DAILY
IN CITY DUBLIN
For Evidence Against The Promoters
OF The Sim Fein 0utrages
In Ireland,
Associated Press

DUBLIN, Dec 15---Searches for ev-
idence against the promoters Of Sim
Fein outrages which are conducted by
the police or military authorities are
among the notable features of life in
Dublin. They unusually take place
in the daytime or in the early morn
ing hours.
In making them, the authorities had
committed some blunders. The mill
tary motor trucks used to drive up
in front of suspected house and the
searchers entered the building. The
trucks we're left in charge of only a
few men. This proved tempting to
Sim Fein attacks which frequently
surprised those on guard.
No risk is taken now, The whole
street, no matters what its import
ance is cleared Of all traffic for dis
ance on both sides of the suspected
house and the searchers can thus do
their work without apprehension Of
being taken in the rear.
The fact that house is raided i'm
plies no reflection on its owners. Some
of the most respected of Dublin I'm
ionists have had their premises ex-
searched, There have been
several searchers in Sackville Street,
Dublin's principal thoroughfare and
the starting point or junction of all its
extensive street car system. A raid
here meant that the street cars were
held up all along the line and thus
citizens half mile or more away
would laern that a raid was in prog
ress. While the search was going on,
