IRISH MESSAGES
ARE GROUND FOR
TREASON CHARGE
Alleged Trips to Meet
Foe Made by O'Leary
Man to Holland.

New York, Jan. 20---.J Willard Rob-
inson. formerly a stenographer in the Of
flee of jeremiah 0Leary. is accused of
carrying messages between OLeary and
German agents in Holland in 1917, in an
Indictment for treason returned here,
today, by the federal grand jury.
Robinson. the Indictment states, went
to Rotterdam on an American tank
steamer in April, 1917, and delivered to
Frank Richards, alleged to be n Ger
man agent, correspondence from OIeary
and from Madame Marie de Victorica,
John t. Ryan and Herman Vessels, who.
with O1eary, were indicted last spring
in charges of conspiracy to commit trea-
son and espionage. In June of the same
year, it is charged, Robinson arrived
here With secret correspondence.
The messages, the Indictment states.
were in invisible ink. and one from
O'Leary and Ryan asked the German
government what assistance it could give
the fight for freedom for Ireland.
The reply to this inquiry. according
to the indictment was that. while the
German government is in sympathy with
Ireland, it suggested that action be de-
ferred until the peace conference, when
it would have support for Irish claims.
Robinson was one of the six persons
indicted last year with O'Leary on the
conspiracy and espionage charges. Nine.

oness Marie Won kretZchmann, relative
of the former German empress, and Wes-

FIGHTING FIRE
BYDEPARTMENI
Fourteen Lines of Hose Used,
and Fully so Citizens Aid in
Checking Flames.

Tha alarm for The Paris store fire
Was turned ii from box 16 at TAO and
p-ater was being turned on the blaze as
soon rs the department could get on the
ground and lay its hose. Chief Trodlcs
first attempted to enter the Paris build
fmg. but was met by smoke so dense that
the futiiity of attempting to fight the
fire from the interior was Immediately
apparent The doors were re-fastened to
prevent draft from spreading the
flames and streams were soon in opera
ton at different openings and from the
roof of the Imperial theater building.
Fourteen lines were laid and during all
of the time the fight against the fire
was in progress that many streams, back
ed by every available pound of pressure,
was PLAYED on the blaze Two additional
streams were played across First alley
north from windows IN the Ford building
and were of material assistance in pre-
venting the flames from breaking out
at the rear Of the store. Of the IA
streams directed by the department three
were attached to the pump and these,
according to Chief Trodick, were the
most effective of any. The higher pres
sure obtained thru use of the pump fore
ed water into the upper stories of the
building to a greater advantage than was
possible from the lines connected direct
" with the mains.
The entire force of the department
was on the ground, the 33 members being
largely engaged on the roof of adjoining
buildings. Several were kept busy haul
ing the heavy hose to points where It
was required and in some instances O
fireman was left in charge Of nozzle
was otherwised manned by civilians
Probably 30 citizens placed their services
at the disposal of the department and
worked at the nozzles and at other tasks
designated by the chief.
For a time it was hoped that the fire
could be confined to the building where
it originated, but about an hour after
it was discovered. an explosion within
the Davis store followed by crash of
glass and an outpourng of smoke proved
that there was no longer a chance to
save either that building or the Kenyon
& Wheeler store. Almost instantly the
interior of the jewelry store was in
flames, and few minutes later the drug
store showed q blaze that was working
It's will even more savagely than at any
other point. The combt1stible drugs,
acids and other materials In the drug
store caused the fire there to take on
an ominous aspect for few minutes
and altho it was controlled in short
space it is probably true that the interior
of that place was wiped out quicker than
either of the other stores. The drug
store building was frame structure

bly From Fear of Al

HIGH PAY HOLDS ARMY
BY WHICH TO CONTROL

Paris. Jan. 20.-Authentic informa-
tion received here. concerning recent de-
velopments in Russia. indicates that the
strength and prestige of the bolsheVlk
government at home has weakened some
what in the last few months, althos Pre-
mier Lenine and his associates have sue
ceeded in strengthening their armies and
gaining considerable military success IN
western Russia.
Premier Lenine, apprehenslve of po-
litical developments and the possibility
of vigorous allied intervention, IS re-
ported to have proposed TO the execu-
tive committee of the soviet congress
that the bolsheyki surrender. Trotzky.
Karl Radek and Foreign Minister Tchit-
cherin opposed the proposal vigorously.
However, Lenine's proposal was defeat
ed by a majority of only j. votes out
of 200 cast.
The prospect of foreign Intervention,
it is said; has brot to the bolsheyikl sup
port from elements who fear that inter-
yention might result in counter-revo-
luton and the restoration of the mon
archy. The bolshevik army Is estimated
to number 100000 men. 1t is said to be
well equipped and under complete con
troll Of its leaders. The high pay offered
BY the belsheyiki. who also coHtrnl the
food supplies. has enabied the ieaders
to maintain discipline and to attract re-
cruits.
Ii is believed here that no revolt by
the unarmed masses If northern and
northwest Russia will attain a high de
gree of success while the bolsheviki
maintain control of their army.
Withdrawal Of the Germans is consid-
cred necessary owing to the military
progress of the bolsheviki in the west,
where they are making their greaest eff
forts. Bo1shevik vanguards are operat-
ing without serious military opposition
and are reported to be within 100 miles

the old national liberal party virtually
