Great Throng Hear Irish President In tho Los Angeles Ball Park. NOTORIOUS SHEET EXTOSED. Eamon DoValora, President of tho Irish Republic, went through quite a strenuous experience at Los An geles, being denied a hearing on his first appearance thoro on November 19, the owners of the hall canceling his date at the last moment, tho lecture being postponed with 10,000 people In tho streotB awaiting ad mission into the hall. Attorney Joseph Scott, who servod nbrond as Knights of Columbus Secretary, was Chairman of tho Committee of Ar rangements and he announced a postponement of tho lecture until tho following Sunday In the Wash ington ball park. The Los Angeles Times, noted tho world over as a bitter opponent of union labor and an ardent exponent 01 ovorytning English, then led a movement to boycott tho DoValera lecture and by threats and intimidation tried to bluff the people of that part of Cal ifornia Into not attending or having anything to do with tho Irish Presi dent's appearance. Much stress was laid on the fact that a little colony of British and Canadian soldiers and tailors of Irish birth and parentage were acting as escort for DeValera, some of whom had won medals of honor and decorations for service overseas. Hearst's paper, tho Los Angeles Examiner, mado a special tight in favor of a fair hearing and tho other papers of that district wero friendly to tho lecture. Do Valora. made his appearance in tho ball park the following Sunday to an audience of over 15,000 people, and specially constructed electrical devices were erected which carried his voice to all parts of tho largo gathering. Tho Los Angeles Times had attempted to Inject religious bigotry into tho case and President DeValera paid especial attention to thtr'reHglous'pbase-'-.of'-JtbB - Irish question In his speech. Ho said: "It is not racial, it Is not religious. You are told that It Is religious. Now it Is very easy to see that it is not, and so difficult would it bo to prove it religious that oven tho Los Angeles Times now admits that It is not a religious question." That eleven Presbyterian ministers and six Catholic priests had been hanged In Ireland because of, their espousal of the cause of Irish freedom also was DeValera's statement in refuta tion of alleged British propaganda horo. It Is sufficient to tako tho history of that movement and to note that its father, Wolfe Tone, was a Protestant; that all his comrades at tho time were Protestants; that William Orr Russell and McCracken and the others from tho North wero Protestants; that Lord Fitzgerald was a Protestant; that Robert Em met was a Protestant; coming down later; that John Mitchell was a Protestant; that Thomas Davis was a Protestant; that Butt was a Protestant; that Parnell was a Protestant; and that long rango of Protestant leaders to what is said to be a Catholic party Is sufficient proof that tho basis of tho division Is not religious, becauso, as I said. It would bo absurd to think that a religious party would cliooso as Its leaders thoso holding the religion of tho men whom they wero fighting 'against. (Great applause.) , At all times thoro havo been a number of Protestants on tho side of Irish Independence, and as I havo shown you, tho greatest of Irish patriots who have fought for independence havo beon Protestants. For this republican movement at tho start, no less than ten Presbyterian ministers wero hung; six priests wero also hanged, and that shows that In this movement for independ ence for Ireland wo havo Protes tants, Catholics and Presbyterians, and today in our party we have two Protestants representing Catholic districts in Ireland and we have one Catholic representling a Protestant district, in Ireland. When Ernest Bly and Barton wero up for election the question was not asked them, "What religion' do you belong to?" but "What do you stand for politi cally?" (Applause.) The causo they stood for politi cally was for Irish independence and for the Irish Republic, and they wero elected by those who differed from them in religious faith; and so, too, when Dennis Henry was up for election in the North, though he was a Catholic, it was not asked of him whether he was a Catholic or not. What was asked him was. "What do you stand for politically?" and because he stood politically for union with England he was elected by the union constituency and snt to the English Parliament. There fore It is no wonder that even the Lo Angelas Times can not say that It is a religious movement and has had to admit that it Is a political one. (Aspjause.) Why then should i -WKT-esfstonce of the political minor ity in Ireland prevent the" Irish peo ple from choosing their own form of government? You know that even if th whole of the people of Ireland were' today unanimous, you know perfectly well that England would not give up Ireland If she Wtd hold It. (Applause) You fcaftw tt' ll Is not tor the need of tM Irish yeele or.out of leve for tho Irish people that England holds Ireland, and just as centuries boforo there was a Protestant in the world, jcenturlos boforo Martin Luthor nail ed up his theses, Catholic Ireland unanimously of the same religion, was fighting agaihst Catholic Eng land. Sd today, if tho wholo of Ire land were to bo Unanimous" oil tho question of independence, and, bo matter what she might profess now, England" would not, and you know sho would not, bo wiling to glvo to the Irish people that which tho Irish people want. (Applause.) j J ilia iiiiiuuubiiuu uj uu ujjju- nents of tho question of religion la an attempt to prdvent tho judges on this question, the rair-mlnded, libqrty-loving people, not merely of Amorlca, but of the wholo world, from deciding in nccordanco with tho principles of Justice. It is an attempt to bring In religious predi lections and religious questions Into a Judgment which ought to bo pro nounced on the facts as they aro, politically, and ought to bo pro nounced in nccordanco with tho principles of justice. (Applause.) Riding with President DeValera In tho automobllo which brought him to 'Washington Purk was Sorgt. Christopher William Keano, Baid to bo one of America's most frequently decorated war heroes and who lost a leg on tho battle lines In France. Keane, now a student at tho Uni versity of Southern California, won tho Croix do Guerre, tho American Distinguished Service Cross, a deco ration for bravery conferred upon him personally by King Georgo of England, and the U. S. Congression al medal for bravery. Also In tho automobile wero Chairman Joseph Scott, Lleuts. Leo Dazo and John Fox and Private Marcus Roberts, all of whom won commendation for their bravery under flre in France Seated in the grand stand with the Irish President as ho Bpoko also was former Lieut. Rone Llnguard, who saw four years of active service with French troops in Franco and Belgium. Among others In the speakers' stand wero Eddie Maler and John Powers, of- tho Los An geles Tbaseball club, who received three cheers and a "tiger" fromtho 15,000 people present for refusing Insistent demands that tho prlvllcgo of speaking in the park bo donied to DoValora. Attorney Joseph Scott, who in troduced DoValera, said: "I congratulato you, men and wo men, freo citizens of a free repub lic, for showing by your presence here what you think of tho Journal istic anarchist at First and Broad way. They told you nnd me, through the columns of that paper that they publish, that Los Angeles would present a long attenuated icicle to tho President of tho Irish Republic, and hero It is, thanks bo to God. It also said that it hoped somebody would turn tho hose on President DeValera. I want to tell tho editors-in-chief and tho man agers and editorial writers of- tho Los Angeles Times that if all tho hoso in tho fire department of Los Angeles wero turned on that but tressed fortress at First and Broad way it would still smell to high heaven. In the language of ono of these distinguished visitors, tho Los Angeles Times Is tho most capable liar we have anywhere in Califor nia. It Is about time that you busi ness men watch tho columns of that paper pretty closely. I don't care much whether It is subsidized from London or Tokyo. (Applauso.) But I say this, you taxpayer if you watch it closely, the next thing you will seo them slipping to you is that wo will please forgot tho Indebted ness that the British Government owes us, and you and I can put our hands into our American pockets and pay tho taxes upon the money wo havo lent to England, because wo should liquldato that indebted ness." (Applauso and cries of "Never!") INTO ETERNAL REST. Ferdinand Ochs, ninety years, ono of Louisvlllo's oldest and most high ly esteemed citizens, died at tho home of his daughter, Mrs. D. J. Sullivan, 1923 West Broadway, ear ly Wednesday morning. Mr. Ochs, who formerly was a tanner, camo to this country from Germany and had lived in Louisville for seventy years. He was a civil war voteran and always for tho advancement of Louisville. Besides Mrs. Sullivan he is survived by another daughter, Mrs. Alice Cutshaw; flvo grandchil dren and four great-grandchildren. His funeral took place from Sacrod Heart church, Rov.

