ANOTHER ACCOUNT

Dublin. November N-The districts in which the murders were committed were, in some instances, close together: others were separated by miles, but all the as- sassnations took place about the same hour, g o'clock in the morning. In the afternoon while football match was in progress at Croke Park. 16 lor- ries filled with auxiliary police moved
 swiftly up and surrounded the place. Accounts differ as to what happened, when after mounting machine guns on heights above, the police broke through
 the gates The auxiliaries were hooted. and according to eye-witnesses. first fired in the air and then into the crowd. It is declared from another source that
 Sim Fein pickets first fired on the gov ernment forces when they were seen ap- preaching and that the fire was re- turned.
 Within the park the great assembly of IS. 900 became panic-stricken. How many were killed is not yet known, but the estimates range from 10 to 20 or more. Several are reported to have been trampled to death.
 SYSTEMATIC WORK
 The streets of Dublin on Sunday are deserted in the morning hours. Those who had planned the murder of the off, ficers and government employees moved systemati tically to their task.

In this place two former officers were done to death They were Captain Mccormack and MT. Wilde. who are believed to have recently arrived in 1 Ireland.
 l The whole thing was executed in a 1 remarkably calm manner in few min /. utes One guest said he was standing near telephone box when suddenly
 man confronted him, presented revolver
 and ordered him to hold up his hands

 The members of the attacking party which invaded homes in various parts of Dublin, the statement asserts also searched the premises of their victims, as though seeking to secure evidence of the activity of the men slain or wounded in the enforcement of the law
 The government entertained grave ap- prehension about eventualities tonight and all precautions were taken to pre- vent reprisals by the police and mili- tary. The police barracks in Dublin were picketed to prevent the men from leaving their quarters. There were large detached forces near Dublin. how ever, which are harder to control.

A joyful Moment

Occasionally the press dispatches
contain vein of humor that is quite
refreshing. In the description OF
President-elect Harding's appearance
in the senate on the eve of his giving
up his seat, the following occurred:
"Words can scarcely convey the cor
diality of the atmosphere that fol-
lowed the speech. Perhaps one Incl
dent will make clear how thorough
it was. Senator LaFollette, stormy
radical, who fears neither senator nor
man, joined the line of those who had
not yet shaken the President-elect's
hand. Ahead of him we're clerks,
pages, members of the house. The
gallery expected to see salutation
brief and formal as LaFollette and
Harding joined hands. Instead, it
was the most convincing demonstra-
ton of affection of the afternoon.
They shook hands three times.
Harding patted LaFollette on the
shoulder. LaFollette patted Harding
on the elbow. Harding grasped the
lapel of LaFollette's coat. LaFol-
lette drummed his fingers on Hard
ing's chest-that is, he undoubtedly
thought it was Harding's chest, but
LaFollette is short man and the
point where his palm rested while
his fingers drummed was the outer
curve of Harding's convex front. It
was indeed joyful moment"
