TOSTSEEYENVELOPS MEETING BETWEEN BRITISH AND ALL-IRISH DELEGATES All Factions of Both Northern and Southern Ireland Represented at Session To Take up Crisis In the Meantime Belfast Re- mains in Grip of Reign of Terror—Wrecks, Murders and Fires Are Rampant,. London, March 29 (By Associated P'ress)—Representatives of northern and southern Ireland and the British government today began discussion of the Irish crisis with much official secrecy. The conference was probably the most thoroughly representative held in London since the earliest days of the peace negotiations, and it was the first time the north and the south had been brought together in a formal conclave of this kind. The leading representatives were: Good Representation. For northern Ireland, Sir James Craig, the Ulster premier, and the marquis of Londonderry. For South Ireland, Michael Collins, head of the provisional government and Arthur Griffith, president of the Dail Eireann. Tor the imperial government, Win- ston Churchill, secretary for the col- onies, who presided, and Lord Birly enhead, the lord chancellor. At the conclusion of the morning sesslon no word was given out as to the proceedings of the conference. Train Is Wrecked. Belfast, March 29. (By Associated Press)—A freight and mail train bound from Belfast to Dublin was de- railed by a large party of armed men near Newry early today. Nine cars, including the mail car and their con- tents were burned by the ralders. The postal staff escaped. In consequences of this incide 1t the Great Northern Railway has decided to suspend operation of all main line trains out of Belfast at night with the exception of locals. A party of Ulster specials patrolling the Armagh-Louth frontier were fired upon when they inadvertently cross- ed into free state territory. One con- stable was wounded. The fire was returned with unknown results. Firing During Night. Republican army forces maintain- ed a considerable fire during the night and early today along the Tyrone border from Ballagh and Caledon to Favor Royal in the Aughnacloy dis- trict the apparent object being to keep the police forces on the other side on the alert and to harass and alarm the country folk. A military detachment visited the Ballagh dis- trict and moved openly near the fa- mous bridge across the border, but the Sinn Fein snipers took no notice of it. This was believed to indicate that the special constables were the chief objects aimed at. Only an hour previous to the visit of the military a police sentry was fired upon. At Ballycastle in north Antrim a branch of the Ulster bank was raid- ed today and $20,000 was taken. Bal- Iycastle is a strongly Sinn Fein dis- trict. A police patrol was ambushed to- day between Culloville and Cross- maglen, on the south Armagh-Mon- aghan border. One special constable and a sergeant were shot and killed and another special was wounded. Fire Church House. Limerick, March 29.—Armed in disguise attempted to burn the Kil- peacon rectory, near here last night. They ordered the rector, his wife and daughter to leave and then they set fire to the house. The rector re- turned with helpers and they were able to confine the fire to two rooms. The raiders took most of the sijer and wearing apparel in the house. The liasion officer here is investigat- ing the incident FURSES' HOME DESTROYED None Injured But Loss Is Put at $20,- 000 in Firc at Middletown, Mass,, Hospital. Middletown, Mass., March 29.—The nurges' home connected with the new Jssex county tuberculosis hospitai was virtually destroyed by fire today while fircmen fought successfully to keep the fiames from spreading to the main hospitail building.

No one was injured The loss was eostimnated at $20,000. The cause ¢i the fire wos not doter- mined. Corwmecticut River Is Still Rising; 12 Feet Springfield, Mass, Marci 29.—'i'he Connac'icut hag risen (wo feci at this city in the last 24 hours and stood at 13 fect above mean low water mark this morning. Continued rise is re- orted from southern Vermont poi and much rubbish is being brouyit down on the swift curient. Moderate fluod warnings iave been issued. men | TAD’ JONES INDIGNANT AT PROPOSED RULINGS Would Abolish Football if It Needs “High Brow Legislation” New Haven, March 29.—"Tad" Jones, head football coach at Yale university in a statement today on the present and future status of college football, declares that “if the situa- tion requires highbrow legislation I suggest that the game be abolished entirely as a menace to the youth of the country.” Speaking on the revision of foot- ball activities at Yale, Harvard and Princeton as put forth by daily pub- lications of those universities Coach Jones said, “in my opinion there is little reason for eliminating practice prior to the opening of college and the consequent shortening of the schedule. There is more to be sald in the way of eliminating all winter and spring practice and games before college opens, and I should be in favor of such a step. Three weeks are re- quired to properly condition an eleven for its first game, and I would suggest that an agbitrary date be set for or- ganized f@ practice which would al- low proper time for such condition- ing. “Inter-sectional games resulting in so-called championships with result- ant publicity can easily become a menace to the game. It appears {o me that this is a matter of university policy to be determined by the respec- tive colleges. “The question of a central commit- tee on eligibility requires no comment. Any plan to safeguard the amateur standing of the participants in all branches of athletics has my whole- hearted support.” Coach Jones further said that “there is nothing to be gained by forcing coaches to sit in the stands.” He said that if a substitution in a game was necessary in the judgment of the coach it was the duty of the coach to make such substitution as he deemed best, and that such re- sponsibility should not be taken from the coach. The recent change in the rule on substitutions will leave the ac- tual playing of the game almost in the hands of the players in his opin- ion.

