THE MORXIXG OREGOXIAX, TIIUIISDAY, JUNE " 24, 1920 5 DIE, SCORES SHOT r IN S1KN FEIN BATTLE Fire Sweeps Londonderry Streets for 16 Hours. SNIPERS ARE ACTIVE Police and Military Powerless; Cit izenry, TerrorUcd, Ventures Out Only for Food. LONDONDERRY, June 23. (By the Associated Press.) Five Sinn ITelners were killed by machine gun fire em Ployed to cover the removal of sev eral Protestants from Barrack street tonight, according to a military state ment. At 10:30 there was a iull in the fighting. Scenes of the most terrible descrip tion were enacted here last night and today. Many streets were swept by a murderous fire for 16 hours continu ously. One man was killed and 10 dangerously wounded in one section of the city. Several bodies are re ported to be lying in Bishop street. Amtmg- the wounded was a young girl. Sniping, was indulged in on a large scale. The principal conflict took place in Bishop street, where there was a large concentration of Sinn Feiners in the neighborhood of St. Columbia's Catholic college and Naza reth home. Sandbags were thrown up from which a strong fire was directed at the unionists iu Barracks street. Many casualties resulted on both sides. Military In Powrrlru, Meanwhile trouble had broken out on an extensive scale in the region of Longlower street and Bishop's Gate, where there were fierce and prolonged exchanges. Sinn 1'einers occupying positions on roofs sniped isolated unionists. The soldiers and police were unable to intervene effectively. The police ir Bishop street, within the battle zone, were virtually be sieged. Many passersby were wounded and it is reported some were killed. A confectioner named McKenna was killed at'the corner of Henrietta street. Firing was suspended while a priest administered the last rites. Among today's casualties was an elderly man named Whiteside, who was accompanied by his son and daughter. During the nicht there was savage fighting In the Waterside district. The rival factions were entrenched in Cross street and Bond street. Streets Like Battleground. Snipers were busy until 1 o'clock this afternoon and contingents of troops had to be moved into various streets, which until then were impas sable to citizens. The streets had the appearance of a battleeround. Sandbaars were thrown up, with sleeping soldiers' almost in a state of exhaustion after the night's vigils. It is expected that troops are coming by road, but no reinforce ments have yet arrived. There is fighting in the outlying districts from which unionists are pouring into the city. The outside world has little idea of the reign of terror Londonderry has been experiencing without respite since Friday last. The casualty fig ures from day to day are larming enough, but they picture only the shadow of the grim reality. The truth is, none of the 40,000 inhabitants has been safe since the rioting began. 500 Rule City. The city is virtually controlled by extremists of the unionists and na tionalists who probably number under 600. They fire volleys down the streets without warning and the citi zens are thus put in a state of panic sallying forth only when the procure ment of food becomes absolutely necessary. Many shopkeepers have suspended business and have taken refuge on the top floors for safety. Men sleep in their offices there rather than risk stepping into the streets. The postoff ice. force has been reduced to a mere handful. The military so far has confined Its efforts to keeping the two sides apart, but without great success. Everyone arriving in the city is chal lenged for credentials and Is searched for arms and ammunition. The real test for a visitor, however, comes when he is held up by either the Stnn Fciners or the unionists. With hands in the air, staring into the muzzle of a revolver, he is thoroughly searched. Some have come out of this examina tion rather badly. Each morning the engagement of the night before is resumed. Heavy barricades have been thrown up and groups of armed " men move about, either on the offensive or defensive. How many persons have been killed is not known now.. Crowds Ordered Off Streets. - A proclamation was Issued by the magistrates tonight warning all citi zens to keep indoors. The constabulary and military, the proclamation an nounced, have received instructions to disperse by force, if necessary, all assemblies. The magistrates strongly condemn Dublin castle s inactivity. In addition to the erection of bar ricades, trenches have been dug in some of the streets within the battle cone. A special trair. carrying two Great Northern railway station this ening. The county inspector an-1 ounced that a detainment of soldiers s leaving Belfast for Londonderry. Tonight firing again broke out In Bishop street and there was vigorous sniping from the hill overlooking the city. A detachment of soldiers moved to the spot and soon the firing ceased. A military field kitchen returning from its rounds conveyed three sol diers with heads and arms bandaged. No bread was delivered in the city this week. Hotels and homes are run ning, short of supplies. No gas is being produced at the gaa works and when the present supply is exhausted the city will be without lights. - LONDON, June 23. The' fighting In Londonderry was still on at S o'clock tonight, according to a Central News dispatch from that city. Machine guns were then in action. The city, said the correspondent, was evidently in for another night of terror. . A dispatch from Strabana says that hundreds of refugees' from . London derry were arriving in the counties of Tyrone and Donegal. Unionists hold the road from carrlgans to Londonderry and were strongly en trenched in Prehenwood. There was a movement in other northern towns, said the dispatch, to Join in If the Derry riots continue.

