BULLETS FLEW LAST NIGHT.
Machine Gun and Rifle Fire Exceeded
Dublin's Previous Experiences.

Dublin, Nov. "a (By the Associated
Press The concerted machine gun
and rifle firing in several districts OF
the city last night, believed to have
been staged as demonstration against
the expected execution Of Erskine
Childers, exceeded in intensity and du-
ration all of Dublin's previous expert
ences of this nature. Thus far, how
ever, not one casualty has been re-
ported.
The bullets began to fly soon after 3
o'clock and the din lasted until after
midnight The firing was not confined,
as in the past, to any one district, but
ranged over the center Of the city and
thus had the effect Of terrifying the
maximum number of people, for the
height Of its intensity conceded with
the outpouring Of the theatre and mo-
tion picture crowds.
Many OF these people fed back to
the theatres for shelter and the main
streets were speedily emptied Of all
pedestrians. The tram cars continued
to operate, however, but bullets cut
the overhead wires of some lines and
the passengers were forced to find their
way home as best they could.
The main feature of the outburst
was the frequent employment of ma
chine guns stationed on house tops.
The heaviest exchanges were at the Of
flee of the Irish Independent, where
even the bulwarks of sandbags failed
to keep out the hail of bullets; at the
four courts, where the soldiers de-
scribed it as their worst experience and
at 0riel house, the headquarters Of the
crime investigation department.

cHILDERs STRONG FIGURE.
Was Military Strategist, Who Planned
Uprising in ireland.

London, Nov. 24.-Announcement OF
the execution in Dublin of Erskine
Childers, leading lieutenant of Eamon
De Valera, was received here shortly
after noon to-day. II came as sur
prise TO England, where 1t was be
lieved the free state authorities would
hesitate TO impose this penalty.
The execution of Childers removes
the most important figure in the re-
publican movement in Ireland next to
Mr.. De Valera, with whom Childers,
man Of strong personality, is gen
orally credited here with having had
strong influence.
To Childers is ascribed perhaps the
leading part in engineering the pres
ent armed revolt against the free state
government and he was known as the
military strategist who planned the
operations.
II was to Childers that Winston
Churchill, former colonial secretary.
recently referred in speech as that
mischievous, murderous regenade that
Englishman who is inspired by an
equal measure of hatred both for this
island and for the one in which he
now has taken up his abode"
The opinion has been frequently ex-
pressed in responsible quarters here
that the free state authorities could
lay their hands on Eamon De Valera,
as they did on Childers, at any time
they desired, but that they did not
wish to do so in view of the possible
aftermath.
The question which Immediately
sprang into the minds of Londoners
interested in Irish affairs, when they
heard the news Of Childers' execution,
was whether the Irish republicans
would attempt rcprisals, and it seemed
70 be thought not unlikely that these
would have to be reckoned with.
The execution of Childers cuts short

posted In Savings Banks By
Metropolitan Residents

NEW YORK, Dec. II. = The
popular idea that the term New
Yorker" IS synonymous with prodi-
gality in expenditures for unimpor-
tant things, extravaganza in dress
And style of living and outlay for
bright light amusements, is refuted
by some significant figures just COM
piled by the Merchants association.
On July 1, 1922, the savings banks
of New York held on deposit ST.
069, 779,824.85, representing ac-
counts of 1,680,625 depositors, OF
more than one out of every four
of the entire population.
These figures" said the state
ment, "are significant relatively as
positively. They. prove that the habit
of thrift among the wage earners
in the city has grown enormously
during the last twenty-five years.
I'm 18979the books of the New
York savings banks showed deposits
of $529,907,347.75. The actual de-
posits in that period have therefore
multiplied almost four times. With
in the same period the number of
depositors has increased from ,222.-
$3.50 to the total as above indicated,
1t is true that the Increase in num-
Der of accounts is not commensurate
with the increase in population, but
significant fact appears in the per
capita comparison. The depositors
of 1897 showed an average savings
account of $432.51 while the deposit
tors of today show an average saw
ings deposit of $1,231.55.
"Those who analyze the signifi-
canoe of figures may draw variou
deductions of interest from these re-
markable showings which are new
ly assembled, but any argument
tending to show that New Workers
in general are wasteful lot would
have some difficulty in maintaining
itself unchallenged.
