United States immigration Commits

will make a clean job, next time"
This scandalous incident the re-
port adds, illustrates the peril Of Civ
ing evidence on the doings of the
armed forces Of the crown. We regret
that an attempt should have been made
to victimize witness, whose only Of

Peace ParIeys Off.
Since the suspension of the negota-
tions begun by Father OFlanagan
there has been a complete cessation of
unofficial conversations for IN Irish
truce and it is not likely they will be
renewed for at least two months. Dur
ing this interval the authorities in Ire
land will be permitted to tighten up
repressive measures and brDva iheir
belief that Ireland can in this manner
be restored to order, and the extreme
lists confounded.
The government view is that nobody
entitled to speak for the Sim Fein has
yet come forward to discuss matters
with the government, whose attitude
remains unchanged.
The government declines to discuss
peace until the claim for independence
and a republic has been withdrawn and
the republican army has surrendered
its arms. Further, the government re-
fuses to negotiate except ON the home
rule bill as basis On this ground,
however, it is believed generally, it
would probably be willing to grant
complete fiscal autonomy to southern
Ireland, if peace could be attained
thereby.

"TRALEE BATTLE"|
ACCOUNT FICTION.
SAYS COMMITTEE
Allege Serious Conflict
Between Evidence and
a Fanciful Story Of
Secretary That Was
Given in Commons.

London, Jan. 17.-(By The
Associated Press).-A supple
mentary report Of the Irish in
vestigating committee Of the
labor party which recently
visited Ireland to investigate
conditions in that country, was
issued Monday evening by the
labor party. It states that the
publication Of the testimony of
one witness before the investi-
eating commission resulted in
a visit to his home by armed
men, who, not finding the wit
ness, proceeded to damage the
furniture.
The supplementary report challenges
the accuracy of the governments ac.
count Of the "battle of Tralce' draw
ing the conclusion that the battle Of
Tralee is a :igment of the imagina-
ton" and alleges that there is SER
ious conflict between the evidence
gathered by the commission and the
fanciful. highly colored story of the
battle of Tralee presented in the house
Of commons by the chief secretary"
Deliberate Fake, Charge
The document cites what it inti-
mates was case of the deliberate fax
ing of a photograph portray;ng bat
tie scene in order to support accounts
given in the house of commons. The
report says the photograph in question
has been suppressed, but it recounts
how it pictured wounded cadet and
two dead Sim Feiners lying in a road,
and the CADETS taking Sim Fein pris
oners in the background
The report declares that this pho
tograph appeared in many newspapers
and was variously declared rs "a pic
ture from the Kerry front" and an il
lustration of the battle Of Tralee."
Denies Battle Scene
what we wish to emphasize" says
the report, SIS that this photograph
purports to have been taken in south
west Ireland" Attention then is
called to photograph included in the
report showing junction Of two
roads just outside Dublin City. The
report adds:
1T is this exact scene. with the
addition Of the people referred 70
above, which, has appeared as pic
ture of the battle of Tralee. There
is no such scene in the vicinity Of
the battle ground We do not know
who arranged for the taking of the
photograph outside of Dublin. but can
understand that its publication would
give an air Of verisimiltude to the
story of an encounter as described by
Sir Hamar Greenwood, chief secre-
tarv for Ireland"
With reference to the attempted vic
limitation Of witness examined by
the commission the report says:
