SHOT WHEN HE
RESISTED ARREST
Was Spending Week End
at Skerries, Fishing Town

Belfast, July 81. lBy the Associated
Press Harry Boland, formerly rep
resentative Of the Dali Eireann in the
United States, is in a critical condition
In q Dublin hospital. says Dublin
message to day, al result Of wounds
received in attempting to eyade cap
ture by national army troops.
Boand, the dispatch says was
wounded at Skerries, fishing town to
the north of Dublin.
Boland and friend were spending
the week end at the Grand hotel, in
Skerries. This morning at O'Clock
troops surrounded the hostelry and
entered Boland's room to arrest him.
In resisting arrest Boland drew a
revolver and during the scuffie that fol-
lowed, the message adds, he was shot
in the abdomen. Boland's companion
also was arrested
Harry j. Boland's activities in the
United States on behalf Of a republic

when he came across the Atlantic as
stoker on freighter TO act as secre-
tary here 70 Eamon DE Valera, then

came TO America about the same time
to work for the Irish Republican cause
in this country.
Boland remained after De VaIeras

acted as the Republican president s
representative here until August last
year.
He supported De Nalera's unsuccess-
full effort for reelection and has stood
with him since in bis opposition to the
provisional government in Ireland. His
had been something of
mystery since the outbreak of hostili
ties between the national army forces

RAILWAY WORKERS
BACK ON THE JOB
IN AS HOURS
T. Dewitt CuyIer, Head of
the Railroad Executive
Organization De lie S
Employers Will Support
President Harding's Pro-
p0sals

Washington, D. G., July 81 (By th'
Associated Press President Harding
was said to-day by close persona
friends to have received assurance from
Chairman Cnyler Of the Association d
Railway Executives, Vice president
Atterbury oS the Pennsylvania system
and B. NJ. Jewell head Of the striking
shopmen's organizations, that they
would support his proposals for imme
diate ending Of the strike.
These assurances were understood
to be the basis of the presidents hope
for successful termination of his arbi.
tration efforts. They have been the
subject of discussion, il was reported
between the president and his imme-
diate advisers, including some mem
bers of the Senate. The president has
been told, it was said, that Mr. jew
ell would in the union conference to
be held tomorrow at Chicago give his
endorsement to the settlement pro-
posal.
Mr. Cuyler and Mr.. Atterbury, it
was said, did not go so far as the un
ion head, but were said to have ad-
vised the president that they would
at least vote for its acceptance. The
influence of Mr.. Cuyler and Mr.. At
terbury is counted upon by the admin
istration to have a large influence at
the railroad executive meeting.
Administration leaders said they ex-
pected spirited debate in -morrow's
session of the executives but the final
result would be reluctant acceptance
Of the presidents proposals. 1t might
be, according to administration advis-
ers, that the executives would go on
record against accepting the proposals
and yielding to the union demands for
waving the mems seniority rights,
but place themselves in position of
yielding under protest to virtual
"order" from the president.
At the same time il was thought
probable that the executives would
take action declaring that the presi-
dent and not they themselves, were
responsible for waving the seniority
question.
Railway workers should be back
on the Job within as hours or less
from the time the strike is settled,
Secretary Hoover said to-day. He de-
clined to comment upon the prospects
of settlement being reached at to-
morrow's meetings.
Secretary of Labor Davis expressed
confidence that the rail strike would
shortly be adjusted to the satisfaction
of the administration and that the
coal strike would be settled through
direct conferences between the oper-
ators and miners represent tives with
no further move on the part of the
government.

FIRE AT PLAINFIELD.
Boiler House Of Bobbin Mill Burned
Bucket Brigade Formed.

plainfield, July 3I--Plainfeld vii
lage was aroused from a quiet AM
peaceful Sabbath morning yesterday
by an alarm of fire, when the boiler
house OF the botbin min near the rail
road station was burned to the ground
The alarm was given at about . O'Clock
and bucket brigade coupled with the
fire engine worked heroically for nearly
an hour before the danger Of a confl-
grafton was subdued
The night watchman had left the
premises and the day man, who was
to take his place, was eating breakfast
when the fire was discovered, so that
the real cause may not be known, but
il is thought, after careful investiga-
tion, that the roof Of the boiler house
caught Are from the smoke stack, the
fire in the boiler being kept in over
Sunday.
In short time large crowd assem-
hled and bucket brigade was formed
from the river. This did splendid work
and no doubt saved the main part Of
the mill and other property nearby.
Special mention should be made of the
work of Arthur Woodcock, who stood
knee deep in the river and filed the
buckets of the men in the line. Some
difficulty was experienced in getting
the fire engine to work at first, but
later II WAS used to good advantage in
wetting down the large pile Of shavings
and sawdust near the mill which mad
caught fire from the boiler house Rc
main Goodridgc and Mernie Brown did
the grandstand STUNT by swimming
across the river to connect the hose to
the fire engine.
The Barre fire department was mott.
fed and in % minutes Chief Heney
and squad A arrived on the scene. He
looked the situation over and then COM
plimcnted the men on the fine work
done. The boiler house. frame build
ing, separate from the rest Of the mill,
was complete loss. although the boil
er is thought to be in usable condition
with new piping, which can be put in
place in about three days. Work will

erected The loss, estimated at $500. is
covered by insurance with the MeAllis-
ter & Kent agency of Barre.
The mill employs between Is and 20
men and nearly half of these were at
work this morning. The mill is owned
by Ward Carpenter and w. H. Martin.
Mr.. Carpenter was out of town but Mr..
Martin was loud in his praise of the
Efficient work done by the bucket bri-
gade and desires TO express his thanks

ONLY ONE OBJECTION.
To Request of Standard Oil Co. to
Place Tanks on West I'd St.

A hearing was held Saturday eve.
ming by the city council in its chamber
at the city hall 10 hear residents lv-
ing in the vicinity of West Second
street on the application of the Stand
ard Oil company fort permission for
the installation of gasoline tanks, on
their property at that point tena-
tive permit was granted two years
ago when the land was bought. Mike
Brozicevic of North Main street who
recently purchased property directly
opposite the proposed spot Of erection
was the only complainant 10 appear
before the council His main objection
TO the installation was the proximity
Of the tanks to the railroad tracks and
the danger of flying sparks. The
council explained to him that the tanks
we're to be set on end with light tops
that would very easily blow off in case
Of fire making the tanks burn like
torches instead Of exploding. They
cited numerous examples Of cases
where tanks had been placed without
accident to any The fact that the
tanks are not of the gravity type was
also given as a reason for safety TO
cether with the fact that where tanks
were placed on end the insurance rates
remained the same. Mr.. Brozicvic
was also informed that the tanks were
to be placed l20 feet from the street
making the fire risk much less. The
matter was then left in the hands Of
the council and as no others entered
complaints the meeting was adjourned.
Mavor Shields also stated At the
meeting that c. Paul Jenniwen sculptor
of the soldiers and sailors monument
was anxious to begin work on the
memorial He was instructed 60 90
ahead with the work.

TO the suit Of Deputy Sheriff Henry G

est nor am ! the real defendant in in
terest
A certain mortgage was placed in
my hands for foreclosure by the owner
and also bond was furnished me for
my protection by the owner of this
mortgage in the sum Of $4,000. There
had been placed writ in Mr.. Lawson's
hands directing him 10 attach this
property. A controversy as to the
title TO the property having arisen be-
tween the parties it became necessary
in order to settle this controversy as
to the title to institute the suit in
the manner and form in which it was
instituted. AS matter of fact nei-
