IRISH Chief INSISTS
REBELS YIELD ARMS
Must Give Up Weapons For
Lasting Peace, Is
UItimatum.
BY international News Service.


DUBLIN, Jan. 6.-President Will
liam r. Cosgrave. Of the Dali
Eireann, replying to the peace pro-
posals of the republicans, issued an
ultimatum this afternoon that the
republican irregulars must give up
their arms before peace can be con-
cluded
"If we gave them (the republicans
a truce at this time, leaving them
Their arms, in q few months we
again would face terrible bloodshed
such as we have experienced in the
past six months said President
Cosgrave. "Eamonn de Valera
started the war. No government
can tolerate armed bandits. The PEG.
pie desire peace, but they must have
lasting peace. From all come re.
ports to indicate that the struggle
Is beginning to reach it's end. Many
republicans voluntarily are giving
up their arms"
The Free State government, re.
plying to De Valera's charge that
it is unconstitutional, declared that
Arthur Griffith was never "presi.
dent Of the Irish Republic" The
actual position Of Griffith, it was
declared, was a similar to that of
premier. Griffith was president,
only in the same sense as De Valera
who adopted the title while in
America.
Armed bands bombed a train and
wrecked another, injuring seven
persons on the outskirts Of Dublin
today.

men were each broken in three
places. twenty-four breaks in all.
RIBS ALL BROKEN.
The ribs and breastbones were
fractured In identical fashion.
The skulls were crushed, either
by the device of torture" or by
other implements. The lower part
Of the skull remained, connected with
the neck bones; but the skulls were
mere sacks, the brain gone and
rafting like dry gouris with the
crushed pieces of the skull top"
The backboneS were intact, as
was the pelvic circle. The force
had not been applied there. Muscle
and tendon edges were frayed and
pulled. Coagulated blood cells told
their story Of living, slow torture

BONES ON DISPLAY.
To the Doctors vivid testimony
there was added mute testimony
of the bones OF the dead men. It

tion, q bill was introduced in the
Senate yesterday by Senator Smith

to all Federal courts the same powers
conferred in. q bill confined to the
District Of Columbia which was iIl-
troduced three weeks ago.
The bill provides in part that all
children under Is years Of age who
commit acts which violate any laws
OF the United States shall be legally
designated as infants in law and
10 criminal processes shall be used
in any United States courts In the
prosecution Of any child under II

''The Federal laws make no dis

The little tired old man, with his
sandy mustache and gold.rimmed
glasses, was q witness himself to
tell of his own whipping at the
hands Of the mob, but he won the
heart of the crowd long before
that. The swing Of sympathy came
when he sat on the edge of his
chair, hands gripping the wood,
and gazed with a twisted face at
twelve crushed bones which the
State called an exhibit"
They were pasted on a huge
piece of white cardboard, shining
oddly as the sunlight fell upon them
from a high window. The exhibit
was a part Of HIS son, which the
minds of science had robbed from
the grave, the better to bring his
sIayers to Justice.
The old man gazed oddly and
then turned away to let tears trickle
down his care-worn face.
