Becker, 3298, propriations committee got permis«|ate, P et Br the Associated Press. NEW YORK. July 1-—Nature, be- stowing her blows impartially, step- ped in among the contestants in the great immigrant sweepstakes today, and, throwing a record summer fog over New York harbor, stopped the July race for liberty before it fairly got started When the thousands of immigrants gaw daybreak . thix morning they could scarcely tell it from night. It was impossible to see the stern from the bow of any of the nine great liners which were in quarantine wait- ing for medical inspection. The fog had settied early, and harbor men declared there was little chance for the immigrants to land and be counted on the national Guotas which opened at midnight last night Aftert a gallant run up the bay the an Italian boat, which had King Alexander, a Greek ship, by half an hour, almost came to grief, barely averting a collision with the Aquitania. Yet all her efforts went for naught, for she docked too late to get her passengers to Ellis Island. Four Ships Carry Greeks. The race early last night resolved ftself primarily into a race of Greeks. The Greek quota for July is low. only 659—and four ships which ar- rived after midnight brought more than that number. First to drop her anchor off Rosebank was the Italian Conte Rosso. with 500 Greek steer- age passengers. Twenty minutes later the Presidente Wilson. with 200, hove to. The Argentina got in early this morning and the King Alexander. Promptly at 6. Capt. Hillary, in command” of the quarantine cutter fleet, took out one of his boats. He had ' two doctors aboard and was bound for the Conte Rosso. Usually he would have put his men aboard in ten minutes. It was 8 o'clock when the doctor ran up the yellow flag at the Italian's masthead. And so it went through the early morning. The nine ships, all Iying out there “some- whero in the mist.” were literally lost in a strip of water not over a mile in width. Drenching Dulls Spirit. When after six hours the fog lifted, Quarantine presented a bedraggled sight.

The immigrants' race had de- generated into a dull, sick dud. No- body knew and nobody cared who was ahead. It was a matter of routine from that time on. One by one the ships were cleared and sent on their way up the bay to disgorge their immigrant cargoes for Ellis Island in a driving rain Tomorrow, perhaps, or Monday country will know who won. CITIZENS TO URGE D. C. AUDIT VIEWS (Continued from First Page.) the committee to enter formal appear- ance for the taxpayers of Washing- on. Two District Reauents. Chairman Colladay has asked two things in behalf of the citizens—(1) leave to file a brief for the taxpayers; (2) to have an accountant in behall of the citizens to observe the work of the accountants employed by the joint committee. Senator Phipps has assured Chairman Colladay that he sees no objection to this and thinks it is a fair proposal. Chairman Phipps expects that the conference will be held Thursday in 8pite of tha fact that all the House members of the joint committee are now out of the city. He has assur- ance that Representative Guy U. Hardy of Colorado will attend, ex Dects Representative William C. Wright of Georgia, democrat. and has notied Representative Robert Evans of Nevada, Senator Phipps says that he can see no reason now wny extensive hear- ings should be held. As he sees the task before his committee, it is essen- tially one of auditing the accounts in accordance with the terms of the paragraph in the District appropria- tion bill which directed that the in- vestigation be held. If examination of the accounts develops any question be cleared up by calling in this will be considered later by the committee. No Need for Delay. Senator Phinps sees no reason why the adjournment of the House need delay the inquiry and does not antici- pate that it will be protracted. He has expressed his intention of expe- diting the work as much as possible. He says that he welcomes the pro- posals from the citizens' joint com- mittee on fiscal relations, and has as. sured Mr. Colladay that they will re- ceive full consideration. As chairman of the citizens’ joint committee, Mr. Colladay announced last night the full membership of the executive committee which will be in eharge of the case for the cltizens at the National Capital, as follows Theodore W. Noyes, chairman; Ed- ward F. Colladay. vice chairman: D. J. Callahan, secretary; Corcoran Thom, E. C. Brandenburg, Frank J. Hogan, Robert N. Harper, Roger J. Whiteford. who is chairman of the committee on municipal finances of the Washington Board of Trade; Alonzo Tweedale, James T. Lloyd, for- merly a member of Congress from Missouri, and William L. Beale, All members of the citizens' joint committee and of this executive com- mittee will serve without compensa- tion. Alonzo Tweedale s to be made chairman of a small committee on accounting. A fund will be raised, as in 1915, to pay for a small force of working accountants, who will be under the direction of Mr. Tweedale, but