land on behalf of American Irish so- cieties, and correspondence relating to arranging trade relations between Ireland and the United States and other foreign countries. fell into the hands of the authorities. The be- lief was expressed in Sim Fcin quarters here tonight that nothing of an discriminating nature was found
 The Gazette tonight prints the proc lamation, signed by the lord lieuten- anet of Ireland, prohibiting and sup pressing the S1nn rem parilameht known as the 'Dail Eireann.' Ie re- fers to the proclama ton of July 3 suppressing the Sim Icino rGanization as unlawful associations. It deScrIb- es the Daily Eireann' as dangerous association and says that since July it has been employed for all the pur- poses of the then suppressed organ 1zations. The proclamation applies to the 32 counties and six county boroughs of Ireland.

 Before the censorship was abolished references to the Irish republic loan were prohibited, but recently they have been appearing freely in the news papers. Today the Cork Examiner printed a full page advertisement of the loan.
 The view held here is that the Brit ish government now intends to treat the entire Irish republican movement as seditious as being aimed at the overthrow of the kings authority. and illegal under the treason and felony act.
 Irish constitutionalists expressed the belief tonight that the oppressive ac- ton of the government will strengthen the Sim F'ein. Prominent Sim Fein- CTS asserted that it was their intention to maintain their policy of republican, ism.
 The detective killed in Dublin was named Hoey. He was shot dead at 9.50 o'clock outside the detective office in Townshend street Six shots were fired at him. Hoey had given testi- mony at several recent courtmartials an da lso had acted as one of the body guard of the lord lieutenant of Ireland. 
 The Irish parliament or "Dail Eireann" as it was known in Gaelic, was formed in Dublin January 21 by twenty five members of the Sim Fein party who had been elected to the British house of commons and who. in accordance with a resolution adopted by the society, refused to go to Westminster.
