\
People Refuse to Pay Debts
i and Court Decrees Often
‘Prove Worthless.
O’HIGGINS SEEKS PEACE
BY WILLIAM H. BKAVDKSi.
By fable to The Star and Chicago Daily Newa.
Copy right, 1923.
DUBLIN. January 24. —Ireland is
not only sick with armed strife, but
is suffering from wide-spread demor
alization and the dissolving of the
common sanctions of life. While the
irregulars are bombing troops and
wrecking trains, many normally de
cent people are refusing to pay their
debts. They are sued In the courts j
and decrees obtained against them,
but these decrees are often waste
paper and the sheriffs in many dis
tricts have sheaves of them which
they are unable to execute.
Putting down the rebellion is the
work of Gen. Mulcahy. The restora
tion of civil law Is the task of Home
Secretary Kevin O'Higgins, who has
given the correspondent an interview
as to his plans. Mr. O’Higgins is
well under thirty. He is a nephew
of Governor General Healy and
grandson of T. D. Sullivan, once fa
mous as the poet of the home rule
movement. He has shown remark
able ability and unflinching courage.
He is President Cosgrave's chief as
sistant in the government and would
lie capable of taking Cosgrave's
place if circumstances necessitated it.
Hence he is especially hated by the
enemies of the Free State and has to
live permanently in the shelter of
the government buildings.
O'Hlgglns Barks Sheriff*.
Secretary O’Higgins told the cor
respondent that it was his int-qtion
to enable all sheriffs to enforce tfvil
decrees. Everybody who can pay his
debts will be forced to pay. He is
giving each sheriff an armed guard
of fifty picked soldiers to protect him
in making seizure of the goods of
defaulters. Even when ac
complished have hUherro been fruit
less to extract money because in
many places the goods seized could
not find buyers.
Therefore, O'Higgins said he is
taking power to sell seized goods any
where, even outside of Free State
territory, and this obviously means
that seized cattle could be sold in
Liverpool or in Belfast. He believes
that extreme measures on a large
scale will not be necessary and that
once the defaulters are convinced by
effective demonstration that the gov
ernment is in earnest they will pay
up without further trouble.
New Police Unarmed.
Mr, O'Higgins expressed great satis
faction at the efficiency of twenty
six new magistrates he had appointed
for the local courts and said that
they were functioning with popular
Sympathy. He has great hopes of his
new police. The old constabulary was
a semi-military force fully equipped
with rifles and thereby obstructed in i
its civil duties. Hence he has sent
out the new police force entirely j
unarmed.
The correspondent asked him wheth- ,
er he thought it safe to expose thjese
men to the risk of armed attacks by I
Irregulars, asd he replied that the ir
regulars, he was convinced, would
prefer to see them armed. They would
be encouraged to attack them in the
hope of capturing the weapons, and
would try to justify their attacks as
acts of war* , . . . ■ . _
Drink Problem Serious. - •’
The police, according to O'Hlgglns,
are standing up courageously to all
intimidations They are mostly men
who proved their mettle In the fight j
against the English when many ir- |
regulars showed no fight. The prln- ;
cipal task of the police will be to i
check Illicit drink traffic. Not only I
are the licensing laws in many dis
tricts disregarded and drink sold at
prohibited hours, but the manufacture
of poteen (illicit whisky, paying no
tax) has become a flourishing Indus- I
try. O’Higgins attributed some of the
recent terrible outrages to frenzy
caused by this powerful drink. Four i
thousand police are enrolled. Most of
them are at work, with the rest in
training, and he expects that they will :
succeed in checking these evils.
Damage Grow* Apace.
Secretary O'Higgins., like other min
isters. receives many threatening let
ters and must be conscious of ex
treme risks, but he Ignores them and |
goes ahead. The correspondent ]
thought it significant that he had as 1
the sole picture In his room a me
mento mori in the shape of the last
portrait of his friend, Michael Col- I
lins. laid out in death. He would re- .
ply to no questions as to the suppres- |
sion of the rebellion. Ho said it was ■
a military matter, but within his own |
department he would do all possible!
to restore Ireland to normal condl- I
tions. f
But everybody here realizes that all i
betterment plans must fail unless this i
rebellion is stopped, and as yet there
is no prospect of a speedy end to the ;
conflict. Each week seems to bring
a heavier toll of damage than the last. ;

Better Than Calomel
Thousands Have Discovered
Dr. Edwards* Olive Tablets
Are a Harmless Substitute
Dr. Edwards’ Olive Tablets the
substitute for calomel—are a milg but
rare laxative, and their effect on the
liver is almost instantaneous. These
little olive-colored tablets are the re
sult of Dr. Edwards’ determination not
to treat liver and bowel complaints
with calomel.
The pleasant little tablets do the good
that calomel does, bnt have no bad
after effects. They don’t injure the
teeth like strong liquids or calomel.
They take hold of the trouble and
quickly correct it. Why cure the liver
at the expense of the teeth? Calomel
sometimes plays havoc with the gums.
So do strong liquids. It is best not to
take calomel Let Dr. Edwards’ Olive
Tablets take its place.
Headaches, “dullness’’ and that lazy
feeling come from constipation and a
disordered liver. Take Dr. Edwards’
Olive Tablets when you feel ‘‘logy’’ and
“heavy,” They “clear” clouded brain
and “perk up* the spirits. 15c and 30c.

