O’HIGGINS WAS STERN
THE recent assassination of Vice-President Kevin O’Hig
* gins of the Irish Free State, which threatens to
plnnge Ireland into another civil war, has brought out in
cidents which reveal the stern character of the dead
statesman.
Believing that drastic measures were necessary to re
store and preserve order in the country, O’Higgins as
Minister of Justice, had approved 77 executions, while
citizens in great numbers were imprisoned.
In illustration of his inflexible will, the story is told of
his execution of Rory O’Connor, a famous rebel, in spite
of their former close friendship- Six months before
O’Connor had acted as best man at O’Higgins’ wedding.
When O’Connor’s will was read, it was found that he had
left all his money to O’Higgins, the man who was respon
sible for his death.
O’Connor’s friends swore vengeance, and it is possible
that the action of O’Higgins in this case led to his ultimate
assassination.

Few college students have committed suicide since
the June exams were over.
Young Rev. Warren Straton of New York is reported
to have been seized with an emotion which caused him to
“lay prone upon the floor of the church, utter unintelligi
ble sounds and sing beautifully in an unknown language "
Out our way they call folks who act like that “Holy
Rollers."
A gypsy who found a $20,000 string of pearls in a
street in Amsterdam, was permitted to name his own re
ward upon its return to the owner. He thought a horse
and wagon and a new scissors-grinding machine would fit
him out about right. He got them.

CUTTING OUT LOOP
OF VALDEZ CABLE
UNDEO WAV TODAY
CABLE BEEN IN SERVICE 18
| YEARS—CABLESHIP DELWOOD
ON THE JOB
I _
With the completion of the work of
cutting out the cable loop connecting
Valdez with the Seward-Cordova sys
tem, the historical old mining town’s
line of rapid communication will be
by wireless. This work is expected to
be finished today by the cableship Del
wood, which is reported to be off
Montagu Island fishing up the cable
iand cutting it at a point where it
turns east after leaving Valdez and
connecting at that point with a new
length of cable, which will run almost
due west along the north shore of
Montagu Island and connect with the !
cable leading from Seward eastward.
Both Valdez and Cordova have been
served by a section of cable starting
at Seward and terminating at Cordo
va, with a “V”-shaped loop running up
to Valdez from Montague Island, and
swinging back south, on to Cordova.
The direct line to Cordova from Sew
ard will remain as it is, with the ex
ception that the cable will be short
ened to the extent of the portion cut
out from Valdez.
Scarcely any interruption of serv
ice is expected, as it is only a matter
of connecting the cable on the Cordo
va side, cutting the Valdez section, .
and connecting again on the Seward
side and cutting at that point.
The cable hitherto serving Valdez
has been in service about 18 years,
Valdez being the northernmost termi
nus and Seward being connected by n
the branch running to Cordova.
For some time the cable and radio
service in Valdez has been handled by
one man, who will remain as wireless
operator, with Seward as the head- „
quarters of the Signal Corps in Alas
ka as constiutted when the change
was made from Valdez.
