Adjourn for Two Weeks By Tho AMoeiated Freaa. ' Washington, Nov. 19, More eye witnesses' tales of violence in Ire land and accounts of social and economic developments resulting from the effort for Irish independence were received by the commission of the committee of 100 investigating the Irish question. The commission thn adoured over , Thanksgiving to resume, its inquiry, probably the first week in December. Personal accounts-of the killing of citizens and police last September at Balbriggan and the burning and looting ot homes and stores there and at Galway and other Irish towns were related by John Derham, town commissioner for Balbriggan, and Americans who toured the country recently, including Mrs. William A. King of Ironton, O., and Mr. and Mrs. Francis Hackett of New York, representing the Society of Friends. Tell of "Terrorism," T 'Terrorism" was the term applied by all of today's witnesses to the military rule in Ireland. Mr. Derham said the "black and tans" bayoneted two citizens of Balbriggan and burned 25 houses during a raid in reprisal for the shooting . of two officers by unknown persons. He said he was himself beaten with bayonet butts and otherwise mal treated. ,No compensation he said, was ottered by the British govern ment for property destroyed by the military. j r . A picture of ' the military, rule maintained with armed lorries and tanks in Cork, Limerick, Dublin and other cities was given by Mrs. King, who said that street shootings were nightly occurrences. . ' r, Mr, Hackett, associate editor of the New Republic, said that the peo ple generally were submitting their civil and other controversies- to the republican courts Barring only the nominal authority of Dublin castle, he said, there would be little British dominion in Ireland ercept that of the military forces. Killing of Police Necessary. "Eighty per cent of the people are for Sinn Fein," said Mr. Hackett, who stated that he always had sympathized with the Sinn Fein movement. The Judicial administration of the Sinn Fein 'officials, the witnesses stated, includes formal, although secret "trial" of police, constabulary and soldiers charged with killing Irish citizens. "Responsible Sinn Fein leaders told me,!' said Mr. Hackett, "that these killings of policemen were an absolute necessary act of 'justice, most of them having committed act ual murder." ' "Conditions in Ireland are "work ing up to massacre," Mr. Hackett said. He added that many of the "black and tans" were ex-convicts and other desperadoes. j Policy of Oppression. "The English are pursuing a pol-. icy of oppression and assassination," he continued, "and making no effort to bring to book those guilty, among the military forces, of lawlessness." The British policy regarding restitution for property destroyed by the military is to impose assess ment upon citizens of the committies where violence has occurred, the witness said. He added that Sir Arthur Griffith had told him that in. September there were about 150,000 troops in Ireland, and he estimated the number of police killed within the last few years at about 120. Before the world war, Mr. Hack ett stated, Irish officials permitted Ulster revolutionists to import arms from Germany without hindrance, but balked with military force, at tempts at similar importations into southern Ireland. ,.

Is Foreseen Decision of Great Britain to Resume Trade With Russia May Bring Important Developments. RecognitioTNo Surprise By ARTHUR SEARS HENNING. Chicago Tribune-Omaha Bee iLeaaed Wire. Washington Nov. 19, The de cision of the British government to resume trade relations with Russia, closely following the collapse of the Wrangel anti-bolshevik army, is re garded here as possibly the prelude of important changes , in the rela tions of European nations. In taking the step Great Britain parts company on Russiao policy with France,, which is opposed to dealing with -the soviet government because of the latter's repudiation of the Russian debt to France,. and furtsers British commercial and in dustrial interests which wil be put into Russia on the ground floor of profitabe undertakings. '. It is not unlikely that Italy, with which Great Britain has been culti vating a "close understanding, will follow suit, leaving only France and the United States opposed to enter ing into any relations with the Lenine regime. Complete recogni- Uion of . the soviet government by the British government would oc casion no surprise here among those officials who have contended against the resumption of American trade re- l-.f - .L T. . . 1 3 lauons wun Russia on me ground that it would strengthen j the bol shevikt and lead to their official reg ognition. New Element Looms Up. A new element may be thrust in to the situation if Lenine and Trotz- ky, having disposed of Wrangel, now refuse to make formal peace with Poland and again assault the re public. In that event Great Britain woulo) be charged with leading en couragement, if not economic aid, to the soviet government through (the resumption of trade relations. x-resiaeni wuson neany a year ago lifted, to some extent, the re strictions on America ntrade with Russio, but such trade is not facilit ated or protected by the - United States and Americans engage in it at their own risk. A few months ago the president issued the distum that there could be no diplomatic or trade relations with a govern ment that aimed to overthrow the American form of government, and whose diplomatic envoys are and would be, instructed to further that conspiracy. I Great Britain dealt with the me nace by exacting a promise from the soviet government ,as a condition for the resumption of trade relations, that it would not propagandize any where in the British dominions. As Lenine has boasted that his peace treaties, are made to be ignored, if desirable, this promise is regarded here as merely a "scrap of paper." Promise, of Russia. British Foreign Minister Curson's recapitulation of the promises ex acted of Russia are: 1. To refrain from . hostile actions -and propaganda, direct or indirect, against the institutions of this coun ty- ' . . 2. To refrain from any attempt by military action or; by propagan da to encourage the peoples of Asia in any form of action hostile to4 British interests or the British em oire.