It deals in an |analytical way with the fundamentals of all religion. Ansonia School Teacher Stricken With Smallpox Ansonia, March 29.—Miss Rosanna McCormick, - a teacher in a local schooi, was found late yesterday to be suffering from a mild attack of smallpox. As a result the school in which she taught and another school in which her father acted as janitor, was been closed and teachers and pu- pils in all other schools who are not \1(‘01!\.\1@«] have been excluded from sessions until permitted to return by the health officer. Famous Siamese Twins in Dying Condition; Operation Impossible One, Suffering From Yellow Jaundice, Is Unconscious, While Sister Is in Coma- tose Condition. Chicago, March 29.—Death still lurked in the shadows of the hospital room today where lie Josepfa and Rosa Blazek, the twins who were joined at birth and have been called the “Siamese twins.’” They continued in virtually an unconscious state, Josepfa entirely oblivious of her sur- roundings and Rosa in a comatose condition. Operation Hopeless. The long considered operation to separate the sisters Is entirely con- tingent on the death of one which, physicians have said would mean the death of the other. Should Josepfa die of the yellow jaundice which has stricken both, Rosa might possibly live two or three days but death would be certain without an operation Dr. Ben- jamin Breakstone said. The mere separation of flesh and bhone would be easy, according to the physicians but the effect of the opera- tion upon the mental and nervous systems has been considerod highly problematical. Have Individual Organs. Each of the sisters has individual heart, lungs and stomach. Joscpfa, who was stricken first is most des- perately ill. Thte disease communi- catad to Rosa. Until last night the temperature and pulse of the twins has been virtually identical. Tut lust night Josepfa's temperature mounted to 99 and her pulse 100 while | Rosa’s temperature \puise re- mained about normal 8 and 85 respectively. Turks Reported as Not Favorable to Treaty London, March 29. — The latest news from Angora indicates a strong majority against acceptance of the allies' proposals for a Near East set- tlement, says a Constantinople dis- patch to the Evening News today. The main objection of the Turkish | nationalists is to the award of Adria- nople and the Gallipoli peninsula to the Greeks. It is believed, asserts the dispatch, the entire settlement scheme will probably be wrecked on this point. NEW “DRY" AGENT. Washington, March 29.—Appoint- ment of John T.

