THE MORNING OREGONIAN, SATURDAY, JULY 1, 1922 EBELS' POSITION DUBLIN SEIZED O'Connor, Mellovves and Garrison Surrender. 110 PRISONERS TAKEN Unofficial Estimates of Casual ties in Two Hays' righting Are l'laitd at 30 Dead. DUBLIN, June 30. (By the Asso ciated Press.) The beautiful Four Courts building facing the Liftsy was in ruins tonight and Rory O'Con nor, Liam Mellowes and the irregu lar troops who had been holding It since Wednesday morning against attacks by the regular government forces, were prisoners in the hands of the provisional government. O'Connor and his adherents sur rendered this afternoon after a tre mendous explosion had set the building on fire. They were declared to have capitaulated uncondition ally. " The explosion resulted in casual ties to more than 30 of the regular troops who were inside the building. It was said none of the dissident forces was injured. 1 1 Prisoner Are Taken. Prisoners to the number of 110 were taken by the government troops when the O'Connor ites ran up the white flag of surrender. Tonight insolated fighting was continuing at various points through out Dublin. The fire tonight still was raging among the ruins of the courthouse. All those inside the Four Courts building were made prisoners by the provisional government forces. Lined up four deep along the quays, the prisoners were marched away' under a strong guard. Altogether there were 150 of them. Truce Negotiation Made. Lieutenant-General Connell, as sistant chief of staff of the govern ment forces, to the kidnaping of whom by the O'Connorites was at tributed the attack of the govern ment on the Four Courts, was among those who came out of the building after the surrender. He had been imprisoned in a cellar, ut of reach of the shot and shell that had raked the building since hos tilities began Wednesday morning. The surrender was made to Brigadier-General O'Daly. It had been preceded by negotia tions for a truce made by some of the leaders of the dissident troops at the instance of a priest who was with them inside the building. Kxplonioiis Shnke City. Some time prior to the capitula tion there were deafening explo sions that shoot the center of the city. The detonation sent up a huge cloud of black smoke, filled with debris and portions of burning docu ments. Then it was seen that the building was on fire. Portions of the papers picked up in the street showed that they once had belonged in the office of the land registry and the registry of deeds. ' The fire brigade which promptly turned out, on the understanding that the firemen would not be fired on by either side, volunteered to assist in removing the wounded from the building. Every available ambulance in the city was requisi tioned and they were whizzing through the streets of Dublin throughout the afternoon. Between 25 and 30 wounded sol diers were awiitingr medical atten tion when the doctors from the nearest hospital and the ambulances hurried to the scene. Unofficial estimates of the cas ualties in the two days' fighting here placed the number of killed at 30 with more than 60 wounded. This forenoon 12 deaths were reported and 20 wounded, the latter includ ing both men in the fighting forces antt private citizens, . Motor Lorries Attacked. In front of Moran's hotel two lor ries containing British soldiers speeding., toward the north wall were firt.t on by the mutineers shortly afier noon today. Talbot street is becoming one of .the great est danger points. The fire from the hotel was maintained throughout the morning in the direction of the Nelson Pillar, where the free staters occupy an opposing position. The irregulars, in their scattered outposts, were displaying frenzied activity. In Marlborough street they were occupying a number of houses ana rtaa made them resem ble fortresses by cutting loopholes in the walls. The insurgents also were in oc cupation of 12 hotels and a number of public houses, school buildings, business premises, etc. Several of these are in Parnell square and other vantage points in central Dublin. The street cars are continuing op erations outside the danger zone, but because of the many snipers about the city these zones are nu merous. The Dublin fire brigade had 21 calls yesterday. The city is thus rapidly becoming a huge fortress,, vifth ljundreds of snipers firing almost continuously, and the peril to people in the streets hourly becoming more acute. .Manifesto Is Issued. A manifesto to the people of Ire land issued today by the provisional free state government said: "For -18 hours the soldiers of your , army have unflinchingly borne the brunt of battle against the foroes of anarchy in jour capital. Some of them have given their lives and many others have been wounded in the defense of your rights as citi zens. "You are faced with a conspiracy whose calculated end is to destroy the treaty signed by your represen tatives and indorsed by yourselves. Under that treaty the government and control of your own country and its resources have been surrendered back to you after centuries of usur pation. Yu are asked to reject this surrender and engare in hopeless and unnecessary war with Great Britain. Fight for Republic Denied. "The pepole in the Four Courts said they were fighting for a repub lic. In reality they were fighting to bring the British back. Remember, we ask no man or woman to yield up any ideal or principle. Liberty will be secured to all under constitu tional guarantees, but it will be a constitutional liberty and no. man shall be permitted o do violence to the views of his neighbors or the will of the majority. "Least of all will profession of Ideals or principle be permitted as an excuse for undermining the peo i pie's right to security of person, se curity of property and freedom to live their lives In their own way as long as they do not trespass on the rights of others."