DUBLIN, June 23. There was no notable change today in the situation on the railway lines in this region caused by the refusal of the railway men to handle munitions or operate trains with troops on board, although the determination recently displayed by the men not to move trains that were boarded by the police was caus ing additional inconvenience. For several days tne government has been directing that the police board the train, at Cloughjordan ror Dublin. The Irish council of railway men issued a manifesto asking men not to indulge in precipitate action, which would, only transfer the responsiDimy from the British government to Ireland. The council expressed agreement with the labor party's advice to the men not to strike, but await individ ual dismissals.

NEW YORK. June 23. William G. McAdoo declared' today that in tele graphing Burris A. Jenkins yesterday he had done everything in his power uneer construotlon corps of pla tform I to persuade the Kansas City minister uildem was husv today whitllng out and publisher not to present his name to tne dan r rancisco convention tor the democratic presidential nomina tion. '.What more can I do?" he asked after reading Mr. Jenkins reiterated declaration that he would nominate Mt McAdoo, either with or without his consent. In a written statement Mr. McAdoo branded as false the report of a New York newspaper which declared he planks, which they believed would meet the needs of the democratic na tional convention in ' expressing Its views as to prohibition enforcement. Leaders, including' Chairman Cum mings of the national committee, were n agreement that this question would monopolize the center of the conven tion stage until it was settled. Mr. Cummings expressed the opinion that I would not make the presidential race it would be the only issue to be car- because of ill health. The statement ried to the convention floor. Informal - discussion by delegates shows several schools of thought among the anti-bor-edry advocates as to how the question should be ap proached. They vary from the states' rights stand taken by. Governor Ed wards of New Jersey to proposals that congress be urged to proceed di rectly toward modifying the one-half of one per cent alcoholic content re striction of the Volstead enforcement ct so as to lif.t the ban from beers and light wines. The most pro nounced movement at the moment, however, and the one which appeared today to have taken the most definite shape was that originating in Wash ington and designed to offer a basis on which anti-bonedry forces could concentrate. Personal liberty will be the slogan of advocates of this com promise plank. Prohibition Not at Issue. Mr. Cummings was emphatic today in defining' the question to be solved as not a prohibition issue but mere expression of the party's attitude as o the Volstead' enforcement act. There were numerous other issues on which there would be difference of opinion before the resolutions com mittee.

Taggart of In diana and Murphy of New York are old-time characters. These two, with one other, were for nearly a genera tion a triumvirate of power in demo cratic circles. ,This other no longer lives. Roger Sullivan of Illinois died a few months ago. Of the three he was by far the ablest and the best. He was of the heart of practical poll tics. In his rise from the bottom he had traveled all the paths of achieve ment in the politics of a metropolitan city. A man must be big to lmpres his will on his fellows as he did and keep their loyalty for half a genera tion. But Roger Sullivan contributed more to democratic counsels than merely success in the arts of politics. He had wisdom breadth, humanity, The vacancy left by his death will not be filled by anyone now in sight. Few of Great Feree. Other than Taggart and Murphy, only a few of the state leaders are men of great force, and of those few only a still smaller number are avail able for impersonal party counsel. The national committeeman from Pennsylvania is Mitchell Palmer, and he is a candidate for the presidency. The national committeeman- from Ohio, E. H. Moore of Youngstown, i one of the most able and resourceful men In . the national committee,- but he, too, has a personal interest whlc deprives him of disinterested party counsel. Moore Is the head and front of the Cox presidential boom. Norman Mack of Buffalo has, to the last de gree, one of the qualities which com mend men to accept leadership. Nor man Mack could not conceal his thoughts if he would, and would not if he could. The best and the . worst of him and all of him is there on the surface at every moment for all the world to see. But, like the others, Mack has an interest here which im- .pairs his availability for detached and dist Interested party counsel. Mack is the leader of thvse who be lieve that the convention should adopt a wet plank. Brras Will Assert Himself. And that "wet" plank brings us to Bryan. Bryan is not here yet. When he comes he will assert himself. Your correspnodent's belief is that Bryan win nave power nere.. but will have it only because his enemies make him a present of it. If Bryan were com ing here merely to try to name the nominee, merely to try to make the convention do his will, I do not be lleve there are 100 men In the con vention who would follow him. He might well meet his Waterloo. But Bryan s enemies are going to try to force a "wet" plank into the platform. To beat the "wet" forces, the largest number of delegates who are "dry" will rally around Bryan as their leader, and Bryan, by virtue of this gift from his enemies, will have measurable power in tne convention. says: My attention has just been called to the statement that I have tuber culosis.

