2 BAY 'DUBLIN'S COUNCIL - FROWNS ON TRUCE -Rejects Proposal to Discuss Terms—Soldiers Raid Convent. "SEARCH FOR DOCUMENTS London Press Sanguine Over Irish Peace Prospects—Quotes Greenwood. By the Associated Press. DUBLIN, January 3.—By twenty- two votes to fifteen the Dublin cor- poration at a meeting today declined to discuss proposals for an Irish truce. The negative vote came in spite of a strong appeal from High Sheriff Mc- Walter, who declared it was a “poor honor to de Valera, who is alleged to be in the country in the interests of peace, for persone professing to be his llowers to object to such discus- Soidiers ralded the convent of Car- melite nuns at Ranelagh, a suburb of Dublin, today. They forced the doors and made an exhaustive investigation into all the rooms in their search for letters and documents. A search was also made of the cemetery attached to the convent. The clay was removed from the top of a newly made grave, but the coffin was not uncovered. 1t is stated the troops acted courte- ously, asking the nuns to pray for them. An elderly sister shook hands with the soldiers and wished them a happy New Year. Hopeful of Improvement. LONDON, January 3.—Hopeful pre- dictions of improvement in the situ- ation in Ireland are coupled by the Daily Sketch with Sir Hamar Green- wood's forecast that within six months the two parliaments will be working in Ireland and with the in- formation, which the newspaper says the government possesses, that non- Sinn Fein candidates have already been chosen for the constituencies in south Ireland in sufficient numbers and with sufficient support to make it impossible for the Sinn Fein to boycott the elections for the southern parliament. The paper asserts that signs exist that the probability is that the Sinn Fein will decide to take a share in the government of Ireland under the Irish parliament and form a consti- tutional opposition in the legislature, pressing for greater autonomy than is conferred in the recent act. Held in Murder Inquiry. An officer. described as an army captain, has been arrested at Kilmal- loch, Ireland, in connection with the shooting at_Ballyorood on Thursday of Richard Leonard, truant officer, to the Limerick district council, accord- ing to a Limerick dispatch to the Central News.

The maximum sentence should be dealt out to criminals who use motor cars as a means of committing crimes and escaping. according to A. J. Batchelder, chairman of the executive committee of the American Automo- bile Association, speaking last night before 200 members of the Washing- ton Automotive Trade Association, at the second annual meeting of the or- ganmnon in the Willa otel. ‘Batchelder urged that all fed- erll and state laws be amended so as to call for limit sentences in cases involving criminals and the use of motor cars.

Affidavits, including a number made by negroes, were presented by the Florida congressional delegation to- day to the House cemsus committee in refutation of charges that negroes were willfully preventel from voting in Fiorida. The chargss w-re made before the com a"Just week b representatives ol the Na® nal Asso- ciation for the Advancement of Col- ored People during consideration of the reapportionment bill. Deny Men Were Whipped. In answer to the charge of W. White, assistant secretary of the a sociation, that two negroes named Jones were whipped at Live Oak, W. Sanders, John L. Hopps and W. R. Robinson, negro members of the re- publican campaign committee there, in an affidavit, said “no such occurrence has taken place in Live Oak or Su- wanee county. The negroes here went to the polls and voted and we were told by W. H. Lyle. sheriff of the county, that we would be protected in voting; that on the day of the gen- eral election in November, as far as we know, nothing was said to the negroes, men or women, to try to keep them from voting, and several hundred did vote in the county on that day. Continuing, the affidavit said: “We have resided in Suwanee county for some years: we have seen and partici- pated in several general elections where the negroes did not generally vote; the general election in November was no different from previous elec- tions, everything being quiet and or- derly on that day Ten Citizens Testify. An affidavit, signed by ten citizens, nearly all of whom were said to be county officers, declared the incident alleged did not take place. and adde “The polls were crowded with negroes, men and women, and they were not interfered with in any way Sheriff Lyle, in an afidavit, also de- nied any such occurrence as charged. He said he was at the polls all day, as were two deputies, and that the ne- groes voted without molestation, some six or seven hundred of them. J. F. Kinkaid, city marshal, also made affi- davit to that effect. Sheriff Scott Gregory of Quincy, Fla., telegraphed that it was “abs lutely untrue” that Dr. W. S. Stevens, a negro physician, had been ordered leave town. “Can produce Dr. Stevens’ affidavit that all reports concerning him are untrue,” the telegram de- clared. Representative Clark announced he would present the affidavit of Dr. Stev- ens to the committee when it reaches m. McKINLEY NIGHT SCHOOL “BEEHIVE OF INDUSTRY” Classes Resumed, Following Holi- days, With 1,200 Students Enroll- ed in Many Practical Branches. That the work of the District public night schools is catering to real needs was attested last night, when the classes reopened after the Christmas ‘vacation. The McKinley Manval Training School, one of the most pop- ular of the night institutions, was a veritable beehive of industry, where 1,200 students, both male and female, whose ages range from 14 to 65, are enrolled. In exphlnln‘ the work at McKinley, C. W. Rippey, principal of the night classes, said: “We are endeavoring to give each student who registers here exactly what he seeks. For instance, in our mechanical drafting classes we have persons mechanically inclined, both men and women, who are fitting themselves for drafting positions un- der the government, automobile and other industries, and we are gratified to know that several of our last year's students qualified and were appointed to positions at Newport News, Norfolk and the Washington navy yard. “We have machinists from the vari- ous trades who - are utilizing their evenings studying drawing and shop mathematics to improve themselves for their practical daily work. We also have students occupying drafting positions who are seeking additional instruction in advanced work, such as machine design, strength of materials and other subjects. ‘Our architectural drawing depart- ment takes care chiefly of those inter- ested or engaged in the building trades who are anxious to know how to make plans for buildings and to estimate the amount and cost of ma- terials. “The ‘electrical and radio depart- ments, the wood shops and eplendidly equipped machine shops are live cen- ters of practical instruction. “Our classes for women in_coolsery, sewing and millinery have been e: ceedingly popular this year, with the largest enrollment in the history of the school. _“The beauty of our technical courses lies in the fact that individual i struction is emphasized, so that a per- son may enter at any time during the year. Many students who, for vari- ous reasons, are temporarily out of school are making up their high school courses with a view to gradu- ation, or to earn college credits. “So much for the purely technical subjects. Our academic departments also are doing.a splendid work. “The chemistry laboratory is one of and its the best equipped in_ the city, classes are composed of foundry men and other mechanics from the navy yard, aids from the various scientific departments of the government, those training to become nurses, backward students in the high schools, those desir- ing to obtain advanced credit and those Lolding clerical positions where nomenclature of chemistry would be helpful. Our physics, Spanish, French, mathematics, Esglish and history de- partments are all ably meeting the popular demand.” Principal RIppey expects to open new classes in cooking, sewing, millinery and first aid some time this week. —_— A scientist the ity ”' I‘(I rl' CASEY s s | Printing Rcsults ~—that satisfy the most exacting.