WIRELESS SECRECY IS NOW ATTAINED Automatic Printing Machines Avoid “Listening In” OPERATION IS MECHANICAL Sender Uses Typewriter Keyboard and Can Average 100 Words a Minute— Receiver Machine Delicately Ad- Justed. Chicago, March —=Secrecy in wireless communication absence of which has been one of the drawbacks of this form of telegraphy may be attained by the adoption of the auto- matic printing machines used on some Associated Press and commercial tele- graph circuits in many parts of the country, according to Sterling Morton president of the Morkrum Co. one of the pioneers in the mainufacture of automatic telegraph equipment. Many Experiments Experiments have been under way for months in sending and receiving wireless messages with the automatic printers, Mr. Morten says and the system has proven successful. Sending from a typewriter Kkey- board, a typist can average 100 words a minute while the attendant at the recelving end need only watch the automatic printer work. Tape is Used The printing machines use a tape in which a punching mechanism operat- ed by the keys of the typewriter key- board punches holes in various com- binations. Electrical contacts made through the holes in the tape, dis- patch the impulses which are received and translated back into letters by automatic typewriter at the other end of the circuit. 3 Delicate Adjustments The advantage of the machines in wireless lies in a most infinite variety of adjustments by which no machines not adjusted to the sending machine can receive the signals. To all others, even though operating on the same wave length as the sending apparatus, the signals would be only a hodge podge of meaningless characters— “a la Chinese laundry ticket' Mr, Morton said. The secret of the automatic print- ers lies in five little magnets which, in varlous combinations receive and in- terpret the electric impulses, and a cam shift which translates their inter- pretation into typewriter action. There are thirty two possible arrangements of these parts and, in agreement with the: receiving stations the sending operator can change to any one of the 32 codes at will. If the sending and receiving apparatus is connected to make the punch hole in the figst row actuate the letter “a” on the typewriter the operators may change the adjustmént and have any one of the other four holes or any combina- tion of two or more of them repre- sent, “a’ changing the rest of the alphabet in the same way. 32 Combinations In addition to the thirty two com- binations thus attalned an almost ex- haustless variety of secret codes can be had simply by changing the speed of the motor which drives the ma- chine, the motors at the sending end being adjusted to conform. Before an unauthorized station can “listen in" on machine sent wireless, according to Mr. Morton the operator would have to find the wave length used the motor speed and then the particular keyboard code employed. MT. ETNA IN ERUPTION Dispatch From Rome says That Streams of Lava Are Driving Vil- lagers From Their Homes. London, March 29.—Mount Ttna is in violent eruption, says a Central News dispatch from Rome quoting advices from Palermo.

Quebee, March 20, re today de- stroyed the basilica of Ste, Anne de Beaupre, famous for its shrine, but the statue of Ste. Anne, with the his- torical relics to which miraculous cures have been ascribed, was saved. The flames which started in the sacristy spread rapidly to the mon- astery of the Redemptorist Fathers, to whose care the shrine had heen en- trusted, and then to the basilica. ‘Apparatus sent from this city to the most famous Mecca of religious pil- grims in North America, was able to do little to check the blaze. Lose Over Million, Monastery officials estimated the property damage at $1,200,000. That a greater toll of church relics was not taken was due to the heroic efforts of the brothers who risked their lives in saving what they could from the fin- terior of the basilica. The fire, believed to have been started by a short circuit in the elec- tric wiring system of the sacristy in less than an hour drove the fathers from the building. A call for help dispatched to the Quebec fire department brought the chief of the brigade with an engine and a company of men on a special train. Monastery Doomed. Meanwhile the flames spread to the monastery and defied the efforts of a courageous little band of volunteer fire fighters. Seeing that the great basilica was in danger the brothers decided to re- move everything of value. Rev. Fath- er Bruneau, at the risk of his life, suc- ceeded in carrying out the precious relics and the statue of Ste. Anne. The flames soon attacked the bas- ilica. through the roof, which the fire fighters could not reach with a stream of water. In a few moments the structure was ablaze from end to end, Towers Collapsc. Tn an incredibly short time, the tow 160 foot towers that comprised the facade of the cathedral crashed. The Quebeck firemen on their ar- rival did their utmost to save the structure, but they were handicapped by the fact that the local water works could not supply enough water for their engines. They were compelled to lay a line of hose three thousand feet long to the bank of the St. Lawrence, which was at low tide when the flames were at their height. The whole village for a time was in terror. A time it seemed that de- struction faced the little community which lives for the most part from selling souvenirs to pilgrims during the summer. Just as the villagers had abandoned hope, the wind turned. The only part of the entire group of buildings connected with the bas- {lica which was saved was the old chapel which housed the shrine be- fore the church was erected. The statue of Ste. Anne will be removed to this chapel pending the reconstruc- tion of the basilica. CARRIES BOMB 0UT Missive, Hurled Into Green Bay., Wis., Church, Explodes in Man's Hand— Not Powerful One. Green Bay, Wis, March 20.—A small bomb was thrown last night in the Union Congregational church, where 500 persons had gathered to hear a lecture by William E. (Pussy- foot) Johnson. F. ¢. Walker ran down the aisle, grasped the bomb and started out with it when it exploded in his hand. He was slightly burned. The bomb, filled with black powder, apparently was of amateurish make. Mr. Johnson at the time was in an- other church making a speech. One woman fainted and a general rush was made for the Union Congre- gation church exits when the homb was thrown in. The crowd was quieted however and Lewis L. Holton, a prohibition worker, who had been talking resumed his speech.

