BRITISH SOLD|ERY
OFTEN OUTW|TTED
By S|NN FE|NERS
One Police Barracks Is Taken
Without Firing Shot-Reb-
els Display Quick Action
and Thinking.
BY o. o'coNNEEL.
Especial Correspondent international
News Service.)

| DUBLIN, Oct. 1.-THE exploit of
County Fermanagh) Police barracks
without as much as firing a shot
brings to mind some of their daring,
clever coups.
At Belleek a party of Irish re-
publicans drove up to the local police
barracks, which was fortified by
sandbags and barbed wire, while the
defenders were we'll provided with
bombs, rifles and ammunition. To
take such a place by a frontal at
tack might have been a long and
costly business for the raiders and
so they decided on trick, Disguised
as soldiers they knocked at the door
and were admitted as friends. The
audacity of the Vancouver was COM
pletely successful. Inside the building
it only required the twinkling of an
eye to overpower the police, bind
them and lock them in an clubhouse.
All the rifles, bombs, revolEers and
ammunition were seized by the Sim
Feiners, who escaped in their wait
ing automobiles. The raid was per-
fectly timed, inasmuch as part of
the police garrison was out at mass
at the time, and as a preCaution
against llSlI JOlillllB IllclI COlhlduCo
the church doors were locked.
Another similar feat was carried
out the other night in Dublin. A num-
Der of detectives were watching a
house where a badly wanted Sim
Fem member of parliament was
staying. There was no chance of
escape, the place was watched from
all tides and it was only a matter
of some hours when darkness set in
that a party of soldiers would arrive
to make the arrest. A military truck
did arrive with khaki clad soldiers in
it fully equipped with tin hats and
all, but they were>not English SOL
diers; they were just Sim Feiners
sailing under strange colorS. The
officer of the party asked one of the
plain clothes men to accompany him
to make the search and capture. This
was actually done, and without any
hurry they put the handouts on their
man and shipped him off in the auto.
Before starting, however, the officer
gave instructions to the detectives to
continue their watch on the house
The real arresting party did arrive
some time later and the chagrin of
both military and police can be i'm
agined when they found their prey

j. ]. Walsh, one of the Sim Fem
members of parliament, tells me two
amusing stories Of how he evaded
capture. On one occasion he was in
his shon.in Dublin, where he runs a
tobacconist and barber business. The
military had come for him and was at
the door. To dash out into the street
or attempt to climb along the roof
was out of the question. so Walsh
slipped into the BARRIERS shop at the
rear of the place and got one of the
assistants to slip towel about his
neck and lather up. You can bet
soap was never put on so thick as it
was then. The police officers and
military actually entered the place
and stood within a few feet of him
and never guessed the truth. They
departed without making the cap
ture.
Walsh had run of few months
after that before he was captured

COTTON MEN ASK
WILSON To FIRE
CABINET MEMBER
Georgia Division of ASsoCia-
ton Charges Houston With
"UnfriendIy Attitude To-
ward Agriculture"

ATLANTA, Ga, Oct. 16.-President
wilson was called upon to remove
secretary Houston, of the treasury
department, from office because Of
his "persistently unfriendly attitude
toward agriculture" in a resolution
adopted by the Georgia division of
the American Cotton association at
its annual meeting here today.
The resolution, which was adopted
after a half hours discussion. makes
the Following complaint against Sec
rotary Houston:
That he started1the raid on cotton
in September, 1918, with an interview
declaring that rs cents pound was
a fair price for cotton, when 1t was
then selling for IS cents; that his
well known unfriendly attitude to-
ward the agricultural interests while
he was secretary of agriculture caus-
ed the farmers OF the country to OBJ
Ject strenuously to his appointment
as secretary OF the treasury, but these
objections were disregarded by Presi-
dent Wilson; that since his appoint
ment as head of the treasury de-
he has continued his I'M
friendly attitude toward agriculture
by issuing statements and propa-
ganda to reduce the price of farm
products, and has continued this
so persistently and eff
fectively that the price of cotton and
other agricultural products has de-
clined below the cost of production,
thereby causing the loss of millions
OF dollars to the farmers OF the
United States"
Other resolutions adopted embodied
recommendation for meeting the
present crisis in the cotton market.
These were:
That farmers everywhere exert
themselves to STAN pout night riding.
That the government revive the
war finance corporation to
open the cotton markets of Central
Europe.
That the federal reserve board
make clear to banks the term "or-
derby marketing"
That no cotton be sold under any
for less than cost OF
That cotton acreage for 1921 be
reduced so per cent. and If farmers
in the meantime fail TO obtain a
profitable price, then that no cotton
NJ all be planted next year.

and IS months ago he was tried by
court martial and sentence of
six years Is hanging over him. The
day following his trial he with 20
others, escaped from the famous
Mountjoy prison-a regular old bas-
tile of place-and since then he has
been on the run. Today he was tell
ing me of CLOSE shave" he had
when in the North of Ireland last
week in his uto-bike. The authori-
ties got wind he was in the district
and every road was watched. At
Portadown the police got him, but
Walsh decided to brazen 1t out. He
told them he knew the man they were
after, but were they not mistaken in
taking him to ] j., Walsh? He pro-
duced his driverS license, which was.
OF course, in some other name. How
ever, the officers had their, suspic-
ions and marched hiGl to the bar
racks and held him for four hours.
What really got him away was a
photo of himself with his autograph
which he had with him. The picture
was so unlike Walsh's face that the
police when shown this picture be-
came conveyed they had the wrong
man and let him go. 1T was" said he
six years for me only for that"
When Mr.. De Valera cleared out to
the United States very simple trick
put the police off the scent. Plain
clothes men Swallowed him to the
shipping agents at Dublin when he
was about to cross to England to
join his boat there for New York
De Valera stood in the queue and
when his turn came to purchase his
ticket he presented twenty pound
note. The clerk apologized for not
having change, but the Irish repub-
lican leader, knowing that his con-
versation was being listened to all
the time, said: Oh, that's all right;
I'll be back on Thursday" That
Thursday is a long time coming, but
it won a clear passage to America
for De Valera. The detectives took
it for granted that he was only going
to England for a few days and re-
Taxed their vigilance.
Thousands of other such cases
could be quoted of how Sim Feiners
beat the authorities. The simplest
and most obvious way is oftentimes
the best.
