night Of sanguinary fighting between
Sim Fein and Unionist mobs, but the
situation was tense and the military,
with armored cars, were patroling the
affected areas. Rain was falling and
II was hoped this would prove deter
rent to further rioting.
Casualties reported last night were
two men and one woman killed and
twenty persons treated at hospitals for
serious gunshot wounds. Many wounded
did not report to hospitals. Fifty four
arrests were made.
The primary cause Of the trouble Is
believed to be the recent murder OF
Colonel Smyth in Cork, as many men
employed at Belfast came from Balm
bridge, which was Smyth's native town.
The rioting began yesterday after a
number Of Sinn Fein employees of Har-
land e. VOLTS shipyards were at
tackled.
Sim Feiners are said to have besieged
a number Of Orangemen in a mill for
two hours late yesterday, capturing
them later and beating them. A few Of
the Orangemen were rescued by troops.
When police and troops attempted to
separate the combatants, the Sim Fcin
attacked them with stones and other
missiles. The police charged with drawn

clubs and temporarily dispersed the
rioters. But they reassembled and the
Falls Road and Sandy Row districts
again were thrown into uproar. The
soldiers fred over the heads of the mob.
Barbed wire barriers were then hur-
riedly raised by the military.
A half dozen saloons were broken
open, liquor and furniture were thrown
into the streets and the premises set on
fire. The soldiers eventually succeeded
In surrounding the district and posted
machine guns, preventing anybody from
entering or leaving the area.
This morning the workers returned
to the shipyards as though nothing had
happened, although the trouble was
started in the yards yesterday after a
Of Sinn Fein employees had been
attacked. The authorities believe they
have the situation in hand.
Unofficial estimate places the property
damage and looting done by the mob at
f100, 900.

A MIRACLE IN CONCERT

Monday evening by Leola Lucey, the
famed Irish Soprano" Of New York
Cabaret and former noted prima

Miss Lucey but two sang TO the
spellbound audience. This phenome-
non was accomplished by means OF
a graceful cabinet, which stood on
the stage beside the artist and match

In the midst Of Miss Lucey's ini-

went on. Slowly it dawned on the as

no longer singing. though her voice
came forth 10 them As clear and sweet
as before. Again she sang, and the
audience only knew Il was the Nv

seemed as II there were two artists

one voice. For the tones which came
from the New Edison matched those

that II was impossible 10 detect any

and its original.
The climax Of the Miracle Con-
cert" came with the darkening Of the
room during one Of Miss Lucey's se-
lections. The audience depended up
on It's powers OF hearing alone in de-
termining whether her voice came in
double volume or only from the New
Edison. n
At first everyone doubted his own
ability to Judge. but as her previous
proofs were forgotten in the spell
Of the song, the audience became
more and more convinced that no
instrument could sing as this voice
was singing. and that Miss Lucey
was making no more pauses in her
own performance. Suddenly the
lights were snapped on. The audi
ence was astonished to discover that
Miss Lucey was not on the stage and
that the New Edison had furnished
the song alone.
II was as though two artists with
the same tone-quality. the same ex-
preston. the same timbre, were
singing together. The effect was
somehow unreal and weird, rs though
one singer had been bewitched into
two by some magician's art.
