BraUe Little Irish Girl
Runs Through Hail of
Bullets to Aid Wounded
BY Associated Press

Holyhead, via London, April 29.-
Eye-witnesses arriving here state hat
when they left Dublin Thursday night
Sackville street was completely in the
hands of the rebels and was blockaded
with barbed wire entanglements. Hun
dreds of visitors in the hotels were un-
able TO get away. Looting of shops
was in progress in many quarters and
the horses were lying dead in the
streets.
A resident of London returning from
Dublin praised the heroism of an Irish
girl l6 years old who ran from her
home like a deer in the face of a hail
OF snipers' bullets to rescue wounded
soldiers. The informant said:
She grasped a wounded soldier un-
der the arms-a stranger to her, for
he had Just arrived from England
and dragged him to where others
stood ready 10 carry him 10 q hospital.
Then back she ran for another of
the stricken soldiers. Her example
inspired scores. She repeatedly led
nurses and doctors from hospital
almost in the face of a rain of fire
from buildings to places where the
wounded lay. Loud cheers greeted
her"

ReUot Was KindIed in
Phoenix Park, Scene of
IrelGnd's Darkest Days
BY .4Ssociatsd Prcss

London. April 90. 1t was in
PhoeniX Park, the scene OF some OF
lreland's darkest days, that the first
spark of the Irish revolt was kindled,
says Daily Mail dispatch from Dub
lin. on Monday morning the so-called
citizen army held a review in the
park, paraded and marched with
loaded rifles and fixed bayonets. After
ward they were addressed by their
leaders and marched in famboyant,
Well-ordered ranks for the return to
Dublin, adds the Mail
Passing the Vice Regal Lodge in
silence, they entered the outskirts of
the town where they met some of the
troops of the Dublin garrison march
ing in the opposite direction. Two
men in the first rank of the Citizen
army leveled their rifles and fired
among the soldiers. Two officers and
several men fell. The attackers i'm
mediately flung up their arms but the
soldiers replied, killing three Sim
Feiners.
Signal For Revolt
This was the signal for a general
revolt and the news was carried like a
flash TO the heart of the city. A mes
sage to the Royal military barracks
brought the first draft of soldiers.
Owing to the fact that it was a holi-
Gay with races in progress, Dublin was
fairly empty.
Desultory firing began in different
streets, obviously with the purpose of
diverting the attention of the military
from the main objects of the rebels
attack-the post office, hotels in the
center of the city, the four courts. st.
Stephens Green and Trinity College
all of which were soon in the hands
of the rebels.

BEGIN PLANTING
TREES ON MONDAY
Several Thousand Baby Pines
Will Be Set Out on Nc
Cormick'S Island

Beginning Monday morning the first
lot of the consignment of young pine
trees donated to the clty by the State
Forestry Department will be set out
on McCormick's island
The work will be done by o. Ben.
Gipple, city forester and force, of
men from the park department.
Forces of park employees were busy
to-day sodding and lining the edges of
the park paths and clearing off the
tennis courts at Twelfth steret play
grounds. Other courts on the island
and at Reservoir did land office busi-
ness to-day.
Light Standards on Wall
The force of the Department of
Parks was engaged to-day in placing
the light standards on the lower walk
along the river from Maclay street
southwark. 1t is understood to be the
plan of the department TO place the
stretch between "Hardscrabble" and
Maclay street under closer supervi-
sion this year to prevent the destruc-
ton of the globes by young hoodlums
who will be promptly arrested If there
is a repetition of the destruction of
last season.
City Commissioner Bowman is put
ting the shrubbery around the pump
ing station at North street in attrac-
tive shape and this will again be one
of the show places of the city. Incl
dentally the ladies of the Civic Club
will lose no time in restoring the de-
lightful environment of their club
house in the same locality.
The Donate Statue
There is still hope that something
will be done in the matter of locating
the Hershey statuary. This Gift of
S25 900, it is declared by hundreds of
citizens. should not be allowed to rest
a day longer in the obscurity of the
warehouse.
+ There is widespread criticism of the
Philadelphia and Reading Railroad
Company for its failure to cooper
ate with the Department of Parks in
the construction of the subway at
Paxtang which is to make continuous
the parkway surrounding the city.

