in the clubroom above the ground floor theater. My own people thought my stuff was "too highbrow" and when white people wanted an actor they hired a white man. Yes, it was an uphill fight, but I had the stuff and when th opportunity came I was able to take advantage of it." Gilpin was born in Richmond, Va. and attended a Roman Catholic school where one of the sisters be came interested in his development and gave him instruction in locution. He showed indications of dramatic and musical ability as a youngster but there was no opportunity for him to continue his work after he left school so he became a printer on The Richmond Planet. From Richmond he went to Philadelphia. His first station in the city of Penn was a job in a printing office. Then he took charge of the printing office of a little Negro newspaper called The Standard Echo. From the time he left school, although he was working as a printer, Gilpin thought of little but acting, some day to do do real work on the stage. He danced and sang at entertainments played in vaudeville and took part in strolling ministrel shows which would disband without much formality. When there was nothing to do on the stage, he went back to his trade as a printer. On account of his color he was never able to make a living wage on the stage and he was depressed and discouraged. He left the printing business and became a barber's porter, which paid more money. He also worker as a railroad porter taking part in variety shows at every opportunity. In the late '90s Gulpin joined the Perkus and Davis Great Southern Minstrel Barnstorming Agrecongation, but when he discovered that there was no intention of paying any one after the first big night's business he returned to Philadelphia and decided to retire from the show business. But although I had never had any irreversible urge for the stage, I felt myself going back to it and I never wandered a hundred miles out of Philadelphia because of opportunities to play at entertainments in churches and music halls. In 1913 I joined the Canadian Jubilee Singers of Hamilton Out... and with them I had one of the gigantes experiences of my life. Int 1905 I played with the Williams and Walker Company. We had twelve long weeks of rehearsal in New York and then the show failed to go out. It finally got out in the spring at I... we played the biggest three weeks that had ever been played at Hammerstein's Victoria. I had my first real opportunity with the Peking Players in Chicago. We gave everything, from vaudeville to grand opera with real African atmosphere. The Peking Players co-created of a company of about thirty-five办办ity. Eleven of the company (I was among them.) were selected for dramatic productions, which were given on alternate Friday afterwards. That is how I got my experience of real acting. Everything was attempted, from serious drama to farce, and I had a chance to develop. After the death of Robert Mott, manager of the Peking Players and the pioneer of Negro players, I went back to vaudeville, touring the South. During the war Gilpin worked as a Pullman porter. He seemed unable to Pullman porter. He seemed unable to attract the attention of any of the New York managers and played occasionally in New Jersey and elsewhere. His last stage appearance before coming to the Provinceetown Players was in Drinkwater's "Abraham Lincoln," in which he was the faithful sage. Gilpin does not expect to get through with "The Emperor Jones" for a long time. The Provinceetown Players are making arrangements for the continuance of his performances at special matines at an uptown theater and then Gilpin hopes to take the play on tour. I take my characters out of the street and study them, Gilpin says, and I have seen "The Emperor Jones. I have watched his braggadocio and I have seen him delirious with fear. I play him as he really is, in life, with very little exaggeration. $150.00 ENDOWMENT PAID Richmond, Va., Aug. 23, 1920.

Dear Sir,—A grateful heart and an appreciation of your medical skill prompts me to make a statement of my daughter's case. I can truthfully say I believe your medicine saved my daughter's life. When she began your medicine she had been given up by several doctors, and my friends and lost all hope of her recovery. She had suffered seven months with drop-seal trouble and Bright's disease, her body swelling to an enormous size, totally blind for several days at a time, also delirious at her worst stages, finally going into spasms, as many as twenty-five or thirty in one day, going from one right into another, her skin peeled off, also losing her finger nails, and continuing in that condition for months. Such was her condition when I commenced on Mr. L. J. Hayden's remedies. After using his medicines only nine days she began to improve, and now at the end of two months there is no symptom nor sign of the old disease. Be assured that whenever I have it in my power I shall recommend I your invaluable remedies. I thank you a thousand times for what you have done for my daughter and for the kindness which you have extended to me throughout. Wishing you long and continued.

For the past fortnight, along the principal streets, house have continued to disappear here and there, and the inhabitants of the city have become so terrified that few venture up on the streets at night. Afraid also to remain in their own houses thousands have taken to living in the suburbs, owing to the terrorism going on after nightfall. Least night the outrages culminated in the practical destruction of the whole business part of the city, when 139 houses and large shops went up in flames. The City Hall where two previous attempts at incendiarism had failed is now destroyed as is the Carnegie Library. The quayside is also ruined by fire. The whole center of Cork has practically disappeared. The excitement and panic throughout the city all night and all day today are indescribable, newspaper men who witnessed many of the fires agreeing that the city has passed through one of the most terrible ordeals in history.

When residents of the city were hurrying home to escape the 10 o'clock curfew, the 'Black and Tans' appeared on the streets and immediate began to attack pedestrians. The people were boxed with butts of rifles and they fled panic-streken. Calls were sent for city ambulances, and the injured were sent to hospitals in such large numbers that the ambulances were unable to cope with the situation and many men had to be left lying in the street. The electric light, the gas and power stations were ordered to cease working and the whole city was plunged into darkness until it was lit up by the frightful confaguration when the orgy of property destruction began. Grant's large dry-goods store, em ploying hundreds, was set alight, owing to the repeated attacks that had been made upon the fire brigades when they had attempted to extinguish such outbreaks. The firemen did not dare to venture into the streets and the flames were allowed to consume building after building. BIG JEWELRY STORE LOOTED. Further down on Patrick Street, Corks principal thoroughfare, Egan's jewelry store, the largest in South Ireland was broken into and all kinds of valuable gems removed. Shops alongside were fired, the raiders sprinkling petrol. The flamms spread with alarming rapidity, mouse after house igniting and soon the whole block was involved, including the largest Irish dry goods house outside of Dublin. The flames from there ignited the next block, every building burning down in both blocks and as a result the entire heart of the city was laid in ruins. It is feared that many people were burned to death, although no effort has yet been made to ascertain the total number of victims. The people in the vicinity rushed into the streets in their night attire, but it is considered fortunate that not a large number of people resided in the area. Newspaper correspondents from many parts of the world, as well as Irish newspaper representatives, viewed the destruction of the hundreds of buildings, and a fear has sprung up that some of their number were boated on to death. It is learned tonight that high explosives were also used if the work of destruction in Patrick Street. FIND SIGNS OF EXPLOSIVES In Patrick Street the fronts of 3 blocks were reduced to ruins. Those who have viewed the ruins of Grant's drapery store declare that it was evidently blown up with explosives. THREE ARE DEAD IN CORK SAYS DUBLIN REPORT. Dublin, Dec. 12—The Central portion o the city of Cork has been burned to the ground and other portions of the city are ablaze. The configuration followed an ambush of the Military at Pillons Cross Saturday night, in which four persons were killed and many wounded. Three civilians were taken from their houses and shot dead after the ambush of the military. Then the fires started. There were bomb explosions and firing also was heard. The populace is panic stricken. The Municipal Building, the Carnegie Library and the Corn Exchange, which cover a large area, have been consumed by the flames, which are so hot at places that passing tram cars have been set on fire. A proclamation declaring that 'the public must of once need that Ireland is in a state of war with forces of the British crown' has been issued over the signature of the officer commanding troops of the Irish republican army at County Monaghan.