Wife of Cropanese, State’s Informer, At- tempts To Brand as False His Story of Being Cut by Accused Says She Stabbed Him Her- self —Charges of Bigamy May Now Be Preferred Against Him. (8pecial to The Herald). Hartford, March 29.—Sensational greater part of the work is for the| man and the two| testimony in the murder trial of Jo- seph Cianflone and Mike - Ruggerio, charged with the murder of Enio Renaldino ‘at IFarmington on October 26, 1920/ developed just prior to ,the noon recess today when Mrs, Mike Barry of Brooklyn, N. Y., indentified Dominic Cropanese as her husband, who married her at Borough hall, Brooklyn, February 1, 1921, under the name of Barry. Cropanese is the state star witness. Wife Slashes Husband Mrs. Lillian Barry of Brooklyn, N. Y., on the witness stand, testified that she was married to Dominic Crop- anese in Brooklyn, in March, 1921, under the name of Jacob Barry. She testified that she lived later with'a friend at Bay Ridge and that her hus- band came there to see her. One night, she said, in either April or May of 1921, in Brooklyn, she slashed him on the left side of the face with & pen-knife. The witness testified that she was very near sighted. She identi- fied Cropanese as her husband after he had been asked to stand up. e told the court that one child was born of the marriage and has since died. In answer to a question directed at her by the state's attorney she said, that she had served 2 years, betweem 1918 and 1920 in the Bedford re- formatory. She told the attorney that Dom- inic was her.only husband. She said the marriage took place in Borough hall, Brooklyn. The witness was una- ble to produce the marriage license this morning. She denied thdt she . took Cropanese to a house in 1919 and introduced him as her husband. Counsel Freedman asked her to come to court and testify she said. She sald she had never discussed the case be- fore last night, and the first she knew of the matter was last night when a detective, who was investigating & bigamy case against Cropanese, In company with a man named Angelo, but not Angelo Cianflone, told her that he was being held as a witness in 4 murder trial. Questioned by Judge Lawyer Calnen asked her if she was sure as to the time she cut Dom= inic. She said she was sure it was nmr § o'clock in the evening because he had his working clothes on, she explained. She said the Angelo, with who she discussed the case last night, lives in the neighborhood where Dom- inic lives in Brooklyn. Judge Wolfe asked her if she was being paid for coming up. She replied in the nega- tive. Angelo Nerbiello of 634 Union street, Brooklyn, was the next witness called. He grew up with the state's informer and knows him very well, he testified. On the night that Mrs. Barry and Doninle weer having the troubel on the street, he came along, he told the court. He said Dominic showed him the blood and said: “Look at what my wife did."” The cut, Angelo said, resembled & | scratch. He helped the injured man wash his face and then brought him to a drug store where idodine was ap~ plied. The occurence was between 8 and §:30 o'clock. Cross-examined by Attorney Alcorn, he said that he did not know the Cianflones and that he !'was in court at the request of Lawyer Freedman. He has never been in New Britain. The witness said he paid his own expenses, also the expenses of Mrs. Barry. The witnéss thought 'the stabbing affair took place in either | April or May. He said he was ap- | proached by a man in Brooklyn and asked to come to Hartford to testify. He also testified to seeing Dominic in a barber shop after the cutting affair, and said he warned the young man that he ought to behave himself. The witness in cross examination, said that when he was first approach ed to come up to Hartford he was |asked to come and take a ride, and that Dominic was on trial. The wit. ness was of the impression that the state's informer had becn arrested on a w y deal. More of the Stabbing He also said that on the night eof the alleged stabbing, Dominic made an attempt to attack his wife, but the witness saved her from the violence. Lawyer Calnen asked him if he knew Ruggerio. He asid he did not. Asked if he knew he was coming to a mup- & | der trial, he said he found it out when, | he arrived at Mr. Freedman's office. |Mr. Freedman volunteered the im= formation that he was paying the witnes's expenses. h The first witness this morning was Joseph Rocco. He lives at 73 Pross pect ‘street, New Britain, and is & brother-in-law of Joe Cianfiéne. He = saw the accused in New Britain In 1920. Whenever Joe was in New v (Continued on Eleventh Page).
