WITHOUT JURY
DUBLIN, Sept. 13 (by Associated
Press).—One important provision of
the Irish Crimes bill which was put
into effect last month is that which
gives power to try civil actions with
out a jury. It is intended to make
short work of the activities of the
Sinn Fein courts which have revolu
tionized legal business, and largely re
duced the Irish bar to idleness.
The proceedings in criminal mat
ter of Sinn Fein courts are already
being dealt with by the police. When
the Sinn Feiners arrest a man on a
charge of theft or burglarly or any
thing else the police treat the Sinn
Feiner’s action as a breach o; the lib
erty of the subject who should only
be triable by a lawful court. The
KJiiiii i1 CiliCl O CllO pi UOCl/ULUU 1UI CIO*
sault, tried by courtmartial and sen
tenced to long terms of imprisonment.
The civil trials by the Sinn Peiners
are more difficult to deal with, for
they can be argued to be merely ar
bitrations by consent of the parties.
But the test to be applied is whether
they purport to be trials by authority
of the Irish republic and where that
is apparent they may be held to be
sedition and those taking part in
them prosecuted.
Police have recently been attending
all such Sinn Fein courts. They have
not interfered with the proceedings
hut have taken the names of those
engaged so that they may subsequent
ly be tried by courtmartial. It is gen
erally agreed that the government has
now the most complete powers against
the whole machinery of Sinn Fein but
there is some doubt whether it will
strenuously employ them. It will
deal with hunger strikes on a large
scale in the prisons.
HONOLULU, Sept. 13 (by Associ
ated Press).—A number of British sub
jects, including the mayor of a New
Zealand city and a major in the Brit
ish army, whose passports had not
been vised by American consuls, were
refused permission to land and spend
the day in Honolulu recently while
the steamer Tahiti was loading and
unloading on her way from Sydney,
Australia, to Vancouver, B. C.
The Britishers were detained aboard
the Tahiti at the order of R. L. Hal
sey, immigration inspector here. Hal
sey said he had his instructions from
Secretary of State Colby, adding that
he had received a cablegram to en
force the regulations strictly with re
gard to the Tahiti.
For viseing a passport the American
consuls in Australia charge a fee of
$10, said Tahiti passengers who had
conformed with the demand of the
United States government.
Officials of the chamber of com
merce took up the matter with the
immigration officials here, but could
obtain no relaxing of the rules, and
an appeal has been sent to Washing
ton to suspend the regulation which
charges a through passenger of foreign
birth $10 for the privilege of seeing
Honolulu.
SOUTHERN COUNTRY
PLANNING TO PLACE
BAN ON HORSE RACES
BUENOS AIRES, Sept. 13 (by Asso
ciated Press).—President Irigoyen’s
administration is considering projects
of law for the Suppression or limita
tion of horse racing, it is announced.
Buenos Aires has one of the finest
race courses in the world operated by
its famous jockey club where millions
change hands in a year under the pari
mutuel betting system.
Races are held twice a week, Thurs
danys and Sundays and on frequent
holidays. The attendance is from 15,
000 to 20,000 persons. The newspap
ers have commented on the fact that
as a corollary to the mounting cost
of living, the betting public has in
creased wagers on the races. Where
total bets on a Sunday were formerly
800,000 pesos, they now sometimes
aggregate 3,000,000 pesos.
The administration believes that the
Thursday races, at least, ought to be
suppressed.

BANDIT VILLA
TORREON, Coahuila, Mex., Sept 13
(by Associated Press).—There is a
great rejoicing throughout Northern
Mexico because of the surrender of
Francisco Villa. For ten years as a
guerilla revoltionist and bandit Villa
has kept the agricultural, grazing and
mining districts from here north
demoralized. Now a return to normal
is expected although the process will
take years provided the central gov
ernment at Mexico City remains nor
mal and there are no more revolutions
in the north.
Mines until now could not work
fully because their men would be con
scripted by one faction or another. The
miners were frequentely called upon
for large payments of money, their
machinery was often destroyed and it
was almost impossible to keep the
mines and mine employes supplied
with food and other necessities be
cause of theft and lack of transporta
tion.
Cattle owners fared as badly. Their
ranges are now practically depleted
of livestock through activities of
thieves and the military, governmental,
revolutionary, and banditry. Where
cattle and sheep once were counted
by tens of thousands they are now
counted by dozens.
Farmers are in as bad way. A crop
might be planted only to have it en
tirely taken by one or another of op
posing forces. Consequently for sev
eral years the peons have planted only
enough to supply their own meager
wants. The large ranch owners either
were fugitives in foreign countries or
had given up the attempt to farm.
Everywhere the poverv marks of rev
olution are evident and admitted
throughout Northern Mexico.
Trains over the Mexican Central
railroad now run direct from Mexico
City to the border at Juarez without
stop and have Pullman service. Pre
viously they operated only in the day
time from this point north, remaining
overnight at Torreon, Jimenez and at
Chihuahua City, making a three day
trip, whereas under the new schedule
the run is made in 26 hours. The
trains still operate with two armored
cars carrying soldiers, one behind the
tender and the other at the rear of
the train but the guards are not so
heavy as previously.
ROM RUNNERS BETWEEN
CANADA AND U. S. MAKE
PROFIT'S MANY MILLIONS
DETROIT, Mich.. Sept. 13 (by Asso
ciated Press).—Profits running into
millions of dollars will be taken by
rum runners operating between Can
ada and the Detroit district during
1920, according to estimates based
upon figures by American and Canad
ian revenue officers. In some quart
ers the estimates of profits from illi
cit liquor sales run as high as $100,
000,000 for the present year.
Stories of fortunes made over night
and of scores of liquor rings ranging
in size and operations from groups
of Canadian farmer boys who buy and
sell whiskey by the quart to “liquor
brokers” whose sales are measured in
terms of boat loads, are being heard
along both sides of the international
boundary between Michigan^ and On
tario.
Prohibition enforcement, agents are
greatly hampered by lack of motor
boats. It is said to be practically im
possible to catch whiskey smuggling
without fast craft.
REINHARDT RETIRE AS
THEATRLCAL MANAGER
BERLIN, Sept. 13 (by Associated
Press).—The newspapers announce
the retirement of Max Reinhardt
from active management of his chain
of Berlin theaters.
Reinhardt, who had dominated the
German dramatic world for more than
years, is said to be disguested at his
inability to induce the authorities to
repeal or modify the amusement tax,
which, he states, is burdening his en
terprises to a point where they are no
longer profitable. He will retire to his
country seat near Stalzburg where he
will devote himself to agriculture and
some more complicated problems of
dramatic art.
Gerhart Hauptmann, a dramatist
and Felix Hollaender, who has been
Reinhardt’s chief assistant, are men
tioned as the joint succeeding direc
tors.
