Hope of Unity
Sim Fein on
Irish Pact

Dublin, Feb. 21.-(By A. P.)-
There is possibility that a split in
the Sim Fein over the Anglo Irish
treaty will be avoided. The Ard
Fheis. the national Sim Fein con-
vention which met at the Mansion
House today for the purpose of defin-
ing the attitude of the Sim Fem
clubs on the treaty, whether for
Free State or Republic, adjourned
until tomorrow with instructions to
the leaders of the two parties to
come together and devise a plan to
keep the Sim Fein organization
united.
This unexpected outcome was
due to the direct initiative
of the meeting in general.
and was not prompted by
the leaders of either side. After
canon DeNalera had presented a
resolution pledging adherence to the
constitution adopted by the Ard
theis in 1917, looking to "interna-
tional recognition of Ireland as an
Independent republic" and stated
his objections to the treaty on Re-
publican principles, the debate, I'M
like the discussion in the Dali
Eireann, did not settle down into
an examination Of the merits and de-
merits of the treaty.
Speakers reinforced the plea that
the leaders should endeayor to avoid
split, the most notable being
priests, who, without exception took
this line. The matter finally was
settled by the intervention OF Rich
ard Mulcahy, who as minister Of de-
fence and head of the army, carries
great weight.
Mr.. Mulcahy framed a resolution
directing that the leaders meet to-
night and seek a basis of agreement
for submission to the convention to-
morrow.
SO strong was the sentiment fr
unity that a priest was suggested
that the party leaders on both sides
should be dcposed if necessary. to
keep the organization intact, rcceiv-
cd applause.

Gas Feeds Flames

Long after dark tonight, many
hours after her fall, the ship was still
a mass of flames from end to end of
her 40 foot mass. The fire fed on
the million cubic fet OF gas which had
distended the great bag for the fight
and made all attempts at rescue fu-
tile.
: Barely dozen of those aboard were
picked up alive and one of these died
on the way to the hospital. All of
those who survived thc fire escaped
by jumping as the ship struck. The
others, penned in the Eull were burn
ed to death.
The flames were finally brought in
to submission by three fire depart
ments who fought them with chem
icals. Derricks picked up the wreck
age which consisted Of scarcely more
than the aluminium frame work and
the six liberty motors of the once
proud ship of the air. Within the
wreckage lay the bodies, practically
all charred beyond recognition. Be
fore the night ad passed 33 bodies
had been removed, account for the
last of those who We're known to have
taken flight on the fatal voyage.
Accounts of survivors and of eye
witnesses as to what had happened
appeared to agree tonight that the
huge kite-like structure of the stern
rudder, itself as large as a bombing
plane had slipped to enc side as the
Roma drove along a thousand feet
above the army base.

BY utilizing all modern practical de-
vices northern Minnesota railroads
operating thru long stretches of for
est country where the serious forest
and brush fires originate, are win
ming a bitter battle with fire accord
ing to William Byrne, railway fire
patrol supervisor of the Minnesota
forestry service.
The railroads. after several had been
held directly responsible for some of
the more serious fires of the 1918
conflagrat ton and forced by the courts
to pay. thru the government, millions
of dollars to fire sufferers, set about
Immediately to prepare against re-
currence, as far as they were con-
cerned.
The present system of railway fire
prevention and suppression was given
a test during the recent emergency
in the north woods. Supervisor Byrne
cited the case of the Duluth, Missa be
& Northern railway. This road is one
of the largest ore-carrying lines in
the Lake Superior district and oper-
ated dozens of trains daily thru that
section of the woods left like finder
by the protracted drodth.
This road. by using small fleet
of speeders to follow up every train
and report every fire caused by sparks
and by dispatching a special train to
extinguish the fires, kept scores of
small fires TO the right-of-Way bound
airy.
The D. NJ. & Ms fire train is one
of the most complete in use in this
state. 1t consists of a large freight
engine, four tank cars with a total ca
pacity of 10000 gallons of water, a
high pressure steam pump attached
to the locomotive and a caboose.
For almost u week during the
emergency w W. Stewart, fire patrol
supervisor for the road, witt a crew
of ten men combed the main right-o Of
way night and day and with the
pumps shooting a stream of water one
and one-half inches in diameter to
within radius of fifty feet of the
track quenched every fire. Other rail-
roads fighting fire On a smaller scale
were equally successful, Mr.. Byrne
said.
