THREE LIVES HINGE
ON Dublin PARLEY
Collins and Craig to Confer
Today, as Death Leers at
Derry Prisoners.

BELFAST, Feb. 1.-While Ireland
is focusing its attention on the meet
ing between Sir James Craig and Mi
chael Collins in Dublin tomorrow.
more interested than any are three
men-Johnstone, Moshea and Leonards
who are in cells in Derry pricon,
where they can hear the hammers
of carpenters erecting a scafford on
which they are scheduled to hang
on February ..
The imminent execution OF the
trio unquestionably has hastened the
negotiations between the heads of
the Northern and Southern govern
ments, and the indications here are
that an agreement will be reached
regarding post-truce prisoners which
will save the condemned men. A
number of petitions have been sent
to Derry. The feeling is that the
execution may stir up more violence
and cause more deaths. and for this
reason both the Dublin and Belfast
press are asking a reprieve.
The Northern and Southern labor
ministers have opened negotiations
to present a solid front to the rail-
way workers. who have postponed
their strike until February Is.
The first violence against the Brit
ish troops leaving Ireland occurred
when 100 shots were fired at two
motor trucks filled with members of
the royal Irish consta bulary from an
ambush at Barnes Gap. None, how
ever, were hurt.
Ulster also has taken over the con-
troll of its educational system from
the British. In assuming RESPONSE
bility for the school system in Ul-
ster, the Marquis of Londonderry,
the minister of education. took over
the last remaining government serv-
ice from the British.

SAFER THAN ANY STEEL VAULT
Bank Of England Lowers Its Bullion
Into Well At Close Of Business
Each Day

In one sense the Bank Of England
is the safest bank in the world. Its
unique protection is due TO an artesi-
an well In the bank. This we'll sup.
plies the bank with its water inde-
pendently Of the rest of the city; It is
400 feet deep and supplies 1000 cubic
feet of water an hour.
The bullion department, which holds
the ingots of precious metal is nightly
submerged in several feet Of water
by the action of special machinery.
Anyone attempting to rob the bank,
then, must be an expert swimmer and
diver. In the morning the water is
pumped away and the ingots are read
lily accessible again.
However the water stlll protects the
other departments Of the bank. It's
supply is almost unlimited, the bank
knows, and Its protection is practical
~ absolute when 1t is used. The bank
has very delicate machinery arranged
so that even the lifting Of coin from
a pile will release a catch which, in
turn, releases supply Of water.-De-
troit News.
