PUBLIC OPINION

IRISH RADICALS

London, April 10.-(By the Asso-
ciated Press will the extremist Re
publicans in Ireland observe the an
nversary of the Easter week uprising
against Great Britain in 1916 by again
attemptin gthi; Easter week to Dust
the provisional governments and estab-
lsh a republic in its place? This is
question that is being seriously dis
cussed in well-infOrmed circles both
in England and ireland. The London
Daily Mails Dublin correspondent de-
clares that this phase of Ireland's
perpleXities has been rather freely
aired in Dublin and that opinion there
differs widely. The correspondent is
convinced that the provisional govern
ment will do nothing to provike re-
bellion by attempts to restore order.
He is less clear about the attitude
of the more radical Republicans and
appears to think later action depends
on how far they believe they can sway
public opinion with them. The CORE
spondent remarks that the extreme
Republicans are already in i'll favor
with the generally recognized think
ing element in ireland and also with
the great bulk of the general public.

CUSTODIAN OF
ALIEN PROPERTY
MAKES REPORT
Report Filed By Thomas
Miller In Response To
Resolution By Sen.
King, DEM, Utah :
May Affect Our Eco
nomic Relations With
Foreign P o W ers In
Final Settlement

Washington, April 10.-An account
ing of the $350000,0 900 worth OF en-
emy property held by the government
was given the Senate today in re-
port-the first compiled since Febru-
dry. 19l9-filed by Alien Property
Custodian Thomas w. Miller. in re-
sponse to a resolution by Senator
King. Democrat. of Utah.
The final disposition of this prop
erty." Mr.. Miller said. will undoubt-
edly have a direct bearing on the eco
nomic relations between this country
and Europe with particular reference
to the late enemy powers. The Sc
questercd property will also have
bearing on the question OF the settle
ment of American claims against Ger
many
Discussing the $415, 100000 of Amer
lean claims against Germany, Mr..
Miller recalled the terms of the Knox
Porter peace resolution indicating
that no disposition should be made of
enemy property held by the United
States until the German government
had provided for the satisfaction of
all American claims. He asserted that
congress must develop some plan
whereby American claims against
Germany may be adiudicated by some
proper tribunal created by law.
There are several classes of claims
against Germany" Mr.. Miller said, "as
for instance. those of Americans
whose cash was seized by the Ger
man custodian. and who are now be-
ing offered the return of their money
at the deprecated value of the mark,
which today is valued at one-third of
a cent for each mark or a reduction
Of 720 per cent from the pre-war
value This proposition amounts to
practical contiscaticn on the part of
the German government. There are
also claims on file with the state de-
partment for the loss of property and
life at sea, growing out of submarine
sinks previous to April 6, 1917.

avenge an alleged insult to the Sis
ter of William "Sailor" Friedman,

ing of four others. Friedman is ex-
pected to surrender today and give

believed to have been an innocent by
stander. One of those wounded is
Charles Hadsman, who is alleged to
have insulted Mrs. Dora Greenburg,
sister of the fighter.

port that the fight was the outgrowth
of trouble between rival gangs Of

According to witnesses questioned
by officers four men entered the sa-
loon. glanced about and started shoot
ing. After firing about twenty shots

ATTORNEY GENERAL
DAUGHERTY AT INDIANAPOLIS

Indianapolis, April 10-Attorney
General Daugherty, who arrived here
from Washington today unannounced,
was declared authoritatively to be
considering the dismissal of indict-
ments pending here in Federal court
which some operators have declared
made impossible any wage confer
ence that would end the coal strike,
which began April 1.
The Attorney Generals mission was
kept secret and he refused to state
its purpose, declaring he could say
nothing until investigation of the pur-
pose of the injunction and until am
satisfied that any action is right"
indianapolis, Ind, April 10.-Mr.
Daugherty, it was learned, was
scheduled to have a conference dur
ing the afternoon with Federal Judge
A. B. Anderson before whom is pend
ing the indictments charging 225 coal
operators, union leaders and others
with violating the Sherman anti
trust law by a conspiracy to monop-
iolize the coal industry and control
prices. l.. Ert Slack, special prose-
cutor of the case, also was to meet
with the attorney general, but he
said he had no conference arranged
at the time of the attorney generals
arrival here. Other federal officers
also union leaders declared they did
not know the purpose of Mr.. Daugh-
erty's visit and Mr.. Daugherty re-
fused to make any statement regard
ing his plans.
The indictments, which the attor-
ney general was said to be consider
ing were an outgrowth of the 1913
soft coal strike, although the cases
were not brought until sofe time af-
ter the settlement of that labor dis
turbance, which involved 100000 un-
ion mnerS.
Much Of the government case ap-
parently hinged on the wage confer
ences between miners and operators,
it being charged that the conspiracy
originated in 1858 when an interstate
wage scale covering western Penn
sylvania, Ohio, Illinois and Indiana
was made by operators and miners.
Conversions given the miners in
wages and working conditions by the
operators, 1t was charged, were on
account of tactic agreement to mo-
nopolize the coal markets for the op-
orators of the four states.
