ATTACK NOT UNEXPECTED
Dublin, Dec. 20. Government police

who ycstertlny attempted to nssnsslnntc
Viscount French, inl llcutctinnt of Ire
land, llellct Is expressed Hint evidence
has been obtnlned that may result in
the arrest of scvcrnl of those who plan
ncd and carried out the attack.
Documents were secured by the au
thorities last night, when a storo in
this city was raided, the officers having
been led to tiio place by papers found
on the person of a man named Savage,
who was killed while running from the
icene of the attempted assassination.
The authorities nre Investigating the
ussoclntes of Savage in the hope of
finding a clue to the Identity of the
assassins. .... . ,
Absence of independent witnesses and
tho (liilckness of the, attack caused u.
number of discrepancies in accounts of
the occurrence. It was nt first said
that Poliemnn T,oughtin, guard nt the
Ashtown cross-roads, had been kil .
but it developed he was only wounded.
When the firing began he ran In the
direction of the viscount s motor ear,
but tripped and fell White he was ly

a hospital, where is is said his lujuries
are slight.

Detective. Sergeant llnlley. who was
lso wounded, is nt the Viceregal Lodge.
He wns a bod guard of Viscount
French, succeeding Conslnble lloey,
who was recently killed by-parties un
known. L 1 l At. I
Most recent reports slate the motor
car in which the viscount rode was
not struck by bullets, the attacking
nartv centering its attention on the au
tomobile immediately behind which wus
empty. This car was shattered by a
bomb Tihich exploded inside the ve-
Tlic viceregal lodge is under close
guard of police, no one being allowed
to enter. Large crowds from Dublin
visited the scene of the .attack jester
day afternoon.
Viscount French and Mr. iSaunderson,
his secretary, refuse to see newspaper
men and officials generally arc very
reticent, it is stated, however, that
the lord lieutenant was probably the
least surprised of any one by the at
tempt against his life. It is known
that he has expected on attack and
U quoted as saying recently ho wns
"governing Ireland, pistol in hand."
but that, he "was not going Jo evade
danger."
It Is recalled thnf the Sinn Fein
newspaper Repubi edited by Dar
rell Figgis, printed in one of its Sep
tember issues:
"Viscount French will not be hero
much longer, but. the nntion will con
tinue. Its freedom will he won when
French has passed from the scene."
When four Sinn r'einers. charged
with soliciting fundi for the Irish par
liament, .were sentenced to various terms
o imprisonment in Criminal Court nt
Burnfoot, Donegal, jestcrday, Magis
trate Porter excitedly declared the sen
tences to be savage," and said he
would fling his magistrate's commission
to the winds. Magistrate Mclaughlin
lso protested and was removed from
She court.
James Ian Macl'hersou, chief serrc
ary for Ireland, has arranged to come
to Dublin immediately, bur. will be
closely guaided. even in Knglnnd. says
the London Daily Mail. Mr. MacPher
on is under constant guard of two
detectives and when he reaches Ire
land his bodyguard will be increased to
twelve men.
IRISH BILL MODELED
ON U. S. SYSTEM
London, Dec. 20. (By A. V.) The
proposed Irish bill, which Premier '
Lloyd George will outline in the House
of Commons on Monday, will, it is be- I
ncveo, loreenst a government tor Ire
land analogous to the state govern
mental system in Americn. It is under
stood to provide for senarate parlia
ments for Ulster and southern Ireland
respectively, with a superior body
chosen by both sections, representatives
to be elected, as the states elect mem
bers to the American House of Repre
cntaUves.
Tho idea will be to give a large
mount of autonomy to each section of
Ireland, with thoroughly easy ma
chinery providing for their combination
as soon as they desire to unite, the bill
being intended to pave the road for
elimination of the idea of the partition
of Ireland.
It is expected that the premier's an
nouncement will be molt conciliatory
nd is understood to have kept before it
Si primary points, first that the sece3- I
slon of Ireland nnd the establishment of i
an independent Irish republic could nut !
be tolerated, but that on the other
hand the present system of government j
could not be continued and that it was
impossible to ignore the fnct that there
were two great sections of Irelnmf, each I
of whose claims must be considered.
Precautions are being taken bv the
Scotland Yard officials against po'ssiblo'
attempts to attack Premier Lloyd George I
or prominent members of the Irish of
fice in London.

