Mass Also at St. Mary's. Nothing but the weather will interfere with the celebration of St. Patrick's day in Butte and it will be the severest kind of a day to even in the slightest degree interfere with the plans arranged by the hardy sons and daughters of Erin to properly observe the day. Last night the general committee on the celebration announced that the plans for the parade and other features were well along and that it would be the best demonstration of patriotism that has ever been staged in Butte. There are two notable church services to start of the day. The first will be at St. Mary's church at 8 o'clock when a special mass will be celebrated by the Most. Father Narcisse of Drummond. At 10:30 there will be held the pontifical high mass celebrated by Bishop Carroll at St. Lawrence's church in honor of the silver jubilee of the Rev. F. X. Batens, pastor of the church. At 11 o'clock Father Batens will be the guest of honor at a breakfast given by the Butte Silver Bow club and which will be attended by priests from nearly every parish in the diocese. **Starts at 2:30.** At 2:30 the parade will start. Chief Marshal Timothy O'Leary said that the start will be made on time no matter what the conditions are. Anaconda is coming to Butte strong. At the head of the parade will be former soldiers.

Each organization will carry the American flag as well as the tricolor of the Irish republic, together with the banners of the various and different organizations participating.

The speaker responding to the introduction delivered an eloquent address. "Let us remember," said Judge Jackson, "some of the services that have been rendered to this nation, this state and this city by the men of our race." He reviewed the contributions to the upbuilding of the state of such men as D. J. Hennessy and others, and declared that Irish men were American citizens in the spirit of spirit before they were anything else. He declared that on the part men of Irish birth had taken the most loyal support of those who looked against men who do not readily brook any criticism of the government. "All we want is a square deal. We do not propose to be second class citizens, the men of Irish blood in America don't want to enjoy any rights and immunities in this country that men of other races enjoy, and they propose to have them." The conclusion of Judge Jackson's address was greeted with warm applause. **Judge Lynch.** Judge J. V. Lynch received an ovation when Toastmaster Norton called upon him. He declared that the banquet of the Friendly Sons of St. Patrick was not an affair for only men to be called on. Mr. Norris said, speaking as a banishing community is complete unless he was heard from. Judge Lynch declared that through the medium of the Irish-American response to calls from all parts of the co-making citizens. "I had something to do with the beginning of the A. O. H." he said. John J. O'Meara and M. J. English were largely connected with it. He declared the organization was abandoned in 1914 to be revived this eve-ning. "Never in any of our struggles there was so much good fellowship, friendliness and brotherly-heartedness as the present occasion." Judge Lynch affirmed that he was proud to be an Irish man and cited the Irish republic which affirmed the same sort of statement as this should be. "It is altogether fitting," he said. "Americanism should be the battle cry of all the officers of the American of our organization. The same reason that the British brigades of France crossed the seas is the same reason Irishmen should fight for American independence." "As an Irish man I feel the deep desire for France. That debt has never been repaid." He recalled the story of the Irish brigade that had fought under the command of French officers. The soldiers requested that they be sent to America for service there. They were sent. "We are here of a right," he said, "and we are going to be heard. We fought in every American way. We have made our contributions to the brain in the development and perpetuation of the republic and it is the republic of the United States and not only to the republic of Ireland. May they always stand for both." **Frank Walker.** Frank C. Walker was next introduced as a young man of great ambition whose sympathies with and understanding of Irish affairs were more than ordinary. He delivered a clever semi-humorous address in which he alluded somewhat slyly to references to Judge Lynch, Father O'D. Barry and Timothy O'Leary, the latter official he had been referred to as a typical Irishman from Walkerville. Mr. Walker said the remark of the evening, it was one of approbation. "I find myself in hearings no quarrel with it as implications of division among peoples. Irish-Americanism has no sacrifice of loyalty to the American government since the principles to which Ireland is dedicated are the same," and accepted "the approbation without apology or protest." **R. R. Kilroy.** R. R. Kilroy was called on to respond to a toast of "Our Cork." He was received with enthusiasm. Mr. Kilroy said: "I am proud to be announced from the County Cork. I am proud to be mourned as a Protestant rebel from rebel Cork—for Cork—rebel Cork was the county in Ireland. 89 per cent Catholic. But always Protestant rebel is Terence MacSwiney who lies dead and in the shrine the Irish people will probably count on him in the same Green will be found side by side with Terence MacSwiney whom they loved and honored—Protestant Patrick and Catholic MacSwiney." "I came from Cork," said Mr. Kilroy, "and myself were among the first students under the origin of Ireland's national university in Dublin. Let me say for anyone in Ireland holy degree, that of one thousand students in that University, I never looked at a fight or struck a blow. Scholarship is a hallmark of patriotism. Bigotry was unknown, prejudice is weakness of the vulgar, cultured Ireland knows no creed. "When Cork city was burned a year ago by British troops, as was the city of Louvain, a little city a century ago by British troops, Corkman ask myself what was happening at that time of the burning of those buildings. We were fighting over there. We were fighting for the same reason and the same reason that the British brigades of France crossed the seas; the people of Ireland, like the people of Poland, Czecho-Slovak and other races, were fighting like free men for a free government." "The great company in Ireland who love this grand free country of ours and feel patriotism and love of institutions, comes the same joy at when we look at the Stars and Stripes as when we read of Banner Hill and Lexington." "I can remember when at a hotel in San Francisco a major of France's invader came and asked an interview to get his name. He knew Ireland of no greater honor, no place in France and declared his belief in its organization. I can say my native land is Ireland and I confess that I know no greater pleasure tonight than in the spirit when a Frenchman asked me why he was so enthusiastic about the American service. 'Ireland and America.' "In five years of warfare" said he, "the allies of Ireland's republic never enlisted a traitor." "The so-called republic of a French-man—citizen of the republic in France—our organization of Irishmen had never enlisted a traitor with the slickering—Maeghir, whom Montana did not know, as a traitor—those same men stand today—Maeghir of the same republic from Cork who was styled in Montana as a typical perpetrator—same MacSwiney—MacSwiney—what an Irishman is always doing." **Judge J. V. Dwyer.** Judge Dwyer responded from the toastmaster compliment, by saying he "started in the schools at which the banqueters cheered heartily, reminisced the story of an Irishman's birth and descent in the development of the United States. **Those Who Attended.** A partial list of the banqueters showed an attendance of 44 guests, several coming after the roster had been made up, could not be detailed. A sumptuous banquet was served to the music of Irish and American music, the airs of either land being greeted with equal enthusiasm. Following is the list of guests previously mentioned, together with descriptions of those with whom they claimed Ireland as their birth place.

