Irish Have Not Asked to
 Send an Envoy to U. $. A.

Dublin, Feb. 22.-The intention of the Irish Free State eventually to have an official envoy in Washington has long been announced by the gov ernment, but the report that permits sion has been asked from Washington for such action is stated here to be inaccurate, 1t is explained that the matter has not yet reached that stage, as the correct procedure requires the same preliminalies as for inc ap- pointment of an Irish representative in London. When the time for such an appointment comes British offi- cials will ascertain through the regu- lar diplomatic channels whether the man suggested by the Free State is persona grata to the United States. When an Irish envoy is appointed to Washington he will carry credentials similar to those Of the proposc1 Can adian representative.

 Dollar Bill

Bridgeport, Feb. 22.-Parents of Harold Israel who is held in connec- lion with the murder of Rev. Hubert Dahme have interested themselves in the case Of their son and in a letter to States Attorney Homer :. Cum mings they asked that he be given a fair trial.

 The jail officers yesterday gave to Israel letter which had come from his sister, Mary. and in which was a sl0 bill.
 Coroner Phelan will resume his in cGest tomorrow. Public Defender Beforest said that it was unlikely that Israel will take the stand. On Wednesday Mir. Deforest had his charge excused from testifying owing to the turn of the testimony and now Mir. Deforest is said to be reluctant to have Israel testify with the evil dence in his opinion. much more favorable to him. Mr. Deforest says that until the police offer additional evidence he ma" deem il inadNisable to have the accused testify in his own behalf. NIT. Deforest also said that Israel claims that at the time Father Dahme was slain he was at d thea ter. the Empire and that at no time between 7:S0 and 10;30 that evening was h. on Main street above Fairfield avenue. The evidence previously offered was to show that a man re- sembling Israel was seen on the street near Father Dahme about the time the latter was shot.
