Attention of Department of Justice Not officially Called to Alleged Activities In This Country.

WASHINGTON, April 29.—Department of justice officials said today no Steps had yet been taken to investigate alleged activities of sympathizers in this country with the revolutionist movement in Ireland. The pruy information relating to the activities of such sympathizers, officials said, were unconfirmed newspaper reports and the statement made yesterday in London by John Redmond, the Irish leader, to the effect that the movement had been abetted by men Jn this country.

No investigation is likely in the immediate future, officials say, unless disclosures, unlooked for now, come to their attention. Such investigation would be begun, they said, if the retorts were officially called to their attention or if the department itself felt that they were true and that American neutrality laws had been violated.

Although Sir Roger Casement was reported to have solicited funds openly in this country in the fall of 1914 for Irish organizations, and the attitude of many Irish sympathizers in this country is well known to the de partment, thus far there have been no official indications that the activities of these sympathizers had resulted in .: tk. violation of American neutrality laws. The solicitation of funds by Sir

Roger Casement was not investigated, it was.said, inasmuch as it was believed he was within his legal i-ights. The sending of money by sympathizers K the United Stai.es to the Sinn Fein, in Ireland, and to other organizations o revolutionists would not, officials pointed out, constitute a violation of American neutrality. Even the sending of arms to the Sinn Fein society /Would not alone constitute a violation of neutrality, the officials said.

Officials are uninformed as to the ejstent of the aid given financially or stW the shipment of arms, if any, by •ympathizers to the revolutionists.

GERMANS LAND ARMS?

Reported That Irish Rebels Are Well Supplied With Munitions. LONDON, April 29.—"The thing that surprises me the most about the uprising in Dublin is the supply of munitions in the hands-of the rebels," said an Irishman who arrived in London this morning. He spent ten hours in Dublin on Tuesday and, departing that evening, remained until last night in Kingstown. 'There is little doubt in the popular mind that Germans have been landing arms from submarines for months," he continued, "and it is even said— though I don't believe it—that a few Germans also landed and organized. 'I learned that the rebels made prisoners of a large number of policemen and a few stray soldiers at the Royal Irish Constabulary depot and at Phoenix park. "My walk through the center of the city Tuesday afternoon was very eventful and I was glad finally to reach Kingstown. I was challenged many times by both rebel and loyal sentries. The rebel sentries \ver threatening, but allowed me to pass after searching for arms. "I heard that the Countess Markievisz, the sister of an Irish baron, who was prominent in the Larkin strike and a leading figure in the present movement, shot dead a guard in front of Dublin castle in an effort to capture the castle. This .effort proved abortive."

This informant, who is an engineer of the war department, and a strong royalist, says a great majority of the people of Ireland are entirely without sympathy for the rebels, whom they regard as a small and irresponsible minority.

RIOTOUS SCENE IN DUBLIN.

Bullet# Fly and Machine Gun Clatter Adds to Confusion. DUBLIN, Thursday, April 27.—(via London, April 29.)—Fifteen hundred or so armed men of the Sinn Fein had a hold on Ireland's capital today. After four days of fighting their rebel flag still flew from a number of central points.

Since Monday some of the chief positions in the city have been in the hands of the rebels. In defending these strongholds against regular troops and Irish nationalist volunteers the rebels are fighting with desperation for their lives, Which they know may be forfeited on account of treason. Regulars now command all the rebel positions, the fall of which is merely a Question of time.

The streets of Dublin were deserted today except for sentries and military guards. Business was at a standstill. Civilians peeped anxiously from behind curtained windows. Field guns wei-e barking, machine guns rattling and rifle flre was pattering apparently from every quarter at the same time.

Soldiers and rebels fired at each other from street corners, wharves, roofs and windows. Sentries with fixed bayonets on loaded rifles, stationed every few yards, shouted their commands to halt. Naval guns joined in and added to the deafening gun

fire. From the quay the respective positions could be seen. The rebels were holding a square section of territory, from the point where Liberty hall stood before a gun boat destroyed it as far as Sackville street, to St. Stephen's green and the four courts districts and along the southern side of the river to the Butt and occupied Connell bridge. They also held isolated positions in a flour mill and a disused distillery opposite the north wall station.

