Dublin.—In thc raids cnrried out ngnlnst the Sinn Fe!:i organizations Ihroughout Ireland some arms and ex¬ plosives were found. Large quantities (if documents nnd Sinn Fein literature wore seized, notably in Dublin, whore every cofiy. of tlip report of Prank P. Wulsb and ICiUvard F. Dunne, who in¬ vestlgnted conditions in Irolnnd on be- Imlt of American Irish societies, nnd correspondence relnllng to nrrnn;.'lni; trade relations between Ireland nnd the United States and other foreign countrle.s, fell into llie hands of the nuthnritios. Tho liel let waf expressed in Sinn Fein qunrtcrs here thnt noth¬ ing of an Incrimiiuillng nature was found.
The Gnzctle prints ilie proclnmntlon, signed by Viscount French, the lord lieutenant of Ireland, prohibiting nnjl suppressing the Sinn Fein parliament known as the Dail EIreann. It refers to the prnclanintlon ot Tu'y 3 suppress¬ ing the Sinn Fein organizations as un¬ lawful nssociniioii.s. It describes the Dnli Kirciiiin ns a dangerous assocln- tloii nnd snys thnt .Ince July It hns been employeil for nil tho purposos of the then suppressed organizations. The proclnMiiilioii applies to the 32 counties and six county boroughs of Irolnnd.
The Dull Eironnn Is plnced under the -crimes act, and Its meetings nre pro- hiliited. Any member of parliament lielnnging to the Sinn Fein who dis¬ obeys the proclamation of the lord lieutenant wili be liable to prosecu¬ tion under this act.
The proclnmntlon Indicates an Inten¬ tion on tho pnrt of tlie government to return to jail niost ot the men Impris¬ oned In Jlay, 191S, under suspicion ot connection with Geiman plots, who were released by Viscount French aft¬ er the signing of tho armistice.
The view held lioro Is that the Brit¬ ish government now Intends to treat the entire Irish reipulillcnn movement ns seditious, ns lieing aimed at the overthrow of the king's nuthorlty and Illegal under the treason und felony aet.
Irish Constitutionalists expressed the belief that the repressive action of the government will strengthen the Sinn Fein, Prominent Sinn Feiners assert¬ ed that it was their intention to main¬ tain their policy of republicanism.
Detective Hoey, killed In Dublin, wns shot dead outside the detective of¬ fice In Townshend street. Six shots were flred nt him. Hoey had given tes¬ timony nt several recent courts mar¬ tini nnd also had acted ns one of the bodyguard of the lord lieutenant of Ireland.
Arthur Grimth, one of the founders of the Sinn Fein organization, speak¬ ing nt central branch of the Sinn Fein, snid thnt the raids and the suppression oi'' the Iri.sh parlinment were concert¬ ed in Belfast in consultation with the lenders of the Ulster Unionist Coun¬ cil. Jlr. Grimth declared thut the Sinn Fein would curry on exactly as before.

EARLY RAIIFIGATION URGED BY MINORITY
Whore will you lind a greater screen hero than "Bill" Hart, the fa¬ mous motion piqture star? Echo answeci, where? In his newest Art- craft picture "Wagon Tracks,' which ,wiil be shown at the Y, Jl. C. A. thea¬ tre next Saturday, Sept. 20, he por¬ trays a guide in the lifties, leading a wagon train across tho desSrts and mountains toward the golden west by way of the historic old Santa Fe trail.
There are battles with Indians, a struggle with gdmblers, a revenge motive, and love and adventure ga¬ lore. Witfial it is an accurate his¬ torical record of a period of .Ameri¬ can life that il romantic ,to the last degree—that period when men and women of every walk of life trekked lo the sunset across the wild lanas, peopled by hostile Indians, herds ot buffalo and threatened 'with every possible danger.
The role selected for the star is a gre^t one—ot the Kit Carson type of frontiersman. He is a man who tears nothing, who is quick to champion a just cause and as quick to punish those he deems guilty ot wrong. Jane Novak makes a charming heroine and thero is a flne supporting cast. Lambert Hillyer directed the picture which was written expressly tor Jlr. Hart by C. Gardner Sullivan. Joe August did the camera work. It is a proof of his undoubted skill that he got gome of the most remarkable scenes ever shown on the screen.
No one who sees this picture will soon forget il. It will be a vivid memory for months afterward.

gone conclusion."
The suggestion of Senntor Lodge, In the ninjorlty report, that whntever changes were made In the treaty could be considered Immedlntely by the Pence Conference, which, Mr. Lodge said, would be In session six months more. Is challenged by the minority. Senator Hitchcock, who wrote the re¬ port, asserts tbnt the conference has acted fnnlly on tbe treaty and has no niejns of compelling Germany to send delegates to Paris to reconsider it •-
The report asserts tbat for the United States to amend or reject the treaty will mean that It will sacrifice all the concessions obtained from Ger. many by a dictated peace. Twelve concessions are cited, Including mat. ters of Industrial und economic Im¬ portance.
The reservations proposed by the majority, the report says, are designed to defeat the treaty.
"While niasquerndlng In the guise of reservations," It Is added, "they are In fact alterations of the treaty."
As to the amendments, the minority argues that, If adopted, they will have the effect of recommitting the treaty to Purls, thus undoing the work of the Peace Conference.
The minority asserts that as n result of the delay ns to the treaty ferment hns been cnined In llie Industrial world, doubt has arisen In the flnnn- clnl world, nnd trade, especinlly ex¬ port tnule, is lieliig hnlted. All this, it is stuted, bus been done "'by a ma¬ jority of tlie committee known to lie out of hnrmony with the majority of tbe senate and the majority of the people." This Is declared to be gov- ernment by obstruction as well as by minority.
