IRISH RAILWAY sROBBER'
TIED TO CHURCH FENCE
County DoUn Motorist Slain
by an Ulster Sentry.

BELFAST. July 31.-"Robber of the
Macroom Railway" was the inscription
on a card fastened to the breast of a
man found tied to the ratings in front
of ST. Francis Church, on Liberty street,
this morning. The upper part of the
mans face was concealed with a hand
kerchief.
Thousands of persons gathered about
the spot, reading the inscription and
wondering who was responsible for the
unusual incident, which was closed when
the police finally came along and lib-
Grated the man. 1t Is understood the
happening was connected with the recent
theft of $1,000 from train bound from
Cork to Macroom. This robbery was
committed by four armed men. who
boarded the train at Bishopstown, and
after holding UP the conductor left with
the money. which was being taken to
the pay station at Macroom.
Thomas Reid, 80 years old. caretaker
of Orange Hall, near Comber, County
Down. was shot dead by a sentry last
night while motoring past the Ulster
specials camp at Newtownards. Reid
did not hear the sentry's challenge, 1t is
thought, because of the noise his motor
car was making.

SHIPPING PRIVILEGE
ISSUE TO COME UP
Board Representatives to Con-
fer With Owners of British
Merchant Vessels.

WASHINGTON. July 81. Shipping
Board representatives will confer with
British shipowners in London Tues.
day in an effort to obtain fair treatment
for American merchant vessels In the
award of trade privileges in foreign
ports. In making this announcement,
to-day, the board said Capt Ferris, the
district marager at London. had beer
instructed to make strong representa-
tions. particularly against alleged dis
elimination in the awarding Of contracts
for carrying Egyptian cotton to British
and American ports.
1t was considered probable. however.
that the conference would have a still
broader aspect and that the board would
insist that its vessels have equal foot
ing with British ships in the awarding
of contracts for the transport of all
classes of freight.
The board Is understood to have CON-
planned TO British shipping lines that
American vessels had been denied car
goes of Egyptian cotton. although In
many instances their bids were lower
than those of British ships which, got
the contracts.
In negotiating with British shipping
interests. officials here say. the board
probably will take the position that II
its vessels are not assured fair treat
ment 1t may be deemed advisable to IN
woke retaliatory measures.
Chairman Lasker Is said to have urged
that the Finance Corporation. in adj
vancing funds for export of American
goods, stipuiate that they be shipped in
American vessels.