Under clause nine, the .British gov ernment, according to the London Times, is asked to declare that they will not take or forge any steps to obtain or take possession of any gold, securities, or commodities, which may be exported by Russia in payment of imports. Thus, un der the first clause, the British gov ernment is virtually asked to wink at the repudiation of Russian debts, and in the second, not to facilitate any steps that Russia's creditors might be able to take to protect their interests hy a seizure of Russia as sets in tin's country. The British banks had protested strongly against the conclusion of any trade agreement with Russia which does not provide for the un qualified reorganization of all Rus sian debts, and the business com munity was reported to stand solid ly behind the bankers in their pro test.

Burlington mail train robbery was the largest, in value of loot stolen, mail or train robbery ever staged in the United States, it was revealed clearly by today's develop ments. ' Postal inspectors freely admitted today that the estimate of $3,500,000 placed upon the cash and securities stolen was not ex aggerated and that a complete check might reveal that the total sum stolen was even larger. . '- ... . No count of the currency recovered following the arrest of H. A. Reed, alleged ring leader, and T. A. Daly has been made, but the amount is estimated at between $200,000 and $400,000. Bills of $10 denomination in bundles of $1,000, enough to al most completely fill a regulation mail sack, were found in the Daly ' chicken coop. Bankers say that, loosely packed, a mail sack would hold about $200,000 in $10 bills. If more compact the sack might hold as high as $400,000, they said. It probably will be months, it is said, before it will be definitely known just how much was stolen, because so many of the stolen securities were burned by the robbers. $50AllU.S.Payson Stolen Package of .Registered Mail But Huge Amount Looted From Train in Bluffs Prob ably Covered by Tnsur- ance, Say Bankers.

" t Early yesterday morning the head quarters or center of activities at the federal building was ' transferred from the office of Deputy United States Marshal Fred Shoemaker to that of Postal Inspector F.

Should the amount of loot stolen run above the estimate of $3,500,000. as some believe it will, the robbery will have been the largest of any kind ever perpetrated in this coun try. : ; . ; x - Sums larger than this have been . stolen, but never before in a single robbery. No official estimate of the loot ob tained has been made or is likely to be made for some time. None of the securities have been recovered. Men under arrest say they were burned and only currency retained. Currency $10 Bills. This currency was all in $10 bills, wrapped in packages of $1,000, and is estimated at not less than $200,000. The five men now held may be given hearings before United States Commissioner William Byers to day. This has not been definite ly determined, however, as postal in spectors may choose to hold them until next week in the hope of ob taining more information from them before placing them on trial. None of the men held has been booked. Most of the time they have been held in the marshal's offices in the federal building. When placed in the county ail for safekeeping at other times . they have not been booked or specific charages filed against them. The jailer merely was ordered to keep them in solitary confinement "for the government" and to permit no one to see them. Prisoners Held Separately. They were not even permitted to associate with or talk to othefpris oners in the county jail and even their attorney were refused permis sion to see them unless federal offi cers were present.
