NO DECISION ON
IRISH QUESTION
Public SkepticaI of Results of
Peace Conference Held
in Dublin

DUBLIN, April 2o.-(By The AS
sociated Press).-Little hope for
tangible results in the direction of
peace was expressed on resumption
today of the peace conference lbe-
tween Free Staters and republicans
although Lord Mayor O'NeiH and
Archbishop Bryne have exerted
themselves to the utmost since ad-
journment last week to bring about
an understanding.
The public is generally skeptical
OF results.
The lord mayor said that should
the meeting fail an early combina-
ton of the forces of capital and la
Dor might be looked for in an effort
to end disorders. 1t seems consid-
erably in doubt. however, whether
labor would combine with capital, as
Irish labor has ever been suspicious
of any such alliance whatever the
object.
Eamon de Valera, republican lead
er. is credited with the intention TO
propose that leaders of rival Sec
tions of the Irish republican army
Richard Mulchey for the Free
Staters and Roderick (Rory) O'Con-
nor. for the republicans-be called
in 10 share in the discussion.
One of the main stumbling blocks
in the way of an understanding is
the apparent irreconeilability of the
two parties regarding the holding
of elections on the existing parlia-
mentary register.
Arthur Grifiths is said 70 hold
firmly to his view that the elections
cannot be postponed beyond the
first week in June. while Mr.. de VAL
era contends that a new register is
indispensable TO obtaining the popu-
lar verdict at the polls, whatever
delay its preparations may entail.
DUBLIN, April 20 (By The Asso-
ciated Press)-Last night was the
worst Dublin has experienced since
Easter, so tar as noise is concerned.
The residents were kept awake by
continuous rifle and machine gun
fire and noise of military lorries
rushing TO the relief of places at
tackled, but thus far only one cas-
ualty has been reported.
Several buildings occupied by the
provisional Free State government
and guarded by official troops. were
attacked. The headquarters Of the
provision Free State government IN
the College of Science. were attacked
from front and rear. but despite ter
rife firing entry was not effected.
The ci.y hall and telephone ex-
change aisc were heavily assaulted
Midnight had scarcely past when
heavy volleys of revolver shots were
heard, while opposing parties ex-
changed shots up and down Abbey
street Firing was observed from
the old general postoffice at Connei
street and Parnell square.
Occasionally the short sharp
cracking of revolvers and auto
matics was almost silenced by re-
ports of rifles, and there was quick
discharge of machine guns.
At about 1890 O'Clock there was
a lull in the battle, but twenty min
utes later rapid volleys were heard
in the vicinity of O'Connell's bridge.
The uproar soon subsided and quiet
was restored shortly after / A. M

WORKMEN HURT
AS ARCH FALLS
At ME!UCHEN
Plant Refuses to Give Infor-
nation Victims Taken to
City Hospital Here

One man was killed and several
injured at the Metuchen plant of the
General Ceramics Company about .
o'clock this afternoon when an arch.
which was being repaired, collapsed
according to reports late this after
noon. Seven of the injured men were
brought to the Perth Amboy City
Hospital. Others were reported to
have been injured but not seriously
enough to be removed TO the hospital
for attention.
All efforts to secure information
from the plant as to who the dead
and injured men were and how the
accident occurred were without avail.
Superintendent Frederick Minton
when questioned over the telephone
refused to make any statement what
soever and would give no informa-
ton.
AS the first thought of. the local
hospital attendants was TO give the
injured men treatment it was impos-
sible to secure the names of the in
jured men confined in that institu-
tion. An emergency call for doctors
was sent out from the hospital and
all of the nurses who were off duty
were summoned back in order 10
properly care for the injured.
The name of the dead man could
not be learned from any source up
till the time of going to press. A
call was received by the local police
for the ambulance and it was sent
to the plant at once where it took
on the injured men and rushed them
to the hospital.
Many persons residing near the
plant were called on the telephone
in an effort to learn the name of the
dead man or the identity of the in
jured but no one knew anything Of
the accident.
Whether the injured men are reg
ular employees of the Ceramics works
or construction men engaged to
make repairs on the buildings could
not be learned.

the payment of the sum Germany
has derived from the sale of Russian
army materials, transported into
Germany.")

cabinet, are to insist that energetic
measures must be taken and penal
ties applied to Germany il the Russo
German treaty is not abrogated. re-
gardless of what the Genoa confer

The premier's position is that
there can be no more hesitation In
the execution of the Versailles treaty

sisted upon now, with evidences OF
determination on the part of the al
lies, the Versailles pact might as wen
be abandoned altogether.
He holds none of the concessions

spect to Cancellation, but rather that
they have been taken by Germany as
evidences of the weakness of the al
lies. and as encouragement for fur
ther resistance.

Zip for consideration. There was
only one ether case scheduled to
come before the Public Utility Com
miaslcE .oday, In anticipation of a
long sessicn in the grade crossing
elimination case.
Commissioner Osborne asked If
the city and railroads had reached
any agreement as to the plans which
are to be adopted. Attorney Holmes
submitted by the city are impossi-
ble." Nothing further was said on
the matter, the next case on the list
being called by President Osborne.
Tilt at City Hall
At last nights meeting of the
Board of Aldermen, Alderman John
J. Clark made a motion instructing
the city engineer to go before the
Utility Board today on the railroad
crossing matter. This came some
what as a surprise. especially to Al.
derman Mcguire, who had a tilt
with Clark on the matter. Alder
man Mcguire asked if Louis Booz
also was.to go. and Alderman Clark
replied in the affirmative.
Engineer Larson said nothing at
the meeting when this motion came
up, but after the meeting, in telling
the aldermen individually, declared
that he did not relish going up be-
fore the utility board at this late
date. He pointed out that he was
ignored at the first of the year when
special engineer was secured, and
now that conditions are "befuddied
and fooled" the aldermen were call
ing on him. He declared further
that if he went up he would not take
any responsibility. The senator
said he did not think the action was
fair.
Efforts were made by Alderman
at-large Calvin and Alderman Clark
to smooth over conditions, but the
city engineer left city hall in an
angry mood. Alderman MCGUIRE
said that Clark's motion was not re-
ferred TO him before the, meeting.
Alderman Calvin declared that the
purpose of such a motion was to get
the best possible for the people.

leader of his party in matters OF legislation and ha
elected to assert his leadership on the Ship Subsidy
or Ship Bonus Bill, it hailed with jov bv thai
part of the Republican press which had been criti-
cising him for his failure to lead and was accepted
by the Democrats as acknowledgement by Persi-
dent Harding himself that the reactionarv Repub-
can Congress failure and without leader
ship The Democrats accepted the announcement
with many misgivngs that it would continue long
over the weekend, and in any event with the be-
lief that it would meet with disastrous results be-
cause the President was testing his leadership on
bill to which the American people as whole
opposed, both in its terms and as matter OF
policy
Within week after the Presidents assumption
of leadership the expected has happened at the
first sign OF resistance the leader is in retreat In
stead of obtaining his demand for steady action on
the Ship Subsidy bill, the leader has consented to
its postponenent until the pending Tariff bill and
the Soldiers Bonus Bill shall have been disposed Of
