cause darkness prevented a safe
passage over the rapids.
The grand review was scheduled
to be completed shortly after five
o'clock, but it was found impossible
to keep to the program and it was
MS before the knights had all
boarded the boat for the return
trip. The Capitol was headed up
the river in the Mollne pool when
it took on the passengers and with
the capacity load and with little
current in the pool it was found
difficult to turn it around.
Pilots Refuse Responsibility. '
A trip was made to the upper end
of the pool and with difficulty the
large craft was headed down
Itream. By the time It had passed
through. t,a,tonli sgaitf -wte-the

tecided that they would not dare
lake the responsibility of guiding
the Capitol over the rapids in the
dark, especially since government
work in the river is said to have
tnade navigation of the rapidsven
more difficult than usual ar the
present time. Accordingly the boat
aa steered to the only landing
place above the rapids and was
docked about 8:45 on the Iowa side

Davenport.

- Many who were on the boat de
clare that the larders were filled
and the object of holding up the
boat was to delay the return to the :
city In order to sell the food to the
passengers at exhorbitant prices.

Harding Outlines Views in
Lengthy Letter.
Chicago, Sept 3. The American
Association of Engineers today
made public letters from Governor
Cox and Senator. Harding in an
swer to a questionnaire recently
sent the presidential candidates.
Governor Cox wrote that "my re
ply to every one of the questions
you ask is unequivocally 'yes,'"
white Senator Harding in a lengthy
letter, outlined his views.
Among the questions asked were
whether the presidential nominees
favor a national department of pub
lic works for the purpose of re
ducing and coordinating many bu
reaus and commissions; the ap
pointment of an engineer as a
member of the interstate commerce
commission ; a progressive program
of conservation and development
of public resources; the budget
system and the reclamation of
waste lands, with a special finan
cial system to aid the settler.
In reply Senator Harding said:
. "I do not care to enter into a
categorical reply to questionnaires,
no matter how friendly they may be
and no matter how reputable and
high-standing the source from
which they come." ,
He added he had been consider
ing the question of a department of
public works but feared "I should
be unworthy of public confidence
if I ventured to decide so important
and far-reaching a question with
out the very fullest study."
t "You may say, in S. general way."
he continued, "that I think very
well of the appointment ot an en
gineer on the interstate commerce
commission, and I have always
spoken heartily in favor of a pro
gressive and constructive policy of
conservation. I am sure you know
that I favor the budget system and
a very forward policy relating to
reclamation and irrigation."

have now "put it up to" the com

sinister interests had their check
books ready to buy an underhold on
the government by aiding Harding's
election, and that profiteers ' and
those desiring to see the bayonet
used to control labor were In league
with the G. O. P.
Moore said that one important
lead already had been given the
committee, through testimony re
garding William Barnes' "militant
propaganda"; enterprise and the
pledges" of support to it from men
and corporations of great wealth.
Another lead will be given, he
said, when he testifies at the re

London, Sept 3. (United Press)
Terrence MacSwiney, ford mayor
of (Cork, was virtually lifeless in
Brixton prison today.
On the twenty-first day of his
hunger strike he showed no signs
of life save an occasional quiver ot
an eyelid.
Relatives who were at his bedside
declared that to all intent his body
was dead but his "spirit still ling
ers. 1
"It is too late for clemency now,"
said the lord mayor's brother Sean.
Father Dominic held holy com
munion for MacSwiney this morn
ing and said he believed it was for
the last time. . '
British Labor Appeals.
British labor leaders today ap
pealed to the government to re
lease MacSwiney.
"Failure to release MacSwiney
Jeopardizes settlement of the Irish
question and stains British honor
throughout the world," they stated
"His continued imprisonment is
an outrage to public sentiment ev
erywhere. His death will bring
about a terrible explosion of anger
and further bloodshed in Ireland.
King and Ministers EpUtt
A serious divergence of opinion
between King George and his min
isters has arisen over the question
of releasing Terrence MacSwiney,
hunger-striking lord mayor of
Cork, according to rumors circulat
ed today. '
It was reported that at the Inter
cession of Queen Mary the king
threatened to issue a royal procla
mation freeing MacSwiney. Prem
ier Lloyd George was said to have
a counter threat to hold up such
a proclamation. Some of the min
isters were alleged to be willing
and even anxious to revoke the
governmental order against releas-
lng hunger strikers, out mo prem
ier was said to be adamant .
Partly Paralysed. '
The lord' mayor, on the twenty
flrst day of his hunger strike, was
reported to have developed paraly
sis ot the right leg and right arm,
due to failure of circulation. Phy
sicians were said to have expressed
the fear this condition would grad