nelther he nor any other mem- ber of the citizens' commlittes will receive one cent of pay. Joint Committee Work. The general citizens' joint com- mittee has been serving since 1915, during the hearings on fiscal rela- tions, which resulted in the finding by a joint committee of Congress that the citizens of the District are not undertaxed as compared with resi- dents of other cities of comparable size. This general citizens' committee comprises 100-of the leading citizsens of Washington, including the presi- dents of all the principal business, civic and professioral organizations and additional delegates, six each, from the Board of Trade, Chamber of Commerce, Merchants and Manufac- turers’ Association and the Federa- tion of Citizens' Associations, and two each from other important or- ganizations such as citizens’ associa- tions, the District of Columbla Bank- ers’ Association, the Washington Real Estate Board, the Federal ployes’ Union, the Cosmopolitan Club, the Civitan Club and the Kiwanis Club. - experlenced | | l | | | LIAM MELLOWES, ‘Whom the cable dispatches have little mentioned in the prexent upheaval in Ireland. but who is believed by many Irfsh in this country and abroad to have been the moving spirit of the i Four Courts againat the free state. ONLY 700 REBELS REMAIN IN DUBLIN (Continued {rom First city. The republicans fired from be- hind barricades in the side street. A loud explosion followed from a mine laid in Talbot street. The armored car escaped. however, its occupants opening a brisk fire on the attacking forces. The extent of the casualities is not known. Fifty additional republicans were cap- tured early this morning in Capel street near the Four Courts. Elsewhere in Ireland the Free State is continuing operations against the in- surgents. Further successes are r Ported in the task of cleaning out the strongholds of the republicans in County Donegal. Southwest of Dublin, however, the situation appears disquieting. The re- publicans are active in Tipperary, Lime- rick, Clare and Cork. Broad sheets of the De Valera faction, posted in Dublin today, said numbers of positions held by the national army troops in the south were being attacked by Irregulars. Dub- lin is still effectively cut off from com- munication with Cork and it is impos- sible to obtain definite information re- nrdm“ developments in the southern countries. Battle Raging Near Drogheda. Railway communication between ' Dublin .and Belfast was severed to- day by the blowing of an important bridge near Drogheda, where serious firing has been going on. It is be- lieved the Free State forces have brought up heavy artillery from Dublin for an attack on the Mill Mount barracks, which have been held by the insurgents for the last two months. Their fortress on the hill dominates the entire town. It is reported the republicans have seized the Great Northern railway station at Drogheda and that they also are taking up positions in houses com- mandeered in the town. There have been a number of casualties, mostly among civilians. The headquarters of both forces were flying their flags at half-mast today, indicating both had suffered losses. It is estimated that the insurgents have seized more than forty houses | In different parts of Dublin and the task of evicting them is not only formidable, but probably will involve great destruction of property. 42 Killed, 176 Wounded. Four Courts is now as much a ruin as the customhouse and the post office. Nothing but the bare walls stand of the law library. All docu- ments, including wills and court rec- ords, have been destroyed. The| greatest loss is the public record of- fice, which contained historic papers relating to Ireland for 600 years, in- the charters cluding of the Irish! citles. Every eff was made to save this structr ut the irregulars used it for the rage of ammuni- tion, which m._« It impossible to fight the flames. The casualtles of the Four Courts battle, as announced. are as follows: Wednesday, fifteen killed and forty wounded; Thursday, fourteen killed and twenty-nine wounded; Friday, | thizteen killed, 107 wounded. The insurgents held the police bar- racks, the courthouse and coast guard station at Bray, a seaside resort about twelve miles from Dublin. They evacuated these today, but set them afire, first warning adjoining resi- dents of their intention. Among the signers of the republi- can proclamation issued from the Four Courts was P. J. Ruttledge, & well known member of the dail, who represents Mrs. Croker in the admin- istration of the estate of the late Richard Croker. Rebel Leader Resigns. A report received in Dublin from Laytown stated that the rallway bridge tnere had been blown up, cut-!