Free State Defeat of In.
surgents Presages
Strife's End.

London, July 7.-(By the Associ-
ated Press. s.)-The provisional Irish
Free State government, by its sub
stantial victory over the insurgent
republican forces in Dublin, is be-
lieved to have taken long step
toward establishing itself firmly
and bringing peace to Ireland.
The ready response to the ma
tional call to arms is regarded as
encouraging, and as further proof
that most Irishmen are back of the
new government, and opposed to
the republican extremists.
Indications are not lacking, how
ever, that Michael Collins and his
colleagues will need all the sup
port they can get to put down the
remaining resistance, which, ac-
cording to reports from some cor
respondents in Dublin, is Of an
important character.
viii Need Many Soldiers.
1t is predicted that the provis-
ional government will need to en-
;: roll soldiers to the full strength
allowed under the Anglo-Irish
| treaty and will then have none toe
many for the job Of rounding up
the guerrilla bands acting under
orders of the republican headquar-
tiers.
Republican headquarters at NAL
low is issuing daily bulletins claim
ing that the irregulars are holding
large areas and making rapid pro-
gress in several directions, but
there are no means Of sitting these
! or other reports from the south and
southwest, owing to the difficulties
of communication. This applies
also to reports from practically all
the provincial areas.
The public is still kept guessing
as to the whereabouts of Eamon
de Valera.
Control Irish Midlands.
Belfast, July 7.-(By the Associ-
ated Press. ALI of the Irish mid
lands are now under control of the
provisional government forces.
The fighting at Clonyn Castle
and Rosmead house at Delvin
County Westmeath, ended with the
surrender of the republican garri-
sons to Captain Conlon of the Free
State forces The prisoners were
removed to the Mullingar barracks.
: A lorry load of ammunition was
taken from both buildings. .
Boyle, County Roscommon, was
taken by national troops under
! Major General McKeen after an at
tack lasting several days. The re-
publicans, driven from pillar to
post, made their last stand in q h0-
tel.

20 Years Unrivaled.
For 20 years the bridge was
without a rival. Then came the
williamsburg bridge, the Maniac
tan bridge and the greensboro
bridge. The hurry and surge of
both business and pleasure traffic
increased over the newer struc-
lures but today Brooklyn bridge
was back at the pace of its youth
the pace Of the iron-tired trucks
and heavy hoofed Percheron draft
horses.
In order to expedite the flow OF
traffic over the Manhattan bridge,
the order Of Commissioner Whalen
provides that the lower roadway
shall carry motor traffic coming
from Brooklyn from a. m. to noon
while it will carry eastbound traf-
fic from noon to p. m. At night
only westbOund traffic will be al
lowed. No horse-drawn vehicles
will be allowed on it whatever
Therefore the shrek of the motor
horn on Brooklyn bridge has been
stilled forever in favor of the yells

shod hoofs on its clattering planks

In President Frank Harrington Of
the Illinois Mine Workers by his

President Harrington told the
board Of the conference with the
operators and government repre-
sentatives at Washington last week,
which will be reconvened next Mon
day. He told them of the apparent
futility of the governments efforts,
and added that he expected the gov
ernment planned Intervention.
Springfield Men Barred
After dwelling upon the antici-
pated Intervention, he disclosed his
plan for a separate wage agreement

New York, July THE wheels
OF progress that rumbled over
Brooklyn bridge today were horse

structure, long one OF the engineer
ing marvels OF the world, has been
deposed from the proud position it
held for years as the main artery
Of traffic between Manhattan and
Long Island by the present day de-
mand for speed. At 4 O'Clock this
morning all motor driven vehicles
were barred from the roadways of
the bridge by order Of Grover A.
Whalen, commissioner of plant and
structures of the city of New York.
Horse Vehicles Only.
Motor traffic has been diverted
by the order to the newer and
more commodious roadways OF
the Manhattan and Williamsburg
bridges. The volume of traffic both
across the East river of commercial
and pleasure vehicles has grown
until congestion threatened all the
connecting surface links between
Brooklyn and New York. The mix
ture Of slow horse drawn wagons
and fast motor driven vehicles, far
separated in range Of speed, added
to that congestion and it was de-
cided to relegate the slower traffic
to the older structure,
For years the old bridge main

On the day the bridge was opened
in May, 1883, a procession of war

President Harding wants the pow
ers of the tariff commission en-
larged and he will insist upon a
provision to that effect in the pend
ing tariff bill.
Senator McCumber. chairman Of
the finance committee of the SEN
ate, has just announced on the Aoor
of the senate that many Of the
changes in the bill since its intro
duction have been occasioned by
changing conditions from day to
day. Mr.. Harding is among those
who believe that IL conditions
change while the bill is under con-
sideration they will change when
it is law and some permanent ma
chinery for alteration must be pro.
vided because the senate dnance
committee cannot stay in continu-
Gus session to do the Job when once
the measure is law. ~.
Earnest Appeal Expected.
The president Is prepared to
make an earnest appeal for the
transfer Of this problem to the
hands Of the tariff commission. This
body at present has only powers o1
