A draft of arm d troops was present HOLY H,EAD, Wales, Oct. 29 When day broke this morning over j the Irish sea, the steamer Rathniore, bearing the body of the late Terence MacSwiney, late .lord mayor 6f Cork, who died Monday in Brixton prison, London, was steaming southward off the Welsh head land on its way to that city. At the same hour, the relatives of MacSwiney, who refused to board the special steamer provided to take them and the lord mayor's body to Cork, were on their way to Dublin, al most directly across the narrow strait which divides Albion from Erin. -Shipment of MacSwiney 's body direct to Cork , was preceded by a violent scene in which blows were struck and members of the lord mayor's family were dragged from their railway coach at the Holy Head railway station. They refused to consent to the government's plan to take tho body to Cork instead of Dublin, and it was only after they had been placed under virtual temporary arrest that the body was taken from the train and hauled to the dock where tho Bathmoro was wait ing. . V Tho first stop si tor the train left Eus ton station was at Crewe, just outside of London where the superintendent of tho London metropolitan police, in eharg of three coaches filled with constables ac companying tho party, was handed a let ter by a messenger.

Seventy-six "black and tans" formed on the plat form and stood at " present arms" as the mourners passed along it. Mr, O'Brien, London executive of the Irish Self -Determination League, who repre sented the family on the funeral train, demanded that the station master ful fill the contract to carry the body to Cork by the way of Kingstown, a port near Dublin. A conference in the sta tion master's office followed, and that official was arranging for the transfer ence of the body and mourners by way of Kingstown, when an official entered and said the superintendent of police wanted to speak with him. When the station master returned he said: "My orders are that the body must be placed on board the Rathniore for shipment to Cork, and they will be Obeyed. " He intimated force would be used, if necessary. ' Deputy Mayor O'Callaghan, of Cork, shaking his finger in the station master 'a face, said: "You and your government are body anatchers. You are going to seize a dead body, and we 'refuse to ac company yon and your nefarious expedi tion. " The station master went to the baggage ear, where the mourners were grouped around the flower-decked , box containing tho coffin, and ordered tho box removed to the steamer, When they hoard his order, Annie and Mary Mac Swiney, sisters of the dead hunger strik er, cried defiantly: "Yon hawycnurdered our brother, and yon are. not going to arrest his body," . ... -';.t The mourners refused to allow tho por ter to touch tho casket, and a police of ficer ordered tho former to leave tho eat.

PARKER SPEAKS -c TO BIG AUDiEIXE HERE Republican Candidate for Gov ernor is GreeteU by Big Au dience at Courthouse De nounces One Party System in ' South Reraluation- Act . Will Injure Farmer, He Says. John" J . Parker, Republican candidate for governor, addressed n large crowd of voters in the courthouse here Thursday night. Every seat is tho room was taken and many stood in the aisles and door ways. The 'preponderance ' of tho au dience was Republican, although there were manyDemoerats present. To these Mr. Parker made friendly allusion, de claring that he held to the Biblical quo tation that there was 'more joy in the conversion and return of ons sinner than in the ninety and nine safe in the fold. Mr. Parker was presented by Mr. Eugene Craig, of ' Stanley, candidate for the Legislature from Gaston county. Mr. Craig is a eotton manufacturer and, is one ofthe prominent young member of the Republican party in the county. Mr. Craig is a goo'd speaker. In his high school days at Mt. Holly he was rated aa one of the beet debaters and orators in the county. He promised his au-1 dience that, if elected, ho would help put through legislation that would help them. Mr. Parker warned in tho beginning that his speech would not abound in vili fication, slander and mudslinging. no said that he would tell the truth as mild ly as possible. Politics b a business, ho said, and the people owe it to their coun try to support tho party that represents the beat. .Country should be placed be fore party. . -".':! ;-:; ; Referring to North Carolina's school system, Mr.1 Parker quoted tho report of tii Russell Sage foundation made pub lic n few days ago. in which North Caro lina was shown ft rank 4th from the bot tom in literacy, Ho promised that, if he became governor, ho would reform the State school system, , . r f o Turning to a discussion of tho eocalled "8olid South," Mr. Parker, discussed what , be L .nned the impptenco of the south in the councils of tho nation and at tributed it to the solid south. Neither Democrats nor Republicans, he said, had a voice in the making of platforms, be cause their states were sure-,to vote one way regardless of platforms. When tho south did come into power, the president had to call upon other leaders and Claud Kitehen threw away a golden opportunity when he declined the gauge of leader ship in the house. He compared present southern statesmen with Clay, Calhoun and Vance and attributed to the one-party system the fact that men of brains no longer invade the political field down here as formerly. The south failed to make progress as it should bocause it opposed protection, he said. The speaker took up the league of na tions, centering his attack on article ten. He condemned the Shantung settlement as a grave wrong to China, referred to the fact that the peace- conference . was not opened with prayer and cited the declaration of independence as showing where America stands. Hs declared that the implied moral obligation in article ten meant sending American boys across to Europe. ' Speaking of tho revaluation act, Mr, Parker declared , that it was wrong in principle, that a general property tax is wrong, and quoted tho Now York legisla tive commission' ia support of his posi tion.' He said tho only fair tax is an income tax which place tho tardea on those best able to boar it and he declared this year 48 per coot will bo paid by real estate. He asserted that farmer pay two and a half times as much a they did lsat year and that corporations, rail roads, banks' and money leader pay less He would press a system, ho declared, if elected governor, placing the iacomo tax flrst. .
