Dublin's apprehensions that re , prisals- would follow last night proved unfounded, and it is be lieved that government reports of thrfc or four killings hi the city after j midnight were due to their confusion with outrages near Dublin Aside from military activities and sarcnings, including the Mansion house, it appeared that yesterday's outbreak, following the lines of other Irish disturbances, was not being sustained.

' Communication with Ireland wa9 seemingly interrupted last evening, but '.tlie latest advices declared that . fires had broken out in various places in that city. 'Shooting again began in the streets' just before midnight, and it was asserted a number of per sons had been killed. Yesterday's murderous outbreak in Dublin produced in this city a sensation comparable to that which follo.wed the Easter rebellion of 1916.

"If appears," he ' said, that the members or a great majority of them of the communist parties have gone over to a united communist party that seems to be maintaining a secrecy never before attempted by tin American. radical organization.

"It is my individual conviction that the united communist party, the old communist party and kindred as sociations of this nature are unlaw ful in that they advocate the over throw of the government by force andViolence. "The original communist party, which was organized here a year ago, took a stand ? gainst partici pating in elections. - This is held to be of no use and it urged a bolshe vik program. I have no knowledge myself of literature being recently distributed urging against taking part in the presidential election, as was reported in press dispatches from the east at the time, but if this wasthe case, it was in line with what the party appears to stand for. Members Are Coached. "It will be recalled that pamphlets. literature and circular, letters were sent out broadcast to members of the communist, party and that lec turers gave instructions at their meetings that if, at any time a mem ber was interviewed or attempted to be. interviewed by any person, par ticularly by a federal or state officer, to answer no questions and tell them nothing, and in the advent of a mem ber being arrested, to' say nothing, and that as, soon as possible he would be provided with a defense.

V SirJIamar said: "The authorities hao reason to beH lieve that Sinn Fein gunmen came to Dublin Sunday under the guise of attending the foot ball match in or der to carry out the murders. Con sequently, a mixed force surrounded the grounds. This force was fixed on., and in firing back killed 10 and wounded others." Conditions Are Quiet.

As to present conditions in Dub lin, he stated he had received at 10 o'clock a telegram saying everything Ljvas apparently normal in that citjL no tresh disturbances having devel! oped.

President of Haiti Raps United States (Continned From Fare One.) commendable of the American offi cials paid for by Haitian government money. If the government refuses the worst humiliations are inflicted." Investments Cause Loss. I One of the charges made by the president was that a single "opera tion" by the financial adviser had cost the people of Haiti the loss of several million francs. v The functions of the adviser, said the president, required great jinan cial experiences. . which "seems not to have been considered in the choice, and he added: x "The proof is the unhappy opera tion 'of-the republic 'accounts which he conducted last year, despite con trary instructions by the Haitian government, he having convsted into francs three million' AmeVan dollars in October, 1919, just at the moment when jthe tendency of 'the tranc to fall was the most marked. at the exchange of nine "francs and a fraction for $1, while shortly after ward the dollar was valued at about 17 francs. This caused us a loss of several million francs." Hire Rat Killers. - A tfat-killing incident was men tioned by the president to show how Haitian money was spent. After the discovery of two cases of plague at New Orleans, the financial ad viser in Washingon employed two rat catchers at $250 a month each for Port Au Prince, sajdthe presi dent, "which city has never known the malady." Outside of customs, the president said, there were' no other budget resources left under the treaty to Haiti .for free disposition toward ex penses. sThe financial adviser, aided by the minister and the military authorities, "which on this occasion invoked martial law, decided that these funds should be remitted to him." . In this fashion, he added, the gov ernment was completelyynat the mercy of the caprices and absolute arbitrariness of the financial adviser." lanfln Pnnls Kirrhta in V ' - I O Roads as Consortium Part Tokio, Ntriv 2Jk Japan has pooled her rights in three railroads in China with the nations making up the con sortium which will play a dominant role Mn the financing of Chinese en gagements, says -the newspaper Nichi NichU in discussing the con sortium arrangements.

Washington, Nev. 22. Immediate revision of the present method of disposing , of surplus-, government stpres to prevent speculators from buying federal property from one department and re-selling to another branch of the government at a higher figure is recommended in'the annual report of Major General J. L. Chamberlain, inspector general of the army? to the secretary of war, made public today." The necessity for the proposed action is indicated by a recent in vestigation that, disclosed that one department of the government sold surplus cement for $1.00 per ton to a civilian who immediately re-sold the .ame cement to a branch of the War department for $6.00 a ton, the re port states. Hazing About Stopped.