SIEGE PREPARATIONS MADE Intense Activity Is Noted Among Irregulars in Cork. CORK, June 30. (By the Asso ciated Press.) There was intense activity throughout the day by the rregular forces here in expectation of an immediate attack upon their positions. They were busy collecting provisions and motor cars in prep aration for a siege. The irregulars were greatly cha grined when they heard the news of the fall of the Four Courts in Dub lin, and, fearing their own positions would be attacked by free state troops, began to prepare for their defense. They occupy the second largest military barracks in Ireland and all the police barracks of the county. At 10 o clock tonight the irregu lars installed armed censors in the newspaper offices here, taking the ground that the papers are being used for free state propaganda.

GENERAL DAWES RETIRES As BUDGET CHIEF, SUCCEEDED BY GENERAL Li iEUS FREED INFORMATION AS TO METHOD OF RELEASE MEAGER. Charge of Connivance in Abduc tion Is Not Supported by Any Governmental Evidence. WASHINGTON, D. C, June SO. Americans working for oil com panies in the Tampico region all had been released from restraint by ban dits who had held them for ran som, on the face of full informa tion as,to what had occurred at the two camps raided by the mau rauders. Consul Shaw at Tampico merely reported today that the 35 persons held by the raiders at Pecera camp of LaCorona company were "no longer held." He had previously estimated that about half a dozen American citizens were included in this group and new representations that they be protected were sent to Mexico City by the department. Consul Shaw was asked for a more detailed report of the most re cent incident in the oil fleids.' It was not known whether the ban dits had been bought off through payment of ransom or driven off by the approach of federal forces. In view of the dearth of information officials here continued the silence that has characterized their atti tude since the report of the cap ture of A. Bruce Bielaskl near Cuernayaca. With regard to the statement made by Mexico City newspapers that Bielaskl connived in his own '. abduction, officials had nothing whatever to say. It was pointed out, however, that official informa tion on the Bielaski incident was confined to the few brief messages sent by Charge Summerlin in Me ico City. There has been no sug- was said, that tended to cast picion around the abduction. 'in reporting the safe arrival of Bielaski in the Mexican capital Wednesday night Mr. Summerlin's message added the full text of the statement made to him by Bielaski was being forwarded by mail. . HECKER ADMITS KILLING (Continued Frcm First Page.) anyone who tried to double cross him." He then related stories of how men posing as officers had robbed bootleggers of their liquor and indicated that be would like to meet them if he had his gun along. Later, Hecker said,- Bowker pro posed that Instead of buying the liquor Hecker's friend had, they should hold up the man, take the entire 30 cases and drive awa Hecker said he objected. "I had ar ranged to sell the whisky and I didn't think it was right to try and take It." " 'It means J1200 or $1400 to you, and he Can't do anything with this gun in his face," said Bowker. j Threat Is Alleged. "I didn't want to, j.nd after we turned , and started back to Port land, Bowker noticed I had turned the light away which had been in tended to signal my friend. " 'Hecker, what are you dolns. trying to double-cross me?' Bowker said. " 'No,' I told him. , " 'Hecker, you little , you are double-crossing me,' Bowker shouted. Til kill you.' and he grabbed his gun. "He was bigger than I am. I lunged at him witjj all my strength and pushed him partly away and shot him." As he told the story, the youth's voice dropped to 'almost a whisper. And in -the crowded courtroom the only sound was the quick, short sigh which escaped the lips of the lad's mother, sitting inside the rail ing. Then came the story of the ride to Albany. Hecker said he drove a short way ahead, where he stopped and put the body in the rear seat. There had been two shots fired, he said, one from his own gun and one . om Bowker's .38 which missed his arm. The gun, said to have been recov ered from where It had subsequently been thrown away by Hecker, Was introduced and Identified by Heck er's father and brother, who said they had found it. There were five loaded cartridges 4n the chambers and one empty shell, they testified. Blood