 Being Arrested At Stam-
 ford.

Stamford. March 5.-Federal of joke today. But the size of tho joke was insignificant compared with what it was on someone else.
 The officers seized truck on which they thought they had found 240 gall Ions of alcohol. They took in charge Charles Meyer, of South Fourth street, Brooklyn and Lewis Dinetz. of Harnsdale street, Brooklyn. On the truck at first glace the cargo looked like fifty or more empty barrels. Looking the barrels over they found 4s five gallon cans of supposed al- cohoI.
 Who's the Joke on?
 When the officers got the truck into town the. alcohol was leaking. from the cans. This led to a test of the fluid which was found to be water. The officers had a laugh and thought they were the victims of a joke. The truckmen were released. The latter. however. got greater surprise when told that they were carrying water for they said $2,50O was paid in New York for the ''al- cohol' which was being sent to Bridgeport.
 Other Arrests Made
 The officers in seiZing two roadsters got 90 gallons of high proof alcohol. The men were held in $500 bonds each. They gave the names of Frank Raino, New York city, Samuel Miro. Brooklyn. Harry Austin. Springfield, Mass, and Joseph Solomon. Hartford.

CONCLUSIONS OF COMMITTEE
OF 100

The subcommittee of the Commit
tee of One Hundred formed eightee,
months ago in America to investigate
the Irish question. recently made {,
report in which it sums up seven con
illusions. although it admits having
heard only one side, the British and
Ulster unionists refusing to appear
and be heard. The conclusions are
summarized as follows:
The British government has placed
in Ireland a force of $4,000 men and
melted that force to unbrdled VIC
lence.
Innocent persons have been killed
and suspected persons have been as
sassinated.
Destruction of buildings and vii
lagos have been countenanced and or
dered by British officials.
A campaign for destruction of the
means of existence of the Irish PEG
pie has been conducted.
Hostages are carried by forces ex.
posed to the fire of the Irish army.
This terror has failed to reestab-
lish British civil government in Ire
land.
The majority of the Irish people
have sanctioned by ballot the Irish
republic and are giving it their al
legiance.
