Dali Meets Again

Dublin, Dec, ,. - OBy Associated Press) the Dali Eireann met to- day for the continuation of it's secret session it was declared by supporters of Michael Collins and Arthur Grif- filth that they and the other signers of the Irish peace agreement now felt certain of an ultimate majority in favor of the treaty
 Defend Their Action
 They declared no prominent per son of Ireland had yet protested against their action in signing an agreement with the British cabinet. President De Nalera's objections were stated to be to certain details of the treaty, which he thinks would have been improved if it had been resub- mitted to him and the Dail cabinet before it was signed.
 Ulster Thrown Over
 The general impression in Dublin today was that Lord Carson's speech in the house of lords last night had helped Collins and Griffith in their fight in the Dali for the treaty's rati- fcation. It was pointed out in this connection that Lord Carson had pie tured the English action toward Ul- ster in a light that bore out the pre- diction of Michael Collins in his fam ous speech at Armagh last September, when he said that England would use Uster as long as it suited her purpose and then throw her over.
 De Valcra's Position
 As to MT. De Nalera's position with regard to the treaty it is asserted that when the governments proposals were submitted to the Dali cabinet on September 3, certain objections were made which Afr. De Valera does not think were adequately met in the final draft.
 The secret session is occupied with a discussion of these points, and it was said after last nights adjourn ment that the members had got no further along in their discussion than they were when the public session was concluded early yesterday after noon.

NEGRO CONFESSES
But Police Doubt Man Com
mitted Crime in West 89th
Street a Year Ago.

James Brown, a negro, Of ESQ West
'SiNty-second street, was arrested by de-
tectives yesterday afternoon after he is
alleged TO have attempted to rob an
apartment in $50 West Twentieth street,
and, according to Detective Corcoran of
the West Twentieth street station, con-
fessed later to the murder of Miss Ream
Constance Hoxie. II years old, in her

confessed that on November he entered
the apartment OF Mrs. Loretta Smith.
26 Jane street. and beat her so that she
was sent to Bellevue Hospital
The detectives declared that Brown
had been identified by Mrs. Smith as her
assailant, but they admitted that his
confession that he committed the Hoxie
murder. which was one of the most
brutal crimes in many years, came at
the end of several hours of questioning.
They admitted also the possibility that
the negro had confessed to save himself
further questioning and further applca-
ton of the persuasive methods employed
by the police. Because of this fact the
negro, as soon as he had admitted that
he killed Ream Hoxie. was taken at once

tigation into the murder of Miss Hoxe
and was familiar with all of the details
of the crime. He talked 10 the negro for
several hours. and at / O'Clock this
morning said he was inclined to doubt
the truth of the Negroes confession. Many
of the statements made by Brown. Capt.

his description Of the apartment in which
he attacked the girl varied from that of
the Hoxie apartment. The negro will be
questioned further this morning, and
every statement he makes viii be checked
up by Capt. Carey.
Brown was questioned concerning the
death of Miss HoXie after he had been
identified by Mrs. Smith because of
the similarity OF the Hoxie crime and
the attack upon Mrs. Smith. Accord
ing to the police he said that he had
gained entrance to the Hoxie apart
ment by. manipulating the lock of the
front door with a false key and button
hook

peared at her home. She was still con-
fined to her bed and the infant lay ~
her side. Despite her condition Mrs.
Smith tussled with the intruder and was
stabbed by him. He then went through
the apartment and stole iewelry valued
at $500. Mrs. Smith was critically Ill
for several weeks after the attack.
The circumstances OF the HoXie muir
der were such as TO make the police
certain that il was the work of a de-
generate, and the attack upon Mrs.
Smith was made by the same sort of
n man Browns arrest can't. Yesterday
