Six auto bandits, in silk shirts and
straw hats, held up the ticket agent
on the Third Avenue IL" at 1s5d
Street at $50 O'Clock this morning,
robbed the safe OF S513 and drove
away before an alarm could be given.
The men, in a high powered tour
ing car, and all carrying revolvens,
drove up to the station and five got
out. Four went up the stairway, an
other waited at the bottom. while the
last remained at the wheel of the car.
When the four reached the head
of the stairs. two took up positions
at the two entrances to the station,
one went TO the window of the booth
where James Dooley, seventy-six, Of
No. lat 18th Avenue. Astoria, was
selling tickets, while the fourth man
told James Fitzpatrick OF No. 227 East

was on the platform. to come in

volver pointed at him he laughed.

.he Republican Cabinet, he said, had
adopted toward England the principle
laid down by Cardinal Mepier Of Rel
gium toward Germany-the principle
that external authority was unlawful.
The Irish. he said, stood for the ideals
enthroned in the American Declara-
ton Of Independence.
Mr.. De Valera provoked laughter by
describing the British attitude as that
of a great nation demanding suaran-
tees for its afety from "A small one,
when it should be a big nation guar
inteetng safety to small state.
The Cabinet had sent the reply II
did. Mr.. De Valera declared. because
IT, did not think the British proposals
were just.
Mr.. De Valera pointed to the vir-
tually impossible conditions surround
ing negotiations with the British Cow
ernment. The position. he said. was
|. that of a man, unarmed. facing nan
pointing pistol.
There were people who wanted to
negotiate to save their faces. he con-
tinued. but the Sim Fein would not
~ ,utiate to save faces, but to save, IL
possible, bloodshed. ana for right ani
principle.
Mr.. De Valera said that at to-mor-
baG
negotiations between the Irish and
British Governments, he would in a
general way give an account OF his
own department and that afterward
the other Ministers would give ac-
counts OF their departments.
The proposed reply to PremeIr
Lloyd George, continued the Presi-
dent, would be considered in private
session. All Understood the serious
moss of the reply, he declared, as the
,'ritish Government intended to mako
jr an issue Of peace or war with the
Irish nation.
After the reply was sanctioned and
ready for dcs patch there would be
another public session of the Dali
r.reann, Mr. De Valera continued.
Further elections TO office would oc-
cur. and then the Parliament would
ND-k upon the propositions 10 be ad-
vauced By the new Dali Ministry.
Mr. De Valera asserted that Ireland
had at the elections virtually declared
by pleh,scite for a Republican Govern
ment not because the people were Re-
publican doCrnaires, but because
Irish freedom and Independence could
not at present be realized in any other
way
NJ. De Valera said that during his
talks with Mr Lloyd George the sub

which the British Premier advocated
during the war, had cone up, and he

BERLIN. Dec. 19.-"Go and see Shines" or Have you seen Stinnes?" Those are the words you hear con- stantly in Berlin business circles. tory to sell. the promoter from Frankfort with a banking project, the speculator from Munich with an idea. and the harassed director with hard pressed steel work-all of these have only one object in com ing to Berlin, and that is to see Hugo Stinnes, the mystery man of finance, the Bismarck of commerce, the real dictator of Germany.
 Here in Berlin, in a dingy. unpre- tcntious ill-furnished office. sits the wizard-the greatest money juggler since the days of Ernest Terah IIoo- ley-taciturn, sombre-eyed, Addressed and without that personal charm on which so many financiers depend for success.
 Herr Shines is a busy man who does not appear to be busy. Yet he is a tremendous worker, a dark-vis- aged, inscrutable. almost sinister looking glutton for work.
 HIS IS THE WILL
 He controls something over 13O public companies. They all have boards of directors, but his is the will that moves the boards, his the policy that is pursued. He relies on his own judgment, and not on that of others. He does not ask advice. nor does he give 1t. He gives orders instead
 He is a tremendous listener too; sits for interminable minutes at his shabby desk listening. and scrutiniz- ing meanwhile with his deep-think. ing, luminous eyes the man who is anxious to sell or please.

Is it dye-works or electricity? He controls. Is il banks? He either owns them On dominates. Wherever you turn in Germany, into any of the main ayen- ues or the byways of finance. you en- counter the shadow of this strange taciturn man of millions.
 SEVENTY NEWSPAPERS
 Unlike Mir. Hooley, however, Herr Shines keeps in touch with other things besides mere company-making and the development of German in dustry. He is a politician as well, for he sits in the Reichstag as an NJ. P. and though he has little faith in the efficacy of parliamentary procedure he retains his seat; for you never know what may happen and how necessary it may be, in the intesest of the 14O companies. that their chief should have a voice on the floor of the House.
 He has another voice. too, gi- gantic. strident voice if he cares to use it. in the form of seventy newspapers with enormous circula- tions. Imagine the power of such a voice. and yet you seldom detect his influence in the columns of the news papers that Shines owns. It is not known if he has yet achieved full understanding of the efficacy of the printed word Possibly he has. He is a difficult man to interview. and when he has been interviewed there is very little wine to squeeze out of the vintage of words; and sometimes, too he Is constrained to repudiate, which isn't very pleasant
