Im an effort to check up the ac- eount of the mail truck driver, Frank Havranek, that thirteen minutes elapsed between the time he left the Post Office the night of the big rob- bery and the time he reported the hold-up at the Beaoh Street Station, the detalls were re-enacted iast night. The same truck, loaded as be- fore and driven by Havranek, left the Post Office al the same time, It halted at Broadway and leonard Street and the mail sacks were thrown to the street It was while five sacks were being selected by the dummy “robber,” who leaped from the running board of an automobile in emulation of the real etick-up man, that a mail truck and its motorcycle convoy hove into view The mail truck driver stepped on the gas and speeded away to get bis load out of the danger zone, while ‘one of the guards steered his cycle up beside the truck Havranck was Griv- ing, leaped from the saddle and, with gun ready yelled: “Hands up!” He thought he had nipped a real hold-up in the bud. Inspector Coch- ran, Mr. Glover and the others for the moment belleved they were the yic- tims of a second hold-up, They were reassured, however, when they recog- nized one of the Federal mail guards. “We're Post Office officials re- enacting the scene of the mail rob- bery.” the guard was told. “{ don't care who you are, Up with your hands and let one of you ghow your credentials,” said the man with the gun. The credentials were displayed and the “hold-up” was over.

JOIN its the Flying Part of Fermanagh and Ty- rone Reported Ceded to South, LONDON, Nov 2 (Associated Press).-—There was reason to belleve to-day than a plan of settlement of the Irish question has been drafied und is being discussed in detati by the committee representing the Gov- ernment and the Irish delegations which is now exercising the chief functions of he Irish conference. Anide from the recent formal meet- ings of the committee und of the con~ ference as a whole, there have been ‘more intimate explorations of the uation at private meetings, at which tepresentatives of each side, accon- pacied by mutual friends, have tulked freely {mn conversations, understood to have bound none of the participants to uny definite action. One of the most important of these gatherings wok plice last Sunday night at the hyme of Winston Spencer Churchill, Colonia: Secretary, Prime Minister Lioyd George motored from his country home, Checquers Court, to attend it, Both Arthur Griffith and Michael Collins, members of the Dall Eireann delegation, are said to have been present. | | | ‘That an interchange of views took place at this meeting was accounted for in the form of Mr. Lloyd George's speech in the House of Commons cn Monday. That speech conveyed the impression, particularly in Ulster, that although the Prime Minister would recommend a drastic war pol- icy if necessary for British security, he would not fight merely to confirm Ulster in her resistunce to any form of accommodation. The Northern Whig. of Belfast, in publishing a report to-day that it had been agreed to add tne major por tions of the counties of Wermanagh and Tyrone to Southern Ireland, says “Mr. Lloyd George will now be in a position to state that while be will not be a party to coercion of Ulster, he is not disposed to ask Great Britain to fight and conquer South- mains stiff-necked and refuses simple compromise.
