Knickerbocker ICE Company MARY MacSWINEY RECOVERING AFTER LONG HUNGER STRIKE Freed oh 23d Day, Her Condition Is Better Than That of Sister Annie. Dublin, Nov. 28 (By the Associated Press) Miss Mary MucSwiney, who was released from Mountjoy prison yesterday, the 23d day of her hunger strike, met her sister Annie in a private hospital in this city last evening.

Annie, weakened by several days of fasting outside the prison gates, collapsed when she saw her sister, but quickly recovered and was taken to another hospital on a stretcher. The order for Alary MacSwiney's release was issued by the Provisional Government to the military author-. Hies, who acted promptly. The release came, as surprise to the citizens generally, although it hud been expected in well infoVmed circles. Today the condition of Mary MacSwiney was described as being as good as could be looked for.

She was excited and feverish, but phyiselans expressed belief that her recuperation would be only a question of, a little time. Her condition, in fact, "was considered niueh better than that of her sister, Annie, whose fast outsldo the prison was more trying. In tho private hospital to which Annie wa.s taken she revived soon afterward. She was in a weak condition, but greatly excited and elated over her sister's release. Shortly after 9 o'clock she had recovered sufficiently to bo able to take a morsel of dry toast and tea.

A reporter for the Irish Independent who interviewed Annie quoted her as saying that after 3 or 4 days a hunger striking person loses all desire for food, but that the feeling of hunger is followed by an almost intolerable weakness or general indifference.

GREENWOOD rated at Miss Harvey's private school and later at the age of 18 graduated from the Hrooklyn Heights Seminary under Dr.

Charles K. West, winning highest honors nnd acting as valedictorian of her class. Dr. West pronounced her one of the most brilliant pupils he ever bad known as well as a woman in whom the qualities of spiriiuaiity, liumanitarlanism and Christian character were beautifully blended. As a preacher of the Gospel in numerous churches and missions; as a platform lecturer in all the principal cities and innumerable small towns throughout the United States; as the intensively active propagandist of tho World's Woman's Christian Tern, pernnce I'nion and in innumerable other humanitarian and religious capacities for nearly 40 years Miss Greenwood drew so generously upon her strength that in 1914 she suffered a breakdown which made her a semi-Invalid and forced her virtual retirement from active work in the field.

For the past, eight or nine years she hail been forced to curtail her active interests in (he varied crusades to which she gave her life, but to the last she read magazines of current events faithfully and insisted upon keeping thoroughly abreast of the. linu and upon following the modern Ireiid of thought which she had helped to mold in no small degree. Miss Greenwood wa.s keenly Interested in woman's suffrage and was one of its early pious ih this country.

Her remarkable quickness and versatility, her culture and her consecration admirably adapted her to the variety of methods in the Woman's Christian Temperance Union. as an evangelist in her own citv and a lecturer upon literary and oilier themes, her wor extended through Its own success, throughout the Nation.

At 14 jears of age she was reading Gibbon's" "llomu," Hume's "F.ngland "History of the Reformation" and "Science ami Poetry" under the stately elms at the old Ward homestead. In comparatively recent years Miss Greenwood was superintendent of the New York State Department of Temperance Instructions in Schools nnd Colleges, a position she was instrumental in creating through her tireless efforts to bring about the law warranting it. Miss Greenwood made a strenuous campaign in favor of tho bill, which carried her all over the State of New York, and ulie worked for it otherwise upcenslngly.

JURY ACQUITS WERNZ OF MAN-TRAP KILLING f.S'pcciaZ fo The. lUwlr.) Kiverhead, L. Nov.

2S A jury in the Suffolk County Court yesterday acquitted George M. Wernz, charged with the death of Frank Kiser, 14, a neighbor's son, who was killed by a gun man-trap rigged on the Islip home of Wernz JiWuQ-d against prowlers. The jury was out less than half an hour. The evidence showed that young Eiser was climbing in through a window during the absence of Wernz on May 28 last. The gun was so rigged that opening the window would pull the trigger and fire tho weapon.

The Kiser boy was fatally shot. On the. stand tho boy's father, Joseph Kiser, stated he was planning to bring a civil suit against Wernz for $10,000 damages. The Wernz attorney, William H. Hobbins, maintained that the boy's death was justifiable homicide, since young Kiser had been killed in the act of committing a felony.

