IRISH QUESTION
IS DISCUSSED BY
BRITISH LEADERS
Method of Satisfying Ulster Be
Iieved To Be the Subject Of
Conference

London. Nov. Shy the Associ-
ated Press. AN important meeting
for consideration of the Irish ques-
tion was held in Downing street to-
day the participants being the ma
iority of the governments negotia-
tors, including Premier Lloyd George,
Winston Churchill, Austin Chamber
lain. Lord Berwenhead and Sir Cor
don Hewart. 1t is believed the meet
ing mainly concerned itself with the
legal steps necessary to fulfill the
governments pledge to Ulster that
the Ulster parliament will be enabled
to function properly and be provided
with funds.
Action along these lines, it is point
ed out, does not seriously affect the
general negotiations for an Irish set
tlement, for it is the governments
plan that Ulster would be left with a
parliament with more power than the
present parliament has.
Desmond Fitzgerald, of the Sim
Fein delegation, said on behalf OF
himself and his colleagues. that they
were taking no part in the talks now
in progress between Sir James Craig
the Ulster premier, and Mr.. Lloyd
George, and were merely waiting un
til the time the prime minister could
put to them a practical proposition foI
the unity of Ireland.

Ten Armed Men Wound
Four, Get Two Pouch
es, Set Fire To Car and
Make Clean Get Away
Passenger Had a
Narrow Escape

Paxton, ILL.,, Nov S.-Hundreds OF
men in posses were searching early
today for 10 bandits who last night
held up the New Orleans limited on
the Illinois Central railroad two
miles south of here, wounded four
train employees, stole two pouches of
registered mail, and escaped after
setting fire to the mail car. No trace
of the robbers had been found early
today, the only aid in the search be
ing a statement by members of the
train crew that they headed west in
police guarded all roads entering that
city and the alarm was telephoned to
all central Illinois towns.
The passengers We're not molested
but one, X. H. Knowlton, of Freeport,
ILL.,. got three bullet holes in his
coat when he and three companions
went up to the mali car and fired on
the bandits as the latter were fighting
the engine crew and two mail clerks,
Iarricaded in the mail car.
The Injured
Arthur Moon, a Pullman porter.
was shot in the chest and in the
groin as he stood in the vestibule of
a smoker. Fireman Harry Bangs was
wounded in the shoulder. Thomas
Baker, mail clerk, was shot in the
hand and shoulder and Ben Bobinette,
another clerk, was dubbed over the
head with a revolver.
Two of the robbers boarded the
train at some point between Chicago
and Paxton and covered the engine
crew with their guns as the train
was passing through here, according
to the report of Division Superinten-
dent ]. W. Hevron.
They ordered the train to proceed
to small bridge over small stream
two miles further south where the
train was stopped.
Ordering the crew to break the
train, the engineer and firemen were
forced to pull the mail and baggage
cars farther up the track, leaving the
other nine coaches on the other side
OF the bridge to prevent interference
from the passengers
Assaulted Mail Car
Eight other men appeared from au-
'tohoplles and began the assault on
the mall car. On a threat of shoot
ing the engineer and firemen if the
mall car was not opened, the robbers
forced the mail clerks to open the
doer, but when the engineer and fire
man had clambored inside the door
was slammed shut. Several charges
OF dynamite and firing from revolvers
and guns forced the door open and a
hand to hand battle ensued which
ended only when the robbers had
thrown two bombs into the car and
firebrand which smoked out the
four men inside. When the clerks
came out with the sacks containing
registered mail to save themselves
from being burned, the bandits jump
ed into their machines and left.
The train crew hooked up the train
again without the mail car and pro-
ceeded to Champaign, where the in
Jured were sent to hospital.
