Council Bluffs, Iowa Nov. 20.-
A reduced force of federal officers
today continued work for further
evidence In the mail robbery here
last Saturday night In which it Is
estimated that property valued at
$3,500,000 was stolen. Other offi
cers, who had been at work on the
case began leaving for their homes
in other cities.
One or two men, it was under
stood, are still sought as witnesses.
Federal officers denied that they
were looking for Keith Collins, a
former army air service lieutenant.
The officers reiterated their belief
that they had arrested all the prin
cipals In the robbery, and that the
only thing that remained was to
clear, up what they referred to as
"odds and ends" of the case.

Irish Reprisal
London, Nov. 19. Strong con
demnation of the government's
Irish policy and reprisals in Ireland
was voiced by Former Premier As
auith in a speech at the National
flberal club today. He declared
that cold blooded deliberate mur
der had been traced and credited to
uniformed servants of the crown
and asserted things were being
done In Ireland "by authority and
Incitement of the executive, which
woyj take a fitting lUaoe in the
blackest annals of the lowest
despotism of the European world."
There IS an overwhelming case
for inquiry, but as it was con
temptuously and vigorously re
fused, one is obliged to draw one's
own conclusion," Mr. Asquith added.