He declared that the gun had been rigged to protect Wernz. and his property. Tho Jury agreed, with tho defendant. F. D.

REPARATIONS CRUX OF BRITAIN'S LABOR PROBLEM-MCDONALD Chairman of Commons Opposition Declares the Two Issues Are Inextricably Linked. By WIM-IAM II SSF.TT. fill Cable to The llrauklim and 1'hila.

Ledrier; l'ipirnht 1J .) London, Nov. 28 There can be no real settlement of England's problem of unemployment apart from reconsideration of the whole question of Gtrmun reparations. That declaration was made in an exclusive interview given to your correspondent today by James ltatn-say MacDonald, chairman of Ine now powerful Labor party and leader of the Opposition to the Government in the Commons, who outlined the position which Labor would assume when the debate on unemployment is reached the latter part of this week. Incidentally Mr. Maclionald served notice that the.

issue of a capital levy as a means of paying the British national debt will, like Hanquo's ghost, haunt the halls of Parliament until the law government litnls an alterna tive course. Commons will debate 1 1n- unemployment question as soon as the Irish constitution has been disposed of. Mr. MacDonald and his colleagues will hold Bonar Law's goveriiinunt, as the dominant party in the late coalition, responsible! for the presi nt utu'inploy-ment throughout the country. Like wise the government will be de nounced for its failure to bring forward nt this time any proposal for adequate or equitable treatment of the victims of the policy of the coalition government during the last four years.

Issues Inseparably inked. "Unemployment must be eon.fi. 1 ered along with Gorman reparations and the whole problem of International trade and economics," said Mr. MacDonald, "and I shall take it up to show the world there can be no solution of the British problem of unemployment 3 part from a complete readjustment of economic life in Middle Europe. "There must be definite and final settlement of the exact amount Germany must pay.

Then there must be definite arrangements for payment. It must be settled whether there is to be a moratorium and an international loan; whether Germany shall make her arrangements by herself or whether there shall be another international conference such as Genoa. Our unemployment problem Is inex tricably interwoven with all these problems and can be solved only as they are solved. "As to Labor's general position in Parliament, it must be remembered that for the lirsl time in history we control the Opposition, The capital levy which started as a menace in the campaign was our greatest asset in the elections. We shall continue its advocacy and shall force Mr.

Law to propose an alternative or admit lie has none. "The new Tory government, which is permeated with reaction and refuses absolutely to attack our big financial problem except on the basis of income and expenditure, is the one that is pointing the way to Red Kits-sin. it is not the Labor Party. We have policy that would save England from just what has overtaken Russia. "We expect no sympathy or encouragement from the Liberals, and expect Lloyd George will make al Ithe trouble possible for us.

I'ltimately not. this week or next I expect' to see all the Liberals on th" Left, but they not help Labor. Hut Rabor ranks nr-solid and thoroughly united. "Although we are second in membership in the House, we realize our strength throughout the country for the election showed we have four votes to the Conservatives' five. This emphasizes how uncertain is the majority of the Tory Governmetn and at the same time increases labor's responsibility." MUSSOLINI BACKS ALLIES ON TURKEY Home, Xov.

28 (By tho Associated Press) Premier Mussolini is giving special attention to Italy's foreign policy.

Finally, on the question of Gorman reparations, Mussolini agrees with France that Germany must pay. C.

'A census of the milk companies in Brooklyn sliows tho price will be. advanced 1 cent a quart on each gt'ado of milk, and cream will cost 2 centB more per halt' pint The failure of thi! farmers to produce -nough milk to meet tho needs of the consumers is tho cause of the prico increase, say tho dealers. Milk company heads say they have appealed to the farmers to give heavier feed to their cattle and pay more attention to the production of milk. While the price of cream has been advanced by the farmers 4 cents on the half pint the dealers are planning to sell it at only a 2-cetit increase. Borden's Farm Products Company, announces its advance in price as follows: Grade A milk, from 18 to 19 cents; Grade 15 to 18 cents, and cream, 30 to 32 cents.

of the company attribute the shortage to the fact thut tho late summer has kept tho cows in pasture, too long. The Sheffield Farms Company, fixes its new prices nt Grade 10; Grade 16, and cream, 32 cents. The High Grrfund Dairy Company's prices are the same as those of the Sheffield people.