O'D. Barry was greeted with enthusiasm. The man who loyally put Ireland on the map of the world, Father Barry said, was him whom they had met to honor. M. O'Leary was acclaimed one of the world's greatest benefactors. He declared that the first Irish man hanged in the United States was hanged for mercy. He told them "The truth will always triumph. It may be temporarily preferred to night," likewise "the same reason that Americans have respect for constituted authority." From them fighting in the war he said, "Let them give up this fight to the martyrs of Easter week and regard the Republic of Ireland. Let judge for themselves what course to pursue in the good road ahead." "Let him be," said "by being the best possible Irish-Americans, living up to the traditions of this great country," he said, "who sneers at American ideals, is a traitor to Ireland." **Senator Gallwey.** Harry Gallwey was accorded one of the ovations of the evening. He was introduced as a descendant of one of the Irishmen who built the U. S. and who found greater success in the West of men of Irish birth and descent. He spoke of his native land and said: "Some may not know it, but Galway has not yet arrived at its golden age." Dr. T. J. Staley spoke briefly. Father O'D. Barry was then introduced as one of the new type of old-time leaders, telling him what his services is a convention without making himself heard. Mr. Dan Sullivan, president of the Silver Bow National bank, was introduced as the son of a distinguished patron of Martin Daly—as one of the regents of the state university and whose word was always good. Mr. Walsh said "I am proud enough to stand with this group," adding he said "with this bunch behind anything standing for the honor of the country." Mr. Phil Giraldi, another personal friend of Martine Daly, spoke feelingly of the man who started the infuse- ## Column 3 [GENERAL COMMITTEE ON ST.

Fred Rosh, senior counsel for the defense, completed his argument this morning. He recognized Mrs. Obenchain's plight, tracing tears to her eyes as she sat beside him. He asked the jury to return a verdict that "would open the barred doors for this unhappy sufferer." He said they would "send her away to Montana or back to freedom where she could grow old and wait with what patience she when her time should come her soul would join that of her lover, J. Alton Kennedy." ## WOMAN SPURNED STATE DECLARES ### Attorney Insists Mrs. Obenchain Brought About Kennedy Killing. *(Continued from Page 1.)* ## PROCLAIM FUAD KING OF EGYPT ### Independence and Sovereignty of Nation Announced to World. *(Continued from Page 1.)* LONDON, March 16.—The delay in the appointment of Viscount Elles Montagu as secretary for India and the publication of a letter from him urging a plan for Sir Hamar Greenwood. The government's dissatisfaction with the state of affairs and the relations of provisional government in Ireland are associated with the delay described as by Premier Lloyd George, although he himself could be under the various telephonic consultation with his ministers in London. The premier's position are current, one being that the provisional government of the Free State bill in the house of lords, the other that it will fail at the "die hards" proposing to amend and so to wreck it. The bill in the commons passed through in the face of the die hards voted, it is reported, to die hards who are going to resign, and appeal to the country on this Irish question. The house of lords passed the second reading of the bill through discussion today apart from Lord Carson's support to his fellow tory protesting coalition government, but did not present its passage in the lords. ## PASSES SECOND READING. ## REPORT ON BONUS FILED BY FORDNEY ### Estimated Cost of Putting Bill in Operation Is Four Billion. *(Continued from Page 1.)* ible for compensation would accept adjusted service certificates; 1¼ cent vocational training aid; 1½ per cent for additional home aid, and 7¼ per cent for farm and home aid, making 10 per cent would be paid out in cash.