Money, Money, Who's Got
the Money in 1920 Race ?
Maybe Financial Interests Back Lowden for
President, Maybe Wood Anyhow Acri
monious Debate Has Sprung Up
Ity CMNTOV XV. OIMIKIIT
StalT CnrreiMindfnt of ' linln 1'nWlr Ilirr
Washlncton. Dei
ec. 20.-'flip Wood
and Lowden promoters have begun, or
some one has begun for them, n slightly
acrimonious debate as to which of tho
two is the candidate of the money In
terestx. It started with an attack upon
the Illinois governor, charging that his
candidacy was cloely associated with
certain big finnnelnl personages.
Governor Lowden is the son-in-law
of George M. Pullman, of Pullman
palace car fume. As such his name Is
nnnthemn to certain more radical Re
publicans. William Allen White having
nlrendy gone so far ns to serve notice
In his paper, the Kmporin Giiwtte, that
in case of Lowden's nomination Tic
would bolt the ticket.
The Lowden people, hearing of n
base attempt to submarine nu excel
lent and worthy candidacy, have nt once
nscribed It to the Wood promoters. In
reply they, or some one in their In
terests, called attention to the wealthy
gentlemen who would like to see Gen
eral Wood nominated. And the story
was circulated that when tho Wood
campaign wns under consideration n
meeting wns heh1 In the home of the
late Henry ('. Prick, or Pittsburgh.
Dan It. Ilnnun. f Clevelund, Ison
of the late Senator Murrus Ilnnun, was
present.
Dan llanna Hacks Wood
As n result of this meeting rtmple
means were nvnllable, it was said, for
the Wood promoters. Since then Mr.
Hannn has declared for General Wood
in his newspaper, the Cleveland News,
in spite of the fact that Ohio has a
favorite son in the person of Senator
Harding, and Mr. Hannn is credited
with the intention of fighting to tnKe
some of Ohio iiwny from Harding and
to give it to Wood, prccipitntlng some
thing like the situntion that existed in
101", when Roosevelt entered the home
state of President Tnft nnd fought him
there for the delegates. Mr. Hnnnn par
ticipated financially and otherwise In
that fray.
Tn the interest of Governor Lowden
it is suggested thnt the Wood promot
ers, wishing to distract ntVutiou from
the sunport of tlmir candidate by Mr.
Hntina, William Cooper Procter, the
late II. C. Frick, nnd perhaps George
W. Perkins, are pointing the finger nt
Governor Lowden's friends.
Hut these reports nre hard to trnrr
and it may be that some one interested
in Governor Lowden. nfter rending Wil
liam Allen White's editorial nnd know
ing thnt Mr. White nnd his friends like
General Wood pretty well, has stirred
the waters in order that people will re
mark upon how agreeable to certain
persons of great wealth the lending
candidate for the Republican nomina
tion. Oeuernl Wood, is.
Well -Financed Candidates
Or it may be that the friends of
some third candidate, Senator Harding,
for example, have started the whole
thiug in order that the public should
know whnt is the undoubted fact, that
lu all these preliminary maneuvers the
inonev is down unon two men. Wood
nnd Lowden. From a source in New
York, surely well informed upon finance
nnd politics, it is learned that these
two, as things stand today, would be
the well -financed candidates. They
would carry the money.
Tho Wood movement hns the finaueinl
hocking thnt was always available for
Theodore Roosevelt, plus some backing
that the general himself has obtained
by reason of the popularity that his
Platlsburg training-camp movement and
his quarrels with tho Wilson ndmlnis-

beforo the country There Is no need
of funds to conduct primary campaigns.
Harding is in reserve. The. organiza
tion really wants to nomlnaiu him. It
will do so It It can and If no such pub
lic sentiment develops as will make the
nojping of him Imprudent.
The Pershing candidacy has Its
finnnelnl connections, through Gcnerat
Dawes and through Pershing's father-in-law,
Senator Warren. Rut the
Pershing cnndiiiney Is new. Moreover,
tho present indications nre that tho
Perslilng candidacy will not be u pri
mary candidacy. It will not nftxl
money. In n way It resembles the can
didacy of Senator Harding. It is po
tential rather than actual.
All Acceptable to "Business"
The situation may change nnd bring
both Harding and Pershing into the
scramble for the delegates. In which
case it will be no longer possible to sny
that the two candidacies with money
backing arc those of Wood nnd J,ow
deu. Iluch one of these four lending
candidates can obtain plenty of llnnuclaj
support.
Among them the money Issue Is n
false issue. All the Republican candi
dates ure acceptable to tho business In
terests of the country except that of
Hi nun Johnson, nnd his hopes linve
fueled to nothing. Neither is there like
ly to be any money issue raised this
year as between the Republican nnd the
Democratic parties.
All the likely Democratic candidates
for the Presidcncy-nre reasonably ac
ceptable to the business interests. Roth
parties nre to be for 111-0 essentially
conservative parties. All tho chief Re

"There Is unrest throughout the

atldress. "It Is time for us as a democ
