Jimmy Dunn was an A. NJ. OF
Crookdom. He was an artist in
the confidence line. He never saw
a bludgeon in his life: and he
scorned knockout drops. In fact,
he would have set nothing before
an intended victim but the purest
OF drinks, If it had been possible
to procure such a thing in New
York. 1t was the ambition of
Spider" Kelley to elevate himself
into Jimmy's class.
These two gentlemen held a
conference that night at MCCra-
rvs. Kelley explained.
He's as easy as gum shoe. He's
from the Island of Colombia,
where there's a strike. or a feud.
or something going on, and
they've sent him up here to buy
1000 Winchesters to arbitrate the
thing with. He showed me two
drafts for $4,000 each, and one
for $4,000 on bank here. s
truth, Jimmy, / felt real mad with
him because he didn't have IL in
thousand dollar bills. and hand
it to me on a silver waiter. Now.
we've got to wait till he goes to
the bank and gets the money for
us"
They talked 1t over for two
hours, and then Dunn SAID:
Bring him to No. - Broadway.
at four o'clock tomorrow after
noon"
In due time Kelley called at the
Hotel EspanOl for the General.

service, Special Cable DispatchD

London. Aug. 6.-The discovery
that a ships fireman named Barry,
sailing between New York and
Liverpool, has been acting as a
mail carrier for De Valera, al
though creating a mild sensation in
Great Britain at the moment. must
not be taken as anything extraor-
dinary. This method OF communi-
eating is not new. It has been in
vogue since the early days of the
Fenian movement, and ships stew
ards and firemen have always been
the willing instruments Of secret
societies and political adventurers
in this connection. Nothing is
trusted to the ordinary Government
mail service.
Simple looking young maidens
and sometimes women of matrOnly
age and appearance act as mail
carriers with occasionally weapons
more deadly. 1t was a woman who
carried the knives from London to
Dublin that were used in the Phoe-
nix Park when Lord Frederick
Cavendish and Mr.. Burke were as
sassinated in 1SS2.
London and Liverpool are at the
moment the distributing centers
for this secret service. Great Brit
ain is honeyCOmbed With organiza-
ttOns Ostensibly open but in reality
working on a secret basis. Many of
the members OF the ordinary trade
unions are, quietly, members of the
Self Determination League and
quite a number of them can be
traced as having been active in the
ranks of the 4. W. W" both in
America and on the continent.
The threatened breach between
the Irish and English Trade Union
lists is due to the fact that the Il
W. W" element in England desired
to force the pace in the interest of
Sim Fein. while Thomas of the
Railway Workers and Clyves Of the
y. L. G.. Workers refuse to enCOur-
age anything approaching revolu-