Beebo havo been appointed a board to meet In Washington for tho purpose of studying matters rel ative to chaplains and moral train ing In the army. Of the flvo mem bers of this very important board two aro of tho Catholic faith, this bolng very nearly the quota of tho strength of the Catholic enlisted men in tho army. The priests on tho board aro Father James F. Houlihan and Father Ignatius Fealy. Chaplain Houlihan is a native of Pennsylvania and was appointed a chaplain, with the rank of First Lieutenant, from that State in 1910 In 1917 he was promoted to the rank of Captain. Fathor Fealy, the other Catholic member, is a native of Missouri, and was born July 31, 1878. After his ordination lie serv ed as an assistant priest at St, Jos eph church" Washington.

Both Father Houlihan and Father Fealy are known as J'llve wires" In the service when It comes to matters of faith and morale. Both are "good mix ers" among the men, universally popular, and the interests of the church and the men will bo well looked out for during the sessions of this important board, which Is destined to accomplish so mueh goeL a HAT Near Mayor of producing a "low tax'rate," btat or higher assessments." ULSTERMAN Discusses Ireland's Part In Making nnd Upholding the United States. Dr. William B. Dohcrty Spokesman For Erin at Americanization Luncheon. Makes Vlgotous and Pointed Cor rection of Courier-Journal's - .-Report- ', - THERE ARE TORIES HERE YET. : Tho following communication from Dr. William B. Dbherty, which neods no explanation, will interest our many readers: In tho Courier-Journal of the 26th Inst. I was quoted as having talked at tho Americanization lunch eon "for an Americanization pro grammo and that it be made a part of the laws." That Is not so. Tho following is what I did say: When I was Invited to attend this luncheon and present an Irishman's viewpoint of Americanization I first declined In view of tho fact that as a guest I should say something pleasant, but I was told to speak plainly as I saw fit, for such was tho object of tho meeting. I was born and reared in Ulster, Ireland, and thorefore I -am an Ulsterlto, but not of that typo which you know through tho nowspapors, for I am for freedom for Ireland and there fore opposed to a monarchical form of government. To speak of tho Americanization of tho Irish 1b a good deal like carrying coals to New castle, for tho great majority of the Irish have tho lnnato American spirit for freedom before they leave Ireland. Next to Moore's melodies and songs portraying tho freedom of Ireland, American songs aro tho most popular with tho youth, such as tho "Green Fields of America," and "To tho West, to tho West, to the land of tho free. Where the mighty Missouri rolls down to the soa; Where a man Is a man If ho Is will ing to toil, And tho youngest can gather tho fruits of tho soil." Tho principles of Bolshevism, so cialism and anarchy are as foreign and abhorrent to tho Irish heart and mind as polygamy and Mohamme danism. Ono of the happiest days of my life was whon I became an American citizen, thereby renounc ing all allegiance to Queen Victoria. Only four of the nine counties of Ulster have voted for union -with England, the remaining twenty- olght in Ireland for a republican form of government. Tho name Scotch-Irlrsh sometimes appears Jn our newspapers. There is no such hybrid or animal in Ireland as a Scotch Irishman, or English or Welsh Irishman. Those born there aro Irishmen as these born here are Kentuckians, Tho Scotch-Irish can say, "We Join in Jubilation for the thing that we afte not. For" we sav we are not Irish, and God knows we are not Scotch." No race gave more in blood, brain and brawn to uphold our republican form of government whenever and wherever assailed, than did the ;.

What human being ever heard Anything good of Georgo tho Third? When George tho Fourth to hell de scended, Thank God, tho roign of tho Georges ended." Without dcslrablo immigration wo would soon deteriorate and become decadent. Tho people in thoso States with a large Influx of Immigrants among them nro more thrifty and less Illiterate we say it with shame that tho United States census of 1 S70 shows that tho number of for eigners in the eastern portion of our State was almost a negligible quan tity. Tho peoplo have lived horo lor nearly 100 yoars, and moonlight bchools havo been established to leach many of thqm now to read and write. Put immigrants in the molting pot, but let tho pot melt properly so that its fragrauco may spread throughout our land, pro ducing patriotic assimilation, anni hilating Bolshevism and Socialism as well as German and English Toryism.

Tho Louisville Herald would have us believe that tho inauguration of Gov.-eloct Morrow next Tuesday will bo one great big Joyous ovent In tho ranks of tho Kentucky Republicans, and all of the followers, high and low, wore Just bubbling over with joy in preparing for tho celebration. Sorry to say, stories aro leaking out which give ono tho Impression that there is llablo to be an old-fashioned knock-down nnd drag out boforo "Howdy Ed" takes his seat. Tho first rift In the lute was when the Republicans out in tho Stato put in their bid for somo political pio and found out that Tobo Hort and dies Searcy, our local Republican bosses, had full charge of tho plo counter and they had a big list of hungry applicants right hero In Louisvlllo. This has made tho G. O.

Whon It came to arranging for a spec'al train to go to- tho Inauguration the negro Republicans wore not pro vided for and when thoy raised a howl thoy woro told thoy would havo to go along In a "Jim Crow" coach, nnd If nnj thing is to bo given out at Frankfort Tuesday they must rcpoit at tho back door with their lint in their hand. As one colored man remarked: "I guess they won't bo mithln' doin' evcept fer dem snmh't niggahs like Phil Brown, who lias n half voto on n kummltty and gives that voto to Massa Tobo Hcrt." Tho local gatherings for tho Inau guration havo displayed much Jock eying for position and strength in future contests for Republican nom inations. Of course Congressman Ogden will be renominated next year and can address Louisvlllo au diences on "How wo lost Camp Taylor." The following year is tho one that is causing all of tho trou ble. To begin with, the friends of Sheriff Ross and Councilman Felix Dumas are hoostllng their favorlto for Mayor, both being popular and either would make a stronger Mayor than Smith. Wood Axton forgot his bitter quarrel and sur rendered to dies Searcy In tho last campaign and may want to grab the nomination, but it looks like tho "nothing- doing" sign for tho Old Hillside leader.

Ho held forth In a largo cement room In the Bols do Dologno, which Is tho equivalent to Bronx Park Zoo logical Gardens. But one day Charles L. Brazell, a Knights of Columbus secretary, camo to tho menagerlo and Gaston was led away. Tho story of tho elephant and tho polyglot circus which Sec rotary Brazell, who comes from San Francisco, oporated under tho aus pices of tho "Casey" organization is only a part of tho many difficulties wnicn besot tuo launching of tho circus which played to 1,500,000 soldiors and civilians and is now part and possession of tho Cirquo Rancy, tho Barnum & Bailey show of the French. To finish tho story of Gaston, it should bo told right now that although the French rail road men will make all kinds of affidavits that you can ship forty men or eight horses In a freight car, it was found that even with the roof and sides taken off such a car It would bo an extremely difficult task to ship nn elephant.
