RAID IN
D. G.
Free State Representatives
Ask Police Protection
For It's Offices.

Fearing raid here similar to
the recent attack on the Irish
consulate in New York, represen-
tatives of the Irish Free State,
with headquarters in rooms 1045-
46 Munsey Building, have appealed
to the police for protection. They
declare representatives Of the in
surgents in Ireland may attempt
to seize their offices here
Captain Brown, of the First po-
lice precinct, has visited the offices
and advised Prof. Timothy A.
Smiddy, representative of the de-
partment Of external affairs Of
the Free State, that all necessary
protection will be furnished.
Told to Call Police.
las soon as there Is any es1s.of
Main 40OO,'' Captain Brown instruct
ed Prof. Smiddy, then ask for the
First precinct. Tell the first man
who answers the phone that you are
having some trouble In a fifty our
men will be up there and you'll get
all the protection you need. !"
Prof. Smiddy, who will not see
newspaper men and carefully scruti.
nizes all other visitors seeking him.
personally interviewed Commissioner
James r. Oyster several days ago to
seek protection. The Commissioners
told him to put his request in writ
i ing.
Refers to Row in New York.
Prof. Smiddy in a letter to the
wished to advise him of the posi-.
his offices in the Munsey building
similar to that which took place
at the offices. of the Irish consulate
in New York"
"You may have seen from the
papers that the body of men and
women acting on behalf of the in.
surgents of Ireland endeavored to
close that OFFICE he said. Much
annoyance and trouble were, caused
! by that action and the business O1
| the office had to be suspended for
week. Finally, the police authors
ties of New York secured order on
| the premises by compelling these
people to leave the building in
which these offices are located.
1 After that they picketed the
town hall of New York and Mayor
Hylan, because he did not accede
/ to their preposterous demands.
Threatens to Come Here.
Lawrence Ginnell has notified
that he intends to come to Wash
ington this week and lay q similar
claim to the offices held by me on
behalf of the Irish Free State,
1045-46 Munsey building. II he
carries out his intentions he will
probably prepare the way with a
Mr.. Briscoe, as he has done in
New York, for some unpleasant
scenes in Washington.
There Is much to suggest that
there is a connection between these
people and threatening letters that
have been sent both to a Mr.. Nc.
Grath, who resigned his position
in that office, and to Lindsay Craw-
ford, the acting consul of that OF:
flee.
"These letters contained threat
on the lives 'of these men, I have
already given details on these mat
ters to the police Of New York.
Hence, the object of my visit to
you yesterday was to inform you
beforehand of trouble that may
arise in my office in this city. AS
regards the validity of my tenure
of the above offices / will refer you

POKER BILL.
By G. w. McC.l

Old Poker Bill is a bitter pill
To the boys down at the club,
He holds such mitts, he gives you
fits,
And makes you look like q dub.
When out on a bluff he bets
enough.
You twist and :squirm in your
chair:
With a devilish grin. he rakes in
the tin,
And shows you little pair.
Then you burn with hate and swear
you'll wait,
And put Old Bill to blush,
But the very next bet he'll show
you a set
OF tilrees or fours, or a flush.
Old Poker Bill is a bitter pill
To the boys down at the club.
The lucky bloke has got us broke.
Which l call a pretty hard rub.

while seated In my car waiting
| for q friend on HI street, just OPP
posite George Washington Hospital.
| the other evening, my attention
was attracted by q young woman
coming toward me. She was a
most beautiful, looking
woman, Her handkerchief was
pressed to her mouth and the tears
were raining down her cheeks.
just as she passed me she mOaned
out and It sounded as IL It were
coming from o stricken ANIMAL:
ooh, my boy, my boy; how could
you do II? You don't believe what
you said: you are killing me-"
| Then looking up and seeing my
eyes fastened on her, she just gave
q pitifuI little moan and hurried
on. But 1 Will never forget the
look In that wOmRn'S eyes. The
| only thing / can compare 1t to is
| the look one secs sometimes in the
l eyes of a little child when It Is be-
| ing punished and knows not what
| for, That woman Of such

evidence should be SO affected show
| ed plainly that she had been strick-
/ en- to the heart by someone she
idOlized and who had not aDOre-
ciated her worth, for, IL ever 1
saw truth and purity mirrOwed In
wOman's eyes, saw 1t in hers.
Why can't men appreclatae good
women? want to say right here
that / intend to make 1t the mis-
sion Of my life to find that girl.