TENNESSEE DAIRYMAN
MUST DIE FOR MURDER
Jehu W. Hudson, Sr., Hakes Inef
fectual Effort to Shoulder
Crime for Son.
By the Associated Pie**,
MEMPHIS, Tenn.. January 24—John
W. Hudson, Jr., dairyman, of White
Haven. Tenn,, today was under a death
sentence for the slaying of Mrs. Hattie
B. Ferguson last February, despite
the dramatic testimony of his father,
in which he assumed blame for the
woman's death. Toung Hudson re
ceived the sentence to electrocution
stoically, but bis father paled and
trembled.
The younger Hudson during the
trial repudiated a confession he was
alleged to have made upon his arrest
and testified in substantiation of the
statement of Hudson, senior, that the
young woman had been killed while
the three of them struggled for a
pistol she had placed In the older
man’s hand, with the request that he
shoot her and his son. Mrs. Fer
guson was killed In a woods, from
which young Hudson fled and was
arrested near Chattanooga.
Defense attorneys filed notice of an
appeal immediately after sentence
was passed- They indicated that the
confession alleged to have been made
by Hudson and introduced as evi
dence at the trial would be a chief
point of their attack.
In selection of the Jury Judge J.
Ed Richards held that counsel for
the state and the defense could in
terrogate veniremen only through
the court, and he held further that
having formed an opinion based on
what purported to be a copy of a
confession did not disqualify a
venireman for Jury service if the
venireman said he could and would
lay aside any opinion formed from
that source.
The defense interrogated only one
vorilreman through the court and
challenged him peremptorily, but
challenged every Juror for cause,'and
thus, they Indicated, placed the ques
tion of the qualifying of Jurors
through the court In the record for
review by the supreme court.
Mrs. Edward Kazansky, whoa# hus
band is a New Vork supreme court
Justice, believes that If more wives
had Interest in the business world
there would be fewer protests when
business keeps husbands out of the
home. Mrs. Kazansky knows whereof
'she speaks, since she is the proprietor
of a successful Interior decorating
establishment in New York city.
How
Cement
Industry
Anticipates
Your Needs
$40,000,000 represents the
valued the Portland cement
—finished and nearly fin
ished—which manufac
turers had in reserve storage
at their mills on April 30.
1922, in anticipation of
your summer needs. This
figure is based on the aver
age 1921 mill price reported
by U.S.Geological Survey
Carrying such stocks in ad
vance of actual demand
means:
Heavy financing. At most
cost item represent actual cash
outlay.
Taking chances on future de
mand.
, Large fixed investments in stor
age bins, amounting sometimes
to more than half a million dol
lars in even a medium-sized
plant—-for cement is a bulky
material and has to be kept dry.
As things turned out, last year was
a record one in the demand for
cement. Government figures
show 116,563,000 barrels were
shipped, yet that was less than 80
per cent of the industry's produc
ing capacity. And nearly 70 per
center 80,000,000 barrels cl this
total was called for by cement
users in the six-months’ period,
May to October inclusive.
This shows the seasonal nature of
demand lor cement. Most people
still believe that the “building
season** means six or seven months
• of the year instead of twelve. Last
year more thanl4,ooo,ooobarrels
of cement were shipped during
August and less than 3,000,000
barrels in January.
Cement being a basic building ma
terial is a prime mover—in ocher
words, the demand for cement
Immediately creates a demand lor
all tifber building materials. And
fins comes at a time when crop
and fuel movements are already
overtaxing the railroads.
In anticipating future demand and
in educational work to lengthen
the so-called building season, ce
ment manufacturers are always
trying to serve your best interests.

British Propose
Appeal for Page
Memorial Fund
By the Associated Press.
LONDON, January 24. —An appeal
for funds for a permanent memo*
rial to the late Walter Hines Page,
former American ambassador to
Great Britain, will be Issued with
in a few days ‘over the signatures
of Prime Minister Bonar Law, the
Earl of Balfour, Herbert H. As
quith, David Lloyd George and
Lord Grey—the British ministers
with whom the ambassador was
brought into closest contact. The
form the memorial Is to take will
be dependent upon the amount of
the contributions.
The appeal results from the ac
tivities of the committee appointed
recently after St. Loe Strachey
had proposed in the Spectator, of
which he Is editor, a memorial In
■Westminster Abbey to Mr. Page,
and Sydney Brooks, writing in the
Landmark, devoted to the Interests
of the English-speaking peoples,
had declared It was not creditable
to Great Britain that the splendid
services Mr. Page had rendered
during the war, through five years
of his ambassadorship, should
remain uncommemorated. Mr.
Strachey has received many letters
from all classes approving his
proposition. *
