TO KILL EXECUTIVE
Do Valera Charged With melting Riot
Because People Are Unwilling
to Let Him Decide
For Them

Dublin.--An attempt on the life Of
Michnel Collins, head of the provi-
sional free state government WIS
made here shortly nfter midnight Mon
day morning, coming almost stimuli
taueously with an assault on the Beg
bars Bush headquarters of the Irish
Republican army, says an official
army statement.
A group OF armed men rushed at the
Collins party's car and opened fire,
the free state leader apparently being
the especial target. The Collins men
returned the fire quickly and one OF
the attackers was captured. A revolt
yer and live bomb were found on
him.
During the fighting a general head
quarters car from the Beggars Bush
barracks was disabled by rifle fire
and captured.
The headquarters barracks was at
tucked by riflemen on all sides at
midnight, about twenty shots being
discharged, Commandant General
Ennis was fired at outside of the
gate. The garrison raked the sur
rounding territory with bullets and the
assaulting party withdrew.
An army transport also was at
tackled, but without results, the be-
siegers fleeing after a sharp exchange
OF shots.
Shots we're fired on the premises
occupied By the civic guard at Balls
bridge. No damage and no casualties
were reported.
In his speech at Mas. County XII

nents OF provisional free state gov
eminent with setting barriers against
the onward march OF the nation.
He declared that cannon de Valera

FIRM BASIS FOR
FARMING PLANNED
PLANS LAID FOR PLACING FARM
ING OPERATIONS ON PER-
MANENT ECONOMIC BASIS
Texas Representative Suggests That
System Be Introduced To Inn

Farm Products

Northumberland suggestions
for placing the business Of farming
on basis of permanent economic
strength and of bringing about uni.
fornity in sales and distribution of
farm products are given by Represen.
tative Hatton w. Summers. OF Texas,
to his agricultural colleagues In Con,
gress.
1. That agriculture products be
standardized with reference to re.
quirement for use as distinct from
requirements for future board trans.
quantity, possessing distinctive char.
acteristlcs determinative Of the use
for which II is best adapted, shall
be given separate grace term.
2. To have warehouse system
under uniform regulations where
these commodities may be graded
stored and have receipts Issued for
them which will carry n general as.
signable guarantee as to physical
protection. title quantity and grade.
3. To have a marketing agency
through which these standardized
commodities may be sold by their
respective grade classification and
through which perlshable commodl'
ties may be sold by telegraphic com
munlcatlons and delivery effected
from the WAREHOUSE OF original OF
secondary storage.
4. An adjusted credit system sup
plementing but not supplanting ex'
isting credt-extendlng racilitles, so
as to make possible longer time
credit at fair interest rate when
necessary TO carry commodities for
orderly marketing.
Relatively unlmportant expansion,
development and adjustment OF exist
'ng facilities, says Summers, is all
that is required 10 put Into opera
ton the reforms he suggests. The
Government would be required TO oc'
cupied 1t to meet new conditions which
have developed.
Among the definite advantages that
would accure to farmers by the adop.
ton of his suggestions, says Summers,
would be: Commodities would move
largely under prior sale from points
OF first and secondary concentration
to points of use by the cheapest and
most direct route with requirements
for use. This would reduce transpor'
tatIon charges unnecessary intervening
profits and physical waste in cougest
ed markets.
The plan suggested would not op
perite against fair distribution charge
and profit. but by creating a practi'
cal, easy-of-acess, available-to-all route
around the pr1vately-controlled avenue
Of distribution would tend to hold
the total of Intervening charges and
profits to the basis OF the economic
value OF the service rendered. Every
body, including merchants In agrlcul'
tural products, could buy and sell
through this agency.

conclusion that the heavy charge Of
high explosive had not been sulfl-

from smashed windows or demolished
chimneys. An outstanding feature OF
the terrific conclusion were the mir

eral persons in line of the falling
bOulders
Much personal injury was avoided,
1t Is believed, because of the time OF
the blast and comparative emptiness
Of the streets. School children had
just entered their classrooms and the
business and professional men and
women had, generally, taken up the
days routine when the quiet atmOs-
phere was shattered by literal
shower of rocks followed by the re-
sounding boom of the concussinon. The
work Of demolition was accomplished
inside Of thirty seconds. Persons at
their work were shaken for moment
and then resumed. Within one,half
hour Of the explosion men were busy
clearing away the debris and com.
mencing the repair of damages.
The cut from which the huge slabs
were hurled is portion of the de-
tour being prepared for use during
construction of the concrete highway
from Price to Castle Gate. The Car

ton that the blast of INT was placed.
The explosion was not premature,
It is said. The charge had been
placed supposedly deep enough to el-
inmate flying particles and with a
view to crumbling the cliifside. But
when fired. the high explosive shat
tered tho rock surface into fragments,
running from pebble size to boulders
weighing several tons, and threw these
for several hundred feet in all d.
rections above the buildings of the
town.
