London, October 25.—(By the As- @ociated Préss.)—Terence MacSwin- ey, lord mgyor of Cork, the most prominent of the Irish hunger strik- ers and said to have been the brains of the republican army in Ireland, died early today in Brixton prison. The end was not unexpected, for the lord mayor had been uncon- s for several days. He was en- tering upon the seventy-fourth day of his hunger strike as a protest against a sentence of two years im- prisonment on several charges, in- cluding one of having seditious Goc- ‘uments in his possession. nly his brother, John OS ORE and his private chaplain, Father Dominic,, were. with him when he Swiney and the pris- : | hotel. pe yor' | ly Emaciated.

She immed@lately went to the prison, accompanied by her parents and the Misses MacSwiney, and the family group, stoical and d@ry-eyed, prayed over the body as it lay on tha cot. ’ There were no untoward demon- strations outside the prison after the news of; MacSwiney’s death be- came generally known. A _ large force of police had been concentrat- ed to put down any disorder that might occur. It was said at the pris- on that the reason for withholding permission to John MacSwiney to inform the dying man’s relatives of his condition was that it was in the prisoner’s interests. Just before MacSwiney died Fa- ther Dominic and John MacSwiney knelt at the bedside and offered up prayers. The priest administered the rites of extreme unction. ' May Meve Bedy Secretly. It is well within the possibilities that the body will be taken to Cork secretly in order to avoid unpleas- ant results from whatever demon- strations might be arranged in Eng- d and Ireland along the route traversed by the train bearing the body, There is no intimation that Any official advocates refusal to Bend it to Cork. : e home office, in charge of lorllies: which would control the movement of the body in England. said that no pian for the removal of the body had been officially consid- ered. At the Irish office it was de- tlared that no plan had been formu- lated for the transfer of the body to Jreland and that fina] decision pn this point would rest\ solely with Dublin. castle. It is within the powers of the home office to give up the body of 2 prisoner in whatever way is deem- ed most expedient. It is pointed out that it could legally transfer the body in secret to some out of the Way port and later to a government Vessel and deliver it at Cork. Police Blocked Crowds, As soon as the-news of the lord Mayor’s death began to spread through the city, small knots of People began moving toward Brix- ton prison.

The program put a barrieriat the very gateway against any indorse- ment of the administration or par- ty platform by adopting a rule that no resolution could be debated on the floor without first being re- ported out by the resolutions com- mittee. Therefore no member of the convention who believed in support of the administration could be permitted to say as much, the reso- lutions committee being selected to carry out the wishes of the Watson- Hardwick control.

Thousands Hear, Cox’s Speeches in West Vir- ginia. Huntington, W. Va., October 25.— Governor Cox announced today that if elected president he would “sit down with the senate and make an agreement” upon the league of na- tions and that this agreement should be determined by the senatorial elections. The “executive will,” cratic presidential candidate said, should not control, and it is un- thinkable, he declared, that Amert- can mombership in the league the demo- been j strould pe postponed* “twe retin “when\the next senatorial elections would be held. American membef- ship, he indicated, was the primary consideration. That he ‘favored American participation with “clari- fying’ reservations was reiterated by the governor. Hailed by members of, the gover- nor’s party as one of the most: im- portant of campaign developments, the candidate’s announcement was in response to an opén letter sent today to Governor Cox and his re- publican opponent, Senator Harding. by 50 of their supporters urging them to accept’ whatever revision of the Lodge reservations two-thirds of the next senate might approve. Gox. Cox’s Statement. The governor’s statement, issued during a rushing West Virginia tour today read: j “The situation is this: I favor go- ing into the existing league with clarifying . reservations. Senator Harding has said that he was not interested in clarification, but in re- jection. I have every expectation that after November 2 much of the partisan spirit that has been visited upon discussion of the league will have subsided. One-third of the seats of the senate are to be filled this year. The pebple understand the issue and we will accept their expression at face valte. I will. therefore, sit down with the senate and reach an agreement about our going into this league. There is no other, and any talk of a new asso- ciation is but tdle phrase, The im- portant thing is to get a start and help to stabilize world conditions which vitally affect the interest and welfare of America. For us to re- main out of the league for two years or until‘another election could- be held would be unthinkable. If too much has to be given in compro- mise now in order fo insure our en- trance into the league, the people themselves will have an opportu- nity to modify and correct later.

Atlanta, after yielding a week of the big exposition to the thousands of out-of-town visitors, on Monday claimed its own privilege of yup- porting the association en masse and carrying the attendance well over the 20,000 mark of the corre- sponding day of 1919. More than 6,000 heads turned as one following the olive drab Fiat. of Sig -Haug- dahl as it sped around, the Lake- wood course to establish the new track record of one mile in :47 2-5, only one second above the world’s record on a dirt course.

