SIlvN FEN ANSWER
BEING COMPLETED
There Is Some Reason to Believe They
Will Accept Invitation to
Conference.

Dublin, Sept 30 tBy the Associated
Press Sim Fein Ireland's answer 70
the British governments invitation to
a conference in London Oct. ii was ex-
pected to be ready for the Dali Eireann
cabinet when it assembled here to-day.
Eamonn De Valera, leader OF the
Irish republicans, conferred with coli
leagues yesterday after receiving Prime
Minister Lloyd Georges note, and It
was generally believed that the Irish
reply was virtually decided upon dur
ing the afternoon.
Satisfaction with the tone, OF the
prime minister's communication, ex-
pressed by Sim Fein leaders yester-
day, gave the public reason 70 believe
that the cabinet would accept the IN
vitation to the London conference.
Mr. Lloyd George made IL clear that
the British government would receive
the Irish delegates as "spokesmen OF
the people they represented but his
note seemed to place no other condi-
tions on the holding of the conference
The very phrase quoted, however,
appeared TO be regarded in some quar-
ters as giving ground for criticism. The
critics Of this phraseology here regard
ed it as ambiguous and as possibly
limiting the status of the delegates.
The Dali cabinet meeting was set for
8 o'clock this afternoon. II was not ex-
pected that the reply to Lloyd George
would be dispatched before 6 p. m
with the probability that it would not
be given out for publication until some
time afterward

RUBBER HEELS LED
TO CATCHING THIEVES
who Broke Into Stygles Store at Jer-
icho Center and Who Attempted
Robbery at Essex Junction.

Burlington, Sept. 30.--A pair Of rub.
ber heels with the name GOodyear
on them led to the detection and al
legged confession of Leno Fox, Clarence
Blake and Lawrence Crowell of Nor
risville for burglary at the Stygies
store in Jericho Center and attempted
burglary at the Rugg store at Essex
Junction Wednesday night. The heels
made imprints in the dirt near win
dow of the Stygles store. Sheriff Hen
ry Todd and Deputy Sheriff Edward
Reeves saw the imprints, and that clue,
taken in conjunction with clue Of
fered by parties who saw an automo-
bile standing in the street OF Essex
junction the night of the break there
led to Morrisyille, where the three
young men were arrested yesterday
afternoon and brought to the Jail here
On seeing the car standing in the
street at Essex Junction, Dewey Perry
of the American Express Co. and Sta
tion Agent Howard took the number Of
the car which was found to belong to
Morrisville party. Communication
with Deputy Sheriff Kelley at Norris
vile brought out the fact that three
young men had been using the car
lately and that they had made several
trips at night.
Sheriff Todd and Deputy Sheriff
Reeves Immediately started for Nor
risville. They first got hold OF Fox, who
refused to talk. Sheriff Todd then To-
Gated Blake in his room and asked to
see his shoes. Examination disclosed
the fact that these had Goodyear rub
ber heels which the sheriff was look
ing for. Blake soon saw that he was
caught and confessed to taking part in
the breaks. He said that he and Fox
went into the store at Jericho, while
Crowell kept watch outside. He also
admitted the attempted break at Es-
sex Junction. The party left Morris
vile about III o'clock Wednesday night
and got back between 5 and 9 o'clock
Thursday morning.
Later Fox confessed also and told
where the stolen things were hidden.
Some of them were found in the sheds
at the Lamoille county fair grounds,
while others were in the rooms occu-
pied by Blake and Fox. Besides the
goods stolen at Jericho, two excep-
tionally good black leather travelling
bags with the keys attached to them,
and which looked as if they were near
Nv new, were found in the rooms of
the young men. Although these were
claimed BY the young fellows as their
lawful property, there is suspicion
that these may. also, have been stolen.
All three of the men arrested are sus-
pected OF other breaks than these two.