Emphasizes Organization
of Rebels and Efforts of
Leaders to Stop Riots
BY Associated Press

London, April 29-The Times pub
fishes an account of an witness of
the Dublin uprising which emphasizes
the excellent organization of the rebels
and the fairly successful efforts of the
leaders to restrain rioting. This ac-
count says:
Civilians were not molested in the
streets and much of the firing was of
blank cartridges. There was an effort
to show that the movement was
strictly military in character and
directed only against the government
not against the populace. There was
little looting, but only about ten or
twenty shops were entered. There was
no violence against private persons
and as long as you did not wear q
uniform YOU were as safe walking in
Dublin streets as in the streets of
London.
This shows a remarkable difference
from the Dublin riots two years ago.
when 1t was not safe for anybody to
walk in the streets for fear of violence
During last Mondays and Tuesdays
trouble the populace could go where
they liked. There was barbed wire
around the past office. but the senti-
nels made no effort to prevent people
who wished to do so from crawling
under the barriers.
Seize Money
'On the other hand, il was made
clear that anybody in his Majesty's
uniform would be shot at sight
Another illustration of the rebels
excellent organization was the fact
that, although food was commandeered
from big hotel. it was paid for Ac-
cording to reports, the money came
from the post office vaults, where, it
is alleged, large quantity of new
paper money was seized.
" We planned to rise simultaneously
with our Dublin comrades. but some-
thing went wrong with the arrange
ments,' said leader of the Sim Fein-
ers in Cork in an interview published
here to-day.
Prepared for Anything
We might have been in possession
OF the post office but for the fact that
the military was there first added
the leader. Now 7 do not think we
will rise here. but If thev come to de-
mand our arms. we shall shoot them
When the news Of the Dublin rising
trickled through here Monday. we all
retired to our armored barracks,
loaded our rifles, polished bayonets,
set in stores of provisions and pre-
pared for-anything

fIcm her lips-was the INSANITY of q
small section of her people once again
TO turn all her marvellous victories of
the last few years into irreparable
defeat and to send her pack, on the
very eve of her final recognition as a
free nation, into another long night of
slavery, incalculable suffering and
weary and uncertain struggling.
For look at the Irish position To-
DAY. In the short space of forty years
ireland has by a constitutional move
ment made an almost unbrokenIy tri-
umphant march from pauperism and
slavery to prosperity and freedom.
She has won back the possession of

statute books the greatest Character
OF freedom ever offered her since the
days of Grattan. Is all this to be

Constant Fusillade of
Shots by Rebels Keep
Dublin Streets Deserted

London, April ga graphic story
OF the situation in Dublin, as told by
a clergyman who got away from the
city by motor to Belfast, is printed
in the Daily Telegraph to-day.
The clergyman said there was hardly
soul to be seen in the streets Of
Dublin. The rebels had entrenched
themselves in st. Stephens Green
over night and on Wednesday morn
ing were blazing away with their
rifles. He was unable to discover at
what they were firing. All around St
Stephens Green are the houses of
gentry, judges and leading govern
mental officials, while at one corner
of the green is the Shelburne Hotel,
the occupants all of which are
virtually prisoners. At the head of
Grafton street, Dublin's fashionable
shopping thoroughfare, the rebels had
erected strong barricades. Rows of
motorcars, commandeered in the
streets the previous day, were thrown
across the road, shutting off access
to the green.
At Dublin Castle there were few
traces of Mondays struggle. The en-
trance was barred up. 1t was here
that two of the earliest fatalities oc-
CURED, the policeman on duty at the
gate of the castle and the sentry in
side, both being shot dead.
Shot At All In Uniforms
The offices OF the Daily Express and
the Evening Mail were early in the
hands of the rebels, who utilized them
as points of vantage for firing at
every man seen in uniform. An es-
tablishment on the opposite side of
the street also was captured.
To reach the city from ST. Stephens
Green, the clergyman had to proceed
by way of York street, whence it was
EASY TO go to the QuaVS. There was
nc traffic south of Fourt Courts, which
were still in the hands of the rebels
who could be seen inside wearing
their green hats. A hospital close by
had been completely wrecked and the
inmates made prisoners in the upper
rooms.
At the general post Office a green.

Washington, ID. c., April 2s.-When
the telegraph companies began cast
ing ND totals on the peace messages
that have flooded Congress this week
they found the figures staggering. The
estimate was that between 100000 and
lao. 900 would be the number. They
are still coming in, though in decreas-
ing numbers.
The cost of this enterprise is esti-
mated at S25O,0O0. This fact impelled
Senator Husting to say he would de-
mand a senatorial investigation of the
sources of the funds.
In the final rush of the last two days
the senders abandoned day and night
letters and dispatched many at straight
commercial rates. some messages cost
ing 81 or $5 each.
