CAUSED BY DEATH
MUCH 6RIEF AND BITTERNESS
la Extremely Improbable That There
Will be Any Outbreaks or Dis
orderly Developments In Cork.
Cork. Ireland. Feverish Interest
In possible developments caused by
the death of Lord Mayor MacSwiney,
of this city t which occurred In Brixton
prison, London, is -mingled with the
grief In which his death has plunged
south Ireland. * Although the people
appear stirred to the highest degree
of bitterness, It Is regarded as ex
tremely Improbable that there will
be any outbreaks or disorderly dem
onstrations lh this city.
It is expected, however, there will
be a considerable extension and inten
sification of guerilla warfare against
the police and military forces, which,
anticipating resprisals, are doubling
their vigilance, especially In remote
districts.
Cork Jail, where a number of hun
ger strikers are In a grave condition,
Is guarded Inside and out by soldiers
equipped with machine guns.
There is an exceptionally large gar
rison here. It Is equipped for any even
tualities, has a number of tanks and
armored cars and is ready for instant
service.
It Is understood the Irish parlia
ment had been making appeals to all
elements of the population to refrain
from violence. This Is also believed
to be the policy of various influential
leaders of the Sinn Fein movement.

Make Sufficient Production Next
Year a Simple Impossibility.
Columbia, S. C.—J. Skottowe Wau
namaker, president at the American
Cotton association, said that Presi
dent WHson bad been requested to
arrange for a sweeping investigation
of agricultural conditions.
"The fact that the agricultural pro
ducers, nation-wide, are paying a ter
rible penalty by being forced to sell
their products at a price far below
the cost of production is due largely
to the inability to gain access to
foreign markets on account of the
removal of the war finance corpora
tion, established by Congress tor the
purpose of using 91,000,000,000 to
market American staple products into
central Europe," said Mr. Wanna
taaker.
"We have laid these matters fully
tHrfore the President wlto the re
quest that he arrange for a sweep
ing investigation of agricultural con
ditions tor the specific purpose of
ascertaining and removing the
capses. persons sr combines re
sponsible tor these conditions. It is
being pointed out that unless relief
can be secured that the ability of
the producer will be so limited by
his losses that the matter of suffi
cient production from the next crop
will be of serious concern, and spells
the absolute certainty of a great
scarcity of agricultural production and
far higher prices.
