Split of Irish.
Supporters in the
A. F. of L Grows
Signera of Resolution De
manding Boycott of British
Goods Ask to With
draw Declaration.
Denver, June 19.The split be
tween the two factions of Irish sym
pathizers in the American Federa
tion of Labor convention here wid
ened tonight when a majority of the
signers of a resolution demanding
boycott of. British made goods an
nounced that tfrey had petitioned the
resolution committee asking permis
sion toiwithdraw the declaration.
While the delegates opposed to the
boycott resolution were framing their
petition, the remaining supporters of
the resolution issued a statement as
serting that they would carry the
fight to the floor of the convention,
declaring that they were acting in ac
cordance with the wishes of E am
nion de Valera, president of the Irish
republic.
On the other hand, a group of
delegates opposing the boycott and
urging adoption of a less drastic
resolution made publio a telegram
from Harry Boland of New York,
secretary to de Valera, which re
pudiated the claim of. the boycott
supporters that their declaration was
the "official resolution of the Irish
republic,"
Leaves It Up to Labor. .
"Would Ike to say that I have not
in any way interfcrred, or attempted
to interfere In the deliberations of
the American Federation of Labor,"
said Mr. Uolans telegram, wnicn
was in reply to a query from 14 in
ternational union officials as to
whether the boycott resolution was
the "official resolution of the Irish
republic."
"We seek the sympathy and sup
port of the American Federation of
Labor, but clearly understand jt is a
question solely for the delegates
themselves to decide now, n at. an,
such sympathy should be expressed
or support given. ' ' ' .
"We have not deputized any in
dividual or delegate to the conven
tion to speak for President de Va
'lera or the Irish mission. We very
natur?lly would wish to see strong
action taken by the federation in Ire
land's behalf, but deplore the fact
that groups within the convention
would exploit the cause of Irejand to
their own political ends.
Cause Too Sacred.
"The cause of Ireland, and the suf
fering of our people are too sacred
to us to permit them to be used as
a political weapon or club against
individual or policies wthn the Amer
ican Federation of Labor."
Sam Evans, personal representa
tive of Frank P. Walsh, heading the
supporters of the boycott resolu
tions, gave out a telegram alleged
to have been sent by Boland to
Peter J. Brady of New York, head
of a delegation of Irish sympathizers
here, which said: . " ..
"Vital and important that resolu
tion be submitted as written. You
promised me to introduce the .resolu
tion. We are willing to take a licki
ing. Rely on you at this crisis in
Ireland's affairs to stand by your
race."
Mr. Evans declared this telegram
referred to the boycott resolution,
which was rejected by the commit
tee headed by Mr. Brady.
Urges Boycott Support. '
' Frank P.1 Walsh has also sent" a
. telegram urging support of the boy
cott resolution, declaring that "boy
cott on English goods would, in my
opinion, free Ireland."
"A mere resolution of sympathy
for Ireland would be a backhand
blow at the bravest little nation that
ever fought for its life in the history
of the world,", he added.
The Chicago Federation of Labor
issued a statement declaring that the
boycott "cannot hurt Canadian
union!," as it provides "that .goods
-manufactured m Canada under-union
conditions are excluded . from the
boycott."
The statement said that the boy
cott by American labor would also
"strengthen the hands of the liberal
seeking to aid the Irish ,, nation
achieve self-determination."
Not ''Officially Represented.?
The petition for the wfthdrawal of
the boycott resolution was drafted
today at a meeting of Irish sympa
thizers, following the receipt of the
Boland telegram declaring that the
Irish republic was not "officially
represented", in the convention. These
delegates asserted that their signa
tures were -secured to ' this resolu
tion originally upon the belief that
this declaration was sent by "the of
ficial representative" of the Irish "re
public" in America. Asking with
drawal of the resolution, they urged
support of the declaration submitted
by delegates headed by Mr. Brady
calling for recognition of the "Irish
republic by congress, withdrawal of
British troops from Ireland, and
immediate repayment by ureat Bri
tain of the $9,000,000,000 loaned her
bv the United States."
"The entire matter was in the hands
ot the resolutions committee tonigni
and the indications were that re
port would be made to the conveiu
tion either tbmorrow morning or
Tuesday.

Improved Farm
Machinery to Be
Demonstrated
Expect 50,000 Fanners From
Many States to Attend Big
Tractor Exhibition at
Targo, N. D.
By HOLLAND.
Ninety years Ago Cyrus Hall Mc-
Cormick amused" and astonished the
farmers who lived in the vicinity of
his Virginia home by taking out to
his field a machine which he had in
vented and built and which , was to
be used for reaping wheat or other
grains. He was then only 22 years
of aire. ' Although his reaper caused
some amusement and a great deal of
incredulity, nevertheless he perse
vered in the use of it and made many
improvements so that at last after the
United states began to develop, large
ly as a cultivator of wheat and other
grains it came into general use.
Ifl the last week of June near the
city of Fargo, N. D., there is to be a
demonstration which will reveal the
enormous growth of machine farming
implements which has taken place
since McCormick first showed the
Virginia farmers his crude little
reaper. This growth in the develop
ment of machine farming implements
has been, however, of comparatively
recent development
Engines Succeed Beasts.
This increase in the high develop
ment of machines for tWe cultiva
tion of farms and the gathering of
the crops is in large part due to the
invention of the intetnal combustion
engine. Formerly tarm machinery
of this kind was operated by horses
or by oxen. Now gasoline .and the
internal combustion engine are to a
considerable extent supplanting ani
mal power in the operation of these
machines.
There is, however, another sig
nificant feature associated with what
is to be the greatest machine farm
ing demonstration ever held in this
country. It is significant not only
of the maintenance of American agri
culture upon a large scale, but also
of a large increase in the cultivation
of food products.
i So greatly interested are the
American farmers in this demon
stration that it is now certain that
at least 50,000 farmers and a large
number of those who are interested
in the anufacture and sale of ma
chine farm implements will assemble
at Fargo during the last three days
if June. The great farms of the
Mississippi valley and also of Ne
braska and the remote west will be
represented at this gathering.

