free state army, as he lay dying
from an miinn't bullet last night.
They were addressed to Maj. Gen.

on Collins' party.
A Central News dispatch from
Dublin says it is reported that Maj.
Gen. Dalton himself was slightly in

ment. Shot From Ambush.
Collins was shot down from am
bush only a few hours after he had
been given .an ovation by the resi
dents of Cork City, which was freed
less than two weeks ago by military
under Collins' command. The place
where he fell is part 'of the con
stituency which be represented in the
Dail Eireann.
Thus, within ten days, two of the
most prominent figures in the new
Irish government have been re

with rifles, who rushed his car and
opened fire.
The Collins party returned the fire
and one of the assailants was cap
tured. Collins was not injured.

commander-in-chief of the national
army, was finance minister in the

little girl, go to it and see what you
can design." She did. The miss

gingham dresses that took the eye of
Mr. Coogan. Her name was Nina
Taylor.

And today, there is hardly I town
or village in thin country that hasn't
its stock of Mina Taylor dresses,
'tis said. Even bally I.ondon and gay

At least WW persons, mostly
women and girls, crowded into the
M. E. Smith roof garden yesterday

short of Dolitical "free love," and
when Norton was charged with be

merous other things, "Brother Char

At that time, the light against the

European Wheat
Crop Falls Short
Nations Expected to Import
582,000,000 BufdieU of
Grain Thia Year.
Washington, Aug. 23. Europe
will have (o import 582,000,000
bushel of wheat thia year, or 27,
000,OW) bushel more than latt year,
because of the decline in this year's
production, the Commerce depart
ment i was advised by Alfred P.
Dennis, its special representative in
Berlin.
Exclusive of Russia, this a year's
European wheat crop it estimated,
Mr. Denni said, at 1,057,000,000
bushels. The total represents a de
cline of 156,800,000 bushel a com
pared with last year's yield.
This falling off in yield was ac
counted for by a reduction of 1,500,
000 acres in the area sown in Europe,
by unfavorable growing conditions
in the winter and early spring, and
in the ca;e of Germany and Aus
tria, by the lack pf fertilizers. The
bulk of the decline, he added, was
accounted for in the losses in three
countries as follows: France. 48.
000.000 bushels; Italy, 33.500.000
bushels, and Germany, 22,500.000
bushels, while the percentage of loss
in the minor producing countries
was a follows: Sweden, 40 per cent;
Switzerland. 35 per cent; Holland,
25 per cent; Austria, 20 per cent;
Hungary, 20 per cent, and Spain, 16
per cent.
Production tn Great Britain, he
reported, shows a decrease of 9 per
rent, indicating a production in
home-grown milling wheat of 10,
000.000 bushels as compared to last
year' production.

Association of Kailway hxeuitivct,
meeting to consider proposal olirred
by (lie Uiu l ive brotherhood for
ending the strike, had decided lo

mostly in the west, later debated a
counter proposal by the brother

Debate Peace Plan. '
The large number of railroad presi
dents pouring out of the conference
chamber at tne Vale club hor(ly be
fore 6 led (o Ihe belief that (he sis- -sion
wa over. Later t wa learned
that only the majority, regarded at
firmly opposed to compromising on
the tcniority issues, had departed and
that Ihe other, embracing (he head
cf many western road, were debat
ing some way in which that disturb
ing problem might be removed from
the path to peace.
Among those who walked out of
the chamber were L, F. Loree, pre
ident of the Delaware & Hudson and
a leader of (he so-called fighMo-finish-on-teniority
group. Mr. I-oree
and hi group, it wa (aid, constituted
the majority of the members of the
Association of Kailway Executive
and were satisfied with the tand pre
viously taken by. that body against
restoring strikers with full seniority
ranking.
While official announcements
were lacking at 6:30 it wa learned
that the association meeting thii
morning had reaffirmed it tand on
seniority. A committee meeting with
the mediator (hen read this resolu
tion and received (wo counter pro
posal, after which the brotherhood
men, to the astonishment of observ
ers, went before the association a a
whole.
The first proposal, it wa undcrj
stood, wa that the striker be re
instated a of June 30, when the strike
wa called, without specific mention
of seniority privilege.
The ccond wa that roads o de
siring make separate settlement with
the strikers.
It was the second proposition, it
was reported, that attracted the at
tention of the group of executives
from the west said to constitute the
minority an dthat caused extended
debate.
It was understood that the west
erner intended to invite the medi
ator to appear before them again
this evening io expand this proposal.
The brotherhood men, on quitting
the meeting of the whole associa
tion, went immediately into confer
ence with leaders of the striking
shopcrafts. ,