Soon a naval gun opened fire. The first shot hit the tower and then half a dozen in succession struck the roof around it. The flag still flew and the rebels replied with rifles and a machine gun.

The bombardment ceased after a dozen shots but was renewed later. When night fell and all firing except with rifles ceased, the flag was still flying defiantly.

and were to be collected by Saturday night. Bad weather conditions this spring have somewhat hampered the building trades workmen, but with the warmer weather prevailing the chances for work have opened up and a prosperous summer is anticipated. "The oonditions in the labor world of Terre Haute this spring are unusual," Said T. N. Taylor, president of the Central Labor union. "Usually there are at least some strikes and lockouts, but this year th'ere has been no trouble experienced and the union labor men are working in perfect harmony with their employers."

ANDERSON, Ind., April 29.—Never, since the opening of the gas boom, have labor conditions in Anderson been as good as at the present time. With every factory in the city working night and day shifts factory pay rolls have exceeded all former records.

Work in Anderson is plentiful, and the pay is high. The new electric plant employing 2,200 men is the largest concern in the city.

LAFAYETTE, Ind., April 29.—Despite the fact that there are no big building operations in sight there is enough work in Lafayette to keep the members of the various trade organizations busy cfuring the summer. The Monon shops are just recovering from their long lay-off. At the present time there ai~e peaceful relations between the tradesmen and employes. The Ft. Wayne & Northern Indiana Traction Co. today gave notice of a wage scale increase of one cent an hour to all employes of the system. The company employs about 400 men here.

Master builders ajid carpenters have just reached a wage agreement effective May 1 for two years, giving the workmen an advance to 50 cents an hour and the street railway system has voluntarily granted its men a 5 per cent advance in wages. No difficulty is anticipted in any of the trades, and there is an abundance of work.

EVANSVILLE, April 29.—Factories working full time in this territory have created a steady demand for skilled labor while in this city the construction of public buildings and street improvements have caused unskilled labor to find employment.

SOUTH BEiND, Ind., April 29.—Labor conditions in South Bend are satisfactory. There is at present no unemployed man in the city and the South Bend office of the Indiana employment bureau is unable to supply the demand!? for either common or skilled help.

Blind Russian's Music

Wins Entry Info U.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., April 29.— Abraham Haitouvitch, a blind Russian musician, and his 19 year old brother, who had been held at the immigration station for deportation as aliens likely to become public charges, were free today with the right of entry into this country, because Edward White, commissioner of immigration, happened to hear the musician playing his violin.

Through the open window of the commissioner's office there floated the strains of Tsehaikowski's "Serenade." played by a master hand. Impressed with the quality of the music, White ordered the Russian and his violin brought before him.

Once more he played the Russian song of love, and under its spell White ordered the board of inquiry to convene and consider again Haitouvitcli's ease. The board learned that the immigrant was a graduate of Imperiad Russian conservatory of music at Petrograd, and that by a special decree of the emperor the disability that as a Jew would have barred him from the institution had been lifted. They learned that he was held in high esteem in Russia as a musician and that he had forsaken his native land in order to get his young brother out of the country to save him from the trenches.

The brothers were taken in charge by the Hebrew immigrant aid society.

only the recent French official reports but yesterday's German announcement stated that nothing important had developed in the Verdun region. It is nearly two months since the German war office has made such a statement-

Heavy German batteries in considerable number have been withdrawn from before Verdun and sent to a distant point which judging frofn the increasing activity there probably is the portion of the line held by the British.

It is expected the Germans gradually will reduce the frequence and intensity of their bombardments a.nd infantry attacks on the Verdun front until normal conditions of trench warfare have been restored. The announcement of the decoration of General Petain and other high officers who have taken part in the battle is regarded as an indication the French authorities share the view that the task of defending Verdun has been brought to an end.