It would be impossible for me to publicly char acterize such despicable methods COLBY IS NOT CANDIDATE Secretary Denies Taking Dicta of President to - Convention CHICAGO. June 23. Bainbridge Colby, secretary of state, and dele gate to the democratic national con vention, who stopped off in Chicago todav on his way to San Francisco, denied that he was taking any of President Wilson's dicta to the con vention. 'President Wilson has too much respect for his party to attempt to intrude his ideas or force his Ideas unon the party in an open conven tion." Mr. Colbv said. "I have had many conferences with" the president, but we have not discussed a tnira term for him. nor candidates for the presidency. Personally, I believe tne conven tion will be singuarly free from any attempt from any quarter to in fluence Its deliberations or to give direction to its action. Mr. Colby said he was sure there would be some allusion made to the treaty of Versailles and the league of nations.

A party of Virginians passed throuerh Chicago today bound for San Francisco to urge the nomination of Senator Carter Glass as the demo cratic candidate for president. THIRD PARTY NOT ENTICING beverages proponents of the Wash ington plank argued, and an appeal for an enforcement policy more in harmony with American ideas of per sonal liberty would serve to prevent alienation of sentiment which a more direct approach might push into the bone dry ranks.

It was questionable tonight wheth er any direct reference to the Vol stead act would be urged on the plat- form framers. There are pros and cons to be thrashed out in that re spect. The plank to be urged by the anti-bone drys, however, is expected, whatever it may say otherwise, to rap the republican congress sharply for enactment of the enforcement meas ure in its existing form. Probably, it was said, the attitude of Postmas ter-General Burleson in his statement at San Antonio yesterday assailing as "absurd" provisions of the Volstead act and contending that they were calculated to defeat the purpose of the prohibition amendment would be reflected in the platform language proposed. A new source of discussion arose today In connection with convention procedure. It had to do with deter mining whether the platform should be adopted before or after the presi dential nominee has been selected. Views of Managers Differ. ' Chairman Cummings apparently has had the question up with managers of various candidates ana found their views to differ. Some of the work ers for this or that candidate pro fess to see strategic advantage for their man in one course or the other. The national chairman did not share their views, but to promote harmony win call tne campaign managers into conference on the eve of the conven tion to see if a satisfactory pro gramme cannot be arranged in ad vance. There is a strong desire to expedite tne conventions work as much as possible. Steps to limit nominating, or at least seconding, speeches are under consideration, ir a dozen or more men are to be nominated and seconded the delegates will get more than their fill of oratory, it was said. There were Intimations that Mr. (jummings expejstea tne report on platform to be deferred until after the balloting on nominees. This would permit the convention to proceed with nominations while the wrangle over platform Issues was In progress. It has been done before in democratic conventions and is de sirable in the opinion of some of those responsible for arrangements because of the purely mechanical question of time saving. It was insisted that no thought of fitting issues to candi dates or the other way round was in mind among the leaders, nor any view that nominees were more im portant than platform expressions. Headquarters of various candidates seized the opportunity to express views on the question tonight. Sen ator Owen of Oklahoma, first of the men formally -in the race for nomi nation. Issued a statement opposing any plan to name the standard bear ers of the party before the platform had been adopted. The democratic convention, he said, should enunciate the principles of the party and the candidate should I am too busy fixing planks for the democratic party to think of run ning for president," he said, "and I am doubtful of third party expedi ency.' Mr. Bryan reiterated his opposition to any candidate not in sympathy with strict enforcement of prohibition statutes, and said he had prepared a plank for submission to the demo cratic national convention indorsing prohibition laws and pledging their enforcement, and another providing jail sentences for profiteers. Mr. Bryan, who spoke at a public meeting here last night and later at a banquet, left today for San Fxan- cisco. GOMPERS CARRYING DEMANDS Labor Leader Has Programme to Submit to Convention. CALGARY, Alberta, June 23. "The democrats are asking for. the suf frages of the people of the United States, and the laboring people, repre senting so large a proportion of the population, certainly have the right to ask the democratic convention for the support of the constructive pro gramme which labor has prepared," said Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, who passed through Calgary today on his way to San Francisco from the national convention of the fed eration in Montreal. Mr. Gompers stated frankly his in tention to lay before the democratic convention the labor, demands which, he said, he considered the republican convention rejected when it nom- Inated for president Senator Warren G.