Wiped Off Car. His first impulse was to start back to Portland, Hecker said, but at Clackamas he swung to the left. Just before reaching the eity limits of Oregon City he had stopped to wipe the blood off the car. "I don't know quite what hap pened, he said In a low, clear Voice. "I was afraid. I had to put the body some place. I couldn't keep it f hre. I drove through Oregon City as fast as I could. Going down the bridge by the Willamette the water gave! me an idea. I guess I was grasping j for any kind of an Idea then. "At a place just before I got to ' New Era I stopped. There was blood ' leaking out of the car. I looked in the back seat to find something to cover him with. Under the cushion 1 found the hop sack. Then I thought I had better remove every thing from him that might identify him if he were found. I took rery thing I could find out of his pockets and put him in the hop sack. "Going along the road, I started to throw out some of the paperl 1 found, but I realized that wasn't the thing to do and drove on. I stopped several times, I was all over blood and I wanted to wash my hands. Then I thought I, would go home to Albany, so I went on. I needed some gasoliite, and I thought I could get some some place where they would'nt know me. I saw a filling station, at what they call Horseshoe park. I drove in and got the gas and tried to act natural, so they wouldn't suspect me. The man didn't say anything he just looked hard at me. 1 "I got to Albany and went through the town. I thought of a place where I used to go swimming, and drove across the bridge of the Willamette. But I couldn't get down there. I drove out onto a dock back at town, but it was torn up. I had to go some place, and started through the town. Then I thought of the Cala pooia, and I went there. Somehbw I got the sack out of the car. I tried to roll It under the rail, but it wouldn't go, so I stepped over the rail and pulled it over the side of the bridge. "I had to wash. I was all over blood. I couldn't go home so I went to the hotel." Papers Are Destroyed. Hecker then told of the leaving of the money with Ira Coleman, and the destruction of the rest of the papers. Motives for his acts, Hecker could not ascribe. "I don't know; I can't remember," was his reply to questions on cross-examination. The cross-examination took from 11 o'clock until 2:30 o clock. The en tire ground was covered by Mr. Lon- ergan, special prosecutor, in an ef fort to show that robbery had been the motive of the killing. ' "Isn't V a fact that when you reached that point on the road, you asked Bowker to look out of the car s'us-land see. if you.r friends were com- and you shot him in the back of the head?" Lonergan asked. "No," replied the defendant. "Why did you go through Bow ker's pockets and take out all the money and leave his keys, knife and other things?" Lonergan asked. "I took everything I could find," the boy replied, "because I didn't want them to identify him." Car Owner Witness. Paul E. Noble, manager of the Liberty theater, who was originally a witness for the state, was called by the defense to substantiate the statement that Hecker had also bor rowed his gun on Thursday night before the fatal Sunday and re turned -it the same evening. Percy Johnson, owner of the car which Hecker used, told of a special ap pliance on the, steering wheel which would have made it possible for the car to run straight while the scuf fling took place. B. J. Hecker and Ralph Hecker, father and brother of the "boy, tes tified concerning the finding of Bowker's gun where Hecker threw it out of the machine, just south of New Era, following his discovery that the weapon was on the floor of the car. J. K. Carson, associated with one of the attorneys for the defense, told of being called to identify the gun at the time -of its discovery. Only One Shot Heard. In rebuttal the defense called Lawrence Milner, lieutenant at the Clackamas rifle range, and G. W. Mapes and Mrs. Mapes, owners of the filling station near there. They all testified that they had heard only one shot and not two at 7:30 o'clock that night, when the crime admittedly took place. Fred Mallet, Portland police inspector, and Mrs. Katherine Cox, Bowker's- house keeper, were recalled, Mallet deny ing the statement that he had threatened Hecker during his ex amination at police headquarers, and Mrs. Cox identifying the gun, which, she said, Vesembled Bowker's, ex cept that his had seemed older.

