SlNN FEN PARLIAMENT
 A ONE-DAv SENsATINN

D
 Dublin. Jan 22.-CBy The A. Pl- The Sim Fein parliament provided only d one-day sensation Its mem bers held a brief meeting at the Mar sion House this afternoon, but behind closed doors, Afterwards Count Pun kett told the reporters that a state ment of the business transacted would be furnished to the press later. thus following the precedent of the Paris conference.
 A group of a hundred young men gathered outside during the secret session, but no excitement OF any kind was hown. The public was far more interested today in the murder of two policemen in Tipperary yesterday at the time the parliament was meeting. This is taken to signify the beginning of new period of terrorism, which veteran Irish politicians expect wilt include other assassinaions and at tempts to destroy government buiId- ings and public works.
 The extremists are exceedingly anx- ious to get explosives. Two police men were guarding a cartload of ge- Ignite which was being taken to a mine when they were surrounded D masked men. The policemen were shot dead and the explosives carried off. The immediate sequel was 8 proclamation placing Tipperary under the Crimes. Act, which means a regime much like the occupied German cities are undergoing.
 All meetings are prohibited and nobody can pass in or out of the dis trict without permits. None of the residents may be outdoors after seven o'clock in the evening without a per- nit No letters may pass in or out without censorship. Enough troops were quickly sent into the district to enforce these reg IlAt1ons. The Clare district was recently pro- l claimed under. the Crimes Act, and the measure was enforced with apparent | success.
