 Nearly every town and village in Ulster was visited, but the bulk of the prisoners was taken in the country districts, from farm houses. Com paratively few captures were made in Belfast, as most of the Irish RepubIi- can army men living in the Sim Fein districts of Belfast, anticipating &C., ton by the police a, result of the Twaddeu assassination had gone Ion the run.'

Sunshine Homes
 Hearing Tomorrow

Further investigation of the Sum- shine Homes and Concrete Products company which was begun a week ago by the May Grand Jury of Bronx County will begin tomorrow. It is very probable that Simon Lake will be called to testify. Indictments are expected to be returned against the officers and directors of the company on charge of obtaining money under false pretenses, it being alleged that they accepted money for the homes and then failed to fulfill the contract
 It is expected that if they are found guilty they will try to shield them selves behind a defense that they were expecting some mysterious packer to come forward with a large amount of capital and carry the company along until it became Self-supporting.
