New York, Oct. 15.-All fronts in
the drive for the scalp of Ban John

ported quiet.
The forces of Colonels Rupert and
Huston and their aides, Owners Comis-
key and Frazee, are marking time
while Judge Wagner of the supreme
court is preparing a decision in the
Mays injunction case.
Meanwhile, a score or more Yankee
players have palms itching for their
divvy of third place money, which has
been held up by the protest of the
Tiger boss, Frank Navin.
While the big guns in the fight have
been silent for some time, the Yam
KEGS have been undergoing a harass-
ing fire from the Detroit fort. Navin
has been proving himself a thorn in
the side of the two colonies. First he
protested a double header played on
the Polo grounds in September Then,
when Miller Huggins and his black
hosed tribe were looking thru cataIogs

of the day was given over to discus

 Documents Are ConfiScated

DUBLIN, Sept 12 (By the Asso- ciated Press)-Following closely upon a speech delivered by Viscount French, lord lieutenant and governor general of Ireland, at Belfast, Thurs day in which it was declared that the British government would not hesitate to resort to drastic steps to maintain law and order in Ireland, the authorities today proclaimed the suppression of the Sim Fein parlia- ment and Sim Fein organizations throughout Ireland.
 Raid Homes.
 A series of raids and searches for arms and documents were maid in the local Sim Fein headquarters in numerous towns in addition to. Dub lin, among them Cork, Belfast, Cal way and Londonderry. Two promin- ent Sim Fein members of the house of commons were arrested and the residences of many persons of Sim Fein leanings in Dublin and other places were searched.
 Slight Disorders.
 There were slight disorders in few places but no reports of serious resistance to the raiders have been received. A detective was shot and killed in Dublin.
 In the raids some arms and ex- plosives were found. Large quanti- ties of documents and Sim Fein literature were seized, notably in Dublin, where every copy of the re- port of Frank P. Walsh and Edward F. Dunne, who investigated condi- tions in Ireland on behalf of Ameri- can Irish societies fell into the hands of the authorities.

L. Doheney, head of the Mexican Petroleum com pany, who informed the committee yesterday regarding monthly tribute exacted from the oil companies by PalaeZ.
 MT. Smith, whose properties are south of Tanpico near Tuxpam, said that Palaez had collected money from his company since April, 1917, and that like the Mexican petroleum company, the Penn-Mex company had appealed to the state department and Ambassador-Des Arredon- do, only to receive the advice to 'pay since there appeared nothing else to do." Smiths statement that no seri- out effort appeared to have been made by Carranza to regain control of the district was the result of a question by Senator Brandegee, who
