SPIES OF SINN FEIN
TIP BRITISH COUPS

CORK, Ireland, April THE Sim
Fein organization has established a
secret service. E-...s. ...
The leaders maintain that their
secret service is learning as much
about the other secret services as
the latter are learning about the Sim
Feiners.
Some OF the Irish constabuiary are
reported to be members OF the Sim
Fein secret service. Young Sim
Feiners of good education are en-
ployed, or rather, gave their services
free. They are working, It is said,
with the understanding that, IL they
are caught they face long term in
prison. In many cases these men
oven are suspected by the Sim Fem
ers themselves as being enemies, for
in some instances they have been
compelled to speak in public against
the movement.
In only one real instance, it is re-
ported, were the police able to bring
off a coup and that was when the
leaders of the republican movement
were arrested in the alleged German
plot The Sim Feiners admit that
the police were ahead of them in
out of the total number of warrants
issued, only one man was caught
and he at the time had no connection
with the movement. The others were
made aware of the police intentions
twenty-four hours in advance and
were able TO get away.

HAYS WOULD ADD
OSTEERING BODY

In spite OF conflicting reports with
reference to the mission here this
week Of National Chairman Hays Of
the Republican National Committee, it
developed today that he encouraged
the movement of the supporters Of
the Johnson plan to enlarge the steer
ing committee Of the House Repub-
licanS from five to Rine. -.--e
It is denied officially that Mr..
Hays came here for the purpose OF
taking q hand In the. steering COM
mittee fight But the leaders in the
effort to enlarge the committee by
adding four progressive members re-
gard him as being in sympathy with
their plan. Mr.. Hays left Washing
ton last evening.
Gillett, Longworth, Good. Johnson,
and other leaders who opposed Mann
for Speaker are backing the move
ment.
Mr.. Hays, who dined at the Long
worth home, or. rather, arrived at the
Longworth home late and just in time
for dessert, conferred while here
with leaders of both the Mann and
anti-Mann faction. He wants tosmooth
over the troubles arising from the
plan to enlarge the steering commit
tee. 1t is possible that in part as a
result Of his efforts the Mann forces
will accept the Johnson motion with
out a fight.

GABR|LOWITSCH'S
RECITAL PLEASES

An all Schumann-Chopin program
was given by Ossip Gabrilowitsch,
pianist, in recital at the National
Theater yesterday afternoon, the two
composers being alternately placed
on the program, thus affording in
teresting contrasts in them and in
their manner of presentation.
Mr.. Gabrilowitsch played witk
sparkling brilliancy, emphasizing the
technician rather than the imagina-
tive analyst He is. in fact, far from
the introspective artist. He seems,
personally, to play outside his music,
to render 1T with facility but not
with heart
The Schumann "Phantasia" in c
major is not vitality interesting. The
martial second part was crisply bril-
liant, almost brutal, in its sharply
accented delivery; but the third
part, the lento, held more of beauty,
while Mr.. Gabrilowitsch's playing of
the Schumann "Nachtstuck," + major,
for his encore brought out those COW
cred rich-bOdied tones that have so
marked his music when he seeks a
mellow quality.
He put, perhaps, the most eeffective
tone-color into the exquisite "Andan-
tino" of the Schumann sonata in G,
but something was lacking. He did
not freely bring out the melody of
his phrases nor did he vary them.
Fluency of execution was the con-
trolling factor in his renditions.
Chopin Mr.. GabTilowitsch gave in
four Etudes-a "Nocturne," F major;
the "Valse," A fiat major, and the
"Scherzo" in B minor. The c major
Etudc and that in & minor displayed
his admirable finger work and big
sweeping runs, sharply cut rather
than meIlowed. The Nalse he made
aggressive, its rhythm almost synco-
pated. marCato more than sinuous.
Much more of the lure of Chopin
he put into the encore waltz, the &
sharp minor. 1t was more in the
mood of the composer than his other
renditiOns, which somehow did not
reach the idiom Of this very idiomatic
music. As a final encore Mr.. Gabrilo-
witsch played with charm the Ra-
meau "GavOtte" i'm A major. The con-
cert was in the series presented by
Mrs. WilsOn-Greenc. J. MaCB.

Gratis might cooperate with Repub-

the present Underwood tariff law,
with the statement that he does not
believe a new tariff either necessary,
or possible, at this time.
IF the Democrats controlled the
