    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.

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.

RUSSIAN'S DECIDE

Negotiations Begun After

BRITISH DELEGATE MET
Chief of" Association of Creditors
Meets IiltvinofT in Confer

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

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.

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.
