DUBLIN, Jan. 17.-Sirn Fein has
triumphed, as predicted, in the mu-
ncipal elections. Throughout Ireland
it has gained in representation under
the proportional representation system
tried for the first time in Thursday 3
contests.
Despite the fact that the new sys-
tenn was designed to give minorities q
greater representation, the Sim Fein
organization succeeded in electing
more than 70 per cent OF its candidates,
and the tabulated figures of the final
results are certain to show further
gains. In Dublin alone forty-three
Sim Feiners were returned-more than
ali the other parties put together.
The proportional representation sys-
TEN worked with surprising smooth
ness, considering tho volatile tcmpera-
ment of the population. Less than
per cent OF the votes cast were spoiled
Of $4,000 ballots cast only COG had tc
be thrown out. One of the most sur
prising features of the election was the
absolute calmness with which it toos
place.
Among the Sim Feiners returned tt

All Sim Fein members of Parlia
ment were elected in municipalities II
which they entered the contests. Mrs
F. Sheedy-Sk fington and Mrs. Tom
Clarke, widow of the executed repub-
lican leader, were among the success
full women candidates.
Throughout Ireland generally tht
returns show an irresistible combina
ton of Sim Fdin and labor. Unionis
and Nationalist leaders admit defeat
but profess satisfaction that the pro
portiona representation system pre-
vented Sim Fein from obtaining
complete grip on the ioca! electora
machinery which they fear the ole
system would have given.
Nevertheless the strength Of the
Sim Fein organization as demonstrates
in the elections is considered strik
ing evidence Of it's power and will have
an important effect on the develop
ments in Ireland in tho near future.
As far as local affairs are concerned
the Sim Fein organization has nov

ing Case; Hotel Denies 1t

A dressing case containing jewels,
valued at more than $4,000 dsap-
peared with a taxicab from in front of
the Hotel Chatham, it became known
yesterday.
The valuables belong to Mrs. William
H. Derbyshire, Of 1929 Nineteenth
Street, Washington, D. c., and although
search for the case by city and pri-
vate detectives has been going on for
more than two weeks no trace of it
has been found.
Mrs. Derbyshire says, according to
reports from Washington, that she ar
rived at the hotel from the Pennsyl-
vania Station in taxicab on December
28 and asked bellboy to take her
dressing case while she halted to paw
the driver. When she went to the desk
get any case and knew nothing about
it. The taxicab had disappeared.
E. S. Wilbank, manager of the
Chatham. said yesterday that Mrs
Derbyshire came to the hotel in ga
fly night taxi" known as pirate, >
which had no connection with the
Pennsylvania Station. When Mrs
Derbyshirc alighted, he said, bellboy
went out to assist her. Witnesses, he
declared, saw Mrs. Derbyshire close
the door and pay the driver, while the
boy stood by waiting for instructions
The lad was not asked, according to Mr..
Wilbank, to carry any luggage. and fol-
lowed her to the desk.
The bellboy, he said, had been EN-.
plcyed at the hotel for twenty-cight
months and was entirely trustworthy
Mrs. Derbyshire is offering re
ward Of $1,000 for the return of tho
case. which is eighteen inches square
covered with purple leather and bears
the initials "K. A. D."
