ASSASSINATION ORGY
SUBSIDES IN DUBLIN
26 Dead, 70 in Hospital After
Sunday Outbreak.
POLICE UPHOLD KILLINGS
football Crowd Fired on to Avenge
Military, Defense of
AuLhoi-itics. '
DUBLIN. Nov. 22. (By the Asso
ciated Press.) Twenty-six persons
are dead and 70 others are in hospi
tals as a result of Sunday's orgy of
assassinations and the wholesale
shooting in Croke Park, where sol
diers fired on the crowd which had
gathered to witness a football game.
Aside from military activities and
searching, including- the Mansion
house, it appeared that yesterday"s
outbreak, following the lines of other
Irish disturbances, was not being sus
tained. The shooting in Croke paTk is de
fended by the authorities on the
ground that they had reason to be
lieve that men who participated In
yesterday's murders were present at
the football match. The design of
the military, it was said, was to
prevent their exit and search each
'Individual as be passed out through
the turnstiles. ,
The plan failed because of the gen
eral stampede, people scaling the
walls of the park and many going
into the houses across the road, from
which they were dragged by the mili
tary. No trains were running and no
motoring was allowed today In the
belief that the men wanted were still
in the city and that their capture
might be effected by an exhaustive
search.
The houses of two Sinn Feiners at
Swords, six miles from Dublin, were
burned this morning. At Skerries,
Patrick Mathews, a Sinn Fein
Laborite. wae seriously wounded. At
Rush, a neighboring village, armed
forces entered the house of a Sinn
Feiner named McCann, dragged him
to the road and shot him dead.

tional troops to Ireland is being se
riously considered, it was stated at

under the treaty terms if the Amer
Isan officials kept their part of the
pact, the president concluded:
The Haitian government is under
humiliating guardianship for lack of
eo-operatlon. Its effort to collabo
rate with good will is in vain, dis
dained and repulsed. It seems that
there does not exist between the two
governments an analogous contract
that the two parties are obligated to
respect. The civil administration is
snore oppressive than the military ad
ministration."

The marines "never killed without
cause and only to save their own
lives." siad Major Turner. "While
the people are talking of tndiscrim
int.te killings in Haiti, they might ask
bodies of marines sent back to the
United States," added Lieutenant Far
reli. "Although there were times when
reprisals would seem to have been
Justified. I do not know of one case
in which the situation was taken ad

REGIME IS ATTACKED
Action of Military In Ireland Is
Characterized as Repetition
of Amrltsar Massacre.
NEW YORK, Nov. 22. Eamonn de
Valera, "president of the Irish re
public," In a statement here today de
clared that when the British officer
who commanded the troops that fired
yesterday into a Dublin football crowd
is made to feel" by Irish republicans
mat ne may not commit these crimes
with impunity," his death will be
"classed by the British-controlled
press as another murder by the Sinn
Deiners."
"The conduct of the British troops
in swooping down and firinr their
machine guns on an unarmed people
is simply a repetition of the Amritsar
massacre in India, and whatever Brit
ish officer was in charge in Dublin
win De commended for it and re
warded as Dyer was," he said.
Civilians Declared Attacked.
"And later, when that officer is
made to feel by Irish republicans
that, although he may commit these
crimes with impunity so far as his
own government is concerned, he may
not do it with Impunity so far as
Irishmen can secure it, his death will
be classed by the British-controlled
press as 'another murder by the Sinn
Feiners.
"English policemen in Ireland, long
before one of their number was killed,
shot down unoffending civilians, and
verdiict8 of willful murder were re:
turned by coroners' juries against
them," continued Mr. de Valera. "In
stead of being punished, they were
commended and promoted by the
British government.
Endurance Held Limited.
"It is not In -human nature or at
least in the nature of spirited people
to go on enduring forever.
"The Irish people have learned
again the old lesson that as long as
the patient will suffer the cruel will
kick and, having no other avenue of
redress, they naturally 'pursue the in
dividual of those forces who are re
sponsible for outrages and are as
enemy spies amongst them, richly
deserving death if any human beings
-deserve death, for they provide the
alien government with knowledge and
the strength to persecute and inflict
endless misery on a whole nation.
"There is no comparison between
the guiltj of the British soldiers, who.
from tanks and armored cars in full
war outfit, with machine guns and
rifles, mow down unoffending civil-

who was Mr. Devlin's opponent, arose
and apologised to Mr. Devlin, to the
speaker and to the house, saying he
was afraid he had allowed himself
to be provoked and . had forgotten
himself.
Mr. Devlin accepted the apology and
assured Major Molson mat he had no
personal feeling.
Sir Hamar said:
"The authorities have reason to be
lieve that Sinn Feinn gunmen went to
riiihiin Snturriav under the guise of
attonritnir the football game in order
to nrrv out the murders. Conse
quently. a mixed force surrounded the
grounds. This force was fired on,
and in firing back, killed 10 and
wounded others."
Re-vnlvexa Declared Found.
Sir HaWiar also gave details of the
finding of revolvers and the crushing
to death of a man and a woman,
which latter he regretted.
At to present conditions in Dublin,
he stated he had received at 1 o'clock
a telegram saying everything was
apparently . normal In that city, no
fresh .disturbances having developed.
Three of the assassins of British
officers in Dublin were captured red
handed with their arms, he an
nounced. One of the assassins had
been wounded, he added.
After Mr. Devlin had concluded his
statement, there was a passage at
arms between 'Jeremiah MacVeagh,
nationalist member for South Down,
and Sir Edward Carson, the Ulster
leader. Sir Edward called the na
tionalist- member a "liar" for saying
Sir Edward had "begun the use of
rifles In Ireland." Mr. Bonar Law
the government leader, brought about
peace by announcing that Wednesday

the Irish question in the house of
