DEATH Seen AS
THREAT OF WAR
Kelvin O'Higgins Assassi.
mated on Way to Church
Near Dublin Sunday.
BY GEORGE MACDONAGH
United Press Staff Correspondent


DUBLIN, July 11.-Kevin OHig-
gins, vice president of the Free State
government, was assassinated on
his way to church Sunday by a vol
ley of shots whose echoes carried
throughout Ireland a threat of re-
newed civil war.
O'Higgins, a back-Stage MuSSo-
lini, whose square, unflinching de-
termination had brought the Free
State through the stormy tllroes
that marked it's birth, was walking
to mass.
Soon after he had left his home
in Blackjack, fashionable seaside
suburb, five miles from Dublin, an
automobile approached him bearing
the three assassins.
Fire From Passing Car
Usually O'Higgins was accom-
panied by priest on his way to
mass, but he had returned only Fri
day from Geneva, where he had as
minister of external affairs, another
of his governmental posts, observed
the naval limitation conference
activities.
AS he entered Sans Souci Ave-,
dark spot overhung with trees, the
men opened fire from the passing
automobile.
O'Higgins staggered across the
road and fell, hitting his head heav-
lily against lamp post.
His assassins fired another volley
at his PROSTATE form and continued
on their way.
Bleeding from eight wounds in
head and body, O'Higgins was taken
to his home in an ambulance sum-
monede by men in the crowd that
had gathered quickly.
Five hours later, shortly before 5
p. m, he died.
Civil War Is Feared
Government officials in Dublin
in the meantime, called out the civic
guard reserves and orderede search
to be made of all automobiles trav-
cling in Dublin County.
Discussing the assassination, the
populace was more concerned with
the reason for the murder than
with the assassination of perhaps
the leading Irish statesman.
To the popular mind there was a
simple explanation of the crime, at
a time when Ireland was becoming
again almost crimeless, it was the
opening volleey, without a formal
declaration of hostilities, of what
might become, within a few weeks, a
civil war unless the government was
able quickly to arrest and promptly
and firmly to punish the assassins.

Senator Walcott. of Norfolk
chairman Of the finance committee
and House Leader Averlll OF Bran
ford had no statement to make at
the present time, Mr.. Averill init
mated he would oppose the issue.
Senator kenealy. chairman Of the
roads. bridges and rivers committee
said his committee had not gotten
to the point of drafting bill for a
bond issue. He himself was not OPP
posed to bond issue or plan for
good road construction.
George Hall Approves.
Another senator who could see no
serious objection to a bond issue
was Senator George Hall. OF New
Haven. He believed that all of the
roads could be built within short
time and then paid for with the
receipts OF the motor vehicle de-
partment. A s20,0o0,Oo0 bond issue
could be paid off in this way in five
years, he said.
Mr.. Lynch of Orange who yester-
day offered the amendment for a
100000 appropriation for state aid
road construction to J. dirt road
bill sponsored by DR.. Higgins. of
Coventry said he was against any
large bond issue for good roads at
this time. He favored an issue OF
SO, 900 every three years, the
bonds to be retired by third of
the receipts of the motor vehicle de-
partment from gasoline taxes and
motor licenses At the cost Of 800
1900 mile, it would take only a few
years to build the remaining IN
paved $50 Of state trunk line and
240 miles of state aid roads BY
taking only a third of the motor de-
partment receipts which last year
amounted, to nearly 100000 there
would beN several million left for
maintenance and repairs each year.
Mr.. Warner OF Hs mden. a mem
Der o. the roads committee said it
had been estimated in committee
that s73.0o0,00o would be needed to
complete all Of the roads Of the
state. He favored the completion Of
all the roads because there would be
a great saving in not having to move
from one section Of road when
paved to another spot several miles
distant and then pave that as is done
under the present system of i'm
proving roads.
