BODY LIES IN STATE
(Continued from page one)
coat and a tweed cap. Across his
shoulders he carried a machine gun,
the same gun with which he said after
wards he had poured a hall of lead Into
Collins' attackers.
After the procession was dismissed
he told an Interviewer in a voice often
choked by emotion, a vivid story of the
fatal ambush.
"The car in which Collins as rid
ing," he said, "was the first to meet
the ambushers' fire. There were at
least 25 of them against 12 of us. It
was about nine o'clock when we
paBsed through the village. We had
not gone over 400 yards along the road
when from both sides we were caught
by a deadly cross-fire of machine gun
fire.
The driver of Cullies' car wanted t i
drive at full ii!-ei but the i-'-M.-.-.i! or '
ered him to halt an! told its to t.fci
cover. He took command ct t!:e wir-l?
situation and directed the (ire aaa.nst
the attackers for nearly an hour. Tw
machine guns kept up incessint I r n;
at Mick's open car, but u;i tj then no
one had been hurt and It began t- look
as though the Irregulars were going to
scatter in order to risk no more cas
ualties. "It was during a lull in the attackers'
fire that Mick noticed a sniper creep
ing on hands and knees some distance
'down the road behind him. Mick im
mediately went about a dozen yards In
his direction with the object of stop-
;ping further movement In the rear of
the party. M that moment heavy firing
'swept across the road from both sides.
I The gun in the whippet armored car
'which followed had jammed, lessening
i the effect of our f ire.
"The sudden burst of shooting
caused Mick to turn around for a few
seconds and the next moment I saw
him fall to the ground, shot through
the head. As lie lay dying, he shouted
.words of encouragement to his men to
go on firing and not mind him. Imme
diately there were cries of 'My God,
Mick Is shot.'
! "Men rushed to his side. Although
bleeding . from a terribly lacerated
wound he lived for ten minutes."
the dramatic death of Michael Collins,
and plans went forward for the meet
ing of the new southern parliament on
, Saturday when the ministerial changes
necessitated by the sudden removal of
Collin3 and Arthur Griffith are expect
ed to be made.
Meanwhile William T. Cosgrove is
acting as the head of the provisional
free state government and Richard
Mulchay as chief of staff, is directing
the final phase of the national army's
campaign against the irregulars.
The absorbing question of who Is
going to succeed Collins is voiced on
all sides, and, besides Cosgrave and
j.Muleahy, the name of Kevin O'Higgins,
minister of economic affairs; General
O'Connell, assistant chief of staff, and
General Gerald O'Sullivan are promi
nently mentioned.
Tltc first concerned the taking of the!
oath of allegiance to the king of Eng
land; the second concerned ratification
of Irish governmental acts by the Ilrit-
iish privy council, while the third
hinged upon the stipulation that the
powers of the Irish government should
be derived from the treaty between the
free state and England.
If these points could be arranged f
satisfy the republican radicals, Gen
eral Collins believed, there was a pou.
sibility of inducing the Irish people ns
a whole to rally around the constitu
tion. .Mr. Doyle has been asked by the re
maining Irish leaders to continue his
study of the constitution.
Dublin Begins to Recover
DUBLIN, Aug. 24. (Ily Associated
Press). Dublin began to recover some
what today from the shock caused by
Collins' Plan Outlined
LONDON, Aug. 24. (By Associated
Press). At the time of his death,
Michael Collins had under considera
tion plans to re-draft several sections
of the constitution of the Irish free
state so as to placate the more radical
republican element. This was made
known today by Michael Francis Doyle
Philadelphia lawyer, who arrived from
Dublin, where he went to consult with
the members of the provisional govern
ment. Mr. Doyle, was the last American, he
believes, to se the free state commander-in-chief
alive. He had several con
ferencs with Collins. Thy discussed
the different points of the constitution
which it had been planned to re-draft.

Notes
The very fact of Its gradual
acceptance might make us
seriously consider tl cir
cular skirt. It is these modes
that creep upon us stealthily
that endure. Surely the new
flaring panels are the fore
runner of a return to this
graceful mode.
Tho influx of Russian refu
gee to America has been
evidenced in tho quantities
of gorgeous embroideries
that band, girdle and cuff
many of tho new fall frocks.
A sleeve upon a dancing
frock may bo no sleeve at
all. Second thought may
rail it a train. Vet it takes
the French third thought to
catch it at the wrist with a
shower of pearls and call it
a bracelet.
One is in a quandary as to
whether one eats or travels
