DUBLIN, Feb. 3.-Six Sim Fem
ers were killed and a number were
wounded in a desperate battle with
British military policemen near
Rosscarberry early today.
A large party of Republicans had
ambushed two lorries filled with po-
licemen. At the first volley from
the attackers the policemen returned
the fire, and violent fighting ensued.
Finally the attackers were forced to
retreat in disorder, leaving their
dead and number of wounded be-
hind. The authorities did not an
nounce the police casualties.
REPORT 400 IN ATTACK.
The fighting ragged so furiously that
the firing was heard nine miles away.
1t was first reported that 100 Sim
Feiners were in the ambush party.
but later reports, which are not yet
officially confirmed, said that 400 men
had participated.
The Republicans had commander
ed the home of Thomas King, a justice
OF the peace at Burgatia, near Ross
Carberry. Their intention was to at
tack a detachment of eighteen police
men who were expected to pass along
the road
The Republican leader, however,
failed to cut all of the telephone
wires, and re-enforcements of mill
tary police were summoned from
Clonskilty after the fight had begun.
The re-enforcements were rushed to
the scene equipped with all accoutre-
ments for battle. When the attackers
were driven from the King home, the

racks. The attackers were repulsed
after a fight lasting an hour.

the sentence imposed upon him by the
British court-martial.
At least four policemen were killed
and ten others wounded In attacks by
Republicans during the twenty-four
hours that followed the public an
nouncement OF Murphy's execution,
Three others who were alleged to have
assisted the British police were shot

Los ANGELES, Feb. Sin one of
the most tensely dramatic courtroom
scenes ever enacted in Los Angeles,
Arthur and Floyd Carr. who held Mrs.
Gladys Witherel captive in shack
for five days for S20,0 ransom, were
sentenced to prison for terms of from
ten years to life. In effect, the pun
ishment is a life sentence, according
to the authorities.
After scathingly denouncing the
two prisoners and branding their act
as more despicable than many crimes
for which the punishment was death,
Superior Judge Sidney n. Reeve i'm
posed the only legal sentence possible
under the California indetermihate-
sentence law.
But the court in no uncertain terms
let the convicted men know that, so
long as he remained a judge he would
not approve any recommendation from
the prison board for their release.
The two prisoners are now in San
Quentin Prison.
TWO DRAMATIC SCENES.
The court proceedings staged before
a record throng of men and women
were featured by two especially dra-
matte incidents.
The first came after o. $. Wltherell,
broker of Hollywood and husband
OF the kidnapped woman. took the
stand, and when he told how Mrs.
witherell lived over in delirium the
experience of her captivity.
II was an orderly but grimfaced
crowd that filled the ourtroom and
remained silent throughout the brief
hearing. Only once during the pro-
ceedings was there a stir and that
was when Detective Edward c. King
dramatically fell on his knees with
outspread arms. and in a husky voice
described in words and motions how
Mrs. Witherell had greeted her

NAVY,
BOARD URGES
Report Submitted to Senate
Calls for Fleet Equal to
Strongest Sea Force.

The United States must continue
its policy of creating a navy equal
to the strongest" and must continue
the building OF capital ships, with
out which the American navy "can-
not hope to cope wits existing
'navies," the Navy General Board to-
day declared.
DANIELS SENDS REPORT.
Secretary of the Navy Daniels to-
day transmitted to the Senate the re-
port of the Navy General Board,
drafted in response to a Senate reso-
luton introduced by Senator Borah
requesting an investigation "as to the
policy of suspending the present
naval building program for SIX
months to the end that Investigation
may be had as to what constitutes
modern fighting navy"
"The General Board. having kept in
touch with naval progress along all
lines, reiterates it's belief In the bat
tleships as forming the principal units
of the feet" the report declared.
"without them the United States can
not nope W topt WIN SN'eN''S
"The board strongly urges that the
policy which has characterized our
building program since 1903 OF
eventually creating a navy equal to
the strongest be continued, and that
no rest period or limitation OF arma'
ment be agreed to which will modify
the authorized building program OF
1915, in numbers, general types, and
date of completion.
SHIPS ARE MODERN.
"The ships recommended in that
program are thoroughly modern ana
there is no reason to believe that the
developments in submarine and air
warfare will seriously detract from
their value for many years to come
"The completion Of that program
should not deter us from deveroping
to the utmost new or partly devel-
oped weapons, that is, submarines,
aircraft. and aircraft carriers, and
from making such additions to the
fleet as will enable us successfully tC
develop and use surface, subsurface,
and air methods OF warfare to the
best possible advantage should the
necessity ever arise. In the future,
as at all times previous to the world
war, we shall, in all probability, have

The husband was questioned by
Arthur Carr, who asked IL she had
not stated that he had given her
medicines and had dressed her
wounds. ..,
witherell said his wife had told
had knowledge of osteopathy, that
had massaged a welt on her shoulder
and had bandaged a cut back of her
knee. The prisoner also drew from
the husband statements that the
kiGnapers had assured Mrs. Witherell
she. would not be harmed and that
she would be restored to her fam
ily.
MOST DEsPICABLE CRIME.
There, are a number of crimes
which in this State are punishable
by death. but none are more de-
spicabIe than the one which you
have pleaded guilty" the court said.
Judge Reeve pointed out that the
most severe punishment possible for
the two men was Imprisonment for
life. He said that II was customary
for the prison board in considering
applications for release of prisoners
to confer with the judge who i'm
posed sentence.
81 do not know may not be a
Judge at that time in your case, but
! hope that / am" the court added.
The court declared he hoped the
men had a conscience, and that their
conscience while they remained in
prison will continue to talk to
you"
Before being taken in:o court
Floyd Carr conferred with Attorney
w. w. Judd, retained to handle the
estate and other civil matters of the
prisoners, while Arthur Carr talked
