Dublin, Sept. 2O:-Eamonn de Val
era may call the Dali Eireann into
session to deliberate on the situation
brought about by the latest note sent
to Dublin by Prime Minister Lloyd
George. This communication was re-
ceived yesterday at an hour that pre-
vented the Irish republican cabinet
from considering it before today.
Readiness to meet Mr.. de Valera or
other delegates from the Sinn Fein
Gin the capacity Of the chosen spokes-
men for southern Ireland" was ex-
pressed by the prime minister, but
he refused to confer with them s'as
representatives of a sovereign and
Independent state" Mr.. Lloyd George
declared that the section of the Sim
Fein note dispatched on September
IL which was construed as placing
the Irish delegates on par with en-
voys from separate power must be
withdrawn before conference was
possible. He pointed out that when
Mr.. de Valera went to London to
begin conversations as to a basis for
settlement Of the Irish problem, he
was received as the "chosen leader
of the great majority in Southern
Ireland" and that Mr.. de Valera &C.
cepted this designation.

CAPTURED IN RAID
HUNDRED STICKS
OF DYNAMITE COLLECTED
BY POLICE FOLLOWING At
.TEMPTs TO BOMB SHOE SHOP.
ONE MAN SHOT. ~.

Chicago, Sept. 2o.-Fourteen hum
dred sticks of dynamite three inches
in diameter and ten inches long and
one hundred sticks of T. N. T. were
seized by police following the cap
ture of five dynamiters in the act Of
bombing a shoe repair shop.
One of the prisoners was shot in
the side by police who had surround
ed the shop for ten hours following
mysterious tip that it was to be
bombed.
Richard Burke, % years old, the
wounded man, was carrying the
bomb when the five approached the
shoe shop, after parking a stolen
automobile two blocks away. Forty
detectives, hidden in neighboring
buildings, surrounded the bombers
and ordered them to surrender. In
stead Burke hurled the bomb, and
the explosion tore the entire front
out of the store, threw David Kren-
an, the owner, and his family from
their beds upstairs and broke win
dows for blocks around. g.,
.As Burke turned to flee Michael
Hughes, chief Of detectives, shot
him in the side and the other four
surrendered. They gave their names
as Michael Bench, James Smith, John
Barry and Charles Young. After
questioning, they said Burke, Smith
Barry and Young all lived at a
house on Kimbark avenue in the
southern part of the city. Search of
the house disclosed the, bomb max
ing plant, explosives, and in the
garage second automobile was
found. !.
Burke, who is believed to be ly-
ing, told the police he supplied
bombs for several labor unions, and
also the men to throw them. Police
say he made detailed statement of
bomb outrages undertaken for the
shoe repairmen's and janitor's un-
ions.

p MAN IN JULY.

Anderson, Sept. 20.-A case at
tracing much attention is that of
Walter Hayes, Allen Emerson,
George L. Wilson and Ed. Wilson,
charged with murder. This trial was
begun this morning. The trial was
delayed until an extra venire of Is
men could be drawn, as five of the
jurors were not to be found and TWO

ty-one jurors were excused, either

ing under the skin. Two wounds
were in the head, with large pieces
of scalp and skin hanging loose.

sician and he was asked if the
wounds on the head could have been
caused by this. He replied in the af-
firmative. He was also shown a
baby's rocking chair, with one rock
er broken, and asked if this could
have caused a similar wound. He
again replied in the affirmative. DR..
Harris also testified that the bullets
cut from Ramey were about the size

bullet wound across the back rang
ing from left to right, just under
the skin. Another from about the

SIMS M|SQUOTED
BY CARTER GLASS
SO SAYS ADMIRAL IN LETTER
TO MERCHANT MARINE AsSo.
CATION. GIVES CORRECT
VERSION OF SPEECH HE MADE
IN LONDON. =

Washington, Sept. 20.-Declaring
that Senator Carter Glass of Vir-
ginia was mistaken in quoting him
as saying in a conversation in Lon
don that the United States ought
not to undertake the development of
a merchant marine of it's own, Rear
Admiral William S. Sims, in letter
to the National Merchant Marine as
sociation, made public here today,
explained that what he did say was
that with the restriction of, our
present shipping laws, it would be
very difficult for our country to de-
velop merchant marine commensu-
rate with our needs"
The statement was in reply to a
letter asking If the admiral had been
correctly quoted by the Virginia
senator in a recent speech in the
senate.
In his speech, Senator Glass was
quoted as saying:
"When L was abroad in 1918 Ad-
miral Sims, much to my amazement
told me in London that he did not
think that the United States ought
to undertake the development Of a
merchant marine of it's own. He
thought that field of activity. should
be Ieft to Great Britain, saying the
British were our kinsmen, bone of
our bone = and blood of our blood.
and might be relied on to come to
our defense in case Of war; that they
were natural seamen and we knew
nothing about it. Besides, he added,
it would require a great subsidy to
conduct a merchant marine, and the
American people, were inherently
opposed to subsidies"
In his reply to the Marine asso-
citation, Admiral Sims wrote: "I am
not surprised that Senator Glass
was much amazed if he understood
me to state in London that the
United States ought not to under
take the development of merchant
marine of it's own.
"Just how far this is from what /
ever have or could have thought of
the merchant marine, you may judge
from the fact that the navy of the
United States would be very little
value as a defense of the United
States and our possessions If 1t
were not for the merchant marine.
"In the absence of a merchant ma
rine to furnish the transport for the
immense amount of supplies that a
fleet would need that feet would be
restricted in its operations to COM
paratively short distance from it's
nearest base.
"If our feet had to be sent to
make an attack at a long distance
across the ocean, it would require
something like 10000 tons of sup
plies a day, including fuel and all
other supplies. This is one Of the
essential elements that enters into
the consideration Of what we call
the logists of military operation and
one of the schedules which receives
the closest study of those who are
charged with the prepartion of naval
plans.
GAS remember my conversation
with Senator Glass, it was to the ef-
feet that with the restriction of our
present shipping laws, it would be
very difficult for our country to de-
velop a merchant marine commen-
,aole ~
