London, Jan. Both. The India Office
tonight published the report of the Com
mittee a pointed to investigate the death
of 81 Moplahs in a railway carriage on
November 10Th in the Madras Presidency
of India. The Committee holds that the
main responsibility rests with the rail
way company and its local traffic inspec-
tor, for failure to l0perly ventilate the
carriage. The Com nittee finds that
death was due to a~sphyxiation, owing to
insufficient ventilation, and says that
similar vans were Used TO convey more
chan 2, 800 prisoners without mlShap but
that van had gauzo covers on the win
doWs which were checked with paint. A
local police sergeant was found guilty Of
negligence in failing TO note the cOndl-
ton of the prisoners on the way.

troops depart, not only from Dublin, but
from other points. Departure OF tn
Dublin garrison is due to begin this
week. and the newspapers are specuIas-
ing as to how the vacated barracks will
be utilized. 1t is suggested they might
be used to relieve the pressure OF nous
ing problem. There will be five barracks
available in Dublin, and it is urged that at
co comparatively small expenses, they might
be converted into workmens dwellings.
Throughout Ireland similar buildings are
falling under control of the new Irish
Government and some may be needed for
the new Irish army, although nothing
has yet been decided in regard to the
size of that body. 1t is taken for grant
ed that it will be established permanent
ly and green uniforms are being manu-
featured in Dublin on a large scale. IT
is noteworthy that the evacuation has
occurred everywhere without any mani
~festation whatever from the people.
There has been no sign either of popular
rejoicing or regret. In ONE cases the
departure of the troops will be a serious
loss to towns which benefited largely
from the money spent by the soldiers,
and there was a time when the reduction
of their garrison would have been
regarded as a cause for grievance,
and have provoked Parliamentary pro-
test. The spirit in Ireland has changed
all that nevertheless: until new cOndi-
tons have been created. in such towns
as Newbridge and FermOy they will suf-
fer to a considerable extent financially,
through the departure of the soldiers.
The task of maintaining order is now en-
tirely committed to the Provisional Gov
eminent whic has acted energeticaIIy in
parts of Tipperary where the liWless
element seemed about to get out Of hand.
Martial law was proclaimed and serious
penalties threatened for the unauthorized
carrying of arms. Army authorities even
imposed a rigid law compelling every
body to remain indoors after eight o'clock
in the evenings. Although the evacua-
ton of troops is to be complete. it is on
ly from Southern Ireland for the pur-
poses of the treaty in this district. North
ern Ireland counts as though it were
England. and accordingly large bodies
of troops are fulfilling the promise to
evacuate simply by marching across the
border into Ulster. The announcement
by Il e Premier Sir James craig in Bel
fast that the British Govt, had promised
him it would leave twelve battaliOns in
Northern Ireland is regarded suspicious

Arrest POstoffice Clerk in New

NEW YORK, June s.--Moses D. Kest-
linger, a clerk in the city hall postoffice.

on charge Of stealing an insured par
eel containing pearl necklaces, which
had been mailed to a Nashville. Tennes-
see, department store. The value of the
parcel was not made known. United
States Commissioner Hitchcock held him
in $1,000 bail for further examination.
According to federal authorities, the
arrest of Kestlinger revealed him to be
but a cog in an organized syndicate Of
crooks, operating nationally, which is in
possession of plans of postoffices in New
York City, and elsewhere. The crook
organization, the authorities say, also
has charted data on the movements OF
mail trains and registered mail. Crooks
within the inner circles of the postal
thief band, the federal authorities said,
have cashed in on this information in
excess of $10,00o,0OO in two years.
The federal authorities further aver
that information concerning mail move
ment and postoffice plans throughout
the country is sold in the under world
to any of its denizens who wish to pur-
chase. A large number of men who
have held temporary positions in the
postal service are said to be identified
with the robber ring.