Judge Charges
Sheriff Evaded
Habeas Corpus
Des Moines Jurist Suggests
Contempt Proceeding Against
W. E. Rohh, Former Army
Chaplain, In Opinion.
Des Moines, la., June 19. (Spe
cial Telegram.) Prospects of a jail
sentence for Sheriff W. E. Robb and
Jailer John Sloan for contempt of
court, loomed Saturday morning in
district court when Judge James C
Hume recommended to the county
attorney that such an action might
properly be brought.
, The suggestion that contempt pro
ceedings be brought was inserted in
an opinion delivered from the bench
in the habeas corpus proceeding j
brought by John Watters, alias "Go ,
about" Riley, who instituted his ac-!
tion just prior to his enforced depar
ture to Guthrie county in custory of .
Deputy Sheriff McAfee, May 5. j
The court said in the opinion that
it was his opinion that Watters was
taken to Guthrie county to evade the
serving of the writ of habeas corpus.
Watters is being held at Guthrie Cen- ;
ter for murder of J. K.' Williams, ;
former night marshal at Stuart, la.,
and the robbery of the First National
bank at that place this spring.
Charges of "strong arm" methods,
and military tactics at the county
jail, in handling prisoners permeated
the opinion of the Polk county jurist.
"Although crimes must be pun
ished," the court stated, "strong arm
methods, in law enforcement, do not
appeal to a court. Although tech
nically we are still at war, practically
we are at peace, and military law,
the practice of military courts and
some of the habits of military men
are neither commendable nor neces
sary. A certain amount of zealous
ness on the part of the police may
be and is a good thing, but over-
zealousness, such as appears in thit
case, partakes of the nature of law
less tyranny and should be stopped."
The .court then "noticed" the ac
tions of the sheriff and jailer for
further proceedings by the county at
torney under sections 4435 and 4444
of the code. Failure to observe the
law or evading of a writ of habeas
corpus by a sheriff, police officer or
jailer may bring a sentence of a year
in the county jail and a fine of $1,000.

Aged Woman Awaits "
Stillman Trial News
(Continued From Ps On.)
sounds like a declaration from her
daughter today.
"We are not in the Dark Ages,
when a wife was a slave," she told
him.
Daughter Taken from Her.
Whereupon little Fifi was taken
from her, to her father's house at
Tuxedo. Mrs. Potter went on her
way and became the most fashion
able actress in London and Paris,
the favorite artiste of the English
artists. Her daughter was not kept
informed as to her whereabouts, and
it was not until Fifi was old enough
to read the newspapers that she
realized her mother was a celebrated
and extraordinary woman.
In 1900, two years after the little
daughter had grown up and became
a debutante, Mr. Potter took the last
step, which severed his official con
nection with his wife. Divorce on
the ground of desertion was given
him in Rhode Island, where he had
a Newport house.
During all this time Fifi Potter
bad kept up correspondence with
her mother, of whom she had only
the haziest memory of a child. But
after her marriage to the eldest son
of the wealthy Stillman family her
letters were less frequent Mrs.
Brown Potter was given to under
stand that the Stillman family did
not approve of actresses.
Actress Comes to Terms.
Is 1906 the famous beauty was at
last reduced to coming to terms. She
had made unfortunate business .ven
tures as a play producer, and found
herself in the bankruptcy court in
London. She appealed to her
daughter.
Mrs. Stillman in turn appealed to
her husband and father-in-law. The
ultimatum delivered by the elder
James Stilling is the same ultima
tum which has recurred on two other
occasions in the strange family his
tory of the Stillmans.
If Mrs. Brown Potter would
never return to America and ivould
sign a promise not to do so, Mr
Stillman would relieve all her diffi
culties. Mrs. Brown Potter made the
answer which is the answer of her
daughter to a similar command: she
would not accept dictation which re
stricted her right to liberty of action.
The elder James Stillman was the
undisputed autocrat of Jus family.
When Mrs. Potter asserted her inde
pendence, her daughter's letters to
her suddenly ceased. What heart
burn;ngs lie behind that significant
fact no mother or daughter has ever
told.
Returns to America.
, But Mrs. Potter did return to
America, and Mrs. James Stillman,
obeying her own will, met the fa
mous beauty, now a very tired and
sad beauty, in Central park. Mrs.
Potter was doing costumed recita
tions of poetry in a music hall for
$3,000 a week.
Mother and daughter met in a
driving rain in the corner of the
park near the Plaza hotel. All the
opposition of the Stillman family
could not stop the reconciliation
which followed. Mrs. Potter spent
her remaining days in America at
Mrs. Stilhnan's house, 9 East
Seventy-second street, and retutned
to England to an utter retirement.
The woman whose palace at Bray
lodge, Maidenhead-on-Thames, was
the favorite playground of King
Edward, Princess Hatzen, the
Duchess of Manchester, and hun
dreds of England's most brilliant
aristocracy, lives quietly in a cot
tage in the Orkneys now and busies
herself with plants and her garden.
She is 72. That is a very old age,
but all the surge of crowded life
comes to her again with every post
from across the Atlantic.
In the next installment will be
told the story of Fifi Potter from
her birth to her debut in New York
society, and impressions of friends
who knew her during those years.