SOUTH IS RECOGNIZED BY FINANCIAL WORLD Long Generation Strug- gle. for Bare Existence Has Passed With the De- velopment of Southern Industry, Says Railway President. Picturing the southland as re- leased from the absorbing activities of the strenuous war times and turning to the, peaceful pursuits of industry and commerce, President Fairfax Harrison, of the Southern railway, in his annual] report to the directors, just. made public, por- trays the states south of the Po- tomac as preparing to step over the threshold. of an era of perma&- nent prosperity and industrial im- portance, that promises to become the greatest epoch in the history of the south. “The south fs now recognized by the business world to be prosper- ous, measured by ‘every economie test,” declared Mr. Harrison, “and the long generation, struggle for bare existence has passed.” .Mr. Harrison, in enumerating the causes for the prosperity of the south, declares that one of the most potent causes for the permanent prosperity that is unquestidénably promised, is that the. standard of living has been materially raised among the people of Dixie. Following the war. between the states, declares the railroad presi- dent, the south produced, at low costs, what it had to sell as raw material, and further states that these products, manufactured in the north, were returned to the people of this section at high prices. This condition that continued for many years served to keep the south poor. But, with the development of southern industry within the past few years there ‘have _ atso come higher prices for raw mate- rial and higher wages for southern people. These causes have been re- sponsible for increasing the earning | and purchasing power of the aver- j. age southern family, which means, of course, a higher state-of pros- perity. Believe in Home Industry. Mr. Harrison, who is fully con- vinced that the prosperity of the southern people is based upon per- manency, shows that the people here are more fully alive to the potentiality of fostering home in- dustries, which means higher rates of return upon southern products. “The argument,” continues. Mr. “that there is and ha been inflation and extravagance in the present situation may be jus- tified and will be tested by the event, but the cheerful fact re- mains that the south is today feel- ing what Dr. Johnson called ‘the potentiality of growing rich beyond the dreams of avarice.’” The number of new industries now being erected in the southland, ac- cording to Mr. Harrison’s report, including additions to enterprises already in operation, is greater than’ at any time in the history of the south. Five hundred and eight new industries were completed and put in operation along the lines of the Southern railway system, and | two hundred and ninety-four indus- tries were enlarged during the year 1919 and the first six months of 1920. The amount of capital invested in the new enterprises was $225,000,000 along the lines of the Southern rail- way. These figures include exten- sions of. old industries, and are compared with $1532,165,000, the cost of plants under _.construction be- tween July 1, 1917, and June 30, 1920, along the. lines of the ner ern railway. _ With. reference to the pronpadiie: ‘of the south, the report rendered by President Harrison is.as follows: Pursuits ef Peace. “The south, released from the ab- sorbing activities.of war, has turned to the pursuits of peaceful industry. 4 siaiad oe with renewed ners? stimula ¥ resources than | i...

Dobbs, president of the Coca-Cola Company of Delaware, and one of Atlanta’s best-known ad- vertising men, resigned his position ata meeting held in New York city yesterday, Charles Howard Candler, of Atlanta, being elected to succeed him, as exclusively predicted in a story in The Constitytion last week, and action on the expected dividend on common stock was postponed, according to dispatches received here last. night. The reason’ given for Mr. Dobbs’ resignation was that there were ir- reconcilable differences between him and some members of the board regarding advertising policies.

Highsmith, aged 37, of 31 Porter place, well-khown attorney, was shot and seriously wounded Monday night by Newport A. Lan- ford, of 342 South Boulevard, for- ‘mer chief of detectives of this city. The shooting occurred about 9 o’clock on DeKalb avenve. The vic- tim was carried to Grady hospital in an automobile by Frank Faucett, and pronounced seriously wounded. Newport Lanford was arrested at his ing. ; In what he believed might be a dying statement, Mr. Highsmith de- clared at the hospital that Lanford had shot him and that he (High- smith) was “in the right" in the quarrel. In this statement the vic- tim claimed that he knocked his assailant down three times. The shooting occurred following a quarrel in.

McWilliams were approached and Mr. Lanford, who were in an automobile. Faucett states that he was a client of Mr. Highsmith and wished to talk with him about a case in which hé is concerned. After discussing the case, Mr. Highsmith told Fanceft that he wished to see Walter Jones, regard- ing the purchase of a motorcycle, and asked Faucett to drive his car for him to the home of Walter Jones, as he himself did not know the location. This, Faucett states, he agreed to do, and hé and Mc- Williams entered the automobile, Faucett taking the wheel and driv- ing to 20 Anderson avenue, the home of Jones. While still in Peters street all four men took a drink from a pint bottle of whisky, the property of Lanford, according to Mr. High- smith. When Walter Jones’ house was reached, Mrs. Jones, his mother, came to door, and asked Faucett what he wanted there. At this time, according to the statement at the hospital by Mr. Highsmith, Lanford cried: “I’ve been entrapped —you’ve entrapped me.” When Mr. Highsmith asked Lanford what he rheant by “being entrapped,” Lan- ford drew his pistol and pointed it at Faucett, crying “Drive on, you —— I'll kill the first —— —— that get out of this car!” Says Lanford Held Pistol. ’Faucett then drove on, although Continued on Pagxe 1.
