DR.. Tily said that the church organ :
ist should organize sight singing classes

Dublin, July 27.-Eamon de Valera,
the Irish Republican lender, and his
colleagues have not yet found bnsis
for the proposed conference with the
British Government on the Irish ques-
tion in London. but are continuing to
search for common ground on which
the contending parties can meet. 1t was
stated in a well-informed quarter here
today.

The possibility that four Legislatures
may be established in Ireland-one each
in the provinces Of Ulster. Munster,

that there arc four great provinces In

In relation to Sketchs information
the statement is made that, subject to

PROHIBITION AGENT
ANSWERS POLICE

Can't Pass Buck to Him
in Robbery
WITNESSES ARE FORGETFUL

'The police cannot pass the buck to
me In this alleged $50. 900 robbery from
Schif's place" was the reply Of Joseph
q. Slonaker, prohibition agent, today
to charges by Captain Kenny, Of the
Fourth Police District. that dilatory
tactics on the part Of prohibition off e
cials here were responsible for the con
tinuance Of fagrant bootlegging opera
lions in the northeastern section of the
city.
Morris Schff's saloon, at 4651 Mil
NOR street. Frankford. was robbed, ac-
cording to reports to the police, by
fifteen bandits Sunday morning.
Captain Kennys charge that war
rant had been issued for Schi(f's arrest
In connection with illegal possession of
liquor and had lain unscrvcd for more
than a month in the prohibition Office
was denied by Mr. Sonaker. No war
rant for Schiff's arrest had ever been
issued. according to the prohibition Of.
ficer, because the police had reported
only one purchase of liquor from his
place. Attempts by Government agents
to purchase liquor from Schlf were
without success, IL is said. His ware
house withdrawal permits and sa'cS
slips are now being checked up.
Efforts Of the police to determine the
actual details OF the alleged robbery
have unsucceeded SO far. Schiff accuse
the police of completely in the robbery
because he declares it could not have
been committed without their conni-
vance. The officers hotly deny the
charge.
Fifteen witnesses who are said to
have given the police n coherent and
substantially agreeing story on Sunday,
seem now. according to Schi0 70 have
forgotten everything and to have seen
nothing. He accuses the police Of hav
ing intimidated them.
