when Fairchild came forth from the
Richmond home, and true to his In
structions from the frightened girl. he
brushed past them swiftly and went
on down the street. not turning at the
muttered invectives which came from
the crooked lips OF the older man, not
seeming even TO notice their presence

bed he sought to think, but in vain.

O'Cornor. secretary of the American
delegation of the Irish Republican Party
we have some of the foremost repre-
sentatives OF the New York bar at work
on the case and they have instructed me
to say nothing further than that the case
is under advisement and no immediate
action Is contemplated because none Is
necessary"
Are you going to wait until you re-
ceive word from De Valera before pro-
ceeding?"
Yes. The other side cannot obtain
a judgment by default and we have
plenty of time They cannot move for
at least sixty days. We are not incon-
venienced by the suit in the least.
Meanwhile our lawyers are looking into
every phase of the case"

and have followed UP the cables by

There have been no acquisitions
against the moneys on deposit here since
April" went on Mr.. O'Connor in answer
to other questions. 1--WE were not using
the money and the injunction was quite
unnecessary. Therefore the fact that
the fund is tied up by the injunction has
no effect whatever on us. The expenses
Of this office are met out of other funds,
coming from the other side. This Is a
political Office and our money comes from
quite different sources
I'VE have plenty of money with
which to fight this injunction suit,

from people who subscribed for the cer-
tifcates and they all protest that they

Tells OF the Ambush.

Among those who followed the body
of Collins from the ship to st. Vincent's
Hospital was a young chap in ragged
civilian clothes who carried "a Lewis
gun which had helped to drive of Col
lins's attackers This is the story he
tcld:
The car in which Collins was riding
ran into an ambuscadc. There were at
least go of them in the ambushing
party against twelve OF us We had not
gone more than 100 yards from the vii
lage when from both sides we caught
the deadly fire OF the machine guns.
The driver of Collins's car wanted 10
20 ahead at fun speed. but Collins or
dered him to stop and took command
of the situation. Ha directed our fire
against the irregulars. For nearly an
hour two machine guns kept up an in
cessant fire, but up to then no one was
hurt. and It began to look as IL the
irreguars were going to scatter.
1T was during y iull in the fire Of the
attackers that Mick noticed "a sniper
creeping on his hands ard knees some
distance down the road behind him.
Mick Immediately went a dozen yards
I'm that direction with the intention OF
stopping any further encircling move-
ment. At that time heavy firing swept
the road from both sides. The gun in
the whippet car behind MIck's open car
had iammed and our fire had lessened.
THE sudden burst Of fire from the
sides of the road caused Collins to
turn around and few seconds later
he lay dying. But as he lay there he
kept shouting words of encouragement
TO the men to 20 on and not mind
him. Immediately the cry arose: Col

side. Although bleeding terribly and
ir great pain he lived for fifteen min

Granard. County Longford. to whom the
Irish Commander In Cnlet had been en-

Even before the death of Collins Miss
kiernan's life had not been all bliss.

CHILD LABOR PROBLEM
INTERESTS GOVERNMENT.
President Harding Indicates Inten-
tion of Addressing Congress
on Vital Subject.

Washington, June 19.-President
Harding has indicated that he pro-
poses to advise with congress on the
subject of a possible constitutional
amendment governing child labor. 1t
Is known that the president is heartily
in sympathy with the idea that the
world of commerce should not exploit
children, and that he believes most
thoroughly in the American doctrine
that every child should have an equal
chance at an education and a career.
TIE recent decision of the supreme
court regarding child labor legislation
left matters just where they were,
as far as the little toilers are con-
cerned.
1t should be noted that the attitude
of the president and that of Secre-
tary of Labor Davis on the matter
is heartily sympathetic with the idea
that all children should have chance
to learn a trade or profession or busi-
ness; anti-child labor laws, whether
state or constitutional, should not be,
in the judgment 6f these eminent Of
ficials, of such character as to hinder
the development of a means of max
ing a child a capable earning citizen.
Secretary Davis, addressing an asso-
citation in Washington recently, stated:
"There is nothing more pitiful than
a man who is unable to eam his liv-
ing. Every man should be as proud
of his particular trade as he would
be if he were selected president of
the United States. IF a man knows
his trade thoroughly he has pref
ty good education to start with"