| ting off all communication with north | ireland. s It was reported that the officers of the Cork Examiner were seized by irregulars of the first southern divi- sion. Sean O'Hagerty. one of the most prominent leaders in previous fighting against England and until recently commander of the irregulars there, has resigned. The capture of the Carnadonagh barracks by national troops occurred after hours of flerce fighting, after which the white flag was flown and the garrison surrendered and was made prisoner. Police Barracks om Fire. A sharp engagement took place during the evening between the na- tionals, in occupation of the North Star Hotel, and irregulars, in Moran's | Hotel, in Talbot street.” This dis-| trict today was one of the most perilous in the city. The garrison in Moran's Hotel is belleved to be composed of members of the L. W. W., and the district has been turned into » hornet's nest. The Rathfarnham police barracks, in the suburbs, have been evacuated and set on fire. The garrison of regulars is belleved to have made its way to Dublin. Irregulars from the suburb of Bray are reported to be entering the town. RAILWAY BRIDGE WRECKED. Train Communication Between Dublin and Belfast Severed. By the Associated Press. BELFAST, July 1—The big main line bridge two miles south of Drog- heda has been blown up, severing railway communication between Bel- fast and Dublin. Incendiaries were busy in Belfast last evening. The police, examining a moving picture house, found.an 18- pound shell, with fuse and detopator tablished headquarters near Whampoa: “Chiung-Ming and his followers are rebels who have betrayed me,” Sun as- serted. “Their unconditional surrender constitutes the only terms I will con- sider. I am at the crisis and I will fight until 1 dte.” ‘With regard to his attitude toward the Peking government the overthrown leader of South China said: “Those spousible for the treasonable violations of the constitution in 1917 (the disso- lution of republican parliament) must be punished and guarantees must be given against any further dissolution of parliament before I shall Join hands with the north.” As the Assoclated Press correspond- ent left Sun's gunboat headquarters he saw the six warships of the southern navy getting up steam, apparently pre- paratory to pulling up anchor. Canton outwardly Is quiet, with Chen Chiung- Ming's troops preserving order. CHEN TO OPEN WAR. Not to Wait Longer for Sun to Assume Offensive. By the Associated Press. CANTON, June 30.—The hostilities which Dr. Sun Yat-Sen, president of the overthrown Canton government of China, has been promising as a result of his ousting from that city, seemingly are about to begin, but the aggressor, it appears, to be Sun's conqueror, Chen Chiung-Ming, rather than Dr. Sun. Chen, it is reported, has sent a regiment, under the leadership of Brig. Gen. Chun Wing-Sen, to at- tack about 5,000 of Sun's troops who have been operating some distance southwest of Canton. Chun, who is a Yale graduate, in a statement yes- terday, declared that Chen had re- frained from action up to the pres- ent because he desired to have any aggresfon that might develop come from Sun. Latest advices indicate -that the navy still is loyal to Sun, but Chen is reported to entertain no fears that it will attack Canton, largely because of his falth in his artillery, which is stationed along the river over which the ships would have to op- crate. It is reiterated that Chen has of- tered Dr. Sun safe conduct out of Canton and this safe conduct now has been made to include Sun’s more im- mediate followers. Chen, who sev- eral times has indicated his regard for south China and his belief that it must be represented adequately in is jany government set up for the whole of China, has offered to finance a political campaign to place Dr. Sun in_the presidency of the new govern ment, which {t is proposed shall be get up. Dr. Sun has declined the offer. CATTL CONDONED BY OFFICER E VAT BOMBING Georgia Raisers Object to Expense | of Dipping, Says Court Solicitor. VALDOSTA, Ga. July 1.—No ar- rests had been made early today In connection with the dynamiting of jcattle-dipping vats in Echols county, according to information reaching here. Sheriff Pennjngton was re- ported, however, to have gone to the scene of the trouble. This was the second against the vats within two,weeks. On June 19 one man was reported killed and three others serlously wounded in a fight between vat guards and anti-dippers. J. B. Hicks, Echols county court solicitor, in a statement said the dynamiters are not “bad" men, but declared they are actuated by the {same spirit that inspired the Boston tea party and “caused men of the south to rebel against the laws ot the United States back in the sixties.” The cattle ralsers, he said, object to the expense of rounding up their cat- tie and driving them to vats every fourteen days for a year. This, he said, costs more than the cattle are worth. y —_—— CLAIMED TO BE STARVING Woman With Babe in Arms Asks Aid in Cumberland. Special Dispatch to The Star. CUMBERLAND, Md..

Confidence in Free Staters Grows After Four Courts Victory. By the Associated Press, LONDON, July 1.—Reduction of the Four Courts, chief rebel stronghold in Dublin, seems to have justified the belief that the provisional Free State lgl\‘n'el'llrl'lent can cope with the situa- on.
