PRESIDENT GREETS NOTED WAR HEROES AT THE WHITE HOUSE | n southern Ireland on the question of allegiance to Great Eritain. Sinn Feiners Worrled. At Sinn Fein headquarters here the attitude of hopduiness which has prevailed gave way to pessimism after the return of Michael Collins from Dublin, the fear being expressed that insistence upon a declaration of allegiance to the king by Premier Lloyd George would result in the breaking off of the conference. It was pointed out. on behalf of the Sinn _Fein, that this condition was repudiated by the dall eireann. and ‘hat there was substituted for it the | tormula of association with th iiritish empire. The Sinn Fein, it was declared, is willing to continue he conference according to formula, but will not accept alle, ‘0 the King. at least until the barg; s finally made. At the Irish office this forenoon was stated that alleglance to the King Was a necessary consequence to Coming into the British empire, and L-xeept on the basis of Ireland remain- ng'in_the empire no conference was possible. 4 "The Sinn Fein, spokesmen for it in iicated, W prepared to meet Mr Lloyd George's demand for a declara fon. of allegiance with a detaile argument.

Emptying the ibox, he saw packed tightly in the {bottom the bloods ed cap and hood. Inside the cap was a piece of {bloodstained tissue paper. This paper tallics in every respect with a piece of paper found around the handle of chet used in the slaying of tlake, not the slightest doubt that nd hood belong to Eastlake,” said Detective Boulware. “They are lthe very things for which we have been searching since the crime was committed.” Sufficient evidence already has been i gathered, according to the authorities, {to ineriminate Miss Knox, Until they found the cap and hood they were rather dubious as to the part East- lake plaved in the crime. In fact, Commonwealth's Attorney Watt T, Mayo expressed the opinion, before the cap and hood were found, that he was doubtful if enough evidence had been gathered to indict Fastlake. When informed of the finding of the additional evidence, Mr. Mayo's only comment was, “That is fine.’” Another Find Made. Another bit of evidence discovered in the Eastlake cottage is a piece of @ man's shirt, which, it is sald, matches a_bloodstained shirt sleeve found stuffed in a sock which was dredged out of the Potomac river near Colonial Beach several weeks ago. Detective Boulware believes that the hood and cap constitute the “rain- coat” worn by the man whom East< Jake's five-year-old daughter Mar- garet told the authorities she saw on the front porch of her home the morning her mother was killed. The hood is khaki-colored and ‘is made of the same material used in an or- dinary raincoat. Eastlake's children, Margaret and Roger, jr., will not testify before the grand jury. They will, however, be brought here to appear before the trial jury. The children are now in the custody of their uncle, Rev. Thomas P. Yardley of Catonsville, Md. RENEW PHONE RATE BATTLE.

PALESTINE, Tex., October 24.—The third day of the strike of several hun- dred trainmen and switchmen on the International and Great Northern rail- road found the situation quiet, with passenger service virtually uninter- rupted and frelght-train movement partially restored, according to reports at headquarters of the company here. There was no indication that the strikers, members of the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen, would heed tele- frams from the Railroad Labor Board at Chicago, virtually ordering the men back to work. E. G. Goforth, general manager of the road, announced that three freignt trains were operated over the system vesterday, and that he expected the service would be extended today. Out of San Antonio one freight train each way was reported under operation to- day. At Fort Worth company officials said freight service probably would be resumed within a few hours. Strikers at Houston and San An- tonio were in conference today consid- ering reports from leaders along the ine. o B aiitoad property at important places was heavily guarded. MANY REGISTER FOR JOBS. Two important developments in _the threatened nation-wide strike of rail- road workers engaged the attention of administration leaders today. Leaders were informed that registration of men available for railroad work to take the places of the strikers if the strike is called is getting larger every day, and that one eastern road has within the past few days added 600 employes to its shops force. Reports to government agencles in- dicate a general slowing down of busi- ness in anticipdtion of the strike. Busi- Mess men generally, it was learned in official circles, are going slow about Jetting new contracts and are generally reported to be “sitting tight” in antici- pation of a tle-up of transportation. Back from a trip into the middle west, where he was reported as hav- ing made an_informal survey of the railroad strike situation, Attorney General Danugherty called today at the White House. . The Attorney General later in the day planned to confer with United States District Attorneys Hayward of New_ York, Clyne of Chicago, Wertz of Cleveland, Lockwood of Buffalo and Van Nuys of Indianapolis. The conference, it was understood, would be for the purpose of mapping out a plan of action in event of a strike. POLICEMAN, SLAYER, DIES.

Bond and | Town Sergt. Boyer, who came to their | death in an attempt to arrest Walter Ware, an alleged bootlegger, who | killed himself when cornered in a !barn by a mob of | Orange. Perfect order prevails in the town: itoday. Groups of farmers from ad- |jacent towns are to be seen on the main streets discussing the crime, but colored people are attending to | their duties as usual | Seven men were injured by ehots {from Wa gun. None is serfously ‘hurt. Manley W. Carter, who suffered the most from the encounter, has his arm in a sling.The other six, J. H. Spicer, Henry Warren, county clerk William Browning. Edward Marsh and Grayson Brooks, were not seri- jously hurt. Dead Men Popular. Both Sheriff Bond and Sergt. Boyer were popular in this vicinity, the | former being acclaimed by all to have been the “finest county sheriff in Vir- ia," and the grief at their loss dis- d by the citizens of Orange is most marked. Both men were married, and leave {besides their wives four children Westmoreland Davis, here from Richmond Saturday with two of his ai Col. < and Bright, returned to Rich- mond the same night after offering | the Orange people military assistance if necded. In relating the story of the shooting John Farrar, emploved at Colvin's garage, who drove Sheriff Sergt. Boyer to Ware aturday afternoon, said: t Orange with the two officers 5 in_the afternoon. They went {to arrest Ware for refusing to pay a {fine for speeding an uutomobile. i They also suspected him of conduct- {ing a whisky still. Arriving at his {home, the negro was not found, but the two officers searched, and when they came out told Farrar to wait for them. The men then went Into a thick clump of woods and I waited for them who jdrove night until 9:30 o'clock at night, when I heard two shots, and Sergt. Boye cried, ‘Come here, sheriff” Thinking the shots came from hunters, at first I paid no attention to them. but after waiting for ten minutes more decided to_report the occurrence in Orange. I drove back to the town and notificd the citizens. I then returned with William Hern- den, Andrew Colvin, and Garrett Mz tin, ahead of a crowd of more than 400 men of Orange. In searching the bushes where I had last seen the offi- enter we ran across the two bodies. They were lying face down ward. Sheriff Bover had pow burns on his chest and had his gun in hand, but it had not been fired. Both were shot at close range. is time the crowd arrived and oft in emall parties to search the adjoining country. The Sec- tion led by Mr. Carter camé upon the barn of Jack P. Taylor of Richmond, tobacconist, vice president of the Uni- Company, where they found It was while going through the hay in the loft that Messrs. Carter and Marsh were shot.

He refused to surrender, and told his father if he came back again he would kill him. It was then that the posse set fire to the barn. In the meantime, Ware shot hi self and later his body was discov ed in th hes. This occurred at daybreak Sunday morning.
