DUBLIN QUIET
AFTER R|OT|NG
All Train Service in and Out
of Irish Storm Center Was
Resumed This Morning.
MILITARY IS ACTIVE
Strong Patrols Man Every
Bridge Leading in and Out
of City--CurfeW Observed

BY The Associated Press.
DUBLIN, Nov. 23-All train serv-
ice in and out of Dublin were re-
sumed this morning after the city
had passed a night OF quietude fol-
lowing Sundays bloodshed and raid
ing activities yesterday. The curfew
law was strictly obeyed.
The night. however. did not wit
ness any let-up in the work of the
military, who were continuing their
minute search OF the city. presum-
ably for suspects in connection with
Sundays assassination. Before the
curfew hour several of the streets
were surrounded by barbed wire
barriers, and the soldiers examined
all persons passing.
Strong military patrols manned
every bridge and road running out
of this city last night. All avenues
4 egress and ingress were closed,
and even persons holding permits
were not allowed to pass the lines
drawn through the outskirts of the
city. Reports reaching the center of
Dublin during the night indicated
that virtually the whole military es-
tablishment in this district of Ire
land was maintained in this Gordon.
Late in the night the strict guards
placed around the city made abso-
lutte the paralysis of traffic in and
out of Dublin, which was begun
when orders were issued Sunday sus-
pending all service.
Meanwhile soldiers were conduct
ing scores of raids throughout the
city. reports reaching newspaper Of
fees showing that all classes and
types of residences and other prem
ises were being searched. From
early in the morning this work went
on and reports came in quick sue
cession of scores of raids, attended
by more than the usual amount of
incidental clashes.
1t seemed certain that many cas-
ualtiec had marked the days activi-
ties
The thoroughness about which
the Gordon about the city was drawn
and raids conducted. led those in
close touch with the situation to
believe the military authorities were
determined to arrest the party re-
sponsible for the murder of fourteen
officers Sunday. Streets in the down
town section OF Dublin were thickly
peopled early in the evening by small
knots of citizens, who were discuss
ing the situation and expressing feai
that the reign of terror had MOI
ended.
AS a consequence of the advance
ment of the curfew hour to 1C
o'clock, the crowd soon dwindlet
and a little after 3 o'clock there
were scarcely q person abroad.

by special correspondent.

a dramatic moment in the cham Der
of the Court of Errors and Appeals

raigned by the judges for what they

ordered steps taken against McDer-
mits status as a practitioner which
may finally lead to his disbarment.

Dermit took out some time ago 10

matter being a capital punishment
case is one of Importance and that
Brandon had been sentenced to
death, but no action had been taken
by McDermit in prosecuting the
writ.
Immediately the members of the
errors court asked McDermit ques-
tions as to why he had not appeared
at The opening of the term and close
up the matter.
"You have had enough experience
In capital cases to know that you
Inlist have a writ of error returnable
on the first day of the opening of the

pointed out the chief Justice.
THAT fact has been impressed
upon you before and yet you abso-
lutely neglect your clients interest
in this case of life or DEATH"
The lawyer, who has represented
many persons charged with murder
in the past, replied that his client
did not have money enough to pay
the costs of carrying the case up
and that friends were collecting ir
New York for him. The chief JUS
tice pointed out that under legis
lative act the county of Union could
pay for the necessary expenses.
Justice Swayze declared the mere
legal procedure involved was not a
important as the more serious ques