BRITISH DELEGATE MET Chief of" Association of Creditors Meets IiltvinofT in Confer ence on Oil Lands. BY SAMUEL SPEWACK. CCopyriifht. 11122, by the New York World. Published by Arrangement.) THE HAGUE? June 30. (Special Cable.) After another conflict be tween Russia and the rest of the world in the property subiommls sion Friday, Maxim Litvlnoff, chief soviet delegate, decided to complete a swift series of private negot a tioms while the conference was still wrangling, it is reported. The first of these, involving $300, 000,000, was attempted with Leslie Urquhart, a British delegkte and head of the Association of British Creditors of Russia. Urquhart's or ganization claims the mining and oil regions of the Ural mountains. He and Litvlnoff had a short con ference today, and they hope to set tle individual differences. That .the Russians believe in this method was demonstrated at Rapallo. Litvlnoff proposes to negotiate the American claims in the same manner. Russians Are Disappointed. The Russians are disappointed with the results of today's confer ence. Litvlnoff frankly stated that expediency governs his country and that it is primarily interested in Its Is Our God Part 1 (Beethoven) Willem Mengelberg and the Part 2 Lay Me Down in Dear Old Dixieland Fox Trot own , people not in the claims of foreigners. The French wrathfully demanded that he retract his state ment, declaring they would leave the conference it- he didn't. They were seconded by the Bel gians. The Italians also condemned Litvinofrs attitude. Sir Phillip Lloyd Graeme, chairman of the property sub-commission, suavely suggested Litvinoff would have to "talk busi ness, not motives." Litvinoff finally saved the situation by saying that he made the remark in passing and that he, too, was interested in "talk ing business." Daily Truce Declared. Although the usual dally truce was declared, the Russians feared delay and so decided on individual negotiations. They asked for a complete list of the claims against them with such- negotiations' in mind. The conference cannot com plete the list for some time, it was explained. The Russians say the allies fear their plan of separate negotiations and will endeavor to do business on the same basis as at Genoa. While the" roundabout conflict on ' debts continues to rage, the Russians are prepared for the credits commission tomorrow. They will then submit their programme for economic aid. They will emphasize the need of agriculural implements, railroad equipment, etc. The British have promised Litvin off they will try to induce their gov ernment to guarantee the .loan be raised in addition to financipg the organization of an international con sortium, if he will be conciliatory on other questions. The promise, however, was conditioned on so many reservations that the Russians were said to be pessimistic. Aged Man Hurt by Falling Limb. BEND, Or.,Mune 30. (Special.)

PublUhed by Arrangement. PARIS, June 30. (Special Cable.) Following the recent agitation in Tunisia. It is now announced that France is preparing a new political charter for her protectorate in North Africa. Although the regime proposed still will leave Tunisia in a considerably less favorable posi tion than that enjoyed by Egypt and Algeria, it will give her a stronger voice in her own affairs than at present. The Tunisian assembly, as now constituted, includes French and native members, the latter not be ing elected but nominated by the French administration. It is not certain that the new charter will satisfy the aspirations of the Tunis ians, whose anti-French demon strations became serious some time ago. although efforts were made to suppress news of them here. The abdication of the Bey ot Tunis was discussed and many agi tators were expelled from Tunis be fore the French government prom ised to endow the protectorate wUb a more liberal regime. OSWEGO LAKE.
